I stared at him in shock. How did he even know I was here? I looked over at Hannah knowing damn well this was her doing.
"Surprise." Hannah said awkwardly, giving some weak jazz hands for embellishment.
"Hello Mr. Jackson I have a huge fan...." He grabbed Michael's hand and shook it vigorously. "I'm Doctor Worcestershire."
"Oh like the sauce." Michael smiled and shook his hand. The doctor threw down his clipboard and walked out.
"Poor chap has had a rather rough 20 minutes." David laughed. Michael made his way over to my bedside opposite of Prince and grabbed my hand. I looked over at Prince and he was staring daggers at Michael. If looks could kill well my baby would be dead.
"I have so much to explain and I have so much apologizing to do because I can't lose you and-
"Psh." Prince scoffed and my eyes widened. Oh boy.
"Is there a problem." Michael raised his eyebrow.
"Nothing." Prince smiled and then mean mugged Michael. "just smells like bullshit in the air that's all"
"I'm sorry who are you again." Michael said inching closer toward Prince.
"Is that an insult?" Prince got closer to Michael's face. By now they were face to face on either side of my bed. I was awkwardly in the middle of their stare down. The tension was thick and it was dead silent.
Luckily, David came in with the classic western showdown whistle and broke the awkward silence.
"Ooooookay boys...who wants coffee...we all do? Okay." she grabbed David and Prince's hand and dragged them out the room.
"Who is that guy?" Michael said still staring at the door,rubbing his thumb against my hand.
"Don't worry about it." I patted his shoulder.
"As I was saying, I talked to my mother and my brothers about our situation. I even talked to my good friend Brooke about us and I believe that we can fix this but the thought of almost loosing you. I was on the first flight here. It was a 3 hour and a half flight but if it means I'm right here the-"
"No..."
"What?" he asked, shocked
"No Michael." I snatched my hand away. "Do you even realize that I'm in here because of you. I was so emotionally stressed that my body shutdown. The stress didn't start until you called me and let me know that you have a baby on the way."
"Jasmyn I-"
"LET ME FUCKING FINISH!" I yelled. "I cried and cried over you. You walked away from me that day and told me you didn't care. I was miserable while you were cuddled up with another girl in the dating section of a lousy ass GQ magazine. You left me Michael. How am I supposed to forgive that?" My eyes started welling up and I fought to keep the tears from flowing but it was a losing battle.
"Baby.." He sighed.
"And I know being with me isn't easy because i'm a train wreck in the morning I'm a bitch in the afternoon. And every single day without warning I'm really mean to you. Which isn't right and I shouldn't do it but I do and I'm sorry. I neglect you when I'm working. And when I need attention I'm clingy. My hair is nappy as hell when I don't twist it every night. My skin is oily and God forbid I forget to shave. I-I'm a puzzle and you've fought like hell to solve me. But all the pieces aren't even in the damn box. I'm walking imperfection and you see past all that. You see potential in all my flaws. You accept me and you love me and you cuddle me in all your warmth and affection. You cover me in your kisses and wipe my tears. And you love me and you keep me safe and focused. And you cook me breakfast when I'm sick. You make me laugh me when I hate the world. You inspire my music a-and-" I took in a shaky breath through my crying and Michael took me in his arms and held me close. I nuzzled in breathing in his cologne that I haven't smelled in so long. It slowed my breathing and calmed me down. It was so warm in his arms. I felt the love radiating off him.
"Your everything this world could be to me." He pulled me back and lifted my chin to look at me. "Understand?"
I shook my head at him.
"The reason that I live?"
"Yes." He kissed me and got down on one knee. My hand immediately shot to my heart.
"This isn't where I wanted to do it but this is the best time." He cleared his throat and pulled out a small black box. "Ok so just imagine that this is a romantic candle lit dinner under a starry night sky and it's our anniversary." He smiled and giggled. He hesitated and started laughing again. "Ok Ok...are you ready?"
"Yes.."
"Ok" and he grabbed my hand.
"I can't promise you that dark clouds will never hover over our lives. I can't promise you that I won't mess up or saying something stupid. I can't promise you that our future will bring us rainbows and clear skies. I can't promise you that tomorrow will be perfect or that life will be easy. But what I can promise you is my infinite devotion. I can promise you my loyalty, my respect and my everlasting love for a lifetime. I can promise you that I'll always be right by your side, to hold your hand, to wipe your tears, my make you smile, I'll be with you through any crisis. I'll drop everything for you. I'll pray with you. I'll dream with you, build with you, and support you. I can promise you that I'll be your protector, your advisor, your counselor, your best friend, your lover, your everything. And with this ring I promise you that you will always be the lady in my life." He opened the box and I nearly pissed myself. The ring was more beautiful than me.

"And I can promise you that I will make you my wife and the mother of my child one day." He slide the ring on my finger and I heard applause at the door. I looked to the side to see Prince, David, and few nurses, and Hannah standing there. "Ok deadbeats moments over get back to work shoo shoo." She dismissed them and came in the room and closed the door behind them.
"So how's the happy couple." David asked.
"They're good not that you'd know anything about that."
"Look darling I don't hit women but one more hair on that chin of yours and I swear i'l-"
"WE.." I yelled. "we are good." He looked at Michael and he nuzzled his nose to mine.
"Very good and its going to be a lot better when you come home with me when they discharge you."
"Oh thank God take her all she does is eat my chips and drinks tea." Hannah yelled relived.
"And all you do is complain but no one says anything."
"Look here mr.fish n' chips say one more thing and I'll come over there and I'll knock the tea out ya ass."
"And do what throw it into the harbor?" David shot back at her.
"Your a child." Hannah whipped out her compact and started primping her hair.
"The girl who couldn't finish dying her hair is throwing insults around and I'm the child that's just lovely." Hannah gasped dramatically. "Oh I'm sorry that was rude of me to say."
"Thank you." Hannah slammed her compact closed.
"You look more like a lavish rooster."
"THATS IT!!" Hannah yelled and pushing her purse onto the ground. Michael ran and grabbed her and held her back and I started laughing at the entire situation. I don't know when they started hating each other but I love this. I glanced over at Prince and he sat on the couch looking shocked, you couldn't tell in his face but Prince is a master at masking his emotions but his eyes always gave it away.
