After about a few hours, Rebecca woke up and stretched. She was still wondering how she was gonna tell Michael that he's gonna be a father. Before, she was dozing off, but now...she can't afford to doze off. Especially since she's pregnant, she can't. Rebecca looked at her watch and saw that it was around 9pm. She couldn't believe she slept that long. Well, she needed it. She barely slept last night because she kept waking up every hour. Isis came out of the bedroom and saw that Rebecca was awake. "Well, evening Rebecca. How was your nap?" She asked sarcastically. Rebecca shot a glare at her mother and shook it off. "It was alright. I needed it anyway. With the fact that I woke up almost every hour last night, it was good." Rebecca replied. She sat down next to Rebecca. "You know, you can't hide being pregnant for long from Michael. He's gonna find out sooner or later." "I know, mother...but how am I to tell him? I can't just call him up and say 'Hey Michael, guess what? You're gonna be a father.' I can't just do that. I'm afraid if I tell him, he'll never want to see me again." Isis sighed and shook her head. "It's better then not telling him. You're gonna have to tell him sometime, Rebecca. It is his child after all." "I know it is, mother...it's just...I don't know how to tell him." Isis put her hand on Rebecca's shoulder and she turned to her, her eyes watering a bit. Isis hugged her and she hugged back. "Tell him when you're ready to tell him. I'm just saying that you shouldn't hold off on telling him. Like I said before, he'll find out sooner or later." Rebecca looked at her mother and nodded. Soon enough, her phone went off. She picked up her phone and saw that she had gotten a tweet from Michael. Her mother noticed the tweet, too, and looked at her. She looked back at her mother. "I'll tell him...but not right now." Her mother nodded and soon left to head to the bedroom. Rebecca read the tweet. It said: "Hey, we just landed in Africa. I love you and I hope everything is alright." She smiled and tweeted back: "Glad you got there safely. I love you more, Michael. Everything is alright here. Where you headed next after Africa?" After about 3 minutes, Michael tweeted back: "We're heading to Washington state next. We're going to a different state between countries. Will I see you there?" She tweeted back to him: "I'm hoping so. I hope my mother will take me up there." He tweeted back to her: "Alright. Well, I hope to see you there. I gotta get back to rehearsals. Love you." She finally tweeted back: "Love you, too. Have fun." After that tweet, she got ready for bed and wondered how he'd react to being a father. 'I hope he'll be happy...' She thought. She started listening to the Invincible album again. 'And now this labyrinth of love has gotten difficult to get through...with a child on the way, that is.' She soon fell asleep, the Invincible album playing to keep her asleep.
With Michael and Chris
Michael just got off twitter and went back into rehearsals. He was glad that everything was alright with Rebecca. He saw a tweet from her that really touched him. It said: "I'm missing Michael so much. I hope he's alright." He kept the tweet in his mind and they continued with rehearsals before their show. They rehearsed every song they were putting into the show and perfected them in every way, shape and form. Smooth Criminal was perfected, The Way You Make Me Feel was perfected, all the songs were perfected. There wasn't one person out of step for each song. Not even Chris messed up! Later that day, the show was about to begin. It was hectic because of all the fans out there and how they wanted Michael's autograph and they wanted to take a picture with him and such. 'Oh God...I hope they don't kill us.' He thought, getting ready for the show. He knew how violent the fans could get from his Jackson 5 days. He took out a picture and saw that it was from Rebecca. She left a little note on it and he read it out loud to himself. "Here's something I thought you'd like. I'm giving you one of my drawings of you that I drew a while back. For every moment, I draw a new picture. This is a collage of you from the Jackson 5 days all the way up to Invincible. You are Invincible, Michael. No one can break you, because you are also Unbreakable. I love you with all my heart. With love, Rebecca." He read. He felt a tear fall down his cheek and he quickly wiped it away and put the picture down and headed onto the stage, where it was dark, and got in his starting position. The music started and he was soon dancing to Billie Jean. The show went on and on and everyone was cheering and clapping and such. After the show ended, he and Chris walked off the stage and went into the dressing room. "God, that was the best crowd we've ever had! I hope Washington is better, though." Chris said. Michael chuckled at him. "I'm hoping so, too. Rebecca said she may be there to catch the concert." He responded. "Dude, she better be there! She loves you so much, Mike. You have to believe she'll be there." Michael nodded to Chris. "Yeah, I know." They got their things together and headed to their trailers and got ready for bed and soon went to sleep.
