Love Needs Expression (PART TWO) 1980's

Chapter 26

I am a Jackson now--and I'm happy to be a part of the family officially.
I'm making Michael's dream come true--only one step at a time. He said he wanted thirteen children but afterwards told me he wanted a girl. So I've got a plan, and I'm going to accomplish....no matter how hard. " But pleassee! you CAN'T tell anyone yet! Dont go telling the cameras, yes it's a big deal but I wanna keep it between us right now, alright? Family's alright, just not the public. So please...Keep quiet untill I find out the gender. Can you do that?"
He nodded his head.
" Okay, now go in and finish your interview."

After that night, Michael told his whole family the news, and I had decided if it was true, I better go back home. I wanted to continue on the tour, but I knew if Michael wanted a child, I'd have to seriously take time off and commit myself.
I couldn't get a flight till that weekend so I had a few days--and Michael and I ended up doing some shopping in Tokyo.
He wanted to buy baby toys, and I told him maybe we should wait untill I found out the gender. But he was way ahead of the thought and just wanted to buy.
I really enjoyed watching him looking at the toys and giggling....I think he was wanting to have a baby anyday, and I knew his affection for children. And I smiled, as he picked up one of the girl dolls and just gazed at it for a moment.... " Buy it," I grinned, after he looked at me as if asking if he should get the toy, " I dont see why not."

The last few days I was in Japan Michael was busy, so I was stuck in either my dressing room or the hotel bedroom with the TV on.
I'm more of a go go go person, but that day I was feeling like down time sounded great. Yet somehow I came up with something to do and wrote down some boy and girl names and started jotting down words to a song... It didnt take me long to think of some creative names, Although I knew that Michael wanted the boys middle name to be "Michael" or the girl's middle name to be, " Katherine." I looked over the names and turned on the television to see if I would be inspired by sonething. Nothing. For the past hour I just stared at screen and soon after, I collapsed on the couch.
He went into the hotel room and noticed Jennifer lying on the bed, sleep talking to herself and the TV on.
" Aw," he smiled, rubbing the back of his hand on her cheek, " She's so cute when she's asleep." He grabbed the piece of paper that was creeping out beneath her body. It was titled, " Baby names".
It looked like a table chart--well organized. As went through the list, he saw names that he liked on both genders, grabbed a pen off the table and put a check by the ones he liked. " I really like the names you put down, Jeni. They're very creative! I checked the ones that stand out to me.
You're leaving tomorrow, I dont know if I'll see you at all--but know as you read this that I love you. Tell me the gender right away, please.
And I will try my HARDEST to be there when the time comes. I wouldnt miss the world to be there with you and living the moment of the beginning to be a father. ~Michael~"
