Ocean's POV

The post arrives and I see an important looking letter addressed to Micheal and I.

"Micheal!!" I call out as I'm reading the letter "what's up?" He smiles coming down the stairs and I hand him the letter. "It finally came!" He smiles bigger. "What did?" LaToya asks while sitting on the sofa half listening and half reading a magazine.

"The paperwork to say we can move the kids away with us. It says we'll be getting a new social worker and stuff over in Miami, but we can still take them" I explain. "But You've took them away before and moved from house to house with them. Why did you need permission this time?" she asks confused. "Because they didn't know we went away or had been moving around. And we won't be doing that anymore. We finally have a stable home" I smile.

"You had a stable home before, but you sold it remeber?" LaToya shrugs. "Which was for good reason.Why are you so pissed off? This is a fresh start for us" Micheal frowns confused.
"Yes I'm aware of that. You've done nothing but go on about it all the time" she sighs, rolling her eyes. "So your pissed off because we're excited about leaving?" I frown.

"I'm not pissed off I'm just worried about you all being so far away and.. I'm gonna miss you all" she mumbles that last part. "We're gonna miss you guys too, but we're still gonna visit and you guys are all flying out in a few months for DJ's birthday remeber? And you don't have to worry about us. We're fine. We're in the best place we've ever been" Micheal says.

"For now" she mumbles "what's that supposed to mean?" Micheal frowns, getting pissed off with her attitude. "I mean. You've both been in a good place before and it didn't work out so good and maybe your in a good place now, but you can't garentee you won't relapse or...."

"Why do you have to keep going in about that!? We know we messed up, but that's done and over with" he snaps, cutting her off. "Is it? Because you two may be able to forget about it, but we can't"

"What are you talking about? You weren't the one's that went through what we did. You have know idea" I frown, cutting in an she doesn't say anything and sighs. "I didn't wanna mention this, but we made a tape when you two were you know?... when we found out" she mumbles that last part.

"What!!? Why the fuck would you do that!? Do you know how messed up that is!?" Micheal snaps. "We didn't do it because we get a kick out of watching or to make you feel bad. If we did then we would have made you both watch it by now. We haven't even watched it since we made it"

"Then why do it!?" I snap. "Incase either of you started to relapse. We thought that of it happened again, we'd be able to show you and it would help somehow before it got as bad as last time"

"Where is it?" Micheal asks. "It doesn't matter, like you said your fine right now"

"If you made a video of us then we have the right to see it" I frown and she doesn't say anything "please?" I ask "I don't want you two getting upset. Like you said, your in a good place and..."

"Show us" Micheal cuts her off and eventually she gets up and leaves the room for a moment then comes back holding a DVD.

We play the video and it starts off with Me and Micheal after we came back from hostpital after DJ was born and we smile watching the three of us together and how happy we all were, then it cuts to videos of us with Veah and DJ during our visitations with him and LaToya suddenly switches it off.

"What are you doing?" I frown confused. "This next part might be a little to much for you" she mumbles. "Just show us" I Micheal says in a neutral tone and she continues the video and Micheal and I sit shocked watching as everyone drags us kicking and screaming and locking us in the bedrooms and we look so unrecognisable and it was like watching two completely different people to the ones we'd seen just moments ago.
