Ocean's POV

I'm sat in the kitchen eating breakfast watching my mother attempt to feed DJ. "So what time will you be going to Sarah's?" She asks "not until this afternoon"

"Are you planning on taking your kid with you?" My father shrugs. I'm about to answer when my mother cuts me off. "No she won't be"

"I don't mind taking him with me" I smile and she shakes her head "well I do! He won't settle in a strange house and I don't want him around people I don't know"

"Well can I take him to the park for awhile before I go?" She's about to speak and my father quickly cuts her off "of course you can. Your mother could do with the break"

"I want him back by lunch time!" She says sternly and I nod agreeing with her then quickly head out before giving her a chance to change her mind.

Michael's POV

I'm on my way to the park to meet Ocean and DJ and I see Joseph walking towards me. I turn to go the other direction but he sees me. "I thought I warned you about coming back here!" He frowns walking over to me. "I just came to see Ocean and DJ I haven't been anywhere near your..."

"Why can't you just leave that poor girl alone?" He cuts me off. "Haven't you done enough damage to her? Just let them get on with their lives" I'm about to speak and he cuts me off again putting his hand up. "I don't want to hear anymore of your pathetic excuse and if I see you anywhere near my house or my family I will call the police and have you locked up again" he says sternly then walks off before giving me a chance to speak.

I get to the park and Ocean and DJ are sitting on the grass waiting for me. "Hey buddy, daddy's missed you!" I smile picking him up then kiss Ocean and sit on the grass joining them. "Is everything ok?" Ocean asks sensing there's something wrong. "Mhm" I fake a smile and turn to play with DJ. "What's happened?" She asks raising and eyebrow. "I just saw Joseph" I mumble "what!? Are you serious. If my mom finds out I let you near DJ she'll..."

I shake my head cutting her off "he didn't mention anything about your parents. He just said that if I go near his house or his family he'll call the police and..."

"And what?" She asks concerned "he said I've put you through enough and that I should leave the two of you alone" she sighs pulling me close to her seeing how upset I am.

"So how's everything going at home?" I ask changing the subject. "Well my mother still had know idea I've been sneaking DJ food and can't work out while DJ isn't eating"

"Are you still sneaking him little bits of sugar?"

"Mhm" she smiles he's been keeping her up all night and driving her crazy during the day" she giggles "we need to up are game" I smile handing her a small bottle of pills "it's melatonin. Just crush two of them up and sneak it into her drink every chance you get"

"I'm not trying to kill her!" I chuckle slightly shaking my head "it won't kill her it'll just make her drowsy a little. If DJs hyper all day and keeping her awake all night plus she thinks he's not eating the courts will see she can't take care of him"

Sherri's POV

After Ocean brings DJ back she sets off the her friend Sarah's house for the night. "Have you noticed she seems a little strange today" I turn to Jessica "how do you mean?"

"She's seems overly keen about spending the night at her friends house and even making you a cup of tea before she left. She never does that" I frown suspiciously "she's just trying to keep me sweet so I don't change my mind about letting her stay at Sarah's that's all" she yawns "you look exhausted"
