Chapter 12 - A Not So Happy Reunion

Weeks went by and Rose and Michael were both happy, Rose's bruises healed and her weight increased until she was back to a healthy weight. Rose also moved back in with Michael so they could be a proper couple. Everything was going so well until one day George and Lord Jefferson arrived at the ranch, Rose and Michael were curled up together on the sofa. Michael was lying down on his back and Rose was lying on her back between his legs with her head resting on his chest. Rose held Michael's hand in hers and was playing with the ring that he was wearing; Michael's arm was draped over her shoulder and onto her stomach while his other arm was behind his head. They were talking about their future together then Michael gently pushed Rose until she was sat up then he stood up and went over to a cabinet and pulled out a small box, he carried it over to her and knelt down on the floor in front of her.

She opened the box and saw a diamond engagement ring staring back at her, she gasped and looked at Michael then he smiled and whispered 'will you marry me Rose?' she was shocked so she couldn’t answer straight away. Just as she was about to answer Michael's question a maid opened the front door and in stormed George and Lord Jefferson, they entered the living room where Michael and Rose were sat on the sofa in a passionate embrace and kiss since Rose had answered the question with a simple 'yes' George grabbed the back of Michael's collar and pulled him roughly away from Rose. 'Not you again!' both Rose and Michael said at the same time, Lord Jefferson grabbed Rose so that she couldn't run to Michael's side 'I warned you when we met that nobody steals my property' George hissed in Michael's face. George then spat in Michael's eye and pinned him up against the wall.

Michael struggled for breath since George had his hand tightly gripping his neck! George raised his fist high above his own head, the look in Michael's eyes turned from agony to fear as George slammed his fist down until it collided with Michael's head. Rose screamed at the top of her lungs but George kneed Michael in the stomach so he fell to the ground, Rose cried as George tortured Michael. All the time this was going off she was trying to escape from the tight grasp of her grandfather, just then George lifted up a knife and clutched it in his hand. Rose screamed 'stop! Please don't kill him! Do what you want with me just don't hurt him!' George looked at her pleading face. He dropped the knife and walked over to her and grabbed her hair then asked 'anything?' 'Yes anything' Rose cried.

'Give me a son and I won't hurt Negro boy here' George grinned, Rose looked at the floor but all she could hear was Michael saying 'no Rose you can't' but Rose just nodded her head. George took hold of her hand then led her into the next room which was the study, the door was closed and all that could be heard were groans of both pleasure and pain. Pain which Rose felt and the pleasure that George felt. Michael and Lord Jefferson were still sat in the living room, but Michael felt more pain than he had done when he was being hit for he had to listen to his new fiancée making love to another man. After a short amount of time the groaning stopped then George and Rose emerged from the room, Rose ran to Michael and hugged him tightly and cried on his shoulder.

'Now Rose remember if you haven't conceived, have a miscarriage or it's a girl I will be back and I swear I will hurt you two more than I have today' George warned angrily. Lord Jefferson and George walked out of the room and drove off to the hotel they were going to be staying in for the next few months while they waited for Rose to have a baby. Luckily for Rose she did manage to conceive and it was a boy but very early in the pregnancy she lost the baby due to a miscarriage caused by stress, 'Michael you need to get me pregnant I don't want us getting hurt by George' Rose said to Michael when she found out she had miscarried the baby. He agreed and luckily it worked and miraculously it was another boy, nine months later Rose gave birth to the baby but George took him from her before necessary since he wanted to get back to England as soon as possible.

George never found out that he wasn't the biological father of the baby since Rose and Michael kept it quiet, but it was the last time Michael and Rose ever heard of George and Lord Jefferson since Rose got a restraining order against the both of them and Rose had got a divorce from George so she was free to marry Michael. Michael's and Rose's life soon returned to normal and very soon they were in a church getting married, although the ceremony had to be cut short since Rose was heavily pregnant with Michael's child. Her waters broke during the ceremony so she had to be rushed into the hospital so that she could give birth to a healthy beautiful baby girl who they later named Sharice Latoya Jackson luckily though Michael and Rose had managed to say their vows and kiss before Rose's waters broke so they were married but they hadn't had chance to sign the papers. Michael, Rose and Sharice all lived happily, they never heard anything from George or Lord Jefferson and there were no further complications with their lives.
