"God ive missed you" joey smiled as he curled around Laurens body
"I've missed you too, I can't believe everything we've been through" Lauren replied
"It's ok, we've got each other back now babe, that's what matters" joey replied
"We need to tell Leon though" Lauren said turning to face him
"Ok babe, it's up to you, I'm not gonna force you" joey smiled
"I should be getting home" Lauren said
"You could stay longer and go before anyone gets up" joey laughed
"Ok, I like the sound of that" Lauren smiled, curling further into joey's body.

"And where have you been?" Tanya asked as Lauren tried sneaking back into no.5 early the next morning
"I was at joeys, talking" Lauren said, feeling embarrassed
"Oh, just talking" Tanya smirked
"God I feel like 19 again, sneaking about" Lauren laughed
"Oh it's alright darling, you're a grown up now" Tanya laughed
"Was Leon ok?" Lauren asked
"Yeah he's still sleeping" Tanya replied
"Ok, well me and joey are gonna take him out today, see how they get on" Lauren explained
"Sounds like a good idea, so you and joey have sorted things now?" Tanya questioned
"I dunno if I'm honest with you mum, yeah we talked about things, but I've still gotta go back to Paris" Lauren said
"Isn't there any way you can move back here?" Tanya asked
"I dunno mum, and if I'm honest I don't know if I want to. I love Paris and so does Leon" Lauren sighed
"But joey's got the club" Tanya said
"Yeah I know, I suppose we will have to talk about what does gonna happen with us" Lauren said, giving her mum a small smile.
(J/L)
Lauren had climbed out of the shower, and went to check on Leon, he was in his room watching cartoons, Lauren heard the door knock, and heard Tanya go and answer,
"Lauren joeys here" Tanya shouted up
"Ok I'm coming" Lauren replied, grabbing her dressing gown,
"We need to stop meeting in compromising positions miss branning" joey laughed looking at Lauren
"I think you do it on purpose" Lauren laughed, as joey winked at her
"Anyway what can I do for you?" Lauren questioned
"I thought maybe we could go to the zoo" joey asked
"I think we're a bit old Joe" Lauren laughed
"I meant with Leon" joey replied
"I'll ask him" Lauren smiled, as she called for Leon, he came down the stairs, smiling
"Joey wanted to know if you wanna go to the zoo today." Lauren asked
"Yeah" the child shouted
"Great, I'll have to get ready first" Lauren smiled
"Come watch cartoons joey" Leon said, taking joeys hand and leading him upstairs.
(J/L)
Half an hour later, Lauren had finished getting ready and headed into where her boys were, she smiled when she saw them laying on the bed glued to the TV,
"You two ready?" she asked
"Yeah let's go mum" Leon shouted, jumping from the bed and running downstairs.
They got into the car, and made the 45 minute journey to London zoo. As soon as they arrived Leon was jumping around telling Lauren what animals he wanted to see. They got their hands stamped and headed through the turn stalls. Leon was getting so excited looking at all the animals.
"He's so energetic" joey laughed, as he took Laurens hand and they walked along behind Leon
"Tell me about it" Lauren laughed back
"I don't wanna miss out on anymore Lauren" joey proclaimed
"I don't want you to either joey, but we live in Paris, and you're here" Lauren sighed,
"Can't you come back here?" joey questioned
"It would take a lot of work, I'd have to get a new shop" Lauren said
"I'll help babe" joey smiled
"Leon would love being closer to my lot as well" Lauren smiled
"Please babe, we can get a place, we can be a family" joey smiled
"Ok, I'll have to speak to Leon first" Lauren replied, joey stopped her from walking and kissed her,
"Ergh mummy" Leon laughed, seeing the two
"Come on mate, wanna get on my shoulders?" joey asked as Leon beamed a smile. Joey picked the child up and pulled him onto his shoulders, he took Laurens hand and the three of them continued walking.
(J/L)
4 hours later, the three of them pulled up outside no.5, Lauren and joey climbed out of the car, joey carried Leon up the stairs and played him on the sofa, as he had fallen asleep in the car,
"Thanks so much for today joey" Lauren smiled
"You're welcome babe" joey smiled back
"Do you wanna stay tonight?" Lauren asked
"Yeah why not" joey smiled
"Can you carry him up to bed please?" Lauren asked, and joey took his son and carried him up to bed, followed by Lauren.
"I love you mummy" Leon said as Lauren tucked him in
"I love you to babe" Lauren smiled
"I love joey too" Leon said
"And he loves you baby" Lauren replied
"I wish joey was my daddy" Leon whispered before falling back to sleep.
Lauren knew she and joey would need to sit and talk to Leon properly, especially if they were going to stay in Welford.
