Kathrine's POV

I took Nevaeh out for a few hours so Ocean can makes some calls. I feel awful even suggesting aborting an innocent child as an option, but it would be for the best for everybody if she did. I had to watch for years Michael and Jermaine hate each other to a point they wouldn't even be in the same room as one another. Never in a million years would I have imagined them working for the same company and living happily under the same roof. I hate to say this, but all this child will do cause hurt and heartbreak for everybody.

As I'm walking up to the house to take Nevaeh back, Michael's car is in the drive. I don't hear any screaming or yelling when I walk inside so I'm guessing Ocean's done as I've said and kept quiet. "we're back!" I call upstairs and Ocean comes down carrying a backpack and looks like she's been crying. "what's going on?" I ask her softly and She takes Nevaeh from me and is about to speak when the front door opens and Jermaine comes home. "what's happened?" He asks softly looking at Ocean. "has Michael done something to you again?"

"yeah! Because everything's always fucking my fault isn't it!?" Michael snaps storming down the stairs. "I was just asking what's..." Before Jermaine can finish Michael punches him hard knocking him to the ground "Michael, stop!" I shout and he turns to me and frowns. "that's right stick up for him as always! He only took advantage of my wife and knocked her up!" He yells at me "w-wait what!?" Jermaine's stutters. "don't try to deny it! I know all about it. Why did you do!? Was it to get back a me for that slutty little cunt!?"

"Micheal, I know your upset right now but..."

"upset!?" He cuts me off. "my brother took advantage of my wife and my own mother not only knew! But tried to cover it up. I'm way beyond upset!!! ... Do you really hate me that much, you were just gonna sit back and let me think..."

"Your pregnant?" Jermaine mumbles to Ocean and Michael frowns pulling Ocean towards him. "Don't get to used to the idea because it's not gonna be around much longer" he snaps  "Michael, I know what we did, but trust me..."

"FUCK! YOUR TRUST!!!" Michael cuts him off then turns to me "clearly that doesn't mean shit in this family"

"why don't we all just calm down and talk" I say softly. again trying to calm the situation. "There's nothing more to say! We're done with all off you!" he snaps taking Ocean's hand and leads her to the door with Nevaeh, slamming it behind them.

Jermaine is about to go after them, but I cut him off at the door. "just let them go" I sigh. "Let them go!? Mother didn't you just hear!? Ocean pregnant with my baby and..."

"and Michael, just told you not get attached to the idea" I cut him off. "so your gonna just stand there and let him force her to abort your grandchild?" He frowns. "would you rather he'd beaten to out of her? Because at one point that's exactly what he probably would have done!" I snap at him. "trust me. He's taking the news alot better than he could have! Jermaine. You have no place to be getting annoyed! Michael's your bother and Ocean's his wife! How could you do such a thing!?" I frown. "I didn't plan it! And I didn't see you getting like this when Michael slept with Aisha!" He snaps at me. "so you did do it to spite him?' I raise an eyebrow and he doesn't say anything. "You took advantage of that poor girl, just to get at your brother!?"

"I didn't take advantage!" He shakes his head. "Jermaine, the girl was a mess that night! You told me yourself! She been shoved across a room and almost raped and..."

"by Michael!" He cuts me off. "and now he's out... Who knows where! With a pregnant wife and an 8 month old daughter"

"you know where their going. Michael just told you and you running after them is just gonna make it worse. So just leave them alone and when they get back..."

"what makes you think there coming back?' He shrugs. "because the only places they have to go is here or my house and like you said they have an 8 month old baby they have no choice but to come back"

Michaels POV

I strap Nevaeh back in her car seat and join Ocean in the front. "their full too" I sigh this is the fourth homeless shelter we've tried and they've all turned us down. I don't get paid from my job for another 3 days and the only money we have is $20 which we need for Nevaeh. "how about I try the next one. They might be different with a girl and a baby" Ocean suggests and I shake my head. "baby, you can't be walking all over. The doctor said you need to stay rested"

Even though I'm glad Ocean chose not to keep Jamaine's baby, It's hurts me seeing her in so much pain and I'm angry at hurt not just at Ocean and Jermaine, but with myself. Everything that happened that night was all because of me. I came home, took everything out on Ocean and then stormed out of the house and tried to make out like it was all her fault. I practically threw her into Jermaine's bed.

"I think there's another one a few streets from here" Ocean mumbles bringing me from my thoughts. I start the car and I can see Ocean whincing from the corner of my eye. "are you ok?" I ask softly "mhm" she nods not answering. "You did the right thing" I mumble. "then why do I feel so guilty?" She shrugs trying not to get upset. "you have nothing to feel guilty for... With all the coke we've doing doing lately, it probably did alot of damage anyway... It was for the best" I tell her softly. Even after hours of talking and making sure she was 100% sure, I knew it was still going to be hard on her and it's hard on me too. I know it's wasn't technically mine, but for awhile it kind of was.

Jermaine's POV

"Jermaine, I told you a million times! If they turn up I'll call you!" My mother snaps down the phone. "but, it's getting late and it's freezing outside!"

