Shayne's POV

Me and Michael just got off a flight from LA to Hartford and now, I'm driving us to my parents house

Shayne: How you doing over there.?

Michael: I'm scared as heck

Shayne:(Laughs) Don't be My mom is cool as hell My dad can be...... a little tough at first but he'll warm up to you

Michael: And your sisters.?

Shayne: Michael, you'll be fine.! I know that their gonna love you just as much as I do

Michael: Thanks babe

(He took one of my hands of the steering wheel and kissed it. 10 minutes later, we pulled in the driveway. We got out, grabbed our bags, and walked onto the porch.)

Shayne: Remember, just be cool and be yourself, alright.?

Michael:(Nods) Ok

(I opened the door with my key and we walked in. We set our bags down by the door when I heard my mom and one of my sister's voices coming from the kitchen.

I motioned for Michael to follow me and we walked into the kitchen. My mom and sister, Sage, had their backs turned and were focusing on a bowl of something.)

Shayne: Guess who's home.?

(They both turned around and screamed. They ran up to me and buried me in a group hug. I pulled away and looked at them. They both still look the same, except my sister had gotten taller.)

Miranda: My baby's home.! I missed you so much.!

(She pulled me into another hug.)

Shayne: I missed you too mommy.!

(She let me go and I turned to my sister.)

Shayne: Can I have another hug or are you too old for that now.?

Sage: Shut up and come here.!

(She laughed and hugged me tight.)

Shayne: You've gotten taller.!

Sage: Well, I am about to be 15, you know.?

Miranda: Don't remind us.! I'm getting old.!

(We laughed when I felt a hand on my waist. I looked up and saw Michael.)

Shayne: I'm sorry Mom, Sage, this is my boyfriend, Michael Michael, this is my mom, Miranda and my baby sister, Sage

(Michael smiled and hugged each of them.)

Michael: Nice to meet you two

Sage: Hi

Miranda: So, this is the Michael that's been keeping my daughter so busy

Michael:(Blushes) I'm sorry Im kinda selfish when it comes to her

Miranda: Oh, that wasn't a complaint.! Keep her as long as you want.!

Michael:(Looks at me) I think I'll take you up on that

(I blushed and grabbed his hand.)

Shayne: Me and Michael are gonna go and unpack, OK.?

Miranda: Alright honey

(We grabbed our bags and I led him upstairs to my room. We sat our stuff on my bed and started to unpack.)

Michael: Don't you have a twin.?

Shayne: Yeah But Scarlet and David are always late

Michael: David.?

Shayne: Scarlet's husband They've been married for 2 years

Michael: Oh ok

(After 45 minutes, we were finally done. Me and Michael went back downstairs and to the kitchen, where my mom was cooking dinner and Sage was sitting at the counter.)

Shayne: That smells good Mom

Sage: Yeah too bad she won't let us eat until Scar and David get here

Shayne:(Whines) Mom.! You know their always late.!

Miranda: I know but we don't eat until the whole family is here.!

Shayne: God.!

(I sat next to Sage and she tapped my shoulder.)

Shayne: What's up.?

Sage: Could you do a waterfall braid in my hair for me.? Mom doesn't do it like you do

Shayne:(Smiles) Sure Go get the stuff

(She jumped up and ran upstairs.)

Miranda: Michael.?

Michael: Yes ma'am.?

Miranda: How handy are you in kitchen.?

Michael: Well, I do pretty good, if I do say so myself

Miranda: How about you come and help me with the spaghetti.?

(Michael looked at me for confirmation. I smiled and nodded and he turned back to my mom.)

Michael: Sure

(He got up and went on the other side of the counter. I smiled and watched as him and my mom got lost in the food. Sage came back down with the comb, brush, and rubber bands. I sat at the counter on a stool while she sat on the floor.

20 minutes later, while I was finishing up her hair, I heard the front door open. My dad, David, and Scarlet walked into the kitchen. I jumped up and attacked Scarlet with a hug.)

Scarlet:(Laughs) I guess someone missed me

Shayne: Of course I've missed my partner in crime.!

(We pulled away and I looked at my dad.)

Shayne: Hi daddy

Shawn: Hi baby girl

(He hugged me.)

Shawn: How's that new job going.?

Shayne: It's pretty good Thank you

(I felt someone wrap their arm around my shoulder.)

David: No hi or hug for your favorite brother in law.?

Shayne: Your my only brother in law I have no choice

(He took his arm from around me and held his chest.)

David: That hurt, you know.?

(I slapped his arm and we laughed.)

Shayne: Come on then

(He grabbed me and hugged me. I  smiled and looked Scarlet, who was looking at Michael like he had two heads.)

Scarlet: Mommy.?

Miranda: Yes Scar.?

Scarlet: What is Michael Jackson doing in our house.?

Sage:(Smirks) Ask Shayne

(David, Scar, and my dad all looked at me. I giggled and walked over to Michael. He wrapped his arm around my neck and I wrapped mine around his waist.)

Shayne: Daddy, David, Scar, this is Michael...... my boyfriend

(I think I saw all three of their jaws drop. Michael chuckled and walked over to them. He hugged Scar and shook David and Dad's hands.)

Michael: Nice to meet you guys

Shawn: You too son We've heard a lot about you

Scarlet:(Scoffs) I haven't.!

David: Yeah You kept us in the dark

Shayne: Guys, it wasn't on-

Miranda: Dinner's ready.!

