21st of June, 1989
Michael is 30, Angela is 25

Angela: I watched as servers moved around us under Edith's careful instructions, restoring Neverland to its natural state.

I finally allowed myself to relax, sinking into a chair to ease the pressure on my feet.

It was around 2 AM, the last of our guests had just bid us goodnight.

I caught a glimpse of Michael, who was sitting a few feet away along with Elizabeth Taylor, still talking the night away.

Everything felt perfect. Even with the little scare we had, today was exactly what I'd dreamed of: the ceremony, the reception, the cake... And even the dancing.

I didn't want a first dance. It wasn't even planned.

But then the band started playing a familiar tune, Elvis's 'Can't Help Falling in Love', and Michael dragged me to the dancefloor, begging me to dance with him.

It probably looked silly. Me, so awkward with my feet and huge, and him, the epitome of a dancer.

Yet he guided me to follow his lead, wrapping one arm around my waist, his other hand held mine.

He pulled me as close as my bump allowed, just swaying us to the music, whispering sweet nothings in my ear.

"Hey," Rosa appeared, pulling me back. "How you doing?"

"Tired." I admitted.

"Yeah, I figured. Want me to get you out of this dress?"

"Please." I almost begged.

She chuckled and helped me to my feet.

When we reached the master bedroom, I saw she already laid out something comfortable for me to change into.

"Those aren't my pajamas." I pointed out, confused.

"No, they are not." she smiled mischievously.

"Alright..." I crossed my arms over my chest. "Where is he taking me?"

"I'm sworn to secrecy."

"Oh, come on, Rosa..."

"Nope," she grinned, clearly proud of herself, motioning for me to turn around. "Now, let's get you ready."

I obliged, though still annoyed at her. But as the zipper slid down, I felt like I could breathe again.

The dress fell off with a soft 'thud', and I stepped out, grateful for the cozy pants and oversized jersey Rosa chose for me.

"Michael's gonna be all over that sexy lingerie," she said, eyeing the delicate, white lace set I was still wearing. "Gosh, I am so good."

I rolled my eyes so she could see before slipping into everything.

After helping me into some socks and tying my shoes, Rosa gave my arm a playful squeeze.

Lord, I can't believe I can't bend down anymore.

"Now, you just wait here."

"What? Rosa-"

"Oh, and before I forget," she darted into my closet room, only to come back with a small suitcase. "I packed everything you might need. Stretch mark cream, because I know how stressed out you are about those, that body lotion with the 'sexy smell' you like... And some surprises for later."

She winked, setting the suitcase down, then hurrying out the door.

I looked at the suitcase, a small smile forming despite my curiosity.

Just as I was about to reach for it, Michael walked in, still in his suit.

His black velvet jacket was slightly opened, the silver embellishments Bush had sewn in catching the low lights.

He flashed his beautiful grin, making his way over.

My husband situated himself between my legs, his hips rubbing against my belly.

His hands found both my cheeks.

"Hey, Mrs. Jackson..." he hovered over my lips.

"Mr. Jackson." I giggled, closing the distance between us.

The kiss was warm and full of passion, turning demanding quickly.

His hands, now down at my waist, squeezed, while mine worked on his buttons.

I tried pulling his jacket off, to show him how much I needed him, but he only broke away.

"Angie, baby," he laughed. "I'm gonna get changed, then we can head out."

I pouted. "Where are we going, again?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." he stole a quick peck.

He disappeared into his closet room, leaving me sitting on the edge of the bed.

I took a moment to let the night settle around me.

My dress now hung neatly by the double doors, while makeup bags and hair products were scattered on the table next to the fireplace.

Above it was a pinboard, with all of our ultrasound pictures attached to it, along with photos of me, posing sideways to show off my growing bump.

Michael had been taking a new picture of me every month since we returned to California, capturing how much I, or we, had grown.

He claimed it was just the pick-me-up I needed after my falling-out with Rosa.

Each photo brought back little memories, but the sixth-month mark was my favorite.

Michael had joined me for that one, his arms wrapped protectively around me from behind, his hands cradling our children.

His lips were close to my ear, and I was looking down, the blush clear on my cheeks.

I couldn't quite remember what he whispered to me at that moment.

I blamed my pregnancy brain, since I've been a bit forgetful lately.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice Michael coming back into the room.

