Michael's POV

"Hey fat lady!" I giggled, pinching Heaven's cheeks.

She squealed and and began bouncing up and down on my lap. I laughed as I struggled to keep her from bouncing right onto the ground.

"Calm down, baby girl. Crazy..."

She whined, twisting her body and trying to get out of my grasp. I chuckled and held her longer, watching her struggle. After a good laugh I finally put her down on the ground, which she greatly appreciated. She laid on her tummy and banged a toy block against the floor. I smiled and watched her. Who needs tv when you have kids? They're the best source of entertainment you can get.

A knock sounded at the door and I told the person to come in. Bill stepped inside the room. "They're on their way up." He informed me.

"They still don't know we're here right?"

He nodded. "They have no clue."

"Okay, well you're free to wait in the car or in the lobby."

He scrunched his eyebrows. "I don't think that's a good idea."

"She has her own security. Everything will be fine."

He sighed and nodded hesitantly, turning to leave the room. I went back to watching Heaven play for a few more minutes before the door swung open again."

"... so weird, right? I was like no way!" Zoe chatted to Jessie as they entered the room. "And then I- Oh my god!" She exclaimed when she noticed me.

"Daddy!" Junior shouted, bolting towards me. I smiled and stood up, scooping him up off of the ground.

"Hey, buddy! I missed you!" I said, kissing his cheeks.

Zoe walked over to where Heaven was on the floor and picked her up, putting kisses all over face. She smiled and whispered to her in a cute voice.

"Jessie, can you sit here with the kids for a second?" I asked. "Zoe and I need to talk in private."

"Sure thing." Jessie responded, grabbing Heaven out of Zoe's arms.

I turned and walked toward the bedroom in the back and Zoe followed behind me. Once inside, I shut the door behind us and turned to her.

"How did you know where I was?" She questioned.

"Lucky guess." I replied.

"Well why are you here?"

"Can't a man visit his wife?" I asked sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes. "I've only been gone for one day. I told you I would be back at the end of the week."

"Oh yeah, in the letter you left me after you snuck out with my son... That was very immature of you by the way."

She scoffed. "Immature?"

"Yes... Why would you sneak away like a teenager instead of just talking to me?"

She shook her head. "Don't do that. You know I tried to talk to you countless times. Don't pretend like you would've let me leave."

"I would have."

She raised an eyebrow. "Why are you here?"

"To get my son."

"He's staying with me."

I rolled my eyes. "Don't make this a bigger deal than it has to be. I'm taking Junior home with me."

"You're only doing this to get back at me."
