Interview
This chapter will be an in-depth interview. Strictly only interview. Maybe long and maybe boring to some. But enjoy.
We've done 3 days of filming our daily lives and now we have to do the interviews. We're doing the family interview first. We got the kids on the couch as I held Jayden.
"Okay let's get this interview going. We have Oprah here to do the interview. We figured she'd be more in-depth and know how to ask those harder questions better." David said. We planned to have Oprah do it. We're lucky she was willing.
"Hi how are you guys, nice to meet you all." She smiled shaking everyone's hand. "And look at this handsome little guy. He looks just like his daddy." She cooed looking at Jayden. "Thank you." I smiled shyly. She sat down in her chair, "Alright. How about we start from the beginning. You guys are so new to this world that Michael has been living in for years. Do you guys think it's cool that your dad performs and sings?" She asked the kids. They nodded with shy smiles. "I like when daddy lets me sing with him." Aubrey said shyly. "And we have a video of that don't we, can we see that video?" The video played. "You have a very beautiful voice Aubrey. Would you ever want to do what your dad does?" Oprah asked her excited. Aubrey shrugged giggling. "How have you guys adjusted to this, you all were exposed in such a traumatizing way. How have the kids been since, one of the kids were even injured correct?" She asked concerned. "Yeah, Ben was knocked to the ground and got a bump on his head. They miss going to school. We hope to send them back but we don't want to put them or any other kids in danger. It was scary getting that call. I hate seeing my kids like that. They were scared, I couldn't even get them through the crowd. We weren't ready for that." Michael said. "I bet. You guys miss going to school?" She asked the kids. They nodded, "I miss my friends." Ben said. "Was sending them to school in the first place scary?" She asked. "Yeah, I didn't want to send them." Michael said. "But you did?" She asked me. "I wanted them to socialize more and experience what they could of a normal life. I'll never regret fighting for them to go. It was a big argument honestly but I finally got through his thick skull and convinced him." I giggled. Jayden started fussing, so we called for Ashely. "Is Ashley your nanny?" Oprah asked. "Originally no, but the kids loved her and she loves them and she does about everything. She helps me cook, clean, take care of the kids. We love her, she's truly amazing. Especially with having a baby in the house. Sometimes we can get a couple more hours of sleep if she takes him for a bit but we haven't needed to much help with him." I smiled. "How is having another baby in the house?" She asked. "I love him!" Ben said excited. "Yeah me too! Mom and daddy let me help take care of him." Aubrey said excited. "The kids like to help with him. They were all excited when we told them besides Harmony. She wasn't happy giving up her baby of the family spot but she's warmed up to him." Michael smiled as Harmony hid her face in Michaels arm. "So are you two girls daddies girls?" Oprah asked knowing the answered. "I love my daddy." Harmony smiled holding onto Michael. Aubrey nodded smiling, "they're all about their dad." I said playfully rolling my eyes. "Hey you have your two mommas boys now." Michael said giggling. "Do you guys ever wish your life was different?" She asked the kids. "No. We're very fortunate to have the things we do. Most kids don't have the luxuries we do." Aubrey said making me smile. "I'm grateful for the life I have. My life could've been a lot less fortunate and much harder." Ben smiled. "Now Ben do you feel any type of disconnection from your sisters and your new brother knowing you all are biological cousins?" She asked. He smiled shaking his head. "It's not about blood. It's just about family. I was raised being their brother and being my parents son even though the never excluded my dad from my life. But I am their brother and I am their son." He said. "There was always a fear I head that eventually they would use that against Ben but they're 11 years old and it's never even been discussed." I added. "Does Ben have a relationship with his biological mother?" She asked. "We're choosing to not answer that question." Michael said. "That's fine. Sorry if I over stepped. Did the kids ever want to be in the spot light with you? Did you guys ever talk about bringing the kids out in public?" She asked Michael. "When amber was 4 months pregnant with Jayden we decided that we wouldn't keep our marriage a secret anymore. We told the kids that and they wanted to come into the spot light with us but we told them no. When they turn about 13 or 14 we will talk about it more." She nodded understanding looking