Our little secret
Michael's POV
I'm sat in the living room watching TV with Nevaeh snuggled up on my chest when Ray comes in. "you coming?"
"I can't I have the baby" I point out and he sighs. "Mike, it's Friday, you know how many shoppers we can get on Friday afternoons? Bring the kid with you?" He shrugs "I'm not taking her out robbing people with me! You'll have to go yourself this time" I shrug."why can Ocean watch her?"
"because she's out with Mollie and Robert.. Does she seem a little weird to you?"
"Ocean or Mollie?" He looks at me confused. "Mollie... obviously! She seems to hang around alot lately"
"maybe she just wants to hang out" he shrugs. "yeah at the worst times! And she just let's herself in now. I've lost count how many times she walked in as me and Ocean are you? Doing stuff"
"maybe she's trying to watch you" he chuckles. "why would she wanna watch us?" I frown confused "I don't know... the woman's a total freak! Me and her hit it a few times and she'd always wanna film us for her 'personal' collection maybe she wanted to see a live show" he winks. "but, I thought you were gay and with Robert now?" I frown "I am! But I needed the money. No big deal. It's not like me and Robert do much these days.. Unlike you and Ocean! I hear you guys at night" he chuckles "and from what I've walked in on in the past, you guys would make a fortune selling that" he winks. "you had sex with her for money?" I ask ignoring the uncomfortable comment about me and Ocean. I know we're married and doing nothing wrong but still, the thought of someone watching or listening in the next room is still pretty uncomfortable to me. "well we don't all have dads handing out $600 here and there"
"that was a one time thing. He won't give me anymore" I shake my head. "quick thinking telling him you needed it for rent though"
"she wouldn't try and talk Ocean into anything like that would she?" I ask worriedly and he shakes his head. "I doubt it. Her and Robert go way back and you guys are married there's no way she'd suggest something like that to Ocean"
"she better not!" I frown, feeling slightly paranoid after hearing what Mollie does. "dude, you know Ocean wouldn't wouldn't do shit like that, even if she did suggest it. Which she won't" he says sensing my paranoia.

Janet's POV
I told my mother and Joseph I was walking to school with Amy today so I didn't need a ride. I've never skipped school before and I know I'd be in trouble if they found out, but I'm doing it for a good reason so they can't really get that mad if or when they find out.
it's a really nice day out today and I know Jessica plays in the back yard with DJ when it's sunny, because I've been watching them for awhile now to see what their routine is like. I get to my old street and see our old house is still empty so I sneak into the back yard and look through the fence and as I thought DJ is in the yard playing in his sand pit, looking bored and sad while Jessica is reading a magazine. Michael and Ocean never used to sit back and leave DJ playing all by himself like that, they would be playing with him and DJ would have been laughing and squealing, not sitting quietly by himself.
as I'm stood in my old back yard trying to think of what to do next. Jessica's phone rings from inside the house and she walks away to go get it. "DJ" I whisper and he quickly turns seeing me looking over the fence as smiles coming over. "Dunk!" He squeals and I crouch back down, looking through the gaps in the fence. Jessica looks out then goes back inside still talking the phone. "Sshh.. We have to be really quiet" I whisper to DJ picking him up over the fence. "mommy? Daddy?" He looks around upset not seeing them anywhere. "it's ok you don't have to be sad anymore.. I'm gonna take you back them" I smile leaving quickly before Jessica comes back.

