Faith's POV

I haven't been able to see Michael all week and since I do my school work online my moms been keeping me and busy during the day working on stuff with her and making a point of having us seen out in public together so I've barely been able to text him either. I hate having to do this and I know my mom is only making a point of being seen in public with me so much so she can get at Michael and Jackie, just like my grandma said she did to Jackie in her letter. I hate having to go along with her and do this to them and Michael has even told me it hurts him seeing me on TV and in pictures, but not being able to see me in person and it hurts me when I see that with Michael and I can't imagine how Jackie is feeling having to go through it all again. We know it's not going to be forever and I'm trying not to think about it to much.

I have a TV appearance with my mom today and I'm in my room part getting ready, but mainly singing and dancing around my room to Michael's thriller song and my mom storms in switching it off. "Faith! What the hell are you doing? We have an interview in an hour quit messing around and get ready"

"I am getting ready" I shrug "no your messing around like a little kid. You really need to start growing up. I'm tired of all this singing and dancing around the house, it's giving me a headache"

"I'm sorry" I sigh "good, now hurry up an get ready"

"must be a bad habit I get from my dad" I shrug and she frowns even more pissed off than when she walked in "Faith, don't even think about messing this up" she warns me "I'm surprised the woman even wants to interview us again after that awkward one you did last time"

"I already said sorry for that and I'm not gonna mess it up" I roll my eyes having this conversation for the millionth time today "well make sure you..."

"I thought you wanted me to get ready?" I cut her off "I do and..." I switch the music back on blasting it up higher than before and go back to dancing around my room picking out and outfit and my mother sends me a death stare and walks out without another word. Not like I could have heard her over the music anyway.

Once she's gone I go over and lock my door and get my other phone from under my mattress and text Michael.

From: Faith- On way to interview will be there in 30 xxxx

From:Michael- Will send Kai over. I love you and miss you xxxx

From: Faith- love and miss you too xxxx

Michael's POV

"Faith's on her way over to the studio" I turn to the others, who are sat in the living room. We don't normally watch interviews of each other or this kind of show in general, but we promised Faith we would because she doesn't normally do interviews so it's kind of our way of supporting her without being able to be there with her.

"did she do it yet?" Jackie asks bringing me from my thoughts "not yet. I text Kai and she's gonna go over to the studio with the test"

"why are you sending your cook to the studio with it?" LaToya frowns confused "because I can't go and if one of us go down there with a DNA test Julie's kinda gonna get suspicious" I shrug sarcastically and her dumb question and go into the kitchen to get a drink and am followed by Janet. "are you ok about all this?" She asks softly and I nod "It's the only way I can get her back now. I can't wait months I need her home with me now" I explain and she sighs sympathicaly "Michael, I hate to keep bringing it up, but once people find out about Jackie then everybody's gonna know Faith's your niece and.. "

"she's not my neice" I cut her off "maybe not to you, but you are..."

"yes I know! And I know everybody isn't going to accept us and say alot of nasty stuff about us. We know that and you all don't need to keep reminding us" I snap slightly. "I didn't mean to upset you" she sighs "but why don't you just go public about the two of you and leave Jackie out of it? We've all managed to hide it for this long and we can still do that. Jackie will understand"

"he's her father and shouldn't have to hide it. He had to do it for almost 18 years it's not fair to make him do that again. He hasn't done anything wrong, just like me and Faith haven't. We're in love and we're not ashamed of that or ashamed of being together and we shouldn't have to be. I've only had to hide my feelings for a few months and it kills me not being able to tell people and if I could I'd shout it from the rooftops for the whole world to know and that's exactly what I'm gonna do the first chance I get and if anybody has a problem with that then that's their problem not mine"

"well as long as your sure and you know what your getting yourselves into because once this is out there's no turning back"

"I'm sure and Faith and I know what we're doing" I tell her honestly

Faith's POV

"are you ready?" My mom asks and I nod "mhm" I fake a smile. I really hate doing interviews, especially live like this one because no matter how much you prepare yourself, you never completely know what their gonna ask and with live interviews they always drop unexpected questions at you and if your not prepared or quick on your feet you can either slip up and say the wrong thing or sit their looking like an idiot trying to think of something to say. "I'll be right back" I quickly say to my mom and rush out of the dressing room towards the women's restroom.

After I've cleaned up I'm about to leave and I hear a familiar voice "damn girl, you ok?"

"excuse me?" I turn, trying to think where I recognise her from. "it's me" she whispers excitedly taking off her sunglasses "Kai? Why are you wearing a disguise?" I chuckle confused "I'm on an undercover mission"

"but nobody knows you here" I point out "yeah I know, but it's my first mission" she smiles making me laugh "are you ok? I just heard you throwing up there"

"I'm fine just a bug or something" I shrug "maybe you should see a doctor about that. you've had that bug a few weeks now" she says concerned "I'm fine. It'll go away eventually" I shrug not to worried about it "so did you bring it?" I ask changing the topic and she nods "mhm. All you gotta do is put this part in your mouth and then they can test the swabs for a match" I take it from her and quickly do it before someone comes in then hand it back to her. "did Jackie say how long it'll take?"

