Family Ties

Back On Camera

Roberta's POV

I always said that me and the camera have had a personal relationship since I was in diapers and I knew I was right. Like right now for example I'm now in my trailer getting ready to start shooting. Today is day four of shooting and so far so good. This movie might take me to a whole new heights. I just have a real good feeling about it. The only hard part is today is the first day away from my lady bug . Michael practically begged me to leave her home with him. So after hours of persuasion I finally let him keep her today. It's a good thing sort of because this gives me time to actually focus on the movie and gives me time to think about what I want to do for my birthday in less than two months away. By the end of this week I'll be back on the runway for the new Calvin Klein line and I'm super excited. I have a lot of his clothes in my closet. So yeah me and the camera are back at it.

Michael's POV

Today is one of very rare days ever. I'm off today. And I decide to spend it with my little lady. I practically had to beg Ro to leave her home. She finally gave in and left her here while she goes to work. My baby is back on the screen again. After the success of her first movie I'm glad she decided to branch out and do it again. To say that I am proud of her is an understatement. I'm beyond proud of her. To watch her work hard doesn't matter if it's on the runway or photoshoot, pagents or on film or even when she being a mom it's all a blessing and a sight to see. That's why I make it my business to go hard the way I do. It's all because of her and our newest addition to our family Madelyn. I do what I do so that they don't want for anything and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. It's the realization of being a parent. The greatest realization ever.

Roberta's POV

After six hours of shooting and acting I'm now in my trailer changing into some jeans and a long-sleeved shirt and putting on my black boots. I left my hair how the stylist left it nice and messy. I like it . I'm now home to spend time with my two joys before we have to leave for me , Michael and Madelyn's photoshoot. We made the cover of Family Magazine issue for this year. Next week I have to be apart of a cosmetology shoot. So jam pack isn't even the word. Speaking of word I have to get the word on what's wrong with Malissa like she has been really ify with me and that's not like her at all. She won't even say that much to me. I definitely don't like that all. Doing all of this thinking I didn't realize we were pulling up in front of the door. I get out and make my way up stairs when I heard singing coming from down stairs so I followed the voice. I went to the studio only to see the sweetest thing ever. Michael Is holding Lyn while she is sleep and he is singing I'll Be There .

Mike:I'll reach out my hand to you. I'll have faith in all you do, just call my name and I'll be there.

Me: let me be your heart, your joy and laughter, togetherness is all I'm after, just call my name and I'll be there.

Mike: Hey you. I didn't know you were standing there.

Me: I just walked in the door and I was on my way up stairs to rest before our photoshoot until I heard you're voice. When did she go to sleep?

Mike: oh yeah and she just went to sleep. We had a very good day.

Me: that's awesome baby. I'm glad that you're spending good times with her. She is becoming a daddy's girl thanks to you hahaha.

Mike:* gives me a kiss* well she looks like her mom who is also a daddy's girl so what can I say *winks and walk away* .

Me: get your nasty tail up stairs hahaha.

We went upstairs and layed Lyn down and decided to take a nap .

About two hours later I'm up and now sitting in the hair and make up chair in the studio for our family shoot. I have on a white long sleeve turtle neck shirt and black pants with pink high heels. I have on pink accessories and I have my hair flat ironed. Michael has on a red and black button down shirt and black jeans and Penny loafers. His hair is slightly curly and his make up is super nice. As for my baby girl she is dressed in a white babydoll dress with a pink long sleeve shirt underneath and matching pink stockings and white baby shoes. She has white and pink clips in hair which is growing really well now. She has a pink headband on as well.. After we are all gotten together we are now on the first shoot which is the cover shoot. I'm sitting on the stool and I have Lyn on my lap and Mike is standing behind me with his left hand on my shoulder. Somebody behind the camera is making Lyn laugh and she is smiling so big it's adorable. The next shoot Michael has on a white V-neck short sleeve shirt and I have on the same thing and dark Blue Jeans with black timberland boots. Lyn has on white long sleeve onesie and Blue Jeans and two ponytails. The first frame is her sitting by herself holding a ball, then it's her and Michael, then it's me and her. The last two is me holding her because she fell asleep Mike is looking at her on one side. The last one is I'm sitting on the stool and Mike got his arms wrapped around me and he is kissing my cheek and I'm laughing because I'm about to fall but it's good fun.

When we get in the car I'm as beat as a drum. I guess I'm not the only one who feels the same way. Lyn is in her carseat and is knocked out. Mike is leaning against the window and is knocked out as well. I'm snuggled up against him and I'm sleep in a min.

Michael's POV

We must've been really tired because I'm awoken by Bill saying that we are home. When I wake up I'm in awe at the sight. My girls are completely out.

Me: Baby... Babe...

Ro: huh...

Me: we're home.

Ro: already?

Me: yeah

We got inside and man I don't think I've ever been so happy to see the inside of my house. We got inside and everything started to feel like it was moving in fast motion. Before we knew it we were in our little lady room putting her to sleep. My favorite part of the day. Is watching Ro as she starts to sing to Lyn. She sings certain songs and some of them are Jackson 5 , my songs, Whitney, or even Janet's songs. She sounds lovely. She'll close her eyes and rock with her in rocking chair and sing. Tonight she sung a song that I love so much but in this moment it's just really special she was singing I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston.

Ro : I don't really Need To look very much further, I don't want to have to go where you don't follow, I'm holding back again this passion inside can't run from myself, there's nowhere to hide, but don't make me close one more door, I don't want to hurt anymore, stay in my arms if you dear, or must I imagine you there, don't walk away from me, I have nothing, nothing, nothing if I don't have you.

Me:* Kisses her on her forehead * You know what's my favorite part of the day?

Ro: what

Me: is when I get to watch you put our daughter to sleep.

Ro: yeah... You know what's funny..

Me: what's up

Ro: when we first met and we became friends and we talked about how much we deeply cared for children.

Me: yeah I just never knew that we would be looking at our child.

Ro: yeah it's funny but just look at how much we've been through . The outcome is right here.

Me: I guess all of it is worth it.

After putting Lyn in her crib . She turned on her night light and turned off her bedroom light. We walked into our bedroom and climbed into bed I turned off the light and cuddle with my one and only only to find her sleeping in my arms. I kissed her head and begin to dose off. Thank god for another day...
