Jackie's POV

I'm at my mothers house and just like me nobody has seen or heard from Michael or Faith and it's starting to piss me off. "I don't know how they got the number, but the press has been calling the house like crazy since Faith posted that stuff" Janet says "and now they've both ran out and left us to deal with the fall out" I frown shaking my head "I warned them the press would be all over this"

"their probably just letting things die down a little. Their coming over for lunch today remember and..."

"yeah right" I scoff cutting my mother off. Nobody's heard from them since that post went up and this isn't gonna die down until they get to speak to Faith since she posted that stuff"

"which the three of you filmed and all agreed to post it on her social media pages" mother points out "plus they are coming over for lunch, Michael never cancels his plans. Not when it's with his mother" she says confidently. "I knew this would be a bad idea. This is why I said we should keep quiet, especially now Faith's pregnant" I sigh "then why did you agree to do the video?" Janet asks and I shrug "because Faith wanted to and her and Michael didn't want it being held over them and wanted people to find out through them and not the papers"

"and you say that like it's a bad thing. At least now it's out in the open and everybody's heard their side as well as yours. You should trust them on this one"

"I thought you wanted people to know Faith was your daughter? And so did Michael" mother says confused "I did but with the two of them being together was one thing, but now a baby's going to be involved and..."

"and their both fully aware of that" she cuts me off "and if Michael and Faith are comfortable telling people and are prepared for the critism their most likely to get then like Janet said you should trust them. They obviously would have discussed this stuff and they have a few month left before Faith is 18 and they go public and have plenty of time to figure out how their going to do it"

"No they don't" I shake my head "have you forgotten the interview Michael and I did? Not only did I deny the rumours and say it was impossible for Faith to be my daughter. People have also been pointing out the comment Michael made about him thinking she was attractive"

"he said exactly what you told him to say in that interview. You can't be mad at him for that" mother raises an eyebrow at me. "I know" I mumble. She's about to speak when we hear Michael and Faith walking through the house. "hello!" Faith says cheerily "we're the hell have you both been!? I can't believe you two just dropped a bomb in the media like that then ran off!" I snap the second they get through the door.

"we didn't run off. I had something extremely important do and it couldn't wait any longer" Michael smiles and we all look at them confused "we're engaged!" Faith squeals excitedly and Janet smiles running over to them "congratulations!!!" She says excitedly hugging them and admiring Faith's ring "you two can't get married" I roll my eyes "of course they can! Once Faith turns 18" mother smiles hugging the two of them "no they can't their related! Uncle and niece remember?"

"that's just a minor detail. I'm pretty sure it's legal in some states" Michael shrugs "if not it's definitely legal in some other countries" Faith adds "if you guys get married in another country, it'll be like a wedding and honeymoon in one!" Janet smiles. I'm about to speak when Joseph walks in holding the phone looking pissed off "Faith and I are getting married!" Michael smiles at him excitedly. "Will we be invited?" He says in a sarcastic tone. "why wouldn't you be?" Faith frowns confused as do we all "I got a call from yet another reporter about Faith being Jackie's kid and this one said something about LaToya getting married"

"that's ridiculous, she would have told us of she was engaged and she's only kown that Jack a matter of months" mother shakes her head "well she has I just got of the phone with some people and apparently they've spoken to her and it's true and the two of them got married last night" he frowns "I've tried calling her, but she's rejecting my calls" he adds "I can't believe she'd do that. And she's only known the guy a few months" Janet frowns shaking her head. "so have they" I shrug pointing and Faith and Michael "at least their's legal" I mutter under my breath "that's different, Faith's knocked up. Michael should marry her" Joseph shrugs. "since you'll be busy with being pregnant and stuff I can help you with the wedding plans" Janet smiles "and I know a really good dress designer" Mother adds "have you all gone crazy!?" I snap "we've just been told LaToya got married without telling us and your all just brushing it under the carpet!?"

"Fuck her! She didn't care enough to tells us so why should we care!" Janet scoffs "Janet!" Mother scolds her "well it's true" she shrugs "Janet's right" Joseph cuts in "we have Michael and Faith wedding to prepare for. As well as this little ones arrival" he smiles putting his hand on Faith's stomach that's starting to show slightly. "this family is completely crazy!" I widen my eyes leaving the room.

Faith's POV

It's a really nice day and Michael and I are lay on the grass cuddling out back at his mothers waiting for lunch. "I still can't believe we're engaged and having a baby" I smile cuddling up to Michael. "is that a good can't believe it?" Michael mumbles and I nod "you don't think so?" I look up at him confused "of course I do! I've wanted to propose for awhile, but I was worried if I did at the time you'd freak out and think I was too clingy and run away. I was actually nervous you'd say no last night too" he chuckles slightly under his breath. "well don't worry. I'm not gonna run" I giggle "pretty soon you won't be able to even if you wanted" he smiles rubbing my stomach and I look at him more seriously "that not the only reason you proposed was it?"

