There Ain't No Me If There Ain't No You {A Michael Jackson Fan Fiction}

Part 25 - I Call It A Jackson Growth

*Michael's POV*

We've been here for a week so far, it's been truly amazing. I have noticed that Aubrey is starting to get incredibly moody, I know she's pregnant and all but she's scaring me. One minute she's happy and all lovey dovey then the next she tries to throat punch me. I tread carefully with my words and my actions, I don't want to die young or before I get married and I want to meet my child at least once before she kills me.

She's laying in bed at the moment and I walk in and lay beside her. I look at her and she's staring out the window. She gets up and walks over to the mirror and looks at herself. This can only go two ways, she'll either shrug her shoulders and say 'Ehh' or cry.

She lifts her shirt and looks at her stomach and squeals. I immediately get worried and leap out of bed and practically fly to her.

"What? What is it? What's wrong?" I say quickly.

"I have a teenie tiny bump!" She squeals, grinning like an idiot.

I watch her reaction for a moment, from what I thought was shear horror was actually pure happiness. I look at her stomach and she does have a tiny bump. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen, now I'm smiling like an idiot.

"Oh my gosh! It's beautiful." I gasp, placing my large hand gently over it. She looks up at me and smiles.

"I call it a Jackson growth." She smirks. I giggle.

"It's mighty cute." I smirk, she laughs.

"I want to find out the sex." She sighs, staring at her little baby bump in the mirror and pouting.

I wrap my arms around her from behind resting my head against hers and rub her belly softly.

"A few more weeks, then we can find out whether we are having a gorgeous baby boy or girl." I smile at her.

"Let's think of names over breakfast." She says.

"Baby we still have ages away until the baby arrives yet." I laugh.

"I know but I'm really excited!" She giggles and blushes.

I go and make some breakfast. Her cravings are out of control lately, this week it's bacon, everything needs to have bacon so I made scrambled eggs with bacon bits and extra bacon strips for her. She sits down and I make sure she takes her vitamins first, her doctor suggested she takes all these pregnancy vitamins throughout the pregnancy so I want to make sure she does. She starts eating and she looks deep in thought.

"For a girl...I love the name Elizabeth." She says.

"That's a beautiful name." I smile while sipping on my coffee.

"Any girl names you can think of?" She asks, chewing on some bacon.

"I adore the name Paris." I look over at her, at first I thought she was gonna hate it but then she smiled.

"I love it." She smiles.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes. It's a beautiful name! What about a boy? I want the boy to have your name in there somewhere." She says.

"You want the baby's name to have Michael in there if it's a boy?" I asked, abit shocked.

"Well yes." She grins.

"I'm not sure yet." I shrug.

"Neither am I but I definitely want your name to be the nickname." She says giving me a wink. I giggle and blush, she's so cute.

We spend the rest of the day relaxing on the beach, it's pure bliss. No work, no stress, no family drama. Aubrey has been through a lot, I would know because I was there by her side when it was happening. She's carrying our unborn child and I don't want all this drama and stress to have an impact on the pregnancy. I want to protect her and our baby.

My phone rings and I pick it up.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey Mike! I know you didn't want to be disturbed but you know how Mother is. She wants to check in on you and Aubrey and the little bun in the oven, she's going insane with the no contact over here." Janet laughs.

"Aw. We're great, I've never seen Aubrey so relaxed. She was thrilled this morning she noticed she now has a baby bump." I grin.

"Aw oh my god! Really?!" She gasps.

"Yes. In a few weeks we can find out if it's a boy or a girl, but she's already figuring out names." I laugh.

"Can you blame her? She's excited." I can practically hear her smile on the end.

Aubrey walks over and lays beside me on the blanket.

"Who's that?" She asks.

"It's Janet." I say.

"Oh tell her I said hey!" She smiles, laying her head on my chest.

"Aubrey says hey." I tell Janet.

"Hey Aubs. Well I should go, Mother must be anxiously waiting for me. I'll see you both when you get back. Bye!" She hangs up.

I put the phone down and wrap my arms around Aubrey. I promised her I wouldn't touch the phone while we're away unless it was an emergency but my Mother freaks out not hearing from me for days or weeks even though she knows where I am and what I'm doing.

"Everything okay baby?" She asks.

"Yeah my Mother just being her worrying self." I sigh, kissing the side of her head gently.

"Aww she's wonderful." She coos, kissing my arm softly.

I couldn't help but look down at her and think about where I am and how I got here. I still feel incredibly lucky to have her, I just can't wait to call her my wife. When our baby is born and we're married everything will truly be perfect, nothing can get in the way. To think when I met this woman all I wanted was to get rid of her because her attitude and whiny voice was pissing me off but now I don't want her to ever leave me. We have had everything thrown at us and our relationship has only just gotten stronger. I just hope nothing gets in the way before the wedding or birth.
