It was over. It's been weeks and there was no more threats, no more anything. Our lives were calm again. Michael officially finished his album, but he wanted me to listen to it first.

He looks at me while smiling excitedly, "Okay are you ready?" I giggle while resting my hand on his arm, "Baby, you need to calm down, there's no need to be so nervous." He nods while setting the casette into the casette player as I slide on the headphones.

I smile widely at him as I bop my head to the rhythm as he hands me the album cover so I could know the names of the songs. So far, 'Another Part of Me' was my favorite. I could feel Michael's energy and excitement seeping through the track. He was smiling widely at my expressions as I stand up and dance. He laughs while getting up and grabs my hands as we danced together as I gasp.

He looks at me confused as my eyes widen before looking down as I feel a warm fluid dripping down my leg, "Oh my God, it's time, Michael!" He still was confused as I reach over to turn off the music, "The baby! It's coming! Oh God!" His eyes finally widen at what I was saying as he grabs my hand and walks me outside to the limo, yelling for Bill to open the door. He was jittery and nervous at the fact that he was going to be a father, holding his son or daughter in his arms. I whimper as he helps me into the limo and looks at me, "Breathe baby...it's gonna be okay.." I scream at him, "NO ITS NOT I GOT A BABY WHOS HURTING ME!"

Tears roll down my face as we got to the hospital in a decent amount of time as Michael hops out the limo, screaming for some help. I look up at him as he comes back with some nurses as they slowly pull me into the wheelchair, getting me to OB. My eyes were weary as the bright lights of the hospital gave me a massive headache. I just wanted to get this damn baby out of me. They pulled me onto a hospital bed before hooking me up to an IV.

I whisper softly, looking at the nurses, "Where's my fiancé?" Michael walks in, not a moment too soon, "He's right here. Hey baby." He kisses my forehead before grabbing my hand as I squeeze his tightly. He whimper quietly in pain at the right I squeeze his hand as the doctor on duty walks in.

I smile, "Lewis." She gasps while smiling, "Hey Hathaway! Wow, it's already time, huh? Let me have a look." She sits in front of my opened legs as she touches against my womanhood, "Hm, you're already dilated for birth, guess this baby wants freedom! We are going to get ready to push soon, let me get backup, and we will soon begin." Michael looks at me while smiling nervously, "We are going to see the baby soon." I rest against the pillow depressively, "If I could push it, Michael what if I can't do it." He frowns, "You can. You're the best doctor, and you always push yourself. Don't give up now." I whine, "It's easy for you to say! You make babies inside me, and I got to push them out my vagina!"

He rolls his eyes at me as Dr. Lewis comes back with a couple of more nurses as we prep for delivery. I take a deep breath as Dr. Lewis smiles, "Okay, Marina, I need you to push on 3? Okay? 1...2...3!" I grunt loudly as I try to push the baby out of me. It was excruciatingly draining as I squeeze Michael's hand as tight as I could.

"That's it Marina! You got this, baby! Oh God, I'm so proud of you! Keep pushing!"

Dr. Lewis nods, "Okay we got the head and shoulders." I pant as I hear a wailing noise as I give one last push. My body was drenched in sweat as Michael walks over to cut the baby's umbilical cord while smiling widely. He was in tears while holding the baby that was covered in blood and fluids.

"Marina! It's a girl! It's our princess! Our beautiful babygirl!"

I smile softly as I look at him, holding our baby as the doctor take her away to clean her off. Eventually, they come back with her and hands her to Michael. She was wrapped up in a warm, pink blanket as she cries softly. Michael gently rocked her while singing to her which caused me to tear up. He was so gentle and loving with her as he hands her to me, so I could look at her.

"Oh Michael...she's so beautiful. Our little one..oh she looks just like you."

I kiss her nose as she opens her big, brown eyes to look at us. I never felt this joy, this unconditional love I feel right now. Michael kisses my temple while whispering, "What should we name her?" I bite my lip frowning, "I don't know..." I continue to look at the baby as she yawns before falling asleep in my arms. I never wanted to let my sweet angel go, I loved that she was our baby that we created out of our love. Michael whispers, "How about Katherine Louise Jackson? In honor of my mother and your nana?"

I look up at him, speechlessly, "Oh Michael.." I lean over to kiss him as he meets me halfway as our lips met up. He groans into the kiss as he slips his tongue in his mouth. Eventually, we pulled away while giggling quietly in unison.

"See you're going to get me pregnant again with a kiss like that."

"Well I plan to get you pregnant again."

I roll my eyes as I look down at little Katherine while she slept. She was comfortably snuggling against my chest as I gently caress her cheek. Michael watches me and the baby before kissing my forehead, "Let me call my family okay, you want me to call your mom?" I shake my head as he walks out the room, leaving me and the baby alone. I smile to myself as I talk to the baby was she sleeps.

"You know, that was your daddy, Katherine. He's such a sweet and loving man. I love him so much. You know I was so scared..scared of having you but now I have you in my arms and I never want to let you go. You are the best thing that's happened to me because of Michael, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him."

I couldn't help but get emotional about how I felt. I never knew you could be so..in love with someone. My body was warmer while butterflies filled my stomach as I waited for Michael to come back. To come back and kiss me and snuggle with me. To sing to me, to make me laugh. To remind me of how I'm the only woman he loves. To comfort me.

I turn my head to the door of the room as it opens slowly as Michael walks in with some snacks from the vending machine. I smile, "Whatcha got there?" He laughs, "Some good snacks. You need to eat something. Let me get Kate." I raise an eyebrow, "Kate?" He blushes, "I didn't want Katherine to take my mother's nickname as well!" I nod slowly as he scoops her out of my arms and sits down in the recliner by the hospital bed as he continues to rock her while she sleeps.

I open the bag of chips, mumbling silently on them as my eyes continue to watch Michael interacting with the baby. He was humming a sweet melody to her as I whisper, "You can lay her in her crib if you need a break." He nods as he stands up and lays her in her crib before walking back to the hospital bed, "Got room for me?" I scoot over in the bed as he lays beside me, "You know you have me the greatest gift in the world today..to have the opportunity to be a father. I'm forever in your debt." I shake my head while giggling, "I'm in your debt for letting me become a mother."

He smiles cheekily as we kiss one another. Our lips perfectly molded together as they move in sync with one another. Michael's long curls tickled my nose as I giggle, breaking the kiss. He scrunches his nose while grinning, "I can't wait to marry you, we need to set a date, soon." I nod as his hand interlocks with mine as I slowly fall asleep.
