*Marilyn's Point Of View *

After the escapade and dinner, I called Michael. I've never seen him so defeated. Part of me feels he deserves it. Yet the another part feels for him. Seeing him cry, was like seeing a puppy being ran over by a car. It was sad and depressing.  I didn't talk to him for long because I needed to have a talk with Channing. He was out of line for getting physical. I hang up the house phone and walk into the living room. Brandon already retired to his room for the night. So it's just me and Channing. I sit in the recliner that is next to the love seat Channing is sitting on. I stare at him for awhile.  I know he feels me staring.  He sighs deeply. "I'm sorry... ", He breathed. I shake my head. "That was uncalled for, Channing I understand you were defending me and yourself but that's no excuse to get physical ", He rubs his face. "He was pushing my button's and you know it!", I sigh. "Please don't get loud", He cocks his head back. "Why are you defending him? Do you feel sorry for him? He freaking cheated on you! He is probably still messing with that girl! Marilyn I know you still love him, but I need you to give me a chance, I know I'll never get that connection you had with Michael, but I want to try. Baby I-I want to fall in love with you.", He said walking to me. He squats down. "I want to be everything you want,  I want to take care of you", I sigh. "But will you respect me?", He smiles and nods. "Yes I will. I will respect your mind and soul", I smile. "But what about my body, will you respect my body? ", He chuckles and licks his lips. "I'll do whatever you want me to do to your body", I couldn't help but shiver in delight when he said that. "Okay, I'll let this slide,  but I would love for you to apologize to Brandon and Michael", He slowly nods. "Okay deal", "And... I want you to try to get to know Michael and Jasmine and Dylan", His nods become slower with each command. "Hmm... done, done,  and maybe", "Play nice Channing...", He chuckles. "Alright I'll play nice but please telling him to keep his lame Jersey Shore insults to himself", I laugh and nod. "Deal...", He shakes his head. "I do still have a question Marilyn ", I nod for him to continue. "Do you still have feelings for Michael, like intimate feelings?", I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "I know you haven't been with any other man then him so...", I sigh. I honestly don't know. How would I know if I'm still attracted to Michael like that."Honestly...I don't know", He nods and stands up. "Well that will be a bit of a challenge", "And why is that?", "Well... I want to be able to fulfill your needs and not be reminded that Michael did better, trust me I've been in an intimate relationship where the ex's name was called", I shake my head and laugh. "Well I don't know, it's been awhile ", Channing stands me up. "Well we the moment comes be ready OK?", He said holding my waist. "What is that suppose to mean?", He pulls me closer then kisses my neck. "Just be ready...", He breathed on my neck. He slowly let's go and back's away. "Hmm...", I said slowly letting go of his hand. He winks at me and turns to walk away. I stand there a moment. I actually don't want to be alone tonight. Not after what happened. I sigh and jog after Channing. "Channing?", I said stopping him at the door. He slowly turns around. "Yeah?", I look down and step closer. "Can you stay the night?", He steps closer this time stopping to kiss me. He pulls back. "Yes I will",...

*Michael's Point Of View*

The bastard broke my nose! At least I think he did. This morning I woke up to the worst throbbing ever. My nose feels like someone took a hammer and tried to bash it in. I was glad that when I returned home, the kids were sleep. One good thing did happen, Marilyn called. Of course to apologize but then it turned into talking about Jasmine. I hate to do this but I think I have to send her to Marilyn for awhile. It hurts that she has seemingly turned on me. I know she hates the broken family image we have going on. I hate it too but I still have to get myself together. I felt so bad yesterday that before I went home I stopped by Evelyn's to apologize. If she is pregnant, I know I have to man up and take responsibility for this child. I'm hoping and praying this child isn't mine. I know if it is than the void between Marilyn and i; will become a black hole. Therefore today after The dropping the kid's off I'm heading to this doctor's office to take a pregnancy exam. Well I'm going with Evelyn. Maybe the doctor can tell if it's mine. I just pulled into the parking lot. I take in deep breaths before climbing out and walking inside. I instantly see Evelyn sitting in the waiting room a bit impatiently. When she spots me, she smiles happily. "God Michael you're late! I had to tell the doctor that my husband was in a traffic jam!", I sigh. I sit beside her. "I've told you I'm not your husband stop telling people that", I whispered into her ear. she huffs. "Michael you're not famous no one will know", "There's nothing to know! Just stop calling me these pet name's, I'm here for the baby", She frowns and shifts in her seat. I sigh. After fifteen minutes of waiting the doctor finally arrives. "Uhh...Ms. Rudolph?", Evelyn looks up and smiles. I stand of too. The doctor looks at us confused.  "I'm just a friend", I said looking at Evelyn. The doctor nods. She gestures for us to walk ahead of her. Evelyn grabs me gently. "Michael last time I checked friends don't fu-", I cover her mouth. "You're right we're not friends... like I said I'm here for this baby", I whispered retrieving my hand. She glares at me and speed walks to the OBGYN office. It took thirty minutes for the whole process to began. We have been waiting an hour for the results. Finally the doctor walks back in. "Well Ms.Rudolph, seems like you are pregnant...", I just died on the inside. I can't take this. "Is it mine?", I finally blurted out. Evelyn glares at me. I ignore her and looks at the doctor. "Mr.uhh-", "Jackson... it's Jackson ", She smiles. "Well Mr. Jackson I don't know if I can tell you that yet..", I sigh. "But... I can run a quick test if that could help?", I nod. 'Anything... ", She looks at Evelyn and then nods at me. "Ok well I'll be right back with my supplies", I smile. she turns and walks out. I hope this crap works....
