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

Talk

Ocean's POV

I'm in the bedroom, checking everything is packed and Michael walks in.

"You almost ready?" He asks and I nod. "I'm just checking we have everything. I don't wanna get home and realise we forgot something" I mutter and he nods and walks over and sits on the edge of the bed.

"The kids are all ready" he says and I nod. "Their gonna be heartbroken when we tell them" I sigh and sit beside him on the edge of the bed. "It breaks my heart too, just like it does with you" he says softly and I nod. "I know deep down we're doing the right thing, but it feels like we're giving away one of our kids" I mutter and he nods. "We won't have to hand him over straight away, but I think we should wait a few days before we say anything. Give us a chance to tell the kids first" he suggest and I nod, not saying anything.

"You having doubts?" He asks and I nod. "What if we're wrong about this? We're just assuming she's gonna be able to cope, but what if she can't? Or he gets hurt again or..."

I'm cut off when Michael kisses me softly then breaks away. "Baby? I'm just as worried and have my doubts too. We struggle all the time with 4 kids and yeah, two is still gonna be hard, but we'll still be there for her and can help if it's too much. Plus it won't be straight away. It'll take months, maybe even a year to do the transition and get all the legal stuff done"

"That's true" I mutter "You think maybe we should wait awhile longer? Maybe after the baby arrives?" He asks and I shake my head. "I want to, but if we're gonna do this then we needs to do it now. The longer we wait the harder it's gonna be on everybody. Especially the kids" I say and he nods.

As much as Michael and I want to keep Mikey and legally we don't have to hand him back to Janet, We both know deep it's the right thing to do. We still have our doubts and worries about whether or not Janet can take care if him, but everybody had those same feelings and thoughts about me and Michael when it came to our kids. I know Janet's messed up alot with Mikey, but so did Michael and I and we got a second chance and Janet deserves that too.

Janet's POV

"Awww... This is so cute" I smile, showing Ben a cute little baby grow, I see in the store. "Yeah, it's real cute. How come you don't wanna find out want your having? Wouldn't it be easier to get all boys or all girls stuff?"

"It would, but I kinda want it to be a suprise" I smile. "Everybody I know usually can't wait that long. Did you do that with Mikey?"

"Um.. no" I mumble. "Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I was just..."

"It's fine" I smile, cutting him off. "It's just still kinda hard, you know?"

"Have you spoken to Michael and Ocean yet?"

"Their still in Ireland, visiting Ocean's dad. They should be back later today though"

"You still sure about this?" He asks and I nod. "I do want him back with me, but I know deep down it's for the best if he stays with Michael and Ocean. They've pretty much been his parents since day one and their great parents and they can give him everything a child could want. Two loving parents, siblings, nice house and all that other stuff... Basically everything I could never give him" I mutter that last part as I look down at my now huge baby bump.

"Your gonna be a great mommy" he says, sensing my worry. "But what if I'm not? I had a chance to be a good mom with Mikey and I messed it up and now here I am. 15 an pregnant with my 2nd child to the 2nd father and..."

"That doesn't mean you won't be a good mom. Me and Jodie have different dad's an my mom's been divorced twice, but she's still a great mom"

"You think I'm wrong for not going ahead with the custody battle?" I ask and he shrugs. "I can't answer that one, but if your having doubts then maybe you should wait awhile before speaking to them" he suggests "I'm always gonna have doubts if I made the right choice or not, but I've been thinking about it alot and it's not fair to drag Mikey through the courts when I already know I'm never gonna get him back. Protective services took him away and let them adopt him for a reason. I was heartbroken when I found out Michael and Ocean adopted Mikey, but I've kinda come to terms with it now. He's their son and there's nothing I can do about it. I just hope they'll let me see him from time to time"
