"You're very welcome. I'm glad those families were fed." Michael says.

I smile, gently laying my head on his shoulder. Michael recently donated 200 turkeys to a number of families. He's been getting thank you phone calls all day. 

Michael puts the phone down. "I can't wait for tomorrow, baby." He grins.

I kiss his cheek, "I know. Africa..." I say in awe.

"The kids are going to love it!" I smile.

Michael chuckles, "You better bring your camera. I know how much you like taking pictures of memories." He says.

I raise an eyebrow, "Did you find my stash of pictures?" I shyly ask.

Michael nods, "Oh yeah." He says.

I blush, "I should be allowed to take pictures of my family, right?"

"Not of your husband naked.." Michael groans.

I smirk, "You were drunk and you agreed to it." I argue.

Michael's face turns more red, "Okay, okay, I get it." He says, trying to shut me up.

I giggle. "Dangerous is doing so good, baby." I say, messing with his curls.

Michael smiles, "You tell me that everyday, honey." He says, holding onto my hand suddenly.

I smile, "I'm just proud of you." I softly say.

Michael grins, "So is my mother." He mumbles.

I chuckle, "That's allowed." I say gently pushing him.

Michael smiles, "Are you sure you and the kids want to come with me to Africa? I mean, I'd love to take you but it's only for a few days." Michael says.

I smirk, "Michael, the children and excited to be going to Africa! Rose won't stop talking about it." I say.

Michael smiles, "She also won't stop holding my hand." He says, looking down his other hand as Rose giggles loudly. 

Rose smiles innocently at Michael, hanging onto his arm.

Michael grins, letting go of my hand as he lifts Rose up. 

"Hello, Princess." Michael coos.

Rose lays her head on Michael's shoulder. "Hi, daddy." She squeaks out.

I feel my heart warm up as I gently place a kiss on Rose's cheek.

Rose blushes, smiling at me. 

Michael pouts, "Daddy doesn't get a kiss either?" He frowns.

I smirk, kissing Michael's right side of his face while Rose kisses the other side.

Michael smiles widely, "Oh, double trouble!" He giggles, lifting Rose in the air.

Rose squeals loudly, "Daddy! Daddy!" She says through her laughter.

I giggle, crossing my arms as I watch my husband run around Neverland with Rose in the air.

Rose holds her arms out, "I'm a plane, daddy! Look, I'm a plane!" She shouts.

Michael smiles proudly at her, "Yes you are, sweetheart! You're going to the clouds!" He leaps in the air.

I gasp, "Michael!" I giggle.

Michael glances at me, still running around in circles.

"Michael, be careful!" I say, trying to grab Rose from his hands.

"Look, Mommy! Look!" Rose squeals.

I sigh. I never win with the kids and Michael. 

"Yes, baby, I see." I weakly grin.