He wore his usual slacks, with a red t-shirt and a blue button-up, his fedora on his head.

I found myself staring at him as he brushed down his outfit, and adjusted his belt buckle.

This is my Michael. My handsome, sweet, simple Michael.

Not THE Michael Jackson, the superstar, but the man who I'd been falling in love with since that one, unforgettable night.

My Michael, who had opened up to me in ways I couldn't describe, and I to him, making us stronger.

And now, he was my husband. Ready to face the world with me, no matter what it threw our way.

He smiled when he caught me staring, "Like what you see?"

"Always." I replied, biting my lip.

Offering his hand, he helped me down from the bed, grabbing both of our small suitcases.

I followed him through the quiet house, catching the distant sounds of the staff cleaning up in the kitchen.

When we reached the front door, Bill was waiting with a limo - not the usual SUV, but a long, luxurious stretch limo.

My husband opened the door for me, ensuring I was comfortable before joining me.

I couldn't believe my eyes. Champagne bottles, snacks, treats, anything I could think of stocked in the mini-fridge.

"Mike..." I gasped.

"Gotta spoil you a little." he smirked.

"A little?" I let out a small laugh.

"Only the best for my wife."

His lips brushed against mine in the gentlest kiss. I felt myself melt into him.

We barely registered Bill come into the driver's seat.

Michael grabbed my face, somewhat towering over as his kiss got eager.

Bill cleared his throat loudly, "...Mr. Jackson?"

Neither of us responded, too wrapped up in each other.

Michael's hands roamed my back as his tongue found mine, his fedora disappearing off somewhere on the floor.

I heard Bill sigh, followed by the partition sliding up.

The car started, and we were finally on our way, yet Michael and I were too distracted to even notice.

~

Michael: My head nodded me awake as the car came to a gentle halt.

I blinked, taking in my surroundings.

A mostly empty bottle of champagne that I drank all by myself, while Angela only had a celebratory sip, sat in a bucket.

A few bags of chips opened and eaten, along with a box of chocolates which Angela had fed me after we calmed down from our high.

My gaze moved to her. She was curled up inside herself, now only wearing her oversized jersey and her lace panties.

The blue button-up I had covered her legs with after she fell asleep didn't stop the goosebumps from forming on her skin.

I stretched, looking down at myself. Shirtless, belt unbuckled, but wearing my unzipped slacks still.

At least we had the decency to get somewhat dressed.

A knock on the window startled me, but then Bill's voice came in. "We're here, sir."

"Thank you, Bill. Give me a few minutes."

I hurried to find my shirt, pulling it on, before fixing my pants.

I then somewhat struggled to put Angela's pants on for her, trying not to disturb her sleep and very mindful of her belly.

"Mm, Michael..." she stirred just as I pulled the stretchy fabric over her hips.

"Shh," I kissed her forehead. "Go back to sleep."

Her position made it harder for me to button her pants, so I simply pulled her oversized jersey over them.

"Are we there yet...?"

"Just sleep, Angie. I got you."

She yawned, curling back into herself. "You always do..."

I smiled to myself, quickly tidying up the mess we made.

Finally, I opened the door, to see Bill waiting patiently.

He nodded my way, "I'll get the bags."

Thanking him, I opened Angela's door, gently scooping her up in my arms.

The Carmel breeze was cold on my skin, but I didn't care.

We walked inside the empty lobby of Highlands Inn, the manager greeting me, expecting us.

I carried my wife all the way to our spacious suite, where Bill helped me get her to bed, then told me to get some sleep before leaving.

Closing the door after him, I turned around, sighing.

There was something so inviting about the room, so perfect for doing nothing and everything at the same time.

Large, floor-to-cieling windows looked out at the ocean below us, along with a small balcony.

Angela groaned slightly, stretching awake.

Her sleepy eyes found mine, "Come to bed, Mike... Just help me out of this jersey first...It's too hot..."

I shook my head, laughing as she held her arms up like a little child.

Gosh, I love this woman with every fiber of my being.

"You're spoiled, you know that?"

She smirked. "Your fault."

With a swift motion, I pulled the jersey over her head, revealing the soft lace of her lingerie.

My breath caught. Her breasts were so much fuller now, her body glowing.

