Default Flower questions

I have a dwarf Cavendish that is flowering right now it appears to have two flower heads but they didn't develop a much of a stem.
I've included pictures.

Any ideas. Should I cut off the closest two leaves? Will it still develop and ripen. Also worried about the winter onset. What happens if temps drop too much before the fruit ripens. Will they continue ripening in the spring if I can keep them from freezing? I'm in Tallahassee, zone 8b
