Ocean's POV

It's only been a week but things have been OK between me and Michael. He's kept his promise to me about getting help and he really is trying. My first session with my counsellor is tonight and I've been pretty nervous about it all day. "Ocean! Wake up! It doesn't take long to fold clothes!" Katherine snaps bringing me from my thoughts "huh? Oh sorry" I mumble and continue folding the laundry. She tuts and shakes her head "honestly, how can you expect to be a good wife to Michael if you can't even be bothered to wash his clothes" she rolls her eyes "we have to start on dinner soon before everyone gets home" she mutters walking off. I don't know why Katherine is like this. She's been like this since I moved in. I get that she doesn't like the fact Michael and I got married and had DJ so young but she really needs to get over it already.

After dinner I'm in the bathroom getting for my session and Michael comes in and starts running the bath. "I'm gonna bathe DJ get him settled down for the night" he smiles and I smile back at him still looking in the mirror "are you ok?" He asks sitting on the edge of the bath "a little nervous" I confess "I'm kinda nervous about mine on Wednesday" he walks over wrapping his arms around my waist and rest his head on my shoulder "are you sure you'll be ok alone with DJ? Because I can always..." He cuts me off "baby, he's gonna be fine. I'll call of there's a problem" he smiles "promise?"

"Mhm" he mumble kissing my neck softly "w-where's DJ?" I stutter "I put him on the bed while I run his bath" he continues kissing my neck and I feel his hands slowly caressing there way down from my waist. "I wanna give him a cuddle before I leave" I say quickly and he stops and looks at me for a moment then realises. "ok" he says softly moving back from me slightly.

As we're walking out of the bathroom Katherine comes walking out of our room carrying DJ. "Are you that stupid!" She snaps at us "you can't leave a baby alone on a bed anything could have happened!"

"I was only gone a second while I running his bath" Michael shrugs not seeing the big deal "really?" Katherine says looking at us skeptically "that's all it takes!" She frowns. I walk over to take him from her "sorry we didn't think" I mumble "that's the problem you's never do" she snaps walking off downstairs with DJ. "Maybe I should stay.  I'll call and reschedule or something" I turn to Michael and he shakes his head "no, you need this. Just like I need my sessions"

"But..." He cuts me off putting his hands on my shoulders "you go, I'll go talk to her" he kisses me on my forehead and smiles through pursed lips.and I can see he's annoyed about what his mother just did.

Michael's POV

Once Ocean leaves I go look for my mother and she's in the living room on the couch with DJ. "What are you doing?" She looks at me confused "I WAS about to feed YOUR son" I shake my head "that's not what I'm talking. Why did you take DJ off Ocean like that? She just wanted a cuddle before she left" she rolls her eyes "exactly! Before she left!" She frowns "she should be here with you taking care for your child not going out for the night, did she even tell you were she was going?" I sit down next to her taking DJ "Like I said she's going out alone on Thursdays  , I am Wednesdays and we're going out together on Mondays" she looks at me confused "I understand you both going out together but. Why are you both going out alone" I sigh shaking my head "I'd rather not say. But trust me this is something we need to do" we haven't told anybody about are therapy sessions because we really don't my family getting involved in this. It's between me and Ocean and we plan on keeping in that way. "But why can't you just.." I cut her off shaking my head "because I just can't. I'm gonna go finish giving him a bath" I get up to leave the room "I can bathe him. I don't want you struggling"

"Mother, appreciate you helping we both do but..DJs our son and you have to let us be the parents" she nods and smiles through pursed lips. I can see she's feeling hurt by what I said and I do feel bad seeing her like that. But Ocean's DJs mother and she has to start letting her be his mother.

Ocean's POV

"Does he hit you or say anything while he's doing this to you?" Sofia my therapist asks "he talks to me....he used to put his hand over my mouth but not anymore"

"And what does he say?" I pause for a moment trying not to cry "he says he loves me and he needs me, then he starts crying" I croak "he says this after?" I shake my head "during" I mumble "is that why you stay? Because he's upset?" I shake my head "I stay because I love him and I need him too" after fighting for so long I eventually burst into tears.

