A/N: I havenât written for these guys in ages I missed them but anyways enjoy hope you like this.
Visiting Joe on set was a common thing in your relationship from the moment you both knew it was serious. You loved seeing him work and he loved having you around in between takes or during his breaks, it became such a special thing in your relationship that he proposed on one of your visits. He was lucky enough to be shooting on location that day, a beach to be exact, it was also a night shoot, and he took the opportunity during the first break. It wasnât elaborate at all, but you didnât see it coming and were genuinely surprised and, in your eyes, it was the perfect proposal.
However, once you had a baby you knew you had to stop visiting on set as often as you did, he always insisted that your daughter could go and be on set with him that you could stay at his trailer while he was busy, you on the other side didnât feel comfortable with having your baby in an unknown environment surrounded by strangers, it would overwhelm her and you knew that a quiet set and colicky fussy baby wasnât a good combination.
âJust let her grow up a bitâ you told him âI promise you that once I feel sure enough that she wonât be a bother for the crew weâll be there.â
âFineâ he huffed holding the six-month-old baby close to his chest.
Joe was about to start a new production, the first one since he took a break during your pregnancy and first few months of Graceâs life. He didnât want to leave both of you he wasnât ready but how could he ever be ready to leave his little family?
Time passed and your beautiful baby girl was now three, almost four, years old and she hadnât seen her dad at work not once due to the agreement you had with Joe. From day one he was more than ready to have Grace on set with him, but he also knew that you had to be same page as him and, so far, you hadnât changed your mind.
âOkay I gotta goâ he said taking one last bite to his breakfast. He had been casted as John Deacon on the Queen biopic, and you had come with him this time before Grace started preschool.
He kissed you goodbye and kissed his daughterâs head quickly âBye princess.â
âBye daddy!â she replied with a giggle.
An idea crossed your mind, Grace was old enough to understand what being quiet meant and most of the time she was a well-behaved toddler. Yes, she threw tantrums, was an energetic ball hard and it was sometimes hard to keep up with her, but she wasnât anything you couldnât control if the situation needed it plus the most stressful shot of the whole movie had already been done so you wouldnât be making Joe even more nervous.
âYou wanna go see daddy?â you asked her with a smile. Her eyes lit up so quickly and she nodded.
You cleaned up the kitchen and got Grace ready to go. You took one of those set passes that Joe always get you and drove to where they would be shooting.
âOkay baby we have to be really quietâ you told her in a whisper âwe want to keep this a surprise, okay?â
âQuietâ she giggled in the same tone as you with her index finger on her mouth.
They were shooting the first concert they ever had with Freddie as a front man and Deaky as bass player. It was a closed set so you couldnât go in while the neon sign outside said that they were filming.
âAnd cut!â the director yelled âtake a break everybody, Iâll let you know if need another shot.â
On your side the neon sign went off so it meant that you could go inside with your little girl in your arms.
âDo you see whoâs there?â you asked Grace putting her down.
âDaddy!â she giggled running to him. Even with a long wig and 70âs clothing she recognized him. He was a daddyâs girl after all.
âGrace!â Joe exclaimed completely ignoring Ben, who was a having a conversation with him, he quickly picked her daughter up. âWhat are you doing here? Whereâs your momma?â
âI thought she was old enough to visit youâ you answered walking up to him.
âSo, we finally get to meet little Mazzello today?â the blonde man asked. The whole cast had met you but not Grace though they had seen plenty of photos thanks to Joe.
âI-yeah I mean I guessâ Joe was still processing the surprise. This is all he ever wanted a âbring your child to workâ day âthis is Graceâ.
âUncle Rami!â she exclaimed once he saw him.
âWant to stay with Uncle Rami?â Joe asked her to which she agreed.
Joe gave Grace to Rami and let him introduce her to Ben and Gwilym while he talked to you.
âWhy didnât you tell me you were coming?â he asked.
âIf I had, then you wouldnât be surprisedâ you smiled.
âBelieve me Iâm shockedâ he sighed not trying to hide his smile âwhat made you change your mind?â
âI just thought why notâ you shrugged âyouâve wanted her on a set with you for such a long time.â
âI think she likes it hereâ you said when you saw her play with Joeâs costars.
âYeahâ he smiled âafter this scene I have an actual break so we can spend time in my trailer yeah?â
You nodded everyone seemed to be going back to their places, so you had to go fetch Grace.
âSorry gentlemen but I think weâre not needed hereâ you said picking up your girl from Benâs arms.
âPrettyâ she squealed out of nowhere. You werenât sure if it meant Ben or the wigs they were wearing.
âYou think Iâm pretty?â Ben spoke and she nodded making Joe eyes wide. Ben wouldnât let Joe forget this one.
