63



To end the date, Fionn drove Dotty home and found Christopher on the driveway with Emma who had a soaking wet sponge in one hand a bucket in another. Dotty laughed at the sight of her parents before turning back to face Fionn.

"Thank you," she smiled brightly at her boyfriend who leaned back in his seat grinning at the girl in the car with him.

"Don't mention it, love, t'was very fun to spend some time out of either of our houses and not on set. We should do it more often."

"Are you asking me out again, Fionnly?" Dotty smirked an eyebrow cocked and her body now facing him now.

Blushing Fionn looked down and started to fiddle with the hem of his raincoat. "If you want to, Dorothy."

Dotty leaned closer, "Well then, yes I do."

Fionn's eyes flickered down at her lips and back to her right grey eyes that watched him lovingly. His hand cupped her cheek and he gently pulled her closer for a tender kiss that still made Dotty feel the same as the first kiss that they shared. Her ears tinted pink as they pulled away both grinning like madmen, staring at each other like they were the only people in the world.

Their blissful silence was short lived as they heard Chris yell at his wife, "DON'T YOU DARE, EM!"

The couple witnessed Emma approaching Christopher poised ready to throw the soggy sponge at him and Chris backing away with his arms stretched out in front of him.

"I swear I am the only mature one in this family!" Dotty exclaimed, "Look at them! What children!"

"Dot, baby, think back to what happened in McDonald's earlier. I don't think you're the mature one." Fionn chuckled, "That's not a bad thing, 'cuz that means we'll always be Toys 'R' Us kids."

"I never wanna grow up! I just want to be a Toys 'R' Us kid! Kid! Kid! Kid!" Dotty sang making Fionn shake his head in amusement at how excited the girl seemed about a toy shop.

There was a knock on the car window and there stood Christopher who was soaked. Fionn pressed the button to open the passenger side window and smiled at his director. "Afternoon." He greeted.

"Hi, athair." Dotty smiled at her father. "Had a swim?"

Christopher rolled his eyes and looked at Fionn, "Are you staying over, mate?"

Fionn looked at Dotty who shrugged, "You can if you want to."

Fionn nodded, "If that's okay, I will."

"Of course it is, son, I wouldn't have asked if it wasn't." Chris smiled, "Just remember Dotty, everyone is staying for a few days, they'll be here for tomorrow afternoon."

"But who will look after the animals?"

"Gregg and Moira are with Xavier and Quinnie." Christopher told her, "Anyway, I'll let you cool kids do whatever whilst I go change out of these sodding clothes that are drenched with car wash water."

Shrivelling up into a ball Dotty groaned as her dad walked away from the car. " We aren't living in the seventies! No one says 'cool kids' any more!" She cried in embarrassment leaving Fionn giggling quietly. "It's not funny!"

"It kind of is, now, do you want to come with me to get some stuff or stay here?" Fionn said starting the car up again.

"Come with you!"

Whilst collecting some things from Fionn's house, including enough clothes for three days. ("Oh no honey! You are staying longer than one night!" "Why?" "Because you are meeting my Irish relatives!") Dotty smirked playfully at him.

To say Fionn was shocked at the idea of meeting more of Dotty's family, was an understatement. He felt as if his heart would over work itself and stop from how fast it was beating.

"You don't have to, I just would love it for you too." Dotty told him.

"Then it is sorted, I'll meet more family of yours on one condition."

"Name it."

"You meet my family before we go back to filming." Fionn proposed.

"Sure."

Now they were back in the car and Fionn had a detour he wanted to take before heading back to the Nolan household.

"Close your eyes, Dotty, I have a surprise." He glanced at the girl who pulled her knees up to her chest and closed her eyes cupping her hands over the top. "You better not be peaking, missy!"

"I'm not."

"Good." Rounding up into the car park, Fionn backed into a space and turned off the engine. "Keep your eyes closed I'll help you out."

Once out of the car, Fionn jogged round to Dotty's side and opened the door taking her hands and carefully guiding her out of the car and towards the building.

"This better not be you leading me to my death." Dotty warned, tripping on her shoe lace which had become undone.

Fionn stopped her and knelt down to tie her lace, "I promise you I'm not." He told her, standing up and taking her hands once more.

Once in front of the entrance he told her to her open her eyes and watch ex her squeal in excitement. "Toys 'R' Us!" She squealed leaping into his arms. "Can we go ride the bikes that are way too small for us?"

"Sure thing."

The couple darted to the isle that had children's bike and Dotty hopped onto a paw patrol bike with stabilisers on the back wheel whilst Fionn rode on a barbie one.

Dotty kept squeaking the little horn that was on the handlebars every time Fionn went past her so that she made him jump and occasionally fall off of the little bike.

In the end, Fionn have up and out his bike back, taking a scooter and chasing after Dotty who had gone onto a different isle. He found the bike but no Dotty.

"Dotty!" He called in the large shop, "Love? Where are you?"

As he scooted up the isle he passed different toys and fortunately for Dotty, he stopped right in front of a pop up house for toddlers.

"BOO!" She jumped out of the house and a loud clash was heard as Fionn fell over and the scooter landed next to him.

"Jesus, Dotty!" The boy cried clutching his chest as he breathed heavily. "Kill me why don't you!"

Giggling Dotty picks duo the scooter and scooted away giddily leaving Fionn laying in the floor laughing to himself.

Once he calmed down he stood up and strolled around the shop knowing he would bump into his girlfriend at some point.

He was down the plush toy isle and spotted a monkey that had a large cheeky smile on its face. For some reason he picked it up and took it to the till, paying for it as well as a five pence bag.

He went to turn around and look for Dotty once more but bumped into someone sending them flying to the ground. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going."

"I guess this was karma for scaring you." Laughed Dotty as Fionn pulled her up.

"Oh. It's you." Fionn Said.

"Jee, thanks, hun, feeling the love right now." Dotty retorted pushing her hair out of her face.

"No, it's- I'm sorry, that came out wrong. Anyway, I was just coming to look for you again. Are you ready to go?" He asked her taking her hand and kissing her knuckles that were red from the impact with the floor.

Dotty nodded, "I got you something." She said as they exited the shop, hand in hand.

"Ooh, what?"

Dotty handed him the bag that he didn't even notice she had and he pulled out a toy dolphin.
"Because you're a dol-Fionn!" She snorted pushing the toy into his face.

"And you're a cheeky monkey!" Fionn replied handing her the monkey, "for you!"

"I love it, thank you!" She said, hugging it. "I'm going to name him Tommy."

"Why?" Fionn furrowed his brows as the girl slipped beside him.

"Because he was given to me by my Tommy." She blushed, kissing his cheek.

"And I'll call my dolphin, Dorothy because she was given to me by my Dorothy."

"We're very cringey aren't we?"

"I wouldn't say cringey, Dotty, I'd say cute."

"Whatever floats your boat, Tommy, pun intended."

"Oh ha ha, very funny, can't you see me crying with laughter. My eyes are streaming!"

"No that's just you crying because you fell on your arse earlier!"

"Hey!"