through more questions. "So when Your Dad is away working on your what do you guys do to keep busy?" She asked the kids. "Mommy does arts and crafts with me." Harmony said. "We usually just try to help mom. Going to school helped but we missed daddy a lot." Aubrey said. "Do you think you'll ever slow down on your career?" Oprah asked Michael. "We've recently decide that I will slow down for the sake of my family. My family and marriage comes before my career and my career really took a toll on both this time so it's time for me to slow down." Michael said. "Are you guys excited about that?" She asked the kids. They all nodded excitedly. She went on and asked a couple more silly questions making the kids laugh, "What's your guys favorite thing to do at home?" Oprah asked. "I like to play with Frankie! Daddy got him for me for my birthday! I love Frankie!" Harmony exclaimed. "what does your dad do that annoys you guys?" She asked smiling. Aubrey looked at Michael not trying to smile, "When daddy says I can't grow up and When he mocks me." She giggled. "When dad tries to act like he's young." Ben laughed. "Hey I am young!" Michael laughed. "What about your mom?" She asked. "She thinks we'll always be babies." Ben said as Aubrey nodded. I laughed. "From what I've heard, you were told you couldn't have kids, how do you think your life would've been different if that were true?" She asked me. "I couldn't imagine my life without my kids. They're literally my world. I would like to think Michael and i would've adopted but I couldnt see our lives like that." "You guys did adopt though, you guys adopt your late brothers child. Would he of been an only child then?" She asked. I looked to Michael, "You know with the technology we have today, I think we would've figured something out." Michael said
It was time for mine and Michael interview. I was nervous. We sat next to each other, "it's gonna be fine." He told me as he held my hand. I nodded.
Oprah sat back down, "Michael, you've been in the spot light. We know you a little Better than we know your wife. As we start to introduce your wife's life a bit more is there anything you want people to know about her?" She asked. He looked at me with love, "I hope they will give her a chance. There's already so much hate on her name. I love her more than anything and I will choose her over my career if it came down to it. She's been there since day one and she's the most loving and caring person." He said making me smile. "Let's get down to it. How was your life as a child Amber? We see you as this mega stars wife and can't see you being any less." She said, "so where did it all begin?" She asked. "I was born in Brooklyn New York. I had an older brother and we were full blood siblings." I said. "You and your brother were put in foster care, am I correct?" She asked softly. "Yes." I replied. "How did that all go down. What happened to your parents?" She asked. "We don't talk about it often. I couldn't tell you when it all started but I'm assuming shortly after I was born my father started using drugs and shortly after so did my mother. When i was 3 they got up and left. My older brother who was 8 at the time and I were left behind. Child services weren't called till my brother ran out of food and asked the neighbor to feed us because mom and dad haven't been home in days." I said. "That must've been hard." She said. "It was. We went from foster home to foster home. They tried to split us up but we had this secret hiding spot we would meet when it would happen. Eventually each time we'd get picked up by the cops." I giggled. "Did anyone ever take you guys in?" She asked concerned. I shook my head, "no. Once Levi turned 18 he was out of the system I was able to live with him. We were on our own for as long as I can remember. I don't remember ever having a family till Michael and I made one." I said smiling at Michael. "What were some of the foster homes like?" She asked. "Most of them were unfit. They didn't bathe us, didn't feed us well, our education was poor. One of my foster parents were a drunk and actually nearly killed my brother and I. He was drinking and driving while we were in the car and hit another car head on and my brother went through the windshield. Another foster home the couple strongly believed in physical discipline, so we'd get beat if we stepped in the wrong direction." I said. "That must've been so traumatizing. Do you suffer from trust issues or anxiety from experiencing that?" She asked very intrigued. "I did have trust issues, I never suffered much from anxiety I don't think." I said looking to Michael. I never saw myself as that person. "I think she probably did but masked it well with being a bitch honestly." Michael spoke honestly. "Michael!" I laughed. "Okay, you cannot deny that. You and I both