Jordan Parker

We just got back from the Urgent Care and I was laying down. Michael came in thinking that I was asleep and laid beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my lips before he smiled. I opened my eyes to see his tired eyes closing and smiled.

Suesie: I knew you weren't gone.

I kissed his forehead and earned a chuckle from him.

Michael: I will never go away.

Suesie: Which Michael?

I said grinning.

Michael: There is no 'Which Michael?' There will always be me and no one else. There is no 'Nice Michael' no 'Controlling Michael' no 'Provocative Michael' or even a 'Mean Michael'. There has always been and always will be Michael Jackson.. The man that you love.

Suesie: Oh really? So, was that payback for Halloween?

Michael grinned.

Michael: Maybe.. Maybe not.

Michael said turning over.

Suesie: I'd really like to see one of the 'Michael''s again.

Michael: Oh really? And which one would that be?

Michael said slightly turning.

Suesie: 'Mean Michael' mixed with 'Provocative Michael' and 'Nice Michael'.

Michael laughed.

Michael: When you get better, then I will let them have you.

I pouted.

Suesie: But I want them now..

Michael faced me and started thinking about it.

Michael: Maybe I can compromise.

I smiled.

Suesie: Which one am I getting?

Michael: Husband Michael.

Suesie: Oh come on! Please tell me he's something that I'll enjoy..

I said teasing him but I said it like I was frustrated with a smile on my face. Michael got closer to me hovered over me.

Michael: He all three.

He said in my ear.

Michael: He can play nice.. He hates to get mad.. But he loves to play.

He said between kisses.

Suesie: Perfect..

This went on for a while but nothing happened. The next morning I got up at eleven o'seven and I was shocked. I sat up and looked around.

Suesie: Oh God.. I better get up.

I pulled the covers off of me and sighed.

Suesie: Right.. I'm on bed rest for a week or until I'm better.. Just great.

I grabbed the phone and dialed LaToya's number. I hope Michael left the door unlocked for her. I heard a few sounds coming from downstairs and then i heard feet traveling up the stairs. The door opened and LaToya came in with a tray of food.

LaToya: Morning early bird!

She smiled.

Suesie: You're just the person that I wanted to see.

LaToya: Oh really, and why is that?

Suesie: I want to talk about Michael.. And the fourteenth.

LaToya: Oh Lord.. What's wrong?

She said sitting next to me on the bed.

Suesie: Does Michael have multiple personalities?

LaToya looked at me for a while and then started laughing.

LaToya: Is that it?

Suesie: What?

LaToya: He can when he wants to. For instance, he can be a punk to us and then when you come, he's all over you and being the sweetest person in the world. But that's normal.

Suesie: I mean, last night.. He changed personalities but he said he was kidding. He was deadpanning too well and I was almost convinced that my sweet Michael was gone.

LaToya: He did that to us when we were little. He'd act like the best person in the world and care for us but then he'd change to being mean but he'd never hurt us. He just did it for entertainment.

Suesie: Is that what he did with me?

LaToya: Did he say he was kidding?

Suesie: Well.. Yes.

LaToya: Then he was.

Suesie: Alright then.. And the fourteenth..

LaToya fell backwards onto the bed and covered her face as she groans.

LaToya: Not this shit again.

Suesie: I know.. But it's only a hop, skip, and a jump away. I want know if I'll survive this.

LaToya: Only God knows.

Suesie: I know that. All I have been doing is putting this God's hands but it seems that the devil is getting to me. He's eating my soul alive and I keep throwing up.... Michael also threw a terrifying tantrum.

LaToya: Just pray and tell me about what happened.

I told her everything and LaToya looked frightened.

Suesie: And that's what went down.

LaToya: No.. That's not like Michael at all.. The only time he ever did something crazy like that was when dad made him loose his mind.. And that happened quite a few times but that was years ago.

Suesie: I think now is a good time to have Michael sent away with Janet for a while and I will stay with you & Rebbie.

LaToya nodded.

LaToya: I'll start packing.

Suesie: Thank you, and I'll talk to.. Or should you?

LaToya came to a good conclusion that both of us should do it together at the same time.

LaToya: When he comes home tonight, we'll tell him.

Suesie: Good. This will give me enough time to breathe.

LaToya: Why do you need to so desperately get away from Michael?

Suesie: It's hard to explain..

LaToya: Try.

Suesie: I can't.. I just can't put it into words.

I said struggling to get the words out of my mouth. LaToya moved the hair out of my face and gave me a small smile.

LaToya: I love you sis and I hope you know that you can tell me anything.

Suesie: I know this..

LaToya: But if not me, then you've got Rebbie.. But I'd prefer me.

I laughed and then held my stomach.

Suesie: Will you pass me that bucket, please?

I said pointing to the side of the bed. LaToya handed me the bucket just in time..

LaToya: My lord.. I've never seen anyone this sick before while pregnant.. My mother had a lot of pregnancies but never like this..

Suesie: I just don't feel well.

LaToya: Have you gone to see a doctor, like I told you, to yet?

Suesie: No..

I said shaking my head.

Suesie: Only the doctor about my legs.

LaToya: You need to go see one today and see what's going on with your body.

Suesie: It's just stress, I need to stop stressing but it's so hard not to..

LaToya: You need a doctor and a good long ass vacation, you hear me?

Suesie: I know.. I wanna get away from everything and go back to New York for a while to spend time with my family.

LaToya: It could be that you're homesick.

Suesie: I know I am.

LaToya: Listen, how about I get you transportation and you come back when you're ready.

Suesie: No, no.. He'll no. Toya I could never allow you to pay for my trip or pave the way for me.

