♥Chapter 26♥

*Michael's Point Of View *

I wake up the next morning to my phone ringing. I groan and turned on my back reaching over Marilyn to reach the nightstand. I finally grab it before it the ringer became too loud. Marilyn groans softly and shifts a little. I sigh and answered the phone.

*hello?

"Hey honeybunch! never hear from y'all anymore  "

Oh hey mother, That's not true the kid's saw you last month

"The kid's, Michael I miss you, how's Marilyn? "

She's ok, we have a lot going on that's all

"Like what? "

Her friend was near death, She's pregnant- You know stuff

"Wait wait, who's pregnant? "

-whispers - Marilyn...

"Michael honey I can't hear you "

Mom Marilyn is...

*silence *

Mom?

"Yes, I mean I'm proud of you guys well happy for you! How many months? "

"Honey you don't sound so excited "

I am it's just...

"Just what honey tell me "

I... I'm worried about Marilyn, the doctor said it wouldn't be to good... the pregnancy because of what happened with Dylan remember?

"Yeah that was something difficult poor Marilyn, how is she holding up? "

She's ok, And so are the kid's we're telling them today

"oh great! let me know how that goes "

Ha-ha I will

"Well honey I have to go, those petunias won't plant themselves "

Ok mom I love you!

"I love you too pumpkin "

Bye

"Bye"

I slid my phone back on the nightstand. I look down at Marilyn who is peacefully sleeping.  Sometimes I wonder what she dreams about.  Sometimes I wonder how we managed to stay together this long. Maybe I need to stop wondering. I look at her steadily growing belly. I forget how beautiful she looks when she's pregnant the whole natural glow it gives her. She hates it because of the weight she gains but in my mind it's more beautiful curves! and another miracle. Sadly this miracle isn't mine though.  But I promise Marilyn and myself I would love my new son or daughter the same. I slowly climb out and walked into the bathroom to freshen up a bit. since Marilyn hates my morning breath I try to get up before she does so I can brush my teeth and so she won't complain. After I'm done I walk back in and see Marilyn stretching.  Morning babygirl and baby, I said leaning to kiss her.  She kisses me back caressing my face.  "Morning papa, mmm minty ", She said pulling back licking her lips. I chuckle.  Just for you babygirl, "Oh hush", Yes ma'am miss I can't stand my husband of sixteen year's morning breath, "Aww with all that salt you could give it to the ocean ", Ha-ha you've got jokes huh? , I said crawling beside her. she turns on her side.  "mmhmm ", I slowly lean closer to her face.  You know I never got your corny jokes, she softly hits me.  "Oh whatever you know I'm funny ", I chuckle leaning up. You sure are oh and my mother called, "really? What did she say?", Oh nothing much I told her about our news, "Oh what did she say to that? ", She was ok with it and said she's happy for us, Marilyn sits up rubbing her belly. "Are you? "  I look at her.  "Happy?", I stare at her belly then looked back at her.  Yes I am, She looked unconvinced.  "Are you sure? ", I smile and placed my hand gently on her stomach. Yes I'm sure I'm happy I'm elated! babygirl believe that, She smiles. "Good ", Can I listen to it? , "The baby?", I nod.  "There's not much to listen to I'm only three months ", I know I just want to listen to my miracle, "ok, go ahead"  I scoot down till my ear is on her stomach. I close my eye's and listen to the sounds of her moving vitals. It's beautiful it really is. I feel bad I doubted this but I'm glad that I have yet another fresh start at fatherhood. Marilyn plays with my hair as I continue rubbing her belly. "Michael Yuli and I talked on the phone a couple days ago", I look up.  Really about what?, "Well being a mother. She really wants a family but can't find the right man you know stuff like that ", Yeah that's messed up, "I know right so I had an idea come to me lastnight ", I completely sit up. her ideas never come out right half the time. And...., "I was thinking I can be like a seregeant mother for her", Wha-How?  "Well I'm already pregnant and she really wants a child.... " No no babygirl sorry I love Yuli as much as you do but no!,  "Michael she's our friend and really wants a baby! ", I understand that but I don't like the idea of giving away my baby our baby!,  Michael it's not even your baby why the freak should it matter?! " Oh so now it's not my child?  So just because that's not from my sperm it's not my child?!, "Michael I'm not saying th- ", No I totally get it! Do what you want it's your body and your baby, I said walking out....