know you were a bit on the feisty side." He laughed as I smacked his leg. "Do you agree with what he said?" Oprah asked. "I do. I was pretty mean to him when we first met." I giggled. "So where did the gang violence begin. As you guys have surfaced more in the media, they are digging up criminal reports of Michael and Levi." She asked knowing that was a little bit of a touchy subject. "That's how Levi took care of me. He got involved in a gang and sold drugs. That's how we survived. I did all i could do to make money so he didn't have to but it was never enough." I said. "With Michael and Levi being in a gang there's question if you ever were in the gang or a streetwalker." She said. "I was neither. I wouldn't sell myself and I'm pretty sure even if I wanted to Michael and Levi wouldn't let me join." I said. "So what was it like when you first met Michael?" She asked. "He was an asshole." I stated smiling. "How did you guys meet?" She asked. I giggled smiling, "Well after i got off work one day my brother calls me and wants me to bring him a bag he left. I don't know what was in the bag and I don't want to ever know. He told me to meet him in the old abandoned parking garage off of David st. I pulled the car in and got out then there he was. We definitely got off on the wrong foot. He didn't like that I challenged him." I giggled. "Was it love at first site?" She asked. "It was something." We scoffed at the same time then laughing. "But there was a connection." She stated. "Yeah, he wouldn't leave me alone." I said rolling my eyes smiling. "When you first laid eyes on Amber, did you know you were going to marry her?" He looked at me smiling, "I knew I was going to deal with her stubborn ass till the day I die." He said. "Did the gang life ever test your relationship?" She asked. "Daily." He said. "How so?" "She didn't want to live like that anymore. She didn't want her future to be bailing me out of jail or me going to prison. I had a hard time getting out of it." He said. "Were you ever addicted to drugs?" "No, but that was another one of her fears, that I would eventually." I said. "You guys moved to California and got married. What made you choose California?" She asked. "Michael actually got a promotion at his job he had in Brooklyn and we had an option of moving or staying. This was our chance to get out there. So we took it." I said. "We pulled some of the wedding photos and it definitely was a gorgeous wedding. How was being newly weds?" She smiled. "We traveled, did things we never thought we do. We were living the dream. Everything was perfect." Michael said. "Was perfect. What happened when you guys started discussing children?" She asked curious. Michael and I shared a glance. "We we're ready for kids. But we tried for 6 months and nothing. So I knew something wasn't right. I went to the doctor then got my answer. They told me that I had a slim Chance of ever getting pregnant." I said. "Three kids later." She giggled. "Yeah," i laughed. "What happened then." She asked. "Michael and I became very distant. It really tested us." I said. "Now, one of many questions. Following this timeline, when Michael first entered the spotlight he began dating Brooke shields. Were you having an affair?" She asked Michael. "No, I actually left Amber. Even though we were still technically married, we were separated." He said. "So Michael left you. How did that affect you, I mean you moved to a different state that you have no family. What did you do?" She asked. A tear slipped my eye, that day still hurts me, "It was hard. Especially since it was over something I couldn't control then to find out a month later I was pregnant." I said. "When you mean you left her, are you meaning you moved out and started seeing someone and still kept in contact due to her being pregnant?" She asked curious. He shook his head, "I packed my stuff while she was at work. I left and didn't see her for 2 years." He said. "Did you know she was pregnant?" She asked surprised. "No I did not." He replied. "Why didn't you tell Michael about the baby?" She asked concerned. I bit my lip trying to find the right words, "at first it was because I was so mad at him. I was so hurt and I couldnt let it go. I planned on telling him before I had her till I found out he was becoming this huge singer. I didn't know if that was the right life for our daughter. And I was even more hurt to find out he left me for the fame and fortune. Then when she was born I finally felt okay again. I didn't want to share her. I was being selfish with her." I admitted. "Does Michael hold that against you?" She asked. "I don't think so. We don't really hold grudges against each other for our mistakes." I said, as Michael nodded agreeing. "When did you finally tell Michael he was a father and why at that time did you