I unlocked the front door to my house and stepped in, holding the door open for Michael. I went to turn my alarm off and sighed, "Ah, feels good to be home," I said while stretching from the plane and car ride. Michael yawned, "It does," he said walking over to me.

Cabo was a fantastic vacation. It was the perfect little getaway for me and Michael to just be alone together with no stresses of work or the media. We had so much fun together creating memories of a lifetime. During our stay, we snorkeled, cave dived, ziplined, hiked, went to eat at some amazing restaurants, went shopping of course, and even visited a children's orphanage. We also swam at either the pool or the beach everyday. It was honestly one of the best trips I had ever been on.

And of course, Michael kept me in bed for a lot of the time too. Good thing I had just replaced my IUD, because undoubtedly I would have gotten pregnant on this trip.

I heard my house phone ring and I walked into the kitchen to pick it up. "Hello?" I answered and Alisha screamed into the phone, "YOU'RE HOME! FINALLY!" she said dramatically, making me laugh. "I am. I literally just stepped through the door," I said looking through my stack of mail. "How was it! Tell me everything and don't leave anything out! I want to know every dirty little detail!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"Every detail?" I asked in shock. She always said that "me and Michael disgust her with how much we were in love." "Yes. And start with the anniversary! I haven't talked to you since then," she added. "Okay," I said, chuckling.

I started telling Alisha all about Michael renting out a yacht for us for our anniversary when I felt Michael wrap his arms around me. I turned around to face him and he spoke quietly to me, "Who are you talking to?" he asked. "Alisha," I mouthed and he nodded. "When you're finished on the phone, come to bed," he said looking at me. I nodded and mouthed "Okay," at him, trying to listen to Alisha yapping in my ear.

He smiled and kissed my cheek leaving me in the kitchen to finish telling Alisha all of the details from our trip.

I finished telling Alisha the story and I walked out to my foyer to see if Michael was in my room. I didn't hear anything, so he must've been already laying down. I walked back into my kitchen and quietly unlocked the door to my backyard so I could talk outside without Michael hearing me.

"Alisha, I think I have a problem," I said hesitantly. "What's wrong? What happened?" she asked, concerned. I went to speak but I heard her gasp through the phone, "You're pregnant," she said straightforwardly. I sucked my teeth, "No!" She chuckled lightly, "Oh."

I sighed, "I've been getting these notes from some anonymous person threatening me and I think it's because I'm in a relationship with Michael," I said peeping back into the kitchen. "What do you mean?" Alisha asked, confused.

"I get these letters sent to my house, threatening me. Literally threatening me. I didn't think anything of it, but now I'm starting to get scared because they're more frequent and one came to my house before we left for Cabo. Whoever it is knows where I live," I said quietly.

"Have you told Michael?" Alisha asked. "God no. He already doesn't let me out of his sight and if I told him, he'd literally chain me to him." Alisha sighed, "Ash, you need to let someone know. You're scaring me now. Tell Wes so he can hire security to watch out for you and try to figure out who it is," Alisha recommended. I nodded, "Okay, I will. I'll call him tonight."

"What do the letters say?" Alisha asked and I paused for a second. "Sometimes they're like riddles that I'm guessing mean something, but I just don't know what. But like the last one I got, it read, I can make him want me and I can make him crazy. You don't know me, but I know you."

"Ashley, that's scary," Alisha said hesitantly. "I know! I don't know what to do!" I exclaimed. "And who is "he"? Michael?" she asked. I shrugged, "I think. I don't know who they're talking about exactly," I said, stressing myself out over this.

Alisha asked me some more questions about it and ordered me to call Wes as soon as possible. She also told me to get more security as soon as possible because I was leaving for Sydney in a few days for a fashion campaign and she wanted me to be as safe as possible.

