Michael's POV

I'm getting ready to go to the studio and I'm really excited about taking Faith with me. I'm always happy when she's there with me, but today is different. I know how much Faith loves to sing, but because of Julie she was never allowed to sing in pubic. I haven't told her yet because I want it to be a surprise, but I'm going to ask her to sing on the track of 'we are the world' not only will it finally give her the chance to sing and be able to share her beautiful voice with the world, but it would also be good for her after everything that happend yesterday. She hasn't said anything about it since she hung up on her mother and I'm guessing it was the shock of everything.

After I've finished my shower I go to my room and Faith is getting dressed and she's still quiet. "you ok?" I ask softly wrapping my arms around her from behind and kiss the side of her neck "mhm" she nods and I break awhile slightly. "you don't feel guilty do you? About what we did last night?... Or this morning do you?"

"of course not" she sighs turning to face me. "good. Because I'd don't" I smile slightly pecking her lips. "do you wanna to talk about it?" I ask softly "I still don't get it. My dad.. Well I thought he was my dad hasn't really been around since I was baby. So why not tell me? And why didn't Jackie tell me? And why spend all her time trying to look for gossip to hurt you to get at Jackie? when she could have said this stuff about him? And if she didn't want me to know then why let me to meet you? She must have known I'd find out if we were talking and..."

"relax" I cut her off placing my hands on her shoulders. "Jackie said you can call him anytime and he'll answer any questions you have. And you meeting me probably didn't matter to her, because I couldn't have told you anyway.. I didn't know either remember?"

"oh yeah" she frowns remembering she walked in on Jackie telling me. "do you wanna speak to him?" I ask and she shrugs "I do, but I don't. I know that sounds weird"

"that doesn't sounds weird" I say softly. "You've just had this huge bomb dropped on you and you have alot of questions. But if your not ready to speak with Jackie yet. He'd understand. You have alot to take in. Just try and concentrate on today ok?" I smile and she looks at me confused. "why what's today?"

"it's a surprise" I smile kissing her softly then break away. "so you better finish getting ready so we can go"

Faith's POV

I didn't sleep much last night, going over and over everything in my head. My moms called me again this morning and has left me a whole bunch of messages, but I still haven't spoken to her yet. My mom lied and done some shitty things before, but this whole thing still doesn't make sense. why did she do this to me. I understand if whatever was going on between her and Jackie ended badly and her not wanting the media or my dad to know, but I'm her daughter and I had the right to know where I come from. When I was listening to what Jackie was saying to Michael it did upset me when he said not to tell me, but I'm guessing he was just in shock or something at the time like I wad. I also heard Jackie say that my mom didn't want me to find out, but if she didn't then why would she tell me to spend time with Michael to get the dirt on him, surly she would have known there would be a chance that I would have found out, Jackie turning up at Michael's house like that could have happened at anytime, maybe that's why she told me not to speak to Michael any more. I do want to speak to my mom and Jackie and try and get these answers, but there's so many things I don't know where to start. 

I know some people would think it's wrong for Michael and I to stay together after we found out the truth and in a way they'd be right. He's my uncle and I'm his niece, but it's not as simple as that. I love Michael and he loves me and I can't just switch that off. Michael hasn't really mentioned anything about what Jackie said and in a way it's like he's pretending it didn't happen, but then again it make sense that wouldn't effect him the same way it's effected me, because it wasn't him that just found out that everything he's ever known was a lie.

I'm waiting in the dressing room while Michael is talking to Quincy about something and my phone begins ringing and once again it's my mom and I sigh taking a deep breath knowing I can't avoid her forever.

"I've been calling and messaging you all night why wouldn't you pick up!?" My mom snaps, not even giving me the chance to say hello. "I've kinda had a lot of things on my mind" I say with and attitude. "look I know your a little upset about the whole Jackie thing, but if you just come home. We can sit down and...."

" a little upset! You've lied to me my whole life and..."

