Chapter 29

Date: February 15, 1997

Shayne's POV

After two long days in the hospital, we finally got discharged from the hospital Prince has been doing great and you can already tell that he's gonna be an easy baby to handle I sat down on the bed and watched Michael pack our stuff up

Michael: How you feeling Shay?

Shayne: Great, now that our little Prince is here

(Michael smiled and walked over to me. He grabbed my hands and held them in his.)

Michael: I just wanna tell you thank you

Shayne:(Raises eyebrow) For what?

Michael: For giving me something I've always wanted: A child

Shayne:(Smiles) Your welcome Michael

(He looked into my eyes and he looked like he wanted to kiss me. I kinda wanted to kiss him too. He began to lean down until Prince started crying. Michael stood up straight and walked over to him. I ran a hand through my hair and followed him. Michael picked him up and started to rock him softly.)

Michael: Aw, are mommy and daddy not paying you enough attention?

(He made a little squeal.)

Michael:(Laughs) I'll take that as a yes

(He set him down in the car seat and strapped him in. I put my jacket on and grabbed the bag. As soon as I put it on my shoulder, Michael took it off.)

Michael: You don't have to do anything Ive got this

Shayne: You got the bags and the car seat?

Michael: Yeah

Shayne: Alright

(I put a blanket over Prince's car seat so he wouldn't be seen by any photographers. Michael picked up the car seat and we walked out of the room and to the elevator. We got in and I pushed the "lobby" button. After a few seconds, we reached the lobby and stepped out. Julie met us halfway.)

Julie: You guys ready?

Michael: Yep You got extra security out there, right?

Julie: Yeah The fans are behind a metal fence anyways

(Michael's fans had been camping out outside the hospital every since we announced Prince's birth yesterday. We've also gotten a bunch of cards, teddy bears, and stuff like that. We walked outside and the fans went wild. You could probably be able to hear the screaming miles away.

We got in the truck and pulled off. Julie was driving and Michael was in the passenger seat next to her. I was sitting in the backseat, and Prince was next to me in his car seat. He was drifting off to sleep.)

Michael: How's he doing back there?

Shayne:(Laughs) He's fine Michael

Michael: Just checking

(30 minutes later, Julie pulled into the driveway of Neverland. She stopped in front of the house and we got out. Julie carried the bags and Michael grabbed Prince. When we got in the house, we all went upstairs to the nursery. Michael set the car seat down and got Prince out.)

Julie: Can I hold him now?

Michael: Yeah Sit down

(She put the bags down and sat down in my rocking chair. Michael went over to her and set Prince in her arms.)

Shayne: Watch his head

(She nodded and adjusted her arm to support his head better.)

Julie: Aww, he's absolutely adorable Y'all make some pretty babies