"of course not. I told you. I'd wanted to for a while. Way before we knew you were pregnant. That's not the only reason you said yes was it?" He looks at me nervously and I shake my head "of course not"

"then this baby's and added bonus" he smiles pecking my lips, then leans in slightly deeper yet softly then breaks away "what's wrong?" He asks softly, sensing something and I sigh slightly "Jackie seemed really mad about us getting engaged"

"don't worry about Jackie, he's pissed at me not you"

"but why? It wasn't all down to you" I frown confused. "I know, but he's your dad and not only did I sleep with his daughter, I got her pregnant. Plus he walked in when you were.. You know?" He wiggles his eyebrows playfully at that last part. "but he never gets mad at me over it"

"that's because your his daughter and with fathers girls can do no wrong. I'll be the same if we have a daughter" he shrugs. "my moms gonna flip out too when she finds out. She's already pissed and been sending me messages about that media post we did"

"don't worry about Julie either" he says softly stroking the side of my face. "your our family now. Just like you always should have been and your name my not be Jackson yet, but it soon will be" he smiles pecking my lips and I'm about to speak when Janet comes outside "hey! None of that out here" she giggles walking over with two drinks. "I thought you guys might want something to drink with it being so hot out here" she smiles handing Michael he's then turning to hand me mine then stops "the baby can drink cola right?" She frowns unsure "it's fine as long as there's no alcohol in it" Michael giggles and she rolls her eyes as she hands me the drink. "I know that. I'm not gonna get your baby drunk" she giggles sitting beside us. "have you guys thought about names yet?" She ask "Janet" she coughs making us giggle. "we haven't thought about names yet. We're gonna wait until we next see the doctor and we find out what it is" I explain "your not waiting until it's born? It'll ruin the surprise" she frowns "well it's either gonna be a boy or a girl so it's not much of a surprise" Michael chuckles "not unless Faith give birth to twins or something. Which would be pretty cool!" He smiles "well it's definitely only one we saw it remember?" I giggle "which you thought was a cyst and told the doctor to check again" Michael chuckles "you never know. There could have been one hiding behind the other" Janet shrugs "one woman have eight at one time!" She adds. "well I'd know if there was eight babies" I roll my eyes playfully. "that would be easier actually" Michael says and I look at him confused "I wanna have 19 kids, so of you had two set of octuplets then one set of triplets you'll only have to get pregnant and give birth three times and then we're done.. easy" he smiles

"did you know he wanted that many?" Janet widens her eyes "news to me" I giggle "admit it. you'll love being a mommy to lots of babies" Michael chuckles pecking my lips.

Michael's POV

So far today's been a really good day, baring the side eye I keep getting from Jackie so I've been making a point on staying out of his way and so far it's worked until I go to the bathroom and he decides to follow me and wait outside so I can't get away this time.

"what the fuck do you think your doing?" He frowns the second I get out of the bathroom. "I was peeing if you must know" I shrug "I'm not talking about that dumb ass! I'm talking about you proposing to Faith"

"she's my girlfriend and soon to be mother of my child.why wouldn't I?" I shrug confused. "and she your niece! Do I have to keep reminding you!?" He frowns. "that's just a minor detail and yes we can. It might be illegal in this state, but I'm sure there are some that it's not. We'll look into it and if not there's other countries and stuff and.."

"you can't just keep saying it's a minor detail when it's NOT! You and Faith being uncle and niece is a BIG DETAIL are you really that stupid!? And have you considered what's gonna happen when your fans find out?" He cuts me off "they look up to you and see you as a role model. And you think your setting a good example to them?"

"how is me marrying the woman I love and mother of my child setting a bad example? And don't talk about my fans like you know them because you don't. And none of them have a problem with Faith and have no reason to" I frown getting pissed he's bringing up my fans again "if you think your doing nothing wrong then why are you getting so defensive about it?" He shrugs "because your standing there cussing out my fans! Of course I'm gonna get defensive!"

"I'm not cussing them out. I'm just saying that when they find out that you've been sleeping with your own niece alot of your fans could and probably will turn their back on you. You and Faith aren't related by marriage or adoption or anything like that your related by blood! You share the same bloodline can't you under stand tha..."

"Yes I know!" I snap "it's one minor detail and..."

"no it's not!" He cuts me off "you know what? I'm not going over this YET AGAIN. Yes we're related by blood, but WE.. DON'T... GIVE.. A ..FUCK! We're together GET... OVER ... IT!"

"I'm aware your together! You gave me a pretty disgusting detailed report on that remember!?" He snaps "and I'll admit I was out of line for that. But you had been pushing and pushing me all day. Yeah I was running my mouth, but you were out of line too!" I snap back at him "what the hell are you talking about?" He looks at me confused "you kicked me out of your car in the middle of the freeway and..."

"you did what!!?" Joseph snaps coming over to us "you didn't hear what he was saying or what I caught him doing in..."

"I don't give a fuck what he said. It's one thing fighting in private, but to throw him out of your car in the middle of a fucking freeway!? What if the press would have seen that or he'd got hit by a car or killed!!"

