Faith's POV

I'm in the nursery getting Precious ready for my mom coming over today and I'm really freaking out about it, I know she's a baby, but I think Precious can sense something's wrong too because she's seemed really clingy and upset today so I've been trying to put on a brave face for her.

I do feel guilty about how we got Precious and I know what we did was wrong, but Michael and I love her so much and the thought of losing her kills me and even though michael has been trying to reassure everything will be ok and this will all be over soon, I still lay awake at night crying at the thought of her being taken from us.

"You guys ready?" Michael asks coming into the room and I nod, not saying anything and he comes over and puts his arms around me, pulling me close and kisses my temple. "It's gonna be ok, I promise" he says softly. "How can you be so sure? What if the court side with my mom and..."

"They won't" he cuts me off. "Jackie signed those papers and is saying Julie did too and there's way she can prove that her signature was forged or anything else she's saying"

"But what if they do believe her?" I croak trying not to cry all over again. "They won't. We're her parents not Julie and not Jackie and we're the ones that have raised her and we take good care of her and the court's will see that we're the ones that she should be with and the way she was with you and treated you as a kid no judge in his right mind would make us hand our daughter over to that woman" he tries to reassure me.

Michael's POV

I've been doing everything I can to reassure Faith that everything is going to be ok, but the truth is I'm just as scared as she is that we could lose Precious, but I need to keep her calm as much as possible because all this stress really isn't good for her or our unborn baby.

I hate that all of this happened the way it did and I still can't believe I came close to doing what I was going to do that day, because that's not me. I'd never intentionally hurt somebody, even Julie and I can't believe that thought had even crossed my mind, let alone come close to actually doing it, but when Jackie pointed out I could lose Faith and Precious, something inside of me snapped and I'd do anything to keep them safe and with me.

Julie's POV

I'm on my way over to Michael and Faith's house and I'm really pissed that I have to drive all this way to go and see the kid just for an hour. They could have very easily brought her to me, but instead they have to be difficult about it, but hopefully the courts will make them hand her back soon and I won't have to do this drive anymore and then I'll be able to get a nanny to take the baby places and drop her off so I won't have this inconvenience of having to drive around everywhere like this.

I haven't actually seen what the baby looks like yet, because whenever Michael and Faith take her out in public they always put stupid masks on her which she won't be wearing once I get her. I won't get payed for photo's or offered any kind of realilty show with her face covered. I'm just hoping she's not ugly and that's the real reason they cover her face from the public.

I get to the house and I'm met at the gates by a two security guys. "We need to do a quick search before we can allow you any further" the first guy says. "Are you serious?" I frown. "I'm sorry, those are the instructions Mr and Mrs Jackson gave us" he shrugs "it's Mr Jackson and Ms Owens actually" I say sarcastically and he looks at me uninterested by my comment. "Ugh.. fine! Whatever" I sigh heavily rolling my eyes as the two check my car as well as me.

"I'm afraid you can't take this inside" the second guy says taking the tape recorder from my pocket. "Oh.. umm.. I completely forgot I had that" I lie. "Well it's lucky we found it for you then. Don't worry we'll keep it safe until you leave" he smirks and I scoff at him and turn away, making my way to the house.

"We agreed 10am, your five minutes late" Michael says letting me into the house. "Well if I didn't have to go through a security check first" I comment. "It's just a safety measure which we make everybody do before they come into the house" he shrugs "security for what? I'm not the one that steals baby's and kidnaps their mother" I say sarcastically and he doesn't answer. "So where is it then?" I shrug impatiently. "She is in there" he frowns pointing towards the living room. I go in and Faith is on the sofa holding the baby and I walk over and she hands her to me. "Have you missed mamma?" I coo at her and smirk slightly at Faith and she doesn't say anything and I go and sit on the seat opposite Faith and Michael. and take a good look at her for the first time.

"She's a little dark skinned, but not as much as Faith was, but it can easily be fixed like I did with Faith. Her nose is also a little wider, but again that's something that can be fixed when she's a little older, but other than those two things and the stupid name, which I will be changing, the baby is actually kind of cute.

