Jessica's POV

"I'm still not sure about this" Sherri shakes her head. "It's not like I really have choice. We have to go and we can't exactly take a baby to a funeral with us" I point out "but it's over night!"

"I know" I sigh "but then again, you've seen how hyper and difficult Duncan is these days. Maybe a night by herself will show her she can't cope with a child" I smile trying to reassure both her and myself "A whole day alone with Duncan and a  night with virtually no sleep. She'll be going crazy and will be counting the minutes until she can hand him back over" she sighs shaking her head "and who's to say she won't take him to Michael? The second we're gone she could go straight round there with him" I roll my eyes at her. "She hasn't spoken to Michael in two months she doesn't even know where he is"

"that we know of. It wouldn't be the first time Ocean's lied and hid things from us" she shrugs "I'll be calling the house to make sure she's home. I don't like this anymore than you, but it's not like we have much choice"

Ocean's POV

I wasn't sure whether or not to stay with Michael on Saturday so haven't mentioned anything to my parents about me staying out for the night. They'll probably say no anyway, even though I'll say I'm staying and Sarah's but I decided I'm going to ask them anyway.

After finally building up enough courage I head downstairs into the kitchen where both my parents our. "Can I stay at Sarah's house this weekend?" I quickly blurt out the second I walk into the room before my courage fades. "We have to a funeral this weekend so you'll to stay home and with Duncan ...maybe next week" my father answers "really!? Just me and DJ!?" I smile excitedly "well he is your child" he shrugs "but if you've already made plans then ...."

"It's fine! I can stay with Sarah another time" I cut her off. "But if it's too much for you. The I could...."

"The man has been a family friend for years!The 3 us have to be there" my father says to her sternly. "I'll be fine really" I insist. My mothers about to speak again but my father cuts her off "Jessica, she's the child's mother. She'll be fine"

"I've taken care of him since he was born. I'll manage one night" I point out "yes. But you had Michael to help you" I look down at the ground not saying anything "oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." My mother starts and I shake my head "it's fine" I purse my lips pretending to be upset "can we please not talk about him?"

"Of course, I didn't mean to bring up any of the stuff. I'm sorry" she sincerely says "it's behind us just. Just like Michael and that whole Jackson family"

"Quite right too!" My father smiles "well, I'm back at school and working at the grocery store after schools" I shrug smiling "I'm moving on with my life and Michael isn't part of that anymore"

"Well I'll be calling the house to check everything's ok" my mother says sternly "and I don't want anybody over and I mean anyone"

"Of course not" I smile

Michael's POV

Ocean came over and today and we're sat cuddling on the sofa watching a movie. She still hasn't given me and answer on whether or not she'll stay on Saturday and I haven't brought it up because I don't want to pressure her. "Is everything ok?" She asks bringing me from my thoughts. "Have you thought anymore about what I asked you?" I ask mumble. She sighs and sits up. "I have other plans" she smirks "what plans? With who?" I frown confused "with DJ... My parents and Sherri are going to a funeral so they'll be out of town and won't be back until the next afternoon"

"That's great!!!" I exclaim "well apart from the funeral part" I mumble realising how insensitive that sounded and she giggles slightly

"They'll probably call the house though. So I won't be able to stay here....sooo" she smirks wrapping her arms around me "looks like you'll have to come to us"

"It's a little risky" I point out smirking "I'll have to sneak in somehow"

"True....do you think you can?"

"Girl. How many times have I snuck into your room at night?" I shrug cockily making her giggle and will pull each other in smiling from ear to ear.

Sherri's POV

"Do you really think she's still seeing Michael?" Jessica asks "Think about it she supposedly broke up with him two months ago and have you seen her upset? Even once?"

"Well, no but she's been way too busy going to school and working at the grocery store and reconnecting with her old friends. She wouldn't have the time to think about him"

"She lived with the boy for almost seven months and they have a child together and supposedly he was the love of her life. Yet she hasn't been upset! Not once. I just know she's seeing him or at least talking to him. I can feel it" I raise and eyebrow knowing I'm right"

"We don't know for sure" she sighs still trying to reassure herself. "Well there is one way we can find out"

"How?" She shrugs "we won't be here and it's not like we can ask the neighbours"

"Well, she thinks we won't be home until the following afternoon right?" She nods listening intently "sooo, on Saturday night you can make up and excuse. Tell Carson you sick or something and when we get home we'll know for sure"

"But what if she takes Duncan to him?" She points out. "She knows You'll be calling the house all day. So she won't be that stupid to go to him. She'll bring him here. And when she does you can throw her out just like you told her you would"

"And I'll finally have Duncan to myself" she smiles
