I was very close to my due date. I was very nervous and must have known I was nervous, cause he was getting nervous. "Stop pacing. You're making me nevous." I said. "I can't help it, darling. Just think in a short amount of time, we'll have a little one around the house." Michael said sitting next to me on the couch. "I know that, but you're not the one carrying him, I am. You just need to relax. Think about your music. How's the follow-up on Thriller ?" "I didn't tell you. I'm taking a break from it. Until you and Jordan are situated." "Oh, well its getting late. I'm going to go to bed early." "Ok. Let me help you." He helped me upstairs and into my pjs. "Night, Michael." "Night, honey." He turned off the lights.
A few hours later, I felt my water break. "Michael ?! Michael, wake up ?!" "Mhmmm...." "Michael, I think my water just broke !!" "Oh ok !! Ummmm......stay here, I'll go get the car !! Just breathe !!!" He came back with the car anf made our way to the hospital. "Michael, I'm gonna kill you !!!" "What for ?!?!" "Cause you did this to me !!!!"

"Congradulations, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson. It's a boy." The doctor wiped him off and handed him over to me. "Oh my goodness. He's so tiny." I said with tears in my eye. "He's so beautiful." Michael said with tears in his eyes as well. I handed him over to him. "Hi there, little fella. Welcome to the world. I promise to be the best daddy ever. I can't believe he's here. He's finally here. Thank you, God, for giving us this gift." "You two should get some rest. I'll take of him." The nurse said. Michael gave him to the nurse and the nurse put him in the incubator. "I think I should go tell the rest of the family." Michael went off and his family. Everybody came in with balloons and flowers. "Sssh.." "Michelle, how are you feeling ?" Katherine asked. "I'm just glad Jordan's here." "Awww look at him. He's so cute." Janet said. "And small. Wow, look how tiny he is." Jackie said. "I was around that size when I was born. He'll be fine. I just hope *yawn*, excuse me, the media won't be cruel to him. But he'll be ok." "Michael, we'll leave you guys to get some rest." "Ok, mother and thanks." He gave her a hug. "Best of wishes, Michelle. Get some rest." "Thank you for your support, Mrs. Jackson." I gave her a hug (from the bed). They left. Michael was standing over Jordan; watching him sleep. "You gonna be ok ?" I ask. "I'm more than fine. Go to sleep, baby. I got everything." "Ok. If you want, there's some more room on the bed if you get tired." I turned over on my side and that was the first night I ever slept peaceful in months.