Ocean's POV
"Finally! I was starting to think you'd been kidnapped" Michael chuckles coming over to me, pecking my lips "yeah, I can see you were really worried" I giggle seeing pills and other stuff on the table. "that's Rays" he shrugs. "where's Nevaeh?" I look around the room. "taking a nap and Rays out. So what did Mollie want you to go over there for?" He asks and I shrug. "nothing, just to hang out"
"that's it's? Nothing else?" He asks in a more serious tone. "no why?"
"Ray told me something about her earlier" he mumbles and I look at him confused. "he said he needed money really bad once and she paid him to sleep with her on camera"
"and you think that's why she invited over me and brother?" I smirk raising and eyebrow "oh, yeah Robert was there! I forgot that part" he chuckles slightly. "aww.. Was someone getting jealous?" I pout playfully. "no! I just don't wanna have to go round there and remind people who you belong to"
"and who's that?" I smirk wrapping my arms around him. "me... And only me" he moans onto my neck, pulling me towards the sofa and onto his lap, kissing me deep. I break away from our kiss and start kissing and nibbing on his neck making him moan. "Mmm.. I love when you that.... Mollie!"
"WHAT!!!!?" I snap quickly moving away. "um, sorry I didn't mean to disturb you guys" I turn and see Mollie standing awkwardly and the front door and my anger quickly changes to embarrassment. "you left your phone at my place" she smiles through pursed lips. "oh, um thanks" I mutter awkwardly going over to get it. She stands looking at me for a moment. I'm not sure if she's waiting for me to say somthing or invite her in. Normally I'd invite her in but now isn't exactly the best time. "ok. Thanks" I smile through pursed lips. "well I'll leave you two to it then" she mutters looking a little disappointed.
when she leaves I lock the door and Michael wraps his arms around me. "where were we?" He mumbles onto my neck. "moments gone" I say in a neutral tone moving away."but, we were just getting started" he pouts. "don't ever let me hear you say another woman's name again" I say sternly and peck his lips. He's about to say something when Robert comes into the living room. "Damn! I need a fix" he groans sitting on the sofa and we walk over to join him. And Michael sighs annoyed dropping on the sofa beside me.
*********
Janet's POV
It took a really long time but we finally get to the address Michael and Ocean are staying at. I've knocked on about six doors and nobody seems to know who Michael or Ocean are and I'm about to give up when I hear a womans voice behind me. "are you lost sweetheart?" she says softly and I turn and see a woman standing behind me. "I'm looking for my big brother. He lives in this building but I don't know which door"
"Well what's his name? I know everybody in this building" she smiles softly. "his names Michael and he has a wife called Ocean and..."
"oh, you mean Mike?... Does he know your coming?"
"yes" I lie "I came to bring DJ back. Is he home from work?"
"I don't know anything about work but he's definitely home, it's number 27" the woman chuckles and walks away and I make my way to apartment 27.
when I get there I can hear music playing really loud. I knock on the door, but nobody answers so I look through the letter box to see if I can see anyone and I see Michael sitting on a sofa with Ocean. I stand watching for a moment and see Michael move away from Ocean and he has a needle in his hand. Ocean walks away after a moment and Michael puts the same needle in his arm and I look on nervously and confused watching his eyes flutter a little like he's falling asleep. "what are you doing?" I hear a man behind me and jump up quickly. "I- I came to see Michael and Ocean, but their not answering" I tell him nervously. "and you are?" He shrugs. "Janet and this is Duncan"
"so this is DJ huh?" He smiles slightly looking at him. "how do you know they call him DJ?' I ask confused. "I'm Ray, I'm friends with you mommy and Daddy. C'mon I'll let you in" he smiles unlocking the door. I look at him confused at first then follow him inside.

Michael's POV
I hear the door unlocking but don't bother to get up or even opening my eyes knowing that it's just Ray. "Daddy!" I hear a high pitched excided squeal and quickly dart up from the sofa as DJ rushes over to me with his arms open. "w-what the..." I stutter picking him up."I didn't know you had another daughter" Ray says walking in. "i'm his sister" Janet giggles following behind him. "Janet!? W-what are you doing here?" I stutter nervously. "I came to bring DJ back she smiles. "lets go into my room and we can talk better" I say motioning her into the bedroom and turn to Ray. "hide that shit!" I mouth to Ray and go into the room with Janet and DJ.

Ocean and I sit listening to Janet and she explains how she found our address. "Does anyone else know your here? And how did you get DJ" Ocean ask nervously cuddling him. "everybody thinks I'm at school and DJ was playing in your moms back yard and she went inside to get the phone and..."
"you just took him!?" I gasp "he was sad... just like you two always our since he left and I thought if you had him back you'd be happy" she mumble looking at the ground. "we are happy he's here and we're happy to see you too" I smile. "it's just it's not that easy we can't just pick him up and take him home with us" I try to explain. "I'm I gonna get in trouble?" She asks nervously. "we won't let that happen" Ocean smiles pulling her in for a hug reassuring her. "how come you both need medicine?" She asks out of nowhere and we both look at her confused. "before your friend let me in I saw you both taking medicine are you both sick?" She asks worriedly."w-what exactly did you see?" I stutter. "you gave Ocean and injection and then you had some. I thought only the doctor can give you needles" she looks at me confused. I open my mouth to speak and Ocean cuts in "that was just pretend medicine. I'm learning to be a doctor and I just was showing Michael what I learned at school today" she smiles and Janet looks at me and I nod smiling though pursed lip agreeing with her. "but you can't say anything. We wanna keep it a surprise until Ocean's a real doctor"
"like your daddy?" She turns to her and Ocean nods. "and you can't give them the address either"
"but why?" She asks confused. "because this isn't our place this is Ocean's brothers and her parents will get mad if they know their friends again"
"you don't live here?" She frowns and Ocean shakes her head. "my brothers sick at the moment so we're staying here so we can look after him until he's better" Ocean tells her and she nods smiling. "and you can practice being a doctor!"
"that's right" I smile "and it's really important we don't tell anybody about this place or DJ ok?" I tell her sternly and she nods. "I won't I swear. But when your finished looking after Ocean's brother can I come and visit you at your house?" She asks and I nod. "when were in our own house you can come over anytime. But like I said Ocean's brother is really sick and he needs lots of rest and taken care of right now"
*****
After making sure Janet isn't going to say anything about what she saw and where we live and we reasure her nobody will find out she took DJ. we drove to near where my parents live and she walked the rest of the way home so it looked like she's walking home from school then towards Ocean's parents. We borrowed Mollie's car because Jessica would have called the police by now and the first thing they'll think is we took him and people our gonna look for is me and Ocean and Mollie came over to watch Nevaeh for us untill we get back.
we drive around the back of the houses but don't see any police car outside. "Ok, buddy let go" I sigh not wanting to do this, as much as Ocean and I wanted to just pack up and drive off with DJ and Nevaeh. If we did we could lose DJ for good and even Nevaeh. "Nooo. Not grandma, mommy and Daddy" DJ sobs clinging to Ocean. "we'll be back I promise. It's Saturday tomorrow remeber? and we're gonna be here in the morning" Ocean reassures him giving him a kiss and cuddle and he finally gets out the car.
"ok, I'm gonna lift you over and you run back inside to grandma ok?" I tell DJ and he looks at me pouting. "we'll be back tomorrow I promise and has daddy ever broken a promise?" I smile and he shakes his head. "and I never will... Now if grandma ask where you were?"
"hiding" he smiles and winks at me and wink back then give him a cuddle and a kiss goodbye then put my hood up and cover my face incase anyone sees me then quickly put DJ back in the yard and he does what I said and runs into the house.

