Jackie's POV

"Your going out again?" Enid asks coming into the room as I'm finishing getting ready.

"I'm going to my mothers house to discuss the christening arrangements with Faith and Michael. I told you this days ago"

"Will she be there?" She mumbles "if you mean Julie then. Yes" I sigh rolling my eyes. "Me, her and my parents are gonna be godparents so we need to go over a few things before the day" I explain and she doesn't say anything for a moment.

"It's a little weird don't you think?" She mumbles and I turn and look at her confused. "One minute Faith and Michael Hate her and the next she's being a surrogate and carryig Michael's baby and then they don't speak for months and she disappears and now their all best friends again! It doesn't make sense" she frowns confused.

"They never 'hated' each other. All family's have their moments" I shrug off her comment.

I still haven't told Enid about me being Precious's biological father or about anything else that has happened and I have no intentions of doing so either. In the last few months everything has been going great and I don't see the point on dragging up what's happened because we're all trying to move past that and move on with our lives. Plus if Enid ever found out I was the one that fathered Precious, she'd make all our lives a living nightmare, especially if the press found out which is why I've kept as much as possible private from her so there's no worry about her running her mouth to the media.

"You know what she's doing don't you?" Enid says bringing me from my thoughts and I frown confused. "Faith! You don't think it's strange how she's always invited Julie around everytime your there?"

"Because it's her mom and she likes spending time with her" I shrug. "No.. she trying to set you both up. Why else would she always be trying to get the two of you together?"

"Your just being paranoid"

"Am I though?" She raises an eyebrow. "Yes. Faith just likes having both her parents around is all and can you blame her? She grew up with Julie barely there and me be non existent in her life and was raising a family of my own. She didn't get to have a mom and dad like our kids have"

"I understand that, but why can't she spent time with you without Julie there? Or why can't Faith come here and visit you alone?" She shrugs. "It's not all the time, but we have a daughter together and sometimes we do have to talk to each other. If me and you were to split up would you expect me to cuss you out in front of our kids or would you want us to be civil?" I raise and eyebrow and she doesn't say anything for a moment then sighs heavily.

"Of course not" she shakes her head. "I just feel like Faith's just playing games and trying to push me out. Always wanting you there every day and..."

"Faith isn't trying to do anything, but organise a christening for her daughter. Trust me" I smile at her through pursed lips. "I have to go" I smile and kiss the top of her head and leave.

Faith's POV

"You don't think a tiara will be little much?" Kathrine says when we show her the dress Precious is going to be wearing for her christening. "Of course not... Your gonna look like the beautiful princess you are!" Michael coos picking Precious up and she crawls towards him.

"But won't it just keep falling off her head?"

"That's why we're getting her one that fits her head" I sigh "plus you could always clip it in place? That's what I used to do when Faith wore hats as a baby" my mother cuts in "I'm gonna take her upstairs with me while your all busy" Kathrine smiles at Michael and I then turns to my mom her and smiles pursed lips and leaves the room with Precious.

"Maybe I should leave" my mom says akwardly. "Don't worry about her" I shrug "she obviously doesn't want me here"

"My mother just in a mood is all" Michael cuts in. "Plus your gonna be Precious's godparents. You need to be here" he smiles.

"Why did you ask us to be her godparents?" Jackie asks "same reason we asked Kathrine and Joesph" I shrug. "Why don't you want to be?"

"Of course we do" my mom cuts in. "We just want to make sure that it's what you really want. Especially with. You know... the circumstances" she widens her eyes at that last part. "Which is another reason why we asked you" Michael cuts in. "If anything should happened to us, it's only right the two of you should be the one's to take care of her" he smiles and they both smile back slightly. "We just wanted to make sure that you were asking because you wanted to, not just because you felt you had too... We weren't exactly the best parents to you" she mumbles that last part.

"You both were pretty shitty... but your both here now and that's the main thing" I smile "say how you really feel!" She chuckles under her breath.