tell him?" She asked. "I told him he had a daughter the day my brother died. I had waited too long anyways but she had just turn a year old. I told him at the time because of the passing of my brother and because I then found out my brother had a baby that Michael and I now were going to raise." I said. "What was it like when you found out you weren't only a father to one baby but we're now going to father two children?" She asked. "I was so angry, happy, sad, hurt. I felt so many feelings. I just would look at Aubrey and I was like star struck in a way. I couldn't believe I was a dad. She was the most amazing thing I've ever seen." He said. "You had to fly out to Brooklyn to get Ben correct?" She asked. "Yes." I replied. "After meeting Aubrey then meeting this other child that was now yours, how did that all sink in?" She asked Michael. "Ben was very distraught. He was 3 months old but he was hard to deal with at the time. He had been through so much and was around a bunch of strangers. Aubrey was very laid back, Ben was really fussy for the first couple weeks." Michael said. "It took us a while to get Ben settled in. Ben was eventually attached to Michaels hip." I giggled. "So what happened after that, you both now have two children together. What now" She asked. "First Michael came over to spend time with them till we got Ben settled in then I had them week days and he had them Friday Saturday and Sunday." I said. "How long did you guys do that?" She asked. "Umm, 3 Years I think." Michael said. "So you guys were separated for 5 years. What made you guys get back together, where did it all start again?" She giggled. "He was after me as soon as I broke up with the guy I was dating at the time. The kids were like 3 years old." I laughed. "Is that true?" Oprah laughed asking Michael. "Hell Yeah. As soon as she told me they broke up I New that was my chance to get her back. It was a long shot but i had to try." He smiled. "When did you realize Michael wanted to get back together?" She asked me. "I had stayed the night at his house. I slept on the couch just to throw that out there. I stayed there that night because he had the kids that whole week because he was leaving for his tour. Aubrey at breakfast had asked why we didn't live together or sleep in the same bed like other people's mommy and daddy's do. That was tough to explain and then after that, we cleaned up and he cornered me in the kitchen spilling his heart out to me." I giggled. "And what happened?" She asked eager. "I turned him down. Left the house. I wasn't going to let him hurt me again." I said confidently. "I guess my question is when did you both start giving into this feeling, because you obviously loved each other still because here you are, married with 4 kids." She said. "I think her feelings started to come back shortly after I spilled my heart out to her because before I left for the first leg of my bad tour I kissed her and she didn't slap me." He smiled proudly. "I should've." I told him jokingly. "I think it started then too. But I think I really started to fall for him again when I started living with him after my accident and he took care of me and stayed in the hospital with me." I said. "Can we talk about that accident?" Oprah asked. I held Michaels hand tightly. We havent talked about it since it happened. I nodded. "Now we've went over this briefly. You're boyfriend Zac at the time, did he show any abusive behavior before he attacked you?" She asked. "He had pinned me down in my house and slapped me. Then I broke up with him." I said softly. "He then kept calling your house non stop. You started to feel unsafe. If your willing to, can we talk about what exactly happened that day." She asked. I nodded, "that day, we spent the day going to the zoo and getting everything ready for when Michael came home the next day. The kids were so excited. They got him these little stuff animals. I had put the kids in bed, locked all the doors and windows and went to bed. I woke up to someone straddling me, covering my mouth. I was able to knock him off of me. The lights came on and I saw who it was. The kids came into the room and I told them to call 911. He went after the kids till I grabbed him. He started to hit me then dragged me by my hair down the hall I looked up and the cops busted in my front door and he threw me down the stairs." I said wiping the tears off my face. "What was it like to come home to that Michael?" She asked. "It was probably one of the scariest days. I didn't know what he did to her, the kids were so scared. My mind was going crazy, I saw them bring him out of the house and he had blood on him. I ran to the kids, they were hysterical, crying. I ran into the house and they wouldn't even let me near her. They sat me down questioning me. I had to see her, though