Joseph's POV

I get back into the room and Michael is still sitting beside Ocean. "I just spoke to the doctor. They said the baby's body's accepted the transplant. She's resting now, but she'll be OK"

"The doctors already told me" Michael says in a neutral tone. "you can see her now"

"I'm staying here" he mumbles. "Michael..."

"this is all my fault" he sniffles and breaks down sobbing once again. "None of this is your fault" I shake my head. "yes it is! I shouldn't have let her do it. It's ALL my fault. I knew she wasnt strong enough, but I let her go through with it! and now she might..."

"don't think like that" I cut him off. "then why won't she wake up!?" he croaks and I put my arm around him. "she will. Her bodies been through so much in one day. She needs to recover" I try to reassure him as well as myself. "why don't go and see the baby? You still haven't seen her yet"

"I don't wanna see her" his says in a neutral tone and turns back to Ocean. I'm about to speak. When we hear yelling from out in the hall way. We go out and see Kathrine and Jessica arguing. "I have every right to be here! That's my daughter in there and my grandchild!" Jessica snaps and Michael comes charging out of the room. "you stay the fuck away from her!!! And you stay away from our kids! I know it was You that let them into our house so you could take our kids Mollie and Frank told us all about it and...."

"what are you talking about? No I didn't. I don't know what those people told you but..."

"you did this!!!?" I snap cutting her off. "no. I swear!"

"so why would they say it!?" Michael snaps. "If I intended to kidnap your kids. Do you really think I'd stay in your house with them?"

"I suppose she has a point" Kathrine shrugs "and I was the one that told everyone where Mollie was and what happened to you"

"eventually!" Janet cuts in. "I was scared! They said they'd come back of I said anything and swear I was never going to take your kids. I kept them safe and looked after them while you were away"

"while we were away!? we weren't on a fucking vacation! We were kidnapped! you stupid bitch! And you didn't say shit to anybody!" Michael yells and Jessica starts crying"and I'm sorry for that. I was scared! And I did tell somone eventually"

"after Duncan called me for help! You don't think he was scared!? He's two years old and even he knew to call for help!" I snap "your both safe now. Isn't that what's important? She turns to Michael and he shakes his head. "our daughter just had to have a kidney transplant and Ocean might die because of all this and you call that safe!? Just because you didn't kidnap our kids and eventually told someone where we were, doesn't make you some kind of hero. It just makes you a cunt that did the right thing for once in her life" Michael says coldly and goes back into the room to Ocean.

"don't even think about it" I stop Jessica as she's about to go in "your not welcome here"

"I just want to check her and the baby's ok"

"and Michael's just told you their not! Now leave!" Janet hisses at her and she nods looking at the ground and leaves. "have the doctors said any more?" Kathrine asks and I shake my head. "the baby's recovering well, but Ocean's still the same"

"and what about Michael?"

"the doctors gave him something called methadone to help with the withdrawal from the drugs Mollie was forcing into them as well as his medication. Physically he's ok but... He's refusing to go anywhere the baby and doesn't wanna leave Ocean's side and keeps breaking down, blaming himself for everything"

"I'm gonna go speak to him alone for a moment" Janet says and I nod.

Michael's POV

"Ocean. Please wake up. I can't do this without you" I sob, keeping hold of her hand. it's been hours and still Ocean hasn't woken up. Everybody keeps trying to stay hopeful and say she'll wake up any time, but I can see the look in their eyes, like their trying to convince themselves aswel as me.

LaToya brought DJ and Vaeh to see the baby, but I still haven't been to see her yet and everybody keeps telling me I should, but I honestly don't want to. Janet walks into the room and sits beside me "Toya took the kids to see the baby" she smiles at me through pursed lips and I nod. "do you and Ocean have any names picked out or..."

"her names Princess, Ocean, Jackson"

"that's a really pretty name" she smiles "I picked it when we started trying and if it was a boy she wanted to call him Prince Michael" I smile at her through pursed lips. "why don't you go and see her? You still haven't met her yet"

"I wanna stay here incase Ocean wakes up" I say shakily "and what's the other reason?" She asks softly and I purse my lips trying not to cry again. "are you scared?" She asks and I nod. "of what?"

"I'm scared I won't love her like I do DJ and Vaeh" I croak "I don't wanna look at my child and feel nothing but hate... I'm a horrible person" I say ashamed of what I just said and look at the ground. "Michael, your not a horrible person" Janet says softly "yes I am... What kind of man resents his own child? She's an innocent little baby and I can't even stand the thought of being in the same room as her let alone looking at her and it's not even her fault. None of this is but..."

"your hurting and your heads a mess right now. That doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you a human being that's going through hell right now" I'm about to speak when LaToya comes in with DJ and Vaeh. "hey guys!" I smile wrapping my arm's tightly around the two of them. "we just saw the baby. She's so teeny and cute" DJ smiles. "that's great" I smile back at him through pursed lips. "maybe you should go down there?" LaToya suggests and I shake my head. "Michael, she's your daughter. You have to see her at some point. If you don't wanna leave Ocean, What if we ask the nurses if they can bring her down here and you can spend time with her and..."

