Unknown Child

Part 8.1

Michael

Paris and Prince woke up from their naps first. So their nanny took them to the theme park to see Bubbles and play on the rides. The world knows about Paris and Prince they just have not seen their faces, they don't know about Michaela at all. I was going over some footage from past shows in the theater. When I notice Maria pointing at me and squating down. I looked up then when I saw Michaela running toward me I ran the opposite way laughing.

"Come catch me Mya," I yelled. She was running behind me rubbing her eyes.

"No daddy you run to fast for me." She said as she stopped and sat down in one of the theater chairs.

"Aww." I said as I went to sit down beside her.

"Did you have a good nap Mya?" I asked her. She hopped on my lap and nodded.

"You want to go to the park with your brother and sister?" I asked her.

"Is Krissy here?" she asked me.

"You know Krissy is not here. I'm talking about Prince and Paris." I told her. she looked at me with her head tilted.

"My sister is Krissy." She said. "When is my mommy coming to get me?" 

"Hey how about we go play a game in the game room?" I picked her up and put her around  my neck trying to change the subject because i'm not sure if Whitney will even call. It's not on purpose, it's  just Whitney seems to get sidetracked.

We played till Paris and Prince came back and Maria started to make dinner. I went and sat the kids down in the den. 

"Okay Prince who is this?" I pointed to Paris.

"Sista." He answered then I pointed to Mya. "Sista" he said again.

"See Mya your his sister too and and you his brother. And Paris is your sister." I told her as I stood Paris up in my lap.

"But my mommy not his mommy." She said. This girl is too smart I have to talk to Whitney about school because I feel she should start school when she now instead of next year.

"Yeah but i'm they daddy too." I told her.

"Okay. I play the piano now." She ran off toward the piano and played the one song she knows twinkle twinkle. The instructor is coming tomorrow to teacher her a song that will make her grandmother so happy.

I played on the floor with Paris and Prince until Maria announced dinner was ready.We ate together and of course Paris was the first out like a light with her head laying in her food while sitting in her high chair. I let Prince run around while I gave her a bath, Michaela asked Maria to help her fixed her bath water.

After i finished with Paris I put her in her crib and went looking for my two other kids. I found Prince on the floor asleep, seems he ran himself tired. I gave him a bath and put him in his room. I went back to Paris and Michaela room but only saw Paris and no Michaela. It was going on 9 o'clock at night, I looked around downstairs for her, in the studio, in the new piano room I hadn't showed her yet. Then I went to Maria's room only to hear her talking spanish and Michaela tiny voice talking back. I guess she has been picking up on the language, since she been here she's been a sponge. 

I knocked on the door, Maria answered and stepped out and closed the door. 

"Aloha senor Michael." She said.

"Hi Maria I was just going to put Mya down for the night." I told her.

"Eh senor Michael is she uh, sad, she cry after bath." She said to me.

"Why what happened?" I asked her.

"Her mama did not call and she wants her abuela." She said. I ran my hand over my face. "Did you try her mama today?"
