Robert's POV

I got a text from Ocean on Sunday. To tell me her Michael and Nevaeh were going to be staying at his parents for a week. She didn't go into any details on why, but it's now Tuesday and neither of them have called asking me to help them with money or anything else. They know Frank left some stuff for them here on Saturday and they still haven't came back or called to ask for anyone to bring it and I know they won't get it from anybody else especially with no money, which means they've gone three whole days without using.

Mollie came over today to see how I'm doing and I couldn't wait to tell her. "three days? That great!" She smiles. "I know! Being back with his family is the best thing that could have happened. Their getting back on their feet and they even got and extra day with their son for his birthday today"

"looks like everything's working out for them" Mollie smiles and I can sense a slight annoyance in her tone of voice. "what's wrong? I thought you'd be as happy as me about it" I ask confused. "I am happy! I'm just gonna miss them is all. The three of us have become really close lately" she smiles. "I miss them too. It's been great having my baby sister here, but I know their in a good place and that's the main thing" I smile.

Michael's POV

"I'd rather have the money upfront" I say to Mr Blake my old head teacher. "that's not how it works. You get half now and the rest when I'm done"

"fine, whatever" I sigh rolling my eyes and take the money then go into the cubicle with him. He leans forward to try and kiss me but I move away. "do just do what you have to do" I tell him sternly and he smiles going down to his knees and starts undoing my pants then pulls my boxers down slowly then suddenly to door flies open "whoa whoa, this isn't what it looks like" Mr Blake nervously stutters getting up. "oh really? Because it looked to me like you about to start sucking on mans dick" Ocean smirks. "no, no! I was just..."

"well, let's see what's the school thinks when we show them this shall we?" She smirks playing the video. "no- no we don't have to do all that we can just work this out ourselves. Here, take this and we'll say no more about it" he says handing her $500. "I don't know I'm sure the parents would wanna know what kind man they have running their kids school" I shrug and he turns to me and frowns realising I was in on it. "fine! Here!... this is everything I got" he snaps taking of his Rolex and handing it to me. "I guess we can forget about about it... for now" I smirk. "you two are sick! Even when you were at school I always knew you'd both end up fucked up little junkies!" He snaps. "and we always know you were a sick little pervert" Ocean smirks and he pushes past her storms out of the cubicle. "about fucking time! What the hell took you so long?"

"sorry I really had to pee"

"you couldn't fucking wait!? For a second I thought I was actually gonna have to go through with it!" I snap and she smirks giggling slightly under her breath. "why are you laughing?" I ask confused. "it um.. It's hard to take your seriously while your yelling with your dick hanging out" she chuckles and I roll my eyes giggling slightly under my breath. "c'mon let's go" she smiles pecking my lips and turns to open the door, but I grab her arm stopping her and pull her into me. "well we're hear now.. And technically been paid for a service" I smirk kissing her deeply and she kisses me back the same way as I lift her up, wrapping her legs around me pushing her into the nearest wall.

We get back to the house and as he has done for the past two days. Joseph is standing waiting for us. "you two took your time"

"the line in the toy store was really long" Ocean shrugs. "open your pockets" he says sternly and checks us to make sure we haven't got any kind of drugs. "do we really have to do this every time we walk through the door?" I sigh as he checks my pockets and once again finds nothing. "like I said before if you have nothing to hide then it shouldn't be a problem" he shrugs. "told you" I say cockily and he takes his hands out of my pocket once again finding nothing. "well you both need to go get ready. Your meant to be seeing your son in and hour he mumbles. "and you should have got his birthday presents days ago. Not the morning of his birthday" he says sternly and we head upstairs to get ready and wrap all his presents up.

Ocean's POV

After finishing getting ready we head downstairs to get Nevaeh for our visit with DJ. "you ready to go see the birthday boy!?" I smile picking Nevaeh up and Kathrine looks at us with a disappointed look. "what's happened?" Michael asks and she sighs. "Abby just called. Duncan has a stomach bug. So Jessica's cancelled the visit for today"

"but it's his birthday! She can't just cancel at the last minute like that!" I snap. "she said you can have and extra visit next week to make up for it and..."

