Love hurts?

Hardest decision

Michael's POV

Ocean and I are sitting in the kitchen with mother and Joseph and it feels kind of weird. We've been locked in a room for so long and today's the first time we've been out and Jermaine is bringing Nevaeh over today. "you don't have to be nervous" mother says softly bringing us some breakfast. "we're ok" I smile slightly while keeping a tight grip of Ocean's hand under the table."I don't want either of you to be scared, But when Randy and Jackie get here we're gonna take you both to the doctors" Joseph says softly. "but Jermaine's bringing Nevaeh back today and we don't need a doctor. We're fine now" I shake my head. "Jermaine's coming over in the afternoon and you both need to get checked out. With what happened with the abortion and the two of you using needles. It's really important that they do some test make sure"

"of what?" I asks confused "diseases" LaToya mumbles coming into the room and stands near the kitchen sink away from us. "LaToya!" Mother scolds her. "but, it's true. They could be infected with all kinds of stuff. Who knows what was on those needles"

"we only shared them with each other and they were clean!" I frown. "and we believe you, but it's best to check, just in case and to make sure what happened to Ocean didn't cause any kind of long term damage. It's just a few little test and they'll take some some samples of your blood and stuff it's nothing to be scared of" mother says softly. "An when will we know what they have?" LaToya mumbles still standing away from us. "it's a private doctor and if there is any health problems. He'll tell us today" Joseph frowns at her "and then Jermaine's gonna come over so they can see Nevaeh and..."

"I'm gonna go get ready" Ocean cut him off getting up to leave and I get up to and LaToya looks at us nervously. "your not catch anything. We don't have any diseases!" Ocean snaps "you haven't finished breakfast" Joseph cuts in. "we wouldn't want someone to catch something would we!?" I frown at LaToya and she doesn't say anything as we leave the room

we get upstairs and I close the door behind us and pull Ocean in close to me. "did you see the way she looking at us?" She sniffles. "just ignore her. We already know there's nothing wrong with us and them test will prove that"

"what about the other thing?" She mumbles. "what do you mean?" I look at her confused. "what your mother said about there being... Damage" she croaks. "you'll be fine. You've not had any pain or anything have you?"

"no, but what if there is something wrong with me and I can't have anymore kids. It does happen sometimes"

"you'll be fine. And if it's not. Then we can still have a big family like we always wanted. There's adoption, surrogate.. All kinds of stuff" I shrug. I'm about to speak and there's a knock on the door. "are you two ok?" Joseph asks coming into the room. "we're fine" I smile through pursed lips. "pay no attention to what LaToya said. I've spoke to her and..."

"it's fine" I cut him off. "Ocean's more upset about what mother said. That there could be damage" I explain and he sighs sympathetically and walks over to me. "I'm sure everything's ok, but it's just to be on the safe side"

"but, there could be a problem. And if there is I might not be able to have kids again" Ocean sobs and I pull her in tighter. "you two have all the time in the world to worry about that. You both have two beautiful children already, neither of you need to be worrying about anymore" he smiles through pursed lips. "Randy's home and Jackie will be here soon, so you both need to get ready"

"we're not gonna run" I mumble. "it's just a precaution" Joseph sighs "I'll meet you both downstairs"

Joseph's POV

We're all sat waiting in the room for doctor to arrive and I can see the nervousness on Michael and Ocean's faces. They've barley spoken since we left the house. I know it upset them what LaToya said and I don't know why she's been acting so cold towards them. I don't want to be here getting them tested for God knows what they could have picked up and I hate having to make sure all the doors and windows are bolted or having my sons having to play security to bring them out, but it's what needs to be done right now and I thought LaToya out of everybody would be the understanding and sensitive about this. My thoughts are broken when the doctor arrives and goes through with Michael and Ocean the kind of tests he'll be doing and asks them a few questions. I've already explained to him why we were here, but he still needed to ask the two of them some more. And some nurses will have to take Ocean into another room while they do some personal test. "we don't even need the test. We already told everything. Can't we just go home?"
