Ocean's POV

"I knew it!"Aisha says proudly to the TV. "knew what?" I asks sitting beside her. On the sofa. "This bitch on Jerry Springer. Their doing lie detector/DNA special today and so far I got everyone right!" She smiles proudly. "That's great" I smile through pursed lips not really paying attention to the show. "You know I can never understand why people lie to the partners and hide things. I mean they say they love them but obviously they don't if their gonna lie to their faces like that you know?"

"Maybe they don't wanna hurt them with the truth?" I shrug. "Uh, uh. Lying is waay worst, plus the truth always comes out in the end You of all people should know that by now"

"W-what do you mean?" I stutter. "You and Michael" she smiles "you guys didn't tell anybody you were pregnant and looked what happened? The truth came out eventually"

"That was different. We didn't lie we just... Didn't tell anybody" I shrug. "Yeah but then you got found out"

"But that was always gonna happen. obviously Jermaine was gonna notice a baby in the house" I roll my eyes "well all I'm saying is. The truth always comes out in the end so that's why people should always be honest. Hiding things only ever makes things worse" I don't say anything after that, knowing that for once Aisha's actually right! If Michael was to ever lie or hide things from me, even if he did it so I wouldn't  be he hurt. The fact that he lied to me would brake my heart even more.

Michael's POV

After getting ready for work, I head downstairs and Ocean already has breakfast on the table and Nevaeh is in her high chair "How's my two beautiful women doing?" I smile, kissing Nevaeh's temple then I turn and peck Ocean's lips and join her at the table. "So what do you two have planned for today?" I smile "nothing much" Ocean shrugs and I can sense somethings wrong. "What's wrong?" I ask and She doesn't say anything at first then takes a deep breath. "I need to speak to you about something"

"Sure! What's up?" She's about to speak when Jermaine walks in. "Shouldn't you be at work by now?"

"Not for another two hours"

"We'll make sure your on time today. The boss is still pissed at you for being late yesterday" he says sternly then leaves. "Sorry baby, you wanted to talk to me about something?" I turn back to Ocean. "It doesn't matter" she smile through pursed lips. "Baby, if there's something bothering you..."

"Do you mind if we don't go to Randy's friends party tonight?"

"Is this about?" I ask in a hush voice incase Jermaine or Aisha hear us. "You don't have to feel about about what we did. So we took some pills one time at a party... It's not like we're doing everyday, but if that's what your worried about then we won't go, it's fine. And stop worrying nobody's gonna find out about it" I smile placing my hand on hers.

Ocean's POV

Once everybody's left the house I put Nevaeh upstairs in her crib and go back down to watch TV. As I'm lay on the sofa I start falling asleep when I hear someone knocking. I turn the TV up to drowned whoever it is out and then there's a tapping on the window and I look and see Randy. "C'mon open up"

"What are you doing here?" I ask nervously opening the door slightly "I was in the area seeing some friends and thought I'd stop by" he says pushing the door slightly inviting himself in. "Y-you can't be here you have to leave" I stutter. "Michael not home yet?" He asks sitting on sofa ignoring what I just said. "No, and you have to..." I begin to say but I'm cut off when Nevaeh starts crying. "DJs here!?" He smiles and heads for the stairs "don't go up there!" I snap.

"I just wanna say hi to my nephew" he shrugs making his way up. I'm about to follow after him when Michael walks in.

Michael's POV

I get home and Ocean is at the bottom of the stairs panicking. "Baby, what's happened? Are you ok?" I ask rushing over to her. "I told him not to and he had to go but he wouldn't listen he just pushed his way in a-an..."

"Who? Has some someone done something to you!?" I ask shakily seeing the panic on her face. "Um... Who's this?" I hear Randy and look up and see him walking downstairs with Nevaeh. "I told him not to go up there. He wouldn't listen" Ocean shakes her head. "What are you doing here?" I turn and ask Randy ignoring his question. "I was in the area and thought I'd stop by... Did you two have another baby?" He looks at me confused. "No!" Ocean says quickly and he looks at us skeptically. "When did you guys have another baby?" He asks ignoring Ocean. "About two months ago" I sigh knowing theirs no point trying to lie. "But you can't say anything.. Not yet" I tell him sternly. "Why wouldn't you tell anybody you have another kid?" He looks at me confused. "It's complicated. But will please keep this to yourself.. For now at least?" I ask and he nods.

After sitting down explaining everything that's been going on and why we didn't want our parents to find out Randy was really understanding. "I swear I won't say anything.. But you'll have to tell them sooner or later, what if it had been mother who turned up today and not me?"

"We will tell them once we're ready and mother hates me. She's not gonna just turn up "she doesn't hate you" he rolls his eyes. "She's just hurt about all the stuff that's happened and you know? What you did to Ocean" he mumbles that last part. Then turns to Ocean who has been silent the whole time. "Sorry I did mean to upset..."

"It's fine" she cuts him of and smiles through pursed lips. "We've moved on from all that"

"So... Does she have a name?" He asks changing the subject. "Nevaeh, Star" I smile proudly, cradling her in my arms. "Cute name" he smiles at her. "I won't say anything but you guys will have to tell everybody soon. They'll find out eventually"

"Yeah we know.. And we will. Just not yet we just need to find the right time and words"

"Just tell them everything you told me" he shrugs. "It's better to just be honest and come right out with it. They'll come round. They did with DJ" I'm about to speak when Ocean gets up and takes Nevaeh from me and heads upstairs without a word. "I should probably get going" Randy says sensing the tension.

After Randy leaves I go upstairs to find out what's wrong with Ocean. I got to the bedroom and Nevaeh's clothes are laid out on the bed so I go to the bathroom and Ocean's running her bath. "Are you ok?" I ask softy walking over to her. "Mhm... I forgot to give her a bath this morning, so I'm doing it now" she mumbles "baby, he's not gonna tell anyone, it's ok" I reassure her. She doesn't say anything then starts crying. "Why you getting upset? I told you it's gonna be ok" I say softly putting my arms around her "it's not ok" she sobs and moves away from me. "Why don't I give Nevaeh her bath and give you a break for awhile" I suggest seeing how stressed she looks and she shakes her head and moves more away from me as I'm about to take Nevaeh "N-no. You can't" she stutters and I look at her confused. "Why don't you want me to hold her?"

"I'm so sorry" she croaks "you can't have her"

"Ocean, what do you mean I can't have her? And what do you keep apologising for?" I ask getting even more confused. "I see how you are with Nevaeh and I can see it in your eyes every time you look at her. I can see how much you love her and..."

"Your upset because I love Nevaeh? Is that what all this is about? You feel like I'm not giving you enough attention or something?... Because if it..."

"Of course not" she cuts me off. "Your amazing with her and you love her like all daddy's should love their baby girls, but you can't have her" she sobs. "Nevaeh's not your baby girl... I'm so sorry.