***********

After my therapy session I go straight home. I'm not quite sure how I feel right now. In away I'm relieved I got talk about everything. DJ, my family, Michael... But apart of me feels guilty about some of the things I said about Michael. Most people would probably tell me I'm stupid to stay and that I should have left him the second he first put his hands on me. But they don't know him, or me. He really is trying and I can see that. If I'd have left from the start we wouldn't have DJ right now. If it wasn't for Michael standing up to my parents they would have managed to bully me into giving him up. In Fact if Michael hadn't done what he did to me that night DJ wouldn't even be here at all. Sofia must of thought I was crazy when I told her this. But she doesn't understand just like most people wouldn't.

I get home and go straight to DJs room but he's not in his crib then I hear Michael in the next room and I  stand at the door listening to him talking to DJ.

"Mommy's gonna be home soon, and I bet the first thing she'll wanna do is see you. Because just like me she loves you so much and between me and you" he whispers "I think your her favourite" I giggle and he quickly turns round "hey your back!" He smiles "mhm... And you were right" he looks at me confused "that the first thing I'd wanna do?" I giggle "you heard that?" He giggles. I lay on the bed next to DJ so he's between Michael and I and kiss his forehead "was he ok?" He nods smiling "how did it go?" I go purse my lips and go silent for a moment not wanting to go into detail about what I said "it was great" I smile "It really helped"

"I told you" he smiles back and leans over and pecks my lips. "What is the matter with you two!" We turn confused as Katherine storms over "there is a child on the bed and you two are..." She frown shaking her head and picks up DJ from between us "but we weren't doing anything" I say confused "I know what I saw" she snaps "it was just a kiss" Michael frowns  not seeing the problem. "I don't want to hear the details" she shakes her head and leaves the room with DJ.

Michael gets up and goes to follow her "just let it go" I sigh grabbing his arm "no! Fuck that!" He storms downstairs and I follow "What the fuck!?" He snaps "Michael! Watch your mouth in front of the baby" Katherine snaps back "OUR FUCKING BABY!!" He yells "you can't just come up and take him like that!" She's about to speak when Janet walks in crying "don't cry sweetie. Michael's just a little upset that's all. You just go back to bed" Katherine soothes her and Michael storms upstairs.

Katherine's POV

I go upstairs and Ocean follows. I can hear crashing and banging coming from the bathroom. When I open the door Michael is throwing and punching pretty much everything in sight. "Thats enough with the tantrum! Look what you've done!" I yell. He ignores me and carries on throwing things. Ocean walks in and puts her arms around him "please calm down. Your scaring DJ" she says softly. He puts his arms around her and starts calming down. "Michael, Your bleeding" I say noticing his hand "Ocean go get the first aid box" she slowly gets up and starts making her way out of the bathroom "hurry up. Your husbands bleeding over here" I yell to Ocean. Michael gets up grabbing DJ from me and starts following Ocean.

I follow him downstairs and he's put Duncan on the sofa while Ocean is taking care of Michael's hand. "Now look! You've got blood all over the babies clothes" I snap picking him up "and you can't just leave him on a sofa like that" Ocean finishes dressing his hand and Michael charges over "and you need to stay out of my fucking business!!" he snaps "Michael, please..." Ocean says coming over

"What!!!?" He turns screaming and she jumps. "I'm sorry I..." He softly says but Ocean runs off and Michael chases after her.

Michael's POV

I follow after Ocean and she's lay on the bed crying slightly with her back to me. "I wasn't mad at you" I explain softly laying next to her. "I didn't mean to scare you like that" I tell her honestly putting my arm around her waist. She doesn't answer me so I turn her over so she's facing me, wiping the tears from her cheeks "I'm sorry" I say softly and peck her lips then going deeper.

I start on her neck kissing my way down "wait" she whispers nervously as I start taking off  her pants along with her panties "just relax" I whisper back and start making my way back up. "Michael, I don't...ahh fuck!" She moans loudly as I start working my tongue on her clit. I moan savouring the sweet taste of her juices. Her moans get louder and more intense and she starts quivering as keep going, getting all her right spots. "Mmich... I-I'm....Oh fuck!!!I'm gonna....Mmm" I go back up and she wraps her hands around my neck dragging down to her kissing me deeply moaning into my mouth while I continue thrusting my finger inside her going faster and deeper. She starts tensing up and trembling then screams my name. I smile onto her lips feeling her squirt on my hand.

She lays breathlessly on the bed and I lay beside her kissing her softly. "Did you enjoy that baby?" I whisper smiling  on her lips "y-ye" she takes a deep breath trying to talk "wow" she finally manages. I kiss her again smiling proudly of myself onto her lips
