New Years Eve
Becca went down into the cellar to get the red grape cider and started thinking. 'Hm...it's almost time to find out the gender...well, I can't be worried about it much.' She thought, walking back up the stairs and into the living room. She closed the cellar door and went into the dining room. They were 12 hours away from the timing and she was excited. While time was going, Michael saw Becca and hugged her from behind. "Hey baby." He said and Becca giggled. "Hey Michael." She said back. They walked into the library and saw Prince, Paris and Blanket sitting in front of the fire place. "Cold, you three?" They turned and saw Becca and got up and hugged her. "Oof, careful now. You're gonna hurt the baby." Becca placed her hand on her stomach. She was now 7 weeks, almost 8 weeks in. Paris looked and was confused. She thought that Becca was eating a little too much, but asked. "Are you pregnant, Mom?" She asked. Becca nodded. "You're expecting a little brother or a little sister, guys." Michael said. Paris and Prince and Blanket were excited to get a little sibling. "I have a surprise for you all." Becca said. They turned to her and they saw her under a spotlight. She smiled and took a deep breath and listened to the music.
"Never can say goodbye
No no no no I
Never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so
That I never can say goodbye
No no no no I
Never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
That passes me right through the core
It says, "Turn around, you fool"
You know you'll love her more and more
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
Oo oo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo
Oh, I never can say goodbye girl
Oo oo, I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo
Never can say goodbye
No no no no I
Never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And there's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old, 'Did you hang up?
Can't do with you all the time'
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye, girl
Oo oo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo
Oh, I'm never gonna say you goodbye, girl
Oo ho, I'm never gonna say you goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo
Oh no, I'm never gonna say you goodbye, girl
Oo oo, baby, I'm never gonna say you goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo oo..."
Once the song ended, she heard clapping and looked up and saw them standing and clapping for her. She smiled and Paris was crying a little bit. Paris went up and hugged her and Becca hugged back. Once Paris released her, she smiled. "That was beautiful, Mom." She said. "Thank you, Paris." Becca replied, placing her hand on Paris' head. Michael came up to Becca and kissed her. She kissed back. Prince didn't mind it when they kissed in front of him, and neither did Paris. Blanket on the other hand was confused and looked like he'd run out any second. They broke the kiss and started getting set for New Years.
30 seconds til New Years
Paris was getting the glasses and Becca was ready with the cider. Once she got the glasses to the living room, she started pouring the cider into them. When she finished, she placed the bottle down and they got their glasses. They looked at the clock and started counting down. "10! 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..." They said and the clock rang. "Happy New Year!" They shouted and then clanked the glasses and drank. It was now 8 weeks for Becca. She had two more weeks until she found out the gender of the baby. She and Michael looked at each other and gave each other a kiss. Paris and Blanket and Prince gathered around Becca and Michael and they all gave each other a group hug. They start back up on rehearsals next week, so they got this week to have fun and mess around. Becca and Michael asked the kids when they should be married and Prince said after their baby brother/sister is born. That's what Michael thought, too. It would have been a disaster if the baby was born during the wedding. So they agreed to September 16. (Me: I'm keeping Michael alive, so it doesn't follow the timeline of his death. I had to think about it so much to finally come down to this conclusion :).)
Becca got her friends together and they went to get dresses and such. Courtney was her Maid of Honor. Her Bridesmaids were Kathy, Tori, Melissa, Brittany, and Rachel. Her flower girl was her niece, Katie (Me: That's Elizabeth's daughter in this fantasy.) Becca was excited and had Courtney keep the dresses at her house so they could take them to the church in September. They asked Becca if Michael had any problems with medications and such. "He does, but it's nothing compared to his inability to sleep. I've tried to get him to sleep for hours, and nothing. I've tried almost everything." She said. Tori suggested Propofol. "Oh, no, Tori. Not Propofol...besides, it's not like he'd get that anesthetic anyway. It's dangerous to him. It could kill him." Becca told her. It's true, Propofol was a dangerous anesthetic that if used the wrong way, the patient could die. They have to be constantly monitored in case something goes wrong. She told them about her tonsillectomy and how she was put under it and how she was monitored. There was no way Michael was getting his hands on Propofol...or so Becca thought.
At the house
Becca returned home and saw Michael holding a bottle of some sort. "Michael...what's that?" She asked. Michael looked up and quickly hid the bottle. "N-Nothing, Becca." He said. She put her hands on her hips and he sighed and brought it out. She read the label and it said Propofol. Becca was in shock. "Michael, please don't take this for your sleeping problem. It could kill you if your not monitored constantly." "I'm only going to take a little bit of it, I promise, Becca." "It doesn't matter how much you take, Michael. It could kill you! I'm worried about losing you." She soon felt tears fall down her cheeks. "Besides, it wasn't supposed to leave the hospital. It's an anesthetic for surgery, Michael. Not for sleeping purposes at home." Michael looked at it. 'She's right. I shouldn't be taking this for my sleeping problems. What was I thinking?' He thought and got up. She saw him go to the fire and toss it in. Her eyes went wide and he walked back to her. "You're right, Becca. I shouldn't be taking that. Thanks for clearing my head." He said, hugging her. She hugged back. "We'll try something else to help you sleep, Michael."
Later that night
They got ready for bed and got into bed. Becca cuddled up to Michael and she started singing One Day In Your Life. Michael recognized that song because it was one of the songs on his album when he was still a J5 member. He smiled and soon, he actually went to sleep. Once Becca ended the song and found him asleep, she smiled at him and soon fell asleep herself.
