Michael Part II

Slap

It's April 1st. One month until Mika and Michael's wedding. Mika and Ezra have been going to a therapist since the Andy incident. Michael occasionally went to Mika's sessions with him. It brought them closer than they ever were before. They both decided to be more honest and open with each other. No secrets, no lies.

Things were almost normal for everyone. Except for Ezra. Ezra was still on edge. He freaked out easily and would pick a fight over the littlest of things.

Fortune grew more worried about him each day. But Ezra wouldn't let Fortune in. The little he did tell Fortune were lies. And Fortune knew they were lies, but Fortune wasn't going to give up.

Fortune walked into the living room to find Ezra laying on the couch feeding Nola. Ezra looked exhausted. Probably from the lack of sleep.

"Want me to finish feeding her?" Fortune asked as he sat across from Ezra on the coffee table.

Ezra shook his head and sighed.

"Babe, please talk to me. I miss you. I miss how we were," Fortune said fighting back his emotions.

"Fortune I'm fine. We're fine," Ezra responded.

"No we are not. How can we be fine when you don't talk to me. You skip your therapy," Fortune snapped. Ezra raised his eyebrows. "Yea I know you've been skipping your sessions. If you're not going to goto them then talk to me. I want to know what's going on Ezra. Tell me! Tell me, so I can fix whatever's broken. Please!"

Ezra sat up and handed Nola to Fortune, "finish feeding her. I'm going to goto bed."

And just like that Ezra was gone. Fortune cried silently to himself as he finished feeding Nola. He had no idea of how to fix this.

Michael and Mika were back to living at Mika's house with the triplets. The house had been completely redone after the...incident. The boys were off somewhere and Michael and Mika were cuddling on the couch.

"I love you!" Mika said as he hugged Michael tightly.

" I love you too," Michael giggled as he looked into Mika's eyes.

They both smiled at each other. They were as happy as they could be in this moment. Michael stroked Mika's cheek with his hand.

"You know what I miss?" Mika asked Michael.

"What?"

"A baby. And little kids running around," Mika said as he continued to look into Michael's eyes.

"Me too, but you know we can steal Nola whenever we want?"

"Yes, but I was thinking that, when we are ready, that we may have our own. Our own baby."

"Mika...as much as I'd be happy and honored to have a baby for you...I can't," Michael laughed as he pointed to his area.

Mika laughed, "you know what I mean. Have someone carry a baby for us. I want to experience the whole thing from birth. And I want to have at least one child of my own," Mika said hoping Michael would understand.

"I know wha you mean," Michael smiled. "Let's do it."

Mika smiled and kissed Michael.

"I love you so much Michael Scott."

"I love you. I really miss them..."

"Michael, I do to."

"I miss my talks with Ariana," Michael started. Mika smiled as he listened to Michael. Both of their eyes started to fill with tears. "She knew almost everything about me. I could always talk to her. She always wanted to talk. She knew more than Mikey or Thomas know. I told her about my life growing up. I told her about my parents, my brother, foster care, meeting Natalie...everything. I told her how I felt about you."

Mika couldn't help, but let the tears flow from his eyes. Michael wiped his tears and kissed him.

"I want to have kids with you Mika. As many as you want. I love you," Michael said as he rested his forehead against Mika's.

"I love you so much Michael. I can't say it enough," Mika said as they both giggled.

The triplets soon interrupted their quietness. They bursted through the door arguing. Michael and Mika sat up and stared at them.

"You sure you want more?" Michael whispered to Mika.

Mika laughed.

"Dad!" Jacob yelled as he tried to make his way to Michael.

Jason tackled him to the floor and pinned him down.

"Get off of me!" Jacob yelled.

"Hey!" Mika yelled as he jumped off of the couch. Michael sat back and let Mika try to handle the situation. He needed more practice. "What's going on?"

Jason covered Jacobs mouth as Jacob tried to speak.

"Get off of him!" Mika yelled as he pried Jason off of Jacob.

Jacob jumped up and backed away behind Mika, so his brothers couldn't do anything to him.

"Josiah was with a guy," Jacob finally said. Michael hopped off the couch for this one.

"Don't listen to him," Jason said.

"Josiah, is it true?" Michael asked.

Josiah shook his head 'no.'

"Dad, Jacob beat Josiah's FRIEND up and punched Josiah," Jason said.

"Because he was all over Josiah! They're gay!" Jacob yelled.

"I thought we were past this homophobia?" Mika asked Jacob with his arms crossed.

Jacob then lost it, "over it! Are you crazy?! Please tell me why it's okay for a man to be with another man? You like it up the-" Jacob was cut off by a slap from Michael.

Michael immediately regretted it. "I'm sorry Jacob. I didn't-"

"You didn't mean to?" Jacob asked furiously. Tears started to fall down his face before he stormed off to his bedroom.

"Michael, it's okay." Mika tried to tell Michael.

Michael shook his head and wandered to his and Mika's room.

"Well today escalated quickly.." Mika said to himself.

"Jacob was lying," Jason said.

"Jason goto your room please," Mika asked.

"But.."

"Please?" Mika asked again.

Jason sighed and stormed off to his room. Josiah stood nervously in the doorway of the living room. Mika motioned towards the couch.

"Talk," Mika said.

"Where do you want me to start?" Josiah asked nervously.

"The beginning."

"I met him on our first day of school here. I was immediately attracted to him. He asked me out last month. So, we've been together since."

"Have you two done anything..." Mika asked.

"We've made out?" Josiah said. "We were making out in his room when Jacob walked in. It was heated...umm...Jacob ripped him off of me and started to beat him up. I tried stopping him, but Jacob punched me. Jason just watched. He wouldn't help me stop Jacob. One of his friends had to pull him off of Luke."

"Luke?" Mika smiled.

Josiah smiled back and nodded.

"Is he okay?" Mika asked.

"Jacob beat him up pretty good. But he told us to leave. He wouldn't talk to me," Josiah said with his head down.

Mika patted his back, "go call him. You can go see him if you want to try and work things out, but you need to promise that you won't have sex and be home by 8PM. Okay?"

Josiah nodded, "I promise."

They both hugged before Josiah darted out the door.