"I don't want her down here" I shake my head. "Toya, just leave it for now" Janet cuts it. "but he hasn't even see her yet. I'll go and see about her coming in here and..."

"how many fucking times!!!? I don't want her in here! And I don't wanna go and see her!!" I snap and she looks at me in shock. "Michael! she's your daughter!"

"just keep her away from me!" I croak storming out of the room.

Janet's POV

LaToya turns to go after Michael and I grab her arm stopping her. "just leave it"

"leave it!? Janet, he just said he doesn't want anything to do with his own child! I can't just leave it!"

"he's upset! And he's not thinking straight right now" I say softly "so what? We just leave it and let him reject his baby!?"

"he's not rejecting her. He's scared and the more you push him the more he'll back away from her, so just leave him be for now"

"aunty Dunk?" DJ says tugging in my legs. "is it the baby's fault mommy's hurt?"

"of course not! Your mommy being like this isn't her fault. None of it is" I say softly picking him up. "then why does daddy hate her?"

"he doesn't hate her and he doesn't blame her for any of this and he wouldn't want you to do that either. Daddy's just very upset right now. But he'll be ok" I smile through pursed lips

Michael's POV

I get down to the special baby unit and stand nervously looking through the window. I can't see into her crib, but my dad told where she was. it's been ten minutes and I still haven't been able to face going in yet. "is this your first?" A woman smiles walking over to me. "excuse me?"

"I've noticed you've been standing out here nervously for awhile now. My husband was the same with our child. Is this your first baby?"

"third. Me and my wife have a son and another daughter" I smile proudly and she smiles back "congratulations! Which one is she?"

"that one" I point her out, but still can't manage to look at her. "Jackson?" She asks and I nod. "mine's the little boy next to her. She's beautiful little girl"

"thank you" I smile through pursed lips. She's about to speak when one of the babies starts crying. "looks like someone's waiting for her daddy. I'll leave you both to it" she giggles walking away. I make my way towards the door and freeze not able to go any closer. She's still crying and I do want to go over, but I'm terrified of how I'm going to feel when I see her. "excuse me sir" a nurse smiles trying to get into the room and I move out of the way letting her through and she walks straight over to Princess and I leave the room closing the door behind me.

Carson's POV

I've been looking around for Ocean's room and I see Michael walking out of the special baby unit. "where is Ocean?" I ask walking over to him "she's in room 13. She's still not awake yet" he mumbles "and she may never wake up because of you!" I snap. "this wasn't my fault" he shakes his head. "it's all your fault! Ever since you first met my daughter you've done nothing but destroy her life little by little and now she could die because of you!"

"I didn't do this to her! Our daughter was sick and.."

"and what led her here huh? Ocean was 15 years when you met her and had the whole world ahead of her. She was top of all her classes and was going to go on to be a great doctor and then you showed up and look what's happened to her. She's 19 been pregnant five times! one of which was to your brother and you took her to an illegal abortion clinic to get rid of. Drug addictions. Beaten, dropped out of school, lost custody of her child and now she could lose her life! And it's all your fault!" I yell at him and he goes to speak but I cut him off. "why don't you just walk away?"

"what!? I love Ocean! I'm not gonna walk away for her and my kids" he shakes his head. "if you loved her then you wouldn't have ruined her life!"

"I'm truly sorry for what I've done in the past and I will take care of her and do love her. More than anything" he croaks and I shake head. "if you ever had any love for her or those kids then you'd walk away right now and let her and the children have a chance at at happy life before you destroy them any more than you already have. You had the chance to walk away the first time and you blew it. And now you have that chance again and hopefully you'll make the right choice this time and walk away before you do anymore damage than you've already done" I say coldly and turn walking away from him.

Janet's POV

It's been over and hour and Michael still hasn't come back and I'm walking around the halls looking for him then go to the special baby unit to see if he's gone to see Princess and I see Carson ln walking towards me. "have you seen Michael?" I ask walking over to him. "yes... me and him had words" he says in a neutral tone. "what do you mean the two of you had words? Where is he?" I frown confused. "he's gone and hopefully he won't come back"

"what have you said to him!?" I snap. "the truth. Your brother does nothing but destroy people's lives and if he has any decency he'll stay stay as far away from my daughter and grandchildren as he can" he says coldly and walks away and I start rushing through the halls trying to find him.

"excuse me. Have you seen my brother?" I ask one of the nurses who was in Ocean's room earlier and she nods. "yes, he left about ten minutes ago"

"did he say where he was going or if he was coming back?"

"no, I'm sorry. I just saw him leaving I didn't actually talk to him. I'm sure he'll be back soon. He probably just went home to change or something" she smiled and walks off back to wherever she was going and I take out my phone to call Michael and his phone is switched off.
