Ocean's POV

I'm getting ready and I'm still trying to find something to wear. "You ready to go?" Michael asks coming into the room."I will when I find some pants that actually fit!" I frown throwing yet more clothes on the floor. "We don't have to go today if your not ready" he sighs sitting on the edge of the bed. "I have to know if it's him!" I snap getting more stressed.

"Do you know what your gonna say?"

"I have know idea" I sigh walking over and sitting on his lap. "Are you sure really you wanna go today? Because you've barley slept last night and maybe you should take some time to clear you head and think about what you wanna say and..."

"If I don't go today, then they'll just be something else next time. I need to see if it's really my brother or just a coincidence"

"But what if it's not? It could just be a coincidence what Ray was saying?" I sigh knowing there's a high chance Ray was talking about a different Robert. But if I don't go now then it's always going to be in the back of my mind.

"I'm home!" We hear Jermaine call and I quickly throw on one of Michael sweat shirts and a pair of jogging bottoms and we head downstairs.

***

We didn't tell Jermaine about Ray and even though I was pissed at first I'm actually glad Michael brought him here. He's lead me to the brother I've been so desperate to see for years and knowing he's been trying to find me too is making me even more nervous.

"We're here" Michael says cutting me off from my thoughts. I look around and it's a really old run down apartment building. "Are you sure this is the right address?" I ask and Michael nods. "You ready to go inside?"

"Let's just wait here a moment" I say nervously trying to steady my nerves before going inside. I still have no clue what to say.

We wait in the car for about 20 minutes and I see Ray coming out of the building. "Get down!" I whisper. Pulling Michael down with me so Ray doesn't see us. "This is definitely the right building" I mutter getting up. "Ok" I sigh and take a deep breath "let's go"

****

It takes awhile for somebody to answer the door, but when he does I stand nervously looking at Robert. He looks so much thinner and paler than the last time I saw him but that's definitely my big brother! "Ocean?" He whispers looking just and surprised as me then pulls me in close. "I can't believe it's really you!" He smiles excitedly still in shock. "Um... Come on in! make yourself at home!" He motions Michael and I to go inside. We sit on the sofa and I look around. I never imagined Robert living in a place like this. The whole place is filthy and had a weird smell. "How did you find me?"

"Um... Ray is and old friend of Michael's" I smile. "Your Michael?" He points and Michael nods "we used to work together a while back"

"So are you two... You know? Boyfriend and girlfriend?" He smirks playfully wiggling his eyebrows. "Umm... Kind of" Michael shrugs and smiles through pursed lips. "Kind of?" He raises his eyebrow at us. "We're actually husband and wife" I tell him and Robert stares at us wide eyed. "How the fuck can you be married? Your still a baby!"

"Not anymore" I giggle slightly.  And he stares at us opened mouthed in shock for a moment. "Congratulations!" He finally says smiling coming over to hug me. And when he does I suddenly get this weird feeling in my stomach and freeze slightly realising who he is. "Are you feeling ok baby?" Michael looks at me concerned. "Mhm" I nod faking a smile so I don't attract attention "so... any nieces and nephews I should know about too?" He chuckles. "Well..." Michael begins to speak but I cut him off quickly "No! No babies" I quickly say and Michael glances over at me confused but doesn't say anything.