I calmed myself down and tried to not think about it so much so I could face Michael. I didn't realize I had spent over an hour on the phone with Alisha. I sighed, walking up the stairs and saw my bedroom door was cracked. I slowly opened the door and saw Michael asleep laying on my bed. I smiled watching him. Just seeing him made me feel a thousand times better.

I quietly changed into a matching Calvin Klein sports bra and lounge pants set before I crawled in bed, trying to not disturb Michael. As I went to pull the cover over us, Michael slowly blinked his eyes open and immediately they landed on me.

"I tried waiting up for you," he croaked and I smiled. "It's okay. I didn't realize how long I had been talking to Alisha," I said, switching positions to face him. He smiled lazily and pulled me into his arms, gently squeezing me. I got comfortable and let out a breath. I felt Michael place a soft kiss on my forehead, causing me to smile.

Soon after, we both drifted off to sleep for the night.

I heard the backdoor open and close along with voices and laughter. "Sissy!" I heard my little brother Ashton yell making me smile. "In here," I yelled back out from the media room. I heard his feet pat against the floor as he ran in search of me. I went to pause 'Harlem Nights' but Ashton ran into me, hugging me tight making me drop the remote. "Someone's excited to see me," I said chuckling, hugging him back.

I looked up and saw Michael walking in the media room. He looked at me and I winked at him, causing him to blush. Ashton pulled back from the hug making me tear my eyes away from Michael. "Did you have fun with Michael today?" I asked and he nodded excitedly. "So much fun! Me and Applehead rode all the rides!" he exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down in front of me.

"Someone's hyper," I said, giving Ashton a look before looking up at Michael, "Did someone have some candy?" I asked Ashton but looking at Michael. "Yes! I had cotton candy, a sno cone, and even a donut!" Ashton exclaimed and I raised my eyebrow at Michael.

Michael sucked his teeth, "Applehead! We said we weren't going to tell her!" Michael said looking at him and Ashton's eyes widened and he pursed his lips, "Oops." I laughed, shaking my head, "Ashton, go get your stuff to take a bath," I said standing up from the couch, "you stink," I teased playfully. He punched the side of my leg, "Ow!" I yelled out in pain. "I don't stink," he said, frowning up and crossing his arms.

"You do. You and Michael," I teased looking at Michael who was laughing because Ashton hit me. Ashton burst out in laughter and Michael's face fell, "I didn't say anything! Why am I getting ganged up on!?" he asked, scoffing, "and I don't stink," he said, smelling his armpits. "You guys smell fresh," I said trying to hide my smile. Michael rolled his eyes, "Oh whatever. Only black people say that. What does fresh even smell like?" he asked and I laughed, "Ashton, go grab your stuff ," I ordered.

"Okay!" he said, running off to the bedroom. He whipped past Michael making me laugh and Michael turned to me with his eyes widened. I walked up to Michael, placing my hand on his shoulder, "If this bath doesn't calm him down, you're watching him for the night," I said, giving him a smile. He sucked his teeth and I walked off chuckling, "And remember you said you wanted 18 kids!" I yelled from the hallway. I heard him scoff, "I still do! And you're mothering them!" he yelled back.

I shook my head and went into the bathroom to run Ashton's bath. I got Ashton situated and talked to him as he played in the bubble filled bath. He was almost invisible with how much bubbles he made me pour. Michael walked in the doorway and smiled at us. "This is so cute. I need a picture," Michael said leaving the bathroom to grab his camera. He snapped a few pics of us before joining our talk. As I grabbed Ashton's Donald Duck bathrobe, I heard Michael's house phone ring.

"I got it," Michael said, getting up from the floor next to me. I helped Ashton get out of the bath and as I wrapped his robe around him, I heard Michael from behind me. "Smiles, Wes is on the phone for you," he said and I froze for a bit.

I was waiting on his call so I could tell him about the threats I've been receiving but this wasn't the right time, especially with Michael up. I turned my head around to Michael and nodded. "Go take your phone call. I'll finish getting him ready for the night," Michael said. "Okay," I said, getting up off my knees to walk out of the bathroom.

