Michael's POV

"JoJo, Mike is here!"
"Babe! Can you come help me take this dress off?"
"Mike make yourself at home man, I'll be back down"

While Jon was going upstairs to help Trixie out, Michael made his way to the living room to see what Prince was getting into.

Well waiting for his friends Michael felt a slight pang of jealousy because at times he wished that he had what they had. He wished he had someone who would be with him for the good or for the bad, but also someone who wasn't just there for his money or the status; he wanted something real. But he also admired the couple as well, he loved how they flowed and had open communication. He saw how well they just simply complimented each other.

Sitting next to his daddy while playing with the toys from Aunties Trixie's toy box, Prince starts sensing something is wrong with his daddy, so he decides to distract him. "Daddy?"

Completely in his own world, Michael turns to Prince and blankly says "Hmm?"
"Look tea set Daddy! It's brown!" Pushing his eyebrows together and looking Prince kind of confused, Michael tries to figure out why Prince is excited about a brown tea set, then he realizes that Prince had said brown instead of gold which made Michael giggle a little. "Son the color is gold, we gotta start teaching more than the basic colors I see.
"Can we play tea party?" Laughing at his goofy smile, Michael says yes and gets on the ground and helps Prince lay out the tea set.

"Daddy pinky up!" Giggling at Prince while he raised his eyebrow at his son being a little bossy while showing him how to play tea party, Michael ends up asking him who taught him how to play.

"Prince who taught you how to play, Auntie Kylie?" "No. Miss Liswa and Wiley!" Caught totally off guard by what his son had just said, Michael asked him again and Prince said those two names again. Before Michael could ask anymore questions he hears Trixie and Jon talking and walking to the living room; knowing that Prince gets easily distracted he decides to give up and just swing by the daycare Monday to get some information from Kylie.

After sitting in the living room for a while chit chatting and playing with Prince, Jon ends up parting ways because he has a late night songwriting session and has to get going. While Trixie walks Jon out and to say their goodbyes in private, Michael looks at a sleeping Prince and tucks him tight on the couch then walks to the kitchen grabbing some orange juice.

"I swear you and that orange juice", looking up at his best friend smirking, Michael decides to make sure to fill up the orange juice to the glass brim. Looking at each with straight faces and pretending to hate one another, Trixie tells him "You're annoying". While Michael fires back, "you love it! And I'm not annoying, I just have unique qualities."

Looking at him in disbelief, Trixie makes herself comfortable on the black velvet bench at the breakfast nook, while Michael sits across from her on a stool by the kitchen island. Once both are seated and comfy, they sit in silence for a while and stare at each other waiting for someone to say something. Michael sipping his orange juice contemplates on how he should even start the conversation, but just like always Trixie beats him to the punch.

"Alright Jackson what do you want to talk about first? The girl you went home with last night or the girl thought you were gonna go home with."

Trixie's POV

Sitting there in her cute cream lounge silk set while hugging her oversized fur cardigan by crossing her arms; she looks at her best friend with determined eyes ready for him to just spill and stop stalling about last night and that Presley girl.
