Soulmates~ A Joanne Story

Chapter 15

Joes POV

My mum opened the box and every one went quiet. My mums jaw dropped and Zoe and Alfie stared at us while my dad looked around confused as he had no idea what it was. "Joe.. is this true" my mum said almost speechless. "Wait a minute what is this?" My dad said as he had no idea what it was. "Yes joe what is it." My mum said looking at me. I felt all eyes on me and dianne. I knew dianne was to terrified to talk so I spoke up. "A pregnancy test" my dads eyes went wide. I nodded my head "diannes pregnant"  "with your child" my mum asked I nodded dianne climbing to my arm. "When did this... happen" "I'm 12 weeks today" dianne replies finally finding her voice. Everyone sat there lost for words until Zoe had finally realised what it meant. She squealed and ran over and hugged me and dianne tightly. "Congrats guys I'm gonna be a auntie!" She beamed. Alfie also stood up and hugged us and said congrats. "Congratulations guys" my dad said also hugging us. My mum sat there still letting it sink in "congrats I guess" my mum said unsure of how to react. After a moment she kept up from her seat "I'm gonna be a grandma! I'm gonna be a grandma!" She hugged me very tightly so I could barely breathe but hugged dianne a bit more gently. "If there's anything you ever need call me ok" we nodded "have you been to the doctors" my mum asked bombarding us with questions. "Yes we went a few weeks ago"

Joe and dianne has just announced here pregnancy I kinda suspected that dianne was pregnant as she was throwing up a awful lot and had started wearing baggier clothes. Of course I was happy for them and couldn't wait to meet the baby, but part of me was jealous i wanted a child but I brushed of the jealousy and Tried to act over the moon about the news which I was. After a couple more hours joe and dianne left so they could video call her parents to tell her the news. Me and Alfie were staying the night as we had no where to be. After goodbyes we sat down to watch the grinch. 10 minutes into the film mum spoke up "joe
And Dianne are very young aren't they I do hope they know what they are doing if I was them I would put it up for adoption but the are adamant they want to keep it" I replied with "I'm sure they will be fine diannes a stone person" "I know I'm just worried they aren't ready parent hoods hard and especially with school." Alfie who was sat next to me spoke up saying "I'm sure they'll be able to handle they have loads of people who will be happy to help out" I agreed with Alfie. After that we all went silent and carried on watching the film.

We arrived home around 7:30 pm. Me and joe were both so pleased with how his family took the news. I was terrified of how they would react. His mum said that they would tell the rest of the family so that was one less job for us to do. We were setting up the laptop to video call my family In Australia. They didn't even know I have a boyfriend and we've been dating for a few months now. We were in joes room as nobody was back from there family's houses. After around ten minutes of us messing around we received a phone call from my mum. I picked up excitedly joe sitting on the chair next to me. We picked up and I said hello nearly bursting with excitement. My mum, dad and brother Andrew were all gathered around the laptop screen. They all said hello to me. After lots of excited greetings, my mum noticed joe sitting silently in next to me. "Who's this honey?" My mum asked inspecting joe "oh this is joe my boyfriend" they all greeted joe with smiles "hello nice to meet you all" Joe said I could tell he was really nervous so I grabbed his hand under the table. "So how long have you 2 been dating?" Andrew asked "a week into the school year so a few months now." I replied "and why didn't we know?" He asked suspiciously. "I um I don't know." My dad smiled and said "well at least we've met him now." I smiled I loved my dad so much! For a hour we caught up on everything that had happened the last few months leaving out the baby news. My family were getting to know joe and it seemed like they really liked him and joe liked them which made me so happy! I looked at joe and he nodded slowly at me knowing what I meant. "We have something to tell you." I declared. Them all looking at me confused. "And what's that sweetie" my mum said. "Well I'm pregnant!" I said smiling shyly. My family went into a stunned silence. "Was this with that boy" my mum said coldly giving joe a dirty look. I nodded "and I wouldn't pick to have a child with no one else. "So your keeping it" she said with a look of disgust. "Yes and we can't wait to meet them." "Honestly girl I'm a so disappointed with you" tears filled me eyes "why" "I would've thought you knew going if and getting yourself knocked up with strangers." My dad and Andrew stayed quiet not saying a word. My dad was looking at joe like he was going to murder him and Andrew looked like he wanted to be happy. "Well I want to let you know that I love joe and he is not a stranger and we will raise our baby wether you like it al not!" "Well I'd be surprised. With who wants to stay with you you filthy pig" i went silent holding back tears I wanted to say something but I couldn't I suddenly heard joe speak up. "Actually I would like to say that dianne is the best person ever and I would never ever leave her and I would be lost with out her in my life." I smiled looking at joe god I loved him. I was shocked to here my dad speak up. "And what do you have to say about this boy hurting our girl." "She is not our girl anymore" my mum yelled. "I am delighted with the news and cannot wait to meet our baby." Joe said smiling at the thought. "Well I think you should save dianne the pain and leave her now when she's early on." My dad said. I was shocked did they really want joe to leave me on my own. "Leave now boy and that's an order" "I am not going anywhere who would I be to leave di on her own to raise a
Child" "that's it boy I expect you to leave dianne or I am coming over to take dianne away." My dad said getting angry. "Dad I think that's to far I think joe and di will be amazing parents" Andrew said speaking up finally. I smiled at him great fully. "Don't you get involved Andrew go away while we finish." Andrew tried to protest but was sent out the room so we where left alone. "We have to go" I said coldly. "Good I never want to hear from you again from now on you are no longer our daughter if anyone asks "we don't have a daughter." My mum said. "Good that works for me" I said hanging up before anything else could be said.

Joes POV

I was disgusted who would I be to leave di on her own! And the way the treated her! We hung up an Do was absolutely fuming. When we hung up dianne burst out crying onto my shoulder. I gently rubbed her back and whispered reassuring things into her ear. "Dianne I would never leave you you know that?" I felt her nod against me. "I love you so much!" I said "I love you to Joseph" she said quietly. After a little while I felt her dozing of to sleep on me so picked her up bridal style and led her on the bed and I then took of my shirt and trousers so I was in my boxers and led next to her. I let her cuddle into me and hugged her tightly to me. We had forgot to give each other our presents but that could wait until tomorrow Before sleep both took us.
