Michael and I released our first single from Invincible "You Rock My World" and it began topping charts worldwide. The music world began buzzing again when the "King and Queen" made their comeback. We were both so excited about our record numbers we decided to create a short film for it.

I stood beside the bar in my green dress with my back exposed watching as Michael sang smoothly, walking towards me. He gently takes my hand away from my cohost and pulls me in front of him, lightly tapping my behind and catching me by surprise. I turn around and give him a slight smirk as I walk off, leaning my back against a wall. Michael moves his body closer as our eyes meet under the brim of his hat, we both had to remember this was a video shoot but our tension was strong and I think everyone felt it. "Cut!" The director called out. Michael breaks our eye contact, fixing his jacket. I dust off my dress and give a smile as I walk towards my chair and sit down. "It's going pretty well, don't you think?" Michael says into my ear, his hands resting on my shoulders. "Yeah! This is gonna be great." I respond. I cross my legs and pull down my dress over my knee as Michael sits next to me. "Every thing ok?" He asks. I nod, but I was lying. Every thing was not okay. Brian and I had not seen each other for weeks, he was pissed at me. The only time we spoke to each other was about Angel. I was practically single. Once I get depressed I bury myself into my work, so this video was very therapeutic.

We get to the final scene of our short film. "Action." The director calls. Michael and I pull each other into a long embrace that seemed almost natural. "No, no, no. This scene entails a kiss...can you guys do that?" The director asks. "If Jayla is comfortable with that, I'm fine with it." Michael responds. He's just being nice, he knows he wants to kiss me. I giggle slightly "I'm fine with it." Michael bites his lip as the director screams "action" again. Michael and I grab each other's faces and lock our lips onto each other as flames flicker behind us, only to have Chris Tucker interrupt us with his car. Once the scene was over we all clapped in success. The video was done.

"Michael stop!" I scream in laughter. "You gotta say uncle" he laughs back. "I refuse!" Michael continues to keep me pinned on the ground tickling my sides. I manage to get my arms free and begin tickling him back. "NO!" He screams, his infectious laughter filling my home's hallway. Finally, a moment of weakness from Michael. I roll on top of him pinning him down still tickling his stomach. "I give! I give!" He laughs "no no no, that's not the words!" I respond. "Aunt Jay..what are you doing to daddy?" Prince stumbles out of Angel's room, he was about 4 and cute as a button. I smile at Prince and stop tickling Michael. "Daddy and I are just playing around" I explain. His face seemed to relax from worry as we watch him run back to the room. "He's always worried about you." I smile watching him climb the steps. "I know, it's hard to believe he's 4 already." Michael responds, slowly lifting up to sit with me still on his lap. He wraps his arms around my back, while I play in his hair. "I like your short hair. But long hair suits you better." "I'll make you a deal, I'll grow out my hair if you and I get back together." He says softly. I giggle, cocking my head to the side. "Really? I don't think the promise of longer hair is going to convince me.." "Jay be honest with yourself, who have you been happiest with? Brian or me?" He says. I couldn't lie, my happiest moments were with Michael. When things happen, he's who I run to. Brian made it clear he wanted nothing to do with me. I've struggled with love for so long, when I'm sitting here staring love in the face on my living room floor. I give Michael a kiss on the lips and smile. "I'm willing to try this again.." He gives me tight hug. "I promise I won't mess this up again." I smile again and press my forehead to his lips. "Do you remember the time when we fell in love? Do you remem-" he sings goofily. We both laugh loudly at his corniness.

I head to Angel's room to find Paris and Prince sleeping on the floor and Angel cooing in her crib. Michael picks up Prince and Paris and takes them to lay in a guest room. I sit with Angel singing her lullaby to her, while she drinks from her bottle. My daughter has me wrapped around her finger. When I look at her everything stops. I sat with her, serenading her to sleep.

"Moon shines down on this good evening. One warm kiss in the cold night air.." Michael sings softly, stroking my hair. I snuggle closer to his chest. He pulls my arm further around his waist, bringing his arm closer while continuing the song. "...and maybe the walls will tumble, and the sun may refuse to shine. But, when I say I love you. Jay Jay you've gotta know that's for all time.." My eyes slowly shut with the sound of Michael's voice echoing those familiar sweet words through my ears. We were back together and I was content with that.

The next morning Michael sent Prince and Paris to Grace back in Neverland. "That sounds phenomenal David...yeah of course... No I'm sure she'd love to but I'll ask her. Thank you!" I hear Michael say inside the kitchen. "What was that about?" I ask, grabbing a plate my chef prepared. "That was Liza's husband David Guest, and he had this phenomenal idea to celebrate the 30th anniversary of my career with a tribute event. Then you and I can perform at the end for album promotion." He says excitedly. "Wow, 30 years. That's a long time Mike. You're like, a legend" I giggle, taking a drink of orange juice. "Of course I'll do it" I smile. He pecks the side of my forehead "this is why I'm obsessed with you." I laugh at his statement, shaking my head. "That's unhealthy" I respond. "It's the truth!" He yells while walking towards the bathroom. I sat on the kitchen stool figuring out how I felt. I smile at my thoughts of last night and how he sang to me, I missed our relationship. This couldn't make me any happier.

Once again we were swarmed by paparazzi. No one knew we were back together so when it hit the blogs and tabloids, it hit hard. "Wacko Jacko & Jayla Pearson reunited in love triangle! Rumors swirl over Jayla's pregnancy with Jacko's love child. Is this what fueled Brian & Jayla's fierce break up?" I roll my eyes at the article in front of me and toss the tabloid to the side. "Wacko Jacko. I still don't know where they got that one from." Michael says turning knobs in the studio. I kiss Angel and place her in my mothers arms so I can go inside the booth and prepare my notepad. I flip to the lyrics I'm going to sing as Michael stands on the opposite side of the microphone with his headphones on. The engineer starts the track and we begin recording my daughter's lullaby in full. I smile at her as she shoots me smiles and reaches her hands to me through the window. "You gave me strength, when I was not strong." I bellow. "You gave me hope, when all hope was lost..." Michael responds, grabbing my hand. "You opened my eyes, when I couldn't see.." I pull Michael's hand drawing him closer to me. "Love was always waiting for me.." Michael gives one final belt of notes. We sing the last line of the song in unison giving each other a small glance, our hands still entangled in each other. "You are my life..."
