Michael's POV

"Michael!!" Janet smiles coming over to me and gives me a hug and everybody walks out of Ocean's room. "I knew you wouldn't walk away" she smiles "I had no intention of walking away" I tell her honestly. I did think alot about what Carson said to me about changing Ocean's life. I know i've messed up alot and maybe in some ways it is selfish of me not to walk away, but Ocean's had the chance to walk away from me many times and she didn't and I'm never gonna walk away from her or my children either. I love them to much to do that.

"you finally came back then?" Randy scoffs bringing me from my thoughts. "why wouldn't I?" I frown "we've been looking all over for you. Where were you?" My mother asks. "I just needed some air and I got talking to a woman from the special baby unit. Her sons had surgery too. And No!.. wasn't fucking her we were just talking" I turn to Randy. "I didn't mean what I said. We were looking all over for you and after what Carson said to you, we thought..."

"you thought you'd just start shading me in front of my wife and accuse me of cheating on her? Who gives a fuck what Carson said! I didn't walk out the first time he said it, what makes you think I'd do it now!?"

"I wasn't shading you! And she can't hear us" he shrugs. "how do you know? Did she tell you that?... Oh no she can't because she's in a coma!" I snap. "I was outside side talking and nothing else!" I tell him truthfully. "so why did you just walk out like that?"

"I've been tied up and locked in a house for over a week and then spent two days in a hospital room. I just needed to get some air and take in everything that's happened"

"I'm sorry" He mumbles "just forget about it" I sigh, not wanting to get into it anymore. I've been through too much crap to deal with petty arguments right now.

"you said you met this woman at the special baby unit. You saw the baby?" My dad asks and I shake my head. "I went down there twice, but I couldn't do it" I mutter looking at the ground. "well you went down there and you've named her. That's a start" Janet smiles through pursed lips. "you named her?" My mother smiles and I nod "she's called Princess, Ocean, Jackson" I smile through pursed lips. "Princess? That's cute now, but don't you think it'll be a little weird for her when she's older?" Randy asks. "not really. She'll probably just use her middle name like you, Jackie and Reby" I shrug "she's Michael and Ocean's child and they can call her anything they like... I think it's nice" my dad smiles at me.

Joseph's POV

"we really need to do something about this. Maybe we should call his therapist. He'd know what to do" Kathrine says as we're making our way home. "he'll be fine" I reassure her "Joseph, he's rejecting his own child! That's not fine"

"he's not rejecting her. He's scared" Janet cuts in. "scared of what? She's a two day old baby! She's not gonna beat him up" Randy says sarcastically. "He's scared he's gonna hate her for what's happening to Ocean stupid!" She snaps at him "he said that he hates her!?" I cut in "no, he said that he's scared he will and that if he sees her her might blame her. He never said he actually hates her"

"but she's a baby!" Katherine gasps "How can he possibly think this is her fault?"

"he knows it's not her fault he said that himself. He's just scared he will" Janet says "and that's what he said?" I ask and she nods "which is why we need to do something about it" Kathrine says again. "just give him time. You know what Michael's like. If we push him then he will reject her" I tell her. I don't like that he won't go near the baby anymore than the others, but I can understand him being scared.

Michael's POV

"Ocean please wake up" I sob "I need you. I can't do this without you. If you leave..." I sniffle "if you leave, then I'm gonna leave too because I'd rather be dead than live without you. Your everything to me you always have been and I know I've messed up so many times and I didn't keep you safe and I'm so sorry for that, but I can fix this. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy and keep you safe. I swear! Please wake up. I can't do this with out you! I can't even face looking or going near our child without you. I've loved you since the day I first layed eyes on you and when you smiled at me that first time it was the most magical feeling I've ever had, because it was the first time I truley loved somebody and I felt that love back from you and I know you felt it too. You told me remember? And the first time we kissed you told me it was your first and um... I never told you this, but you were my first kiss too.. Well apart from a teddy bear once, but I don't think that really counts.  we were our first everything together and.. And We'll be our last" I croak. Because if you go I'm going with you" I sob holding her hands "please! I'm begging you... Please wake up. I love you so much" I say shakily sitting beside her and continue sobbing and I suddenly feel her hand squeeze mine. It's really faint, but she definitely did!

"Ocean? Ocean can you hear me!?" I say shakily jumping up from my seat and sigh in relief as her eyes flutter slightly.

Jessica's POV

"can I help you ma'am?" The nurse smiles at me. "I'm looking for the special baby unit"

"and you are?"

"Ocean.. Ocean Jackson" I smile "oh, so your Mrs Jackson!? Glad to finally meet you! I'm Becky" she smiles "Hi Becky. Could you tell me where the unit is?" I ask again. "of course! It's just around the corner" she smiles "thank you" I smile back and make my way to the unit.

"your so beautiful" I smile looking down at her. She starts stirring a little and I pick her up. "Shhh... Shhh.. It's ok" I soothe her. "mommy's here now" I smile holding her close to me. "Princess, Ocean, Jackson?" I frown looking at her chart. "that's such a silly name" I coo at her "I think we'll call you Marissa... Marrissa, Thompson" I smile.

Ocean's POV

"I still can't believe your awake! I was so scared y-you.. You were gonna.."

"I'm not going anywhere" I smile faintly cutting Michael off. And he kisses me softly. "Ocean!!!" Janet smiles running into the room and rushes over hugging me. "not so tight. You'll hurt her" Michael says moving her away "where's DJ and Vaeh?"

"their with Jermaine and Aisha, they'll be here soon" Janet smiles "and the baby? is- Is she?" I stutter. "she's fine. She made a full recovery" Michael smiles. "what does she look like?"

"I um... I haven't seen her yet" Michael mumbles looking at the ground "I tried. I really did, but every time I got scared and..."

"maybe we can go meet Princess together?"

"are you sure its not gonna be too much?" He says concerned "I'm, sure.. it's time we meet our daughter" I smile and he nods and smiles back. "we'll wait here" Joseph's says "you don't wanna see her?" I ask and he shakes his head "we've all spent the last two days fussing over her. We'll leave you two to have your moment with her he smiles and Michael takes my hand gently and we start making our way out.

"our you ready?" I turn to Michael and he nods taking my hand. "hey, you must me Ocean" a woman smiles walking over to us as we walk in "do I know you?" I smile politely "this is Carol. Her son had surgery too" Michael introduces us "nice to meet you" I smile politely "nice to finally meet you too. Michael's told me alot of nice things about you. And I noticed little Princess isn't here anymore. Is she allowed home now?"

"what are you talking about?" I frown and Michael runs over to one of the cribs "she not here!?" Michael panics and I rush over seeing an empty crib. "is everything ok?" I nurse asks coming into the room seeing the worried looks on our faces "where's our daughter!!!?"