"he came in Faith's mouth!" Jackie cuts him off and Joseph shrugs "and? That's Faith's fault not Michael's?"

"what!? How is it her fault!?" He gasps widening his eyes "if she hadn't been sucking his dick he wouldn't have cum... I'm assuming that's what was going on in the bathroom?" He turns to me and I nod awkwardly, not saying anything. "see? Faith's fault not his" he turns back to Jackie. "if she doesn't want Michael to cum in her mouth then she shouldn't be going around sucking on his dick. Problem solved" he shrugs "he probably made her do it" Jackie comments and Joseph rolls his eyes "Faith's 17 almost 18 and engaged and pregnant. She's not exactly and innocent little girl"

"and who got her pregnant, huh?" He snaps pointing at me. "it wasn't all down to me you know!?" I snap "I'll take the blame for not using a condom, but Faith wasn't taking any kind of birth control or anything to prevent it either!" He's about to speak but I cut him off "no! I'm sick of you blaming me for everything. I never forced her to do anything she didn't want to and as for her getting pregnant, it's not just the guys responsibility! And your getting mad at me for wanting to marry her and be there and support her and our child. I've done nothing but treat her with respect and love her and it's still not good enough for you!"

"what's going on?" Faith mumbles walking up the stairs "nothing, we were just talking" Jackie smiles at her. "which we're now done with" I mumble, walking over to her and take her hand and going back downstairs with her.

Jackie's POV

"you need to apologise to them" Joseph says once their both down stairs "for what!?" I frown confused "you were just going on about Michael and Faith not seeing what their doing is wrong and you need to take a good look in the mirror because what your doing is worst"

"how I'm I worst!? Faith's 17 and pregnant and their uncle and niece!" I widen my eyes, shocked he's making me out to be in the wrong.

"and you gave them your blessing the day you found out. Then you changed your mind, then was accepting them together, then your not, then you help them stay together and then your pissed and trying to break them up again and the whole time you keep laying into Michael like he's some kind of monster that's raped her or something. Whether you or I or anyone else thinks its wrong or right, You can't keep giving them your blessing one day and change your mind the next. It's just cruel. Yes, Michael's been out of line many times with things he's said, but what do you expect? He's hurt. I could see it in his eyes when you were laying into him.. again"

"he was saying stuff to me too! Did you not just hear him?"

"Yes, I heard him, but can you not see why? he's only acting that way towards you and saying that stuff to piss you off because he's hurt? I saw the look in his eyes a moment ago. He was upset and hurt and he has the same look in his eyes Faith does. You spent years praying for you daughter to be in your life and now she is your doing nothing but hurt and upset her just like her mother did. The only person that's not is Michael and if you keep going like this you gonna lose your brother aswel as your daughter. If you accept them together and wanna give them your blessing, that's your choice. And if you don't, that's your choice. But you can't just say your ok with them one day and change your mind the next. That's not fair"

*

After speaking to Joseph, I go downstairs and I can hear Faith crying in the living room and I behind the wall listening to them.

"it's all my fault. If I'd never came here then.."

"baby, none of this is your fault. Jackie's just having a hard time dealing with it all, but he'll come round just like the others. It's just gonna take time" he croaks pulling her close to him "but none of this is your fault and Jackie loves you and he'll see it eventually how much we love each other and how much you mean to me"

"no he won't. I've ruined everything just like I always do. He spent years wanting his daughter in his life and then he gets me and he thinks I'm disgusting for what we did and now he hates you" she sobs on his arms "he doesn't hate me. He's just upset and he's not disgusted with you. Not even a little bit. he's proud to be your father, just like I'm proud to be your soon to be husband and father to your child" he sniffles pulling her closer to him. "you coming into our lives is the best thing that's ever happened to us"

I stand listening to them and the tears start streaming down my face, listening to Faith feel that way about herself and think I'm disgusted and ashamed to be her father and I'm truly not. I love Faith more than anything and listening to her think those things breaks my heart and listening to Michael makes me feel even worse. I've given him such a hard time about this from day one and even after everything I've said and done to him he's still sitting there defending me while comforting my baby girl after me yet again breaking her heart.

"i'm so sorry for what i've said and done" I croak going onto the living room and neither of them saying anything and I can now see the hurt in their eyes that Joseph could see. "Faith I love you more that anything and I'm not disgusted with you in anyway or regret having you I my life I'm proud of you and I'm proud to be your father" I croak "and Michael I'm truly sorry for the way I've treated you. I'm just having a really hard time trying deal and accept all this, surly you can both understand that?" I croak and they both nod, not speaking and looking at the ground. "I know I've not been fair to you both. Giving you my blessing one minute then taking it away the second I see or hear something I don't like and from now on I promise I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and leave you both to make your own choices. Your both adults and what you do is not of my business"

"thank you" Michael mumbles under his breath and I nod leaving the room without another word, giving them some space, seeing that their clearly upset and not ready to talk to me yet.
