Shayne's POV

After two long days in the hospital, we finally got discharged from the hospital Prince has been doing great and you can already tell that he's gonna be an easy baby to handle I sat down on the bed and watched Michael pack our stuff up

Michael: How you feeling Shay?

Shayne: Great, now that our little Prince is here

(Michael smiled and walked over to me. He grabbed my hands and held them in his.)

Michael: I just wanna tell you thank you

Shayne:(Raises eyebrow) For what?

Michael: For giving me something I've always wanted: A child

Shayne:(Smiles) Your welcome Michael

(He looked into my eyes and he looked like he wanted to kiss me. I kinda wanted to kiss him too. He began to lean down until Prince started crying. Michael stood up straight and walked over to him. I ran a hand through my hair and followed him. Michael picked him up and started to rock him softly.)

Michael: Aw, are mommy and daddy not paying you enough attention?

(He made a little squeal.)

Michael:(Laughs) I'll take that as a yes

(He set him down in the car seat and strapped him in. I put my jacket on and grabbed the bag. As soon as I put it on my shoulder, Michael took it off.)

Michael: You don't have to do anything Ive got this

Shayne: You got the bags and the car seat?

Michael: Yeah

Shayne: Alright

(I put a blanket over Prince's car seat so he wouldn't be seen by any photographers. Michael picked up the car seat and we walked out of the room and to the elevator. We got in and I pushed the "lobby" button. After a few seconds, we reached the lobby and stepped out. Julie met us halfway.)

Julie: You guys ready?

Michael: Yep You got extra security out there, right?

Julie: Yeah The fans are behind a metal fence anyways

(Michael's fans had been camping out outside the hospital every since we announced Prince's birth yesterday. We've also gotten a bunch of cards, teddy bears, and stuff like that. We walked outside and the fans went wild. You could probably be able to hear the screaming miles away.

We got in the truck and pulled off. Julie was driving and Michael was in the passenger seat next to her. I was sitting in the backseat, and Prince was next to me in his car seat. He was drifting off to sleep.)

Michael: How's he doing back there?

Shayne:(Laughs) He's fine Michael

Michael: Just checking

(30 minutes later, Julie pulled into the driveway of Neverland. She stopped in front of the house and we got out. Julie carried the bags and Michael grabbed Prince. When we got in the house, we all went upstairs to the nursery. Michael set the car seat down and got Prince out.)

Julie: Can I hold him now?

Michael: Yeah Sit down

(She put the bags down and sat down in my rocking chair. Michael went over to her and set Prince in her arms.)

Shayne: Watch his head

(She nodded and adjusted her arm to support his head better.)

Julie: Aww, he's absolutely adorable Y'all make some pretty babies

(We laughed. Michael started to unpack all of our stuff and I stood next to Julie. After a while, I noticed that Prince was smacking his lips together.)

Shayne:(Looks at time) Aw, its time for me to feed him

Julie: Alright

(She stood up and handed him to me. I sat down in the chair and looked at Michael.)

Shayne: Mike, can you hand me a bottle?

Michael:(Nods) Sure

(There was a small refrigerator in the room that was already stocked with bottles. He grabbed one and walked over to me. He tested it and then handed it to me. I stuck it in Prince's mouth and he started eating. Michael got on his knees next to the chair.)

Michael: He's so precious

Shayne: I know right? I love him so much already

(Me and Michael continued to watch him until he finished eating. I put a towel over my shoulder, laid him on my shoulder, and started burping him.)

Michael: Shay, when you get done, I want you to go get some sleep

(I was about to say something but he stopped me.)

Michael: I know you're tired cause you didn't get much sleep at the hospital You just gave birth You gotta take it easy

(I wanted to argue with him but I decided that now wasn't the time so I just nodded. After Prince burped, I stood up and handed him to Michael.)

Shayne: You gonna put him down?

Michael:(Nods) Yep

Shayne: Ok (Kisses Prince's forehead) Good night my baby

(I walked through the passageway to our bedroom. I got in the bed and I wasn't even laying there for 5 minutes before I was asleep.)

3 Hours Later 5:19pm

I woke up to the sounds of the baby crying I got up and walked down the passageway I was about to walk in the room but I saw Michael was already in there It looked like he was trying to change him

Michael: Alright now Prince You gotta be patient with daddy He's never done anything like this

(He grabbed a diaper and attempted to put it on him. When he was finished, Prince's but was half covered. I laughed out loud and Michael turned around.)

Michael:(Pouts) Hey, Im trying

Shayne:(Giggles) Here, let me help you

(I walked over to them and took off the diaper he had on. I grabbed a new one and showed Michael how to put it on step by step.)

Shayne: That's better, isn't it?

(I picked him up and he snuggled into me.)

Shayne: Did he eat again?

Michael: Yeah I just fed him

(I looked down at him and he was falling asleep. I went over to his crib and laid him down. I was about to walk out of the room when Michael grabbed my arm.)

Michael: Are you really gonna avoid me like this?

Shayne: Im not avoiding you

Michael: Then what do you call it? Cause you haven't said two words to me unless its about Prince

Shayne: What do you wanna talk about Michael?

Michael: I wanna talk about how we can try to make this work

Shayne:(Sighs) Come on

(He followed me through the passageway into our room.)

Shayne: Go ahead, talk

Michael: Ok Now, I know I was wrong for cheating on you...

Shayne: Dead fucking wrong

Michael: I know, but it was a bad mistake and I wish I could take it back but I can't

Shayne:(Sighs) I can't do this

Michael:(Worried) What?

Shayne: This, us, me and you You fucking broke my heart and Im not dealing with it this time

Michael: Shay, you know I love you and I know you love me too

Shayne: Yeah I do love you but obviously more than you love me

Michael: What about counseling?

Shayne: I dont know...

Michael: Please Shay If that doesn't work, we can go our seperate ways

(I thought about it. Hell, if a therapist can't help us, then we can really say we tried everything.)

Shayne: Alrigth fine

Michael:(Kisses her hand) Thank you
