Faith's POV

It's been a month since my mom and Dad went public about their relationship and alot of people have been ok with it, but there's also been alot of rumours and gossip being spread by the media since then too.

The media keep saying They keep getting information from an 'anonymous' source, but will all know it's  Enid that's been giving them all this information because even though some of the things are lies, there's been things said that are true and only close family know about.

Michael and I have an interview today so we can discuss all the rumours and gossip and I'm pretty pissed off that the family decided that me and Michael should be the ones doing the interview since they all know how much we hate doing interviews, but we agreed to do it because some of the rumours and other stuff is about us too. We've tried ignoring it, but when there's constantly new stories being written about you every day it gets harder to ignore it and  it's really been affecting Michael the most and we just want to try and put and end to it all the best we can.

After getting ready I go downstairs and Michael is in the living room.

"Precious will you please quit messing around? I don't have time for this today" He frowns and sighs heavily trying to calm himself and get Precious ready, but she continues giggling and kicking her arms and legs around.

"Are you being silly for daddy?" I coo going over, taking Precious from him "I'll finish up while you go get ready" I smile "I'm sorry" he mumbles, looking guilty for getting annoyed with her "I don't know what's wrong with me lately" he sighs. "Your just stressed that's all. Just try and relax a little more"

"I can't just relax. We have take Precious and Mikey to my mother's, then do this interview and then I have to go to the studio and then.."

I peck his lips cutting him "let's just concentrate on getting dressed first" I smile and he smiles back slightly.

"I just don't see why we have to be the ones doing all the interviews when it's your mom and dad who it's mainly about" he shrugs, getting irritated again. "Because my dad's busy with his lawyers and the whole Enid stuff and my mums been stressed out trying to work out how to take care of Brandi and Siggy. I don't wanna be doing this either, but everybody didn't really give us much choice"

"How can she not know how to take care of them? She raised you"  he frowns confused. "Not really. She took care of me during filming and stuff, but once the cameras were off, I had like eight nannies taking care of everything"

"Eight nannies for one kid!?" He widens his eyes "mhm" I nod "she's never been hands on with me and that's why she's finding it difficult"

"Is that why you were always against us having a nanny?" He asks and I nod. "I never really had that close bond with my mom and I don't want that with my own kids" I explain he nods understandably and pecks my lips. "Well you don't have to worry about all that. You have a great bond with Precious and Mikey" he smiles then turns and takes Precious for me, giving her a cuddle. "I'm sorry daddy was being a grumpy butt" he says Softly and she wraps her little arms around him and gives him a kiss on his cheek.

"Can we be best friends again?" He smiles and she sticks her tongue out at him, making us both giggle.

Jackie's POV

"How long will you be gone?" Julie asks nervously as I'm getting ready to leave.

"I have to do some stuff at the studio and then meet with my lawyer and Enid and her lawyer after so I'm gonna be a few hours"

"But what if there's a problem? They don't listen to me the way they do with you and..."

"You'll be fine. Your great with Siggy and Brandi" I reassure her "when their not throwing tantrum at me" she mumbles "their just testing to see what they can get away with. all kids do it and keep in mind everything that's gone on. It's been really stressful for them too" I say softly and she nods and doesn't say anything for a moment.

"What's this meeting with her about anyway?" She asks changing the topic. "It's about the divorce and custody and stuff"

"They won't give her custody will they? She walked out on them plus she hasn't even attempted to see them in like a month" she frowns "I'm not sure, but she can try and take them and at the least have contact, but to be honest she seems more concerned about how much money she'll get from the divorce"

"Doesn't she get enough from the stories she been selling?" Julie scoffs. "We can't prove that was her and..."

"Sure we can" she cuts me off "if you hide a recorder on you then get her alone and..."

"I'm not gonna do that and neither will you" I cut her off "I thought all that reporter stuff was behind you now?"

"It is, but that doesn't give her the right to say all that stuff and some of it isn't even true and..."

"And Michael and Faith are doing an interview this morning to try and do some damage control and hopefully put a stop to all this for now" I cut her off. "I'm gonna have to go, but i'll be back as soon as I can and i'll leave my phone switched on incase you need me ok?" I smiles and she nods nervously "You'll be fine" I smile and peck her lips.

Julie's taken care and Siggy an Brandi alone for an hour or so at a time, but today is the first Julie's watched the kids by herself for a whole day and she's been really nervous all morning. She is trying her best and Brandi seems happy with her, but Siggy's still having some difficulties dealing with everything and has been trying to test Julie every chance he gets. I spoke to him earlier about it and have told him to be on his best behaviour for Julie while I'm gone and I'm really hoping everything goes ok for her while I'm out.

