As the warm sunlight bleeds through the white curtains, casting its light on a wept sleeping man, who's 18 weeks pregnant, laying upon the soft silk sheets stained with his runny makeup and salty tears. The smell of bacon and pancakes wake him up, he inhales through his nose as he stretched out his arms and back with a relieved groan.

He pushed himself off the bed and walked into the bathroom, he turned on some young warm water in the bathtub as he pours some Epsom bath salts with bubble soap. He walks over to the mirror and opened his medicine cabinet and took his meds before getting his makeup remover and cotton pads to take his mostly wiped-away makeup off. He walks back to the tub and turned off the water and stripped himself from his clothes to his underwear, he steps his foot in and fully slides into the water as it takes him in and the bubbles surround him.

As he takes a washcloth and squirts a bottle of dove soap, he lathered it and washed over his worn-down body muscles, Michael drains the water out and gets out of the tub and picks up his clothes, and threw them in the dirty hamper.

He finds some fresh underwear and puts them on, gets a robe, and wraps it around him. Before leaving the bathroom, he looks at the mirror and rubs his now two-month belly, "Hey, little one." He spoke to his growing child inside of him, "it's just you and me now, but hopefully when your father gets his shit together, we'll be a happy family" He closed his robe and tied it before walking downstairs, as he walked downstairs as the smell of fried pork invades his nostrils.

Michael enters the kitchen and sees his sister, Janet, and her boy toy, Renee. Bill walks up to him and says, "Mike, I could explain--" before he could come up with an explanation, Michael cuts him off, "no need." He said holding his finger up, he strolled over to Janet and Renee and fold his arms, "ahem." He cleared his throat, grabbing Janet and Renee's attention, "oh-- hey, Mike, I was just making some breakfast before taking you to one of your appointments." She said as she turns off the stove.

"Wait, huh? How do you know-- you read my appointment journal, didn't you?" He put his knuckles on his hips, "yup, now eat up and get dressed. You have your next ultrasound appointment and other stuff you've written down." She said, fixing her brother a plate of bacon, eggs, fruit, and two stacks of pancakes. Michael takes the plate and utensils and then sat down on the island before he starts to dig in, he sees Stephen outside mowing the grass. "What's he doing here? Didn't he cost more trouble enough?" He said, stabbing his fork into a freshly cut strawberry and eating it, Janet walks over to see for herself as she pours Michael a glass of orange juice, "well, he was just as embarrassed as you were, Mike. I mean, he needed a job, at least he's trying unlike that heifer--" She stops herself from ranting too much on Janelle, though she wanted to punch the homewrecker in the face, Stephen seemed to have already done that.

Michael continues to eat till he couldn't anymore, "well, I don't want any drama right now, what if I want to bring Prince back into my life along with my child? And he's here, knowing what he did? All hell's about to break loose." He said, gulping down his OJ. Stephen opens the door and comes to the three's surprise, but mostly Michael's, he was shirtless. His warm ivory skin and his fit-toned muscles are enough to make Michael's mouth water, "hey, dunk, mind if I get a cold drink?" He asked her, wiping away his sweat with his white wife-beater.

"Sure thing..." She said, slightly teasing Michael's gaze at Stephen's body and nudging him to come back to reality, walking over to the fridge and taking out a bottle of Naked green juice, tossing him the bottle. He retrieves it, "thanks." He says as he twists the top and swallows the juice. Michael's body starts to heat as he starts to feel the texture of sweat on his body, but nothing there, and a tinging sensation and wetness downstairs.
