Michael's POV

It's been a few days and we still haven't told our parents. We thought it was best to wait a few days and let everybody get over the little meltdown I had when the Morrison's came over. personally I don't think I was in the wrong on that one and neither does Ocean but they were still pretty pissed at me.

I have mixed feelings about today because today's THE DAY! I'm really excited because Ocean and I are gonna tell our families about the baby, we hate lying to them and keeping it from them for this long has been hard especially for Ocean lucky she hasn't got that fat so she's been able to hide it, but the baby's gonna be here soon so their gonna find out soon anyway. Even though I'm excited about us telling them I'm also terrified about it because I know neither of our parent are gonna take this news well and I have a feeling either Ocean's dad or mine are gonna try kill me once all this is out.

I'm about to get ready for school and I get a text

:From Ocean
Meet me at the bus stop near the grocery store in 5min X

I look out of my window and see Ocean making her way off our street. I wait until she's turned the corner then follow after her.

*
When I get to the bus stop I see Ocean waiting for me looking really upset. "What's going on? Are you ok?" I ask. I look around to check their's nobody we know around then pull her into me. "I have to go away for awhile" she mumbles breaking away from our embrace "what!? Why!?"

"It's my uncle, he had a stroke yesterday and my parents told the doctors we'd fly over there to take care of him for awhile" I look at her confused "fly where? We were supposed to be telling everybody about the baby today"

"Ireland, and we'll have to just wait a little longer until I get back. We can't exactly tell them today. My fathers just found out he's brother had a stroke"

"Ireland!? For long exactly?"  She looks down at the ground looking like she's about to cry "I don't know, just until we can find him a suitable carer a week maybe two, But we have to leave for the airport this in and hour" I sigh pulling her close to me "we've hid it this long I guess another week won't hurt, but we'll have to tell them as soon as you get back" I smile through pursed lips and she smiles back the same way "wait! Your almost 7 months pregnant are you even allowed to fly?" I ask a little worried "I think so, I'm hardly gonna go into labour while on the plane am I?" She giggles "that's true" I giggle back "I'm gonna have to go soon, my dad thinks I only went out to get milk"

"text me when you get there ok?"

"I promise" she smiles. She about to go into the store and I pull her back "I'm gonna miss you" I smile stroking a stray hair away from her face "I'll miss you to" she smiles back and I pull her in close to me and kiss her deep and passionately goodbye before she leaves.

I got from school still bummed out about Ocean going away. I do feel bad about what's happened to her uncle but I just wish she didn't have to go. When I got home Marlon came straight towards me with his arms open "hey baby bro!" smiles pulling me into him "what are you doing here?" I smile for the first time today. I haven't seen Marlon since what happened that day Ocean and I went to visit hi lm, so I was really happy to see him. "I come to visit you guys for a few days! Ocean not with you?" He asks curiously "um, Ocean doesn't come over here any more" he frowns confused "why?" I'm about to tell him and my mother cuts me off "because their banned from talking to each other that's why" she says sternly then turns to Marlon and smiles "dinner will be ready soon" she goes into the kitchen leaving Me and Marlon alone "what happened?"

"Um, our mothers kinda caught us" I mumble awkwardly. He's about to speak when Janet comes running over "Marlon!!" She squeals excitedly "hey dunk" Marlon smiles giving her a hug "so, anything else I've missed?" Marlon asks turning back to me. "Nothing" I shake my head "Michael yelled at a lady because he didn't want to marry her and then he yelled at mother and Joseph!" Janet tells him and Marlon looks at me raising and eyebrow and I just shake my head "I'll tell you all about after dinner"

***

After dinner I go to my room and call Ocean. She got there safe but she's really upset about her uncle. She's talked about him to me a few times and the way she always described him as this happy go lucky guy, always the life and souls of the party type. And now he can barley speak, he needs help eating, he can't even go to the bathroom by himself and I know this is killing her seeing him like that.

When I get off the phone Marlon comes in closing the door behind him "so I spoke to mother and she told me what happened" I go over and sit next to him "which part? The part about me and Ocean or the part about her trying to set me up with an arranged marriage?"

"Both, plus the part about you going crazy during dinner" he chuckles slightly under his breath "I'm sorry about you and Ocean I know how much you loved her"

"I'm fine" I mumble looking at the ground."you can't see the girl you love anymore and your fine?" He looks at me skeptically. "Mhm" I nod "your still seeing her aren't you?" He smirks seeing straight through my lie "you can't say anything!" I say looking up at him "I swear but, you better be careful nobody finds out this time it only takes one slip up as you already know" he smiles through pursed lips. "Little late for that" I mumble under my breath "how do you mean?"

"You have to swear to me this doesn't go any further" he frowns confused "I just told you I wouldn't say anything"

"Not about us still seeing each other" I shake my head "then what is it?" I take a deep breath and sigh "what is it?" He asks again "Ocean's pregnant" I quickly blurt out. He doesn't say anything but looks at me shocked as I continue "I know we should have told everybody straight away and we wanted to but every time we tried something always got in the way and the longer it went on the harder it got. We decided it would be best to just tell everybody together, we were gonna do it today actually but she found out her uncle had a stroke an had to go to Ireland to help and..." He cuts me off "wait! When you say the longer it went on? Exactly how far is she?"

"We're not actually sure her dads a doctor and her aunt work at the hospital so we couldn't go because we didn't want them to find out"

"Roughly how far?" He frowns still trying to take in the news "about 7 months" he shakes his head at me "and she hasn't seen anybody? What if there's a problem with the baby? And she can't fly if she's that far along" he snaps "well the baby's moving and kick and she hasn't had any bleeding, the baby's fine" I shrug "that your aware off! I don't get it She's 7 months pregnant and nobody's noticed?" I shake my head "she's been wearing baggy clothes and stuff plus she's not actually that big"

"Which could be a problem, and how long do you expect to keep this a secret? Don't you think people are gonna wonder why a baby has just randomly turned up!?"

"We were gonna tell them today but like I said she had to go away for awhile" I explain once again "for how long?"

"About a week maybe two" he shakes his head "your gonna have to tell mother and Joseph"

"And I will when Ocean gets back. Please Marlon, don't say anything" he sighs and puts his hand on my shoulder "I swore to you i wouldn't remember? But you guys are gonna have to do it soon" he warns me "and we will"

"Make sure you do, if you you two leave it any later she'll be giving birth when you tell them anything else I don't know about?"

"Um, right before we banned from seeing each other I kinda proposed to her"

"So your both engaged and about to have a baby?"

"Yup, and nobody knows about either of them" he chuckles slightly under his breath "this is crazy"