She reached behind her to unclasp her bra, letting it fall away, and I couldn't stop myself from staring.

Her nipples perked up when the cool air hit them. They seemed to call for my touch, for my lips.

Her voice snapped me out of my trance while she tugged my belt open with a grin. "Come on, Michael..."

A playful smile appeared on my lips as I took off my shirt and pants, leaving only my briefs on.

I knew exactly what she was doing, and I was more than happy to play along.

"Is this what you had in mind?" I teased, coming closer to her.

She looked up at me, her eyes sparkling with mischief, not a trace of tiredness in them. "Maybe. But you know what would make it even better?"

"What's that?" I asked, acting clueless as I slid into bed next to her.

"More skin..." she kissed me, hand reaching down.

Angela peeled off my briefs, and did the same for herself, throwing away her pants and white panties, before pinning me down.

She sat down on me, not fully taking me in, but grinding teasingly.

"Angie-"

"You took care of me, now let me take care of you." she leaned to silence me with a loving kiss.

Her lips trailed down in soft love bites.

First over my chest, then her warm tongue licked my abs, until she reached my hard member.

I exhaled a shaky breath, peeling the sheets away to catch every detail of her.

I let her take over, my mouth slightly open in awe as I watched her through dreamy eyes, the sight of her like this, so confident and radiant, all mine, forever.

~

Angela: I woke to the sound of waves, so steady and soothing.

The air smelled of salt and cedar.

I blinked, a cool breeze drifting in from the balcony door that was left open.

After weeks of the sticky Santa Barbara heat, the chill felt like a blessing, refreshing against my skin.

I turned in bed, expecting Michael beside me, but instead, I saw him outside.

He sat wrapped in a gray-ish brown sweater, one leg propped up on the low table, book in hand.

His body was framed by the morning light and the towering cypress trees that offered a shield from the world outside.

The small smile on his lips was contagious, as he was clearly deep in thought.

For a moment, I just watched him, memorizing how serene he looked.

Like he'd found his own corner of the universe and could stay there forever.

I slowly slid out of bed, pulling on the silk robe he probably set at my feet, and stepped onto the balcony as quietly as I could, not wanting to interrupt him.

But nothing got past him.

Michael's gaze lifted, and a brighter smile appeared on his lips as he took me in, his eyes filled with the kind of tenderness that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

His hand reached for mine, and I slipped my fingers into his.

He gently guided me onto his lap.

I relaxed against him, savoring the warmth radiating off him, as he wrapped a throw blanket around both our shoulders.

"Good morning, Mrs. Jackson." he murmured, voice deep.

"How long have you been out here?" I asked, resting my head on his chest.

His hand drifted to my bump, where he probably felt the babies kick.

"Not long," he replied, his eyes looking back at the ocean underneath us. "I just... Couldn't stay away from this view."

He snaked his hand into my robe, stroking the skin of my belly. "But honestly, the view inside was even better."

I giggled, pressing my face into his neck to hide the blush on my cheeks.

"Last night was perfect," I whispered and repeatedly placed kisses under his ear. "Everything. This place, you... It's like a dream. Where are we?"

Michael kissed my temple, lingering for a moment before our eyes met again.

"Carmel... I wanted it to be close but not too close. Somewhere secluded, special, just us." he said softly.

His hand moved again, his fingers caressing my belly button before slowly going lower, brushing the sensitive skin of my inner thigh.

I felt my breath hitch, my body reacting to his touch.

A slight wetness down low was felt suddenly.

"I swear to take you on a proper honeymoon after these babies are born..." Michael promised into my hair. "You deserve everything, Angela. This... Us... It's all I've ever wanted."

My arms tightened around his neck, holding him close as I kissed him gently, then deeper.

I clutched onto him, never wanting to let go.

His mouth opened against mine, and I felt the heat between us, his tongue exploring, teasing me.

Those slender fingers pried my thighs open, the tips touching the wet mess I turned into.

My eyes fluttered shut at the sensation, only to snap open again when my ears caught the faint sound of a TV blaring.

It was coming from the next balcony over, where the curtains were closed.

Michael leaned into me, his fingers moving deeper, and my body betrayed me, arching into his touch.

But my gaze was glued to the curtains, the sound growing louder.

Until, of course, their damn sliding door opened.

