♥Uneasy(HIStory Era)♥

You sighed as you lay back in the big bed that Michael and you share - well used to share at least. Ever since he'd left for his History tour, you've been on your own and him not being around seems almost natural. You sigh and stare at your beautiful diamond ring, sometimes when you miss Michael, you stare at your ring remembering the love you pledged to each other eight years ago.

You sigh in frustration as you stand up and try to figure out a way to pass time; it's only morning and Michael won't be back for the next seven months - you're screwed if you continue like this.

"Mom?" your seven year old daughter, Heaven, startles you as you turn to see your beautiful daughter standing at the doorway to your bedroom. You can never stop marveling at Heaven's beauty - she's her father all over except for her eyes...they happen to be yours.

"Yes baby?" you ask softly as you walk over to her.

"Would you be able to braid my hair for me?" she asks politely, "I feel like braids today," she smiles shyly. She looks just like Michael when she does that.

"Of course baby, let's go to your room," you offer and the two of you make your way to Heaven's pastel colored room. Heaven hands you a pink hairbrush and a pair of hair ties as you both sit in front of her full length mirror.

Silence begins to weigh down on the both of you as time goes by.

"Mom?" Heaven speaks all of a sudden.

"Yes baby?" you coo.

"I- I miss dad," she begins to cry a little. 

"Oh baby....I miss him too," you say softly as you hug her tight. Heaven goes through so much when Michael leaves. She always stops eating and she gets sick very often while he's gone.

"Why does he always leave?" she asks sadly, "doesn't he love us?"

Your heart broke at those words.

"Oh honey of course he does!" you try to sound cheerful, "he's just on a very important mission to save the world - which he does through his music," you say softly.

"Really?" she looks at you with wide eyes.

"Yes baby, he just wants to help people," you smile as you remember the countless arguments you and Michael have had over his goodness.

"So he's a hero?" she asks shyly.

You smile and nod, "Yes he is darling,"

This seems to put Heaven at ease but you are still very upset. You desperately want to see Michael but you haven't been able to contact him recently. You assume the shows have been crazy lately.

"Mom, can I go play with Destiny outside?" Heaven asks referring to her puppy.

"Of course you can darling, just make sure to have Carol around at all times okay?" you say gently as you kiss Heaven's forehead lightly and watch her run out.

You walk out of her room and close the door then proceed to make your way back to you and Michael's room. You walk in and sit on the bed and begin to cry. It's been so long since you last saw or spoke with Michael and it kills you inside not knowing how he is or how far away he may be from you and Heaven.  You close your eyes and sigh. Whenever you close your eyes, it helps you think better. As you contemplate with shut eyes, you notice a whiff of perfume that you instantly recognize. As soon as you notice the smell, your heart races...you know exactly whom it belongs to and you don't want the moment to end.

Maybe closing my eyes really does help. You think to yourself.

You keep your eyes closed and notice that the smell gets stronger and stronger. It gets so strong that your heart is basically jumping in your chest and your whole being simply hurts because you feel so close to the memory yet so far. You want to keep your eyes closed but you know that if you do any longer, you'll lose your mind due to misery. You open your eyes and are met with another pair of wide brown eyes.

You study the features in front of you. It all seems so unreal. It's his face. It's his lips. It's his hair but it can't be. It just can't. He's away on tour.

Michael can't be here.

"Hey Princess," he whispers against your face. You're sitting on the bed and he's on his knees with both of his hands on either side of you on the bed.

"Michael?" your voice comes out weak.

"Did you miss me?" he asks lowly as he studies your face.

"It's not real," you mutter as you pinch yourself hard.

Michael's big hands pull your hands toward his chest and he kisses you lightly.

"It's me," he smiles widely, "I took a short break," he explained. "Carol gave me a call and told me that you weren't eating," he frowned, "Princess, I thought I asked you to take care of yourself," he groans.

You throw yourself onto Michael and hug him tightly. His hands grip you just as hard and you both relish this moment that you have together.

"I missed you so much," he whispers.

"Me too," you sob, "but when do you go back," you ask as you pull away to look at him.

"Let's not talk about that now," he shakes his head, "where's Heaven?" he inquires gently as his hands stoke your face.

"She's downstairs," you smile, "playing with Destiny,"

You hear Michael chuckle.

"She'll be so happy to see you," you say

"You think?" he asks concerned, "she probably hates me for leaving all the time,"

"No, I just spoke to her. I told her that you were a hero. I think she's beginning to understand," you smile as you look down.

"Princess," he whispers as he tilts your chin up to look at him, "I love you so much. I'm so sorry," he says as he kisses you again.

"Don't be," you smile softly, "just spend some time with Heaven and we'll be alright," you say as he pulls you in and you rest your head on his chest to hear his heartbeat.

It is at that moment that you realize... both of your heartbeats match.