As I went to walk out the door, Michael grabbed my waist, stopping me. "You okay?" he asked, whispering. I looked at him, unable to hold eye contact because I knew he'd read me like a book, and looked at Ashton who was checking himself out in the mirror. Michael leaned down a little to make me look him in the eye, "Yeah-yeah, I'm fine," I said, giving a small smile and walking out.

As I walked out, I heard Michael teasing Ashton. "You are 6 and so full of yourself! You're not that cute," Michael teased and I think Ashton hit him because Michael yelled out in pain before Ashton said, "I am cute."

I heard Michael laugh before he said, "Yeah I guess you are. Let's get you dressed for your sister." I walked out to the kitchen and grabbed the phone off the line, "Hello?" I asked. "Hey Smiles, I'm returning your call," Wes said calmly over the line. I peaked out into the hallway and saw Michael and Ashton walking to the bedroom and I knew I had to make this quick.

"Hey! I'm sorry for bothering you on your off days, but I have a problem Wes," I said quietly. Immediately his tone changed and it went protective, "What's wrong?" he asked. I sighed, "I'm receiving threats from some random person."

It went silent for a few seconds, "Wha-what? Are you serious? How long has this been going on? Why haven't you told me?" Wes asked sternly. "A few months now and at first I thought they were harmless and just fans mad because I'm with Michael but they're starting to scare me and now they're being delivered to my house."

"Do you have them?" Wes asked. I looked down the hallway again and no sign of Michael yet, "Yeah-yeah. I kept them all. They're at my house though. I'm at Neverland right now," I answered. "Okay, I'll grab them tomorrow and figure out something. For right now, we'll hire more security and have discreet security as well. I'm thinking we add more cameras to your house and you never leave without your detail. You hear me?" Wes asked sternly and I sighed, "Yeah, I understand."

"Okay, good. Who knows about this? Does Michael know?" Wes asked. "No! And he can't know. He'll lose his mind," I said hoping Wes would understand, "and only Alisha knows." He sighed, "Okay, well, I'll have Bill help me on this too."

"No, Wes! Bill is obligated to tell Michael everything especially if it has potential to involve him and anything I tell Bill, Michael makes him tell him. Bill or Wayne can't know Wes, please," I pleaded. "Okay," he sighed, "I'll get a couple of my old guys then. For now, keep me on speed dial and anything suspicious, you call me right away. I mean it, Smiles," he said sternly.

"I will," I said as I heard Ashton and Michael laughing in the room. "Okay, we'll get to the bottom of this. We'll find out who is sending these threats and make sure they never threaten anyone ever again. No one is touching my Smiles," Wes said protectively.

I smiled. Wes was like a father figure to me. I grew up with him because he was friends with my grandpa and I trusted him with my life. I know he'd do anything in his power to keep me safe. "Thank you, Wes. I don't know what I'd do without you," I said softly. "You'd still be the strong, independent, and beautiful young lady you are today and that's how I'll know you'll get through this."

"I gotta go, Jeannie is calling me for dinner. I'll talk to you tomorrow," Wes said. "Okay, tell her I said hi and thank you Wes, again," I said sympathetically. "You don't have to thank me, but keep focused. I love you and I'll call you tomorrow when I go to your house."

"Okay, sounds good. Love you too, bye," I said ending the phone call. I hung up the phone and took a deep breath to compose myself before heading in the room with Michael and Ashton. I walked in and saw them playing with lightsabers like they were in Star Wars. They saw me and paused. "Look all ready for bed like I said I would do," Michael said, gesturing to Ashton as Ashton posed. I laughed at him and applauded, "Well done." Michael smiled, "So now we can have 18?" he asked and I shook my head, "Um, no." He scoffed, "I just showed you, I could get kids ready for bedtime!" he exclaimed and I laughed.

