"Wake up....honey wake up!" I heard someone say. I already knew whose voice it belonged to. "Must get....sleep" I groaned out, burying my head even further inside of the white pillows. "Not today you won't! Please Fall come on!" I heard the person say. I took a pillow, throwing it. "No! Let me sleep" I mumbled. There was silence for a few minutes and I smirked in triumph, getting comfortable under the covers. "Ow!! MICHAEL WHAT IN THE HELL?!" I yelled out, ripping the covers off my body. He had jumped on top of me....hard. "Didn't I tell you to get up?" He asked, crossing his arms. "You know what today is right?" I was quiet for a few seconds. "Uh.....Monday?" Michael let out a sigh and chuckled. "Today is the night of my performance. You know, for the MJ And Friends benefit concert? You forgot?" I shook my head. "What? Of course not! I was actually gonna say that" I was lying my ass off. "Haha yeah right" Was Michael's response as he got up off of me. I sat up in bed, watching him start to undress. Immediately I felt that tingling sensation in my abdomen. "You....excited?" I asked. Michael turned around, standing in all his naked glory. I tried with all my might not to look down south. "Yeah! You're finally gonna see me perform! I should be asking if YOU'RE excited!" He joked, turning back around. "Oh I'm excited alright" I mumbled to myself, getting out of the bed. "So....what can I wear?" I asked. I was still in one of his old t shirts. "Uh, to be honest, I actually don't know....I didn't think about that" Michael said, looking around for clothes for me to wear. "I could always go on a shopping spree!" I joked, jumping up and down like a little kid. Michael let out a laugh. "As a matter of fact, you can!" "Mike I was just joking" I said. He shook his head. "No it's fine! I'll have Dunk take you. She's supposed to be visiting me today" I made a face. "Dunk? Who's that? Is that her real name?" Michael chuckled. "You don't know who Dunk is? Oh yeah, that's right you're not a fan remember" he joked, putting on a pair of black slacks with a white t shirt and red flannel long sleeved shirt. Well it was good to know he was all dressed and ready to go, unlike me. I crossed my arms. "Are you going shopping with me?" "Nope. I've gotta go to rehearsals now. That's why Dunk's coming to go with you-" "Who the hell is Dunk?!" I snapped. Michael laughed. "Trust me, you'll know when she gets here" he said, going downstairs. I quickly followed him. "Oooo snaaaap look who it be?! My favorite girl in the world!!!" I heard someone yell. I looked up and smiled. "Teri!!!" I ran over to hug him. He picked me up, spinning me around. "Hey! How come I don't get that reaction?" Michael pouted. Terrell placed me back on the floor. "Because she's my homegirl boss" I nodded laughing. "Anyway, I'm gonna be gone for majority of the day. Teri's gonna stay with you and Dunk should be here in a few so Autumn can go shopping...." Terrell's eyes lit up. "Aunt Dunk's coming? Yes!" "You know her too?" I asked beyond clueless. Terrell nodded. "Alright well let me get going. I'll see y'all" Michael said, giving his nephew a hug. "Behave Teri!" He joked. "I always do boss!" Terrell said. Michael then gave me a hug, kissing my lips. "You too Fall" "Aw I'm always good Jackson!" I joked, hitting him on the butt. "Ew y'all nasty!" Terrell made a disgusted face. After Michael left for rehearsal, I sat with Terrell in the kitchen eating breakfast that Virginia had made for us. "Mmm I looove you Virginia!" Terrell groaned out, eating his pancakes. Virginia laughed. "You mean you love my cooking Teri?" "That too!" Terrell repiled causing Virginia and I to laugh. She then had went upstairs to go finish the laundry."Did Michael eat this morning?" I asked out of nowhere. I didn't remember seeing him eat anything. Terrell shook his head, stuffing eggs in his mouth. "Nah. Boss doesn't eat that much" "But you can't skip breakfast! That's the most important meal of the day!" I said. "I know right?! That's what I keep telling him. But he's never been that much of a big eater especially after those stupid allegations...." I looked up from my plate. "Allegations? Allegations of what?" Terrell was shocked but I honestly didn't know what he was talking about. "Nevermind...." he said, going back to finishing his eggs. "I'll have boss tell you about it. I'm surprised you never heard about them...." I shook my head. "Well, I'm not really a fan of his so....my sister would probably know...." I thought of Nadia. That's right! Michael did say I could call my family and ask if they'd want to see him perform tonight.....I'd have to call them later. Suddenly the doorbell rang, breaking the sudden awkward silence between Terrell and I. He literally jumped out of his chair. "I'll get it!" He ran towards the front door, opening it. "Aunt Dunk!! Come in!" I heard him say. I turned around in my chair, trying to get a good view of who this could be. "How've you been Teri? Still being a pain in Mike's ass right?" She joked. Her voice was so soft and light! It sort of reminded me of Michael's in a way, only much more feminine. "Only sometimes between the hours of 4 and 4:30 pm" Terrell joked causing the woman to laugh. "That's my nephew!" She walked into the kitchen, setting her purse down. She also had with her what looked like a bag of some clothes. She set them down on the counter next to her purse. "Oh who's this?" Dunk asked, looking over at me and then at Teri. "Aw Teri you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend!!! Does Mike know?" I almost choked on my orange juice. Terrell busted out laughing. "Nah! That's Autumn. She's not my girl haha" "Autumn...." Dunk repeated my name, walking to me. As she got closer I could definitely tell she had to be related to Michael in some way. She had his big expressive eyes and similar features. Suddenly Dunk flashed a smile, instantly reminding me of Michael's. YEP! Definitely related! "You're Michael's girl right? I've heard so much about you! It's nice to meet you! I'm Janet, his sister" Janet held her hand out for me to shake. "N-Nice to meet you too" I stuttered a bit nervous. I didn't mean to