"I didn't lie I just... Didn't tell you the truth, but you know now, so why don't you just come home and..."

"I'm not coming home" I cut her off. "please don't tell me, your still with Michael" she sighs "like you care" I croak. "Faith, you can't be with him. You do realise that?"

"well I am" I say with an attitude. "Do you realise how messed up this is?"

"we haven't done anything wrong" I croak trying not to get upset. "haven't done anything wrong!? Faith your 17 and having sex with your uncle! It's disgusting and wrong and..."

"we didn't know that at the time" I cut her off. "well you do now. So you and him have to end things between you both and you need to come home"

"no. You've done nothing but lie to me since day one and.. "

"and what about Michael?" She cuts me off. "he hasn't done anything" I frown. "apart from seducing his underage niece!"

"he didn't know about Jackie either"

"is that what he told you? what makes you so sure he didn't know? he knew you were underage and it didn't stop him. And if he did only just find out, it clearly isn't bothering him that much"

"I was there when Jackie told him and I'm going to be 18 in a few months. So it won't matter"

"of course it'll matter! He's your uncle! Do you have any idea what people will think of you if this ever got out!?"

"It won't and don't care even if it does" I shrug down the phone "well you should care! And you need to understand just how sick and messed up you and him being together is and..."

I cut her off hanging up the phone, not wanted to hear her anymore and I feel someone's arms wrap around me from behind, making me jump. "relax, baby girl. It's only me" Michael chuckles slightly then turns me around noticing something's wrong. "what's happened?" He asks softly. "my mom called and she said all this stuff about me an-and you and that what were doing is..."

"we're not doing anything wrong" he cuts me off. "we love each other and we're together. It's not like we grew up together and knew about Jackie and your mother. If we did and we'd known about it maybe we wouldn't have these feelings for each other, but we do. We're not the ones that did anything wrong here"

"but she said that if this ever got out and people found out about us they'd think we were...."

"well it won't. Your moms not gonna tell anybody, she cares too much for her image to do that and neither will Jackie. Do you remember what he said to you? He said nothing has to change and nobody has to know unless that's what you want so don't worry about her" he smiles and pecks my lips. "I um... think ready to talk to him" I mumble. "Jackie?" He asks and I nod. "your sure don't wanna leave it for few days?"

"I need to know"

"Ok. I'll give you his number when we get home. Best to do it more private. I don't want you upsetting yourself here" he smiles "are you ready?" He asks changing the topic. "for what?" I frown confused. "for your surprise silly" he chuckles slightly taking my hand.

Julie's POV

I can't believe Faith is actually still with Michael after she found out the truth. Any normal person would have left and felt disgusted and even ashamed after finding out they'd just slept with their own flesh and blood, but when I was on the phone to her it sounded more like she was proud. I really hoped telling Jackie about the two of them would have helped and he would have gotten the two of them apart not just tell her and then leave her with him to it.

I'm on my way over to see Jackie again and even though it pains me to say this. I need his help. If I can't get through to Faith then I need him to get though to Michael, before this goes any further.

**********

Michael's POV

Personally I think it would be better if Faith left it a few days before talking to Jackie and her mother. She's still in shock about what happened yesterday and needs time to take everything in before adding more.

"she good!" Karen says bringing me from my thoughts. And I nod smiling, watching Faith singing. Her whole face lit up when I told her I wanted her to be on the track. She's always wanted to sing publically and now she's with me, Julie can't stop her and she can finally do what makes her happy. "she sounds alot like you sister Janet when she sings don't you think?"

"mhm" I smile through pursed lips. "and how do you think it's gonna go if her mother finds out?" She raises an eyebrow at me. "well the song is for charity and is gonna be out there for all the public to buy, so she probably will find out" I chuckle slightly. "is this your way of pissing Julie off or something? Because you know it will" she frowns. "well she's pretty pissed already for sleeping with her daughter. So I don't think  this will bother her too much" I shrug. "you what!!?" She gasp. "Please tell me that was just a joke"

"It not a joke" I sigh turning to her "Faith and I are dating and..."