Michael's POV

I felt really bad about leaving Mikey and Precious with my mother, because I still feel bad about getting stressed out with Precious. I didn't yell at her or anything like that, but I still feel back about getting annoyed with her. Faith keeps telling me I need to try and relax more and take time to myself, but it's really hard when I'm under so much pressure trying to get my album finished and then having all this crap with the media and the only downtime I get is when I get to spend time with Faith and the kids and even then I don't get that much time with them and when I do, my phone is constantly ringing. Faith brings the kids to the studio from time to time and sends me little videos through out the day so I don't feel left out which helps me a little, but it's not the same as actually being there with them.

Faith and I are sat in the dressing room talking and somebody comes in to let us know it's time for our interview.

"Ok, let's get this over with" I sigh, rolling my eyes as we get up from our seats. "I seriously hate this woman. She's made it pretty clear how she feels about us " I frown. "Sarah was my mother's best friend once you know?"

"yeah and even Julie told her to fuck off" I shrug and she chuckles slightly under her breath.

The interviews started and already Sarah is pissing  me off.

"So how did you feel when you heard about the affair between Jackie Jackson and your mother? Was it a difficult time for you?" Sarah asks Faith "not really. Jackie's my dad so it wasn't that difficult finding out their together Faith shrugs. "So you were accepting of your father cheating?"

"He wasn't cheating. Him and Enid had already broken up"

"Well according to sources. You step mother walked in on the two of them. The same day your son was born infact"

"Enids not her step mother and your sources are clearly wrong. He never cheated that was just a rumor" I shrug "speaking of rumours. "There has been an anonymous source who claims to be close to you that is claiming that your two children aren't biologically yours and that you had a surrogate for your first child and a sperm donor for the second"

"We're perfectly capable of conceiving our own kids. Again that's just a ridiculous roumor" Faith frowns "if its just a rumour then why refused to show DNA proof to the public" she shrugs "because it's nobody's buisness. Why don't you show proof about your kids?" I shrug with an attitude. "This isn't really about me" she smiles through pursed lips. "But you think it's ok to ask us to show proof?"

"Speaking of proof" she says trying to change the topic again. "Theirs been certain theories regarding you parents relationship" she turns to Faith. "Some theories are claiming that the whole thing was some kind of publicity stunt and that Jackie is actually not your father and the whole thing was made up to get attention for your family" she turns back to me.

"Well obviously that's not true since we showed DNA results clearly saying that he is and my family and my don't need a publicity stunt to get them attention" I shrug and she doesn't say anything for a moment and by the look on her face I'm guessing she didn't know the part when we posted a video online.

"So how did your father take the news when he found out about you being in a sexual relationship with his brother... your uncle and how did the rest of your family for that matter" she turns to Faith. "They got over it and we're all fine and..."

"They got over it?" She looks at her skeptiaclly. "That's what she said" I sigh, getting bored with the same old questions. "It's kind of difficult to believe that your family would just 'get over it' especially something like this"

"Well they did our family isn't judgment and are very accepting and loving"

"A little too loving" she mumbles under her breath

"Excuse me?" I frown "I just meant that there's a line between being a loving family and being closed to them and being too loving and especially in a sexual way"

"That's you opinion, but most people don't actually care about that" Faith shrugs. "You don't ever think to yourselves that what your doing is wrong?"

"Why should we? We haven't done anything wrong?" I frown. "You know maybe if you concentrated more own your own relationships instead of worrying and ours, you wouldn't have so many divorces behind you" Faith says sarcastically. "This interview isn't really about me and..."

"Then why don't you ask us some questions that we haven't already addressed" I shrug "I'm just asking what the world wants to know and I'm sure your fans would like to know..."

"My fans already know we're together and as for the rest of the world, they don't give a shit because it doesn't effect their lives in any way. Unlike how it clearly does yours" I frown  "it was just a simple question" she says trying to act innocent for the cameras. "Well you got your simple answer so I guess the interview is over now" I say getting up from my seat and take Faith's hand pulling her up to leave with me. "Well if that's how you feel" she fakes a smile for the cameras "it was nice meeting you both again and..."

"Yeah, yeah. Go fuck yourself" I cut her off as I walk of the stage with Faith. Leaving Sarah sitting akwardly.

"What was that all about!?" Faith says suprised as we're leaving.

"I've tried being nice to people like her and trying to ignore all the shit the press say about me but I'm sick of it! Not once do those people ever mention anything about any of the good things I've done. They just constantly say the bad and make up stuff and never mention anything I've done to help people and I'm sick and tierd of it and I'm not taking it anymore!" I snap then sigh heavily, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to flip out. I can let most things go, but when she was talking about you and our kids that way, I just snapped"

"Which most people would"

"You didn't" I shrug "yeah, because I barely managed to get a word in. Plus I was kinda shocked at you getting so pissed"

"You think I should go and apologise?"

