Precious
Jackie's POV
It's been a week since I left Faith and Michael's house and today their going to my mother's house with the baby and everybody's really excited about meeting her.. well everybody except LaToya who still strongly disagree's with what's happened.
I'm at my parents house waiting for them and mother is still fussing around cleaning. Not that there's anything to clean though. The whole place is spotless, but she always goes into clean freak mode whenever someone new comes to the house.
"Mother, just relax" I chuckle as she begins dusting for the 20th time. "I just want to make sure everything's clean. I don't want her getting any dust on her little chest"
"She'll be fine. Just sit down and relax. Your meeting your granddaughter really soon" I smile "don't you mean great granddaughter?" Janet says "because Faith's her grand daughter"
"I guess she's both.. I think" I frown confused on that one "if this is confusing for you guys. How do you think that poor baby's gonna feel?" LaToya says sarcastically. "It's grandma and grandpa. Problem solved" Joesphs shrugs "what time they gonna get here. They said 9:30. It's 10 now" he says checking the time. "I'm sure they'll be here soon" I smile "I wonder what they named her" Janet smiles. "They didn't say. I don't think they'd picked one at that time" I answer. "So they can steal baby, but can't be bothered to name it?" LaToya scoffs "LATOYA!" Mother snaps. "What? It's true! Or are we just gonna sweep that little part under the rug?"
"They didn't steal anybo..." I'm cut off when there's a knock at the door.
"Their here!" Janet squeaks excitedly rushing to the front door. "Don't start all that again" I frown at LaToya then turn and smile as Michael and Faith walk in with the baby and everybody (expect LaToya) rushes over. "Everybody.. This is Precious" Michael smiles proudly holding his little girl.

Michael's POV
"So how's everything going with her?" Jackie asks while the girls are all fussing around Precious.
"It's going really good. Faith's a natarul with her" I smile looking over at them. "And so are you" he smiles "you think so?"
"Of course! I was terrified when we had Siggy. I was messing up all the time. I kept putting his diapers on backwards an everything" he chuckles. "I kinda practiced on a teddy bear for awhile before she was born" I mutter feeling a little embarrassed and he chuckles slightly.
I'm about to speak when LaToya very rudely walks between the two of us, not speaking and heads into the kitchen. "What's her problem?" I frown confused. "She um.. she still kinda of has a issue an issue about all of this" he mumbles "but she'll be fine don't worry about it"
"Do you?" I mutter and he shakes his head. "If I did then I wouldn't have handed her over would I?" He smiles at me through pursed lips "and your ok seeing her an stuff?"
"Of course. It's not like it was with Faith. I had an issue with it about Faith because the only time I ever saw her was on TV or in magazines. But with with her I know for sure she's happy an well taken care of and I can actually see her and see how loved she is by her parents" he smiles contently looking over at Faith and Precious "anyway... she's your daughter remember?"
"We meant what we said about seeing her. Your always welcome to come by an see her as much or as little as you want" I say softly and he nods. "How come you haven't let the media see her yet? I seen a photo in the paper, but she was wearing a cute little mask " He asks changing the subject slightly. "Well we thought about it, but to be honest we're not sure if we want to"
"How come?" He frowns confused. "Because Me and Faith had to grow up in the media and we never really got to be normal, like going out with friends or to the park and stuff like that without a whole bunch of people flashing cameras in our faces"
"And you don't want that for her?" He asks and I shake my head. "We want her to experience life without having that worry we had about being followed around and stuff. Plus with all those lies Julie told Faith about people trying to kidnap her as a baby. It really freaks us out the thought of it actually happening to Precious"
"So the masks are to protect her?"
"Mhm" I nod "why do you think it's too much?" I ask and he shakes his head. "I think your her father and you know what's best for her" he smiles and I smile back.

