Birthday Surprise ! Request ! (Pat Benatar x Michael Schenker)

~requested by chrisreads912~

It was a warm evening in April 1980, and the world outside was alive with the sounds of celebration. The air was filled with laughter, the scent of blooming flowers, and the sweet promise of spring. But for me, Pat Benatar, this night held a secret that sent my heart racing.

I was nervously pacing in the cozy little hotel room, the soft glow of candles casting flickering shadows on the walls. Michael Schenker, my beloved rock god, was about to arrive, and I could hardly contain the excitement bubbling within me. Tonight was special—not just because it was his birthday, but because I had a surprise that would change everything.

I had wanted to tell him sooner, but the moment never felt right. Now, with his birthday upon us, I could no longer keep this precious secret to myself. The thought of his reaction made my heart race even faster. Would he be as thrilled as I hoped?

Just then, the door swung open, and there he was: Michael. His blond hair caught the candlelight, and his eyes sparkled with that familiar mix of mischief and warmth. He stepped inside, his guitar slung casually over his shoulder, and his smile spread across his face like sunshine breaking through clouds.

"Happy birthday!" I exclaimed, rushing into his arms. He enveloped me in a tight embrace, his warmth and scent grounding me in the moment.

"Thanks, babe! You always know how to make a guy feel special," he replied, pulling back to look at me. "What's the plan for tonight?"

I hesitated, my heart pounding. I took a deep breath, the words I'd rehearsed tumbling through my mind. "Well, I thought we could celebrate just us. I have a surprise for you."

He raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? What kind of surprise?"

I gestured toward the small table set up with a decadent chocolate cake adorned with candles, sparkling wine chilling beside it. "First, let's eat! But there's more," I added, feeling a blush creep onto my cheeks.

As we shared a slice of cake, laughter filled the air. Michael's eyes twinkled as he recounted tales from his band's latest tour. He was so animated, and watching him was like basking in the glow of a star. But soon, I knew it was time to share my truth.

"Michael," I began, my voice trembling slightly, "there's something important I need to tell you."

His laughter faded as he sensed the seriousness in my tone. "What is it, Pat? You're scaring me."

I reached for his hand, feeling the warmth of his skin against mine. "I'm pregnant," I whispered, my heart pounding as I searched his eyes for understanding.

For a moment, silence enveloped us. Then, slowly, a smile spread across his face, lighting up his features like a thousand suns. "You're kidding," he said, disbelief turning into joy. "Are you serious?"

I nodded, tears of happiness filling my eyes. "I am. We're going to be parents."

His laughter erupted, a sound so pure it echoed in my heart. "This is the best birthday gift ever! I can't believe it!" He pulled me into another embrace, spinning me around as if we were on stage, the world fading away.

"I've dreamed of this," he murmured, his breath warm against my ear. "You and me, a family. It's perfect."

The weight of uncertainty lifted from my shoulders as we sank into the reality of our love and this new journey we were about to embark on together. Michael's excitement was infectious, filling the room with an electric energy.

"Let's celebrate! We have a lot to look forward to!" he said, his voice brimming with enthusiasm.

"Definitely!" I replied, feeling a surge of happiness. As we clinked our glasses, I realized that this was more than just a birthday celebration—it was the beginning of something beautiful.

We spent the rest of the evening wrapped in each other's arms, dreaming about our future. I could see it all clearly: late-night jam sessions, lullabies whispered under starlit skies, and a love that would only grow stronger.

With Michael by my side, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, we would face them together, our hearts forever intertwined. And in that moment, I felt like the luckiest woman in the world.