"Hell no! Don't worry about it. It makes a nice change from me flipping out and storming off the interview" she shrugs "infact that was the first interview I did where I didn't have an attitude" she chuckles slightly making me do the same.

I do feel bad about snapping at the interviewer like that, but I hate when people talk about Faith and my kids. I can easily ignore the rest of that crap, but when it's about my family I can't step back and let it go.

"Why don't you take the day off from the studio today?" Faith suggests and I shake my head. "I can't. Quincy expecting me to be there in an hour and.."

"So call him and tell him you won't be there today" she cuts me off "your clearly stressed out and and maybe spending the day at home relaxing will help"

"Quincy gonna be pissed when I call"

"Well he's gonna have to get over it" she shrugs. "Your stressed out and you need a break and your health come before anything else" she smiles at me through pursed lips "it would be nice to spend the whole day with you and the kids" I smile back and kiss her softly then call Quincy to let him know I won't be going to the studio today.

Jackie's POV

"Why don't you just quit all this bullshit and sign the damn papers instead of all this?" I frown

"I think it's best we wait until our lawyers are present before we talk" Enid says smugly. "Why are you doing all this?" I frown.

"Why!?" She snaps "You've done nothing but fuck me over since day one. Why should I make things easy for you?"

"I get you being upset about me cheating on you and wanting to get at me, but why leak all that crap about Faith and Micheal they didn't do anything to you and neither did Siggy or Brandi and..."

"Actually that little brat of yours is to blame for all of this!" She snaps cutting me off. "No it's not! Her being my daughter isn't her fault. She didn't ask to be born and me cheating on you wasn't her fault either. That was mine and Julie decision" I frown.

"Just like it was your decision to have kids" she frowns "I told you I didn't want kids or get married. I was happy how we were, just the two of us and you pushed and pushed me over and over again until I gave and now I know why! You didn't want me or the kids we have together. You wanted Faith and Julie and you used me as a back up and now you have your first choice you just threw me away like I was nothing!" She snaps and I don't say anything.

"Why don't you just admit it. You used me to try and compensate for not having Faith and Julie" she shrugs and I sigh heavily. "Fine. I used you and I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean I never loved you or that don't care about you. We were a family and we have two kids together and nothings going to change that"

"You don't do what you did to people you love or care about" she frowns "and I'm sorry for what I did"

"No your not. You just want me to stop spreading rumours about your precious family" she scoffs "I do want you to stop spreading rumors about my family, but I am sorry for how I treated you and I want us to be able to work something out where the two of us can be civilized to each other. If you wanna hate me that's fine, but don't punish other people and don't punish our kids either. It's been like a month and they haven't heard a word from you. They miss you"

"Maybe I don't miss them" she mumbles and I look at her confused. "I never wanted kids Jackie, but you constantly pressured me and I gave in to you because I loved you, but that doesn't change how I feel"

"What are you saying you don't want to be apart of their lives!?" I widen my eyes, shocked that she's saying this. "I've tried being a mother and a wife and it wasn't for me and I wanna start a new life without all that"

"If that's what you want then we can work with that. We can go in there and sign the divorce papers and I'll take custody of Siggy and Brandi and we can work out times and days and stuff for when you want to see them and..."

"And then I just go away and leave you all alone to live happily ever after?" She says sarcastically.

"You just said that's what you wanted" I frown confused. "What I want is for you to pay for what you and your family did to me!"

"What do you want me to do!? I've just offered you exactly what you wanted!" I snap getting annoyed with her and she doesn't say anything for a moment.

"There is one thing you could do" she smirks.

"What?" I shrug "You do this one little thing and then i'll sign the divorce papers and give you full custody and leave you all alone"

"Do what?" I frown confused. "Maybe we she go somewhere a little more private and talk" she smirks and I nod confused and also nervous, unsure about what she's going to ask me to do.

Michael's POV

After our interview, Faith and I picked up Precious and Mikey from my mother's and went straight home. I've really enjoyed spending the whole day with just Faith and the kids. I've been so busy with everything lately I haven't been able to spend as much time with them as I'd like to and today's really helped me relax.

The three of us are snuggled up on the sofa watching movies and I get a phone call from Jackie and leave the room to answer it.

"Hey! How it going" I smile down the phone "not good"

"Why what's happend?" I ask and he sighs heavily.

"Are you serious!?" I gasp and that happy and relaxed mood I was in quickly drops when he tells me what's happened with Enid.
