Just You And Me (A Michael Jackson Story)

Chapter 82: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?

Charlotte's Point of View

"God, Michael..." I say, tears of joy rolling down my eyes "She's so beautiful.."

"Just like her Mommy..." Michael says, snuggling his nose against my cheek...

"I can't believe it...Our third child.." I say breathless...

"What should we name her?" Michael asks, holding her cute little hand..

"Well.." I say thinking.."I've always liked the name Jessica...Jessica Katherine Jackson..."

"Hmm, that is a pretty name for our little baby girl..." Michael says, looking down at our princess, his eyes full of tears.."Yeah, let's name her that..."

"Welcome home, Jessica..." I say, covering my mouth from crying even more.."I-I just want to tell you, how lucky we are of having you..."

I look up at Michael's face, and he has tears rolling down his cheeks...Aww, My baby

I cup his face in my free hand, and kiss his forehead..."I love you, Michael..."

"I-I love you too, baby..." He says, wrapping his arms around me...

But, what's got me wondering is a whole different thing...Why was Michael and everybody crying back at the Hospital?...I want to ask him, but I feel like it's going to be really weird.

"Umm, Michael?" I ask shyly...

"Yes, My Princess?" He responds sweetly...

"Umm," I say, clearing my throat.."Why were you crying back at the Hospital?...I thought you were happy of having Jessica, I didn't know you felt sad..." I say covering my face...

"Hold up," Michael says, uncovering my face..."I am happy of having Jessica in our lives now, but, *sighs* I don't really want to talk about what happened back at the Hospital..."

"Michael," I say, pulling on his shirt "Please, tell me what happened, I want to know because you seem so sad when you talk about it, and seeing you this sad, breaks my heart and you know that..."

He takes a long sigh, and rubs his tired eyes...It's past midnight, and I'm not that tired...

"When you were giving birth, you...you--" He says, as the tears cut him off...

"Mike, Come here.." I say, comforting him - by rubbing my hand up and down his back - "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, I understand.."

"No, it's okay...Y-You need to know what happened.." He says, trying to hide his sniffles "You went into a coma, for about five hours after you gave birth to Jessica..." I says, tears rolling down his cheeks

I become to a complete silence, the whole room is quiet except from Jessica's quiet baby sounds...I didn't know that happened, damn, I put Jessica through all that trouble...And, I bet Michael and everybody suffered too, God, Bless his pour little soul.

"Michael," I say, unable to speak "I-I don't know what to say..."

"I-I thought I lost you forever..." Michael cries out...

I sigh and cover my face from crying.."I-I almost killed our child, Michael...I freaked out too much..God, this is all my fault. I put you and Jessica through a lot of trouble. Especially my baby girl right here..." I say, caressing her forehead "I put her in danger, Michael.." I say, as tears burn my eyes...
