Changes

Michael's POV

Since the press somehow found out about us being here they've pretty much been camped outside the hostpital and some reporters have even tried to sneak in to try and get pictures of Mikey, but luckily we have security with us who have managed to stop them. Faith and Mikey are supposed to be staying here for a few days so the doctors can monitor them because Mikey was early, but with all the press we thought it would be best to leave today and have a nurse come to the house before things outside get anymore chaotic outside.

"So how are we supposed to do this? Do we take the Mikey out with us or..."

"I really don't wanna take him out there" Faith cuts LaToya off as we're all trying to figure out how to leave the hostpital with as little stress as possible. Luckily Precious is at the house with Jermaine so she doesn't have to worry or get stressed by the crowd, but we still have to find away to get Mikey out of here without him getting scared or having cameras flashed in his face.

"Can't you just cover him up like you do with Precious?" LaToya asks and I shake my head. "Nobody knew about Precious untill after she was born and even then the press all charged around and tried and get pictures of her" I say nervously.

"Then what are we supposed to do? We can just stay here and hope for the best the press get bored of waiting and go away. The longer we stay the more of them they are" Joesph cuts in.

"We um... we could have somebody else bring him out. Someone who's not in the public eye" Janet says "How will that help us?" Faith looks at her confused. "There's couple's bringing out their new borns out  of here all the time and the press don't look twice at them because their waiting for you two to come out with Mikey so... here me out. I'll make some calls and get two friends that aren't in the public eye to leave with Mikey without being covered and..."

"Not gonna happen" I cut her off "I'm not letting them see either of my kids and..."

"But they won't know they have" Janet cuts me off "they don't know what Precious or Mikey look like. So if they see a random man and woman walking out with a new born then the press aren't going to look twice at them" she cuts me off. "It could work" Joesph says and Faith and I look at each other nervously and unsure. "What about us? When we leave without Mikey then.."

"Why don't you two calm down and we'll think of what's best" LaToya says "Why can't these people just have some respect and morals" my mother frowns "their reporters. Respect and morals mean nothing to those people and I use the world people lightly" I frown. "You do know my mother's a reporter" Faith turns to me. "I still love you" I smile and peck her lips and she doesn't say anything and I can tell she's pissed off by my comment, but I'm sure it's probably more to do with her hormones than what I said.

After about and hour of waiting, Shelly and Kevin a couple my family has known for years, but luckily the media doesn't, finally get here.

"Are you sure this is gonna work?" Faith says nervously handing Mikey over to Shelly. "I promise everything will be fine. The nurses said you two can use the back of the hostpital an have a car waiting for you" Shelly reassures us.

We stand nervously and wait by the fire exit at the back of the hostpital and wait and as soon as our driver calls and tells us the rest of the family are leaving through the front, Faith and I hurry out while the press are distracted and head to the car Janet and her friends are waiting in with Mikey.

"Oh my god your bleeding!" I hear a nervous voice and turn and see two young girl about 13 or 14 walking behind the hostpital and one of them is holding the side of her face. "Excuse me. Are you ok?" Faith asks softly as we walk a little closer to them.

"Michael! Faith!" We hear Janet say in a hushed tone "one second" I mouth then turn my attention back to the young girls "what happened?" I ask softly as we get closer and they both look up nervously. "Oh my god. It- its... wow" the first girl stutters "y-You guys are really here!..."

"Sshhh. Please don't let them hear you" I whisper "and they both nod "we won't we promise" the girl holding her head whispers.

"What the hell are you two doing!?" Janet snaps in a hushed tone.

"What happened to you?" Faith asks the girl ignoring Janet. "We heard you had your baby and just really wanted to give you this" she says nervously handing Faith a hand made congratulations card with both our names on it. "We made it ourselves and we wanted to meet you both, but all those people were pushing and shoving and they pushed me over" the young girl says holding her face. "I'm so sorry that happened to you are you ok?" I ask softly taking a closer look at her face and luckily it doesn't look to bad. "We are now we met you guys" she smiles slightly. "What's your names?" I ask "I'm Stacy and this is my sister Beckie" the first girl says "it's nice to me you both" Faith smiles and we give them both a hug. "Why don't you two wait here and we'll have a driver come pick you up and take you home" I smile. "Y-you don't have to. We can get a bus" Stacy stutters nervously. "We'd rather have someone pick you up and take you home saftly" Faith smiles at her.

After checking the two girls were ok and thanking them for the card. They asked if the could get a picture which Faith and I happily gave them, then made our way to the car before we attract any attention.

"Hey! Buddy!" I smile to Mikey in his car seat as we get into the car. "What the hell were you two thinking standing talking to those girls!?" Janet frowns as she starts the car.

