Michael

Natalie

Michael woke up to a beeping sound.

His eyes were still blurry. He could hear three voices arguing: Fitz, Mika, and Natalie. Natalie was Michael's ex and the mother of his kids.

"I don't care Mika. As long as he's in the hospital the kids are staying with me. I'm their mother. You're nothing to them," she yelled at Mika.

"It's Michael I'm worried about. You can't take them away from him. He has custody!" Mika yelled back.

"I have rights when he's in a situation like this. He might as well be.." she was cut off by Michael.

"Stop..please.." he barely got out of his mouth. He was weak, confused, and dizzy. "Mika.."

Mika ran to his side, "love it's okay. You're in the hospital. You've been out for a week."

"The kids.." Michael forced out of his mouth.

"They're all here. They're just in the waiting room. Fitz go get them," he asked Fitz.

"Daddy!" Ariana yelled in joy as she ran over to her father and hugged him. "We were worried about you." He kissed her head and hugged her back.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"Michael I'm taking the kids to Miami with me. Ezra and Emmet are staying with you," Natalie told Michael.

Michael just shook his head in agreement, "it's okay. I don't want them to see me like this anyways.." He said before he passed out again.

Michael woke up a week later.

Confused and dizzy again. He looked around the room. No one was there. He pushed the button that was in his hand.

Fitz immediately walked through the door, "your awake, finally!" He smiled as he started to check Michael's vitals.

"Where's Mika?" He asked tiredly.

"He's on his way back from Italy," he answered as he took a seat in the chair next to Michael's bed.

"Why'd he go to Italy?"

"I'm not sure. Something to do with some show. I don't really remember, but yea. The boys should be by shortly," he said as he checked his watch.

"Ezra and Fortune?"

"Yes. And Emmet and Jacob."

"I thought Natalie took Jacob with her."

"Well he gave her a really hard time at the airport, so being Natalie, she left him."

Michael nodded and tried to sit up.

"Nope. You need to lay down," Fitz said as he pushed Michael back down. "You've got surgery tomorrow." Michael looked at Fitz confused. "We're going to remove whatever we can of your tumor and do a biopsy of it to see if it's cancerous or not."

Michael nodded as the boys walked into the room. "Dad!"Ezra shouted in joy as he ran over to his father.

Everyone hugged him.

"So, Fitz said you might be out in time for our birthday," Ezra said as he smiled. Michael looked at Fitz.

"Yea. If the surgery goes well and if your recovery goes well you should be out in time," Fitz responded.

Michael smiled. "Well I hope everything works out. I just wanna be home."

"Are we staying in London?" Emmet signed to his father.

"I believe so," Michael answered.

"You going to marry Mika?" Jacob asked.

"I hope so," Michael smiled. "I miss him."
