A/N How many people hate Shawn Michales right now? LOL and now people know the reason why Raven wasn't pissed as hell when she found out about John and Jamie.

Chapter 19 Bound together by blood

John's POV

I was so angry at Shawn, being upset at the news was one thing but to actually disown your own child when she needed you. It pissed me off to no-end. Now I had a very upset Jamie craddled up in my arms. When we told him he just stormed out, according to Raven he went straight over to her house and blamed her. As long as she was with me, Shawn didn't want to know her, Raven had disowned herself as a Michales to stick with Jamie and me. At least we had her.

"John promise me you won't leave" Jamie whispered against my cheek.

"I ain't going no-where Jamie"

"Thank you"

"I have liked you for too long to let you go now" I patted her stomach gently.

"Really?" Jamie looked up at me.

"I kinda had a crush on you when you were younger"

"Why didn't you say?"

"It was wrong, way more wrong than it is now"

Jamie finally smiled somewhat "How old was I?"

"Sixteen, I think. It was the night of your prom and you were in that long blue dress"

"I remember that, I wished it was you that took me instead of Felix."

"Me too. When I got divorced I thought maybe I had another shot at it. Thats why I text you"

"I'm glad you did even if my own father hates me now" Jamie's eyes filled up with tears again.

I cupped her chin in my hands "Hey you will always have me and Raven." I knew how much Raven meant to her. She was the one that saved her life afterall.

Jamie sniffed "Your right, we should stay positive"

"I promise you Jamie this will work it out, Shawn will come around"

"I hope your right John"

Raven's POV

I wasn't angry that again I was 'disowned' it happened on almost a daily basis so I was used to it. I just couldn't believe that Dad was actually that angry at her (or me as it were) that he would actually disown her. We all knew that Jamie was Dad's favourite, then Harm, Jeff, Izzy then me. (I don't know why I was last.) I also couldn't believe that all her sisters had turned against her especially Iziah. I text John about Jamie earlier, she was still upset but she had stopped crying. They were watching movies until they fell asleep, like old times apparently. I however was busy cooking, I liked cooking. It gave me an excuse to mix all sorts of weird shit together all in the name of creation.

Dance fucker dance, no-one really knew it was really only you. Nice work you did, your gonna go far kid

Those annoying lyrics burst through my silence, from the ringtone I knew it was Iziah. I was close to not answering the phone but in the last second I changed my mind, "What?"

"Well hello to you too ice-queen" Izzy teased

"I'm in no mood, what the fuck do you want?"
"Oooh somebody's cranky"

"Izzy" I growled at my twin. She really knew how to push my buttons.

"Sorry, just wanted to know if you talked to Dad"

"Yes and guess who else is out of the Michales clan, me and Jamie."

"What?" Iziah obviously hadn't heard about what Dad had said.

"Yeah, as long as Jamie is with John she ain't his kid. Well I just stepped out on my own free will."

"Don't see why she just can't dump the fucker and be done with it"

"Because she loves him" I snapped at her. Looks as though Dad was right, Izzy was against this. Well it wouldn't be the first time I fought her.

"And you support her choice?"

"Yes because thats what family do, they support each other and Jamie is gonna need as much family as she can get right now"

"Look Raven, I don't like John. I never have and I never will. Everything about the man I despise and find offensive, you'd think it would be a waste of my time but for him to actually stick by her even though she's knocked up. I have to say a new found level of respect has been found"

"Gee thank you" I said dryly looking at my watch. Eight was drawing closer and despite all this present shit coming up, I was still excited about him coming over. (Again that was new)

"I mean it Raven, I respect him for not dumping her like almost every other guy would have, well except Eli of course"

Eli, that was a name I ain't heard in years. (Jamie's first boyfriend, he was killed in a car accident)

"Look Izzy, I have company coming over soon so I guess you have to make your choice. With Dad or with Jamie"

"Raven you should know by now, I'm on whichever side your on. So is Harmoni and Storm, because you ain't led us wrong so far. Why would you start now?"

"Thank you" I breathed a sigh of relief. Jamie wasn't without her siblings after all. As usual we were all there for her.
