Michael softly grazed Mariah's light brown curls as they both lied in bed together, staying silent and just enjoying the moment. Suddenly Mariah spoke, "where do you think we'll be in 10 years time?" She quietly asked him. He smiled, imaging the two's future together. "Married, with 2 or 3 children, you'll probably be the biggest superstar in the world, and we'll just be happy." Michael replied.
Happy. Mariah'd heard that word a thousand times but never knew the true meaning of it, did anybody really?What did it truly mean to be happy?
"Well I don't know about the biggest superstar in the world." Mariah jokingly mocked. "But the rest sounds nice, what do you think our child will be like?"
"Like you." He said back, almost instantly.
She laughed and then said in a serious tone. "I know one thing, I'll make sure they'll never have to question they're worth."

Mariah anxiously paced around the room backstage as she waited to perform for the first time ever. She was going to sing 'America The Beautiful' at the NBA Finals 1990 and she hadn't done a lot of live performing so it was pretty new to her.
She was wearing that same little black dress Janet gave her the previous Christmas and had her hair in curls like usual. Her album was coming out in 9 days and this would be the first time the public would see her.
"Mariah calm down, your gonna do fine," Anne assured her.
Mariah took a deep breath and sat down next to Michael, who was there to cheer her on for her first performance. He put his hand on hers. "Your gonna do great, they're gonna love you." He told her.
She smiled at him as she began to calm down. "I hope so." She replied and looked down and then closed her eyes and started to pray.
"Mariah!" Tommy yelled for her. "It's time for you to go on!"
A knot formed in Mariah's stomach as she got up and followed Tommy. She walked on the court as she was introduced.
Once they were done, the music started and she began to sing... letting all her nerves fly away.
She walked off the court feeling pretty good about herself.
She saw Tommy in her dressing room and he smiled. "That was absolutely amazing, you hit that note at the perfect time." He told her.
She smiled back at him. "Thank you." Mariah replied quietly.
I know this was a pretty short and boring chapter but I promise the next one will be better.
