Jackie's POV

Since Faith and Michael are now soon to be parents the three of us thought it would be a great idea for the two of them to get in some practice, so their going to be taking care of Brandi and Siggy for the whole day today. They spent the night last night so they can get up with them and will be here until they go to sleep tonight. Personally I think it's a great idea, but Enid on the other hand is more hesitant.

"Are you sure this a good idea?" Enid says nervously sitting beside me at the kitchen table. "They'll be fine! Plus their gonna need the practice" I reassure her.

"But today is going to be a busy day. Brandi has the doctors and we have a meeting with Siggy's daycare teacher and Brandi's teething and they have that scan today and..."

"And these are things their gonna have to deal with when they have a child" I cut her off. "But why not do it in a less busy day when.."

"Because parenting is tiring and stressfull. We can't just give them the easy stuff and if there is a problem, we're gonna be with them the whole time if they do need help, so there's nothing to worry about" I smile trying to reassure her.

"But they'll be tired anyway from being up all night with Brandi. Maybe I should get the kids up and give them their breakfast, just to help them out a bit" she suggest getting up from the table. "No... they have to learn" I take her hand stopping her. "I guess" she sighs "I still can't believe Julie agreed to be a surrogate for them" she shakes her head still in disbelief. "I thought she hated Michael being with Faith and now she's carrying his child for them"

"Thing's change" I shrug casually. I told Enid about Julie giving them a baby, but like hell I'm I going to tell her it's actually mine.

"But it's 6:30 and their not even up yet"

Enid says. "And neither our the kids and "good morning!" Michael smiles walking into the kitchen with Siggy followed by Faith holding Brandi. "Good morning" I smile back and Enid smiles at them through pursed lips and I look at her confused, why she's being like this. She's always complaining she's stressed out and doesn't get any help while I'm at work and stuff and today she has both Faith and Michael doing pretty much all the work and she's still pissed off.

Faith's POV

So far everything's been going really well taking care of Siggy and Brandi, but for some reason Enid keeps giving me the side eye. She's been doing that since Michael and I got here last night and I'm not sure why, but she seems to have a real problem with me for some reason which is why I don't come over to Jackie's house that much.

"You need to remember the cream or she'll get a rash" Enid says as I'm changing Brandi's diaper "Yeah, I know. I was just about to use it" I smile at her through pursed lips "have you give her, her medicine? she has to have it every..."

"Four hours. It's fine Michael gave it to her already" I cut her off "when?" She frowns confused "about 5 minutes ago"

"But she was supossed to have it 10 minutes ago! You can't..."

"Five minutes isn't going to make a difference" Jackie interups her "how's it going?" He smiles coming over to me. "Going good. She's all ready for the day" I smile. "But your not and neither is Michael or Siggy. He has to be at daycare and.."

"Siggy's all ready" Michael smiles walking into the room with him. "And what about you two? You gonna take them in your PJs?" She raises an eyebrow. "Actually. Michael's going to watch these two while I get ready and then we'll switch and we're ready to go" I smile and she smiles at me through pursed lips and I can see she's getting really pissed off for some reason.

Michael's POV

After dropping Siggy off at daycare it's time to go meet Julie at the hostpital for the next baby scan.

"I wasn't expecting a huge audience" Julie comments seeing Enid and Brandi with us. "We're just baby sitting today" I explain "getting some practice in before the big day, huh?" She chuckles "I really don't think this is an appropriate place for a baby" Enid comments about to take Brandi from me "I should just take her outside and.."

"What are you talking about?" I frown confused "we're gonna find out what the baby is today!" I coo excitedly making her giggle. "I guess Brandi would like to see her new cousin slash niece or nephew" Enid mumbles sarcastically an Jackie frowns at her not saying anything. "Does she really have to be in here? I feel kind of uncomfortable having a stranger in the room" Julie says. "Fine we'll wait outside.. Jackie?" She looks at him confused "Actually I'm gonna stay here. I wanna see what their having"

"But they can tell you if you have a grandson or daughter slash neice or nephew when their done" she says sarcastically. "Can you just wait outside please?" Faith cuts in, pissed by her comment.

"Fine by me" she shrugs opening the door. "Jackie?"

"I'm gonna stay. I wanna see what their having" he mumbles. "But they can tell you when their done" she frowns

"Or... You could just wait outside" Julie cuts in. "I completely understand it's hard for you seeing your husband with the woman and child that were his first choice, but this is a private family moment" she smirks and me and Faith stand akwardly not knowing what to do. I know Enid has been saying bitchy comments too, but what Julie just said was really below the belt and we do want to say something to Julie, but she is giving us her baby and we really don't want to piss her off and have her change her mind. "Are you just gonna let her talk to me like that!?" Enid frowns and Jackie. "We'll be 10 minutes.. if that" he mumbles and Enid gives him an evil stare then storms out of the room. "I hope it wasn't something I said" Julie says pretending to act innocent. "she's fine" I smile at her through pursed lips. "Great! Ok let's see what you guys are having" she smiles excitedly and turns to the nurse, who's been stood akwardly this whole time waiting to start the scan.

Jackie's POV

After the scan is done. I go out into the hall to talk to Enid while Faith and Michael are talking with Julie and the nurse.

"What the fuck was that all about!?" I snap "You tell me!? How could you just stand there and let that woman talk to me like that!?" She snaps back. "Because first off you started with the bitchy comments and second. This is about Faith and Michael getting to see their child.. which in case you were wondering... which I doubt you was. is a girl"

"You still should have said something to her. Unless she's right and her and Faith are your first choice" she says sarcastically. "Your being ridiculous. I'm here to support my daughter and my brother and to see their baby and that's it!" I snap "you do realise how weird that sounds" she scrunches her face "I still don't like that their togther either, but nothing anybody does is gonna change that and I'm not getting into all that again now will you just drop it!" I snap and she opens her mouth to speak, but quickly change her mind when the other walk out of the room.

