Shayne's POV

When I woke up this morning, I looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:12am I looked up at Michael, who had his arms around me I slipped from his grasp and tip toed out of the room I walked downstairs and saw Elizabeth and Julie putting stuff up

Shayne: You guys.! It's beautiful.!

Julie: Do you think he'll like it.?

Shayne:(Chuckles) I think he'll love it.!

Elizabeth: Julie, go get the video camera

Julie: OK

(She walked out of the room and Lizzy looked at me.)

Elizabeth: Who's gonna wake him up.?

Shayne: You go ahead Good luck, though

Elizabeth:(Laughs) I'm gonna need it

(Julie came back in with the camera. We all walked upstairs and to me and Michael's room. Elizabeth knocked on the door.)

Elizabeth: Michael.? Michael.? It's the spirit of Christmas coming to haunt you.!

(We all laughed and Elizabeth continued to knock on the door. After about 10 minutes, he finally opened the door rubbing his eyes.)

Michael: What's going on.?

Elizabeth: We have a surprise for you

Michael: A surprise.?

Shayne: Yeah Come on

(Lizzy grabbed his hand while I grabbed the other and we led him downstairs. We walked into the living room and his jaw literally dropped open.)

Michael: Oh my god.!

Everyone: Merry Christmas.!

(He smiled and looked around. He let our hands go and walked around the living room, touching the decorations.)

Julie: Do you like it.?

Michael: It's beautiful.! You guys did this for me.?

Elizabeth: It was all Shayne's idea

Michael: Oh, was it.?

Shayne: Yeah I thought you deserved something special

(He walked up to me and hugged me tight. I laughed and hugged him back. He pulled away and looked me in my eyes.)

Michael: I love you so much

Shayne:(Smiles) I love you too baby

(He kissed me passionately and pulled away.)

Julie: Enough with the lovey dovey stuff.! Let's open some presents.!

(We laughed and walked over to the tree.)

Michael: Santa came.?

Elizabeth: Santa from Bel Air

(We laughed and sat down by the tree. I started handing out presents.)

Shayne: OK This is from Julie to Michael

(I handed him the box and he ripped it open. He pulled out a red sweater.)

Michael: I love it.! Ima put it on right now.!

(He put on the sweater and sat back down. I continued to hand out presents.)

Michael: Yes.! (Shows present to camera) A super soaker.! Now I know how to wake up Shay tomorrow.!

Shayne: Do it and your dead.!

(For the next 20 minutes, we kept opening presents.)

Michael: Lizzy, this one is for you but can I have it.?

Elizabeth: Yes What is it.?

Michael: It's a water gun

Julie: How do you know.?

Michael:(Laughs) I can see it though the paper

Elizabeth: That's not fair.!

(Lizzy picked up a empty box and threw it at Michael. After we finished, we cleaned up the wrapping paper and went to our rooms to change clothes.)

Michael: I can't believe you planned all of this for me

Shayne:(Smiles) You deserved it

Michael: Hey, after dinner, I have something for you

Shayne: You do.? Michael, I didn't ask for anything

Michael:(Mocking me) You deserved it

Shayne: You know what.? Just for that, I'm showering in here and you can get the guest bathroom

Michael:(Groans) Ugh, fine.!

(He grabbed his clothes and stomped out of the room. I laughed and walked into the bathroom. I stripped out of my pajamas, turned on the shower, and got in. 30 minutes later, I got out of the shower and dried off.

I put on a blue and white blouse, black jeans and blue heels. I put a black blazer on, too. I dried my hair and left it down. I walked out of the bathroom and saw Michael sitting on the bed, waiting for me.)

Shayne: Hey you

Michael: Hey Shay-

(He stopped in mid sentence and stared at me.)

Shayne: What.? What's wrong.?

Michael: You just...... you look...... stunning

Shayne:(Smiles widely) Thanks honey You look pretty handsome yourself

(He had on a blue shirt, black pants, and loafers. He had on a black blazer, too. Half of his long hair was pinned up and the rest of it was hanging down. There were a few curls hanging in his face.)

Michael: We're matching

Shayne: Hey, great minds think alike

(We laughed and walked out of the room. We walked down stairs and into the dinning room.)