we weren't together I kept telling them that's my wife, I need to see her. It was scary. Lucky she recovered just fine. She just had bad night terrors for a while." He said. "He took good care of you right?" She laughed. "The best. He carried me up and down the stairs. Fed me, moved me into his house he lived in at the time. Comforted me through my night terrors." I smiled. "So when did the relationship really start to blossom?" She asked. "When I had my night terrors, i was afraid of sleeping by myself. So he would let me sleep in his bed with him. And it grew from there. We got into an argument once we moved to never land and we talked then decide to get back together. Got pregnant 4 months later." I smiled. "That must've been so bittersweet to be pregnant. Though I assume you guys were excited but the fact you can't get pregnant the first time then it came so easily." She stated. "It was a bit. Probably not for Michael. He was over joyed. Right after i told him he started buying baby stuff." I giggled. "Do you guys plan on having any more kids?" She asked. "Oh no no no. My last two deliveries were terrible. I can't risk my life like that again. My babies here need me. If it was up to Michael, we would have 4 more kids." I giggled. "You're delivery with Harmony was very traumatizing I've heard." Oprah said. "It was, i was in so much pain, my heart had stopped, i was bleeding out. I lost my memory for a short bit." I said. "That was the scariest situation we've been through." Michael commented. "But Harmony was okay?" She asked. "She was fine. She was feisty when I delivered her and she is feisty now." I giggled. "Do you think your kids are like normal kids?" She asked. "For the most part. I mean I'm sure there's something that's not normal but to us it is. I mean Michaels a mega star. We can't be normal, there is no normal. We try our best but it is what it is." I said. "Michael do you ever feel like you took away apart of You're children's childhood with you being a mega star?" She asked concerned. "Not really, because Amber was still able to take the kids out to the zoo and parks. It sucks that I can't do that with them but that's the sacrifice I have to make. I'm never going to be sorry for what i do. I am able to support my family well and that's all I want. We will never have to struggle like we did as kids and my kids will never have to either." Michael said.
"Now you guys got back together, now what. You guys had a third child, what happened next?" She asked curious. "We hit a rough patch and we made it through it. We started fighting a lot due to lack of sleep because Harmony would never sleep. Jayden sleeps good, but Harmony didn't and it made us very irritable. So Michael and I needed a break, so we went on a week vacation. He reproposed and we renewed our vows during the vacation." I smiled. "Why did you guys do that, renew your vows?" She asked. "That is something I promised her. You can't just pick up a marriage after not being together for 5 years. We had to ease back into it. I told her that we would start slow, get remarried but basically renew our vows because we never got divorced." He said. "Why didnt you guys divorce?" She asked. "We didn't want to risk the media finding out and take away Ambers privacy." Michael replied. "Did you guys try for another baby after Harmony? Or were you guys done then too?" She giggled. Things definitely got a little more serious. Miscarriages are hard and tough to go through. It's really heart breaking. "We did when Harmony was about 3? 4? I think but I miscarried 3 times. I couldn't carry my babies pass 8 weeks." I said wiping a tear from my eye. "And that's a tough thing to go through." She added. "It was, especially the first time. We were really excited. After the third time we knew we couldn't keep putting ourselves through that. We were done." I said. "How did that affect you Michael, I know it's extremely hard on the mother but i don't think people ever ask the father how they felt." She said. "It was tough. Especially when she...... miscarried. We couldn't understand why this was happening. It was a very intimate moment for us. I felt it brought us closer in a way but it's like when someone dies, but this is someone that only me and Amber knew, it was our baby. When you find out your having baby I feel like you and your significant other become closer in a certain way, you start to picture your family growing and about names and the gender then for that to be suddenly taken away. I don't think people take other people losses during miscarriages as serious as they should. We lost 3 babies. And it's so hard on her because she thinks it her fault and it isn't. They just happen." Michael said finally opening up about our miscarriages. I held his hand, he's never been that open about them before.
