Epilogue- 30th June 2015- A Wedding & A Little Bit More.
"Abi, could you do me a favour and take this to Joey please?" Lauren asked, holding out a envelope as her mother started to curl her hair. Abi nodded, taking the envelope and left the house, heading over Number 23...
"Abi, what are you doing here?" Fatboy asked, as the girl walked in.
"Is Joey around?" She replied. Fatboy nodded, showing her to the living room.
"Hey, Abs, what's up?" Joey asked, as he dressed Mason.
"Lauren asked me to give you this" Abi replied, handing him the envelope. He nodded, taking it once Mason was dressed and opened it...
Joey,
I have never been good with words you know that. I try and tell you how I feel everyday but I find it hard, even at the best of times.
7 Months Ago, I was a shell of what I am now. I was existing because I was scared and ran away from you. I question why I did that because I truly don't understand the reason anymore. I don't why I ran but I knew that somehow I would find my way back to you again. I didn't think we would be on our second wedding but we are.
I love you doesn't cover what I feel for you. You consume my entire being. I wasn't looking for love when we met which is why I fell for you and I'm using your words here, baby, but I did fall for you, hook, line and sinker. You complete me and I don't know what I would do if you wasn't in my life. You make me a better person and excited for what the future holds.
Your everything to me, literally and I'm not just talking about hot hook ups somewhere where we really shouldn't and the intense love making because every time is like the first time all over again back in Dad's office. But really, I wouldn't be the real me without you and you know that.
I love you and I will see you later.
Your Lauren

Joey smiled as he looked up, his eyes filling up slightly but quickly wiped them. He saw Abi had left as he stood up, putting the letter in his jacket and picked up Mason, walking from the room...
"Oh my god, Mum, it's perfect, thank you" Lauren proclaimed, as she looked in the mirror, smiling as her hair, all curly, her make up and her dress which made her feel like a princess. She twirled, sighing a sigh of content.
"Your welcome, darlin', you look beautiful" Tanya replied, kissing her cheek when Lauren saw Poppy look off colour.
"Hey, Pops, babe, you okay?" Lauren asked her, moving towards.
"I'm fine. Just stomach cramps. She has been giving me them all morning" Poppy replied, smiling despite of herself.
"Sure you are okay?" Lauren asked again, placing a hand on Poppy's forearm, smiling a little. She nodded, grabbing her bag and they worked their way to the car...
"I can't believe my eldest is getting married!" Tanya exclaimed, as they poured champagne in the car.
"Again" Lauren said, smiling.
"Yes, lets not mention that. Today is a good day!" Tanya replied when Poppy suddenly made a shout of pain, placing a hand on her bump and Lauren and Abi felt water against their feet, their dresses becoming damp...
"Please tell me that's not your waters, Poppy Chubb!" Tanya proclaimed, sighing. Lauren stared at her friend in worry.
"We need to turn this car around right now and head to the hospital!" Lauren exclaimed, sighing a little as Poppy began to scream in pain.
"Lauren, it's your wedding day!" Tanya hissed at her as Poppy took Lauren's hand, trying to control her screams.
"And if you haven't notice my best friend is in labour, Mum! Abi, ring Fatboy now!" Lauren replied. Abi nodded, taking out her phone...
"She'll be here, bruv, she already married you the once. She ain't gonna ditch you!" Fatboy told Joey, slapping his back as his phone started to ring. He saw it was Abi and answered.
"Abs, Babygirl, what's wrong?"
"It's Poppy. She has gone into labour. We are heading to the hospital now" Abi replied, sounding worried.
"No, no, no, no" Fatboy chanted, sighing.
"Fats, what's going on?" Joey asked him, worried.
"Right, I'm on my way. Thanks for telling me" Fatboy told Abi before hanging up.
"It's Pops, she is labour, man. The girls are heading to the hospital" He added to Joey who nodded.
"Erm guys, I'm afraid the wedding is postponed. Poppy has gone into labour and I need to take Fatboy to the hospital" Joey quickly told the people in the church before making a quick retreat with Fatboy...
