Love Can't Die |M.C.|

Chapter 19

*Michael*

I looked over at Saphire and saw her sitting on the floor by my feet with a coloring book. I reached down and ran my fingers through her hair. She was so perfect. How could a little girl be so perfect?

"Um... Michael? Can you come in here for a moment?" Emmie yelled from the kitchen. It was just me, her, and Saph in the house right now. I got up, picking up Saph and going into the kitchen to see a burnt chicken.

"I can see you still can't cook." I say smirking. She glared at me before hitting me with her towel and tossed it on the counter.

"I can cook. I just tried to cook something I can't cook." She said sighing, and staring at the burnt food.

"It's ok. We can just go out and get something." I said softly, wrapping my arms around her softly.

"But I don't have enough money." She said looking up at me.

"I'll buy." I said without hesitating. She turned around so she was facing me and Saph and rested her head on my chest, looking at Saph. Saphire did the same thing causing me and Emmie to smile. "Let's go get you girls some food." I said softly, leading them outside.

"Macca's!" Saph yelled jumping up and down in my arms.

I smiled and held her on my hip with one arm and took Emmie's hand and said "Is Macca's ok mummy?"

"Yes daddy." Emmie said, squeezing my hand slightly. I smiled and kissed her lips before walking towards Macca's. I kept my eyes out for paparazzi, but so far didn't see any. I looked over at Emmie, smiling. She was wearing dark red lipstick, had on eyeliner, her hair in a neat bun, a misfits tank-top, and ripped skinny jeans, and black converse. She was so beautiful.

I looked at Saph and saw she was dressed almost the same as me and her mom. She had on little jeans, little black converse, and a black shirt. Her hair was in pigtails and she was just so cute.

We walked into Macca's and I gently gave Saph to Emmie and I went to the counter and ordered the food before going out to the kids section where Emmie had taken Saph to play with her. I set the food on the table and smiled, watching Emmie slide down the slide with Saph tightly in her arms. She was such a good mom.

I sat down and looked down at my phone when it buzzed. One of the boys had sent me a link to a website and I tapped on it. It showed some pictures of me, Emmie, and Saphire coming here. They get it out fast don't they? The captions read "IS ROCK STAR MICHAEL CLIFFORD TAKING ON THE CHALLENGE OF BEING A DAD?" or "DID MICHAEL CLIFFORD HAVE A SECRET LOVE CHILD WITH ONE OF HIS HOOKUPS?" I just rolled my eyes and decided to tweet something. I didn't want to reveal that I had a daughter yet, but I did want to clear some of the stupid articles.

"I just went to Macca's with one of my friends and her daughter." I tweeted. I didn't actually lie. I did go out and eat with one of my friends and her daughter. I just didn't say Saph was my daughter as well. Emmie and Saph came over and sat down, and we started eating.

We were all curled up on the couch when I got a message from management. I sighed and kissed Emmie's lips softly and Saphire's head before telling them I had to go to see management. They had an office in Sydney so I just went there instead of going to London.

I walked in and looked around the bright room with a desk and a couple of big chairs. I sat down in a chair, looking at the manager, waiting for him to tell me what he wanted.

"Michael we have an issue." Steve said, his hands folded on the table.

"Oh really? I thought you wanted to have a cup of tea." I said sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes and said "It's about your love child and baby momma. You have to leave them immediately. We don't want bad publicity." My jaw dropped to the floor, before closing again. I clenched my teeth glaring at him.

"I am not leaving my family. My daughter and girlfriend need me." I growled. I knew it wasn't official if me and Emmie were back together but at that point, I didn't care. I wasn't leaving her again.

"I'm sorry but they will have to be apart of your past. We don't want little brats running around ruining everything." Steve said leaning back in his chair.

"Saphire is not a brat. She is a very smart girl." I growled.

"I'll make you a deal. If you leave them and don't say another word about them or even talk to them, I'll pay you $500,000 a month." Steve said leaning forward.

"No. I want my daughter and girlfriend and I am not leaving them again." I said without hesitating or thinking about the deal. Emmie and Saph come first.

"Are you sure? You'll regret it." He said smirking.

"I'm sure. Now don't come near my family or I won't be afraid to beat your ass if you do." I growled, getting up and storming out. I climbed into my car and banged my head on my steering wheel. I don't know what's going on, but I just know I need to get home to Emmie and Saphire. And fast.

A/N: Shorter than the others but oh well.
