Love hurts?

No more running

Michael's POV

"Soo... three kids now? Every time I see you guys you've multiplied!" Marlon chuckles handing me a cup of coffee and sits on the sofa opposite. "yep, she's a month old now" I smile proudly. "congratulations" he smiles then sighs taking a deep breath. "you feeling any better?"

"a little now I've had some sleep. Thanks again for putting us all up last night"

"you guys are always welcome here you know that but..."

"but what?" I ask and he sighs "I'm glad you guys are here, but you can't keep running away like this. Especially with with three small kids. You and Ocean are great parents and I'm not telling you what to do, but do you really think it's fair on them to be packed up and moved every time you guys get scared or something happens?" He asks softly and I shake my head. "it's not like we wanted to. And we're not gonna leave them with anybody either if that's what your getting at" I say defensively. "of course I'm not suggesting you leave your kids behind. You've had enough people try and take them from you and I completely understand why you guys ran... But your not 15 and 17 year old kids anymore and it's time to stop running scared and take control of your lives. For yourselves and those babies" he smiles at me through pursed lips. And I smile back the same way.

Jermaine's POV

"you heard anything yet?" Aisha asks timidly coming into the kitchen and I shake my head. "their still not picking up" I sigh. "it's been all night. maybe we should start calling around and see if anybody's seen them" she suggests and I nod. "Joseph and Mother are gonna kill me when they found out I've lost them again"

"it wasn't your fault. You didn't make them leave"

"no, it's yours!" I snap "you and your fucking stupid prank! Did you even stop to think what might go through their heads when they found out what you did!? Their on edge all the time anyway and you pull shit like that! What the fuck were you thinking!?"

"I wasn't. And I told I wasn't actually going to try and do anything with him. It was only a joke. It just got a little out of hand" she shrugs. "a little out of hand!? Aisha they've been gone all night! With three small kids. One of which is a newborn, still recovering from a kidney transplant. Have you forgotten what happens last time they ran? Who knows where they are or what will happen this time"

"Their not gonna go back to all that. Like you said they have the kids with them. They won't put them in any danger" she tries to reassure me but fails miserably "you don't know that for sure. They didn't exactly wake up that morning and I decide to run away to a drug house and get addicted to heroin. And they had Nevaeh with them and it didn't stop them. So you don't know. You know nothing about them, so quit acting like you do" she's about to speak when there's a knock at the door. "see? that's probably them now" she smiles "they live here. If it was them, they'd use their keys. Stupid" I frown going to answer the door and she follows behind me.

"w-what's happened? Please tell me their ok" I stutter seeing two police officers standing at the door. "we're looking for a Ms Aisha Jones" the first officer says. "that me. W-why?" Aisha stutters. "we're here to serve you with these papers" the second officer says. "what is it?" She frowns opening the envelope. "there's a restraining order put against you by a Mr Michael Jackson and a Mrs Ocean Jackson and it's been accepted and signed a judge"

Ocean's POV

After we went to the courts about Aisha, we go back to Marlon's place and put the kids down for a nap, then Michael leaves for awhile and said he had to take care of something with the business.
