The Best Christmas Ever (Michael Jackson Fanfic)

The Surprise

Michael's POV/Narration
December 25, 1988: 1:00pm
María: "Look who just got up?", she said coming downstairs with Michelle in her arms.
Michael: "Hey baby girl!", I said as I set my book down and took off my reading glasses and got up and walked to María and Michelle.
Alex: "Mommy! Daddy!", he said coming downstairs to where we were, holding 2 sheets of papers.
María: "Yes Alex?", she as she crouched down. I crouched down to Alex and Michelle came running to me so I spread out my arms and hugged her. María chuckled a little. "What is it?", she smiled.
Alex: "Look!", he smiled, while showing her a sheet of paper.
María: "Wow Alex! This is beautiful. Did you draw this?", she said smiling, gently taking the paper from his hands.
Alex: "Yes", he smiled big. "I drew for you too Daddy!", he said giving me a sheet of paper.
Michael: "Wow. Thank you Alex. It's Beautiful", I said, gently taking it from his hands and smiled.
María: "Was this your surprise?"
Alex: "Yes", he smiled real big.
María: "Well, thank you Alex", she said and gave him a big hug and kissed him on the cheek. I gave him a big hug as well and kissed on the cheek.
Michael: "Well, how about we finish opening presents?", I said going to the Christmas tree. María sat on the couch with Michelle on her lap and Alex sat next to them. "Now who is this for?", I said as I picked up a present. "Oh, it's for you Alex! From me"
Alex: "Really?!", he said coming over to me. I handed him the present and when he opened it, his eyes widened and a huge smile appeared on his face. "It's-- it's Mickey! Thank you Daddy!", he said as he took Mickey out the box and hugged me.
Michael: "Merry Christmas Alex", I said hugging him back. Then María and Michelle came wover to us and we all sat by the Christmas tree.
María: "Here's one for Michelle", she said handing Michelle her present.
Michael: "And look who it's from..."
Michelle: "Mommy!", she smiled.
Michael: "That's right! It's from Mommy"
As Michelle opened her present, a huge smile appeared on her face when she took the toy out the box. "It's Goofy! Thank you Mommy!", she said as she hugged María.
María: "Merry Christmas mi amor", she said hugging her back and kissed her on the cheek. "And Alex, you have another present from me", she said as she handed Alex his other present.
Alex: "Really?", he said as he took the present. "Wow! It's a Lego set! Thank you Mommy!", he said as he hugged her.
María: "Merry Christmas", she smiled while hugging him back and kissed him on the cheek.
Michael: "Michelle, here's a present from me to you", I said as I handed her the present.
As she opened the present, she had that sweet smile on her face again.
Michelle: "It's Minnie! Thank you Daddy!", she said as she ran to me and hugged me.
Michael: "Merry Christmas sweetheart", I said as I hugged her back and kissed her on the cheek. "Now, I got a surprise for you all", I said as I had Michelle in my arms.
María: "What is it?"
Michael: "You want to know?"
María: "Yes"
Michael: "You really really want to know"
Alex: "Yes Daddy"
Michelle: "Yes yes Daddy"
Michael: "You really really really want to know?"
Alex: "Yes Daddy"
Michelle: "Tell us Daddy"
María: "Just tell us Michael", she laughed.
Michael: "Alright, alright", I chuckled. "We're going to New York for New Years Eve"
Alex: "Really?! Wow!!"
Michelle: "Cool!"
Then Alex and Michelle went running upstairs with their presents. María went to our room and laid down, I followed and sat at the edge of the bed.
Michael: "Hey, you okay?"
María: "Yeah, I'm fine", she sighed.
Michael: "What's wrong baby?"
María: "Nothing. I'm just glad Alex and Michelle are happy with the presents they got", she smiled.
Michael: "I got a present for you too", I said going over to my suitcase. "Merry Christmas baby", I smiled as I handed her a square box. She sat up and opened up the box.
María: "Michael", she said as she opened the box. "This is Beautiful", she said as she took out a wonderful painting of our family. "Did you draw this?"
Michael: "Yes. I tried to keep it a secret from you"
María: "This is Beautiful Michael. Thank you", she said as she hugged me.
Michael: "Merry Christmas baby", I said hugging her back.
María: "I got something for you too", she said getting up and going into the closet.
Michael: "You didn't have to do that baby", I said as I got up.
María: "Don't be silly Michael. Yes I did. Merry Christmas", she smiled and gave me the present.
Michael: "Ohhh María, you didn't have to get me this", I said as I took out a fedora with my name sewed around it. "How much did this cost you?"
María: "Michael, the price doesn't matter. I just wanted to get it for you because I loved you"
Michael: "Well, thank you. I love it", I said as hugged her.
María: "Merry Christmas dear", she said as she hugged me back.
Then we got in bed and slept for a while.