Everyone: SURPRISE.!!

(Michael put his hands over his mouth but I could tell that he was smiling. I invited his entire family to Christmas dinner. Well, everyone except for LaToya. We walked into the room and sat down.)

Michael: I can't believe this.!! Janet, I thought you were in Japan.!

Janet: I was but I flew in for today.!

(We said Grace and everyone started to dig in.)

Joseph: So, boys, I've been thinking

(When he said that, I think everyone at the table, except me, groaned loudly.)

Joseph: I think it's time to get the group back together

(Michael dropped his fork and looked at Joseph.)

Jackie: What exactly do you mean, "get the group back together.?"

Joseph: Go back in the studio, do more albums, go on tours, just like the good old days

Marlon: Joseph, I don't have the time I just had a daughter

Tito: And you know Im trying to get my boys group started

Randy: I just don't want to

Joseph: Excuses, excuses Its a brilliant idea

(He sighed and looked at Michael)

Joseph: Michael likes the idea

(Michael shot his head up and glared at him.)

Michael: No, I don't Im actually about to start working on my next album

Joseph: That album will never compare to what you and your brothers have done

Michael: Have you forgotten that I have the three top selling albums of all time.? Or did that slip your mind.?

Joseph: Well, after you finish your album then

Michael: Can't do it after, either

Joseph: And why is that.?

Michael: Because that's when I plan on marrying Shayne and starting a family with her

(He grabbed my hand and held it tight. I smiled.)

Joseph: I don't think this girl is stupid enough to have kids with you

Shayne: And why would you say that, Mr. Jackson.?

Joseph: The boy is as white as a ghost I don't know how you could even be attracted to him

Katherine: Joseph.!!

Joseph: What.?

Shayne: For your information, Mr. Jackson, I love your son very much and nothing would make me happier than to marry him

Joseph: Shayne, are you one of those people that feel like they have to help and save everyone.? Because if so, you can't help Michael This boy is too fucked up in the head

(I don't know what came over me but I lost it.)

Shayne: He is not fucked up in the head.! He's one of the most caring, kind, and sweetest people I know.! Its a mystery how he turned out like that with you for a father.!

(I stood up from my chair, and stormed upstairs.)

Michael's POV

Shayne got up and ran upstairs I groaned and glared at Joseph

Michael: Is it your mission in life to try and make me as miserable as possible.?

Katherine: Michael..

Michael: No Mother.! For years, he has made all of our lives a living hell.! He's beat us, yelled at us, Mother, he's even cheated on you multiple times.!

Joseph: You watch how you talk to your mother, boy

Michael: You talk to her any way you want to.! Mother cries on my shoulder because of you.!

Jackie: Michael, let it go

(I looked at Jackie and took a deep breath. I closed my eyes and opened my mouth.)

Michael: I'm going upstairs to check on Shayne I except all of you to be gone by the time I come back

(I opened my eyes and walked up the stairs. I walked to my room door and tried to open it but it was locked. I sighed and knocked on the door.)

Michael: Shay, it's me

Shayne:(Sniffles) Baby, I don't really feel like talking right now

Michael: Well, can I come cuddle with you.?

(I heard footsteps and the door swung open. Shayne was smiling but she still had tears streaming down her face.)

Shayne: Come on

(She walked away and got back on the bed. I closed the door behind me and followed her. I got on the bed and she immediately laid her head on my chest.)

Shayne: I'm sorry for snapping in front of your family

Michael: It's fine They understand how Joseph can be

Shayne: I just couldn't let him sit there and talk about you like that

Michael: Shay, it's OK You did nothing wrong

(She didn't say anything else. We laid there in silence for about 20 minutes. I thought she was sleep until I heard her.)

Shayne: Michael.?

Michael: Yeah.?

Shayne: Did you mean what you said.?

Michael: What.?

Shayne: About us getting married and starting a family

Michael:(Smiles) Every word of it

Shayne:(Smiles) I love you

Michael: I love you more

(I leaned down and kissed her passionately. This definitely wasn't the Christmas that I imagined but I wouldn't trade it for anything, all because of Shayne.)