"So things were pretty smooth until a year and a half ago correct?" She asked. I nodded slowly. This is a topic i don't want to touch. But we have to. "I don't want to push any subjects that maybe still pretty sensitive. When did the issues begin?" She asked. "When he told me he was going back on tour. Another world tour." I said. "Why was that a big deal?" She asked truly curious. "He made it clear we werent going this time. We're in our mid 30s now. He needs to slow down. I can't keep up with the kids the house and everything else like I use to. I needed him home. He told me dangerous was the last world tour. He told us the day before he had to leave that he was leaving." I said irritated. "That's very short notice." Oprah said surprised. "I hate seeing them so upset days before I leave. I couldn't bring myself to do it." Michael commented. I rolled my eyes. "When did you start feeling there were problems?" She asked me. "From the time he left. The fact he kept that all from me..... He wasn't telling me anything, I think that sent me into a panic. That's how things started out when he left me the first time." I said. "Were you afraid he was going to leave you again?" She asked. "Yes." I replied. "There are so many rumors going around, can I take a second to go through those and you guys can set the record straight?" She asked. I nodded. "Yeah." Michael sighed. "Were you guys going to get a divorce?" She asked. "Yes," i replied. "She wanted to." Michael pointed out. "Why did you want a divorce?" She asked confused. "I felt our marriage/relationship was making my parenting poor. My kids were seeing how ugly our marriage was getting and I was becoming depressed and he was oblivious to it all. He wasn't here mentally or physically with me." I said sadly. "What was the last straw?" She asked. "He brought Lisa into our home after i told him to never bring her into our home again." I told her. "Lisa and you did not get along." She stated. "She has no respect for me or my marriage." I replied getting mad. "So is that meaning her and Michael did have an affair? That's another rumor we'd like to address." I couldn't even look at Michael. "I over stepped my boundaries for a married man. I wasn't aware what my actions were causing. I thought it was harmless flirting and she took it more serious and thought I was pursuing her. She started to make moves I thought were inappropriate and i told her that I love my wife and she needed to stop. Some other things had happened that really betrayed Ambers trust with me. She didn't find out about that till after she told me she wanted a divorce." He said taking over. "Would you say Michael cheated on you, amber?" She asked. "The way he explained it to me is that she cornered him into situations he didn't know how to get out of. He didn't stop what was happening still so I would say yes. He did cheat." I said trying to be strong. "Another rumor is that Lisa and you were fighting over Michael. All the way up to when he was hospitalized." She said. "No, I shouldn't have to fight for my husband. I told her she could have him." I replied. "The other rumor was that you actually cheated on Michael with this Joe guy. Who is he?" She asked. I could see the anger in Michael eyes. "I never cheated on Michael. He was someone I met through a friend." i replied. "Were you guys serious?" She asked. "No." I said. "But you guys were serious enough that he thought he got you pregnant?" She asked confused. I was panicking, how do i reply to that?! I looked to Michael with a guilty expression. "He was trying to get back at her. He was upset that she stopped seeing him because she felt like she was cheating on me even though at the time we were getting a divorce." Michael stated saving me. "Is that the truth, did you still love Michael?" She asked curious. "I'll always Love Michael. Being with another man freaked me out. I've loved Michael since I was 19. We've been each others world since then. I did make some mistakes. Mine and Michael almost divorce was both of our faults." I admitted with tears in my eyes. "Baby, don't cry." Michael said wiping my tears away. "I just love you so much and I hate that I did that." I said wiping my tears. "We're fine baby." He smiled then kissed me. "Now Joe was claiming that your newborn son was his child. How did that go down?" She asked. "His lawyer demanded a DNA test. We had to wait 5 weeks after Jayden was born because he was a premie. We knew He was Michaels. Joe got his DNA test and it proved Michael was Jayden's father." I replied. "There is a rumor about a secret DNA test