Michael's POV

"you mother fucker!!!!" I wake up on the sofa to Ray yelling. "what happened?" I ask groggily "this fucking game is a fix!" He snaps playing some video game "you just suck at it" I groan turning back over. "aren't ya'll supposed to be seeing one your kids today?" He frowns keeping his eyes on the screen. "mhm... Not till 11"

"well, it's 9:30 now. maybe you wanna clean yourselves up before you go over there" Robert says coming in the living room. "what!!? Why the fuck didn't you wake us!?" I snap jumping up off the sofa. "where's Ocean?"

"oh, she went out about an hour ago with the baby to get some food. Hope she brings some money with back her, we're running short and it's your guys turn to buy"

"she won't if she's on her own with Nevaeh. We'll get some while we're out" I groan rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

Jessica's POV

"I can't believe with have to go through all this again" I sigh to Carson and Sherri over breakfast. "well they are the kids parents. They should be coming to visit him" Carson shrugs. "when it suits them!" I point out. "I think the whole thing is awful messing poor Duncan around like this" Sherri agrees with me. "to be fair your the one that stoped their visits not them. I thought they were doing pretty well" Carson says and I shake my head. "pretty well? They were always late and kept missing visits and rarely paid child support. How is that doing well?" I point out. "well why should they give you any money? Your the one that wanted the kid here in the first place. And the courts said they don't have to pay now so there's no worries" he shrugs "well they should!" I say sternly. He's about to speak when the post arrives. "momma! Dadda!" Duncan squeals excitedly running towards the door. "no, sweetie it's just the mail" I smile picking him up and he starts crying. "they better turn up today" Sherri frowns. "of course they will. Their not going to cancel on their first visit. They'll be missing the boy, just as much as he's been missing them" Carson mutters opening his newspaper getting bored with the conversation.

Ocean's POV

Michael and I were really nervous about our visit with DJ today, not because of seeing my mother, but because after so many months of not seeing him we were worried DJ had started to forget us. Our worries disappeared when we arrived and DJ immediately recognised us and came running over.

"I can believe how big you've gotten" I smile cuddling DJ. "I can't believe you didn't bother to tell us you had another child" my mother mumbles. This is the first time we've brought Nevaeh with us to my mothers house so you can imagine her surprised when she saw we had and 8 month old daughter. "well you do have a habit of stealing our kids" Michael scoffs. We knew today was going to be awkward especially with my mother and Sherri, but luckily Abby was there to make sure any arguments were quickly shut down.

when Michael goes upstairs to use the bathroom my mother begins with the questions. "so, apart from more secret kids is there anything else going on we should know about?"

"nope" I shake my head continuing building a Lego house with DJ and Nevaeh. "how's things at Michael's brothers. I'm assuming your still living there?"

"yup" I lie. "must be pretty cramped with a baby there too"

"well, your not stealing this one too! So forget it" I snap picking up Nevaeh. She's about to speak when Michael comes back into the room. "we're still looking for a place of our own of you must know" Michael says coming back in the room. "You don't wanna be stuck sharing a room with your little sister when you come to live with us do you buddy" he smiles at DJ picking him up. "I think we're along way off from that!" Sherri chuckles slightly under her breath. "well I think it's good your both preparing" Abby smiles as Michael and Sherri continue to stare daggers at each other. "so when can we start taking him on our own again?" I turn to Abby. "well let's see how things go for the next few weeks and we can discuss it more then" she smiles and I feel my mother sending me evil stares. I know she hates that we get to see DJ again, but she needs to learn that he's our son not hers and once we finally get him back she won't be seeing from any of us again.

when our hour was up. DJ begins sobbing and clinging to us not to leave. "we'll be back really soon. I promise" I tell him honestly cuddling him tightly.

Aisha's POV

I get home early from work and I can hear a noise coming from upstairs and make my way up assuming it's Jermaine.

"what the fuck are you doing here!?" Michael snaps walking out of his and Ocean's old room with a bag. "I-I live here now" I stutter, shocked by his presence. "he seriously took you back?" Ocean chuckles coming out of the bathroom. "h-how did you...."

"we have our ways" Michael smirks "and you better have kept your mouth shut about our little visit to your place!"

"I haven't said anything I swear" I tell him honestly. "good! Because of you..."

