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

Part 26 - Rivalry (Part One)

*Aubrey's POV*

*2 Weeks Later*

We have been back from our little spontaneous escape for nearly a week and today is the day we find out whether our baby is a boy or girl. We're both so excited! Michael could barely keep still at the breakfast table this morning, I couldn't stop giggling at him. We both have half days at work so then we can spend the afternoon at our appointment.

I was at work in the maternity ward, coincidental. I was doing my rounds when my brother, Cody, came up to me out of no where.

"Cody...What are you doing here?" I ask, running up to hug him.

"Just wanted to see my little sister. Is that such a bad thing?" He laughs, hugging me back.

"It is when this is the first time you've ever visited me at work." I pull away then cross my arms.

"Alright you got me." He sighs.

"What's going on Cody?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"I wanted to let you know something before you came across it yourself..." Cody sighs.

"Came across what?" I ask.

"Christopher." He states. Christopher is my ex-boyfriend, we had a great relationship but only split because he moved to Australia.

"Oh..." I froze, I never thought in a million years I would ever see Christopher again.

"Are you okay? I know you haven't seen him for about 7 years." Cody asks softly.

"Yeah it's just...I haven't seen him in so long." I stutter.

"Well tonight will be your chance!" Cody springs on me.

"What?!" I exclaim.

"Tonight. I'm inviting you and Michael to dinner, Christopher will be there. I'm going to run away now before you say no." And with that he bolts.

I hate it when he does that. Cody and Christopher have always been friends ever since I introduced the two, they're like brothers. There's nothing bitter between Chris and I but it'll just be awkward...seeing him after all these years and him seeing my pregnant and engaged to someone else. Christ, I need to sit down.

*Later That Afternoon*

*Michael's POV*

I can't stop fidgeting at my desk, I'm way too excited to find out the sex of our baby today. I keep telling my assistant too, she's probably sick of me by now, the poor thing. I was bored so I decided to call Aubrey and see how my gorgeous girl and beautiful baby are doing. She picks up straight away and I smile like an idiot. It's almost feels like I've just newly come into this relationship that's how in love I am.

"Hello?" Aubrey answers.

"Hey baby. How's work?" I ask.

"Ahh...eventful." She hesitates. I furrow my brows, something must be wrong.

"What's bothering you?" I ask.

"What makes you think there is?" She almost nervously laughs her response.

"Because you've got that voice going on again. You only do that when there's something going on and you don't know what to do." I say, "So what's wrong?"
