Michael's POV

The past two and a half weeks have been.......different, to say the least Me and Shayne haven't broken up but there's not the same love and affection there was before the argument

I'm a little worried about her, though She's been really sick lately and everytime I ask her what's wrong, she says she's "stressed out" Hopefully, we'll make up before the tour starts

Julie: Michael.?

(I turned around in my chair. I was sitting in my office and Julie had walked in.)

Michael: Hmmm.?

Julie: I just wanted to remind you that you have a wardrobe meeting tomorrow morning

Michael:(Nods) I remembered Thanks, though

(I turned back around so that my back was to her. Julie walked over to me and stood in front of me.)

Julie: So, you aren't going to apologize to her.?

Michael: I didn't do anything to apologize for.! All I want is to have children That's all I've ever wanted

Julie: And I know that better than anyone but what you're not understanding is that Shayne is scared

Michael: Scared.? Scared of what.?

Julie: She doesn't want the press saying anything about the baby because she knows that you will go crazy

Michael: I would not go crazy

(Julie cocked her head to the side and looked at me. I sighed.)

Michael: Ok I would but I would have a good reason

Julie: You need to go and talk this out with her.........Now.!

Michael: She probably won't even talk to me..... You know how stubborn she is

Julie: You know, to be the biggest entertainer in the world, you are such a punk

Michael:(Groans and stands up) Fine.! I'm going.! You happy now.?

Julie:(Smiles) Yep I'm going to Bush's house for a while See you later

(She walked out of my office. I sighed and walked downstairs to the living room. Shay was sitting on the couch by the big window. She was reading a magazine. I walked into the doorway and leaned on it.)

Michael:(Softly) Hey

(She looked up and smiled slightly.)

Shayne: Hey

(She looked back down and continued to read.)

Michael: What you doing.?

(She looked up again.)

Shayne: Nothing Just (Holds up magazine) Reading a magazine

(She continued to read. I stood there akwardly and stared at her. She threw the magazine down and looked at me.)

Shayne: What do you want, Michael.?

Michael: I just wanna talk to you

Shayne: Yeah well, I don't wanna talk to you

(She got up and was about to walk past me but I grabbed her arm.)

Michael: Please I'm trying to make this right

Shayne: Let me go.!

(She pulled away from me and continued to walk away. I followed her.)

Michael: Talk to me Tell me why you're so mad at me

Shayne: If you don't know why I'm mad, then you need to figure it out.!

Michael: I'm trying but you don't wanna talk to me, remember.?

(She stopped in her tracks and glared at me.)

Shayne: Now is not the time for your bullshit ass sarcasm

(She turned around and continued storming away. I jogged and caught up to her.)

Michael: Ok I'm sorry, I'm sorry but you need to tell me why you're so upset

(By this time, we had walked into the kitchen. She leaned against the counter and crossed her arms over her chest.)

Shayne: You really wanna know.?

Michael: Yes tell me

Shayne: I'm mad because you accused me of not wanting to have kids with you

(I widened my eyes.)

Michael: I said that.?

Shayne: Yeah......You don't remember.?

Michael: No I guess I was so upset that I blacked out

Shayne: Well, yeah That's what you said

Michael: Shay, I'm sorry I was wrong to say that to you

(I tried to wrap my arms around her but she pushed me away.)

Shayne: No.! Do you realize how much you hurt my feelings by saying that.?

Michael: Shay, I know-

Shayne: Let me finish.!

(I stepped back surprised by her tone of voice.)

Michael: Good ahead

Shayne: Michael, I know how much you want kids and I would never try to take that away from you I'm just........ scared baby

Michael: Why.? What are you scared of.?

Shayne: I'm scared that I'm going to be left alone with the baby while you're out living your life,....... I'm scared of what the press is gonna do and say....... It's a lot that I'm scared of

Michael: Baby......

Shayne: I really do wanna have kids with you but...

(Just then, she busted out crying. I walked up to her and slowly wrapped my arms around her. I lifted her up and set her on the counter. She buried her face in my neck.)

Michael: Ssh It's OK to be scared baby girl

Shayne:(Crying) But I feel like I'm letting you down

Michael: No, your not If your not ready, we can wait

Shayne:(Sniffles and looks up at me.) Won't you be sad though.?

Michael: Well,......I do want kids now but if you wanna wait, we'll wait because I love you too much to lose you

Shayne: Aww but you couldn't lose me even if you tried

Michael: Good cause I would never try to

Shayne:(Smiles) I love you

Michael: I love you too baby girl

(She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me passionately. We pulled away and hugged tightly.)

Shayne: Michael.? I have a idea

Michael: Yeah.?

Shayne: Maybe we should get some practice in..... Just for when we're ready

Michael: Are you saying what I think you're saying.?

(She bit her lip and nodded at me.)

Michael: I think that's a great idea

(She laughed as I picked her up and carried her upstairs.)
