Happy ever after? (A Sequal to love hurts?)

Not ready

Janet's POV

"You don't mean that" Rebbie says softly "But I do.. I hate myself for even thinking this way, but half the time I don't even feel like I'm his mom. Michael and Ocean pretty much do everything for him and I'm just there if they need any help and..."

"Have you spoken to them about this?" She asks and I shake my head. "Then just talk to them. Tell them they need to back off a little and let you take care of him. I'm sure they'll understand if you just sit them down and speak with them. They probably don't even realise their taking over and..."

"But their not taking over" I shake my head "Their always telling me to take him out and feed him and spend time with him stuff"

"Then what's the problem?" She frowns confused. "Me.. I'm the problem. I thought I could do it, but I can't. I try to be a good mom to him, but whenever I'm with him for a whole day I feel like I'm trapped and I know it's selfish of me to feel this way, but I can't help it... Maybe I should just give him to Michael and Ocean and let them be his parents" I mumble that last part.

"Janet, you can't just give your baby away. This is serious. Lets say you do give him up. Then what? Your gonna have to see him everyday and and sit back and watch other people raise him and your gonna have to hear him call someone else mommy. Do you really think you can handle that? Because I couldn't"

"Maybe I could come stay with you?" I mutter. "Then I wouldn't have to see him or..."

"Your always welcome to come stay with me, but you can't just hand your baby to someone and forget about him. It doesn't work that way. I understand your upset right now, but when we're upset we sometimes make rash decisions that we don't really mean. You really need to think about this because if you do decide to put Mikey up for adoption, you can't get him back you know that right?"

"Michael and Ocean were gonna adopt him before and they promised they'd still let me see him and be involved. They wouldn't stop me seeing him.. They promised and they always keep their promises"

"Yes, but being involved and seeing the baby doesn't mean they'd give him back. If they'd have adopted Mikey in the beginning like they said they would, then that would make him their child not yours" she says softly and I don't say anything for a moment.

"I just don't know what to do anymore" I croak then break down crying and Rebbie wraps her arms around me and pulls me close to her.

Rebbie's POV

I'm on my way back from visiting Janet and the whole drive, I've been going over and over the conversation in my head. I can understand why she'd feel that she wasn't ready to be a mother and why'd she'd want to give Mikey up for adoption and apart of me agrees with her that it may be for the best. She's only 14 years old and way to young to be a mother and from the sounds if it, Michael and Ocean have pretty much been raising Mikey anyway and despite my issues with my brother, Michael is actually a really good father and Ocean's a great mother, but as great as they are as parents, their also still very young and trying to figure things out themselves.

I wish I could have told Janet I'd care for Mikey for her because she's my baby sister and I'd love to help her, but I'm already a single mother of one and working fulltime and there'd be no way for me to care for him on my own.

When I get back to the house, mother 'shushes' me the second I open the door. "The babies are sleeping upstairs" she whispers. "Sorry" I whisper back and quietly walk into the livingroom so not to disturb them.

"So how'd it go with Janet? She talk to you?" Joesph asks, walking into the room. "She did but.. Um.. It didn't go quite as I expected it to though"
