Michael's POV

It's been a weeks now and with both our parents keeping a close eye us it's been really hard for Ocean and I to spend time together. We still get to see each other at school and the few times I've sneaked over to her room. But It's the weekends  that are the hardest normally we'd spend the whole weekend together just hanging out but Joseph got me a job working at his friends store on weekends. I know he's only doing this to please my mother he didn't and still doesn't really care what Ocean and I did it was more the fact we got caught that pissed him off.

I'm stood waiting by the lockers for Ocean to come and the bell has gone, it's weird she's not here yet since her father now drives her and he always drops her at school early so he's not late for work. I get a text bringing me from my thoughts

From: Ocean
Hey baby, Not feeling good so won't be in school today X

I sigh looking down at my phone. Then start heading to my class. I'm just about to open the door and my phone beeps again

From: Ocean
Will be home alone all day ;)

I smile to myself and quickly sneak out of the school before anybody see's me.

Ocean's POV

I manage to sneak the day off school today. My mothers visiting friends out of town and my father and Sherri are working so nobody's gonna be home until later. I wanted to tell Michael earlier but my father was watching outside until Michael left for school before he went outside. Michael and I are still sneaking around. even things have calmed down at home and my family is actually speaking to me. We don't really want to push it. Our parents have even started getting along again (well smiling politely if they see each other).

My thoughts are broken when I hear knocking on my backdoor. I smile to myself and rush over. I open the door and before I can speak Michael crashes his lips against mine leading us both inside. "You miss me?" I giggle breaking away "like crazy" he smiles pecking my lips. "I missed you too" I smile and we head into the living room.

As were cuddling up on the sofa And Michael sighs "you ok?" I smile and he stokes the side of my face with his thumb. "Mhm, I just wish we just be together without having to sneak around like this, trying catch little moments together" I pull him back close to me "and someday we will be" I reassure him "we just have to be patient" I say laying my head on his chest. He lifts my head up so I'm facing him and kisses me softly. As our kiss starts to deepen Michael's phone beeps. He breaks away reading the message looking confused at the screen. "Everything ok?"

"That was LaToya, she said my mother wants me to come straight home today because they need to talk to me about something"

"You don't think they saw you come here so you?" I panic and he shakes his head "I parked my car around the corner and came around the back of the house" he sighs looking at the ground "which means you have to leave now?" He nods pursing his lips.

Michael's POV

When I get home my mother and LaToya are already laying out the dinner table which is weird because we don't normally eat until later "did you need to speak to me about something?" I ask walking into the dining room "we've invited some friends over tonight" LaToya smiles laying the table "what friends?" I ask confused "well we've noticed you've been feeling down a lot recently after..." She pauses for a moment "we thought it would be nice for you to meet someone knew" she smiles through pursed lips. I'm about to say something and the door knocks. I'm standing in the dining room and mother comes back "Michael, you remember the Morrison's" I smile and greet them politely. I haven't seen them since I was about 6 an I have a really strange feeling about it. Why would they just turn up after all these years?. "And of course Emma, you two were so sweet they way you always used to play together" my mother giggles to herself. That's not quite how I remember it but I smile politely an nod.

We're about to sit down and Mrs Morrison makes a point of telling Emma to sit next to me. "It's so great to see you all again, and Emma your looking even more beautiful then ever" my mother smiles "why thank you" she giggles blushing slightly "don't you think Michael?" My mother looks at me. "I guess" I mumble. I have a weird feeling that there trying to set us up or something. All either of our parents have talked about since they got here was Me and Emma, and how we always got along when we were kids and every now and the Emma keeps throwing in little comments about how she can't wait to get married some day and start a family then smiles like she's knows something I don't, it's hard to explain but there's definitely something off about all of this. I don't say anything at first because maybe I'm just getting the wrong end of the stick. "What about you Michael? You see yourself with a wife and kids someday?" Jon (mr Morrison) asks which makes everyone's eyes turn to me "yeah, someday" I shrug then carry on eating. There's an awkward silence for a moment like their waiting for me to say something. But I know now that this is definitely a set up which I don't want any part of. They turn and carry on speaking to each other and I kind of zone out and start thinking about Ocean and when we were cuddling on the sofa today. Neither of us said anything but I swear I felt the baby kick and really hard too. I haven't told Ocean this because I want it to be a surprise but I've been saving all my money from my weekend job for her and the baby and when I leave school I'm planning on working full time so I can support them both.

Joseph nudges me bringing me from my daze "your mother talking to you"

"I'm sorry what were you saying?" I turn asking her "I said Maybe the two of you should go an see a movie or something sometime?" I look at her confused "for what?" Emma giggles slightly which sounds really squeaky and annoying "you know, so you can both catch up and get to know each other a little better" Jon says in a hinting tone "why?" I frown. Now I KNOW their definitely trying to set us up. "Michael be nice" LaToya whispers next to me and rest her hand on my arm, sensing my annoyance "nice!? Their trying to set me up!" I snap "we're just suggesting the two of you get to know each other a little better" my mother says trying to calm the situation "we're not suggesting the two of you get married straight away" Jon chuckles "I'm not gonna marry that!" I snap getting up from my seat to leave "Michael, sit down!" Joseph snaps "all we're suggesting is you get to know each other more an see were it goes from there" my mother explains "we already know each other!"

