The Best Christmas Ever (Michael Jackson Fanfic)

New Years In New York (Part 2)

December 31, 1988: 1:00pm
Michael's POV
Then we all made it out the plane. We didn't have to go to the baggage claim since we already have our bags. So, we exited the airport and as we got outside, the cold wind blew in our faces. It's freezing! And then it started to snow. Well, that's New York. Then I saw Jim out front waving to us. We walked over there and we greeted him. He took our bags and placed them in the trunk. I opened the door for María and she smiled and  got in, with Michelle and then Alex got in and I got in behind and closed the door. Jim got in and drove off to the hotel.
Jim: "So, how was the flight?", he asked, quickly glancing through the rear view mirror.
Michael: "It was nice, very relaxing", I answered.
Jim: "Well, that's good. What're you planning on doing this New Year's Eve?"
Michael: "Well, I'll be performing at Madison Square Garden at about 8pm but before that we may just walk around Times Square"
Jim: "That's sounds cool. Be careful and stay safe. It's crazy out in Times Square. Call me if you need me to give you ride, I'd be happy to show you around New York"
Michael: "We will. Thank you Jim", I said with a smile. Jim smiled and looked at the road, "Hey María?", I said as I scooted over to her.
María: "Yes honey?", she said facing me and smiled.
Michael: "You want to know a secret?", I whispered to her.
María: "Alright", she whispered back.
Michael: "You ready?", I asked, whispering and scooting closer to her.
María: "Yeah", she smiled. As I was about to whisper something, she turned and faced me and I kissed her.
Michael: "Surprise", I said with a chuckle.
María: "Nice one", she said with a smile, "Very clever", she smirked.
Michelle: "Momma. Momma", Michelle said waking up.
María: "Yes princesa?", she said to her.
Michael: "What's 'prin-cesa' mean?", I asked.
María: "Princess", she smiled at me.
Michael: "Oh...okay", I smiled.
Michelle: "Where we going?", she said sleepily.
Michael: "Well, first we're going to the hotel and then relaxing for a while and then going to Times Square"
Alex: "What do we do there?"
Michael: "Well, we're just going to walk around and try not to get mobbed by fans and just have a good time, alright?"
Alex: "Okay Daddy", he said with a smile. Then we arrived to the hotel. Jim got out and got our bags out the trunk. We all got out and I closed the car door. We waved to Jim and he drove off. The bell man took our bags as we went to register for our room. But as we were about to go in, Alex slipped on the ice and fell right on his back. Alex then started crying.
Michael: "Ohhh come here buddy", I said lifting him up and holding him in my arms, while rubbing his back. Alex laid his head on my shoulder while crying softly, "It's okay. You're okay", I whispered to him.
Then we all went inside and registered for our room. We did just that and went up to the room. The bell man brought our bags up and I tipped him and we got settled in until it was time to go.
Michael: "Are you okay now, Alex?", I asked him as I laid him down on the bed.
Alex: "A little", he said calming down.
Michael: "Well, let's all just relax for a while and then we'll go to Times Square", I said laying down on the other bed.
Alex: "Mommy? Daddy? what are we going to do?"
María: "Well--um.. Ask Daddy", she said laying Michelle down next to Alex and covering her up with the blanket.
Michael: "We may go see a museum and I may show you where I performed as a child", I said with a smile as María laid down next to me, "And I'll have to perform tonight but we'll still have time to celebrate New Year's Eve together"
Alex: "Can I perform with you too, Daddy?", he asked, turning to me.
Michael: "Well Alex, I'd love for you to perform with me but you're still too little"
Alex: "But you started performing at 5"
Michael: "Yes, I know but-- well... Alright. Let's talk about it later, okay?"
Alex: "Okay Daddy", he smiled and went to sleep. I turned to María, who was already fast asleep. I put my arm around her and went to sleep myself.

~1 1/2 hour later~ 2:30pm
A half-hour later, we all woke and got ready to go. I put on my coat and a scarf and María did the same and zipped up Michelle's coat up and put a scarf on her. I zipped up Alex's coat and put a scarf on him as well. We all put on our hoodies and walked out the hotel room, I made sure I had the room key before we went to the elevator. As we got to the lobby and exited outside, I saw Jim there.
Jim: "Hey guys, come on. I'll show you around New York", he said as we walked over to him.
Michael: "Well, thanks Jim", I said with a smile.
María: "Thank you Jim. Sorry for the trouble", she said and smiled.
Jim: "Oh it's no trouble at all. It's my pleasure", he smiled as he opened the door and then walked around to his side. María got in with Michelle and I got in after with Alex and closed the door. Then Jim drove off.
