Michael

Goodnight.

Ezra ran up the stairs to his fathers room before bed. "Dad can I use your phone? Mines in my locker."

Michael put his book down on the nightstand and grabbed his phone. "Depends. Who do you need to call?"

"Fortune."

"Isn't he in London?" Michael asked as he laid back down.

"Yea. Why?"

"Well it's 10:00 at night here, so it's...3:00 in the morning there.."

"Oh yea," Ezra chuckled. "I forgot about the time difference, but he woke me up at 4:30 this morning so...I think I'll return the favor."

They both laughed.

"Did he mention Mika or...me when you talked to him?" Michael asked with a hopeful look on his face.

"No. We didn't talk long."

"Oh."

"So, can I use your phone?"

"Yeah," Michael answers as Sophie began to cry. "Ten minutes Ezra. Then bed." Michael finished as he marched to Sophie's room.

Ezra grabbed his fathers phone and ran outback and sat on the porch steps.

"Hello?" Fortune tiredly answered.

"Hey," Ezra responded.

"Ezra?"

"Yea.."

"I called you earlier."

"I left my phone at school. Sorry."

"It's alright."

"Were you sleeping?" Ezra questioned.

"Fortune get off the phone," an unfamiliar voice said.

"Shush. I have to go Ezra." Fortune stated.

"Who was that?" Ezra nervously asked.

"No one.."

"Fortune come back to bed!" The other voice shouted.

"Who was that Fortune?!"

"Don't worry about it Ezra. Goodnight."

Before Ezra could say anything the line went dead.

Ezra tried calling back, but no answer.

He tried a second time, but it went straight to voicemail.

Ezra stood up and started pacing back and forth.

He called again. Nothing. He dialed Mika's number.

"Hello?" Mika answered.

"Mika?! Is Fortune with you?"

"Ezra? No. I'm assuming he's at his flat."

"Great." Ezra continued to pace.

"What's wrong Ezra?"

"We were talking and I heard another guy ask him to come back to bed."

"What? Shit. Ezra.."

"Ezra I told you ten minutes." Michael said standing at the edge of the porch.

"I know dad. Just ten more minutes, please?" Ezra asked.

"No. Finish up." Michael said as he continued to stand there.

Ezra sighed. "I have to go Mika."
Michael's eyes lit up. "Please call me if you talk to him or have him call me?"

"I will Ezra. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Ezra hung up and gave his father his phone back.

"You were talking to Mika?" Michael asked his son as he followed him into the kitchen.

"Yea...Fortune didn't answer, so I asked him to have Fortune call me on your phone...in case I still don't have mine.." Ezra lied.

"Did he ask about me?"

"No. You should call him though." Ezra smiled as he headed downstairs to bed.

Michael ran back upstairs as jumped in bed when his phone rang. It read 'Mika.'

"Hello?" He answered.

"Is Ezra there?" Mika questioned.

"He just went to bed. Did you want me to take a message?"

"No that's alright. I'll just call him tomorrow."

"Okay...Mika?"

"Michael?"

"Im sorry. For everything."

"Michael, I meant every word that I said to you. I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. There's no one else. There's not going to be anyone else. Just you."

"Then why did you leave?"

"You left. Remember?"

"You didn't come after me."

"Michael. I. I wanted to, but you wouldn't have listened to me. You wouldn't even let me speak, remember?"

"Yea. I'm sorry. I love you."

"I love you too. And I can't wait to see you."

"When are you coming back?"

"I'm not sure. I was looking at my schedule earlier trying to figure it out, but my family came over and you know.." Mika giggled.

"I wish I could just come see you."

"You should. Just get on a plane and come see me. I promise I'll make it worth it." Mika giggled again.

"I wish, but I can't. I don't have anyone to watch the kids."

"You have a Fitz Michael."

"A Fitz?"

"Yes A Fitz. Just have him watch them for a few days. They'll be fine. Please???" Mika begged.

"I don't know.."

"Please?!?" he begged again.

"I'll talk to him, okay?" Michael smiled.

"Good. So, I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Maybe."

"Okay love. I love you."

"I love you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight love."

Michael smiled as he hung up. He jumped up out of the bed and ran downstairs to see Fitz. When he walked into Fitz's room he was shocked at what he saw...
