A Million Way's To Love You™∽For All Time∽♥Book 5

~Chapter 60~

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

My one night, one day stay turned into half a week. I just couldn't go back and face him or the kid's. That argument shook me. The argument made me think thing's over. Maybe having this child isn't so great for us right now. Michael and I obviously have a huge elephant in the room, therefore I am a little worried about bringing a child into the world right now.

After staying four days with Yuli and Ryan, I have finally decided to return home. Of course while I was away, I kept tabs in on the kid's by the grace of Bill. Bill is the one that has made my absence seem a little less guilty. He made sure the kid's understood what was going on as while as kept Michael busy.

I definitely feel that a little break from all of the animosity, was duly needed. The only thing I do regret is dragging Yui into this. I know she has claimed to be okay with it, but at four months pregnant, she shouldn't be worrying about her friends dramatic life. But, I appreciate her so much.

 "So, are you sure you don't want to stay longer? Ryan and I don't mind" Yuli asks for the third time this morning. I give her a small smile and nod.

"Yes am sure. I can't hide forever. My children need me" I assure her.

She sighs.

"Okay, well Bill is waiting outside for you. I love you and please, please take care" She stresses, pulling me into her arms. I squeeze her tighter, allowing a few Left over tears to cascade my cheeks before breaking the hug.

"I love you too Yuli. Tell Carson and Ryan I said thank you for having me over" 

"I will honey, I'm just a call away if you need anything else, okay?" She says, eying me seriously.

I nod and turn towards the door. Opening it, I wipe my eyes and continue down the steps where Bill awaited me in the driveway. I give him a smile as I approach, pausing to glance around for any sign of camera's or reporters. When there seems to be no visible sign, I climb into the backseat.

"How are you feeling?" Bill asks, glancing at me through the review mirror.

"I honestly don't know. I know I need to be home with the kid's" 

Bill glances back at the road, remaining silent for a couple of minutes. I know he;s thinking of something to say. Maybe even something to convince me that I need more time. I know I can't stay at Yuli's forever. I wouldn't do that to her family nor mine. I have to fix this with Michael and move on.

"I know. I just want you to be careful. You and Michael have been together for years, and I don't want to see that go down the drain over an argument. Whatever happens, don't let it end in separation" He stresses, turning into our gated community.

"I won't" I simply answer.

I have never thought about divorce since Michael's and I separation. I wouldn't become that drastic. I love Michael and our family way to much to do that. I can't see myself without Michael in my life. Life just wouldn't make sense.

We finally approach out iron gates, where Bill inputs our pin and awaits the gates to open. There is something about when those gates slowly opened that made my stomach flutter, my heart thump, and my mind feel lighter. I guess this the feeling of knowing where you belong. I know where my home is, and it's wherever Michael is.

"Ready?" Bill asks, turning off the ignition.

"I'm ready" I reply, with a light smile.

He nods and continues climbing out of the SUV. He runs around to my side and opens the door.
