Kathrine's POV

It's the next morning and we're sitting eating breakfast and Duncan is telling me all about his birthday party this Saturday. "And we're gonna have a big cake and A bouncy castle and all my friends are coming!" He smiles. "That sounds great! I can't wait" I smile excitedly. "Me too... I know what I'm getting too" he whispers that last part. "And what's that?" I whisper back and he leans closer and whispers in my ear. "I keep asking for a bike"

"Is that so?"

"Mhm. And I've been extra good too" he smiles proudly. "What are you guys whispering at?" I hear Michael. "SShh.. don't tell daddy I know" Duncan whispers, moving back to his seat. "We were just wondering what we're going to be doing today" I smile. "Well I was thinking we can all go to the beach today and maybe show you guys around the place" he smiles. "Sounds good to me" I smile back and get up from my seat when I see Ocean walking in with Princess. "Good moring sweetie" I smile and go to take her from Ocean and just like yesterday, she starts crying.

"Hey, it's only grandma" Michael says softly and takes her from Ocean and hands her to me. She cries at first then starts to settle in my arms, but keeps checking Michael is close by. "She's just a little grumpy lately. She wasn't feeling good the other day and tends to be a little cranky when she's sick" Ocean explains. "I think it's more because of all these strangers in the house" I smile through purses lips and her and Michael smile back the same way, not wanting to admit it.

I believe them when they say she wasn't feeling to good a few days ago, but it's pretty clear by the way Princess is reacting to me, that she doesn't remember me. It does upset me a little that she gets upset everytime any of us go near her, especially me. but after so many children of my own, I completely understand how children can be especially babies as young as Princess. She was only a few months old when Michael and Ocean left so it's understandable she wouldn't remember any of us, but luckily we have a whole week to get to know her again.

After everybody's had breakfast. We're all getting ready to leave and there's a knock on the door and Duncan goes to the window to see who it is.

"Mrs Baker!!!" Duncan smiles excitedly, running towards the door. "DJ, no running in the house" Michael says, going to answer the door. "Hey! How's it going?" He says invited her in. "Mother this is our neighbour, Mrs Baker" Michael smiles introducing us. "Nice to meet you. You can call me Moreen. I just came by to introduce myself. Michael and Ocean have told me so much about you" she smiles shaking my hand and I smile at her through purses lips, Shaking her hand.

"Hi, Mrs Baker" Ocean smiles coming down the stairs. "Hi. I just stopped by to say hello" she smiles and turns to Princess. "And hows this little angel doing this morning?" She coos, taking her from Ocean and gives her a cuddle and Princess happily goes to her. "Have you met everybody yet? This is Katherine. Micheal's..."

"We've met" I cut Ocean off and she nods. "Mrs Baker are you coming with us?" DJ asks "oh, i'd love to, but I think I'd be imposing sweetie. Maybe next time" she smiles. "Of course you won't be. We're just going to be showing my family some of the sites. Your more than welcome to come" Michael smiles taking Princess from her and starts putting her in her stroller. "Well. If you insist" she smiles and Neaveah comes into the room and smiles seeing Moreen or 'Mrs Baker' As everybody keeps calling her. "Would you like me to put your shoes on for you?" She smiles going to pick her up. "It's fine. I can manage" I smile at her through pursed lips and take Nevaeh from her.

I know I've only just met her, but I already can't stand this woman. Especially the way she just walked in here like she owns the place and invites herself on a private family day out.

Ocean's POV

"This place is beautiful. I could just walk around forever" Katheine smiles, admiring the scenery. "We do that ourselves sometimes" Michael smiles. "Beach!" Veah, smiles pointing at the direction of the beach. "We'll go there soon sweetie. We're gonna go get some lunch first" I smile "Beach" she pouts, folding her arms. "I have a few snacks in my purse, if the little one's are getting hungry?" Mrs Baker says, opening her back. "That's ok thanks. It's almost lunch time anyway" I smile. "So are we going back soon?" Janet asks. "We were gonna take you guys to this pizza place a few streets from here, but if you'd rather go back. That's ok" Michael says and she shakes her head. "I'll be fine. I just needed to sit down for a moment is all"