Jessica's POV
"Grandma!" I turn and see Duncan running in from the back yard "Duncan!" I sigh in relief picking him up and Sherri walks in "I was hiding" Duncan smiles at her. "oh thank the lord!" She sighs in relief. "we should call the police and Carson" she says taking out her phone "no, there's no need' I cut her off. "but we have to tell them we've found him. They'll be on their way here" she says then looks at me skeptically. "you didn't call them did you?" She frowns. "well how's that gonna look if Ocean, Michael and the social worker all found out.. He's fine now"
"how's it going to look!? Jessica! Duncan had been missing for 3 hours!"
"and he's here now so can we just drop it!" I frown "but..."
"but nothing!" I cut her off. "he was just hiding thats all. Ocean was the same at his age do you remember that trip we all took to the lake? 5 hours it took and it turned out she was hiding in the cabin the whole time! And its actually lucky we didn't call the police we could have gotten in trouble for wasting police time"
*****
Ocean's POV
"is he back?" I sniffle still crying and Michael nods starting the car. "are you ok?" he asks softly and I shake my head "are you?"
"no" he croaks and begins sobbing.
**
other than the sniffles from the two of us crying. the car ride home is silent. And when we get back Nevaeh is in the living room with Mollie. "did you guys get him home ok?" She asks softly. "we put him back in the yard and nobody saw us" I mutter sitting down. "Thanks again for helping us and watching Nevaeh. We would have asked Robert or Ray but...."
"it's fine. I wouldn't leave my baby with one of them either" she chuckles slightly. "did Janet get back ok as well?" She asks and I nod. "I still can't believe she just turned up like that" Michael sighs. "I think the whole thing was just cruel doing that to you both. Bringing him all the way here knowing you'd have to take him straight back" Mollie frowns shaking her head. "she's just a kid. She thought she was helping not to spite anybody" I shrug trying not to get mad. Janet bringing DJ here like that could have really messed things up for us if anyone had found out and me and Michael could have even been arrested for kidnap and lost all chance of getting him back . We didn't say that part to Janet because, we both know she was only trying to help."but that's just it. Isn't she like 11?"
"yeah why?" Michael frowns confused. "and she's managed to find your address, skip school, steal a baby and get a bus all the way here without anyone noticing. Sounds like she had help to me. Like it was all set up"
"neither of our families would do that. Even Ocean's mother wouldn't risk losing DJ to us, she's going out of her way to stop us seeing him"
"Plus Janet wouldn't do that. She loves Michael and she wouldn't go out of her way to hurt him" I back him up. "maybe it was a test to see of you'd bring him back or something" she shrugs. "we should be getting her back to bed. It's really late" I say taking Nevaeh changing the subject. "thanks again for watching her and borrowing us your car" I smile and she nods smiling back. "it's no problem. You know where I am if you ever need anything else"
after she leaves we take Nevaeh to bed and the 3 of us snuggle up. "Do you think Mollie could be right?" Michael asks and "I'm not sure, but I have to admit it does sound weird how she did all that stuff by herself"
"well we have our visit tomorrow. We can stop off at my parents on the way home and talk to Janet"