"he's using a privet place so you guys should have the results back later today and on another note Michael asks me to tell you that he loves you and is missing you"

"awww. Tell him I love and miss him more"

"fine" she sighs rolling her eyes playfully. "I hate giving lovely dovey messages. the sooner your back home the better" she giggles "he is missing you though" she says in a more serious tone. "I miss him too" I sigh "oh! I almost forgot" she gasps slightly "I brought you a chicken salad. I know it's your favourite" she smiles "thanks!" I smile back taking it from her and the door to the restroom opens "what's going on?" My mom frowns "delivery service" Kai says quickly "your delivering food to a customer in a bathroom?" She looks at us both skeptiacly "well I only got 30 minutes to deliver it or she gets it free and I'm not gonna have another delivery come out of my pay check" Kai says and walks out "weird delivery service" my mom frowns confused when Kai leaves "I know" I chuckle slightly. "you may wanna order food somewhere else if they hand food over in public bathrooms" she says with a disgusted look taking the food from me and throws it in the trash "we'll go out to a restaurant after the interview if your hungry?" She smiles and I smile back through pursed lips and follow her out of the restroom, pissed that she just threw my food away.

Julie's POV

The interview has started and so far Faith has been on her best behaviour and smiled happily answering any questions given to her , but I'm still slightly worried.

"so Faith, I have to say alot of people were surprised to find you were on a charity single with the one and only Michael Jackson. How did that happen? How did you even meet!?" The interview asks and I pray to myself Faith doesn't say anything stupid. "well, my mother. Was doing and interview with him a few months ago and we met backstage and got talking an he told me about the single and he was looking for another person to sing and like anybody I jumped at the chance" she lies then turns to me and smiles and I smile back at her. "there have been alot of people say there's alot of comparasment to you and Janet, when it comes to your voice and in some way and I have to agree there's even a simaler look too. How do you feel about that?" I think it's a huge compliment to be compared to her. I've been a huge fan of hers ever since I can remember?"

I don't say anything, but look at the interviewer confused to where these random questions and have came from when not a single thing like this was mentioned by her backstage before we started and I notice a simaler look on Faith's face too.

"there have been many rumours said lately and..."

"well we're happy to clear any of them up today" I smile and I fake a smile at Faith giving her a look not to fuck this part up. "well the first was the article about you Faith recently spending time in rehab for a apparent alcohol addiction and..."

"I kept Faith out of the media so she could concentrate on her school work and being in the spotlight wasn't helping. I believe her education is what's most important" I quickly cut her off "I complety agree" the woman smiles "speaking of addiction there have also been rumours of you Faith having addiction to tanning beds and I have to admit you have become slightly darker in skin tone over the past few years" she turns to Faith, looking annoyed I answered and trying to get answers from her instead of me "that's completely untrue" I shake my head and the woman doesn't reply and turns her attention back to Faith for her reply "like my mother said that's not true. I'm actually naturally tanned. There's alot of darker people in my family" Faith answers and smirks slightly at me before contuining her answers "from my mothers side" she fakes a smile and I can see she's trying to piss me off "and Julie it's also been claimed you and your husband are actually separated and have been for many years" Faith doesn't say anything and turns to me raising and eyebrow and I suddenly realise where these questions have come from. "actually my husband and I are very much together and happily married" Faith doesn't say anything and I can see my the look in her face she wants to say something and I pray to myself she keeps her mouth shut. "the two of you came onto our screens when you were on the reality show 'teen mom' would you ever do reality TV again?"

"Well..." Faith smirks about to answer and I quickly cut her off "no.. As much fun as to was to participate in such a show I don't think we'd do anymore reality TV"

"our home life is pretty much like everybody else's. I doubt people would be interested" Faith adds "I wouldn't be so sure. the public have watched you grow up since you were a baby. I'm sure people, me including would love to see you in a more personal light again" the woman smiles at Faith. "not really. There's nothing really for them to see.. Pretty boring really" Faith shrugs.

After the interview I head straight to the dressing room with Faith and close the door "what the fuck was that about?" I snap and she turns to me confused "what? I just did what you told me" she shrugs "why would she ask about me and your father? Or bring up the fact you weren't as light as me and your father? Nobody's ever asked or even questioned that before!"

"how should I know and technically I'm not darker skinned than my dad" she chuckles slightly "Faith I swear if you've said anything to that woman or any other journalist I..."

"I haven't" she cuts me off "I honestly don't know where those questions came from" she shrugs "well you better keep your mouth shut and from now on you stay out of sun!" I frown and walk out to go find the interviewer.

"Soo.. Those were some pretty random questions you asked" I say casually once I find her coming out of the restroom "not really. I just asked about the rumours somebody told me" she shrugs "and where exactly did they come from?"

"some woman called the station asking for me earlier and told me about the rumours she heard and asked if I could bring them up" she shrugs and walks away. And I don't try to call her back having a pretty good idea who it was.

*******

Michael's POV

I know it was pretty petty of us to call up the show and make some slight hints, but people are gonna find out soon enough anyway, plus it was it was funny as hell watching Julie caught of guard like that. I text Faith earlier last night about it so she wouldn't be caught of guard and make sure she was OK with and she didn't have a problem.

