*Marilyn's Point Of View*

I awake this morning with a heavy heart. I've counted the day's, hour's, and seconds. I counted in hopes that I would never face that nightmare. I glance over my shoulder where Michael's face laid. Feeling his steady breaths on my nose, I let out a small giggle. Hoping I didn't wake him, I turn my gaze to the wall ahead of me. I his want to lay here with him like this forever(or at least until the trial blows over ). A few minutes pass before Michael starts stirring from his sleep. I remain still awaiting his 'good morning wishes'. "Morning mama...", He yawned tiredly. I roll over on my side now face to face with him. "Morning papa....", I chirped cheesing. Michael chuckles. "It's 6:55 a.m. and you're all smiles? ", He joked. I giggle and plant a soft kiss on his lips. "Just wanted to lighten the mood!", I chirped again trying not to be obvious of the day we have ahead. Michael must have caught my intention because his smile slowly fades. "Today's the day...", He breathed turning away from me to sit up. I sigh and do the same. "Papa just know your family is with you every step of the way....", I said leaning on his shoulder. "I know... when is mother Burgess coming?... God do we have enough room for everyone... no offense babygirl but this house is small...", I sit up and pinch his shoulder. "My house isn't that small!", I pouted. "Ow! Why did you pinch me?", Michael whined rubbing his shoulder. "Because you're being an ass...", I said as I slipped out of the bed. "Aww come on....Why mood swing number four?....I think I like two better", Michael said mirroring me. I shoot him a look. "So now I'm having mood swings?...Tell me Michael... what's this number two?", I demanded not breaking my glare. Michael scratches the back of his neck nervously. "Okay.... This is my View on your mood swings when you're pregnant... One, you are all lovey-dovey. Two, you're horny. Thre-", "Michael! That's so not true!...", Now it was Michael's turn to give me his 'oh really' look. "Girl...If you only knew...I will admit I enjoy being smacked around by a sexually crazed pregnant woman...", I roll my eyes. "God you're such a pervert.... ", Michael chuckles. "What? It's a total turn on...Look I'm sorry if I offended you...", I walk towards him. "It's okay Papa... Now let's get started with room assignments so we can get ready to end this nightmare... ", I said give Michael a quick Peck on the lips. He takes in a long deep breath. "Alright... Let's get this show on the road...",...

*Michael's Point Of View*

  I'm tearing a hole into his freaking eyes. I can't believe I dreaded doing this. I need some peace; and maybe a little revenge. We were just called out for recess. I just want this to be over so I can move on. "Michael look I think the prosecution is going to pull out the big gun's... Now from what you've told me, you and Channing have lashed at it on numerous of occasions?", Said my lawyer; Randall Austin. He's a gray haired older mine that looks good for his prime of sixty-something. He's been in the attorney business for 25 year's; has yet to have lost a case. "Umm... I wouldn't say numerous... just a couple... it was more verbal than anything else...", I said grabbing a grape from the snack table. He nods and jots what I said down. "Okay... I also have concluded that they are going to use Marilyn as either a witness or to  testify...against you...they're smart...they'll do both...", I sigh. "Why would they do that? She's my wife! We don't need witnesses... The damn psycho tried to end my freaking life!!", I exclaimed now sitting down. Randall mutters something to himself before sitting beside me. "Is everything okay Michael? ", I heard a voice ask. I look up to see my bodyguard; Bill. Now, I'm still getting use to trusting my life in someone else's hands. "Yes Bill I'm okay... How is Marilyn? ", He sighs. "She seems a little disoriented...honestly ", I stand up. "Can you take me to her?", Bill nods. I glance back at Randall. "I'll be back...", He nods. Bill carefully escorts me out of the jury room and into the main hall. As soon as we step out into the hall, camera's instantly begin to flash. "Mister Jackson! Mister Jackson.... the AMA's are a few weeks away...Do you think this trial will be over by then?", One reported asked trying to shove past the many other's. Bill gently pushes me forward while signaling for the other bodyguards to aid. "Michael! Is it true your wife is pregnant with your third biological child?", Another called from behind. I turn to say something but Bill stops me. "No never answer them...keep moving! ", I obey his warning and continued ignoring all questions. It took about ten minutes before we made it to the other side of the courthouse. Marilyn, My mother, her mother (Ms. Burgess ), Joseph, Janet, and David was there waiting. They all gasped and smiled once they saw me. "Awe there's my babyboy!! ", My mother cooed hugging me. I chuckle. "Kat it's only been fifteen minutes since you last saw me...", She smiles as tears form in her eyes. "I-I know.... I'm just glad you're here honey... ", I frown and kiss her cheek. "Kat don't cry please... everything's gonna be fine...", She nods as Ms.Burgess and David approach me. "Awe the son I've always wanted...Michael I miss you sweetheart... when this is over...we've got to get together.... ", She said pulling me into a tight hug. When she breaks the hug she walks away to calm my mother. "I missed you Mike.... still don't like you but....I missed you.... ", David said patting my back. I chuckle. The man is crazy. Joseph steps up to me and instantly pulls me into a long loving hug. I couldn't help but cry a little. My family means so much to me. It feels good that they feel the same; maybe not David. After a few more minutes of hugs and kisses from everyone else I scanned the room until I locked eyes with my babygirl. I motioned for her to come here. She cheeses and obeys. "How are yo-", I put my index finger to her lips. "Shh I don't want to answer those questions....come with me...", I whispered taking her hand. Marilyn giggles at my sudden mood change. "Uhh Michael where are you going? ", Bill asked as I walked to the door. "Uhh nowhere Marilyn needs tissue..", I said quickly continuing to walk away. "Michael... you can't lie to your bodyguard.... ", Marilyn whispered as we turned a corner. "Look babygirl..... I'm hot...I'm freaking hot.....I can't take it....", I said walking her into the men's room. Marilyn gives me a sideways glance. "What?", I chuckle. "Babygirl do I need to spell it out for you?....I'm hor- ", "Oh my God.... Seriously? ", She said now looking confused. I nod. "I know I'm totally against the quickie thing but...if I don't get a taste I'm going to explode....", Marilyn giggles again. "Mmm now papa... are you sure you can handle me?", She said slow and seductively. I nod picking her up and placing her on the sink. "Anyway you want mama....", She quickly unbuttons her blouse. "We only have ten minutes papa...", She teased pulling me closer to her by my tie. I kiss her lips and trail to her ear. "That's all I need babygirl... ",...
