Date: January 23, 1997
Shayne's POV
After spending the last 4 months on tour, Michael has finally finished the first leg of the HIStory tour The second leg is not scheduled to start until the end of May, which gives him time to bond with our son I am now 33 weeks pregnant and everything's been going great so far
Me and Michael are now back at Neverland and it feels so good to be home Its like our own little piece of heaven We were upstairs, standing in one of the guest rooms
Michael: I think we should start decorating the nursery, don't you?
Shayne:(Shrugs) I mean, yeah but does it have to be this room?
Michael: This room is closest to our bedroom It'll make it easier to care for him during the night
(I poked my lips out and looked around. I had an idea but I knew that it would be a lot of work to do in just a few short weeks.)
Michael: Ok, I know that look What are you thinking about?
Shayne: Well, why don't we knock this wall out and make a pathway from this room to ours?
(He looked at the wall I was talking about and smiled.)
Michael: Thats a great idea Just one problem
Shayne: What?
Michael: We're probably gonna have to hire someone to do it so it'll be just right
Shayne: While we're at it, we might as well hire an interior decorator
Michael:(Smiles) I like the way you think, Mrs Jackson
Shayne:(Laughs) Why, thank you Mrs Jackson
(He walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my neck.)
Michael: He's gonna be here soon
Shayne: I know, I know You ready?
Michael: Beyond ready You?
(I made a face. With him being behind me, he see it)
Michael: Shayne?
(He turned me around and held my hands in his)
Michael: Hey, whats wrong?
Shayne: Im just....worried, I guess you could say
Michael: About what? If its about you being a mom, you're gonna be amazing
Shayne:(Shakes head) No Its...this feeling that I have It feels like something is gonna go wrong
Michael: Something with the baby?
Shayne: No something with...
(I trailed off and looked down. He must have figured out what I was talking about because he lifted my chin up.)
Michael: With me and you?
(I nodded slowly. He shook his head and hugged me, holding me.)
Michael: Baby, nothing's gonna happen You're my wife and I love you
Shayne: I love you too baby
(He kissed my forehead and hugged me again. I hear what he's saying and I wanna believe him but I know better than to doubt my feelings by now, especially when it comes to him.)
Michael's POV
After talking to Shay, she went to lay down while I went to my office to look up interior designers I found one and called the number that was listed
Alyssa: Hello?
Michael: Hi, can I speak with a..."Alyssa Bradshaw"?
Alyssa: This is she
Michael: This is Michael Jackson
Alyssa:(Surprised) Oh, hi What can I help you with today?
Michael: Well, as Im sure you've heard, me and my wife are expecting a baby and we wanted someone to design the nursery for us
Alyssa: Well, you called the right person What did you two have in mind?
(I told about everything me and Shay wanted.)
Alyssa: If its alright with you, I think I could get a better idea of it if I saw the room
(I looked at the time and saw that it was only 12:32pm.)
Michael: Why don't you come out to the property?
Alyssa: To Neverland?
Michael:(Laughs) Yes
Alyssa: Uh, ok I'll be there as soon as I can
(I gave her directions and we hung up. After waiting for 20 minutes, I saw a car pull up in front of the house. I went downstairs and met her at the front door.)
Alyssa: Hi Mr Jackson
Michael:(Smiles) Hello and please, call me Michael You must be Alyssa?
Alyssa:(Nods) Yep, thats me
Michael: Please come in
(I opened the door wider and she stepped in. I shut the door and turned around. She was walking around the living room, admiring everything.)
Alyssa: You have a beautiful home
Michael: Thank you (Sighs) If you'll follow me, I'll show you the room
(I walked up the stairs and she followed behind me. We walked down the hallway and into the room that would be the nursery. She walked around, examining everything.)
Alyssa: Michael, if you let me, I'd love to design this room for your baby
Michael: Really? I'd love that Thank you
Alyssa:(Smiles) No problem Now, first things first: When is the baby due?
Michael: In 7 more weeks, the beginning of March
Alyssa: If Im gonna get this done in time, Im gonna need for you to trust me, alright?
Michael:(Nods) Of course
(All of a sudden, I heard my name.)
Shayne: Michael?!
Michael: Im in here!
(A few seconds later, Shay walked into the room. She eyed Alyssa weirdly.)
Shayne: Who's this?
Michael: Shay, this is Alyssa Bradshaw Alyssa, this is my wife Shayne
(They shook hands.)
Alyssa: Nice to meet you
Shayne: You too
Michael: I've hired her to be the interior designer
Shayne: Oh, ok Thank you for doing it on such short notice
Alyssa: Its no problem (Checks time) Well, if Im gonna get this done, I better get started I'll call you guys in a few days
Michael: Ok I'll walk you to the door
(All three of us walked downstairs and I let Alyssa out and waited until she got in her car and pulled off before I closed the door. I turned around and looked at Shayne. She had her arms folded against her chest.)
Michael: What?
Shayne: Why did you hire a designer without consulting with me first?
Michael: I didn't want you to have to worry about it
Shayne: Its just a designer I think I could've handled it
Michael: I just want you doing more than you have to Carrying that baby is more than enough
Shayne:(Groans) Would you stop that?
Michael: What am I doing?
Shayne: You keep acting like Im gonna fall apart at the seams if I even think! Just because Im pregnant, that doesn't mean I can't do anything!
(I can't say I was shocked at her out burst. She'd been doing it a lot lately. I walked up to her and tried to take her in my arms. She pushed me away from her.)
Shayne: Don't touch me
Michael: I just wanted to hold you
Shayne: I don't wanna be held I want you to talk to me
Michael: Shay, I honestly don't know why you're getting so upset I just hired someone, thats all
Shayne: Ugh, you don't get it Its the fact that you barely let me breathe every since you found out I was pregnant! I thought you were just being protective and I thought it was cute at first, but its irritating as hell now!
(Ok, now all this was shocking me. She had gotten upset before but never this much.)
Michael:(Stuttering) I, Im sorry Shay I was just trying to help
Shayne: But you're not helping! You're making it worse for me! Nothing's gonna happen to the baby! If it was, it woulda happened already!
(She groaned loudly and walked back upstairs. I stood there blown away, with my mouth hanging open.)
Shayne's POV 1:28am
I was laying in our bed, alone I knew where Michael was though He was in the piano room because I could hear him playing He kept playing the same chords and they sounded depressing, which made me feel bad I didn't mean to snap on him like that, it just happened
I sighed heavily and got up I walked out of our room, down the hallway, to the piano room I walked inside and Michael was still playing, he didn't even notice me I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his neck
Shayne: Im sorry baby
(He stopped playing and just sat there.)
Michael:(Whispers) I didn't know I was making things worse for you, Shay
(I sat next to him on the piano bench.)
Shayne: You aren't I just said that cause I was upset I didn't mean it
Michael: Shay, don't lie to try and make me feel better
Shayne: Im not though Honestly, you've kept me sane during this pregnancy and Im sorry for seeming so ungrateful
Michael: I forgive you
(He kissed my forehead and hugged me.)
Michael: I promise that Im gonna ease up, ok?
(I nodded.)
Shayne: Now that we're ok again, can you please come to bed? You know I can't sleep without you
(He laughed and nodded. He grabbed my hand and led me to our bedroom. We both got in and he wrapped his arm around my waist. He pulled me close and kissed the back of my neck.)
Michael: I love you Shay
Shayne: I love you too apple head
(We drifted off to sleep.)
