Our flight was silent. I couldn't believe we were doing this.... I called Dwayne who was my body guard last time I was here and asked for his help. Ben was pouting in his seat still.

"This is a bad idea." I told Michael. "I think this will be good for him. Maybe being closer to his dad will help." He commented with an upset look. "He's going through a rough time, you are his dad & so is Levi. Levi would be so proud about the way you have been fathering Ben." I said grabbing his hand. He gave me a soft smile.

The plane landed and Michael carried a sleeping Ben off the plane. Luckily no one followed us. Dwayne and Javon were getting the car ready and everything.
"Hey Dwayne!" I said greeting him with a handshake. "Hello Mrs. Jackson." He smiled. "Dwayne this is my husband Michael." I said. "Hey Dwayne, nice to meet you." Michael smiled still holding out 10 year old son. "Okay he's getting heavy, let's get going." He said. We got in the car and started driving. "Where are we staying?" I asked confused. "You'll see." He said looking out the window. Ben was now awake. I started to look around and started to recognize  things. We were in our old neighborhood.... "No Michael! We are not staying here!" I hollered. "Yes we are. He's getting the full experience." He said sternly. I shook my head. "How? Someone else lives there now!" I said upset. The car stopped in front of our old house. Then two people came out. Michael covered his face  before getting out of the car. I got out also leaving, Ben in the car. It was Jake and Jenn! "You guys bought our house?" I asked. "Yeah, we redid it and have been living here since. Come on inside. I wanna see that little guy." Jenn smiled. I got Ben out of the car and took him inside. He looked around the house as did me and Michael. "It looks nice." Michael said. "Thanks. Um Amber your old bedroom is ready for you and Michael and I have a sleeping bag for Ben." She said. "A sleeping bag?!" Ben said surprised. "Its how most kids out here sleep." Jake said. "You wanna live the life of a poor kid, here you go." Michael told him. He looked to me, I looked away. I couldn't do this to him. "Can't he just sleep with us?" I asked upset. "Nope. He hates us remember and he wished he lived this life." Michael said. Ben held an angry expression, trying to act tough. "Dwayne and Javon are staying in the living room?" I asked. "I think Dwayne is sleeping in his car and Javon is sleeping in here on the couch." Michael said. I nodded.

Michael gave Ben his sleeping bag and we all went to bed. I stood in my old room, looking at everything. At least there's a full sized bed in here instead of Twin sized. It was always a pain in the ass sleeping on one with Michael. Michael was already in bed and I was just restless. "Amber, just come to bed." He said tired. "You remember when Ben was little and he had that dream with gunshots and blood ? " I asked. He sighed nodding. "What if this back fires and he wants to stay?" I asked. Michael rubbed his face, "who the he'll would he live with. He's our kid, he's not going any where. Now come to bed. Please." He begged. I nodded getting into bed with him. He wrapped me in his arms, " everything will be fine. Eventually we were gonna have to bring him here." He said. "Are we gonna go to his grave?" I asked softly. "I was hoping to, if we can get there without the paps." He said. I took a deep breath, "I still don't like this." I said. "Whatever." He said trying to go to sleep.

I woke up the next day, still tangled in his arms. "Michael... wake up." He groaned squeezing me tight. "No." He said. I got out of bed going into the bathroom to freshen up. I walked out to the living room to find Jenn cooking breakfast. "Morning sleepy heads." Jenn smiled. "Morning." I yawned. Michael also came out, "Awh shit, I miss our bed." He yawned stretching his back. I nodded agreeing. "How'd you sleep baby?" I asked Ben, kissing his head. "Fine.leave me alone." he answered with a attitude. "No, we don't speak to adults and especially our parents like that in this house. You know what happens to kids out here who talk to their parents like that?" Jake said. Ben shook his head. Jake made Ben get up and look out the window with him, "see that tree?" He asked. Ben nodded. "Your dad Levi would've made you go get a branch off that tree and he would've whooped your ass boy." He told him. Michael was giggling. "I remember getting that punishment." He said. "Same." Jenn said.