1 week later
Michael and Chris were on a plane, heading to Washington state and they were talking about what to do there. "It's been a while since I've been to Washington. I'd wanna do some sightseeing there. You know, to see what's changed and what hasn't." Michael said. "Yeah, I know. It has been a while, huh?" Chris asked. "Yeah, it has." During the whole flight, Michael and Chris were joking around and everything with each other. Michael had Rebecca on his mind the whole time and Chris occasionally teased him about it. He'd always fight back somehow. Once the plane landed in Washington and they got off the plane, Frank was waiting with the limo outside. Michael and Chris headed to the limo and were taken to a hotel not too far from where they were performing next. Once they got to the hotel, they checked in and headed up to their rooms. Luckily, Chris was right next door to Michael, so they can still chat when needed. Michael got on his laptop and got on twitter and tweeted to Rebecca: "Just got to the hotel in Washington. I hope to see you soon." 5 minutes later, he got a tweet back from her, saying: "Alright. My mother and I are in Oregon right now, so we'll be there in a few hours. Love you!" He smiled and tweeted back: "Love you more! See you when you get here." She tweeted back: "Alright." Michael signed out of twitter and started getting his things unpacked.
With Rebecca and Isis
They had just stopped for a restroom break. While Isis was in the restroom, Rebecca walked around the mall to see about getting something new. She was actually wearing the dress, fishnet shirt, gloves, black socks, and dress shoes that Michael had paid for back in California. She had recently, before leaving California with her mother, sewed a white stripe on her fishnet shirt's right sleeve carefully...and it actually worked. Soon, Isis caught up with her. "Where do you wanna go before we head to Washington?" She asked. Rebecca still looked around and saw Build-A-Bear. She turned to her mother. "I wanna make Michael something at Build-A-Bear." She said and they headed into Build-A-Bear. She looked around and saw a brown bear with white spots on him. She remembered Michael telling her that he had vitiligo and thought of him when she saw it. She picked it up and looked at it. "Just like Michael..." She muttered to herself. It would seem that the bear had vitiligo, too. That's why she instantly thought of Michael. She went to start stuffing it, put a heart in it which showed her love for him, and sewed it up. She went over to the cleaning station and brushed through the bear's fur to get extra fuzzies off of it. Then she walked around the store to find something that he'd like. She knows he likes Military style things, but at this time, they didn't have anything military. Although, she found something that shocked her. She found a Billie Jean outfit: the black sparkly jacket, the white shirt, the glove, the pants, the socks, the loafers, and the fedora. She grabbed it and then went to the computer to get its certificate made. She had named the bear...'Michael Jackson'. She put its date of birth and everything. After that, she went to the check out and the cashier looked at the certificate and looked at her. "A Michael Jackson fan, huh? Well, we never got an MJ fan in here before. Anyway, that will be $30." She said. Rebecca handed her the money and she put the bear and his clothes into the little box home and they headed out. Once Rebecca and Isis were back in the car and headed out, Rebecca took the bear out of the box and started dressing him up. Once she finished dressing him up, she smiled. 'Oh, I hope he loves this...and the surprise I have for him.' She thought. After a few hours, they were in Washington. Rebecca got on twitter and tweeted to Michael that she and her mother were in Washington. She got a tweet back from him 2 minutes later, saying: "Alright. Chris and I are at the Hilton Hotel." She tweeted back: "Alright. I'll see if we can get a hotel room there then. I have 2 surprises for you anyway." He tweeted back: "What surprises? Can I know? Haha." She shook her head at his childishness and responded: "You'd have to wait until after the show. I'll see you after the show, Michael." He soon replied back: "Oh alright. See you then." She got off twitter and they checked into the Hilton Hotel. They went into their room and little did Michael know, they were across the hall from him. (Me: I find it rather funny XD.) Once it was time, Rebecca and Isis headed out to the arena.
