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

Janet's story

Janet's POV

I wake up, feeling the warm sun, shining on my face then I open my eyes and look around the familiar room. It's been so long since I was hear and it still feels unreal. Am I really home?

My thoughts are disturbed when I hear laughter and I walk towards the window and see DJ and Veah racing each other from one end of the garden to the other then I see Ocean, sitting on the grass playing with Mikey and I smile to myself, hearing his adorable laugh.

I leave the room to go and see him and Michael is walking out of the bathroom with Princess.

"Great job, baby girl. I'm so proud of you!" He smiles, proudly and gives her a hug.

"Hi" I mutter an he looks over and smiles. "Hey, Sorry. We didn't wake you did we?"

"No, it's fine. I was getting up anyway. "She's getting big now" I smile at Princess. "We all have birthdays" she smiles back, proudly. "That's right you did! I had a birthday too" I smile slightly. "Did you have a party too?"

"Umm... no"

"Princess, why don't you go downstairs and play with the others. I'll be down in a minute" Michael turns to Princess. "Ok, daddy" she smiles and runs off downstairs. "Can we go talk in here for a minute" he suggests and I nod and following him to my room.

Michael's POV

I close the door behind us and sit on the edge of the bed, next to Janet.

"I'm sorry about that. She just doesn't understand..."

"It's fine" she shrugs. "You feeling any better?"

"Mhm... It just feels weird being back is all. When I left the kids were babies and now their all grown up... especially Mikey" she mutters that last part. "It's gonna feel weird at first, but it'll be ok" I smile and wrap my arms around her. "It just doesn't feel real. Like it was only yesterday I left, but now I'm here and Mikey's here and I've missed everything. His first word, first steps, first birthday everything... I thought he dead" she mumbles. "Well he's not. He's here and he's safe. Just like you. I know it feels strange now, but it'll be ok, I promise. You just need some time to adjust is all" I say softly. "Was is like this for you and Ocean? After what happend with... You know? The drugs and Mary and stuff? Like... I know it was real, but now I'm here... And it feels real... but it's doesn't... It feel like... I don't know... like..."

"A dream?" I cut her off and she nods "I know I sound crazy saying that but..."

"That doesn't sound crazy" I shake my head. "And yeah we felt like that at first. You've gone from one life to another and then back again and alot happend in the past few hours. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and confused, but it's going to be ok" I smile "Because I'm here and so is Ocean and Rebbie and mom and dad are on their way over and..."

"Their coming here?" She cuts me off nervously "Yeah, we called them last night and they got the 1st flight they could"

"Their gonna flip out" She mutters. "Dunk, nobody's mad at you for what happend and nobody's gonna flip out at you, I promise. We've all being going crazy trying to find you, ever since you left"

"Really?"

"Of course we were. Why would you think we'd hate you? Is that what Chad told you?" I frown and she nods "I got a text from you and you said Mikey was dead and..."

"I didn't text you anything" I cut her off and tell her what happend in the hostpital.

".... I never thought anything about it at the time, but as soon as I saw what Chad looked like. It was obvious what had happened"