Sage: Yes.!

(She ran out of the room, followed by my dad, and David. Michael came back over to me, grabbed my hand, and we started to the dining room when my mom stopped us.)

Miranda: Shayne, could you help me and Scar with the food, please.?

(I sighed and nodded. I turned to Michael.)

Shayne:(Whispers) You go ahead

Michael: Alright

(He leaned down and kissed my cheek. I flashed him a smile and he walked into the dining room. I walked over to the sink and washed my hands.)

Scarlet: So, you and Michael Jackson.? How'd that happen.?

Shayne: I was hired by his assistant to be his personal photographer

Miranda: How long have you guys been dating.?

Shayne: For 4 months, since August

(My mom grabbed the spaghetti, I grabbed the salad, and Scar grabbed the bread sticks and Parmesan. We walked into the dining room and set the food on the table. Sage and David cheered.)

Sage: Food.!

David: Yes.! Your daughter starves me at home, you know.?

(We laughed and joined hands to say Grace.)

Shawn: Thank you lord for this meal we are about to eat Thank you for letting us see another holiday season Thank you for getting my two girls home safely, along with David and Michael In Jesus name, Amen

Everyone: Amen.!

(We let go hands and started to pass the food around.)

Shawn: So, Michael, how old are you.?

Michael: 29

Scarlet: About to be the dirty 30.!

Michael:(Smiles) Yeah

David: What do you do.?

(We all looked at him like he was crazy.)

David: Hey, as your brother, I'm required to ask these questions.!

Michael: I'm an singer, dancer, producer, songwriter, and director

Sage: Multi-talented....I like it

Miranda: Where do you live.?

Shayne: What is this.? A job interview.?

(Everyone laughed lightly. Michael grabbed my thigh underneath the table.)

Michael: No, I don't mind

Scarlet: See, he doesn't mind Shayne Morgan

Shayne: That doesn't make it right Scarlet Micah

Miranda: Hey, don't start you two

Shayne: Fine.!

( For the next 30 minutes, I suffered through dinner with my family asking Michael hundreds of questions. When everyone was finished, me and Scarlet went into the kitchen and started on the dishes.)

Scarlet: Soooooo......

Shayne: What, Scar.?

Scarlet: Have you and Michael..... you know....

Shayne: You have no filter, huh.?

Scarlet: Just like my big sister

Shayne:(Laughs) Well, if you must know, yes, we have

Scarlet: Well, I hoped you guys used a condom

Shayne:(Scoffs) Not that it's any of your business, but no we don't use them

Scarlet: Shayne.! You know how mommy and daddy feel about having a baby before your married.!

Shayne: I don't really care about how mom and dad feel If I happen to get pregnant, then oh well and besides, I would love to have Michael's baby

Scarlet: Alright It's your life

(I rolled my eyes and we finished the dishes. We walked into the living room and saw everyone decorating the tree. Michael and my Sage were stringing popcorn.)

Shawn: Shayne.! Why don't you come help me with the ornaments.?

Shayne:(Shakes head) I'm not feeling so well I'm gonna just go to my room

(I walked up the stairs and went into my room, locking the door behind me.)

Michael's POV

When Shayne said that she wasn't feeling well, I knew something was up After she went upstairs, I decided to go check on her I set down the string of popcorn that I was holding and stood

Sage: Michael, where are you going.?

Michael: I'm gonna go check on Shayne, OK.?

(Sage nodded and I walked upstairs. I walked to what I hoped was Shayne's room and tried to open the door but it was locked. I sighed and knocked on the door.)

Shayne: Go away.!

Michael:(Sighs) Shay, it's me, applehead

(I heard some shuffling behind the door and she opened it, giggling.)

Shayne: Your so silly, you know that.?

(I walked in and closed the door behind me.)

Michael: I've been told once or twice

(We laughed and Shayne laid on the bed. I got on and sat next to her.)

Michael: So, what's up with you.? And don't lie and say you don't feel good

Shayne: Me and Scar just had an..... akward conversation and it just kinda annoyed me but I'm fine

Michael: You sure.?

Shayne: Yeah Thank you for coming to check on me

Michael: Your welcome

(I put my hand on her leg and rubbed it slowly.)

Shayne: What was all that at dinner.?

Michael: What.?

Shayne: You were feeling all over me underneath the table

Michael:(Raises eyebrow) I was.? I don't remember this

(She pinched my hand that was on her leg. I hissed and pulled my hand away.)

Michael: What was that for.?

Shayne: For lying..... and turning me on

Michael: I thought you liked it when I turned you on

Shayne: Yeah but not around my family Now, I want you

Michael:(Whispers) Who said you can't have me.?

(I got on top of her and looked in her eyes.)

Shayne: Michael.! My family is downstairs.!

Michael:(Kissing her neck) I'm aware of that

Shayne: OK I'm adventurous but I am not having sex with you in my parents house WHILE their home

Michael:(Smirks) So, would it be a different story if they were gone.?

Shayne:(Laughs) OK Get the hell off me.!

(I laughed and laid next to her. I looked at her and saw that her eyes were droopy and she yawned.)

Michael: Sleepy.?

Shayne: Mmhmm

(She cuddled up to me and laid her head on my chest.)

Shayne: I love you

Michael: Love you too baby girl

(She smiled and drifted off to sleep on my chest. I looked down at her and smiled. This girl is everything I've ever wanted.......and more.!)
