You can never decline Michael without a fight.. it's New Year's eve and I'm feeling like shit. So much has happened in these few weeks, it's not funny. Let me explain.. The next day, I stopped my cycle and I was feeling great. I woke up extra early and I ran some errands. I went to LaToya's house and I waited..

LaToya: Yeah?

Suesie: Good morning!

LaToya: Morning..

She said in a dull tone.

Suesie: What's wrong Toya?

LaToya: I'm tired..

Suesie: Oh.. Well, what time did you go to bed last night?

LaToya: Early..

Suesie: How early is early?

LaToya: I've gotta ask.. Why are you here at this time?

Suesie: To check on you. I.. Missed you.

LaToya: Do you realize that it's still dark outside?

Suesie: It was six when I got up.. Like I always do..

LaToya: Well now it's seven and I'm tired..

Suesie: I'm sorry..

LaToya sighed and opened the door.

LaToya: You may as well come in..

Suesie: Are you sure?

LaToya gave me a look and I quickly went inside. I sat down and LaToya started making something to eat. She brought Orange Juice and breakfast into the living room. I looked at her and she sat back with a sigh.

LaToya: I'm sorry.. It's just..

Suesie: What's wrong Toya?

LaToya: I did something a couple days ago and its been eating me up ever since then.

Suesie: What happened?

LaToya looked down and bit her lip.

LaToya: Janet & I had gotten into it because of her new boyfriend..

Suesie: She has a boyfriend?

LaToya: Yeah.. She told me all about him and then brought him over. He was every bit of irony.. He didn't look like a straight A student who dreamed of becoming a Lawyer, attended church every Sunday and loved Janet..

Suesie: What'd he look like?

LaToya: He looked like a cat who ran the streets and pushed dope.. Tattoos and all. What's worst is that he smelled like he'd been smoking..

Suesie: Oh my Lord..

LaToya: I pulled her to the side and told her how I felt about him and she got mad. She walked out and then I just got a phone call a few hours ago from her.. She was crying and saying that she's pregnant.

I wanted to cry. She could get pregnant by mistake but I couldn't get pregnant even if I tried. I was very worried about her and I'd do anything to save her.

Suesie: P-Pregnant?

LaToya: I can't believe it either.. Why J? Why?

Suesie: I can't even..

I started crying so hard at that point and then I looked at the food. I started eating.. It made me feel better. Not a minute passed by before my plate was clean. You know.. I've been eating a lot lately.

LaToya: Slow down Sue, before you choke!

Suesie: I can't.. Eating makes me feel better.

LaToya: Oh Lord..

Suesie: Where is she?

LaToya: I don't know.. I think she said she was in.. Connecticut.

Suesie: Oh no.. J.

I got up and started putting on my things.

LaToya: Where are you going?

Suesie: To pick up Janet.

I closed the door behind me and raced back home. I got the money that I had saved up and began to think.. How in the world am I going to get there? I decided to tell Michael something that I knew wouldn't twist his arm too bad.

Michael: Good morning baby.

Suesie: Morning Michael..

Michael: What are you doing?

Suesie: Oh, nothing much.. Just thought I'd kill time by counting money.

Michael eyed me but then shrugged.

Michael: Good for the brain, mathematically.

Suesie: Yeah.. Um.. Mike?

Michael instantly turned towards me and his face was barely a centimeter from mine.

Michael: Yes love?

He said in that low seducing tone.

Suesie: Um.. What if I had to go somewhere?

Michael: I'd go with you.

Suesie: Without you..

Michael: Suzanne.. What's going on?

Suesie: Well.. Remember those tick-.. Of course! The tickets!

Michael: What? What's going on?

Suesie: Are you free this week?

Michael: No.. But we can make time.. Why?

Suesie: I wanted to go to Connecticut and go to Soul Train's next show.

Michael: Oh.. Baby.. You see.

Suesie: If you can't come, it's fine.

Please say no..

Michael: Well um..

Please, please, PLEASE don't come!

Suesie: Really Mike.. It's fine if you can't come.

Michael: I'll see what I can do.

Shit.. That means yes..

Suesie: Oh okay..

I said as I plastered a fake smile on my lips.

Michael: What's wrong babe?

Suesie: Nothing's wrong. Why do you ask that?

Michael: That's not your smile.. I know your smile.

Suesie: Michael, nothing's wrong. I'm fine, see?

I smiled again and Michael eyed me. Michael then held me by my shoulders and looked at me with his lustful eyes.

Michael: Suzanne.. Baby please tell me what's going on.

I couldn't resist.. Michael got closer to my ear and lightly brushed it as he whispered something to me.

