You're Back

What's Real, and What's Not?

       "Babe? Hello? Baby...?" Michael asked softly, and became more alert as Hailey was not responding to him.
        "Huh!? What?!" Hailey asked out, and looked around noticing she was in her own kitchen. She looked to her left and saw Skylar in her high chair waiting for her oatmeal.
        "Are you okay?" Michael asked nervously, and walked over to her. "You asked me a question, and blanked out for a good 20 minutes..." he said, scanning her eyes nervously.
         "We need t-to talk..." Hailey said, letting out a deep sigh. "I-I-yeah we need t-to talk..." she repeated again, and Michael gulped.
          He knew Hailey was off lately. Not being able to sleep, and being awkward every time they were together. Ever since Jay, Hailey, Sky and him were together that one day, everything became awkward.
        "MOMMY IM HUNGWY!" Skylar yelled out, for the 10th time now.
        "Oh... s-sorry Sky!" Hailey said, starting to feed her child.
         "I'll feed her baby, okay?" Michael said, making Skylar squeal since she was happy to have her dad home to feed her for once.
        "Okay, I-I'm uh gonna shower?" She told him, but said it more as a question. She then shook her head no. "Actually no, I'll wait" she said winking at her husband, who smirked back at his wife.
        Michael feed his baby girl, but couldn't ponder the thought that something was terribly wrong with Hailey. She's never spaced out like that before, especially for that long.
"DADDY!!!" Skylar yelled out, breaking Michael from his thoughts. Michael humed, making the little girl look at him. "Mommy okay?" She asked, and the black haired boy just sighed.
"Dunno baby" he said, as he continued to feed Skylar. He kept wondering if Hailey was okay or not.
After Michael cleaned up Sky and wiped off her tray, he went to Hailey who was looking for something to wear.
"Babe?" Michael asked out, as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "What's going on beautiful?" He asked as he placed a lovingly kiss onto her cheek.
"Jay..." she started, making Michael's arms tighten up. The thought of him and her was his worst fear.
"W-w-what a-about Jay?" He stuttered out, and Hailey looked at him.
"I-I-I can't hold it in anymore..." she said, and looked into Michael's worried, brown eyes. "It'll hurt you w-when I say th-this but...." she said, her eyes tearing up.
"Hey, hey, hey... it's okay, just tell me" Michael said softly to his wife.
"I-I have to b-be honest with you... the night he was o-o-over and w-we were in our room, he kissed me... a-and I kissed back" Hailey admitted, and Michael took in a sharp breath. "Th-that's what's been k-k-keeping me up all night..." she said, and the boy nodded.
"I-I-I" Michael started, and looked away from his wife for a brief second. "I for-forgive you.. I do babe. Thanks for being honest" he said, and Hailey cupped his cheek.
"An-and when I spaced out... I don't know what reality is anymore?!" Hailey asked out scared, and Michael looked at her concerned.
"What do you mean?!??" He asked quickly, his eyebrows furrowing together. His eyes scanned Hailey's trying to read them but he couldn't.
"Did Jay and I ever make out at his house? Did you decide to divorce me? Did I pass out outside and end up at the hospital and Jay took me and you yelled at me??" Hailey rushed out her throughts, needing them to be corrected in reality.
Michael's eyes widen, he was so shocked by those thoughts.
"None of that has happened, ever! Is that what you spaced out about?" He asked, and Hailey nodded quickly.
"Y-yES!" Hailey said nervously. "I caN'T LOSE YOU I REALLY CAN'T!" Hailey yelled, grabbing onto her husband's shoulders.
"You're not going to, hun. I'm not divorcing you, I wouldn't even think too... now how about you and I take a nice relaxing shower, huh?" Michael asked, rubbing his hands up and down Hailey's side.
"Y-y-yeah... w-what about Sky? Whose gonna watch Sky?!?" Hailey asked out, and Michael cupped her cheeks.
"Stop stressing! It's Saturday, my mom takes her on Saturday's, and your mom on Sunday's!" Michael said kissing the girl lovingly. Hailey relaxed into the kiss.
"R-rIGHT!" Hailey said, and walked out of their room, which Michael soon followed.
          The door bell rang indicating that Dena was here to pick up Sky. Michael kissed Hailey's head, and walked to the front door and let his mother in. They shared their hellos, and Hailey smiled and welcomed her in as well.
         "Hey Sky!" Dena said with a smile, and Skylar squealed. She packed up a bag for Sky, and took her little hand in hers. "Have fun you two" she said with a wink, and walked out the door.
       Michael turned and faced the brown haired girl with a smirk on his face. Hailey blushed and looked down.
        "Shower, and then to the bedroom?" He asked, walking up to his wife.
        "Mhm! Sound great!" Hailey said smiling, and ran towards the bathroom with Michael soon following.
          The two undressed, and got into the warm shower. Hailey felt arms snake around her waist,  pulling her into his chest.
         "I love you" Michael whispered into her ear, making Hailey's cheeks heat up. Even though they've been married for quite sometime, he still made her blush.
        "And I love you" Hailey said, as she rubbed her hands up and down Michael's arms making him shiver. "You're cold?" She asked, and the boy shook his head.
          "No, I'm not cold. Just feels good when you do that" Michael said, making Hailey repeat the action. He started the pepper kisses on her cheeks, down her neck and to her shoulders.
        Hailey smiled loving the feeling that was rushing through her body. She went under the shower head and wet her hair and reached for the shampoo.
        "Nooooo I'll wash it!" Michael insisted, and started to wash her hair. The two washed up in the shower, and Michael leaned over Hailey to turn off the shower.
         His body pressed against hers, and Hailey stared into his blue contacts. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and couldn't help but smile.
         "Ready for some love?" Michael asked, leaning towards her face. The girl nodded and puckered up. Their lips met, and their kiss soon turned into a make out.
        After sometime, Michael pulled away breathing heavily. Hailey kissed him quickly, and opened the shower curtain.
        "Let's dry off, and then head to bed?" She asked, smirking at her words.
         "Defiantly!" Michael smirked at his wife, and watched her step out of the shower. He admired every feature on her body. He wondered how he got so lucky to marry the fan of his dreams. He then stepped out and dried himself off. 
         Hailey was next to admire her other half. She stared at Michael and smiled brightly, loving every feature on him. How the hell did she get lucky enough to marry the Michael Conor? She defiantly felt a lot better telling him the truth.
         "I'm so lucky" they both spoke out at the same time, making each other blush. Michael chuckled, and picked up his wife bridal style making her giggle hard.
          He carried her towards their room, and kicked the door open. He laid her on the bed, and smiled brightly.
          "God do I love you!" Michael said, leaning towards her.
         "I love you too!" She said, just before their lips touched.
          During that night they spent together, Hailey was grateful she told Michael what happened between Jay and her. If not, maybe those 20 minute long thoughts would've happened, and her life would've been a mess.
           About an hour later, the two laid side by side. Hailey let out a breath, and looked at her husband whose arms she was wrapped up in.
       "I'm so glad I told you. I feel better now" Hailey said, and Michael smirked.
        "You better feel good" Michael chuckled, and Hailey slapped his arm playfully.
         "CONOR!" Hailey yelled, burying her head into his chest embarrassed. The black haired boy chuckled, and kissed her head.
         "Seriously, I'm glad you told me too. Because if you didn't, I really wouldn't want those ideas flowing through your mind to happen..." Michael said and Hailey nodded.
         "Me either Michael, me either" she said, looking up at him now. The two laid in each other's arms quietly until Michael spoke out.
         "But why did you kiss back?" Michael asked, and Hailey's eyes widen. How the hell was she going to answer that?
