Moving day
Michael's POV
I'm sitting in the living room feeding Nevaeh a bottle and Ocean walks in and sits beside me. "hey, sleepy head" I smile pecking her lips. "why didn't you wake me?" she smiles watching me feed Nevaeh. "I don't mind getting her ready in the morning. Plus thought you could do with the rest" I smile pecking her lips again. "did you give her baby porridge first?"
"yup! And you ate it all up, didn't you?" I coo at Nevaeh. "did you remember to make in thin because..."
"I know. We've had two kids remember?" I chuckle cutting her off. "so what do you wanna do today?" She smiles. I'm about to speak with mother comes in. "I wouldn't make plans. You two have a busy day today"
"with what?" I look at her confused. "moving! I need you need help us today the moving van will be here at 11" she smiles. "but, we have Nevaeh. We can't take care of her and move boxes" I point out. "Michael, your father and I managed to move to this house with eight children! Your helping" she says sternly. "I thought you guys weren't moving for another three days?" Ocean cuts in. "we were. But we figured, since we let you two have your little christening thing here and you'd be staying over. We could move today while your here to help" she smiles then walks off talking to her self, making a list of things she needs to do. "can you believe my mother got us here under false pretense?" I chuckle slightly at Ocean.
"Janet! How many times!?" We hear my mother snap and see Janet opening some of the boxes mother just brought downstairs. "I'm just looking for my toys. I wanna play" Janet whines. My mothers about to speak, but I quickly cut in. "why don't Ocean and I take Janet out for the day?" I suggest and she shakes her head. "I need you both here to help"
"but if we take Janet and Nevaeh out you won't have two kids getting under your feet all day" I point out. "our you sure?" She asks and I nod. "sure! If you want I'm sure Jermaine won't mind letting her stay over for a few days so you guys can settle in and get the place straight" she smiles through pursed lips and sighs contently. "thank you"

Aisha's POV
I'm getting dressed and I get a call from Michael. "hey baby! You spoke to her already?" I smile down the phone. "not yet. Um.. There's kind of a problem my parents are moving today and I've been dragged into helping"
"and they just sprung it on you?" I ask skeptically "I swear! Mother only told me this morning. I thought they weren't moving for another three days and she's asks me to take care of Janet for a few days while they settle in"
"a few days!? Michael, your supposed to be moving in with me..today!" I huff. "I know babe, and I'm really sorry. I'd tried to get out of it. I really did" he sighs. "we're going to the zooo!" I hear a Childs voice in the background. "doesn't sound like your moving" I scoff. "I'm taking Janet to the zoo to keep her from under my mothers feet. She's stressing out like crazy already"
"will she be there?" I ask half annoyed half upset. "no, just me and Janet...it's just for a few more day's" he sighs and I can hear the sadness in his voice. "ok, but no longer! I've been looking forward to this day for so long" I mumble. "I know. And so have I! Just a few more days and it will finally be just me, you and our soon to be born son"
I get off the phone and sigh in annoyance. Everytime we plan on doing anything, something always comes up and that fucking family of his gets in the way. And now I have to wait another few more days. "I do trust Michael will be here in a few days, but I'm a little skeptical about whether or not he was telling the truth about that bitch going to the zoo with him and his sister. I quickly get dressed and get into my car to go and find out for myself, plus a day at the zoo actually sounds pretty fun!

Ocean's POV
We've been at the zoo for about and hour and Janet has been really quiet the whole time. "Is every thing ok sweetie?" I ask and she nods looking at the ground. "come over here" Micheal says putting her arm around her leading her to a nearby bench. "you know if something or someone's upset you, you can tell us right?" He says softly. "you won't be mad?" She mumbles. "of course we won't be mad" I soothe her. "I just wish mother and Joseph liked me like you two like Nevaeh and DJ"
"Mother and Joseph love you. Why would you think they don't like you?" Michael asks surprised as me at her comment. Then why don't they won't me around? And why does mother keep yelling at me?"
"they do want you around. We all just thought it would be nice to take you out for the day, so you don't have to do all that boring moving stuff. And mothers just a little stressed today is all. It doesn't mean she doesn't love you... Ocean yells at me sometimes, but I know she still loves me" he smiles. "that right" I smile. "I guess your right. Joseph doesn't love me though" she sighs "of course he does" Michael reassures her pulling her in for a hug. "no he doesn't. If he did then he wouldn't hit me when he's mad at me. You don't hurt people if you love them. You love Ocean and you don't hurt her " she croaks trying not to cry. Michael looks at the ground not saying anything and I can see the sadness and guilt in his eyes. "sweetie, sometimes people do thing's that they don't mean to do. Just like when you get mad and argue with someone. People say hurtful things because their upset, but that doesn't mean they don't still love you or that you don't love them anymore" I say softly. And pull her in for a hug 'I love you' Michael mouths still visibly upset 'I love you too' I mouth back. "c'mon, let's go get some ice cream!" I smile trying to lighten the mood.

