Double-crossed
Jessica's POV
I didn't get much sleep last night and around 6:30am I decided to do a little spring cleaning, not only to prepare for Duncan and Nevaeh coming, but also as a kind of thank you to Mollie for letting me stay and for helping me.
I've just finished vacuuming in living room and Mollie comes in "hey, what are you doing up so early?" Mollie smiles. "I couldn't sleep with. My head is going crazy with all of this"
"well just try to relax. You'll have them with you soon enough" she tries to calm me. "I hope so" I sigh leaving the room. After putting the vacuum away I walk over to the basement door, which as always is locked because of the mouse problem Mollie has had in the past. I put my ear near the door to see if I can hear anything and Mollie comes rushing over out of nowhere. "what are you doing!" She snaps coming over. "I was just seeing if I could hear any scurrying, have you checked to see if the mice are still there?" I ask confused by here reaction. "yes! I check yesterday. It's full of them huge one's!Just come away. I don't want them getting out" she says and I quickly move from the door, freaked out by the thought. "how about I drive you over to Ocean and Michael's place to see if their back yet"
"that'll be great! Plus if their not hone yet, I can always ask their neighbours if they've heard anything" I smile and head upstairs to get ready, praying they still have Duncan and Nevaeh.

Mollie's POV
"wow! This is fancy!" I smile as we park up outside Michael and Ocean's house. "there cars not here, so they mustn't be home yet. Looks like I'm going to have to sit and wait" Jessica sighs. "well I have alot of things to do, but as soon as their home or your hear anything call me ok?" I smile and she nods.
When I drive off leaving Jessica to sit around, I call Frank and let him know. "guess who I finally found?" I practically sing excitedly down the phone. "really!?"
"yup, just dropped that dumb mother of Oceans off outside on their house" I smirk. "they wasn't home so I told her to call as soon as they were"
"she still think your helping her get those kids?" He chuckles. "yup! She actually think's I'm gonna help her get them and their all gonna live with me and live happily ever after with her as their mother. She's such a gullible fucking idiot" I chuckle. "well I'm gonna call my boys and let them know I have a job for them tonight. Call me as soon as you want us to do it"

Ocean's POV
"what about this one?" I turn to Michael "sure" he shrugs "you weren't even looking! this is really important. We only have two weeks left" I frown. "no our wedding is important not what colour the table clothes with be" he says pecking my lips. "and I actually do like them" he smiles through pursed lips. And I sigh feeling myself getting emotional "I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to upset you. I'll look properly" Michael says softly. "it's not that" croak "then what's wrong?"
"i'll be six months on the day. what if I look fat?"
"you'll be fine. And your barley even showing. You never do"
"but what of people notice? It'll ruin the surprise when she's born"
"about that.. I kinda told my mom. But she hasn't said anything" he shakes his head. "so that's why she keeps talking about names she likes" I roll my eyes. "we already have a name. 'Princess Ocean' remember?" Michael smiles excitedly. "and the next will be 'Prince Michael'" I smile back pecking his lips. "but what if we have another girl?" He points out. "then we'll have to keep trying until we have another boy" I shrug.
"have you two still not decided!?" LaToya says in an annoyed tone walking into the room. "there's only two week left! This should have been done by now!"
"isn't Ocean the one who's supposed to go all crazy and bridezilla?" Michael chuckles. "i'm maid of honour and it's My job to make sure everything goes smoothly and I can't do that of you two are still deciding on table clothes" she rolls her eyes walking out of the room. "when did you say Toya could be maid of honour?" Michael turns to me confused. "I didn't! she appointed herself as maid of honour the day we got engaged" I giggle slightly. "well I chose something myself" he smiles "and what's that?" I smile back at him. "our wedding song" he says excitedly taking out his iPod. "and it wasn't just a quick decision either. I thought really hard and picked a song that fits us and our lives together perfectly" he smiles placing his hand on my stomach then hands me the earphone. "Michael, this is perfect!" I sigh contently and lean forward kissing him softly.

Jessica's POV
I've been looking around all day and even spoken to the neighbours, but nobody has seen or heard from Michael or Ocean since yesterday. It's now 7:30pm and I finally see their car pulling up in the street and I hide around the corner so they don't see me and watch as the each carry one of the children inside and they look like they've both fallen asleep. I smile to myself thanking God protective services didn't take them away and hand them to another family and call Mollie and let her know.
"they just got home and they still have Duncan and Nevaeh!" I tell her excitedly. "that's great! and you remember what I told you right?" She says in a serious tone. "yes" I sigh nervously. "Jessica, it has to be done if you wanna get inside. You know their not going to just let you in"
"I know" I sigh again taking a deep breath. "I'll come over at 11pm so you have three and half hours. You can do this" she encourages me "i'll see you and your babies then"
"we'll see you soon!" smile excitedly and I end the call.
I stand around for a few more minutes to give them time to put the children to bed and to prepare myself. I look around for something I can use and eventually find a large rock and take a deep breath and brace myself.

Michael's POV
After putting DJ and Veah in bed, Ocean and I are just about to settle down on the sofa to watch a movie and there's a loud hysterical knocking at the door and I quickly rush to answer it before the kids wake up.
"what the fuck!!?" I gasp seeing Jessica sobbing at the door and her head is busted wide open. "please don't slam the door in my face again" she says shakily. "I was just walking an- and somebody attacked me and s-stole my bag... please help me. She sobs.
*****
We let Jessica come inside and helped her clean up and called the police, but they said because she didn't see their faces their wasn't anything they could do, but they'll keep a look out and let us know of they find anything.
"I'm sorry. I know you told me never to come back. But I didn't know where to go and..."
"it's fine" Ocean sighs just as annoyed with her presence and me. "where are you staying? I'll drive you back" I say picking up my car keys. "I was on my way to check the homeless shelter on the other side of town. I went to the one closer, but... They had no room" she mumbles. "you can stay tonight, but I'm kicking you out first thing. I'll call Robert in the morning and see if you can stay with him until you find somewhere permanent" I sigh. "thank you" she says nervously, still shaken frim the mugging.

Jessica's POV
It's 10:45 and Ocean and Michael have been upstairs for the past 20 minutes so I quietly tiptoe upstairs to check their definitely asleep. Normally the dogs are sleeping in the hall, but luckily this time their not and I put my head around Ocean and Michael's bedroom door which is open to check their definitely asleep and they are and the two dogs are sleeping at the end of their bed. I smile to myself knowing how easy it's going to be to take Duncan and Nevaeh now both the dogs and Michael and Ocean are all in the same room. I'm about to close the door and Michael stirs slightly turning over. 'no!' I sigh seeing Michael and Ocean are cuddled up with both Duncan and Nevaeh.
I go back downstairs to call Mollie and let her know what's happened, but she doesn't pick up and I keep calling then look up and see it's now 11pm. 'fuck!' I say to myself knowing Mollie will be here any second.
There's a light tap at the door and I rush over quickly, turning the alarms off and open the door. "I've been trying to call. We can't do it tonight. Michael and Ocean are asleep, but..."
"perfect!" she cuts me off "no... we can't take Duncan and Nevaeh tonight their..."
"I don't give a fuck about them little brats!" She cuts me off "c'mon" she calls back to somone and about 8 or so large men push their way inside. "w-what going on?" I stutter confused and nervous. "their upstairs" she signals to the men and they all shove past me knocking me to the ground and head for the stairs.