LaToya: You will if it means that you'll get better.

Suesie: How can you be so sure?

LaToya: You have no decision or a choice.. I've already gotten the tickets for you.

Suesie: Fuck the what? Toya!

LaToya: You're welcome.

Suesie: What's going to happen with Michael? Surely he will not let me go without him.

LaToya: He has not a choice but to let you go. It's either go and come back refreshed or stay here and possibly die.

Suesie: I see your point.

LaToya rubbed my back and I looked past her.

LaToya: What?

Suesie: Will you help me down the stairs?

LaToya smiled and picked me up. My eyes widened as she began to carry me down the stairs.

LaToya: Damn, you got a fat ass.

Suesie: I'm not that fat.

LaToya: You're right..

Suesie: Thank you.

LaToya: You're thicker! No wonder why Michael is always touching you.

Suesie: Toya!

I said shaking my head.

LaToya: I'm going to go finish this dinner before badass gets home.

Suesie: But I love my badass.

LaToya: Because he wants that ass.

Suesie: You never quit.. And you didn't have to carry me down the stairs.

I said shaking my head.

LaToya: I never will and yes I did. Doctors orders.

I sighed.

Suesie: I hate not doing anything..

LaToya: You're sitting down..

Suesie: Quick question..

LaToya: What is it?

Suesie: What time is it?

LaToya: Time for you to get a watch.. No but seriously.. It's actually going four thirty seven.

My eyes widened.

Suesie: What the hell? Where is Michael?

LaToya: He called and said he had to work a double shift tonight and won't be back until eight.

I groaned.

Suesie: What am I going to do?

I said like a baby.

LaToya: You can live without your baby for a few more hours.. Ain't that what you wanted?

Suesie: I said I want to get away.

LaToya: Right.. And the difference is?

Suesie: Not him get away from me. We're still at home.

LaToya: Uh huh.. That make perfect sense.

Suesie: Shut up..

I laughed.

LaToya: Are you bipolar?

Suesie: What the hell? No!

LaToya: You just went from happy to sad to happy again and now you're upset.

I realized what she just said and was so upset that I started to cry but the thing is.. It wasn't me crying!

LaToya: Why are you crying now?

She said sitting beside me.

Suesie: I don't know.. It just happened.

I said between tears.

LaToya: I'm taking you to see a doctor right now.

LaToya said picking me up and carrying me to the car. I smiled once she set me down and she chuckled.

LaToya: You're such a big baby.

Suesie: I Love You Too.. What About dinner?

LaToya: Oh shit.. Oh well, it can wait.

Suesie: Don't burn my house down!

LaToya: I'm not, I'm going to simply turn off the stove and come back.

Suesie: Alright..

She did so but it took, what felt like forever until she came back.

LaToya: Let's go girly.

Suesie: Don't call me that.. Please.

LaToya pinched my nose and smiled as she started the car. We got there and it took the longest for my name to be called.. Even for LaToya.

Doctor: Ms. Braxton?

I sighed. When the hell are they going to get my name correct?

LaToya: You better go up to the place and change you medical information.

Suesie: Right..

LaToya wheeled me to the room and the first words to come out of my mouth were the most familiar words in the world.. Can you guess it?

Suesie: My name is Mrs. Jackson! Why don't they call me that? I'm married now..

I said looking at my ring at the last statement. The doctor looked at me bewildered and gave me a warm smile.

LaToya: Forgive my sister, she's expecting and this has been going on for the longest about the name game.

Suesie: Nothing is a game here..

I said crossing my arms.

Doctor: What's wrong Mrs. Jackson?

LaToya: Are you going to tell him, or am I?

Suesie: I will. Sir, I have been very moody and throwing up way more than is appropriate. I've been very sick and all over the place.

Doctor: I see. Would you like to have us run some tests and give the results back in a few weeks?

LaToya: That would be fine.

Suesie: Toya.. I have a mouth and a voice of my own. Please let me use it.

LaToya patted my shoulder gently and looked at the doctor. He smiled at her and she looked down at me.... What the..

LaToya: Well if that's all, we'll be going now.

Doctor: No ma'am, I need to give her a check up to see if her senses are doing well.

He checked me and wrote stuff down on his notepad.

Suesie: Is everything alright?

Doctor: Are you on bed rest?

LaToya: Yes she is.

Suesie: Tell me what's wrong.

Doctor: You have to stay in bed for a few weeks.

LaToya: I'll make sure of that.

Suesie: Will somebody please tell me what the hell is going on here?

They both looked at me and I sat up.

Suesie: What?

I said cluelessly.

Doctor: You may have a virus..

Suesie: Wha-. H-how? I have not been anywhere but here for the past week! Actually since my birthday..

Doctor: Do you live with anyone?

LaToya: I come every now and then to take care of her.

Suesie: And Michael works.

Doctor: Michael? Michael Jackson?

Suesie: Yes.. Why?

Doctor: I was his friend in the eighth grade! Pardon me dear but what is your name?

LaToya: I'm his sister and this is-.

Suesie: His wife. My name's Suzanne but people call me Suesie.

Doctor: I'm Jordan. Jordan Parker.

LaToya: Nice to meet you.

Suesie: Yes Mr. Parker, it is nice to meet one of my husbands' friends.

Parker: And it's a pleasure to meet his beautiful wife along with his sister..

LaToya: LaToya.

Mr. Parker smiled and nodded.

Parker: LaToya.

LaToya: Thank you for everything Jordan but.. We gotta go.

Suesie: Quick question before we leave.

Parker: Yes?

Suesie: What exactly is wrong with me?
