Family Ties

Everyone Is Not Your Friend

A month later.... 

Roberta's POV
It's been a whole month since loosing my baby. The pain is still indescribable.  The memories no longer haunt me but I will never forget this. At all... This right here just might be what breaks me... I'm told that I'm much stronger than I think but I'm trying to figure out how though because today Is the first day that I've been in her room since it all happened. Most of her things are still in boxes.  I did do a lot of shopping for her as soon as I found out I was having another girl. Discreetly and everything but I guess God had other plans. I'm taking all of this one day at a time.  I'm just now being ok with being in Lyn room because her room was inspired by Lyn room. My family as well as Mike's family has been so supportive that it's amazing because God knows that this isn't the easiest thing I've been through. On today agenda is an photo shoot and a dinner with the Chandlers.  Now I know that they aren't the best people that I need to see but we have pushed this dinner soo many times because of what happened that it was only right to have it now. This time our children will be sleep by the time the dinner starts.  Speaking of children I love them soo much.  My big girl is my mini therapist even though she is four and is in Pre-K and don't understand much she is soo good.  Then there is my baby boy who will be two soon and is soo mature for his age he is going to turn out like his dad who is phenomenal and have not left my side because he too is also grieving. I have a therapist and she is absolute best.  She keeps me afloat. She was mikes idea.  I thank him for that.  I have noticed that I've thrown myself into work.  Me and the girls are working hard as ever for this tour.  My solo spot that I mentioned before is for Red Light a special. I have choreograph my dance I keep practicing for it.  I haven't really jumped into modeling get due to me still being a bit over my original weight so I've just been working on myself as well.  However my therapist advised me to not to hurt myself.  Take mandatory breaks when I feel the need to.  I think I'm just fine.

Michael's POV
A month has gone by already and Normal still isn't my word to use.  Between music family and life I've been all over the place in all aspects.  Mourning is something that I don't do too well.  Roberta doesn't do it well neither she has thrown herself into work all the way. That's her way to not think about her pain.  I understand and I'm proud of her for wanting to continue to her commitments I just want her to remember to take breaks and breath. In other news the Chandler's are coming over tonight.  They are bringing their youngest son tonight and I'm happy to see them.  Ever since the incident Roberta has been showing some signs of trust issues when it comes to this family and some days I argue with her but she argues back and then leave...  I just hope tonight goes well.  I'm almost to the door and anticipating this dinner. ..

        Two hours later ....

Roberta's POV
Dinner is going well. I have on a champagne gold floral dress with my hair curly. Gold make up. Mike has on a white  cardigan with a gold button down shirt with his hair slightly curly . Black slacks and penny loafers . The dinner is amazing thanks to our amazing staff.  Evan left to take a phone call about 20 min ago...  I don't care really but um we are in the middle of dinner and we aren't having it for you.  We are having it for your son who time here on this earth is limited and I'm sure he would want his dad with him... 

Mike: Honey we are running out of champagne . Did you want to continue drinking this one or switch? 

Me: well Mrs Chandler liked the one we have.  So I'll go see if we have some more.  But if not what else should you prefer Mrs Chandler? 

Mrs. Chandler: umm whatever you guys have that's fine .

Me: OK I'll be right back.

I go to our wine cellar and as I'm thinking about what we have which is a lot I hear talking.  I know he still on the phone but why is mike name in every sentence?
