Love Lives Forever (Michael Jackson Adopted Me)

Chapter Five: Life Isn't Easy But Love Will Always Prevail

Birdys Pov

I hid in Lily's arms as Michael finished shouting at the lady who was waiting here. "M-Michael" I stuttered. He looked at us and frowned. "Oh my god... I'm so sorry girls. You shouldn't have seen that" he apologised quickly. I started crying and hugged Lily even tighter.

She gently pushed me away and ran down the hall. Michael crouched down and rubbed my shoulder reassuringly. I pulled him into a hug as I kept crying. He hesitated and wrapped his arms around me, cooing words to make me feel better.

"It's okay Birdy." I cried harder and shook my head. "Please don't call me that. I don't like it!" He patted my back and rubbed it. "Alright. What do you want me to call you?" He asked. "I don't know, you can pick" I said, sniffling. He nodded and stood up.

Michaels Pov

I didn't expect any of this to happen but when Birdy opened up to me it became reality. I had two more children to look after, raise and give a parents love to. I didn't mind it and I was adjusting fast but there was still a part of me that couldn't believe this happened.

I walked into one of the bedrooms looking for Lily and found her sitting in the corner by a window. I gasped realising this wasn't just any random room but Paris' bedroom. She was on the floor reading a book. "Lily?" She looked up and smiled weakly. "Birdy." She said barely above a whisper. She shook her head repeatedly and smiled up at me.

"No, my name is Royal" she announced proudly. Lily looked taken back but said nothing. She stood up and walked over to us, holding out a hand. "I'm sorry I lost my temper but I'm not used to this. Can we start over?" She asked. I shook her hand and nodded. "Sure if that's what you want."

"I hope you don't mind sharing a bedroom" I said to Lily gesturing to Paris' room. She shook her head no and observed it. "No I don't. Besides the room is massive" she said. I chuckled at her astonishment and shrugged. "It is. Isn't it?"

After showing Royal to her new room, that she was sharing with Prince. Both the girls were settled in and I could think about the next thing I should do.

The doorbell rang and Paris ran into the living room to answer it. "Grandma!" She shouted. She pulled Mother into the kitchen and showed her a drawing she had made. "Oh that's wonderful dear" She stated proudly. They hugged and Paris smiled brightly.

"Dinner time!" The cook announced. Paris brushed it off and continued working on her drawing but Prince ran into the kitchen and sat at the island. "Don't you guys want to eat in the dining room?" I asked. They both shook their heads and went back to what they were doing.

I noticed that Lily and Royal weren't in the kitchen and walked upstairs to Royals bedroom. She dropped the toy she was playing with and ran into my arms. She hugged me and jumped up giving me no choice but to catch her midair. She sat on my hip and I exited to the hallway and walked to Lily's room. She was lying on the bed with earphones in and quietly singing.

"But you say we don't mess around
You've got no freedom to come down
We don't take angels from the sky
Oh no
But we don't mess around
You're meant to be among the clouds
Cause you're an angel
But that's a lie
Oh oh oh"

I put Royal on the ground and whispered for her to go eat dinner with the others. She quickly walked off and I walked towards Lily, sitting at the edge of her bed. "You have a beautiful voice" I commented. She sat up and looked at me strangely. "Oh thanks Michael... I didn't know you were listening" she replied shyly. "I didn't hear much but a song can really describe how your feeling" I said, hinting at the sad lyrics she sang.

She looked down at her iPod and sniffed. "Y-Yeah... I just miss my parents so much and I really appreciate what you're doing for us b-but I don't know what to do!" She cried. "I'm sorry Lily I didn't mean to upset you" I apologised. She shuffled back and wiped her tears away. "No it's fine I got carried away. Thank you for being the Dad I never really had" she said quietly. I smiled and wiped away a tear of my own.

"Of course, I just want to help you and Royal.".........