that you guys actually did." She stated. "How the hell do people find out about this stuff?" I laughed. "We did a DNA test. I didn't question if Jayden was mine. She made me do one because she was afraid I was going to question it." He replied. "How could you be so sure?" Oprah asked. Michael just grinned. "Well if we want to get detailed Michael doesn't ever remember to wear condoms. We never used them before and after Harmony was born." I giggled. "So what brought you guys back together? That's my question. A lot of people would have called it quits." She asked. "We went 2 months without speaking and it was torture. Things got really ugly and I missed him," I said as Michael cut in, "and I decided to start seeing a therapist. I love Amber. And I couldn't keep hurting her. I lost my wife, I felt so lost and angry. I was taking my anger out on her so i had to stop speaking to her so I'd stop hurting her till I could get the help I needed to be civil with her. Knowing she had been with someone else tore me apart and made everything ten times uglier. I was having panic attacks where i couldn't stop shaking and I started to become depress because i was not being the husband or father I could be. I was setting a bad example. We were torturing each other with trying to go through with the divorce." He finished. "When i met Michael i knew how hard this relationship was going to be for us. It was never easy and we fought through so much. When ever he was hospitalized I don't think anyone knew how serious it was. Michaels heart had stopped for a minute. He was on breathing machines and had all these wires connected to him. My children almost lost their father, I was almost a single mother. I couldn't lose my husband and then it really hit me. I didn't want to lose my husband period, I didn't want this divorce anymore, I didn't want Michael to die knowing we weren't even on speaking terms. I was so scared, I told all this lawyers, managers and who ever else that the tour was over, I was bringing my husband home. This tour has ruined our family and now nearly killed my husband. We're going home. He woke up and I was over joyed. We both just got some sense knocked into us, we didn't let go of each other. Then a day later I found out I was pregnant again. I realized then how stupid it would be to call it quits this far, i know he's my soul mate. We're going to be together till we die." I smiled with tears in my eyes again. "Was it scary finding out you were pregnant in the middle of all this Mayham?" Oprah asked. "A little but it was more scary because my delivery with Harmony was so bad. And I needed Michael here. I could not deal with 3 kids and a new born. Not like I did with Harmony. I really stressed myself out over that till he told me he's taking time off from his career. That made me happy. Jayden's delivery was scary but I'm thankful it was better than harmonys. Jayden is the most perfect addition we could ask for. The kids love helping with him. He's going to be Michaels little twin." Smiled. Oprah smiled softly, "How would you summarize your relationship over the years?" She smiled. I looked over to Michael smiling and I straight up said "Hell." I laughed and so did Michael. "Michael and I have a f-, wait can I say the eff word? Am I allowed to?" I asked making Michael laugh harder, "no baby, you can't." "Michael and I have an effed up relationship. It's not something I want my kids to have. Our love is definitely something I want our kids to find. We love each other so much but we are our own special type of messed up. But that's us. Our relationship wasn't easy from the beginning but we've came so far." I smiled. "What about you Michael?" She giggled. "She's been a pain in my ass for what 15 years now? Wouldn't have it any other way. No other woman would of stuck it out. No ones put this much effort into me and she's been like this from the beginning. She's made me a better man, even though I've done some really messed up stuff. She's married me twice, gave me 3 beautiful babies and raised our adopted little boy with me. I couldn't ask for a better partner. Our marriage has been a rollercoaster and she has stuck it out with me." He smiled. "So what's next?" She smiled. We looked at each other. Then just shrugged. "Well, the world just got its first glimpse of the Jacksons and there's a lot of us excited to meet you guys. Thank you for letting me interview you guys. You're kids are amazing and so very polite." She smiled getting up shaking our hands once more. Michael invited for her to stay for some lunch and she accepted.
