Michael and I decided to enjoy nature. It was imperative that he gets back to working soon, but it didn't see like something on his mind.

Our hands were interlocked as we walk around, looking up at the big trees that surrounded the ranch. I squeeze his hand gently, "This is really nice, you know? All of this. I love being here with you. It's so peaceful and serene. I don't want to leave being here." He turns to me while smiling, "Then we will never leave being here. I told you this place was magical, maybe we should give it a name.." I giggle softly, "You want to name our wonderful little place?" He leans over and kisses my cheek, "Yeah..how about Neverland, like in Peter Pan?"

I look up at the clouds, thinking about his decision, before looking back at him, "Hm, Neverland...it's perfect. It fits this place and your childlike personality. Neverland is it!" He grins while nodding in agreement, "Neverland it is." He pulls me into his arms as I hug him tightly, enjoying the cool breeze as I rest my head against his chest. I listen to his heartbeat as he hums a melodic tune. I smile to myself as I look up at him, "Honey, I love you so much." He looks down at me and pecks my lips, "I love you so much more. And I have a huge surprise for you."

I groan, "Oh you love spoiling me! I feel bad because I don't have anything for you." He shakes his head, "I don't want anything from you, and get use to me spoiling you. You're going to be my wife and you need to be spoiled." My cheeks flushed bright red as he covers my eyes with his hands as we walk.

"Michael, I really wanna see!"

"Eventually, baby. Be patient!"

I giggle as he guides me along the walkway as he uncovers my eyes, "Surprise." I gasp at the sight.

"The rides are here! Oh my God!"

He laughs, "They were installed this morning, I just wanted to distract you a bit so I could surprise you. Do you like them?" I couldn't even answer him. My hands were covering my mouth as I walk around, looking at the rides in excitement. I felt like a kid again, being surrounded with all of this. I haven't been to an amusement park in years, and the fact Michael brought this all back to me was crazy. Eventually, I turned to him and runs over to him and hugs him tightly, causing him to almost fall down. He laughs at my excitement, "I take that as a yes?" I tear up, "This is all amazing! This..you..oh Michael. You are too good to be true."

He caresses my cheek, "I could say the same about you. Now, what are we waiting for, let's ride on these rides!" I giggle as he pulls me to the carousel and helps me onto of the animals and he stands beside me for support. I look over at him, "You can get on one of the animals, I'm okay." He shakes his head, "I don't want you to fall, with the baby and everything." I hold onto the golden pole as the carousel begins and I couldn't help but smile widely as I moved up and down. Michael couldn't help but hum to the classical music that was playing while his hands were on my waist.

This really was the best day in my life. Better than graduating from medical school.

Once the ride was over, Michael smiles, "Let's ride the ferris wheel now!" I held his hand as he pulls me to one of the carts as we sat together. He adjusts the seatbelt on us before the ride began as I turn to him as we slowly go up, "Oh my! The view!" He nods in agreement as we finally reaches the top. I gaze at the scenery of developing Neverland, and the surrounding hills and trees. It was all so..breathtaking.

Michael wraps his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him as I turn to him, "Thank you..for the best day ever, really. It means a lot." He smiles at me, "I'm happy you enjoy today, because I plan to make sure everyday is the best day of your life, babygirl." I bite my lip at his sweet, romantic words, "Oh, just kiss me." He laughs before leaning over and kissing me deeply yet passionately.

My heart started to flutter as we continue to kiss one another. I found myself falling for this extraordinary man over and over again. He pulls away as I turn away shyly. Not only I had a baby in my stomach, but butterflies. The way he made me feel...it felt like I was floating. He was the best part of my life.

"Marina..are you okay?"

I turn back to him, nodding as I smash my lips back on his. He squirm slightly as he pulls me closer to him. I moan softly as his teeth sunk into my bottom lip, tugging it gently as I pull away from the steamy kiss. He chuckles as I nudge him, "Don't try to be naughty on the ferris wheel!" He pulls his hands up in defense as we began to slowly descend from the top, "I was being innocent!" I took my eyes at his response once we made it to the bottom. I yawn as he takes the seatbelt off of us as we walk back to the house.

"Marina, you know, I was thinking about what you told me before all day. About putting my career before us, and I want you to know..that I'm invested on us, and that this album will be what it's going to be. But, you're right. I can't live my life worrying about pleasing others. I got to be happy myself and I know that you and the baby and my family and my fans will be proud of me, as long as I give it my all."

I turn to him, "I'm happy to hear that. Why be miserable and upset with something you're not going to be proud of. I believe that you got it. And that you should put your heart into your music, not your mind and what others think. It's the same thing with being a doctor, you just got to be passionate about it all. There's moments where I use to think that I have to worry about how others think of me, but it's all about my patients. They drive me to continue what I do." He smiles at me while combing his fingers through his curls, "Same thing with my fans. I don't know what I would do without them. Our careers are so different but somehow they connect in a way."

I couldn't help but giggle, "Yeah, baby. We got something really in common. That's why we mix so well. I hope the baby becomes just like its' mommy and help people." He scoffs, "No! The baby is gonna sing and dance like its' daddy. And I do help people! You know I'm like a spiritual doctor with my voice!" I shake my hand nonchalantly as we walk inside the house.

"Mm, I am, babe!"

"Sureeeee, Michael."

We walk to the bedroom as I stretch my arms out, kicking my shoes off my feet as Michael looks at me, "C'mon, you don't believe I'm a spiritual doctor, you know how I tapped into that soul of yours mentally and physically." He winks as I smile, turning my head away from him, "Fine, you're a doctor with the MD." He smirks while walking to the bathroom, screaming, "I'm still a doctor!"

My eyes grew drowsy as I comb my fingers through my hair, rubbing my stomach as I feel the baby awake and kicking me. Wild little thing. Guess its not going to let me have rest right now. I sit up from the bed as I walk to the bathroom and see Michael taking a shower as I slide out of my clothes and joins him. He doesn't notice as head is lead up while his fingers combed through his curls. My lips greeted him on the neck as his lips curl to a smile, "Hey you." He turns to me, looking up and down at my body, "God, you're so sexy." I look down at my feet embarrassingly as he lifts my chin up with his finger, kissing me.

My arms wrapped around his neck as we started to make out with one another. The warm water continued to cascade down our bodies as Michael lifts me up against the wall of the shower as we look at one another. My legs were wrapped around his waist as our eyes were on each other. He whispers huskily, "I don't know what it is, but you're like a drug to me. Your beauty is so intoxicating to me. I just can never seem to get enough of you." I bite my lip nervously as his forehead rests against mine as we breath together. His breath was erratic as I knew how much he desired me, but for some reason he was containing himself.

Eventually, he sets me down and grabs the loofah and soap and washes my body off, causing me to moan. He stares at me as I close my eyes, moaning, "Michael..that feels really nice." His warm hands gently massaged my tender breasts as his lips met up with mine once more. He was so sensible and gentle. I open my eyes as he turns the water off, and we get out of the shower together. I grab a towel as well as himself as I giggle looking down at him, "Looks like you need to deal with that, huh?" He looks down at what I'm looking at and blushes, "Oh my god! Marina, ugh, see this is what you do to me!" I laugh ever harder at how embarrassed he was as he wraps the towel around his waist, trying to hide his erection.

I put on a nice, silk pair of pajamas before laying in bed, "Hurry up, Michael! Your favorite movie is going to come on soon!" Eventually, he comes out the bathroom, dressed, and hops into the bed while looking at the television as 'Peter Pan' comes on. He smiles widely, "Oh great! I didn't miss anything!" I laugh at his excitement as we cuddle together.