It's been a few hours since the DNA test were sent off and we're still waiting for the call. Normally these take a few weeks to get the results back, but since we did it privately and paid more we can get the results the same day, we already know the answer, but the lawyer said they need led actual proof and not just us telling him.

I go into the kitchen and Jackie is still sitting at the kitchen table checking his phone like every two seconds. "they'll call soon. You don't have to keep staring at the screen" I chuckle walking in and notice a discomfort look on his face "what's wrong?"

"really need to use the bathroom"

"so go" I shrug "but what if they call and..."

"Jackie. Just go to the bathroom. I'll keep hold of your phone" I roll my eyes and he quickly runs out the room and I walk over to the fridge to make a sandwich which was the actual reason I came in here.

I take one bite out of my food and Jackie's phone starts ringing and I groan rolling my eyes and turn to walk over to answer it, but Jackie comes charging through the door before I get the chance "Mike! What the fuck!?" Jackie snaps rushing back into the room grabbing his phone off the dining table and quickly answers it.

"yes.... And that 100 percent right?... Ok... Thank you" he says politely to the person on the other side then hangs up and turns to me frowning "you stupid fucking idiot! Why would you walk to the other side of the room and leave my phone on the other side!?" He turns and snaps at me "I was just about to..."

"well I almost missed the most important call ever, because you couldn't wait two fucking seconds to start stuffing your face with food!" He snaps and I stand looking at him confused for a moment why he's gone all phycho then luckily mother and Janet walk in saving me before he walks over and hits me for no reason!

"whats going on?" Mother asks and Jackie tells her he finally got the call from the DNA place "well?" Janet shrugs waiting for his answer "it's confirmed Faith's my daughter! He beams excitedly "but, we already knew that" I shrug and take another note of my sandwich not having the same excitement as him. "but now it's confirmed!" He smiles proudly. I am happy about the test coming back positive and Faith will be coming back to me soon, but in a way I was kinda hoping that it came back that she wasn't. But on the bright side Faith will be back real soon and I can't wait. It's only been two weeks and even though we're still together I still feel heartbroken not getting to see her everyday.

******

Jackie's POV

I've always knows Faith was my daughter, but having that test confirm it, made it even more real for me. I could see the disappointment in Michael's face when it confirmed I was her father, but like he said we already knew that and so did Michael. I understand why him and even Faith would want the test to come back different, but Michael has to understand that no matter how he feels about Faith and him being with her doesn't change the fact that she is my daughter and no matter how in love with her he is or what they do nothing is going to change that fact.

I'm at home and just finished off taking a shower and Edin is standing outside the bathroom with some papers in her hand "what the hell is this!?" She snaps and I realise she's found the custody papers for Faith. "I can explain"

"why are you trying to get custody of her?" She frowns confused "Faith isn't 18 untill the end of the year and Julie won't let her near me or any of our family and if I have custody then.."

"so what? She's her mother and can do what she wants and why would you get custody of a girl that's almost 18 and nothing to do with you?" She frowns confused "she um.. She's my daughter" I mumble "what!!!? You have another child and you didn't think to fucking tell me!!? I'm your wife! And..."

"and we weren't together when Faith was born we didn't even know each other" I cut her off "how long have you known?"

"I've always known" I mumble and she shakes her head in disbelief "so why now? Why not do anything about it at the time and why would you hide this from me!?"

"I was gonna tell..."

"when!?" She cuts me off "when she moved in!? When were you planning on telling me!?" She snaps "she won't be living here she'll be staying with Michael and..."

"wait a minute" she cuts me off again "That night we stayed at your parents I saw Michael sneaking into Faith's room and... Oh my god! They were..."

"I know. I know all about them"

"do they know?"

"Faith found out a few months ago, but Michael's always known" I confess "and you did nothing?"

"they were already seeing each other and..."

"and you let it carry on and let her move in with him?" She frowns "there's nothing I could do about them sleeping together it was going on Way before I found out about them and at the time if I did try and break them up Faith wouldn't have stuck around and..."

"so you allowed your brother to fuck your daughter so you could get her to stick around!?" She looks at me disgusted "it wasn't like that! Your making it out to be something completely different. The two of them met and started falling for each other. There was nothing I could do. It's not like I gave Michael permission"

"it's exactly what you did! And it's sick! What you've done is disgusting! And.."

"I didn't do anything!?" I snap "your brothers been fucking his niece. Your daughter and who's not even at age to concent and you stood back and let him do it!"

"Faith's 17 and old enough to make her own choices. It's not like he forced her" I frown. "you know what!? Your just as sick and twisted as them two and I hope having your precious little girl is worth losing your family!" She frowns walking into the bedroom and I follow her "what are you doing?"

"I'm leaving what the fuck does it look like!?" She snaps throwing clothes into a suitcase "please don't do this"

"me or her?" She frowns "what?"

"you heard me. Me or Faith?" She asks again with a more stern and impatient tone and I sigh. "I can't let her go again... I sorry"
