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

Decisions

Ocean's POV

Today's our last day before we fly back to Miami and apart of me is excited to be going home, but the other part is feeling alittle upset. We've been in Ireland for about a month now and in that time me and my dad have really started to bond again and even him and Michael have been getting along great, which is something I never thought I'd see. I'm still alittle unsure about Joanna though. She seems like a really nice girl and I do enjoy spending time with her, but she tends to ask alot of questions, espcially about where we're living and why we won't tell anybody, but I've always managed to quickly get on to a new topic. It's not that I don't trust her, but I still don't know her very well and I don't feel comfortable telling her about my privet life. It also still feels alittle weird that she's younger than me and married to my dad, but if her and my dad are happy then I don't feel like it's my place to say anything.

I'm finishing up the last of my packing and there's a light knock on the door. "You need any help?" My dad asks, walking over and I shake my head. "I'm almost done now"

"What times your flight tomorrow? I'll drop you guys at the airport if you like?"

"Not untill the afternoon, but I just wanna get everything ready so we're not rushing tomorrow" I smile at him through pursed lips.

"You you don't seem to excited about it? You can always stay longer if you want?"

"I appreciate it, but I think we've put you and Joanna out enough. Plus we're gonna have to speak to Janet and the others eventually"

"It'll be ok" he smiles at me slightly. "But what if it's not? We never planned any of this. All we wanted was to move away from everything and everybody and have a nice house and be happy. Just me Michael and our kids. And for the first few months everything was perfect and we were all so happy. Then we took Janet in and everything just went wrong. I'm not saying it's Janet fault because it's not. We thought we could handle it, but we couldn't. 3 kids is hard enough, but then we had a another baby and a teenager to take care of and it was all too much"

"Of course it was too much for you both. Your barley out of your teens yourselves. Nobody blames you for what happened to Janet"

"She does" I mumble "Then she's the one in the wrong not you and Michael. His family should never have put all that pressure on you both. If they hadn't then maybe what happened to her and all this stuff with Mikey wouldn't have happened" he says and I don't say anything for a moment then sigh slightly.

"Do you think we're making the right decision?"

"I can't answer that. Like I've always said. I'll suport any decision you make, but you and Michael know what's best for that baby. Just like you know what's best for your own kids. All I can tell you is that you both need to sit down and talk to Janet and explain why..."

"But we tried that before" I cut him off. "But she just started attacking us and screaming"

"She's only 15 years old. The same age you were when Duncan was born and you remember how hard it was for you and Michael don't you? And how hurt you were when he was taken from you"

"Of course we do"

"Then you should understand how she's feeling and understand why she's so upset. But keep in mind that while all this was happening, you had Michael with you, but Janet doesn't have that and before you talk to her you both need to be 100% sure what you want. And remember that this is about Mikey and what's best for him. It's doesn't matter about Janet's feelings or yours or Michael's because no matter what choice you make, somebody's gonna get hurt. You need to think about Mikey and what's best for him"