"Umm.. You forgot Enid" my dad says and I look at him confused. "You forgot to write her name on the guest list"

"We did? I wonder how that happened?" Michael says casually and writes her name on the list, glancing up at me slightly.

After a few hours of going over a few last minute details my mom and dad are getting ready to leave.

"Your going already?" I ask. "I to prepare for an interview to do tomorrow and I need to do a little research before hand" my mother smiles "and I have to get back to Enid and the kids. She's been on her own with them all day" my dad adds.

"Why don't we watch a movie or something before you go?" I suggest. "We barely get to hang out just the four of us. I'm sure those things could wait a little longer" I shrug. "I guess another hour or so won't hurt" my dad shrugs "great! we'll get some snacks" I smile and head into the kitchen and I'm followed by Michael.

"Baby, what are you doing?" He asks softly "I'm getting ready to watch a movie" I shrug innocently. "Are you sure that's all your trying to do?" He asks skeptiaclly. "Mhm" I smile through pursed lips. "I just wanna spend some time with my parents is all" I smile wrapping my arms around his neck and he pulls me in close to him and pecks my lips. Then quickly breaks away as my dad walks in.
"Everything ok in here?" He frowns staring at Michael.

"Mhm.. we were just on our way back" Michael smiles at him through pursed and walks off back into the living room. "Are you coming?" I ask as I'm about to leave to.

"I'm just gonna call Enid. I'll be in, in a moment" he smiles at me through pursed lips and I turn and walk back into living room without replying.

Jackie's POV

I don't know why Faith has had an issue with Enid for the last few months. They've never been the best of friends, but lately it seems like Faith is getting more and more pissed off with her and they haven't even spoken to each other that I'm aware off.

"Finally! Why haven't you been replying to my messages?" Enid answers in a pissed off tone. "Sorry. My phone was on silent. Is everything ok?"

"Siggy's been asking for you. He wants you to play baseball with him at the park"

"That's why you kept texting me?" I frown down the phone. "Well he is your son"

"I know that, but you already know I'm helping Faith and Michael organise the christening. So why didn't you just tell him i'll take him another day, instead of texting me to call you when you know I was busy?"

"Faith isn't your only child remember!?" She snaps at me. "In case you forgot. You have a son and a daughter right with me. You can't just drop everything and go running to Faith every time she calls you. Your barely home with us anymore and..."

"I'm not doing this with you again right now" I cut her off "I told you I was busy today I told you days ago. I'll be home in a few hours and..."

"A few hours!? The christening's already booked. How long doesn't it take to go over a few things?"

"At lot longer that we thought. We just have a few more things to go through and then we're done ok?" I say in a calmer tone and end the call then go back into the living room to join the others.

"So... what are we gonna watch?" I smiling walking over to the sofa and everybody is sat waiting for me.

"Some Christmas movie, Faith picked" Michael shrugs and I smile and squeeze myself between the pair and sit in between them and I notice the pissed off look on Michael's face, but he doesn't say anything. I get the two of them are married now and making a family of their own, but I still don't like the idea of my  brother trying anything funny with my daughter while we're watching a movie. Which is exactly what he'd try and do if they sit next to each other.

After the movie ends. Faith and Michael head into the kitchen to clear away the drinks an snacks and Julie and I are left alone.

"I noticed you phone keeps vibrating... Enid?" She asks casually and I nod. "She always gets suspicious when I tell her I'm with Faith... and you"

"Well she'll have to deal with eventually" she shrugs. "That doesn't sound like the new, kind hearted Julie" I chuckle slightly under my breath. "Even the new Julie has her shady moments" she giggles then takes a more serious tone. "What did you tell her?"

"The truth. I've been helping Faith and Michael all day, but missed out the movie part"

"And she was still pissed at you?" She frowns "she kept making out like I don't spent enough time with our kids and only seem interested in Faith"

"I'm sure your a great father to the other two" She smiles then sighs heavily.

