1984
Life has been the same for the past four years.
For Kevin and I at least.
Michael came out with a new album two years ago called Thriller. I'm impressed by that album so much! The music video for Thriller is almost spooky with funk. Zombies dancing and everything, it was a great sight to watch!
Kevin kept his vow and watched Michael and I every single time we got together.. Of course that never stopped Michael and I from having private phone calls.
Michael's been seeing this girl Brooke Shields. She's an actress. Pretty and nice. Brooke is Michael's P.Y.T.
I admit, I'm a little heartbroken that Michael didn't really dedicate a song for me in this album. I understand though, he's moved on! I'm happy for him. Truly.....But he wrote Beat It just for Kevin.
Michael and his brothers have been practicing for an upcoming tour called the Victory Tour. I can't come along, but I'm wishing Michael the best of luck along with my love.
"So, how's Brooke?" I smirked, sitting across from Michael.
Kevin squeezed gently on my knee.
Michael blushed, "She's been good.. We've been really good, actually." He smiled.
I smirked again. He's really happy with Brooke.
"Well, she's a very nice lady. Treat her right." I winked at him.
Michael chuckled, "Of course! I'm a gentleman." He said, straightening up.
I giggled.
"Mia, my brothers and I are doing another Pepsi commercial. Would you like to tag along?" Michael asked.
I looked over at Kevin.
Kevin sighed, "We'll be there." Kevin grumbled.
I smiled, "We'd love to." I politely said.
Michael glared at Kevin, "Great..Great.." He mumbled.
I moved my body uncomfortably, clearing my throat.
Michael tilted his head slightly, "Are you alright?" He quietly asked.
I slowly nodded, "Yeah, Mike.. I just.. Haven't been feeling well recently." I said.
Michael furrowed his eyebrows.
"I'll be fine." I smiled.
Michael smirked, "You're a tough one."
"Excuse me?" Kevin said.
Michael glared at Kevin, "I said she's a tough one. What gives?"
Kevin growled, "What's that supposed to mean?" He said, getting up from the couch.
Michael let out a small laugh, standing up. "Look, Kevin.. I didn't mean to offend y-"
"Kevin, sit down." I sternly said.
Kevin eyed at me, "What did you just s-"
"Sit.Down." I firmly said.
Kevin stared me in the eyes as he sat down. Anger was written all over his face.
I sighed, glancing at Michael.
"If you don't feel well, Mia. I wouldn't mind taking you to the doctors." Michael suggested.
I shook my head, "Thank you, but I'll be fine. I don't want to put you in that trouble.."
Michael smirked, "It wouldn't be a trouble at all. Trust m-"
"Mia said no. So it's a no." Kevin snapped.
I sighed. Must it always be like this?
"I need a smoke." Kevin mumbled, getting up from the couch.
Michael and I watched Kevin walk outside onto the balcony.
"I'm surprised everyday that you're still with him." Michael said.
I smirked, "I'm doing alright, Michael. He's getting more control." I explained.
Michael glared at me, "Mhm.. Sure seems like it." He murmured.
I whacked his arm, "I'm trying!" I giggled.
Michael smirked, holding onto my hands.
"But really, are you alright? I remember the last time you said this and you we-"
"I can't be, Michael. Kevin wouldn't allow that." I quickly said.
Michael sighed, "Well it's not Kevin's choice."
I snapped my head towards Michael.
"It's not your choice either, Mia." Michael said.
I sighed, "I don't know what I'd do.." I said, letting go of Michael's hands.
Michael smirked, "You have money, Mia. You make good money. All you'd need to do is protect that child and love that child." He gently said.
I smiled, "Of course.... Why wouldn't I? It's just.. Kevin and I are only a fling to me.." I said.
That came out wrong.
Michael's eyes widened, "A fling?" He questioned.
I sighed, "I didn't mean it like that. I just mean.. If I were to have kids with anybody-" I turned my head towards Kevin, watching him smoke angrily.
"It wouldn't be with Kevin." I explained.
Michael frowned, "I understand..But it's just the choices you made that led to this."
I looked at Michael, "I'm not pregnant, Michael."
"You don't know that."
I sighed loudly. He's right.
"Would it make you happy if I got tested?" I asked.
Michael let out a small smile, "It would do us both a favor."
I smirked, "Fine, fine.. I will."
Michael quickly held onto my hands again, "Mia, look at me." He sternly said.
I looked at Michael.
"If you are pregnant, you need to take care of yourself. No more drugs and you can't be this thin.. You're ill, Mia. I think this baby will help you in many ways." He gently said.
