My Best Friend Eminem, My Love Marshall Mathers

Chapter seventy-eight

Thank you to New Jersey (my home state) Newark and Seaside Heights for being my inpiration to create Natalia it wasn't easy trying to write her without getting out of my safety zone (of course I put a little bit of me in her) but it's mostly NJ that gave me the tools to create a strong, street smart, fearless character with a bit of a soft spot which I feel I could never create off the bat without any inpariation. I love living here I love this state and everything it offers. 

Chapter seventy- eight

            Months passed and things were peaceful. Marshall and I even agreed to do an interview together with Ronnie. Ronnie can walk now and his first word was not mama or dada but ‘Slim Shady.’ Which was close enough to dada, after that he started saying mama and dada, and he called his sisters, ‘sissy’ expect Hailie.

            “Welcome back to Good Morning America, they have been married almost a year from tomorrow they have a son and his name stage name is Eminem but he prefers to be called now Marshall for this event…Please welcome Marshall and Natalia Mathers.” Marshall and I sat down as we placed Ronnie on our lap.

            “He is adorable!” Robin Roberts exclaimed over the crowds applause. “Awe thank you!” I said. “Over a year married, a child, a wonderful album from your husband! How are you taking all this in?” she asked. Marshall and I looked at each other, “We have never really thought on it, I always loved Marshall for who he was I never loved him because he was famous…” I fiddle with the baby’s hands.

            “Marshall, you said that meeting Natalia was like bamm! Lighting…” “Yes it was…Like…I…I always had trouble expressing my feelings and it’s hard right now but when I first meet her…time just stops” said Marshall. I smiled as everyone awed us, “How are you dealing with the situations with Kim?” asked Robin, “Well, thank goodness nothing has happened we are more at ease” said Marshall. “Here’s your son!” Robin exclaimed. Marshall and I smiled and what I noticed he didn’t wear a hat. I’m glad he didn’t for once! Marshall fiddle with Ronnie hand as Ronnie gave Marshall a big smile.

            “Yes! This is Ronald ‘Ronnie’ Mathers…after his uncle and grandfather” I said. “Say hi Slim” I cooed in his ear. Ronnie smacked his hands on his shoes and smiled at the crowd. The crowd giggled and laugh with Ronnie. “He’s incredibly smart and he looks just like his daddy!” I exclaimed. “What is it like to be a young mom?” Robin asked. “I’m always terrified…I’m always afraid I might do something wrong that he’s not happy or fed enough” I said sternly. “No need to worry about that!” said Marshall, “Natalia is a wonderful mother a terrific wife and every day I feel like the luckiest man on this earth.”

            “How do you feel about all this?” asked Robin. “I feel like this is a dream come true I always did dream about meeting Eminem but I never dream of marrying him or having a child with him it’s crazy. I could never ask for a better life with someone like him. People can say whatever they want about him. They don’t know Marshall like I do. Eminem is just his stage name but it’s not him.”

Good morning babe! Happy Anniversary! I got a surprise for you later call me when you wake up. I love you.

Marshall

            I smiled at the note that Marshall left with the flowers. I gushed and giggled to myself. He remembered our wedding anniversary! I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the flowers. “Good morning honey!” Marshall exclaimed as he kissed my lips. “A year later and those lips still drive me crazy!” I groaned. Marshall chuckled “So does yours”. He starred into my eyes which gave me an unsettled feeling. “Marshall, What’s wrong?” I questioned, Marshall smiled “I got a surprise for you tonight” the unsettled feeling banished and turned into anxiouty. “But I got to be in the studio for awhile, I’ll be home in time” Marshall kissed me and grabbed his keys.