Faith's POV

After the hospital and taking Brandi to the doctors for her shots. We all make our way to the daycare to speak with Siggy teacher. "Do kids normally have parent teacher conferences at daycare?" Michael asks.

"She just wants to talk to speak to us about his behaviour" Jackie explains. "Behaviour? Siggy's good a gold" I frown confused "maybe when you two have seen him, but according to the teacher he's been miss behaving alot and being agressive" Enid cuts in. "That's impossible. Siggy's a shy kid. They obviously have the wrong kid" Michael shrugs. "Well just don't freak out like you did at the doctors" Jackie chuckles. "I didn't freak out" Michael shrugs casually "you kind of did. You were about to punch the doctor." I chuckle "The guy stabbed my baby niece in the butt!! What was I supposed to do?"

"That guy was a doctor and he didn't 'stab' her, he was giving her, her shots" Enid rolls her eyes. "And you need to stay calm as a parent, because if you worry they worry and you flipping out and yelling like that scared her and got her all upset" she adds.

"That wasn't my fault she cried" Michael shakes his head "I'd cry too if someone stuck a needle up my ass!"

"It wasn't up her ass" Jackie chuckles and parks the car. "No, yelling this time" he says getting out of the car "I won't. I'm gonna be perfectly charming" Michael smiles as we walk inside.

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!?" I snap at Siggy's teacher "Faith, calm down"  Jackie says calmly "HELL NO! I'm not gotta sit here quietly while this BITCH sits there cussing out my brother!"

"I assure you I didn't ask for this meeting for you sit and listen to me 'cuss out' your brother" the teacher says calmly "believe me I don't want to be here saying these thing's"

"And we don't either... but here we are" Michael says calmly yet sarcastic. "It's just his behaviour has become very difficult and he seems to be getting into alot of fights with the other boys lately"

"Well then obviously he's being bullied. He wouldn't be fighting for no reason" I point out. "It's him who's starting the fights and yesterday when I tried to break up a fight between him and another boy he threw a wooden block at me"

"That wouldn't have been Siggy. You must be confused with the other kid" I point out "no.. it was definitely him"

"Then it would have been and accident. Have you seen Siggy? He has a face of an angel. He wouldn't throw thing's for no reason" I shake my head.

Jackie's POV

"Today went pretty well" I say to Enid while Michael and Faith are putting the kids to bed. "Went well!? Michael tried to attack the doctor, Faith screamed at the teacher and your ex slut insulted me. What part of it went well!?"

"Which clearly shows that their going to be protective parents and you have to admit, That was pretty funny how they flipped out" I chuckle slightly "it wasn't funny" she frowns and I sigh rolling my eyes. "Well to be fair it was their first try and the kids are happy and their fed and the house is clean. They even did the laundry" I point out. "Yeah, the kids stuff. I went down there before and Michael just left all my clothes in a pile on the floor next to the washer"

"Would you have preferred he was down in the laundry room, going through your dirty panties?" I smirk raising an eyebrow. "Of course not! But you can't really think today went well"

"Ok... I admit they did make a few mistakes here and there, but that's just apart of parenthood and their gonna mess up from time to time. Plus! We did throw them in at the deep end to be fair"

"We?" She raises an eyebrow "Fine. I threw them in at the deep end, but it could have gone worst and they have plenty of time to prepare" I point out. "They have three months"

"Exactly" I smile and my phone starts rininging. "Umm... I'm gonna have to take this" I mumble, quickly going out into the back yard.

*
"That wasn't the deal!" I frown down the phone at Julie.

"Well it is now. Their going to be getting the little daughter desperately wanted. You saw how happy their little faces were when they found out it was a girl and unless you wanna take that away from them, you'll pay up"

"I'm already giving you more than enough. You can't do this!" I snap down the phone in a hushed tone in case anybody hears"

"I can and I am. From now on you pay me double what you pay each week or the deals off and the baby will be adopted out and i'll be telling Faith and Michael everything" she says cockily. "I can't believe your doing this" I sigh heavily. "Are you gonna pay up or not?" She says ignoring my comment "I don't really have choice do I!?" I say sarcastically "great! I'll see you in a few days" she replies then hangs up be for I can say another word.

Michael's POV

"I think today went pretty good" I whisper to Faith watching Brandi fast asleep in her crib. "Yeah, I can't wait until our baby's here!" She whispers back. "Me neither" I smile. "I can't believe it's a girl. We're finally gonna have a daughter back" she sighs contently. "I told you we would" I smile at her and peck her lips.

We go downstairs and Jackie is walking through the back door. "Hey, we're getting ready to go now their both alseep I smile.

"Ok, you guys did really well today" he smiles through pursed lips. "Is everything ok?" Faith asks seeing the look on his face. "Mhm... everything just fine" he fakes a smile. "I'm just a little tierd"

"Us too! I guess we're gonna have to get used to those early morning and busy days soon" I chuckle slightly "You guys are gonna make great parents" he smiles slightly. "You sure everything's ok?" I ask and he nods "Like I said. I'm just a little tierd"

"Ok.. well were gonna leave you guys to it. Thanks again for letting practice" Faith smiles and he nods and smiles back.

"Do you think it was something we said?" Faith asks once we're home. "I don't think so. He's probably just tierd like he said" I shrug. "I guess"

"Anyway!" I smile changing the topic. "We're gonna have a busy day tomorrow. So we best get some sleep"

"Doing what?"

"Decorating the nursary silly. We gotta get it all ready for a little girl" I smile excitedly. "I can't wait!" She smiles back with the same excitement.