Faith's POV
"Is everything ok?" I ask as Michael comes back over to us. "Mhm.. everything's great" he smiles and pecks my lips "how my little princess doing?" He coos taking Precious from me and gives her a cuddle. "Umm... I think somebody wants to go back to mommy" he smiles about to hand her back "uh.. uh.. You know the deal. Whoever's holding her changes her" I giggle "but she never poops on you" he pouts playfully
"She must like when daddy changes her then" I giggle and kiss her temple then pecks his lips and head into the kitchen to see Janet, leaving him to it.
"She's soo cute" Janet coos "yeah. I still can't believe she's finally here" I smile "So... Precious? Your definitely sticking with that name?" LaToya asks coming over. "Yes. We're definitely sticking with that name" I fake a smile at her through pursed lips.
Ever since we got here LaToya has been throwing little bitchy comments at us here and there and it's really starting to get on my nerves.
"I think it's a beautiful name" Janet smiles ignoring her comments "She looks alot you both"
"You think so?" I smile. "Definitely! She has Michael's eyes"
"Just like you do" LaToya mumbles under her breath "Excuse me?" I frown, getting annoyed with her "nothing. I'm just saying you and Michael also look alike is all" she shrugs innocently.
"And that's a bad thing?" Michael chuckles walking into the kitchen and wraps his arms around me from behind "Where's the baby?" LaToya asks "Tito has her. I think he's her favourite" he chuckles slightly "hell no! I'M her favourite" Janet says leaving the kitchen making Michael and I giggle.
"Well we all know who's Faith's favourite uncle is" LaToya scoffs under her breath. "Of course we do" I smirk "nobody's better than uncle Michael" I smile sarcastically at her and peck his lips.
"Don't you two feel even a little bit guilty about what your doing?"
"About what?" Michael ask "no reason.. have you spoken to your mother yet?" She turns to me.
"What's going on?" Jackie interrupts as I'm about to speak. "Toya's being a bitch again" Michael rolls his eyes. "All I did was ask Faith if she's spoken to Julie" she says pretending to act innocent.
"You know they haven't" Jackie says sternly and Michael and I look at them both confused at the tension between them. "I think your daughters crying" Jackie turns to us and we both nod taking the hint and leave the room.

Jackie's POV
When Faith and Michael leave the room I close the door then turn my attention back to LaToya.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" I snap "me!? I'm not the one that just stole a new born baby and..."
"They didn't steal her! I went to their house and I handed her to them" So quit making out like they've done something wrong because they haven't" I frown.
"You handed her over.. not Julie and how could you even do that!? She's your daughter and you just gave her away like she was nothing"
"She's not mine.. not anymore" I mumble that last part "and it's not like I just dumped her in the street. She's with Michael and Faith and their her mother and Father"
"And what about Julie?" She raises an eyebrow "what about her?" I shrug. "She changed her mind about giving them the baby and nobody's seen her since she left here in labour.. with you and nobody's seen her since"
"So what"
"So what!? Where is she?"
"It doesn't matter where she is"
"Actually it does. You took that baby... your daughter and handed her over to Michael and Faith and yet Julie hasn't called the police or come here and tried to get her back or make any kind of contact since then. In fact she's just completely disappeared... Where is she?"
"It doesn't matter where she is! Now quit going on about it and quit getting at Faith and Michael!"
"Why? What are you hiding?"
"What the fuck did I just say!? Maybe you should try minding your own buisness for once... instead of getting into things that don't concern you!" I snap "but..."
"But nothing! This conversation is over" I cut her off and leave the room without giving her the chance to say anything else.

Michael's POV
"Is she ok?" I ask when Faith comes back into the room. "She's fast alseep" she whispers getting back into into bed with me and I wrap my arms around her.
"What do you think all that was about with Jackie and LaToya eariler?"
"I'm not sure. They probably just had an argument or something" I shrug.
I thought it was pretty weird too how Jackie and LaToya were looking at each other earlier, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get involved with whatever argument they were having. Me and my siblings have all been in many arguments over the years especially when we were younger and I know it never ends well for whoever's caught in the middle which was why I chose to stay out of it. I'm sure it's nothing serious anyway.