"I'm back" I hear Jermaine coming through the front door. "you up here baby?" He says coming upstairs and stops seeing Michael and Ocean."hey" he smiles awkwardly at them

"hey, how's it going?" Michael smiles back in a friendlier manner. "Good... And you?"

"things are great!" He shrugs. "we just came by to get some of our stuff. Hope that's Ok?" Ocean cuts in. "of course, your guys can come by anytime" he smiles. "well we wouldn't want to imposed on you guys" Michael says innocently while staring in my direction. "your both welcome here anyway time. aren't they?" Jermaine looks at me and I fake a smile and nod. "great!" Ocean smiles. "we just wanna put the past behind us" she says softly. Jermaine nods and is about to speak when we hear Nevaeh crying in the bedroom and Michael goes to get her. "we should be heading back. Somebody's due her nap time" he coos at her.

"where are you guys living now? I'll stop by sometime" Jermaine ask and Michael shakes his head. "the place isn't really ready for visitors yet. I'll text you the address though" he smiles getting ready to leave.

****

Later that night Jermaine is in the shower and I'm in our room getting dressed for our date night and I'm looking around for the necklace he gave me awhile ago. "where the heck did I put that thing?" I frown to myself looking around the room certain I left it on the nightstand. I check my jewellery box and notice that other things are missing too. I frown confused for a moment then realised Ocean and Michael must have taken it. "what's up with you?" Jermaine asks coming into the room. "nothing!" I fake a smile closing my jewellery box.

*******"

Michael's POV

"about time! I haven't had a fix in hours" Robert says rushing over to us the second we get through the door. "and neither have we! And we had to spend and hour in the same room as mom" Ocean frowns. "oh yea, how'd it go?" He asks "well apart from a few bitchy comments here and there pretty good" I smile. "and Abby said in a few weeks we might be able to take him out on our own again!" Ocean says excitedly. "that's great news! I can finally meet the little guy" Robert smiles. "yeah, yeah. It's great news... Where's the drugs?" Ray cuts in. "it's here chill out" I shrug taking some out of my pocket to give it him and a bracelet falls out. "where'd you get this?" He asks picking it up. "oh yeah, we went to get some of our stuff from Jermaine's. turns out Aisha's moved back in with him.. she has alot of pretty things laying around the house... Well had" I chuckle.

Carson's POV

"can you believe the ordasity of them!? They just come here after all this time and start talking about them taking Duncan to live with them soon!" Jessica shakes her head as she tells me over dinner how the visit went. "well they will be taking him back at some point you know this" I roll my eyes. "and what did I tell you? I knew from the start that baby was Michael's. Same evil eyes and everything" Sherri smirks. "that's another thing! If they have another baby they didn't tell anyone about what else are they hiding, huh?" Jessica says and I shake my head. "don't even think about it! We're already stuck with one of their little brats" I tell her sternly."I'm just thinking of my grandchildren's safety" she shrugs. "if they were a danger then Abby wouldn't have let them see Duncan and they wouldn't have the baby would they?" I roll my eyes. I knew this was going to happen after Michael and Ocean came over. It's the same thing that happened last time. Jessica and Sherri act nice as pie to them in front of the social worker and the second their all gone the bitchiness starts. "and I think their on drugs" Jessica mumbles "I'm sure they wasn't" I sigh getting bored with the conversation and the bitchines. "you didn't see them" Sherri defends Jessica. "they looked high as hell to me. And I'm sure Michael stole something from the bathroom"

"they were probably just excited to see their son. That doesn't mean they were high and you can't go accusing people of things like that" I frown. "I'm not accusing. I'm flat out saying" Sherri frowns back. "and what exactly did he steal?" I ask skeptically. "well.. I'm not sure but, when I checked the medicine cabinet after they left and I could tell straight away things had been moved around" she shrugs. "so he went upstairs and started moving things around?" I look at her raising an eyebrow. "well, no...but something wasn't right about them and"

"enough!" I cut her off. "I'm sick of hearing about the two of them! In a few weeks Abby said they can start taking Duncan out for the day by themselves again so you won't have to worry about seeing or talking to either them or even having them in the house and unless you have actual proof, you can't go around accusing people of stealing and being on drugs" I tell her sternly and they both finally shut up.