At the arena
Rebecca and Isis found their spots and waited for the show to start. Once the show started, Rebecca always watched what Michael was doing on stage. This was the first time she actually thought of dancing on stage with him...but because of her being pregnant, she didn't want to until the baby was born. Michael saw her in the audience and winked at her and smiled when they were doing Smooth Criminal. She smiled back at him and continued watching the show.
After the show
Rebecca and Isis went back to their room and Isis was actually hoping she'd get the room to herself tonight. They heard voices in the hallway and Rebecca knew it was Michael and Chris, talking about the show. She waited until Michael was in his room and Chris was in his so she could go over with the present. Once they were in their rooms, Rebecca grabbed the bear and hid it behind her back and went over to Michael's room. She knocked and waited. 'Oh I hope he likes these surprises for him.' She thought. Soon, Michael opened the door to see her. "Rebecca? You're across the hall from me?" He asked a bit shocked. She giggled. "Yeah. Can I come in?" She asked. Michael smiled and nodded and helped her inside. Michael saw a box behind her and questioned it. "What's that?" He asked. She smiled at him and turned to him and held it out to him. "I made this for you at Build-A-Bear. He reminded me of you." Michael took the box and sat on the bed and opened it and saw a bear wearing a fedora, the white glove, the black jacket, the socks, the pants, and the shoes. He took the bear out and looked at it. He noticed the white spots on him and they were in the same places he noticed the vitiligo show up on himself. He grabbed the certificate and read it. When he saw his name, he chuckled and smiled. He put the bear and certificate down and walked over to Rebecca and hugged her. "Thank you so much, Rebecca. I love you." She hugged back. "I love you, too, Michael." Once they released the hug, she looked to the side and Michael was curious. "What's the matter, babe?" She sighed and kept thinking to herself 'He's gonna find out sooner or later.' She looked at Michael. "Michael, you may need to sit down for this." Michael was a bit confused, but sat down on the bed. Rebecca was gathering up the courage to tell him. "Michael, can I ask you something?" "Sure. Anything." "Promise me that you'll give me you're most honest answer?" "I promise. What is it?" "Well...what would you say if I told you I was...expecting something?" Michael looked at her, a bit confused. "What are you trying to tell me, Rebecca?" "Michael...you're...you're gonna be a father." Michael's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. "You're...pregnant?" Rebecca nodded. "3 weeks in to be exact...I had a test done because my mother was curious. Then I had another test done to make sure the pregnancy test was lying...and it wasn't. You're gonna be a father, Michael." Michael was still in shock. Michael got up and hugged her. He spun her around the room with a smile on his face while she was giggling. Chris soon came into the room and was confused big time. "What's going on here?" He asked. Michael stopped spinning Rebecca and looked at Chris with a smile. "I'm gonna be a father, Chris. Rebecca's pregnant." Michael had his arm around her shoulder, pulling her toward him. She put her hand on her stomach and smiled. "Whoa! No way! Congrats, man! How far are you, Rebecca?" "I'm 3 weeks in, Chris. Not too far." Chris smiled at them. "Well, I hope nothing goes wrong then. It would be a disaster if something happened." Then Chris left the room. Rebecca looked at Michael and smiled. Michael smiled back at her and gave her a kiss. He put his hand on top of her stomach. "I can't believe we are already starting a family." He said. "I know." She replied. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. "I should probably go back to the room now. It's almost..." She looked at Michael and she could tell he wanted her to be with him. "Then again, my mother wants the room to herself. I'll stay in here with you." Michael smiled and they got ready for bed. Although, Rebecca didn't bring her pajamas with her, so Michael gave her one of his shirts and his black slacks. She changed into it and then they got into bed. Rebecca cuddled up to Michael and he wrapped his arms around her. He was glad he was gonna be a father and he's proud that she's the mother of this child they were gonna have. She put her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat and soon, they fell asleep.
