JOE'S POV ~
Poor Dianne. It's been a week since everything happened and she hasn't stopped crying. She's so weak, mentally and physically. I don't see a way past the sadness. I've been cuddling and kissing her nonstop to calm her down but knowing that's all I can do kills me inside.
We heard a knock at the door. Dianne hurriedly dried her eyes as a doctor walked in. "We have the tests back and we've decided that it's safe for the four of you to go home." My eyes lit up. I couldn't wait to cuddle my little princess again. It was the only thing that made Dianne smile all week. That smile soon faded. "Joe I can't." She said once the doctor left. "I can't go home, not yet." She continued.
"Di we've been here for over a week, we can finally go home and see Tegan again." I told her.
"I know, I'm so excited, but I need to go home. I need to go to Australia. Right now, the only thing I need is my family, my mum and dad." The words pained me to hear. "I guess you know what's best. What will we do about the kids?" I asked. The twins need their mum, but we can't all go with her. "I'll take the twins, you look after Tegan for me. Tell her that I'll be back as soon as possible." She replied. With that we left the hospital and went home together for Dianne to pack up some things. My mum had been at our house for the last week and a half so I think it was a relief when we walked through the door. "We're home." I heard Dianne shout while I carried the twins inside. Mum was at the door, Tegan on her hip. "Welcome home!" She cried. We got the twins out to have cuddles before Tegan, who was waddling around, came in. It was the sweetest thing, seeing her bond with the twins. I knew she would fit the role of 'big sister' perfectly. We talked for ages before Dianne pulled my mum aside.
TRACEY'S POV~
Dianne pulled me out of the living room. "Tracey, I've got to go." She said.
"Go where? Dianne what're you talking about?" I replied.
"I've got to leave for a while Tracey, go back to Australia with the twins." She told me. I felt my heart stop. Has anything happened between them? I questioned. No, Joe wouldn't let anything happen, not to Dianne. especially just after the birth of his two children. They love each other too much.
"Why Dianne?" I asked.
"What, Joe didn't tell you?" She responded.
"No, what happened." I replied.
"Well, two days after I had the twins, I got a letter." She continued, breaking down in tears.
"Dianne, calm down honey." I reassured her.
"Sorry Tracey. Anyway, I got a letter from Casey, my best friend.
She killed herself Tracey. She killed herself. I've been trying to calm down all week. I've come to the realisation that the only thing I need right now is my mum. I still love Joe so much and I'll be back in a week or so. I'm sorry." She cried.
"Oh Dianne, I'm so sorry." I hugged her.
"It's fine Tracey, Joe already knows. I don't want to do this, I have to." I felt so sorry for the girl. She'd already been through so much but I knew that she understood what was best.
DIANNE'S POV~
I walked back into the living room to discover my suitcase, perfectly packed. "Thanks Joe." I smiled weakly. "No problem, now get out there and see your family. You deserve it more than anything. I kissed him on the cheek and walked out before I could regret anything, the twins under my arm.