Michael: Tell me..

At this point, he knew that I was vulnerable and he knew what I wanted. He knew I was willing to tell him anything for what I wanted.

Michael: Suzanne..

He's the master at seduction. I bit my lip to keep my mouth shut.

Michael: I'm giving you until I count to five.. One.. Two.. Th-..

I moaned after two because he was kissing my neck.

Suesie: Alright..

Michael looked at me with a serious look.

Suesie: If I tell you.. Promise me..

I gave Michael a look and he nodded as he licked his lips.

Michael: I'm listening.

Suesie: LaToya said that Janet has a boyfriend and they ran off to Connecticut.. But now, she might be pregnant and she's alone. I was going to get her.

Michael fell into a rage and his passion was gone..

Michael: Alone? Woman are you crazy? What's wrong with you? Why did you try and hide this from me?

Suesie: Stop yelling at me, because first off, what was the first thing I said to you? I said that I wanted to go to the Soul Train performance this week! Now did I, or did I not say that to you?

Michael sighed and nodded. Now he got me mad and pumped up.

Suesie: Now calm your ass down.

I tried to storm off but I was immediately held back and I couldn't get out of the grip.

Michael: Don't say that to me..

Michael said lowly in a threatening voice.

Suesie: I will hurt you if you don't let me go.

Michael: Not before I hurt you.

My eyes widened. Michael had never threatened me like that before.. I knew I was mad and he was upset.. But this? Why'd I do that to him?

Suesie: How are you going to hurt me?

Michael's hand traveled down the front of my shirt and then went under it. He stopped at my stomach. I should have known..

Michael: There ain't nothing you can do to stop me either..

I couldn't speak. I didn't know what to say. I expected a different reaction from him. I hope this ain't what I think it is..

Michael: I'll race you upstairs..

Suesie: Michael.. Janet needs us. Why are you-?

Michael shushed me. I guess he didn't want to hear it.

Michael: You talk too much.. Just go upstairs so we can talk about it.

Suesie: Mike..

His grip slightly tightened and I shut up.

Michael: Come on baby..

I didn't dare argue. My mother had to deal with this too. I'm just doing what she did. I was picked up and carried up the stairs. Michael laid me down and just began to cuddle with me. He lifted my stomach so it exposed my stomach and then began to smile after a while.

Suesie: What are you smiling about?

I said as I played with his hair.

Michael: Daddy loves you.

He said just before he kissed my stomach.

Suesie: Michael I'm not-.

Michael shushed me again and continued to kiss my stomach. I loved this image.. I'd love it more if my stomach was bigger.. Michael looked up at me slightly then saw my smile. He winked and then the heat came on.. I was asleep on his chest hours later as he stroked my hair. Michael smiled down at me and whispered something into the atmosphere..

Michael: Baby..

I heard him, but I was too tired to move or even open my eyes. I wondered about what he meant.. Then I fell asleep again.

-~-~-~Michael~-~-~-

Michael looked down at Suzanne and he knew what he had done. He knew it was time to stop worrying about other people and just worry about his baby.. Suzanne. Michael whispered the word 'baby' into the atmosphere and he knew why.. He understood that Janet nor Suzanne would ever forgive him for what he just did, but he knew that Janet had to learn. She was almost an adult after all.. in Janet's mind.

Janet was always talking about being treated like a child, how she's almost an adult and how she wants space. Now she's got it. Michael figured that Janet would figure the world out anyway. He was worried, but it was about time that she learned. After all.. She's 17.

Michael carefully crept out of bed and quietly got into the shower. He got dressed and made his way down the stairs. Michael was enjoying a cup of tea when the phone rang. He raced to get it before Suzanne woke up to the ruckus.

Michael: This is Jackson residence. Michael Jackson speaking.... What? How did you get my number?.. Don't ever call me again!

Michael slammed down the receiver down and then sighed.

Michael: God, why? Why me? How did-..

Michael was disturbed by a soft moan and a creak in the wooden floors. Michael's head shot up and nobody was there. Michael crept up the stairs and opened the door slightly. Suzanne was stirring and then stopped suddenly. She was looking dead at Michael as her arm fell out of the bed and hung over the edge.

Suesie: Michael..

She lightly moaned, half asleep. Michael shushed her and blew her a kiss.

Michael: Go back to sleep baby.

Suzanne smiled and rolled over. Her jet black hair getting in her face as she did so made Michael smile. Michael closed the door and slid down it.. Questions swarmed his mind.

How did they get my number?

Why now?

Of all times?

What if Suzanne finds out?

Michael sighed.

If she does find out, what will I tell her?