I gulped, feeling myself choke up.
"You don't have to hide from me, Mia. You can tell me anything and everything. I trust you, you should at least trust me back." Michael said.
"I-I do trust you, Michael.." I softly said.
"I just don't know how to express it." I whispered, feeling tears escape from my eyes.
"Hey, hey.." Michael softly said, wiping my tears away.
"Don't cry over this." He smiled.
"You've just gotta keep smiling." Michael said as he smiled brightly.
I sniffled, "You're only saying that because that's your favorite song." I giggled.
Michael chuckled, "Guilty, but I do mean it." He said.
Michael and I heard the balcony door slide open.
We watched Kevin walk back in the house.
Michael quickly let go of my hands.
"I should get going. I was gonna meet Brooke back at my home." Michael softly said as he stood up.
"Call me." He mouthed.
I nodded, watching Michael leave the apartment.
"What did you two talk about?" Kevin asked.
I shrugged, "His career, my career... That's it." I lied.
"Huh.. Interesting." He said.
I looked up at him, "I've gotta go meet a friend of mine for a while. She just got in town.. I wanted to go say hi and all.." I shyly said.
Kevin glared at me, "What's her name?" He asked, playing with his fingers.
My eyes slightly widened, "Um.. Her name is.. Michelle." I lied.
Kevin stared into my eyes, "Are you lying?"
I shook my head, "N-No." I said.
Kevin sighed, "Go then."
I tried to hide my smirk as I stood up.
"Bye, baby." I said as I tried to lean in and kiss Kevin's lips.
He backed away, putting one hand up.
I sighed, walking out the door.
It'll be a lie once I'm done...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your records say that you were also pregnant back in 1977?" The doctor asked me.
I nodded, "Yes, but I miscarried." I said.
The doctor sighed, "The same thing might happen again, Ms. Gordy." He said, looking at me.
I gulped, "W-What can I do?"
The doctor walked closer to me, "Ms. Gordy, weight gain is perfectly normal during a pregnancy. In fact, you are supposed to gain weight during a pregnancy."
My eyes widened a little.
"I know with your weight at the moment you may be afraid of that. But don't be. Just know that it's going to happen. We want you to be on a healthy diet and to be healthy for this baby." The doctor smiled at me.
I slowly nodded, "I understand." I said.
"Do you really understand?" The doctor raised an eyebrow.
The doctor stared at me intensely, making me feel nervous.
I nodded, "I do. I truly understand." I firmly said.
I finally understand.
The doctor smiled at me, "Good, good.."
I sighed in relief.
"Well, congratulations then." The doctor smiled at me.
I blushed, "Thank you." I said, getting off of the bed.
"If you have any questions call the office, doll." He winked at me.
I smirked, "Will do, thanks again!" I chirped, walking out of the doctors office.
I sighed loudly. A baby.. Wow.. God has given me a second chance. I smiled widely.
My smile quickly disappeared.
Oh god, what am I going to tell Kevin?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I dragged my feet across the floor as I walked down the hallway.
Here comes the beating. I sighed, unlocking the apartment door.
I slowly opened the door.
"Kevin?" I called out.
I saw Kevin sitting down on the couch, drinking a beer as he watched the television.
I gulped, closing the door behind me.
Kevin kept his stare towards the television.
"Darling, we need to talk.." I shyly said, walking beside the television.
"What's that?" He asked, looking at the TV.
I rubbed my hands together, feeling myself get nervous.
I sighed, "K-Kevin.. I-I'm pregnant." I softy said.
Kevin's eyes snapped towards me.
"Pregnant?" He whispered, putting his bottle down.
I gulped, slowly nodded.
"H-How.. I-"
"We can afford it, Kevin. I-I have the money, you know that.." I said, rubbing my arms.
Kevin got up from the couch as he walked towards me.
I felt my lip quiver.
"Hey.." Kevin softly said, placing one hand on my shoulder.
"Don't cry.." He softly said, staring at me with his blue eyes.
I looked up at him, "Aren't you mad?" I softly said, my voice cracking.
Kevin sighed, "Sure we weren't planning this... But I'm alright with it." He let out a small smile.
I bit my lip.
Kevin frown, pulling me closer to him as he embraced me tightly.
"I love you, Mia.." Kevin softly said.
I felt speechless.
"Don't forget." He whispered.
I held onto Kevin tighter as I started to cry.
"I'm sorry.." I whispered.
Kevin sighed, patting my back.
His strong-tattooed arms may have tough on my body, but I'm starting to feel the soft spot of Kevin..
And it's loving.
