Michael's POV
This week has been a mixture of both relief and nervousness for Ocean and I . The police came over this morning to go through mine and Ocean's statements again and told us that both of our uncles will be taken in for questioning and most likely be detained while there's an investigation. They've warned us that they'd be a trail and that we'd both have to stand up and give evidence which I'm most scared about, having to stand up and tell a whole bunch of strangers every little detail about what happened, but my family have been really supportive and promised they'd be there with us the whole time.
Since what's happened, Nevaeh has been back with Ocean and I and Joesph has finally stopped locking up all the doors and windows and doesn't worry as much when we leave the house and got us both new phones to replace the ones he took. (for obvious reasons).
After I finish getting dressed I go downstairs and Ocean so sitting playing with Nevaeh. "everybody ready to go?" I smile. "all ready!" Ocean smiles back picking up Nevaeh. "where you guys going today?" LaToya asks coming into the room. "we're going to pick up the stuff for the party" I shrug. "when are you both gonna stop this whole Christian thing and come back to kingdom hall? You know how much it upsets mother. look how annoyed she was when Ocean had a birthday party" she sighs rolling her eyes. "they kicked us out remember? Why would we wanna go back?" I frown. "they only kicked you out because you were being stubborn and wouldn't admit you both sinned . Just admit it and apologise then can come back and..."
"we're not admitting or apologising for shit! So we had sex out of wedlock who cares? There's worst things we could have done" Ocean cuts in. "it was still a sin and just because you didn't rape or murder anyone doesn't mean it was ok and...I'm sorry I didn't mean..."
"yes you did" I mumble. "what's going on?" Joseph asks coming into the room. "nothing we're fine, we're gonna go pick up some stuff for Nevaeh's birthday party" Ocean smiles through pursed lips taking my hand. "call if you need me ok?" He says softly and I nod leaving the house with Ocean.

I don't say anything as we're driving to the store, still thinking about what LaToya said. "forget about her" Ocean says softly resting her hand on my thigh. "I didn't say anything" I shrug "you don't have to. Your thinking about what LaToya said"
"how did you..."
"we're soulmates remember?" She smiles softly. "why do you stay with me? You could do so much better than me" I mumble "because I love you, your the father of my children, you've been there for me through everything... A whole list of things" she shrugs "I forgave you a long time ago. It doesn't matter what LaToya or anyone else thinks"
"your not just saying that because your scared?"
"I'm saying it because it's the truth. No it wasn't ok what you did to me, but if you hadn't then we wouldn't have our two beautiful, amazing children and no I'm not scared of you. Why do you stay with me? You could do alot better than me too. Someone drama free or who doesn't go crazy" she giggles and I park the car as we get the store and lean over and peck her lips "I stay with you because of a whole list of reason and the main one is because I love you" I smile and kiss her softy "yak!" Neavah babbles frowning, making us both giggle.

Mollie's POV
I rememeber Robert saying that Michael's parents used to live next door to Ocean's parents and now live a just a few streets away. I managed to get hold of his address book and found his parents address so now I've been driving around hoping to see one of his family members so I can found out where Michael and Ocean are actually living.
It takes awhile and eventually I see the little girl that came to Robert's apartment one time and drive close to her. "hey, I remember you. It's Janet right?" I smile stopping the car and she looks at me unsure where she knows me from. "I'm Lisa" I lie "I'm friends with your brother Michael and Ocean"
"your the lady who told their apartment number" she says recognising me. "that's right! So how are they doing? I havn't seen them for awhile and I heard they were sick"
"their ok now" she shrugs. "that's great to hear" I fake a smile "so, I was gonna go over and visit them, but I ..."
"their out shopping" she cuts me off. "oh, well maybe next time. How about I give you a ride home?" I smile and she shakes her head. "I'm ok I'm waiting for my brother" she says nervously. "you have more brothers?" I ask casually. "I have alot of big brothers.. Um... I have to go now" she mumbles and quickly starts walking off.
I follow behind her making sure she doesn't notice and a few moments later, I see her walking into a house without knocking so I'm guessing this is the place and I call Frank and let him know.
"are you sure it's the right place?" He asks sternly. "I'm sure of it. I just saw his sister going inside"
"did she see you?"
"of course not" I roll my eyes "I'm parked out of site"
"this better be the place. If you fuck this up again!" He warns. "I won't. And I told you their not even clean! Their just saying that to get people off their backs. Ray even said Michael only came back for the stuff they left"
"if their still using then who the fuck are they getting it from!? Coz it sure as hell ain't me!" He asks annoyed. "I don't know, but...." I stop midsentence and see a car pull up and Michael and Ocean get out. Ocean takes the baby from the back seat and Michael takes out shopping bags from the trunk "found them! It's definitely the right house" I smile watching them go inside.
"well make sure you don't lose them this time! I got alot of people lined up already!"

Ocean's POV
We get back to the house and Joseph comes out of the kitchen followed by Janet who looks nervous. "who's Lisa?" Joesph frowns and Michael and I look at each other and him confused. "well she came looking for you? And Janet said she was asking for you both" He frowns. "we don't know anybody called Lisa. Are you sure that was her names?" I ask Janet and she nods. "she's the lady that told me which number your apartment was she has brown hair and kinda chubby"
"and she came here?" Michael asks her confused and she shakes her head. "she pulled up in her car when I was walking home from school"
"do any of those people you used to be around know where we live? Do you owe people money? Or have you had some trouble with anybody?" Joseph asks sternly and I shake my head. "we never gave anybody this address"
"and we don't owe anybody anything or have problems with anyone" Michael adds"then why is somebody looking for you both?"
"I don't know. Did she say anything else?" Michael turns his attention to Janet. "she just said she heard you both were sick and wanted to come and visit, but I told her you were both ok and weren't home"
"did you give her this address?" I ask and she shakes her head. "she offered to drive me home but I said no and left"
"maybe it's best you both stay home for a few days" Joseph sighs. "but we havn't done anything" Michael frowns. "no, but if someone's looking for you. It'll be best you keep you head down for awhile" he tells us sternly and we nod. "and Janet you don't leave by yourself either" he turns to her "should we call the police?" She asks and he shakes his head. "it's probably nothing to worry about but it's best to just be safe. You don't go anywhere by yourself"

