Security : Michael Jackson

Chapter 47

June 29th, 2001
*Anastasia's POV*

We were now in the car, while Javon was escorting me, Michael and the kids to Hayvenhurst. It was time to tell his family that I'm pregnant.
I told Janet to keep her mouth shut, since it's going to be a surprise, and she promised that she wouldn't say anything. So I really hope that she kept her promise.

After a 2 hours ride, we finally arrived. The four of us than started walking towards the main door, and Michael knocked a few times, before Katherine opened it and smiled widely at us.

"It's so good seeing you guys again." she excitedly said, before hugging us all.

We then stepped inside, and like usual, we went outside where the entire Jackson Family was already sitting in their seats.
Once we finished to say our hello to everyone, we also took a seat around the dining table and started eating launch and chatting.
I was really nervous on sharing the news... nervous in a positive-kind-of-way.

Michael clearly noticed, since he grabbed my hand caressing the back of it with his thumb, and flashing me a big smile. Katherine noticed, and she was the first one to ask...

"Is everything okay between the two of you?" she asked, we both looked at her and started giggling.
"Well... mother... family, me and Anastasia have something to tell you." Michael said while standing up, I sucked my teeth and also stood up, still holding his hand. My legs were shaking, everyone was looking at us. After a few seconds of silence, I decided to talk.
"I'm pregnant." I announced.

Everybody's eyes went wide, their jaws dropped on the floor, they all started to freak out and applauding before walking towards us, hugging and congratulating us for the pregnancy.
The last one was Katherine... she walked closer to me, her smile so big that it was contagious... her eyes were filled with tears. Tears of joy. She immediately embraced me in a warm-loving hug, while caressing my back.

"Congratulations, sweetheart. You are going to be an amazing mother... you'll see, this time it will work. I strongly believe that. God bless you, Anastasia." she whispered while we were still hugging, I couldn't help but cry... yes, tears of joy. Her words really touched me... she is like a second mother to me, she means everything to me. The bond that I have created with Katherine was... special.
"Thank you, mother." I whispered as soon as we stepped back from the hug, her eyes went wide when she heard the way I called her. She then cupped my face and placed a sweet kiss onto my forehead, like a mother would do to her daughter.

When I turned around, I noticed Michael on the floor, on one knee, facing me, holding a tiny box in his hand. What the...-
My eyes went really wide, I immediately covered my mouth with the palm of my hand. Now this is unexpected.
He gently grabbed my hand, while smiling widely at me...

"Anastasia... my love... I have been wanting to do this for a while now, but I wanted to wait for a special occasion, and here it is. Now I can't wait anymore." he started, my legs were literally shaking, they felt like jelly. Tears were rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. "You have been my best friend, you still are... but you are also the love of my life, the woman that I have been looking for in a lifetime. Now that I have finally found you, I'm not planning on letting go of your hand... whatever happens. I have never seen anyone, treat my children the way you did.. and what is shockingly amazing is... that they immediately felt comfortable and attached to you... like a mother with their children. You didn't only stole my heart, but also the heart of my children and of my family." he added, I was now sobbing. "I love you Anastasia Johnson... of course it's not possible to spend a lifetime with someone... so let's start with forever. Will you marry me?" he then finished.

I fell onto my knees, in front of him, sobbing and smiling widely at the same time, nodding.

"YES!" I said, causing him to chuckle. He then put the engagement ring on my left ring finger, before cupping my face and pressing his lips onto mine in a sweet kiss. Everyone gave us an applause.

*Michael's POV*

What I was feeling now, is indescribable. My heart exploded like thousands fireworks. I was the happiest man alive... I am now engaged to the woman that I love the most. And in seven months, she is gifting me with a child. What more could I wish? Nothing. Because I already have everything I need.

We then finally stood up from the floor, and I immediately embraced her in a sweet hug.

My brother Marlon immediately ran inside, and came back with a bottle of champagne and started opening it letting the cork jump in the air. Prince and Paris got scared by the sound, and I couldn't help but giggle before hugging them.
As soon as Marlon poured the champagne in the glasses, we all made a toast, before taking a sip of it... well, everyone besides Anastasia, she took a sip of her orange juice.

After we finished drinking the champagne, and chatted for a while, I walked inside going into to the kitchen, were my mother was washing the dishes. As soon as she heard me, she turned around facing me and flashing me a sweet smile, before walking closer and embracing me in a lovely hug.

"I'm so happy for you, Michael. I'm happy that you found someone you truly love, someone who truly respects you... someone who makes you happy." she said, after stepping away from the hug, and caressing my cheek. I smiled widely.
"Thank you mother... it means a lot to me. I'm happy like never before." I replied smiling back at her. She simply nodded, before embracing me in a hug again.

Suddenly, Prince and Paris entered the kitchen running towards us, hugging our legs, causing me and my mother to laugh. We are now officially a little family... thank you God, for blessing me with such amazing people.
