Janet's POV

It's Saturday morning and I'm sitting on the sofa an I get a text from Micheal asking if I want to hang out to today and as I'm texting back, I notice Timmy looking pissed off. "What's the matter with you?"

"Nothing" he shakes his head then mumbles something under his breath. "Huh?" I ask confused and he sighs slightly. "I said. I can't believe you spent all the money your brother gave you on credit for your phone"

"But that's what he gave it me for" I shrug "yeah, but he gave you $20 you didn't have to spend all of it on your phone. "We could have split it"

"Why don't you ask your brother for some money if you need it so bad?" I say with a slight attitude. "Because he doesn't have any just like we don't"

"That's not my fault"

"Well you could asks him again only this time split it with me" he shrugs. "I didn't ask him the first time and what do you need money for so bad anyway?"

"We need to get stuff for the baby remeber? I can't buy everything with just my paper route job and you won't even look for a job. Just ask him. He'll give it to you"

"Fine. I'll ask him when I see him today" I lie and text Micheal back asking where he wants to meet up. I have no intension of asking Micheal for any money because not only do I not want him to know I'm struggling on my own, I know him and Ocean are struggling themselves. Micheal still hasn't found a new job and they spent most of the most they had on the house in Miami and with three small children they need every penny they have and the last thing I want to do is have them leave knowing that I'm struggling, especially after telling them everything is going great here.

After replying to Micheal's text asking where he wants to meet up, I sit watching the TV with Timmy and my phone beeps and I look nervously at the message. "What's wrong?" Timmy turns to me confused. "I asked Micheal where he wants to meet up and he said he'll come here"

"So? He's been here before" he shrugs confused.

"Who's been here before?" Sharon asks, coming into the room. "Janet's brother's coming over"

"What!? Why didn't you tell me this before!?" Sharon gasps and starts rushing around picking up the mess around the living room. "C'Mon we need to get this place cleaned up quick"

"He's not coming over right now" I explain. "Great! That'll give us more time. You two clean up the house and I'll go get something for dinner"

"He didn't say he was coming for dinner. He's just coming over to hang out is all and.."

"Well I can't exactly not feed them can I? And I'm assuming he's bringing his wife and kids too. I'll call Tony and ask him to come over and help get everything ready. text your brother and ask him to come over around 4 that should give us plenty of time to get everything ready" she says, rushing around the room.

Micheal's POV

After getting a text back from Janet, I go downstairs to let Ocean know.

"Looks like we're having dinner at Janet's place tonight" I smile, walking over and peck her lips. "Can I come too Daddy?" DJ asks "of course you can" I smile and he smiles back slightly. "What's wrong?" Ocean asks, sensing something "How come aunt Dunk can't live with us now?"

"It's not she can't. It's just that Aunti Dunk wanted to move in with Timmy and his family because she's having a baby. Like mommy did when you were born she came to live with me" I explain. "But mommy didn't like grandma. Does Aunti Dunk not like us?" He says getting a little upset. "Sweetie that was a little different" Ocean says picking him up and taking him onto the sofa. "Me and Daddy would have lived together anyway, whether me and grandma were friends or not. Because when you were born, your daddy and I became a family an that's what's happening with Aunti Dunk. Her and Timmy are gonna have a baby and become a family"
