Love hurts?

The brightest star

Michael's POV

It's finally Saturday and I'm finishing getting ready. "Why don't you stay here today and I'll go pick up DJ for us and bring him here" I suggest to Ocean. "But he's being baptised today remember?" She looks at me confused. "Yeah I know" I smile "And that's why I  don't want your parents upsetting you. Especially today" I tell her softy and she agrees. "Today's DJs special day" she smiles and I nod. "Be careful though!" She warns me. "I will. I promise I won't even go inside"

I head downstairs and let Jermaine know I'm leaving and ask him to keep an eye on Ocean until I get back. "Are you sure you know what your doing?" He asks and I nod. "She just needs some time to relax away from everything that's all" I smile. Then head out.

When I get there I knock on the door and Jessica looks around for Ocean. "I thought you were both coming" she frowns "Nope. just me. Ocean's waiting at the house, can you please bring DJ out?" I ask trying to hurry this along. "Gabby's not here yet, she has to be here for the hand overs" she smirks "Fine!"  I roll my eyes and sigh waiting outside. By my car. The postman comes by with a delivery and Jessica shouts me over. "Sign for this" she frowns and hands me a pen. "Sign for it yourself!" I frown. "I don't sign anything without a lawyer present and the longer I'm out here the longer it takes me to get Duncan ready"

"Fine! Whatever. Just hurry up!" I huff, signing for the package, getting more and more impatient.

Gabby finally shows up and explains we have to bring DJ back by 6pm and I drive off to pick Ocean up and take them both to the church. It took me awhile to try and convince a priest to baptise DJ at such short notice, even when I explained about Ocean being a little ill at the moment, they all still said it would take months. Eventually I had to bribe one and give him $100 to do it today.

"And your defiantly sure he's safe now?" Ocean asked the priest after he finishes baptising DJ and he nods. "Your son is completely safe now. The devil cannot take anybody who's been blessed" he smiles. "What about me and Michael?"

"We were baptised as babies, we're fine" I assure her and she looks back at the priest. "Once someone's been blessed your safe and the devil can't turn them into one of his demons. It doesn't wear off over time" he explains to her and she starts to feel more relaxed. Even though the priest knew what Ocean was saying about demons and Devils was impossible he went along with it anyway like I asked him to.

Ocean's POV

After we finished getting DJ baptised, we drive off and I notice Michael has gone the wrong way. "You missed the turn, the house is back that way"

"We're not going home. Not tonight anyway" he smiles through pursed lips and turns and start driving through the woods then stops the car and the end of a path "C'mon we have to walk the rest of the way" he says taking DJ from the car handing him to me then gets DJs stuff "ok! Let's go" he coos at DJ and starts walking and I follow behind him still confused as fuck. "Michael, if your planning on murdering us out here I swear to God we're coming back to haunt you!" I tell him and he starts giggling. "I'm not gonna murder you!" He rolls his eyes playfully "C'mon inside" he smiles opening the door to and old cabin in the middle of nowhere. "Here we are!" He smiles.

"What is it?" I mumble, looking around. "Well... I've noticed you've been a little stressed out lately, so I thought you could do with a few days away. No drama, no people coming back and bringing up the past. Just us" he smiles pecking my lips.

Michael's POV

A friend from work told me awhile ago about a cabin he and his family have. It's in the middle of nowhere and there's a beautiful lake right by the cabin and they come here when they wanna get away from everything. I didn't go into details but I mentioned Ocean being stressed a lot lately and he let me borrow his cabin for a few days.

So far everything's been going great it's so peaceful and relaxing here and it's great to spend the time just the three us playing and relaxing without any interruptions.

We've just finished dinner and I look over at the time. "We um... We should get going" I sigh not wanting this day to end. "We have to get take DJ back before six" Ocean doesn't say anything but pulls DJ in close to her and I can see in her eyes she's just as heartbroken as I am about having to hand him back over. "Do we really have to?" She croaks trying not to cry And I nod pursing me lips. "I wish we didn't but we don't have a choice"

"We could leave... We have him now. If we just go and...."

"We can't" I croak trying not to cry either. "If we do that you know your mother will call the police" I say softly. "But he's our son! If we go and don't tell anybody..."

"We'll be arrested for abduction" I cut her off. As much as want to agree with Ocean and just run away and leave with DJ, but if we do we could lose him for good. "This won't be forever" I reassure her. We'll get him back. If Gabby's letting us take him for a full day just the two of us then she trusts us and she knows we're ready to have him back. And before we know it DJ will be home with us  and we'll all be together and we'll be one big happy family. I promise" I smile through pursed lips and she finally agrees to take him back with me.

Ocean's POV

We park outside my mothers house and her and Gabby our waiting outside for the hand over. It broke my heart when she took DJ from me and I had to watch her walk away him, but Michael promised me we'll have him back soon and I know he'd never promise me unless he means it.

***

We get back to the cabin about 8pm and it's already dark. Michael and I our laying down on the grass by the lake looking up at the beautiful star lit sky. "I found it" I smile and he smiles back.

We laid there all night looking up and smiling contently at Angel. When we lost our baby, I was only a few weeks so we never got to find out if we had a son or a daughter. Everybody around us tried to make us forget about what happened, but we never have and we never will, because every night when we look up at the beautiful star lit sky we see our little Angel. The biggest, beautiful and brightest star shining down at us.
