Sky POV
"It's so boring," I whined into the phone. A couple of days after I settled in at Neverland, Michael was headed back on tour. He was in Kansas currently, and would be back in two days but then he would be gone again next week. "I should've stayed in school till you came off tour. Stayed with my parents or something."
"All to do there and you can't find anything to do?" Michael asked.
"Well let's see. Half of the rides I can't get on cause i'm pregnant as hell, i'm scared of some of your animals so you should've just left Bubbles for me & my feet are swollen so I don't even wanna leave the bed."
"You sound so miserable."
"I am," I whined. "I'm ready to give birth so I can go back to normal. I want my body back."
"I want your body too," He said & I could tell he was smirking. I playfully rolled my eyes as I tried to ignore the tingle between my legs. My hormones were going completely crazy lately so even if he just blinked i'd go crazy.
"ANYWAYS, i'm ready for you to come home to me. I need a foot massage & you give the best ones."
"Come home to you? God that sounds amazing." I smiled biting my cheek. "But I gotta get this money for my family." I giggled. "What?"
"Why do you sound like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like you trying to be from the hood."
"I am from the hood girl. The hoods loves me." I fell out laughing. "What's so funny?"
"Michael you ain't from no damn hood."
"Girl i'm bad, fuck what you heard." I snickered.
"Okay Michael."
"But seriously, you should get Kae or Dawn to come over."
"They're in school Michael."
"Shit I forgot, um... I don't know. Maybe we didn't think this through?"
"No shit." He sighed.
"I'm sorry baby." I blushed at him calling me that. "I- uh mean Sky."
"It's not your fault. I guess i'll take a nap."
"All you do is sleep."
"I'm pregnant with twins dickhead, of course that's what I always do."
"You're going to get bored of sleeping."
"You can never get bored of sleeping."
"Whatever, i'll call you after my show. Kiss the babies for me."
"How-" Before I could even ask my question, he had hung up then phone. I scoffed putting the phone back on the hook before looking down at my belly. I leaned forward trying to kiss it but then I realized how stupid that was & sat back up. "Yo damn daddy." They kicked & I winced. "Come on now..." They stopped & I sighed in relief. Then I looked around the room before groaning. "I'm so bored!!" Michael was right, I was bored of sleeping. I kicked my feet on the side of the bed before getting up & sliding them into my house shoes. I walked towards the door & opened it before walking out. I walked down the hall towards the main foyer before looking in both directions, wondering where I should go next. I went right, towards the hallway with the twins' bedroom. As I walked that way, I walked past a door. I had always seen it but I never knew what it was.
So, me being my nosy self, I decided to see what it was. I opened the door, and the room was like heaven to my eyes.
This man had a full blown dance studio in his home.
"He's so extra," I said to myself laughing. I walked in, closing the door behind me, just taking it all in. I remember when I wanted to own a dance studio when I was younger. And he just casually has it in his home. The perks of fame, I tell you.
I walked over to the mirror and stared at myself for a moment. I was getting so big. I looked like I was about to pop & i'm only 6 months! I sighed before walking away from the mirror. Let me move before I start crying about how big I am. I saw a radio in the corner sitting on top of the chair. I walked over to it & turned it on.
"People been blowing up the phone all day for the new one from Al. B Sure! It's 'Nite and Day'." The song started & I stood there waiting to see if I would like it or not.
But by the time the first verse came on, I knew this was going to be my new favorite song.
"Heyyy!! I can tell you how I feel about you night and day," I said singing along with the chorus & dancing a little. Whoever this I'll be sure or whatever his name is dude he know he released him a hit. When the song was over, I wanted to hear it again. So I turned to another radio station hoping I would hear it again. Of course it was on commercial. I rolled my eyes walking away from the radio. Don't they get tired of playing commercials all day?
I walked over to the middle of the studio humming 'Nite And Day'. It was stuck in my head now. I continued to hum it while dancing a little to the parts I could remember. I did one move & then stood up straight. "Yeah that's nice," I said looking at myself in the mirror.
Then, I heard the beginning of my new favorite song. I squealed before collecting myself & clearing my throat. I started to follow the beat of the song & just doing whatever dance move that I could do with my belly.
Before I knew it, I was creating my own choreography. For the next two days before Michael came back, I went in that studio & tried to catch that song every time I could so I could finish my choreography because I knew it would bug me if I didn't. But they didn't play it enough and that just wouldn't do for me.

8:59 AM
"Can we go to the record store?" I asked as Michael walked in the front door with his luggage in his hand. He raised his eyebrow at me.
"I just walked in & that's the first thing you say to me?" He asked. I rolled my eyes playfully.
"Hi Michael. Can we go to the record store?"
"Hey Sky. I'm great. I missed you too," He said walking past me towards the room. I groaned following him. "Why do you want to go to the record store so bad?"
"Because it's a new song that I heard on the radio and I love it but it doesn't come on the radio a lot and I want it really really bad," I said as we walked into the room.
"Well why didn't you ask somebody to take you or go get it for you? You're not my prisoner here, you can leave when you want," He said putting his luggage down & turning to me. I shrugged, making him roll his eyes. "I'll send somebody to get it for you. What's it called?"