"They weren't reporters. They were fans and one of them got hurt" Faith explains "was she ok?" Janet asks in a soft yet pissed off tone. "Their ok, but one of them got knocked over by all the reporters" I explain. "But it's ok now" I coo at Mikey "I fucking hate those reporters" Janet frowns can they not understand privacy!?"

"Thanks for taking Mikey out for us" Faith smiles slightly at Kevin and Shelly. "It's fine. I'd hate to think what would have happened if you guys had tried to take him out yourself. The poor boy could have been crushed or anything!" She frowns "it's done with now" Faith shrugs. "Now let's get you home to your sister" she turns and coos at Mikey.

Julie's POV

I'm sat watching the news filled with anger, watching all the press still waiting outside of the hostpital and as pissed as I am I'm more disgusted by the situation and of myself because it wasn't to long ago I was a reporter and if I still was I'd be one of those people outside the hostpital too. It never really bothered me before, but over the past few months I've finally started to see how things are on the other end. I used to always think Faith just had an attitude and was being a brat when she was out in public. i've never had a problem dealing with media attention, before, but after the world found out about her and Michael and about Jackie being her Father, I've had so much press following me around trying to get gossip from me I finally see why Faith acting the way she did as a child. It wasn't because she was being bratty or being a bitch, she had an attitude because she constantly had cameras I her face and people crowded around her and I can see now that she was acting out in public and in interviews because she was upset and scared of all the crowds, which now explains why they always cover Precious when their in public.

My thoughts are disturbed when there's a know on the door.

"What the hell do you want?" I frown opening the door to Jackie. "Look. I know your mad at me but..."

"Mad!? You left me last night! For her!" I snap cutting him off. "It wasn't like that" he shakes his head. "Me and Enid needed to talk and stuff and that's the only reason I went home with her, but we're over now"

"What now she kicked you ass out and now you have no choice but me?" I scoff and he shakes his head. "No, because I told her the truth and I told her I was leaving her for you" he says softly and I look at him skeptically.

"Faith and Michael are back home now. Maybe we should go and see them" he says changing the topic. "Doubt they'd want to see us after what's happend" I sigh "well we have to face them eventually. Especially Faith" he says and I nod, knowing he's right.

Faith's POV

"I made you something to eat" Michael smiles walking into the living room and hands me a grilled cheese sandwich. "Baby, you don't have to keep waiting on me" I smile taking it from him. "I don't mind. You just had a baby and you need your rest" he smiles pecking my lips. "How are you feeling?"

"Better now we're all home" I smile. It really upset me today at the hostpital because all Michael and I wanted to do was just spend time alone with Precious and Mikey and because of the press we had to sneak around trying to hide from people instead of being able to enjoy this precious time with our babies.

Michael and I are cuddling on the sofa and one of our security tells us my mom and Dad are at the gate. "Would you like me to tell them now's not a good time?" Bill asks, seeing the tierd looks on out faces. "It's fine. You can let them in" I smile through pursed lips.

"How are you feeling?" My mom asks coming into the living room and gives me a hug. "I'm ok"

"And the baby?" Jackie asks "Mikey's fine too" Michael cuts in. "How's Precious been with her? I know some kids get a little jealous when theres a new baby in the house" my mom asks "Precious loves her baby brother" I reply and the two of them stand, looking around like their trying to think of what to say next.

"Are we gonna talk about what happend yesturday?" I shrug getting to the point. "The doctors said their was some complications but..."

"I'm not talking about me or Mikey" I cut her off "I'm talking about what happened in the hall with Enid. Is it true?" I ask and neither of them answer me.

"I've told Faith what you told me" Michael cuts in "if you know then why are you asking?" My mom frowns confused. "Because I don't want to hear it from him" I point at Michael "I want to hear it from you two" I frown and my mother sighs, taking a deep breath and tells me what's been going on.

"But this isn't just some fling. your father and I love each other and if you worried about is trying to get precious back then you don't have to because we're not gonna take her away from you. We'd never do anything to hurt you or..."

"Like we'd let you take her anyway" Michael frowns cutting in and neither of them say anything for a moment. "What your mother's saying is true. We'd never purposely try and hurt you or take Precious from you and.."

"And you don't think lying to me for months is gonna hurt me!?" I frown. "You two didn't tell anybody about your relationship for over a year" my mom shrugs. "Because I was 17 and we're related. Kinda different" I say sarcastically. "But you didn't know you were related" she shrugs. "Michael did" my dad mutters under his breath. "Why are you getting at me!? Your the one that's lied to your daughter and cheated on you wife not me!" Michael snaps at him. "And I'm truly sorry for that, but I was in the process of leaving Enid before all of this" my dad turns to me "we love each other and we can't help the way we feel about each other. You two of all people should understand that" he says softly and I nod. "I do understand that and I understand you not wanting to go public right away, but what I don't understand is why you lied to me. Don't you think enough people have lied and kept things from me already?" I say, trying not to get upset. "We just didn't want to hurt you and we were worried you'd get stressed and we didn't want to put pressure on you and the baby" my mom says softly. "Stressed about what? Your my parents. Why would you to being together stress me out?" I shrug "your not upset about it?" My dad frowns confused. "Your both adults and can make your own decision. It's not like you need my permission" I shrug and he's about to speak when we hear Precious calling for us, which wakes up Mikey.

