Michael's POV

It's only the afternoon and already I feel wiped out. My brothers had to work this afternoon so I had to be up really early to finish decorating the nursery, I had to pick up the last of DJs stuff from the store, went to the hospital to see Him and Ocean and go to school to let them know what's been going on and why neither of us had been in school. They were really understanding about the whole thing and understood why I was dropping out. I haven't told Ocean the part about me dropping out because I know what she's like she'll blame herself and try to convince me to stay. We're gonna have money coming in from my job at the store but I only work weekends so I don't earn that but so I need to drop so I can work full time to support her and DJ.

I'm just about to go into my house when I hear Ocean's mother calling me over. "What do you want?" I ask coldly walking over to her. "I um, well we, we're just wondering how Ocean and the baby is?" She mutters "fine" I shrug "why do you care? You disowned her remember?" She puts her head down and sighs "I know what we did that day was unforgivable but we were just in shock. Could you please let her know we're sorry for what we said that day and that she's welcome home anytime" I frown shaking my head "no I won't tell her! she doesn't want anything to do with any of you. And as for coming home? She's coming home with me! Her and DJ our my family now!" I snap. "DJ? What does it stand for" She asks "yeah our son. And it doesn't matter what it stands for he's nothing to do with you!" I remind her. "We made a mistake, he still are grandson. We'd really like to see them both" I shake my head surprised she's even ask "very forget! Yes you made a mistake and you'll have to learn to live with it. That's your problem not mine!" I snap. I know their feeling remorseful but Ocean's still heartbroken about what they did. I know see wants to see them but I know their just gonna upset her more and she doesn't need them in her life anyway.

Katherine's POV

I feel bad about not going to the hospital as much as I should. Michael thinks I'm still mad at him for what he did with Ocean but I'm not I love Duncan and none of this is his fault. I know I've been hard on him but I am happy for him. He made a family with the girl he loves. It's what I've always wanted.

My thoughts are disturbed when the back door suddenly opens and Emma storms in. "So you don't answer your phone anymore huh? I'm starting to think your avoiding me!" She snaps. "No I wasn't I swear I've just been busy with..."

"With?" She stares. "I'm sorry" I mumble not wanting to tell her about Michael and the baby. "Well you will be if I don't get what I want!" She snaps "why are you doing this?" I sigh "you know why, and if I don't get what I want I will be telling everybody!" She frowns "Your parents already found a really nice boy so why?..." She cuts me off "I don't care who they found. It's not gonna happen! But you know what's gonna happen if you don't do this"

"But why Michael?" I asks fighting the urge to cry "because I want him and I always get what I want" she hisses walking closer to me "but this is my mistake why punish him?" I plead "because I want him! and I will have him" she pauses for a moment "you have till the end of the month" she warns "but..."

"But what? Is there a problem?" I shake my head. I know she'll find out eventually but right now I need her to leave before anyone comes home and finds her here. "There's no problem I just need time" she chuckles slightly under her breath "I've given you enough time, you have until the end of the month to get Michael to marry me or Joseph's gonna know all about your little affair with my dad and that Janet isn't his do you understand!?" She snaps.

I'm about to speak when I hear the front door close. "I'm home" I hear Michael shouts coming towards the kitchen "mother! Are you in...Emma?" He stops looking confused "oh, Emma just came over to um..." I stutter trying to think of and excuse. "I was just in the area and thoughts I'd stop by" she smiles "well I'm glad you did actually" Michael smiles and she looks at him confused "I feel really bad about what I said to you that day. I wanted to apologise but I'd didn't have your number or address"

"Oh, it's ok it's all forgotten about now" Emma smiles at him. He shakes his head and sighs "it wasn't ok for me to do that to you, I wanna make it up to you" he pauses thinking for a moment "how about I take you to lunch or something?" I look at him confused and shocked. Michael says he loves Ocean all the time and is engaged to her. Why is he making arrangements to go for dinner with another woman? "Lunch Sounds good!" Emma smiles "great! I'll give you call and we arrange when we're both free" he smiles happily. Emma writes her number down and hands it to him. "I should probably get going. I look forward to seeing you again" she grins at him.

After she leaves I turn to Michael confused. "Why are you arranging to meet another woman while Your fiancé and son are in the hospital?" I ask confused "like I said I feel bad for what I did, I'm just gonna take her to lunch that's all" he shrugs "so did you tell her the good news about me and Ocean?" He smiles "actually I thought it was best not to" he frowns confused "what we're doing is illegal remember? And Jackie told us we have to be careful. I was about to tell her about Duncan but you walked in" he nods agreeing "yeah we should probably keep the the whole marriage thing just between us. Sorry about interrupting you guys" he sighs looking down "you don't have to apologies" I smile "what are you doing home so early anyway? I thought you'd still be at the hospital"

"I'm going back later. I needed to get some stuff done today. It's a big day tomorrow!" He smiles excitedly. "Are you sure you about this? There's no rush why not wait awhile at least until Ocean's old enough that way at least it will be legal?" He shakes his head "I don't wanna have to wait 2 years. And I'm sure. I'm ready for this honestly. I ready to start my family and I wanna do it properly with my wife and my son!"

"Your sure about this?" I feel awful trying to talk him out of it but this is the only way I can stop Emma from telling the truth about Janet. "I've never been more sure about anything" I smile trying to look happy for him but he can tell something's wrong "aren't you happy for me?" He asks and I can see the hurt in his eyes "of course sweetie" I fake a smile "why don't you go in the living room and I'll fix you up a sandwich?" He nods leaving the room.

When I'm finished making his sandwich I go into the living to give it him but he's fast asleep on the sofa. I put a blanket over him and begin to cry. All of this is my fault, he hasn't done anything wrong but now my innocent baby boy is going to have to have pay because of the mistake I made. I don't want to do this to him and it breaks my heart knowing that if I don't then my whole family will be ripped apart.
