Zuri's Point of View:
"You're so beautiful Kaliah the most precious thing in the world...you get all your beauty from your mommy I know that's a fact...." I hear Michael cooing to our baby as I lie in bed relaxing he thinks I'm asleep but I'm awake.
"That's one of the reasons I fell in love with her, She has a smile that turns everyday into a sunny day and I know you have that smile..." I hear him kiss on her forehead.
"Your mommy has beautiful eyes, eyes you can get lost in forever as they tell the story of a beautiful symphony within her and that's her heart and soul..." Michael voice pauses as Kaliah hiccups.
"Aw but you hiccup like your daddy I see...Princess Kaliah I promise to always love you and protect you baby girl daddy is getting better and I am not going back I need to be right for you and your mommy you two are my world and I love you so much..." Michael sounds like he is tearing up and my heart melt.
"I want to be around to see you grow up and I want to grow old with your mama and hopefully give you a brother or sister I want us to be a beautiful family and I'm scared my past may come back and haunt us..." Michael confesses and I am confuse what did he do in his past?
"But the only way I can make peace with it I got to confess to all my sins baby girl and I'm going to because I know your mother is awake listening like the noisy lion she is..." He says making me smile man he knows me so well.
"Zuri, can you promise me one thing before I spill my guts to you?" His voice soft and worrisome and I shift to face him.
"Sure, what is that?"
"Promise not to hate me or take me away from Kaliah as I am very sorry for everything I am about to tell you I never actually thought I could make it this far without doing the things I did and now I'm scared..." Michael says placing Kaliah down in her bassinet before kneeling before me.
"Michael no matter what you've done will ever make me take Kaliah away from you, I told you that I want her to know and have her father like I had mine..." I respond smiling at him for reassurance.
"Can we talk like a patient to their doctor?" He seem to be on edge as I notice tears falling from his eyes.
"Yeah sure but Applehead what are you crying for?" I wipe his tears away with my fingers as he kiss my palms.
"I'm a lose you and at some point I may lose Kaliah too but *sigh* here goes nothing...Princess I have done some really bad things in life that I am not proud of and now that I am working on it I want to tell you everything..." The tears never stopped and he was worrying me.
Patting the space in front of me I motion for him to get in bed with me and as he did I pulled him close to me for a hug and emotional support.
"Go ahead Michael talk to me please I don't want you to cry..."
"Well first thing first I was diagnosed with Borderline Schizophrenia when I was nine years old remember when I had to go to the hospital for those long two weeks?" He says and I nod.
I remember when we were younger there was this boy name Craig Farley who use to pick on me and Michael all the time we hated him....
And one day Michael and him got into a fight in which Michael accidentally stab Craig with a pencil as Craig was really beating on Michael, I remember I was so upset I was crying trying to help him but Craig was bigger than the both of us.
"Well after that fight with Craig and mother came to the school and what not the principal ask me why I did I stab Craig and I told them the Joseph voice told me to do it..." Michael sighs and I caress his cheek wiping more tears.