"And nothing! He's our son and it's his birthday. We wanna see him today!" Michael snaps and we start heading for the door and Joseph cuts us off. "you can just go storming over there"

"watch us!" I snap at him opening the door and he puts his hand on it stopping me. "I'm not happy about this either. We were looking forwards to to him too, but if you go round yelling and causing a scene your just gonna end up getting your visits taken away again. They said you can have an extra visit next week and you will! I'll make sure of that. As much as it pisses you both off Jessica messing you both around like this. If you want any chance of getting him back then you have to bite your tongue and go along with it.

Mollie's POV

"so they just cancelled on you like that?" I say softly to Ocean and Michael. "we were literally on our way out the door and Abby called and said DJ was sick" Michael mumbles visably upset. "that's awful! And to do that to you both on his birthday!"

"they said we can celebrate it next week, but it's not same. We had the whole day planned and everything" Ocean cuts in "they would have known he was sick this morning why didn't they call you then?" I ask and Michael shrugs. "because she knows she can and she's knows there's nothing we can do about it"

"and how are you both doing with your parents? Is your dad still giving you a hard time?"

"he waits by the door everytime we leave and checks us when we get back" Ocean frowns. "so how you sneaking it past him?"

"he only checks our pockets so we put it in our underwear then hide it under the mattress"

"well you'll be back home soon and all this will be over and I'll meet you both here again tomorrow with some more" I smile reassuring them. "thanks again for coming all the way down here" Ocean smiles. "it's fine. I'm not gonna let you two suffer and go a whole week without anything. We're friends remember? And that's what friends do... We help each other. I know you'd both help me if I needed help"

"of course we would" Michael smiles.

Michael's POV

"so do you think your mom was lying?" I ask Ocean while we're sitting on the bed and she shrugs "I don't know. If Abby called then maybe he really is sick, but I don't get why she'd wait until the last.... Ouch!!" She jumps moving away. "Sssh! Someone's gonna hear you" I whisper "you just cut me with the needle,how do you expect me to react!?"

"I expect you to stay still while I do it. now don't move" I tell her taking her arm again. "I'm sorry, I'll be more carful" I say softly pecking her lips. "I'm sorry about earlier with the whole Mr Blake thing" she mumbles. "it's fine" I shrug "can you believe that pervert was the same guy who gave us detention for making out?" I chuckle slightly. "I thought my dad was gonna murder me when I got home" Ocean giggles. "I wouldn't let happened" I smile leaning over to kiss her. I'm about to break away and she wraps her arms around me pulling back. I lead her down onto the bed positioning myself on top of her. "do you need me, baby?" I smirk "mhm" she mumbles into my mouth undoing my pants.

Just as I'm about to enter her the bedroom door knocks and someone tries to open it. "Michael, unlock this door right now!" we hear Joseph say sternly. "just a second" I yell back and we quickly get up hiding everything. "now!" He snaps.

"hey! What's up?" I smile innocently opening the door "why do you have the door locked?" He frowns looking around the room. "no reason" I shrug. "your mother thought it might be nice to go out for dinner tonight, to celebrate DJs birthday"

"what's the point? DJs not even here" Ocean mumbles. "I know, but that doesn't mean we can't still celebrate his birthday" he smile through pursed lips. "we're really not in a celebrating mood" I tell him and he sighs sympathetically. "I know it's hard not having DJ around, but locking yourselves away isn't gonna help. You have Nevaeh to think of too and how's she gonna feel seeing her parents upset and depressed all the time?"

"Nevaeh's fine. She's always happy" I tell him honestly. "maybe right now, but you both need to get yourselves together for her and DJ"

"and we are" Ocean cuts in. "good! Well your mothers booked the table for 8pm so hurry up and get ready" he smiles and we both nod.

When he goes I lock the door behind him. "you ok?" I turn to Ocean, pulling her into me. "no" she croaks. "why does my mother hate me so much? Am I really that bad of a person?" She sobs and I pull her in closer. "your an amazing person! She's the problem not you and once we get him back we'll never have to see her again. And it'll be just me, you and our kids. Nobody else" I reassure her.