"M- Michael..." I gasped, my hand shooting out to grab his arm.

"Yes, Angie?" he asked teasingly and his fingers pressed just right.

I let out a loud moan. Oh, God...

That eerie feeling of being so exposed crept in, as if the neighbors would pop out any second.

"Not here," I managed, my breath shaky. "The neighbors..."

Michael froze, his head tilting back with a small, frustrated groan.

"Angie." he murmured, his Adam's apple moving as he complained.

Yet he obliged, his hand slipping out from beneath my robe.

The loss of his touch sent a shiver through me, one that had nothing to do with the cool morning breeze.

He chuckled deeply, holding his fingers up with an all-too-familiar smirk, before bringing them to his mouth.

"You sure you don't wanna keep goin'?"

I let out a shaky laugh, leaning my forehead against his shoulder as I tried to calm my racing heart. "Positive. I'm not ready for us to become someone's morning show."

His laughter vibrated against me as he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer.

I glanced back at the neighboring balcony.

The curtains were drawn again, but the sound of the TV persisted, the occasional muffled voices coming through.

"It's not fair," he whispered into my hair after a few moments of silence. "You ruin my fun, and I still can't resist you."

"You'll get your fun soon enough."

"Oh, I have no doubt in that... With the way you're always so wet for me. God, I'm a lucky guy."

I had to roll my eyes at that and nudge him a bit before resting against him again, eyes instinctively finding the ocean.

The waves crashed against the rocks below, loud and unmistakable.

My husband now traced my knees, fingers following the rhythm of the waves.

Me and him, just us. Forever.

It was overwhelming, this feeling of everything coming together in one perfect, quiet moment.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked, my thumb brushing a slow circle over his collarbone, mirroring the pattern he drew on leg.

His chest rose under me, and he let out a long, satisfied exhale.

"Definitely," he answered cautiously, as if saying it aloud might set him back. "No nightmares, again."

Tears stung my eyes as I leaned in and kissed him again, slowly, taking in the way his breath mingled with mine, the way he held me like he'd never let go.

Here, in our secluded getaway, it felt like there was no world beyond us, just the endless ocean and the steady beat of his heart beneath my cheek.

We sat there in silence, wrapped in each other, listening to the waves and stealing kisses.

The future was waiting somewhere out there, but for now, here in his arms, I was exactly where I was meant to be.

~

We found ourselves in bed once again, our lips moving in sync as we held each other close.

Michael's kiss was deep, and I felt every inch of him pressed against me, unmistakably hard.

"Mm," I moaned into his mouth. "I think I'll take a shower before the food comes..."

But he didn't let me go, only attempting to push himself further on my body.

His tip brushed against my entrance.

"Just a minute, Angie..."

His lips trailed down my jaw, then my neck, before reaching my breasts and staying there.

"Mike, I'm serious. I haven't showered since yesterday." I looked up at the cieling, biting my lip.

"Doesn't bother me, baby."

"But it bothers me," I gently pushed him off and sat up before he could try anything else. "You can join me... And I can use that body lotion you really like later."

He didn't hesitate, quickly guiding me into the big bathroom.

Of course, not completely cooled off from before, I allowed him to take control, filling me completely.

Even after we both finished, his fingers kept pleasuring me senseless.

It took me back to that Christmas morning at my parents'.

It felt like a lifetime ago, but at the same time, it was only the beginning of all this - of us.

Now, with the changes in my body, I couldn't move as freely as I once did.

His fingers moved inside me, and I leaned into him, slightly off balance when I came.

I grabbed his shoulder for support, barely able to contain my moans.

He slowly eased his fingers out, making me gasp.

I was a bit tender now, sensitive after an entire night and morning of pure bliss.

But my husband didn't let me go.

Instead, his hands moved to my shoulders, massaging away every aching muscles.

When we were both clean, he wrapped me in a warm robe, kissing my temple just as our food arrived.

Waddling to the living room, I grabbed my still unopened suitcase, and set it on the couch.

My eyes almost popped out as I saw what Rosa packed for me.

I'm gonna kill her.

One pair of Michael's silk pajamas, two pairs of swimsuits, one of which was a very revealing bikini.

The rest of the 'clothes' were see-through lingerie, new sets of lacy undergarments and a few sexy, silky dresses that would only barely reach my thighs.