"Are you just gonna sit there and stare at her for the whole hour? Or are you actually gonna talk to her and play with her?" Faith says with an attitude. "She's two months old. There's not really alot you can say or do with them at this age" I point out. "She's 3 and a half months, actually" Michael cuts in. "Silly me... I guess you lose track of time when you've been locked in a basement by your daughters father and uncle slash boyfriend" I say sarcastically and the baby starts crying. "It's ok. Mamma's here now though" I say looking at the baby. "What is that smell?" I scrunch my face. "She obviously needs changing" Faith rolls her eyes, getting up "I'll go get a diaper and stuff" Faith says leaving the room and I'm left alone with Michael. "How can you know when a baby needs changing?" He frowns confused. "I had nannies for that stuff" I shrug and he's about to speak when Faith's phone beeps and he takes it from the table and starts scrolling through her messages.

"You know it's rude to go through people messages?" I comment in a sarcastic tone. "Faith belongs to me and i'll check her messages any time I feel like it" he says with an attitude and continues reading and I don't say anything, taken aback slightly by his Faith 'belongs' to him comment.

"Who's Emily?" Michael asks suspiciously when Faith comes back. "I don't know" she shrugs. "Then when has someone called Emily just e-mailed you with a number asking you to call her?"

"No idea" she shrugs and hands me a diaper. "You want me to do it?" I look at her confused. "You wanted to spend time with her didn't you?" She shrugs and hands it over to me and I place the baby down on a changing mat and trying to figure out how to do it.

"I'll do it" Michael sighs heavily, rolling his eyes after leaving me struggling to work it out for a few moments and takes her from me and starts changing her. "I'm gonna have to put her in the bath for this one" he scrunches her face, taking the baby out of the room leaving me with Faith and she doesn't say anything and takes her phone of the arm of the chair and start reading her messages.

"Can I get a glass of water?" I say quickly as she's about to start replying and she gets up and leaves the room, luckily leaving her phone on the sofa and I quickly take it and see that she was in the middle of replying to the e-mail and quickly delete it and delete it from her trash so she can't get it back then put the phone back and sit back back in my seat before she gets back.

Michael's POV

After the hour is finally up, Julie leaves and Faith takes Precious into the kitchen to get her bottle and I follow behind her. "Are you ok?" I ask and she nods. "Don't pay any attention to what she was saying" I say softly, knowing she's upset about Julie keep referring to herself as mamma when she was talking to Precious"

"How can I not" she mumbles. "Because it doesn't matter what she says your Precious's mommy not her. She was just trying to get a rise out of you. Just like when she kept referring to me as your uncle" I point out. I know technically that's true, but it still pisses me off when some people refer to Faith and I as Uncle and neice.

"We just have to stay calm and not rise to it. Julie's gonna try and do anything to catch us out so we look like unfit parents and it's not gonna work" I smile at her through pursed lips and she doesn't say anything and I put my arms around her. "We're her mommy and Daddy, nobody else. Just like we're this little one's" I smile, gently rubbing her tummy. "DNA doesn't mean anything. You and I both know that" I chuckle slightly and for the first time today I see her smile slightly.

After putting Precious down for a nap I go into my bedroom and Faith is sitting at the edge of the bed, going through her phone with a confused look on her face.

"Is everything ok?" I ask walking over to her. "I was gonna reply to that women that e-mailed earlier to find out who she is, but her message has gone from my inbox" she frowns confused still looking through her emails. "Have you deleted it by mistake?" I ask and she shakes her head. "I checked the trash and it's not there either"

"I'm sure she'll e-mail back if it's important" I shrug. "I guess so" she sighs contently and puts her phone on the bedside table and lays down and I lay down next to her and pull her in close to me.

Emily's POV

"Who the fuck do you think you are trying to get involved in my buisness" Julie snaps down the phone, before I can even say hello.  "I was doing the right thing" I say sternly "Well your little stunt didn't work, because Faith deleted your email" she says cockily down the phone. "You mean you got into her emails and deleted it" I scoff. "Listen to me you fucking bitch! You better stay the hell out of my business. I'm not playing games with you"

"I'm not scared of you any more" I say sternly, shaking my head. "Well you should be. You have no idea what I'm capable of and..."

"I know exactly what your capable of. You nasty evil, witch. And I'm gonna do what ever it takes to make sure that Michael and Faith get to keep that baby. I don't care if they stole her from you or not. I'm glad they did, because atleast she's away from you and they'll be damn better parents than you! Who knows what you'll do to that poor baby"

"You better stay the fuck away from them!"

"Or what!? Like I said. Im not affraid of you anymore and I'm not gonna sit back and let you..."

"Well you should be!" She cuts me off. "Because I swear, if you do anything or even speak to them, then it will be the last thing you ever do!"

"Then at least i'll go to the grave with a clear conscience and know I did my best to protect my grandchildren"