"having sex!?" She cuts me off "We love each other and we wanna be together. And yes we are having sex"

"Michael..."

"I know there's a whole bunch of reasons we shouldn't be together you don't have to list them again" I cut her off "but, I love her... And she loves me" I smile turning back to Faith as she's finishes singing. "Michael, you can't be serious about...."

"hey! your were amazing!" I smile as Faith comes over and Karen shakes her head at me walking away. "what's wrong with her?" Faith asks confused watching Karen walking away "nothing. She's just in a bad mood today" I shrug.

We get to my dressing room and I lock the door behind us. "so, did you like your surprise" I smile pulling her into me. "I loved it!" She smiles back putting her arms around my neck and kisses me softly and I pull her closer deepening our kiss.

Faith's POV

"are you sure?" Michael asks softly as we're sitting on the sofa and I nod. "I'm sure" I smile nervously and he hands me his phone. I stare at the screen looking at the name "what do I say?" I look at Michael nervously. "just say, whatever comes in your head. Just try to relax. He not gonna be expecting a huge heart to heart, the first time you speak to him" he smiles reassuringly through pursed lips and I sigh and take a deep breath and press call.

"hello?" I hear after the second ring "I WANT ANSWERS!" I yell out of nowhere an hang up. And Michael looks at me confused. "I got nervous!" I shrug "maybe we should write something down" he chuckles and his phone starts ringing "it's Jackie" he turns to me. "why is he calling?" I whisper. "probably because you just called and hung up on him. Why are you whispering" he chuckles, whispering back.

"hello?" Michael answers after a few rings. "yeah, yeah everything's fine. Faith called and hold on..."

"are you ready to talk to him" he turns handing me the phone. and I take a deep breath and take it from him.

"hi" I say in a much softer tone this time and Michael puts his arms around me, making me feel more relaxed.

**********

Jackie's POV

I smile to myself as I finish my call with Faith. She wants to meet with me tomorrow so we talk and I can answer her questions. Even though it was just one call and only lasted a few minutes (if you don't count the first time when she hung up) it gave me a great feeling inside knowing that she reached out to me and wants to see me again. I know it's going to be a little awkward at first especially considering the circumstances, but Faith calling and asking if we can meet again me means alot to me.

My thoughts are disturbed when there's a knock at the door. "what do you want this time I roll my eyes at Julie, stepping aside so she can come inside.

"why did you leave Faith with Michael!?"

"what was I suppose to do? Drag her out?" I shrug. "if that's what it took yes! Faiths our daughter and Michael's your brother! Surly you can see how wrong this is!" She frowns. "of course I do! But I'm not the one that did this. If you hadn't let them meet then none of this would have happened" I point out. "oh so this is my fault your brothers a sick little pervert!?" She snaps at me "no he's not! He didnt know Faith was his niece!" I snap back at her. "but he knew she was only 17 which is underage! and he knows now, and he's still with her!"

"you can't expect them to just stop having feelings for each other, it doesn't work that way"

"but you could have done something! Not just tell Faith your her father then walk out. I told you, because I thought you would speak to Michael and make him see sense, but obviously that was too much for you" she scoffs "I'd just met my daughter for the first time and had to tell her I was her real father and it broke her heart knowing she's been lied to all these years so no! I didn't speak to Michael"

"Are gonna?" She shrugs. "I'm meeting Faith tomorrow and..."

"your what?"

"I just got off the phone to her. She wants us to meet so we can talk. And I'm going over to Michaels house tomorrow to see her"

"and your gonna talk them round and make they see sense, that they can't be together right?"

"they'd just had this bomb dropped on them and yesterday wasn't the best time to try and get them away from each other"

"but you will tomorrow?"

"of course" I lie faking a smile