Ashley and I made some lunch as Oprah and Michael talked. "I can't believe I met Oprah." Ashley blurred out squealing making me laugh. "Is it weird that you're not star struck by Michael?" I asked her. "I was at first, don't you remember my first day." She laughed. "You were very professional. You hid it well I guess." I giggled. "And after spending so much time here and seeing how human he actually is because that what is outsiders forget sometimes how human you guys actually are. I've seen the ugly side and amazing sides of Michael. I don't think I could be star struck anymore." She giggled. "Right." I agreed. "Mommy, I'm going to go hang out with daddy." Harmony said running off. I looked out the window watching Harmony run out there and jump in Michaels lap. He kissed her head hugging her then looking up making eye contact with me, making me blush. "Are you blushing?" Ashley laughed. "No." I lied laughing too. "You two are like some teenagers in love." She replied. We stood there making lunch till I heard little feet running through our front door, "Amber!" Paiton squealed running to me. "There's my P girl! I missed you!" I gushed hugging her. "Where's Michael! I want to tell him what me and grandma did!" She gushed. Yes she calls my mom grandma, my mom loves P just as much as we do. I must get my big heart from my mom. I walked Paiton out to Michael. Michael looked concerned that Paiton was home already. He is very protective with her privacy. "Why is she back already?" He asked concerned. "Michael she stayed with my mom for four days now. She wants to come home." I said. "Michael! Grandma and I had so much fun!" She squealed running to Michael. He sat her on his lap as Harmony sat on the other side. She talked away about everything they did. "Now who is this little girl?" Oprah smiled. He looked at me, "I already know. I'm grabbing it." I said walking in the house to grab a confidentially contract for ours and Ps privacy's. Oprah willing signed it. "Shes Bens little sister from his biological mothers side. Her momma is away right now so Paiton is staying with us." I smiled as Paiton gave me the cheesiest smile. "Amber save me." She smiled. Oprah looked at me questioning what she meant. "She was placed in a foster home while her mom is away and I went and got her like a week after I had Jayden." I said. "You are like super woman." She laughed. "It probably wasn't the smartest decision but I couldn't let her stay there. I couldn't help but see myself in her. Now we're attached to her." I said hugging Paiton right as she was now I'm my lap. "I love it here." She smiled. "So is she from Brooklyn like you guys?" She asked. "Yeah," I replied. "And She has to go back?" She asked even sad. "We're trying to work something out with her moms probation officer and the judge. We want to move them out her so Paiton has a better chance at a good education and her mom can get out of there too. Paiton is very smart for her age and we know they won't even give her a chance out there." Michael said. "Does she get along with the other kids?" Oprah asked. "Yeah, ben loves having his sister here. Aubrey is like me, she has a big heart and loves helping others. Harmony is still adjusting a little. It's been a rough couple years so we've been doing therapy with all of us for the pass year." I said. "You like having Paiton here?" Oprah asked Harmony. Harmony looked at Paiton, "Yeah she my best friend." She smiled. That warmed my heart. "What's your name?" Paiton asked Oprah. "I'm Oprah. It's nice to meet you," Oprah smiled big.
Ashley brought out lunch and we all sat outside eating. My mom stayed for lunch too after she dropped Paiton off "Grammy made a really good dinner last night! It was tacos and stuff!" Paiton said. "So this is your mom Amber?" Oprah asked. "Yeah this is my mother Courtney." I smiled introducing them. We then talked about how that all went down. Paiton hopes down from her chair running out to Michael whispering in his ear than gave him puppy dog eyes. "What does she want?" I giggled. "Ice cream. How am I suppose to say no?" He asked laughing. "Let then have some ice cream." I giggled. "Yeah!" Ben cheered.
We spent the whole day just hanging out and enjoying our time with P. Since she leaves in 3 months.