At the bottom, there was a single extra presentable outfit.

I picked up one the dresses, surprised at how revealing it was.

She can't be serious.

I heard Michael thank the person at the door before it closed. He wheeled in a cart full of breakfast foods.

"I'm all for you not to get dressed, but I don't think it's appropriate for us to have breakfast on the balcony naked..." he smirked when he saw I was still in my robe.

"Mike," I turned to him, showing the dress. "I'll kill her."

He grinned, trying to keep his composure. "Rosa? Too bad, I think she's got taste."

Gasping, I whipped his arm with the lacy dress. "You are not helping!"

His laugh filled the room, "Baby, we're on our honeymoon. We don't have to leave this room. So what's wrong with a bit of... Lace?"

"Yeah, the amount of lace is exactly my problem," I huffed. "And I'm guessing you're gonna insist I wear all of these?"

Michael's smirk softened, and he looked at me with those big loving eyes that always brought down my walls.

"Only if you want to... But you could just wear your robe and still be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

"Nice save." I rolled my eyes.

He laughed again, one hand resting on my waist, reaching into the suitcase to pick up a red number. "So, what'll it be? Lace or... Lace?"

I scoffed, though a smile found its way to my lips.

I grabbed the lacy red garment from his hand and threw it back in the suitcase.

"Well, if we're being honest, there's more fabric in a napkin than in this."

Michael just chuckled, completely unfazed.

"Exactly why I like it," he teased, gently pulling me close. "Rosa might be onto something, you know."

"Oh, don't even start with that," I eyed the suitcase. "She'll never hear the end of it from me, trust me."

"But think of all the fun we're gonna have proving her right..."

"Okay," I blushed, picking up the red panties he just held, finding its matching bra. "Lace it is. But I am keeping my robe closed when we're on that balcony."

My husband looked through the suitcase again, and took out a very, very short black dress.

"This can cover you up just fine."

I gasped again, making him laugh loudly, clearly proud of himself. "You're awful."

"Good thing you love me."

"Hmm, I'm starting to have second thoughts about that." I joked.

Michael pretended to be in shock, clutching his heart as if I'd wounded him. "Second thoughts? Really?"

I giggled, shaking my head. "You're just too pleased with yourself right now."

He grinned and held up the little black dress, letting it dangle from his fingers.

"What? It's a classic. And don't act like you're not tempted." he raised an eyebrow, giving me that playful, mischievous look.

Rolling my eyes once again, I crossed my arms. "Tempted? Please, the only thing I'm tempted to do is call Rosa and ask her what exactly she was thinking."

His eyes sparkled as he pulled me back into his arms, the dress falling from his hands while he held me close.

"Whatever she was thinking, I'd say she knows us pretty well..." he murmured against my ear.

I felt his warm breath on my neck, and for a second, I forgot all about the suitcase and its ridiculous contents.

His hand moved away my wet hair, then tugged on the robe, pulling it off my shoulder.

"Fine," I said, finally surrendering. "But only because I don't have any other options."

Michael's lips brushed my shoulder that he uncovered, his grin widening. "That's all I needed to hear."

27th of June, 1989
Michael is 30, Angela is 25

Angela: The hot, bubbling water wrapped around Michael and I, muffling the sounds coming out of both of our throats.

My hands were placed on his chest, holding on as our hips moved together, hidden under the soapy foam.

I stared at him, his head hanging back, arms resting against the edges of the big bathtub, so at ease.

His silver wedding ring shone in the candlelight, my rings doing the same.

"Shit- Angela... Oh, baby..." he groaned, chest heaving under my hands.

"You like that, Mike?" I panted, picking up my pace.

He replied by letting out another low groan, fingers gripping the ceramic.

After six whole days of pure love making, endless conversation, and romantic meals that always ended up here, wrapped up in each other, I never wanted to leave our bubble.

"You're so close," I put my lips to his ear. "Aren't you...?"

I sat down on his lap a bit more, moaning in a way that made him grip harder.

His breathing quickened, and a few motions later, his body tensed.

He exhaled deeply, hands gripping so hard now that a squeaking sound from the ceramic was heard.

"O- oh..." I felt his hot liquid deep inside.

His fingers dove under the water, finding my sensitive spot, helping me climax before either of us could calm down.