"I'm sorry I kept you away from Faith for all those years"

"I'm here now though" I shrug. "At least you had a reason for not being in her life. I was just a shitty mother that was always to busy to care about her" she mumbles. "Your not a shitty mother" I shake my head. "Yes I was. Faith says it herself all the time that we were shitty parents"
"Faith says alot of things, but I wouldnt worry about it and yes neither of us were there for her growing up, but look how she turned out anyway? She's beautiful, kind, loving, intelligent and..."

"What's that noise?" Julie frowns confused cutting me off and I frown hearing load moans coming from the kitchen.

"You have got to be kidding me" Julie scrunches her face and follows me as I storm over to the kitchen.

"What the fuck!!!?" I gasp opening the door "help!.. we're stuck!" Faith mutters with a scared look on her face.

"How did you...?" Julie's frowns confused looking at them

Michael's POV

"It's not funny!" I snap as Jackie walks over laughing at us. "It is pretty funny" he chuckles. "No it's not! It really hurts!" Faith whines.

"Ok. I'll help" he rolls his eyes, still smirking. "You get Faith. I'll get Michael" he turns to Julie and she walks around to Faith's side.

"Ahhh!!" We both yelp in pain and they quickly stop pulling at us.

"How the fuck did you get your tongues stuck in the freezer in the first place!?" Jackie frowns confused

"Well.. we we're... does it matter!? Get me out!" I snap getting pissed off with the two of them laughing.

"What's going on?" We hear Joesph's voice.

"Faith and Michael have somehow..."

"You fucking idiots" he sighs cutting Julie off when he's sees us then walks away rolling his eyes.

"W-what are you doing with that?" Faith frowns nervously as he walks back over to us and we both yelp as he pours the hot water.

"My tongue is bleeding" Faith whines once we're free. "That's what you get for being dumb ass's" Joesph shrugs unsympatheticly. "You don't even know what happened to them?" Julie frowns at his comment and he sighs rolling his eyes then turns to me.

"How did you both get stuck in the freezer?" he raises an eyebrow.

"We um... we wanted to see if your tongue really does stick if you put it on something frozen so we opened the freezer and...."

"See?" He turns back to Julie cutting me off. "They got stuck because their stupid" he says then leaves the room not bothering to ask if we're ok. Even though he can clearly see our tongues are bleeding, but doesn't even pretend to show any sympathy for us.

After our very embarrassing situation Jackie and Julie stuck around for a little longer and had some coffee then eventually they both had to leave as they had stuff to do.

"That was really nice off my dad to drive my mom home" Faith smiles slightly after the leave.

"Well he did drive her here remember?" I shrug. "I know, but he didn't have too. Plus did you see how happy they were today? and they were laughing and joking and.. "

"Yeah. At us" I chuckle slightly. "They still had fun though and..."

"Faith" I cut her off. "Them getting along doesn't mean anything. You do know that right?" I say softly and she nods not saying anything and I can see how much my comment hurt her.

"Baby, I'm sorry" I say softly and pull her in close to me. "I know it's something you really want, but I just don't want you getting false hopes" I say softly and she shrugs. "It's fine and I know your right. Their probably just being nice because I'm around anyway" she shrugs then leans forward and pecks my lips then breaks away "Maybe we should be heading back. It's getting late" she smiles and I nod smiling back.

Jackie's POV 

"Do you think they suspect anything?" Julie asks on the way to her house and I shake my head. "If they had they wouldn't have let us through the door and Faith would have been flipping out. Trust me neither of them suspect a thing" I reassure her.

We continue talking and when we get back to Julie's she still seems a little edgy. "What's wrong?" I shrug. "What if we mess up?" She says nervously. "We won't. Trust me" I smile "but you don't know that for sure! What if we do and..."

I press my lips softly against her cutting her off then break away. "We're not gonna mess up. Not again" I smile and kiss her softly once again and she kisses me back the same way as we lead each other upstairs.