"Not since we were kids" Emma awkwardly points out "there's no harm in at least trying" I frown shaking my head in disbelief. Is girl serious? I thought made it pretty clear to everybody I didn't want anything to do with her. "I hated you when we were kids!" I snap "Michael, apologise now!" My mother sternly says. "Why?" I shrug "I thought you wanted us get to know each other better!" I stand up again and turn back to Emma "non of us liked you when we're were kids we just played with you because we were told to, you were boring and stupid and still are!" Emma frowns and gets up from her street "I am NOT stupid! For you information I'm a straight A student and I'm studying to be a lawyer" she smirks proudly "your not stupid huh? When we were kids Marlon and I convinced you to wear your dogs collar and leash and eat its food and you did it! And you know what else? Back then you acted like a dog, you still LOOK like a dog, hell if I told you to bend over right now you'd probably let me fuck you like a dog too!" I yell "Michael!" My mother gasps and everybody stares at me shocked (well all except Randy who's laughing like crazy because of my little confession)

Without saying another word I storm out and can hear my parents apologising on my behalf whilst I'm heading upstairs being followed by LaToya "Michael, what the hell is wrong with you!? You could have at least just played along until they left mother is mortified!" She snaps at me. I look out of my window and I see Ocean heading out of her gate. I push past LaToya and quickly rush out to her. "Ocean!!" Is shout running over to her. An she stops turning around.

As soon as I get close enough I pull her in close to me "what's happened?" She asks confused "I love you so much. I don't want any body else" I start sobbing "I love you too, but what's happened? Why are shaking?" I'm about to tell her and I hear Joseph yelling at my front door "Michael get the fuck over hear now!" I don't answer him and out of nowhere Carson grabs Ocean's arm pulling her away from me "I thought I warned you to stay the fuck away from my daughter" Joseph storms over grabbing me "I'm so sorry about him" he tells Carson who's now pulling Ocean into the house.

When we get in the house and go straight upstairs as begin throwing everything in my room. I can't believe they did that to me. They just brought some random girl to the house and expect me to wanna marry her While my pregnant girlfriend is just next door!? Joseph slams my door open and my mother follows behind him "give me good reason why I don't beat the fuck out of you right now!" He yells coming closer "so do it! I don't care! you never needed a reason before so why the fuck are you looking for one now?" I yell back and he stops walking closer looking at me shocked taken back. I've never screamed at my parents like this before, especially Joseph and I'm actually shocked myself that he hasn't charged over to me. I sit on the bed and My mother sits by me pulling close to her "Michael, what's happing to you sweetie?" She asks worriedly and I immediately breakdown and start crying "Maybe we should send the Morrison's away" LaToya whispers awkwardly coming into my room. My mother. Nods and her and Joseph leave the room. "Please talk to me, what's all this about? My mother asks softly "I don't to want be with Emma, I wanna..." Before I can finish she cuts me off "then why not just wait until they left to say this to me instead of acting like you did? I'm sorry but I just assumed that after what happened with Ocean this was what you wanted. A wife and a family of your own" I break away from her embraces wiping the tears from my face "You didn't ask me what I wanted you just brought her here" I tell her looking at the ground and take a deep breath "me and Ocean we're..." she cuts me off lifting my chin so I'm facing her  "I know" she smiles softly "Y-you know?" I stutter confused "it all make sense now, your a young boy and Ocean's  a pretty young girl it's only natural for the two of you to be...well...curious..but you can't do those...things..with anybody but the person you truly love and are married to"

"You don't understand, that's not what I'm trying to say, me and Ocean are..." She cute me off again "I know, your both sorry and you didn't mean to sin" she cups my face in her hands smiling softly " if it upsets you this much then I promise you The Morrison's won't come here again and neither will anybody else"

"Thank you" I sigh  "now you clean up all this mess" she's about to leave then turns back "probably best if you stay in your room and away from Joseph tonight" I nod as she leaves. As soon as the door closes I punch the wall in frustration. I'd just built up the courage to tell her and I let her cut me off. I was so close and had the perfect opportunity to tell my mother everything about Ocean and the baby and I just blew again!

**
After I finish cleaning my room I stand at my window hoping Ocean will come to her window. I really hope I didn't get her in any trouble for what I did. I smile when I see her walking across her room opening the window "so that was interesting" She giggles and I sigh smiling faintly "I'm really sorry. Did I get you in trouble?" She shakes her head "it's fine, my dad saw you charging at me and thought you'd got crazy" she giggle again making me smile she has the cutest laugh I've ever heard. "So what happened?" She asked. I sigh looking at the ground "can I come over?" She nods smiling faintly then goes to lock her door while I climb over.

When I get over I tell Ocean everything that happened. She was really upset about it at first and was crying but I reassured her I wasn't gonna leave her for anybody. We lay on the bed cuddling and all the anger and stress I was feeling just suddenly went away. Ocean was just laying next to me playing with the curls on the back of my neck not saying anything but that's all I needed.

As we're laying there I feel the baby kick "those kicks are getting harder now" I laugh slightly under my breath rubbing her stomach "mhm, it's moving a lot more to" I sigh and smile nervously "it's gonna be here soon," she sits up on edge of the bed and I get up sitting next to her "I've tried telling my parents, but every time either I'm interrupted or I just bail out" she mumbles looking at her hands "Ive come close too but, it's the same thing I get interrupted or bail out" I lift her chin so she facing me again "maybe it'll be easier if we tell them together?" I suggest intwining my fingers with hers. "Probably not best to do it tonight though" I laugh under my breath "defiantly not tonight, my parents our still pissed about the whole Emma thing" she looks at me smirking "to be fair you did make her eat dog food then yelled at her for it years later"

"I'm sure she'll get over it" I shrug making her giggle. We lay back down and I wrap my arms around her. Smiling to myself watching her slowly start falling asleep. She's started getting tired a lot more lately. This is the moment of the day I look forward to the most when I'm holding Ocean in my arms as she falls asleep. I wish I could stay with her all night instead of having to sneak out while she's sleeping but at least I know she falling asleep knowing she's loved.
