Love hurts?

Blame

Michael's POV

"how about this one?" I ask nervously trying on a different shirt. "you look perfect. Just relax" Ocean smiles adjusting my collar. "what if we mess it up?" I sigh nervously and she presses her lips softly against mine, making me quickly relax and I sigh contently. "your gonna do great. You both are and you'll both have your dad there to help you out... You can do this" she smiles, reassuring me. "yeah! you can do it daddy!" DJ smiles coming into the room "what's he trying to do?" He whispers to Ocean. "daddy and uncle Randy our going to see some very important people today so we can have our own company" I smile picking him up. "can I work with you?" He asks and I nod "of course! We're gonna need you to build all the houses for us to decorate"

After kissing Ocean and the kids goodbye, I make my way over to my parents and just like me, Randy is nervous as hell. "this is very important and I don't want any messing around in there from either of you. No jokes, no attitudes, no..." my dad begins and my mother cuts him off. "Joseph, leave them be. the boys are nervous enough"

"well I need to make sure their serious about this. Owning your own company isn't just fun and games. It's alot of hard work and they have to be committed"

"and we are! We really wanna do this and we WILL be taking it seriously. This isn't just some crazy idea we have or something to pass the time. This is something we're really passionate about and it's not just for me. It's for my family and for DJ and how ever many sons I have after that. 'Jackson and son's' it's right there in the name" I tell him honestly and he smiles placing his hands on my shoulders. "that's perfect! Say more stuff like that in the meeting"

"how come it's 'Jackson and Son's?' You have a daughter too. Is she not apart of it?" LaToya asks with a slight attitude "of course she is! And so will my other daughters. They don't have to get their hands dirty to be apart of it" I frown getting a little defensive. I'm all for woman's right and equality and all that stuff. But recently LaToya's been jumping down everybody's throats about it and it's actually getting pretty annoying. "well woman can do just as good a job as men and I'm sure your daughters will be able to be just as good at building and decorating as your sons and so could Ocean. Woman aren't just there for making babies and doing housework you know" she shrugs. "I'm sure they could. But I like to provide for my family, treat my wife like a queen and my daughter and my future daughters like princesses and they choose to allow me to do that and Ocean chooses to bare all my children" I smile with a slight smirk, seeing how wound up my comment just made her, which I knew it would. She's about to speak and my mother cuts her off. "exactly how many children were you planning?" She smiles excitedly at the idea of more grandchildren. "18" I smile "and what makes you so sure Ocean will be happy to give birth and take care of 18 babies? Have you asked her?" LaToya asks raising and eyebrow. "I'm sure she'll be fine with it. Ocean loves kids" I shrug. She's about to speak and my phone starts ringing. "I'll be right back" I say heading to the backyard seeing the number and close the door behind me.

"I thought I told you not to call! We'll call you. If my dad knew we were still talking to you guy's he'd..."

"your momma's here" Ray mumbles down the phone. "huh?"

"Yeah, she's here in your old room... Sleeping. Thought you should know in case you thought she got lost or something"

"don't call me when you've just shot up. I don't need the distraction today" I roll my eyes. "but she is here!"

"Ray, I'm at my parents house and my mothers here! And even if she wasn't she wouldn't come to you"

"so who's the old lady that stayed over?" He asks confused. "how the fuck should I know!? I haven't been to your place or that area in months" I frown. "oh yeah! You and Ocean are doing the all American family thing now" he mumbles confused. "yeah, Soo... Anyway tell Rob I'll call him during the week. I have a really important meeting to get to"
