Who's the father?

LaToya's POV

"I just spoke with my lawyer. I'll take Michael down to his office this morning and get the paperwork signed for the restraining oreder" Joseph says, walking into the living. "Then hopefully all this will be over" mother smiles through purses lips and goes into the kitchen to start breakfast.

"This is ridiculous" I sigh heavily, when mother leaves the room. "Why should we have to go through all of this? Lisa was locked up until Leanne and Michael decided to let her out" I frown. "Yes, I'm aware of that, but there's nothing we can do about that now. All we can do is deal with..."

"The fall back of yet another problem Leanne has caused" I mumble. "What's that supposed to mean?" He frowns. "I mean. Ever since that girl turned up she's caused nothing but problems for this family, especially for Michael. He was doing really well until she turned up. He was doing well at work and starting to get his life back on track and now look what's happened. He was finally back on the right track and..."

"Michael. Is just as responsible for Lisa getting out as Leanne and as for him getting on the right track. I'd hardly call him following suit with his brothers and stealing money from the company to go out partying and paying women for sex"

"Yeah, and Leanne was one of those hookers and..."

"Don't you ever call her that again" he snaps in a hushed tone so nobody hears us. "Do you think she chose to do that? To get beaten and forced to do what she did? No! She didn't have a fucking choice. Yes she's had a lot of issues but can you really blame her? That poor girls been through enough to drive anybody crazy" he frowns and I don't say anything.

"What about girls that get dragged down Allys and raped? Or babies that get stolen from their parents and sold on black markets like objects? Or people who get mugged? Do you think those people asked for that to happen?"

"Of course not!" I frown "but if that was me. And my aunt tried to do that to me I would have..."

"Well it's very easy to sit on your ass and say would you would do, but being in a situation is different. Leanne was a 15 year old little girl and just lost her parents. Do you think she deserved all that?" He raises an eyebrow and again I don't say anything, but shake my head.

"Of course not" I sigh "I admit Leanne has caused a lot of problems, but Michael isn't exactly innocent either. He's been spoilt little brat and a pain in my ass ever since he learned to walk and talk so don't act like she's to blame for all the problems Michael has in life. If anything she's done more good"

"How has she done more good?" I frown confused. "Every girl that boy has ever brought home never give a shit about him and used him for one thing or another. Usually His money and every one of them have left him broken hearted, but Leanne clearly cares about him and not money or.. "

"How do you know she cares more about him than his money? Look at Lisa. When she first turned up we all thought she loved Michael and was really sweet and caring and look how that turned out. She just wanted his money like the rest of them" I shrug. "Are you serious!? You just have to look into that girls eyes to see how much she loves your brother. And have you ever heard her talk about money or expensive vacations or cars or anything like that? No. And not that it's any of your business, but Leanne doesn't need Michael's or anybody's money because she has plenty of her own that her parents left her plus a house and a whole bunch of other stuff too. And you wanna talk about Michael getting his life back on track? He only started doing that when she turned up. Haven't you noticed how much he's changed? He finally went to rehab and got off the painkillers, he does great at his job, he even opened up his own hotel and he has more confidence than he's ever had in his life and that's because of her. You can't blame Leanne for every problem Michael has in his life because the majority of them were caused by Michael himself"
