Michael's POV

"Janet!? Are you getting up or what!?" I yell up the stairs to Janet. "You really need to try and relax" Ocean says calmly as she's feeding Princess her breakfast and I finish helping Veah with her's. "How am I supposed to relax when she won't get her lazy ass out of bed? It's 9'oclock and We're supposed to be flying out today and don't have time for all this. We have too much to do. We need to..."

"Relax?" She cuts me off. "We're not leaving until this evening and everything's all packed and ready for when we leave" she smiles and pecks my lips and I'm about to speak when Princess knocks her breakfast from her high chair and starts crying. "Sssh. It's ok" I say softly picking her up. "Did you remember to put that teething stuff on her gums?"

"Of course I did. It's not gonna make the pain go away for ever" Ocean says while wiping the porridge from her shirt. "I'll go get her some more though. I hope her tooth comes through soon. I hate seeing her like this" she sighs then leaves the room to get her teething gel and I start walking around the house with Princess, which always seems to calm her down when she's upset. Her first tooth started coming through a fews days ago and she's been really cranky ever since and I'm really hoping she going to be ok on the plane.

I walk into the living room with Princess and Veah, and DJ is jumping up and down off the sofa. "DJ, get down off the sofa before you fall again" I say and he quickly gets down, but then runs towards Veah and pushes her over and takes the toy she was holding from her. "DJ!" I snap going over to Veah and pick her up with my free arm. "That's MY truck!" DJ frowns. "I don't care. Don't ever push your sister again. Go in the hallway and take a time out" I frown and he huffs and storms out into the hallway and Ocean comes into the room. "What's going on?"

"DJ just pushed Veah over because she had one of his toys" I sigh heavily, still trying to comfort her. "Why don't I take the kids to the beach or something? It might get rid of some of his energy" she says taking Princess from me so I can pick Veah up properly.

We start getting the girls ready while DJ is finishing his time out, but Veah is being really difficult and keeps pulling at her clothes to stop me dressing her. "Veah, if you don't get dressed then you can't go to the beach with the others" I say trying to get her dressed "No!" She shouts continuing to fight with me "Stay with Daddy" she pouts "Maybe she should stay here with me if she's getting this upset" I sigh, picking her up. "Yay! No Veah!" DJ cheers jumping up and down. "Keep talking and they'll be no DJ coming either" Ocean turns to him and he quickly shuts up and goes and waits by the door. "I'll try and talk to him while we're out" she says and I nod.

I really don't know what's gotten into DJ lately because he's always been nice to his sister's and we'll behaved. He still nice to Princess and well behaved, but when it comes to Veah he just seems to be constantly picking on her lately and neither of us no why and whenever we try and talk to him about it he just says he doesn't like her and won't tell us why and it's really starting to upset her everytime DJ goes near her.

Ocean's POV

After we leave the house DJ really calms down and is quietly playing on the beach making sandcastles and I ask him about what happened with Veah earlier.

"She had my truck" he shrugs "but you play with her toys sometimes and she doesn't get upset. Why don't you wanna share with her or wanna play her? You do with Princess"

"Because I don't like Veah"

"Why not?" I ask softly and he doesn't say anything for a moment.

"Because daddy only loves her" he mumbles. "Your daddy loves all of you. Why would you think that?" I ask surprised and again he doesn't say anything for a moment.