"Then go to bed! There's no point waiting up for them. They've probably checked into a hotel for the night with the baby" she tried to reassure me. "then why won't either of them pick up their phones? What if something's happened to them?"

"something did happen to them.. You! Which is most likely why their not picking up because they don't want to talk to you and I don't blame them!" She snaps. "this isn't some silly little argument over who drank all the milk. Jermaine, you used and took advantage of Ocean to get back at Michael! Who by the way was also used and took advantage of by your whore of an ex! You promised me you'd look after them"

"I know and I messed up and I meant that promise and I ..."

"really!? Because it's sounds to me like you and that little whore of yours have done nothing but manipulate and make their lives miserable" she snaps cutting me off then sighs down the phone. "if she had the abortion then she'd need to recover so Michael probably would have taken them to a hotel for the night or something"

"but what about Nevaeh?" I point out. "she's with her parents she's fine. If they were in trouble they'd come here or call. Trust me. Give them some space and time to clear their heads and they'll be fine"

Michael's POV

"maybe if you eat something it'll help" I suggest to Ocean who's still in alot of pain. "I don't want any" she whimpers drinking her bottle of water. "we could try Robert"

"you think he'll let us stay?" I ask and she shrugs. "he's my brother and Rays an old friend of yours. I don't see why not" she shrugs. I nod and finish feeding Nevaeh then drive off to see Robert.

****

We finally get to Roberts and luckily he says we can all stay the night. "I'm so happy to see you guys again! And this time with this adorable little princess! I can't believe I have a niece!" He smiles looking at Nevaeh. "I'm really sorry I ran out that day. I was.. Um..."

"you thought he the devil, we know. I saw you freaking out getting into the car" Ray chuckles. "Ocean, was just a little, Um...stressed out that day" I jump in "oh it's cool! I just assumed you guys had been shooting up before you got here and started tripping" Robert shrugs. "we don't..." I begin to say and Ocean moans holding her stomach. "you ok sis?" Robert frowns confused. "we, um... We went for an abortion earlier and she's been having alot of cramps since" I mumble and he nods "did you take any painkillers or something?" He asks and Ocean shakes her head. "can I go lie down for awhile?" Ocean asks and Robert helps me take her and Nevaeh into the bedroom.

"what the hell did you use to do it? a clothes hook or something?" Robert turns to me seeing how much pain Ocean so in. "no,the doctor used like a suction thing... This has been going on for hours" I croak wrapping my arms around Ocean "Sshhh, it's ok" I whisper trying to soothe her. "i've never heard of an abortion like that. Is it a new thing?" He asks confused. "I don't know. She's never had one before" he doesn't say anything for a moment trying to think. "there is... Something I could give her" he mumbles. "I can tell Ray to run out and get some clean needles and..."

"No.. She's not taking that!" I cut him off and Nevaeh starts crying so I pick her up out of her car seat to comfort her. "you said this has been going on for hours, trust me a little bit of this and she'll be ok in a matter of minutes" I'm about to speak and Ocean cries out again. "I don't wanna see my baby sister like this any longer than you do"

"b-but what if something happens? Like she ODs or something?" I stutter. "she won't. I'll Just give her a tiny bit to make the pain go away, Ocean's my little sister. Trust me I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to her... I'll send Ray out for some more and tell him to get some clean needles and you concentrate on settling your kid and calming yourself down, because right now your stressed and panicky and it's no good for any of you is it?" He says softly. "a tiny bit?" I ask hesitantly. "a tiny bit and in a matter of minutes it'll all be over and you guys can all get some rest"

"Does it really hurt that bad?" I turn to Ocean shakily and she continues sobbing unable to speak. "nothing bad is gonna happen.. Trust me"

Kathrine's POV

I'm sitting on the sofa with Joseph watching TV trying to fight the urge to call. "Maybe I should.. Just to make sure their ok" I turn to Joseph and he sighs. "Kathrine, we've been through this. We need to give them some space"

"but, with everything that's happened today, their heads must be all over the place right now"

"which is exactly why we should leave them be. If they haven't called, then they clearly aren't ready to speak to anybody just yet"

"but..."

"just give them some space. Trust me, the three of them are fine. They'd come here or call if they were in any kind trouble" he tries to reassure me but he can still see the worry in my eyes. "if they haven't call us by tomorrow, then call, but just give them some space for tonight.

Michael's POV

"see? I told you nothing bad would happen" Robert smiles and I sigh in relief sitting on the edge of the bed stroking the hair near the side of her face. "there's some left in here if you want it. Seems a shame to waste it" Robert shrugs and I shake my head. "it's was only to help Ocean with the pain remember?"

"Yeah I know" he shrugs. "But, you've finally got your baby to sleep and Ocean's no longer in Pain an sleeping. You should get some rest too and this will help you relax more... Just promise me you won't ever share needles with anyone but each other ok?" He says sternly "I promise" I nod. "well I'm gonna give you this and then i'll close door and keep it closed for the night so you guys can all get some rest"