openly stare at her but she was capital G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! She wore ripped jeans with white flats and a white t shirt that anyone could immediately see the outline of her abs in. You could definitely tell she worked out often by her toned body. I immediately felt a bit insecure about my own looks and body then. Janet wore very little makeup (she honestly didn't need any) and her long wavy dark brown tresses had a hint of caramel highlights in them. (*If you've ever seen the 'All For You' music video or if you remember the whole all for you era in 2001, imagine that's how Janet looked*). "Mike's right, you're even more beautiful in person" Janet said causing my cheeks to grow warm. "Thank you" I said, shyly looking down at my plate, suddenly loosing my appetite for breakfast. "Boss said we're supposed to go shopping for clothes for Autumn while he's at rehearsal" Terrell said. Janet gasped. "You mean to tell me you don't have any clothes to wear yet?" I shook my head. "Well it's a good thing I brought this!" She joked, grabbing the bag off the counter and pulling out a pair of black skinny jeans and a light green t shirt. "You can wear these while we go shopping. They should fit you fine" Janet handed the clothes over to me. "Thank you" I said, heading upstairs in the bathroom to go change. After putting the outfit on (Janet's jeans were a little loose on me since she had more hips and behind to fill them out) I glance over my reflection in the mirror. 'If I just had a belt to wear I'd be alright' I thought, pulling the black jeans up near my waist. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was Janet. "I had a feeling you might need this" she joked handing me a belt. I smiled. "Thanks" I placed the belt on, going downstairs. "Alright everybody ready?" Terrell asked. Janet and I nodded. "Well, let's go on a shopping adventure then!"

It took about a total of 3 hours to go shopping. Janet and I had found so many clothes. I couldn't help but feel guilty since technically I was spending Michael's hard earned money but he an  Janet claimed it was absolutely fine and that I really needed the clothes. In those 3 hours I had been able to really bond with Janet. She was such a sweet down to earth person with a wicked sense of humor! She in a lot of ways was like her brother but still managed to be her own person. I found out that also like Michael, she was a superstar in her own right. A pretty successful one at that. She told me about how a couple weeks ago she had been honored by Mtv with the 'Icon' award/tribute. Thinking about it, I did remember hearing a couple of her songs on the radio before. Her music was pretty good! I also remembered at one point asking if her and Michael were twins which caused her to bust out laughing. "Everyone always asks that! We're actually about 8 years apart but yeah, we're pretty close" she had said. She then told me about the other siblings (I had NO idea Michael was the 7th child out of 9 children!) and what their childhood was like in Gary, Indiana. It was pretty interesting to hear their life story of how they became famous. She also had told me about the Jackson clan and all of the cousins, nieces, and nephews, (There was A LOT! This was definitely one huge family!).By the time we had finished shopping, Terrell looked beyond tired and ready to leave. "Next time y'all go out, remind me to wait in the car" he joked. When we got back to Neverland Ranch, Michael still wasn't home yet. "You probably won't see him until early tomorrow morning. He's gonna be at rehearsals for a while" Janet said, taking a seat on the couch. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss him right now. "So do you know what you're gonna wear for the concert tonight?" She asked. I shrugged. "I don't know, maybe a pair of jeans with a t shirt and sneakers....why?" Janet looked at me like I had 3 heads. "What?! Girl, you can't wear that! You want him to notice you right? You've gotta dress to the 9's for your man!" She sassed, snapping her fingers making me laugh. "So...dress more elegant then?" I asked. I had never been that much of a girly girl. I was more of a tomboy while Nadia was straight up girly 24/7. Janet nodded. "Don't worry, I was like that too when in was younger. I'll help you out" The two of us headed upstairs, placing all of the shopping bags in the guestroom. I didn't walk Michael's room to be cluttered with stuff. After about an hour of trying on different clothes Janet and  I had decided on a short black chanel backless dress with black heels. The dress really helped outline my body, giving me a sort of hourglass figure. Janet had straightened my brownish blond hair and helped along with Virginia do my makeup. When I looked over my appear in the mirror, I gasped. "Wow...." I said, not believing it. I looked...."Damn you look sexy girl!" Janet said. "Beautiful Autumn!" Virginia added, nodding. I smiled wide, turning around to give the two woman hugs. "Thank you so much!" I said. "Don't thank us! Thank Mike when he sees you tonight!" Janet joked. While Janet and Terrell got dressed, I pulled out my cell to call Nadia. She answered on the first ring. "Hey Fall! Having fun?" "Absolutely!" I replied. I told her about the concert Michael was putting on tonight and asked if her and mom and dad would wanna come. "Aw Fall we'd love to but we can't. Mom and dad are actually on a cruise right now and I'm still staying over Monica's. But please call me when you get back and tell me all about it!" She said. "Okay" I said, trying to sound happy but I was a little hurt that they couldn't see the concert with me. We talks  for another good 20 mini before hanging up. When Janet and Terrell resurfaced downstairs I let out a loud whistle. "Y'all look amazing!" I said and they honestly did. Janet was working the HELL out out of the white Versace dress and heels she wore, her hair up in an elegant bun. Terrell wore a sharp black Tom Ford suit, freshly shaven. "Alright! Let's go to this concert y'all!" Terrell said. He was so excited. The 3 of us left the house, going into the black suv parked outside. Michael's concert here we come!