It's been a few hours since the whole Lisa thing and it's still playing on my mind who and why this person is looking for us.
"you need to relax" Michael says walking behind me and wraps his arms around me. "what if she's out there? And who is she?" I ask nervously. "I have know idea and Janet didn't tell her where we were remember? So don't worry about" he smiles onto my neck. "but she could be watching us"
"there you go!" He smiles closing the drapes "smart ass" I giggle slightly. "you need to relax and forget about it"
"how can I?" I shrug and he pulls me into him "well... We're all alone" he smiles wiggling his eyebrows playfully. "what's your point?" I shrug smirking and he shoves me playfully onto the bed and climbs on top of me. "don't give that attitude, girl" he smirks kissing me deep.

Michael's POV
"come baby, you can do it... mmm... I'm almost there. Hold it a little... Mmm.. Longer" I pant breathlessly, and I can feel Ocean's juices running down my leg as she moans loudly into my mouth sending me closer to the edge.
I get closer and closer and suddenly we hear yelling and somebody running upstairs. "Ocean!" Janet calls out knocking on the door. "she's busy!" I snap then crash my lips against her's and try to keep going, but somebody else starts banging on the door. "open this door right now! You lying little shits!" We hear a familiar voice and quickly jump up and start throwing our clothes back on. "you can't stay in there all day! I'm not leaving until you open this door!" Sherri yells as I'm unlocking the door.
"what the fuck do you want!?" I snap opening the door. "I want to speak with my niece!" She snaps back about to walk in, but I stop her pushing her away slightly. "forget it! Your not going anywhere near her!"
"do you have any idea what you've done!? We've all been at a police station all morning, because of you and your lies!" She snaps at Ocean. "I'm not Ly..."
"you better go down to that police station right now and tell them you made it up"
"no" Ocean mumbles shaking her head. "do you realise how bad this looks on our family and on you!?"
"fuck your family! Ocean nothing to do with your family. Not anymore" I yell. "if you were abused then why wait 10 years to say anything, huh!? Do you really think anybody's going to believe you!?"
"you know I was! you saw him do it! Why are you lying!?"
"I saw nothing! All I see is some lying little tramp and some negro bully she got knocked up by and the courts will see the same thing and see right through your lies! Now you better go down there and..."
"she's not going anywhere!" I snap cutting her off. "what's the problem? Are your two not getting enough attention these days? So you both make up ridiculous lies about being abused. Because that's all this is lies!"
"who told you about..."
"rumours travel fast!" she cuts me off "Now why don't you both go just down there and tell the police you made it all up and..."
"you better get the fuck out of this house right now!" Jermaine snaps coming in with Nevaeh. "I'm not leaving until those little bastards admit their lying!" She snaps at him. "either you leave or I'll drag you out myself. You know full well none of you are allowed anywhere near them" he snaps at her. "oh yeah.. that right we're not. I'd completely forgotten" she smirks at him then turns to Ocean and I. "which I guess means you two won't be allowed to come and visit Duncan" she shrugs then storms out.
"our you ok?" I turn to Ocean cupping her face in my hands and she shakes her head. "I can't do this" she says shakily. "yes you can, you both can" Jermaine says softly coming over to us."I'm really sorry. I tried to stop her, but she pushed past me and walked in" Janet says timidly. "it's ok, it's not you fault" I reassure her

A while later Joseph and everybody else comes back and we tell them what happened and he calls the police and we tell them the same thing.
"they'll be given a warning and if they try to make contact with either of you again, calls us immediately" the officer says. "that's it!? A warning!?" Joseph snaps at him. "this time, but if they come back..."
"can they really stop is seeing our son?" I cut him off and me and Ocean look at him worriedly. "the social worker on that case has been notified on what's happing and will make arrangements with you both for her to bring him to you" he reassures us. "and like I said if either one of your uncles or someone close to them tries to contact you then..."
"Someone came looking for them earlier" Janet cuts in. "someone called Lisa. She said she was a friend of theirs"
"but we don't know anybody by that name" I tell him. "was she aggressive towards you or threaten you in anyway?" The officer asks Janet and she shakes her head. "she just said she heard they were sick and wanted to visit and when I said no she offered me a ride home. I think she was trying to find out where Michael was" she says shakily. "and you didn't tell her?" He asks and she shakes her head. "I think it'll be best if you both try to keel a low profile while this is all going on. Just as a precaution" he advises us and we nod.
"maybe we shouldn't do this. We could still go down there and say we made it all up" I say shakily after the officer leaves. "yes you will. You can't let what's happened today..."
"but people are coming after us" Ocean says and I wrap my arms tightly around her. "we knew people from both sides would try and do this and try and get you to drop the charges Jason warned us all rememeber? But you have to stay strong you both do"
"Joseph's right" LaToya cuts in."You can't let Sherri or anybody intimidated you into backing out. We're all here and we'll all be there in that court room supporting you both all the way. You just have to stay strong. You can do this... You both can" she says softly sitting beside me rubbing my back. "you both need to go and get some rest. Jason going to be coming over tomorrow and go over a few things with you both and explain everything that's gonna happen in court" mother says softly and we both nod and go upstairs.