"Nite And Day by Al. B Sure!" I said excitedly. He nodded & I ran up to him kissing his cheek. "Thank you. And I missed you too," I cooed making him smile. He then walked over to the phone & called somebody to get the cassette. I was happy. I could finally finish my dance.
11:10 AM
"Here," Michael said walking into the room with the cassette in his hand. I squealed and quickly got out of the bed. "I ain't never seen your ass move that fast." I ignored him snatching it out his hand.
"Thank you bye!!" I yelled heading towards the studio.
Michael POV
I stood there dumbfounded as I watch her move down the hallway. The hell this girl going? I shrugged before climbing in the bed. I guess i'll find out when i'm done taking a nap.
1:16 PM
I woke up & Skylar was still not back in the room. Where the hell did she go with that tape? I decided to get up & go see what this girl got herself into. I got up & walked out towards the way she went. When I got to the end of the hall, I heard music playing from my studio. She must've went exploring while I was gone. I headed that way & I could definitely hear the music clearly as I got closer.
I'll love you more in the rain or shine
And making love in the rain is fine
I opened the door a little & peeked inside seeing her dancing in the mirror. I definitely had forgotten that she danced.
A love so good and I call it mine
Love is blind
She stopped & went over to the radio. "That's not it," She said pausing it. Then she tried her move again. "I guess." She pressed the button to rewind it before pressing play and I heard the beginning start as she walked back to the middle of the studio.
She did a little freestyle before the song officially started & that's when she started dancing.
(Start at :10 if you want to watch it) My jaw dropped. For one, I didn't know pregnant people could move like that. Especially not the way she complained about her feet & body. But she was getting it, and she was also smooth with it. Two, she looked so fucking amazing. I swear if the floor wasn't so uncomfortable in that studio i'd take her right there.
When she was done she breathed hard walking towards the radio to turn it off. I walked in the studio clapping, making her jump before turning around & blushing.
"That was... amazing," I said walking up to her. She waved me off.
"That was nothing?" I raised my eyebrow before laughing. "Yeah and I can't make panties drop with just one look." She playfully rolled her eyes. "Come on now."
"It wasn't anything, I was just doing something," She said shrugging & taking the tape out.
"Girl you were doing something special. Your moves were smooth but also on point. You've got a gift girl." She shrugged me off making me roll my eyes. "You ever thought about dancing professionally?"
Sky POV
I shrugged. "When I was younger, yeah." He smirked making me look at him weirdly.
"You hungry?"
"I guess..." I said still wondering why he smirked at me.
"Come on then." I put my tape back in it's case before following Michael out of the room. Crazy ass.
1:24 PM
"You don't think we should eat inside?" I asked as we walked outside. You would think it was July the way the sun was beaming down.
"Why? You hot?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine. I'm worried about you."
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"Your vitiligo." He looked shocked & I was honestly confused as to why.
"How did you know about it?" I looked at him like he was slow.
"Well I mean... we had to have sex to make the babies," I said pointing at my stomach. "But that's not even when I noticed it. I noticed it when you used to spend a night. I didn't want to bring it up though cause you might not have wanted to talk about."
"It's fine. I can talk about it with you. I mean it's not much to talk about but yeah." We sat down under a table with an umbrella. "How'd you even know what it was?" I swear he's kind of slow.
"I don't know, maybe cause I was in medical school." He smacked his forehead.
"Duh Michael." I giggled. "Sorry, I'm still tired from last night."
"And what did you do last night?" I asked half joking, half serious.
"I mean I do perform for a living." It was my turn to smack my forehead. "Lord help us both." We laughed. Then I took a bite out of my sandwich. "But yeah I have vitiligo. I've had it for a couple of years. My grandfather had it so that explains where I got it from," He said before eating his sandwich. "I got lupus too. Just fucked up all around," He said with a fake laugh. I gave him a sad look and he sighed playfully rolling his eyes. "Don't look at me like that."
"Don't say that."
"I mean it's true," He said shrugging his shoulders. "I look like a damn cow that-"
"Nope, i'm going to stop you right there," I said putting my sandwich down on my plate & turned to Michael. "You are not fucked up, you look fine, you are fine." He smirked & I rolled my eyes playfully. I didn't mean it like that but he is so i'm not objecting. "Don't fret about it, okay?" He nodded & I smiled picking up my sandwich. I looked down at before biting and saw a ladybug on it. I threw it down whining.
"What?" Michael asked looking concerned.
"It was a bug on my sandwich," I said ready to cry. He handed me his sandwich and I squealed quickly taking it, biting into it.
"Fat ass." I pouted & he quickly shook his hands. "No i'm sorry." I mugged him as I took a bite out of my sandwich. "So it's something I want to ask you," He said before clearing his throat.
"What?" I asked after I swallowed my food.
"I was wondering... since the public now knows about you & the babies that you would..." My heart started beating fast. I would what? "You would... want to be my date to the Grammy's next week?" I was disappointed because I thought he was asking me something else but then I realized what he said & started coughing. He quickly pat my back. "Are you okay? Breath! Lift your arms up!!"
"The Grammy's?!?" I yelled as I caught my breath.
"Yeah. Even you don't want to go-"
"I do!!" I yelled throwing my sandwich down. He looked at the sandwich sadly but I ignored him. "Run-DMC? Billy Joel? Little Richard? Hell yeah I wanna go!!" He smiled at my excitement.
"It's a date then."