"Okay Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, let's go pick a movie," I said smiling at them. They turned to me and smiled. Ashton grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the room with Michael behind him.

"I'm gonna jump in the shower," Michael said, thumbing towards his room and I nodded. "Yeah, because you stink Applehead," Ashton said, plugging his nose playfully. "You be quiet little Applehead," Michael said, poking him in his side causing him to laugh and hide behind me trying to get away from him.

Ashton and I made a big fort with pillows and blankets in the media room as we waited for Michael. When Michael came out, we were walking back into the room with popcorn and water. "Who made this fort?" Michael asked, stunned. "Me and sissy," Ashton said, climbing into it. "This is amazing," Michael said and I laughed watching him. Michael and I climbed into the fort with Ashton and we all decided to watch 'The Flintstones.'

As the trailers played, we talked amongst each other. "Oo! It's on! Press play! Press play!" Ashton said excitedly as he snuggled into me. Michael pressed play and put the remote down, snuggling into me as well, squishing me between the both of them.

"Oh, so now I exist to the both of you. All day today, it's just been you two and now you both cuddle into me," I teased and they both looked up at me and then to each other. Michael smirked and snuggled into me more, "She's mine," Michael teased sticking his tongue out at Ashton and pushing his arms away from me. "No, she was my sissy first," Ashton said defensively, pushing Michael's arms away and making me laugh. "Well she's my girlfriend," Michael said and Ashton frowned up at him. "You give her cooties."

Michael and I busted up in laughter as Ashton crossed his arms. "Oh yeah?" Michael teased moving. Ashton nodded and Michael sat up and grabbed me, placing a tender peck on my lips making the 'muah' sound. "EWWW!" Ashton yelled, making us laugh more.

I looked at Michael and he knew exactly what I was thinking. Michael grabbed Ashton, tickling him as I kissed him all over his face, making him laugh. "Stop, stop Applehead!" he said through his laughter. Michael stopped and I pulled back, "Now you have cooties," I teased and he wiped his face off. "Nasty. I'm telling mommy and daddy you kiss boys." I scoffed at him.

The movie had started and we all laid back in the fort. "We share her okay?" Ashton asked looking at Michael and Michael nodded, "Okay." I smiled, shaking my head as they both laid on me.

About 35 minutes into the movie, Ashton fell asleep, and only Michael and I finished the movie. As the credits came on, Michael sat up and grabbed the TV remote. I sat up and stretched since I was used as a pillow the whole movie. Michael turned to me and chuckled, "He's knocked out," he said. I nodded, yawning, "I know. You wore him out today."

"Me? He wore me out!" he said, making me chuckle a little. "I'll go lay him down. Just go get in bed," Michael said, getting up and walking over to the other side to grab Ashton. Ashton stirred as Michael picked him up, "Sissy?" he said looking around. "I'm right here. It's bedtime," I said, rubbing his head and he nodded, laying his head down on Michael's shoulder.

As Michael walked to his room, he rubbed Ashton's back softly singing to him and my heart melted as I followed behind them. He was so gentle and had a natural fatherly instinct. Maybe I do wanna give him 18 kids. He'd be the best father. I know that for sure.

When we got to Michael's room, Michael stopped and let me kiss Ashton's head before he laid him down, tucking him in and kissing his head as well. I walked up the stairs to the second bed and got under the covers, feeling my eyes get heavy.

I felt Michael get in the bed, and I opened my eyes, realizing I had slightly dozed off. Michael smiled at me, "Go to sleep baby," he said softly tucking my hair behind my ear. I nodded, and shut my eyes.

"You're gonna make a great dad," I whispered to him and I heard Michael smile so I opened my eyes. He was blushing even in the dark room. "I might just give you 18," I said with a smile. He cheered to himself and I chuckled a little. He pulled me into him and kissed my head, "I love you," he said softly as I fell asleep to his heartbeat.

If only everyday after this could've been like this.
