Love hurts?

Left out

Michael's POV

I wake up the next morning to Ocean slamming around the room "what time is it?" I groan sitting up. "look for yourself!" She snaps "your still pissed at me aren't you?" I sigh "what the fuck do you think!?"

"I thought you would have calmed down by now and you'd actually let me talk"

"calm down! Michael, I walked through the front door to your sister crying and thanking me for us adopting her baby!" I snap on a hushed tone walking over to him. "what ye fuck were you thinking!?"

"I wasn't. I walked in our room and Janet had a methadone and a needle in her hand about to use it and..."

"what!? Why didn't you tell me last night?" She cuts me off "because You haven't let me talk" I say sarcastically then notice the look on Ocean's face and realise that was a dumb move. "I wasn't thinking straight" I sigh "I thought she was just saying that stuff because she was scared. But when when I walked in and saw her I panicked"

"did she take any?"

"no, luckily I got there before she tried it"

"why would she do that? She saw what drugs did to us?" She asks confused "I think she was trying to lose the baby" I mumble. "she really doesn't want this baby" I shake my head "I'm sorry I said that to her, but like I said I panicked when I saw her and when I finally realised what I said. I told her to let me discuss it with you first before anything officially agreed and when you came home she ran over to you before I had a chance. Do you want me to tell her we can't? You don't have to say it. This is my mess not yours" I sigh rubbing my temple. "we talked about this stuff before. When I had the abortion remember? The reason we did that was because it wasn't ours and..."

"I told you, you could keep your baby of you wanted to" I point out. "I know you did and I'm not blaming you for that. And the reason I did that was because it was Jermaine's baby and I didn't want you to have to raise his child. What makes you think I could do it with Janet's?"

"that was different I didn't fuck Janet, but you and Jermaine did" I say with and attitude. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that" I mumble "maybe it could work work" I shrug "we're always talking about having a big family and it's not like anybody would know. We'll be in Miami by then"

"yes in the future, not in the next few month! and what if we say yes and Janet decides down the line she wants the baby back? Because she could. "watching another woman raise your child is the most heartbreaking thing in the world. I had to see my mother do it with DJ and it didn't just break my heart but yours too"

"we wanted DJ and we didn't hand him over willingly. Janet really doesn't want this and she won't have to watch, because we'll be in Miami remember?"

"you want to adopt it don't you?"

"I away no, but on the other hand, maybe us agreeing to adopt it could be for the best and she might feel differently the further along she gets and change her mind. But the more I think about it, the more I think it'll be for the best. Janet's 13 and she's not ready"

"I want to help her I really do, but..."

"you don't want to take the baby" I cut her off and she sighs. "I don't know. This isn't just a decision we can make in the heat of the moment. This is somebody's life"

Janet's POV

I'm sitting watching TV and LaToya walks in looking annoyed. "what's wrong with you?"

"oh nothing! Just that I'm stuck on babysitting duty again" she rolls her eyes "how come?"

"Ocean and Michael are going to some laser tag thing with Randy and some others"
