No Michael, No Tears

I woke up crying because of my dream. It was about Michael and Lisa.. What if he's with her right now? What if he wants a divorce? What will say to our child then? How will I tell her that her father doesn't love her mother? Or him.. When I say 'or him', I mean the baby could be a boy or girl. But I really want a girl.. Anyways.. The dream was about them being together and doing everything that we used to do.. I saw them laughing, having fun, him taking her places, and them being in love. Some things he did that I never got do with him. My mother walked into the room with ice cream, fruit snacks, and a movie. She set them next to me and rubbed my back.

Mother: Remember how you got over your first boyfriend?

I nodded and sniffled.

Suesie: Yes..

Mother: This is to ease your pain.

Suesie: Thank you..

I said as she dried my eyes. She put in the movie and we watched it together. It was one of my all time favorite movies too! 'The Dark Crystal'. Then we watched episodes of 'The Proud Family', 'Brandy & Mr. Whiskers', and 'Boomerang' to make me smile. I laughed a lot and mother made sure it stayed that way. Father came in and joined us after a while. He sat right next to me and kissed my cheek. By the time the shows were finished, I was beginning to dose off again but yet, I was hungry.

Suesie: Mother, will you make dinner please?

Mother: Dinner? It's only four twelve!

I pouted.

Suesie: I know mother but I missed your cooking..

She smiled and nodded.

Mother: Alright sweetheart.

She kissed my forehead and then left. Father grinned at me.

Suesie: What?

Father: You still never lost your touch.

I laughed lightly. Father held me close and I rested my head onto his shoulder.

Father: I remember when I met your mother.. Oh you should have seen her.. She a beauty just like you and was absolutely wonderful in every way imaginable.

I smiled and began to think about the day that Michael & I met. A funny day, it was. Michael constantly trying to get my attention. Telling me to look into his eyes.. Me falling asleep on him. His gentlemanly ways and the first time we made love. Oh what beautiful times. My nose started to burn and I snapped myself out of it before I started to cry. No Michael, No tears.

Suesie: But don't you think she's still just as beautiful?

Father: No.

Suesie: Why not?

Father: Because she becomes even more beautiful everyday. The first time I saw her, it was her looks. But now, it's her personality. You should know that.. Especially since you're married now.

My eyes widened.. How did he know that?

Suesie: H-how did you-?

Father: You both thought I was asleep but I was only half sleep. Smartly pants.

He said cutting me off and pinching my cheek.

Suesie: What do you think about it?

Father: I think it's a wonderful idea and I hope to see that baby soon.

I let out a stiffled laugh because I started to cry too as I pulled him into a hug.

Suesie: Father.. I am happy.. I am just so happy right now.

Father: I know princess.. I know.

He said kissing my head. I started to get sleepy and eventually went to sleep. I woke up when Mother came back in and I became overjoyed at the sight of the food she had made. I clapped my hands and bounced.

Suesie: Yay! Thank you mother!

Father laughed and shook his head.

Father: You are acting like a big baby.

I stuck my tongue out at him and started eating after I prayed. My day was heaven whenever my parents were around.

Mother: Sweetheart, I don't want to hurt your feelings but.. We'd like to know everything about that cheater of yours.

I stopped eating and sat up slowly. I looked forward and spoke softly.

Suesie: What would you like to know?

Father: Everything you feel comfortable telling us.

I looked down and sighed. I began to think back.. Way back to the day that we met. I heard Father saying something but I was too focused on remembering everything.

Suesie: Well.. Michael & I met at Princeton and he instantly charmed me but I refused to let it show.. What a fail that was..

I gave a small giggle thinking back to my failure. It was all so clear. The white suit, what I was wearing.. His eyes..

Suesie: What had me was that his father was the principal of our school and his eyes.. You should have seen them. The deepest brown that could captivate you from a mile away. Brown as rich dirt. No no.. Chocolate. Yes, two little chocolate beauties had me at first glance. He kept begging me to look into his eyes but I said no for the longest. I finally said yes after a while and then, I couldn't stop looking. Oh what angelic eyes he had.

I just knew I was blushing and Mother was gushing over this story. I smiled and moved around a lot.

Suesie: I almost ran into a wall and Michael saw me. He laughed about it and I started to get sleepy so we rested on the floor with my back against the wall. I woke up on him and I don't remember much after that but only that I was rude to him. I met his sister LaToya the next day and we became good friends. I met the psychopath and thought he was my friend but he wasn't.. Long story short, he almost killed me later on but he did kill my baby.. I became barren and in a comma for a while. When I woke up, I stayed in the hospital for a little while longer and then Michael came to pick me up. He took me on a long drive and we ended up in front of a wedding chapel. He proposed to me there and we were married that same day. It was a very small wedding. Nothing really special about it until that night.. Well.. There's no need for me to tell you what happened. Michael and I have been married for a few months now. We just recently got pregnant after trying for a long time. He constantly reminds me of how beautiful I am and how he can't wait to see the baby. Actually he says he can't wait to be a father.. Now his words mean nothing to me. Not an 'Baby I'm sorry.' 'Baby I love you.' or even 'Baby I can't wait for our future and what is soon to come.' He's referring to the baby when he says that. What I say is this, If you really loved me then all of you would be only mine just like me. I am yours. All of me.. But can he keep his vows to be true? Huh Mother? Well I'll tell you the answer to that. Hell no..

Father: Suzanne!

I looked at my Father and sighed.

Suesie: I'm sorry..

Mother: Sweetie, you better finish eating before that food gets cold. Thank you for telling us and get some rest, okay?

Suesie: Okay..

Mother: Goodnight dear.

I smiled, said my prayers and went to bed.
