Family Ties

Bound

Robertas POV

Director: So i like where this is going i just need a bit more chemistry between Vanessa and Timothy ,ok ?

Me:ok sure ,no problem

As you can probably tell I'm in the middle of shooting the movie bound. This is movie #3 for me . This is day 12 and so far so good . They want to shoot the movie kinda like how George Lucas filmed star wars from the middle on up i guess . Which means that we are doing the intimate scenes first then we're . We've been doing this for a few weeks now . When doing these types of scenes i have to keep mike in mind first . I remember when I got the script I made Mike read it with me . He understood that this is just acting and this is what I do . I also told him that when a day of acting is home I'm always gonna come home and jump into the told of being a wife and a mother . Mike is three weeks away from leaving for tour . So while we are busy with rehearsing and filming our little princess is keeping mother company. In other amazing news we are just three weeks away from celebrating Madelyn's 2nd birthday. Mike leaves on her birthday so we have to make that extremely special. Recently I have been feeling a bit different. I don't feel nauseated or anything like that but I don't feel  100 percent but more like 88 percent but I haven't been letting that get to me. I've been soo busy working and being a mom which is most definitely  full time job. As for my dad goes well he is now fully hospitalized. I call him everyday just as if he was home . When I get the chance I visit him . As usual when I do go up there to see him he always puts up a fuss about how he doesn't want my brother and I to see him like this but he knows I will never leave him. No matter how many times he tells me no I will always be there because I'm a true daddy's girl at heart . Now let me get back to my passion hahaha 

Michaels POV

When I was little I use to always think about time ... how it travels is what use to intrigue me . Now as an adult and a father I now lost my interest in time because it always seem to fly right pass me . Right now I am on my way home from another rehearsing session . We've been practicing for this tour for months now and in three weeks I'll be at home with my fans who I miss terribly but I will miss the most is my princess and my birthday celebration . She'll have her party I will make sure of it but I leave in the early morning hours the day of my birthday . But the up most good news is that they will be there the next day . I'm happy because Lyn will get a chance to see what I do but a bit concerned .... Roberta has her mind set on her coming with me on this journey but deep down I know she doesn't want to leave her dad . She has broke down and explained to me how much her dad means to her . He walked her down the aisle almost three years ago . I want to be there with her if anything happens her because I am not wishing anything bad but I know her dad is going to go home soon to be with the Lord and I know that's going to hurt her completely. When she lost her grandma last year she was shattered this will break her and I don't know if it's her schedule that has her down lately but I don't see the 100 percent in her .... she isn't herself and sometimes I think that her mind is very clouded with soo many thoughts and working so darn hard with her latest movie Bound that got her not being herself she thinks she is doing a good job hiding it but make no mistake she does excellent with the house and our daughter and being my wife she makes sure that both roles are covered without nobody asking her . But I think she needs time to herself even close friends like maleigha and the girls are noticing that she is different . I don't bring it up because she will insist that she is ok but I've known her since she was 23 years old . I know her like the back of my hand .... I really hope she comes back .... I don't just need her but Madelyn needs her as well ... anyways I'm home and I'm sitting outside with Lyn who is running playing with Roberta twin puppies monti and mia who are the same size and the like Lyn and Lyn  loves them back . We are waiting for her mom so we can go out . I want to take her mind off of things and I know how hard it is right now but I can always least try as her husband I can try and that's what I'm going to do . 

Roberta POV

As I walk inside my home I can't help but to feel overwhelmed . I'm am beyond exhausted , weary and anything else you can define the word tired . Oh I forgot chilli had her beautiful baby boy a few months back . She named him Tron and man he is definitely his mother son haha. That's also what's been wracking my brain lately . I want another child . The funny thing is when I first started having this feeling it was like Mike knew it . Man was he happy , the man almost cried of joy ... my husband. We have been trying to try to make that happened . My doctor was like "girl about time " haha . She has been a big help and I'm always optimistic about things like this and I really hope I  blessed enough to give Lyn a little sibling . The past few months I can feel like Mike has been reading me ... I know I haven't been me lately and I swear it to you I am trying . It's like some days he wants to push me to spit what's wrong but everybody knows what's wrong . It's like I walk around with something wrong on my forehead . I'm honestly exhausted no matter how much sleep I get I am still tired . I'm emotionally drained my dad is my world and I know he do t have long until he has to go and I am not at all prepared for it . The girls have started working on their fourth in studio album . I have to prepare for that . Usually I would be soon happy for that but my body is done . With my schedule , being a mother and wife I'm full all over.  Now don't get me wrong I am not complaining because I love it all but I am tired . As I was daydreaming well sitting down I was interrupted with my mini me running towards me . I got up and picked her up because no matter how tired I am I will never be tired for her .  

Me: hey baby girl 

Lyn: hey 

As she talk in some words and baby talk I seem wonderful husband come towards me . I hug him and kiss him . Gosh I really would be stuck without family . 

Mike: hey honey

Me: hi babe 

Mike: how was work ?

Me: it was ok . How about you. Bout ready for them 

Mike: yeah I am . Hey, I want to take you somewhere . I know you are about done ... I get it . Honestly I can't sit and let you sulk in your problems . You can't tell me that you are not having problems . You're different honey and honestly I am concerned . Of course you are carrying on like nothings wrong but babe I think you are overwriting yourself . So tonight I don't want to think about work or anything I would like to take my wife and daughter out to eat and have a good time .... can i do that ? 

Roberta: *looks at me with tears in her eyes* you know me too well . I'm going through a lot and I don't want to complain and I would love to go anywhere with my two favorite people . 

Me: thank you .

Two hours and a lot of preparation later we are waiting for the woman of the hour . I am dressed in black and gold military jacket with the gold band on my arm with black slacks and my black boots . Karen as always did a wonderful job on my hair that it curly . My beautiful flower that I am holding is dressed in a black and gold dress with black stockings and black dress shoes with a gold headband around her head ... see even when she isn't feeling her best she makes sure our baby is most definitely looking her best . I'm sitting down talking and holding Lyn when I hear her heels clicked against the floor . I looked up and thank god that he blessed me with such an amazingly beautiful lady that i get to call my wife . She is dressed in a beautiful black long dress. It's long sleeve and has a v-neck cut in the back . She has on gold heels and her hair is done with a classic sophisticated updo with a few strands  the front of her face . Her makeup is nicely done and her jewelry is gold that includes the beautiful gold ring that lays on her left ring finger. I am completely in awe ....

Me: you look absolutely stunning my dear .

Roberta: thank you honey . 

We made our way to this Italian restaurant and took our seats in a comfortable booth . With a high chair of course haha. We are until our hearts were content and danced a bit . After all was said and done I was glad that she agreed to let me do something with her that we haven't done in years . Even our daughter enjoyed herself and was the first to fall asleep on our way home . We are now in bed with my sunshine in her crib sleeping peacefully and my queen sleeping on my chest . Maybe she needs to do this more often . Just sleep but we all know she can't do that .... she's a strong woman . Thinking about her I grew tired and close my eyes and joined my wife and daughter in some much needed sleep ....