"Do you need any help?" My mom asks "we're fine. We just want some time alone. Just the four of us. Can we talk about all this another time?" Michael says trying to be polite as possible and they both nod as Michael and I make our way upstairs.

It's not that I don't want to talk to my parent because I do, but I gave birth less than 24 hours ago and Michael and I are tierd and both now trying to get used to having two children to take care of.

Once we have both Mikey and Precious settled again, Michael and I go into our room and start getting ready for bed ourselves.

"What was all that about with Jackie and Julie?" Michael asks as I'm getting into bed. "What do you mean?"

"I mean the way you reacted. I thought having your parents together is what you wanted" he says confused as he joins me in bed. "It is"

"So why were you acting so pissed off?"

"Because they still lied to me and kept it a secret for months. It's not that I'm not ok with them being together, it's just that I'm so tired of people lying and hiding things from me. Don't you remeber what happened with my grandma? Or when Jackie told me he was my real dad and a whole bunch of other stuff too" I explain and he nods, understandably and wraps his arms around me and pulls me in close to him and we both soon fall asleep.

Julie's POV

Jackie and I go back to my place and I'm still surprised by the way Faith reacted to what me and Jackie told her.

"I can't believe how calm she was about the whole thing" I say to Jackie "she was still pretty pissed though" he says. "Just like I am" I mutter and he looks at me confused. "Jackie, you left me at the hostpital and went home with her. I haven't forgotten" I frown and he shakes his head. "It wasn't like that. I only left with Enid because I obviously needed to talk to her and I didn't want it to turn into another screaming match, especially since Faith had just had a baby and the press all over the place and they didn't need all that crap"

"And what exactly did you 'talk' about?"

"I told her about me and you and what's been going on"

"And then what?" I shrug still feeling skeptical of his story. "She actually took it really well" he says suprised. "How do you mean?" I frown confused. "She agreed me and her haven't been working out for years and us getting a divorce would be for the best"

"She said that?" I frown and he nods. "It's true though. Me and Enid haven't been working for years. I never knew she realised it too and we agreed she could stay in the house until she can find somewhere else and she promised that I'd still be able to see Siggy and Brandi as often as I want"

"That's great news!" I smile and he smiles back and pulls me close to him and kisses me softly.

Our moment is ruined when Jackie's phone starts to ring.

"Fine. Give me 10 minutes" he sighs and hangs up the phone. "What's wrong?"

"That was Enid. I accidentally took her car keys and phone charger while I was packing my stuff"

"And your going over there now?" I frown folding my arms "i'll be as fast as I can, I promise"

"Well I'm coming too" I shrug "if that's what you want" he shrugs "by if me and you are gonna work then you have to trust me"

"I do trust you. I just don't trust her" I frown.

We get to Jackie's house and Enid is waiting outside. "I see you brought your little tramp" she scoffs frowning at me.

"Here's your keys and charger" Jackie says and hands them to her and is about to leave then frowns confused. "Are you going somewhere?" He says confused seeing her suitcases. "What do you think?" She shrugs taking her things to the car.

"You can't just leave I the middle of the..."

"You want my man so badly?" She cuts him off turning to me. "Fine! Take him and to can take care of his bratty ass kids too!"

"Wait. Your walking out on your children?" I frown confused. "If you want Jackie then you can have him and you can have the baggage that comes with him" she shrugs and gets in her car. "Enid you can't just..."

"Just did" she cuts Jackie off and drives off before he can finish talking.

"Is she serious?" I say to Jackie going into the house. "Maybe it's best we stay here tonight. I don't want to be confusing Siggy and Brandi anymore than they have been today" he mumbles still confused by what just happend and I nod then see a little boy sleepily walking down the stairs. "Daddy, where mommy gone?" He asks confused. "It's really late. Why don't you go back to bed and we'll talk more in the morning" Jackie says softly taking him back to bed.

It's getting really late and Jackie and I make our way to bed and Jackie soon falls asleep and I can't help, but lay there smiling to myself.

At first I was unsure if Jackie truly meant the things he was saying to me or if he really did love me, but now I know the truth and I finally have Jackie back and the love I've always wanted from him and what makes it even more perfect is not only do I now have a bond with Faith, but with Enid now out of the way Jackie and I finally have the chance to have the life we always should have.

We have our daughter Faith and we may not have Precious or danny anymore, but we do have Siggy and Brandi. we now have a second chance and this time I'm going to do things right and I'm going to be the best mother I can be to Siggy and Brandi.