Michael's POV
It really upset me when Janet made that comment about hurting people you love and she right. I love Ocean with all my heart, yet i've treated her like shit so many times. I know Ocean has forgiven me and understands that I was ill at the time and I truly do love her just like she loves me, but that doesn't mean I can just forget and pretend like it never happened.
As we're waiting in line to get Janet and Nevaeh some ice cream, Ocean turns to me putting her arms around me. "Are you ok?" She smiles through pursed lips and I shake my head "No" I mumble and she pulls me in close to her. "I don't hold it against you, you know that right?" She says softly while stroking the back of my hair. "how did get such and amazing woman" I smile slightly pecking her lips. "just lucky I guess" she shrugs making me giggle. Even though she was joking it's actually true. From the moment she first stepped into my life I became the luckiest man on earth. I lean in kissing her softly and she kisses me back the same way and I close my eyes blocking out everything around me.
"Ewww!" I hear Janet say bringing me from my trance. "That's gross!" She scrunches her face making us chuckle slightly. We get the ice creams for the kids then sit on a nearby bench. As Janet is talking Ocean's ear off I look around and frown seeing a face I really didn't want to see. "I'm just gonna go the restroom. I tell Ocean and Janet making my way over.
"what the fuck are you doing here!?" I snap grabbing Aisha's arm pulling her into the male bathroom before anyone saw. "what. I'm not aloud to go to the zoo to see all the cute little animals?" See shrugs innocently. "that's not why you came here! You knew I was coming here" I frown. "with your baby sister! But from what I saw it's a cute little family day out with her. Our your parents really moving?"
"I swear to you my parents are moving today. That's why I have Janet" I roll my eyes getting even more annoyed. "and that's why you've been all kissy and cuddly Ocean all day?" She Mumbles looking at the ground. "have you been following me?" I frown "you said you were gonna leave and me and you would be together as of today and then I see you kissing... her, what do you expect me to do?"
"I expect you to trust me! If I hadn't got stuck with Janet, I wouldn't have to go through all this pretending. Your not the only one who's hurting here" I mumble. "I'm sorry. I didn't think" she sighs. "I do trust you. I just hate having to sit back and watch you play happy families with her"
"Then don't! Go home and relax and I'll try and call you later" I lie smiling through purses lips. "so go home make yourself a nice big cup of coffee and relax on the sofa with a movie or something. We don't want the baby stressing now do we?" She smiles and nods then eventually leaves.
**********
Ocean's POV
We get home and Michael and I are snuggling on the sofa while Janet takes her bath. "did you have fun today?" He asks pecking my lips. "mhm. I think Janet was a little pissdd you wanted to leave so early though"
"well I don't want you walking around all day. You need rest" he smiles pecking my lips again then puts his arms around my waist kissing me deeper lowering us both down onto the sofa and we're interrupted by Jermaine walking in. "hey, I'm go to that new sushi place. You two want anything?"
"umm..." I say thinking what I'd want and I'm quickly cut off by Michael. "we're both fine" he smiles. "why did you do that? I wanted sushi" I pout when Jermaine leaves the room. "because it's raw fish! and it won't be good for the baby" he shrugs. "But I'm not even pregnant" I frown. "no, but you will . what if you get pregnant tonight? The sushi will still be in your system. You have you think about these thing's"
"I do... When I pregnant! You need to stop worring about these things" I giggle pulling him close to me kissing him softly.
