*Michael's Point Of View*

Two weeks until the big day. I couldn't be any more happier than I am now. Within three and a half months, I have gotten my life and family back, been nominated for 'Best New Producer' for AMA's (American Music Awards), and I have a new addition to the family coming in eight months. Life is good; besides the pesky media. With everything going on, I surprisingly still have time to be with the kid's, plan our vow renewal ceremony, and look into getting the house on Hayven Burst. Yes it's a lot on my plate but I'm doing pretty Well with handling it. As of now Marilyn and I are working on invites. "Papa who is Joey? ", Marilyn asked skimming over our list. I shrug. "Umm doesn't ring a bell...", She sighs. "It does for me...Joey....Joey...", Marilyn said to herself in hopes of jogging her memory. I watch her amused by her changing facial expressions. She suddenly snaps her finger giggling. "It's Melissa!! Joey..I forgot she changed it back! Dang...haven't seen her in awhile. ", I shake my head. "Me either, isn't her son Brandon's age?", She nods. "Or a year older...", "Damn...time flies", I said rubbing my chin. Marilyn swats at me. "Michael! Stop that!", She scolds still swatting. I chuckle. She hates the fact that I swear a lot now. "Sorry babygirl... it slipped out", I apologize taking her hand. "Tomorrow is Friday... ", I trailed off changing the subject. Marilyn sighs. "And...", I playfully roll my eyes. "It's the Awards... Your Secy husband is nominated for an award for Best New Producer and co-nominated for Best Chart Topper In Pop Music...both great categories!", She smiles and nods. "Yeah...Now I have to share your sexiness with the world...", I chuckle and steal a kiss from her. "Don't worry you always get the front row and back stage pass for this concert", I teased standing up from my seat. Marilyn giggles and does the same. "Why do I put up with you?", She joked, grabbing the paper's of the dining table. I take the paper's from her and take her hand's. "Because you love me...16 year's you loved me...excluding the year I messed up...but add the year's from when we were kid's... You love me enough to put up with year's of happiness, sadness, miracles, love, hate, you believed in me and still do.", I said intertwining our finger's. She smiles and looks up at me. "You forgot... that I didn't 'loved' you. I love you...always have, always will.", "Babygirl I'm a lucky man...how many men can say they married they're childhood best friend for 16 year's? ", She cheeses and shrugs. "Same here...papa I would love to go back and forth, but I'm tired and I have to take care of the kid's for the night.", I nod. "Alright mama see you in a bit..", I said releasing her hand's..She gives me a quick Peck on the lips then grabs the paper's from the dining table. I watch her leave before sitting back down. I glance at computer and search the house of Hayven Burst. I smile while skimming over the pictures of the home. If I don't get this for my family I'll die. It's perfect for a fresh start. I sigh and close the laptop...

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

I awake the next morning to an empty bed. I sigh and slowly sit up. It's been like this for a few weeks now. Michael is so busy with his career, and this house, and whatever else. I support him the best way I can but it can get a bit overwhelming. Michael just know when to slow down he's almost forty. At thirty-eight I think He should slow down a bit. But when I express this to him He just tells me not to worry and leaves the room. I am worried about him. I stretch a bit before slipping away from the bed. As soon as I start making my way to the bathroom, Michael pops into the room. "Well morning baby And babygirl.. ", He beamed now entering. I give him a small smile. "Morning papa... ", Michael frowns instantly catching my tone. "What's wrong? ", I shake my head. "Nothing papa just waking up...are the kid's awake?", He nods. "Yeah they are up and dressed, Janet and Yuli and Ryan Are taking them out shopping today.", He stated proudly plopping on to the bed. I furrow my eyebrows. "Why?", "For the awards show tonight.. ", Michael said in a matter-fact tone. "Michael are you sure they should go..I mean I don't want them exposed to the public... ", Michael sighs and walks up to me. "Mama you worry too much. I'm just a music producer. Nobody really cares....it's Demi they want. So the kid's wont be with Demi they will be with you,me,Janet,Yuli, Ryan, and Bill.", He said walking behind me setting his chin on my neck as He hugged at my waist. "It's a once in a life time experience babygirl... let them enjoy it...", I close my eyes taking in the moment. "Alright papa...but-", "Shh... Mama no buts just say okay... ", He kisses my neck a few times before setting his chin back on my shoulder. "Okay...I swear though, if a reporter steps out of line....I'm not biting my tongue..", Michael chuckles. "Behave mama...now let's take a bath... how does that sound?", "Hmm...I don't know... ", I teased. Michael kisses my jaw. "If...you...do...come...papa...has...a... surprise ", He whispered trailing kisses up and down my neck, only pausing between word's. I shiver a bit. "Damn you Michael.... ", I moaned. He chuckles and releases his grip from my waist. "Come on mama... the bath tub awaits us...But you have to keep quiet...", He instructed leading me into the bathroom. I giggle. "No promises papa...", He shakes his head and closes the door behind us....
