The Best Christmas Ever (Michael Jackson Fanfic)

Christmas Eve

Michael's POV/Narration
December 24, 1988: 7:00pm
It's Christmas. The best time of the year. All our friends and family are here. Maria's family is here, my family is here. All having a good time. Everyone laughing and dancing, having fun.
*Ding dong*
Michael: "I'll get it! I'll get it!", I said running to the door. I opened and saw Alexandra and Jayden there. "Hey, come in! Come in! So glad you could come!"
Jayden: "Thanks for having us", he said smiling.
María: "Thanks for coming", she said smiling.
Jayden and Alexandra came inside and went over to the other guests. As María was about to close the door, someone's foot got between the door so María opened the door again and was surprised at who was there.
María: "Armando?! What are you doing here?"
Armando: "Oh you know, just came by to say 'Merry Christmas' and-----"
María: "I'm not getting back together with you"
Armando: "Oh come on! Just give me one more chance"
Michael: "She said 'No', leave her alone", I said walking to them.
Armando: "Is this the same Michael Jackson I knew back in 1984? What happen to your skin? Did you bleach it?", he laughed.
Michael: "You must be a fool. For your information, I have vitiligo. Get a dictionary and Look it up", I said crossing my arms.
María: "Why don't you just leave Armando"
Armando: "How about no?"
Alexander: "Mommy! Daddy!", he yelled from across the hall, running towards us.
María: "Be careful Alex. Don't run"
Alex wasn't looking where he was going and tripped over his little skateboard. Alex flipped over and fell flat on his back.
Alexander: *crying*
María: "Oh Alex", she said going over to him and picking him up. "It's okay, your alright"
Armando: "'Oh Alex!' Boo hoo'", he said sarcastically. "Oh give me a break"
María: "Armando. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Never come back and good day to you sir", she said and closed the door. Then she walked into the screening room with Alex. I followed her and there they were watching home videos of me in the Jackson 5 days, with Alex on María's lap. I just leaned on the door, smiling at them.
Alexander: "Is that Daddy?", he whispered pointing to the screen.
María: "Yes. Daddy started performing very young"
Alexander: "Was he my age?"
Michael: "I was 5 years old when I started performing", I said as I walked in and sat next to them.
María: "It's true"
Alexander: "That's cool", he said smiling but then his smile faded and he started to cry again.
Michael: "Hey Alex, watch this", I said as I started to get up and dance. I just danced and danced and then Alex's tears turned to laughter. "There's that smile. You have that smile just like Mommy", I smiled and looking at María, who just smiled. "You ready to go back to spending time with our friends and family?"
Alexander nodded and we all headed back to the others. We walked into the kitchen.
Alexander: "Can I draw you and Daddy a picture?", he said to María with a big smile.
María: "Of course you can", she said smiling and putting him down. Alex ran to the table and María passed him some papers and markers.
Alexander: "Gracias Mommy", he said smiling.
María: "De nada mi amor", she smiled and kissed him on his forehead and sat at the table with him reading her book. Just then María's father came over with Michelle and sat down at the table with Michelle on his lap.
Mr. Cruz: "Hey María, you okay?"
María: "yeah. I'm fine"
Michael: "Are you sure baby?", I said as I down in the seat next to her.
María: "Yeah, I'm sure", she smiled.
Mr. Cruz: "You know, I guess I was wrong to tell María to brake up with you Michael. For the last 5 years, I could tell how much you love and care for her and these 2 children", he said smiling.
Michael: "Well, I do love María and my children very much. I always will. I love my fans and I love my family. I will always care for María, Alex, and Michelle", I smiled while holding María's hand.
Mr. Cruz: "I can see you really do", he smiled. "What happen to Alex? His eyes look all red and puffy. Why was he crying? Is he alright?"
María: "He's okay now but 20 minutes ago, he tripped over his skateboard, flipped over, and fell flat on his back and he started crying"
Mr. Cruz: "Ooh, that must have hurt. Are you alright Alex?"
Alexander: "Yes", he said while drawing.
Michael: "Does your back still hurt?"
Alexander: "A little"
María: "Do you want to go lay down for a moment in our room?"
Alexander: "Okay", he shrugged. María picked him and started to take him to our room.
Mr. Cruz: "I think you should take Michelle too, she fell asleep", he said getting up. He handed Michelle to me and I walked to our room. María laid Alex down and covered him up and I laid Michelle down and María covered her up as well. She put pillows on the side of them so they won't fall and we both quietly left the room.