Lauren could no longer feel her hand as Poppy held on for dear life, screaming as more contractions hit her...
"Where the fuck is he?" She screamed, grabbing Lauren's hand more.
"I don't know but he will be here soon. I know it" She replied, sighing a little, indeed wondering where Fatboy was.
"I'll take over if you want" Alice said, walking in the room. Lauren nodded, relived for the break and walked out the room, gathering her thoughts.
"Lauren?" Fatboy's voice broke her thoughts. She looked at him and saw Joey was with him.
"She's in there" She replied, pointing at the room and as if on cue, Poppy's latest scream filled the hospital. Fatboy's face face whiten and rushed into the room...
"Hey" Lauren said to Joey, smiling, hugging him.
"Hey yourself. You look beautiful, babe" He replied, tightening his arms around her.
"You don't look too bad yourself" She said and they held their embrace for a while before pulling away and sitting down...
"You know, Poppy has almost put me off having kids" She proclaimed, sighing, resting her head on his shoulder and he wrapped an arm around her. He looked down at her.
"Almost?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, almost, don't worry but I don't think I'm ready for all that pain yet" She told him, smiling slightly. He chuckled and kissed her gently.
"Good to hear. I don't know what I do if you changed your mind about having them" He replied as she rested on his shoulder again and he kissed her forehead...
"You'll know something is serious wrong with me" Lauren said, laughing.
"Yeah gotta give Mason some siblings somehow!" Joey replied, humour in his voice full of humour.
"Oh, is that all I'm here for?" She questioned, raising a eyebrow, looking back up at him.
"Yes and the sex, babe, sorry to admit" He replied, smirking. She playfully slapped his arm, scoffing.
"Knew it but can't blame you. I'm too good at it" She said, laughing.
"That is true, very true" He told her "Oh, I loved your letter by the way. There wasn't time to write you one"
Lauren looked up at him, nodded and kissed him, as they heard loud scream from Poppy's room and Alice rushing out...
"Remind me to never have kids" She exclaimed, rushing to the toilet. Lauren laughed as she heard Poppy's final screams then silence then the faint sound of babies cries. Lauren and Joey shared a smile as they stood up and after a few moments, Fatboy came rushing out, beaming.
"There's someone you need to meet" He said, grinning. Lauren chuckled and followed him into the room to see the new baby protectively in Poppy's arms...
"Oh Pops, she is beautiful" Lauren said, walking toward. Poppy giggled.
"Lauren, meet your goddaughter, Daisy Mae Chubb" She replied, smiling as she handed Lauren the baby.
"Daisy. That's a great name" She said, holding the baby and sitting down.
"Well I have a Poppy now I have a Daisy too" Fatboy replied, from behind.
"I should of known you'll come out with something like that!" Lauren exclaimed, laughing.
Joey, meanwhile, was watching her with the newborn and it made him warm inside watching the sight, smiling on how beautiful she looked with a baby...
"Woah, Lauren, your husband has that look on his face. You will be pregnant soon if he gets his way!" Fatboy said, quickly. Lauren looked back at her husband and saw him beaming at her..
"We just have talked about this. Not yet" She said, laughing a little.
"No, we are just gonna have fun practising first" Joey replied, smirking. Poppy giggled and Lauren rolled her eyes.
"Hey, hey, not in front of the baby, eh? I don't want her to know that stuff until she is at least 18 not 18 minutes old!" Fatboy proclaimed, walking forward but smiled a little.
"We'll let you have time to yourselves. Congrats guys, she really is beautiful" Lauren then said, standing up and handed Poppy back Daisy, kissing her friends cheek and welcomed a hug from Fatboy.
"Yes, we will try and be the most above water godparents ever!" Joey added, shaking Fatboy's hand before kissing Poppy on the cheek then him and Lauren left...
"So how long I have I gotta wait before I get you pregnant" He questioned, taking her hand as they walked through the hospital towards the exit.
"A year or so. We have a certain list to complete first" She replied, a smirk forming on her lips.
"One track mind. That's what I love about you" He told her, spinning her closer to him, resting his head on her shoulder, hugging her from behind as they carried on walking...
