I Only Care About You (Michael Carrick) -COMPLETED-

Chapter 26.

‘’Well thank you for having us, we’ll see you tomorrow I guess’’ I chuckled as we said our goodbyes to Col and Wayne and little Kai. I gave Col a hug and a kiss on the cheek, Wayne did the same to me. I gave Kai a little hug and the men shook hands, as men do.

‘’Yes, we’ll see you tomorrow’’ Wayne confirmed.

‘’Alright, bye!’’ Michael said, carrying the bags out to the car. I waved with my free hand that wasn’t occupied by carrying Jacey.

I strapped Jacey’s seat into the back and then got into the car myself.

Michael turned the radio on as we drove home.

‘’So, what do you think will happen with Cristiano?’’ He said to me, breaking the silence. I sighed.

‘’I don’t know. I don’t want anything to happen. Jacey doesn’t need him as a father, he has you, and your 10 times the father Cristiano could ever be’’ I gave a small smile to Michael who blushed.

‘’Thanks, but you and I both know he won’t go down without a fight’’ he crumpled his eyebrows together

‘’Yeah, but neither will we, Jacey is way better off with us. He’ll grow up in a safe environment and not with some gay like Cris and all the different girlfriends that he’ll have in the years to come. I mean what influence will that have on Jace? He’ll turn out a wreck, we can’t let this happen…’’

He sighed and gripped the wheel and then loosened up a little as we turned onto our street.

‘’I know, all we can do is fight our corner, we know what’s best for Jacey and that’s all we want’’

‘’I guess you’re right…’’ I trailed off towards the end of the sentence. We pulled up on the drive of Michael’s house and jumped out of the car.

I opened the back door of the car and got Jacey out. Michael unlocked the door to the house and we went inside. I immediately went and set Jacey down in his nursery as he was sleeping.

I changed him out of his little jeans and shirt into a red baby grow that said ‘I’m the little Red Devil’ on it. He looked so adorable. He was such a good baby, he never cried that much and was never fussy or disruptive when we took him out. I smiled and gently set him down in his cot. I turned on the night-light and closed the curtains. I switched the baby monitor on and left the door open as I left the room.

I head Michael call me from downstairs. I quickly made me way into the lounge where he was sitting on the sofa. He had a letter in his hand.

‘’Read it’’ he said, looking at me with worry in his eyes. My shaky hand reached out and took the sheet of paper from his grasp.

‘Miss Edwards,

We are writing to inform you that Mr Cristiano Ronaldo has put in a request to have you meet in court over the deliberation of the custody of your son, Jacey Duncan Edwards Ronaldo.

The request has been formally accepted to which you are required to appear in court on the 27th of February 2013.

Regards.’

I looked at Michael who had the same expression on his face as I did.

Pure and obvious fear.