My nails sank into his chest, probably leaving marks, but I knew he wouldn't mind at all.

He continued his movements as his length still filled me.

Finally, I came, more loud moans leaving my lips.

I collapsed onto him, my head on his shoulder, both of us trying to catch our breath.

His hands roamed my back, making their way down to my thighs, where he massaged my skin.

Silence enveloped us, the candles flickering while we soaked it all in.

"I don't wanna leave." I suddenly confessed.

"I know," he sighed, fingers pressing harder. "It's so quiet here."

"So quiet."

I kissed the pale spots on his neck, one after another, as an idea I'd been holding onto for a few days now finally found its way out.

"So, I was thinking..." I trailed off, still kissing his neck, to ease him into it. "Your birthday is coming up."

"Yeah, a week after you're due... Why?" his hands stopped, his eyes opening to meet mine.

"Can I throw you a birthday party?"

"Ange," he continued rubbing my thighs. "You know how I feel about my birthday... And how are you gonna throw me a party with two newborns keeping you up all night? You'll be exhausted."

"But this is your first one with me," I pouted into his neck. "As a daddy... And I'll have help. Rosa and my mom, I can even hire a party planner. Please, Mike. I want to celebrate you."

"What is there to celebrate?" he muttered.

I pulled back, searching his eyes. "Michael, there's so much to celebrate. You're about to become a father- you're already an incredible husband. And you're you. Who you are to the world, and more importantly, to me."

He gave a soft, almost bashful smile, his fingers tracing along my arms now, the water moving with him.

"I just... I've never celebrated before, and birthdays don't seem like a big deal, anyways... I'm turning 31, it's nothin' special."

"Well, it is for me," I pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. "I know we'll have our hands full, but it'll be special. Just something simple, okay? Nothing overwhelming. Maybe 70 guests?"

Michael laughed, shaking his head as his thumbs now traced gentle circles on my knees.

"70 guests? Ange, that's not simple." he murmured, but a small smile crept onto his lips.

"Alright, maybe 50," I gave up with a playful smile, thinking of some of the people I met at the wedding. "I mean, your entire family is already like 30 people... And you know, we could make it extra special. Just think, a few of your close friends, the ones who mean the most. Imagine Quincy, Stevie, Lionel... Maybe even Diana. Oh, and Liz, of course. They'd love to celebrate you."

He raised an eyebrow, looking amused but unconvinced.

"Quincy? Stevie?" he chuckled. "You're really trying to pull out all the stops, huh?"

I traced a finger over his chest, giving him a pleading look. "Yes, because you deserve it. I want you to feel celebrated, Michael. And how often do you get to do that, surrounded by people who love you?"

He sighed, his gaze softening. "You're not gonna let this go, are you?"

"Not a chance," I grinned, leaning in to press a kiss to his lips. "So what do you say? Just a small party, with family, friends, and... Cake. You do like cake, right?"

He chuckled, shaking his head in defeat. "Fine. But you're in charge of the guest list. And only if there's cake."

"You got it." I whispered.

He leaned in, resting his forehead against mine, his smile as warm as the water around us.

The babies kicked all of a sudden, sending some strong kicks to my ribs.

It made me lose my breath for a second, and Michael felt the same movements I did. "You okay?"

His hands found my bump, gently rubbing the spot in hopes to calm them down.

I nodded, catching my breath, and laughed.

"Guess they're getting excited about the party too." I mumbled, covering his hands with mine over my belly.

Michael's face softened as he felt another kick.

"They're definitely letting us know they're getting ready," he chuckled, rubbing a little deeper where he still felt the movements. "Can't believe they're almost here."

"Me neither," I whispered, leaning into his soothing touch. "It feels surreal. Soon, it won't just be us."

He looked at me, a small hint of worry in his eyes. "I don't know if I'm ready, Angie... But I know I can't wait to meet them."

"You'll be amazing," I reassured him, kissing him again. "They're so lucky to have you."

He smiled, squeezing my thigh as his other hand lingered protectively over our babies.

I kissed him repeatedly, clinging onto his neck as I did, and he slowly guided me to sit on his hard member once again.

The water cooled around us, and the candlelight's dimmed, but for a moment, everything felt perfect, wrapped up in this little bubble of love.