It was packed when we arrived at the stadium. I could immediately feel the butterflies swarm around in my stomach. The fans recognized who Janet and Terrell was but not me which I was thankful for. When we reached inside, there was a room that was filled with what I assumed was Michael's family and friends. I gulped. Did his family even know about me? What would they think? Am I overdressed? Hell, was I showing too much skin by wearing this short backless dress? I started to sweat. Janet, sensing my nervousness, gently grabbed my hand. "Honey you'll be find. My family is gonna love you! Trusy me!" Terrell nodded in agreement. "Yeah just be yourself Autumn" The three of us then walked inside the room. People immediately got up from their seats, embracing Janet and Terrell. I let out a shaky sigh. God I was so nervous! I wanted to introduce myself but couldn't seem to find my voice. "Everyone, this is Autumn. Michael's girlfriend" Janet said causing all eyes to fall on me. I waved, smiling shyly. The first person to come embrace me was Michael's mother Katherine followed by all his other siblings. I was beyond thankful they didn't ask a lot of questions about Michael and I and left me alone. Soon the concert started. Janet took a seat next to me. "You excited? Mike told me you've never seen him perform before" I nodded. "He's right about that!" Janet laughed. "He's actually nervous. He said he didn't wanna mess up in from of you haha" "Aww I'm sure he will" I joked, the both of us laughing. The spotlight came on and Michael walked out onstage and the fans went WILD. In his hand he held a suitcase. He placed the suitcase on a stool on stage and opened it, pulling out a black sparkling jacket and a white sequined glove followed by a black fedora hat. By now when he had put on all that stuff the audience was loosing their shit. It was pretty funny to see. "It's Billie Jean!" Janet whispered excitedly over to me. I smiled, nodding my head to the bass line. About an hour into the concert it was now intermission. I got up real quickly to go to the bathroom. "Oh my gosh this is so cool!" I whispered to myself. Michael was on fire! He was performing his ass off and sounded absolutely AMAZING. It was actually turning me on. It wasn't until I heard a noise that I realized I wasn't alone in the bathroom. It sounded like a little whimper. I froze in fear. "Hello?" I called out. No answer. Instead the whimpering got louder. I was actually about to leave, thinking maybe the person wanted some privacy when I heard a voice reply "I can't get out!" It sounded like a child. I walked over towards the stalls, trying to open the door but it was jammed. "I'm s-stuck!" The voice replied, crying louder. She sounded terrified. "Can you hear me in there? You're gonna have to crawl out" I said softly, trying to calm them down. The person crawled out and it was in fact a child. A little girl. "Are you alright?" I asked. The little girl continued to look around, her green eyes wide with fear. "Where's my brother? Where's Gracie?" She said, shaking all over. "I can't talk to strangers!" She ran over towards the corner of the bathroom, crying even harder. I felt my heart break. "I'm not gonna hurt you okay? I promise" I said, crouching down in front of her. I couldn't help but think I might've seen this girl before, not in person but maybe in a picture.....she looked so familiar to me but I couldn't  remember from where I'd seen her before. "What's your name?" I asked. "P-Paris" the girl said, sniffing. I nodded. "I'm Autumn" I said, looking over the outfit the little girl wore. It was black pants with a pink hello kitty shirt and light up sneakers. Her light brown locks were braided in to two long pigtails. She looked adorable. "I'll help you find your brother and Gracie okay?" I said, holding out my hand. Paris nodded, grabbing my hand but right before we could leave the bathroom door busted open. "Oh my gosh there you are!! Get away from her!" The woman yelled, running over and snatching Paris up in her arms. The woman glared at me. "What were you going to do to her?!" She snapped. "Nothing! I was gonna help her find her family! She was locked in the bathroom!" I snapped back. The woman rolled her eyes, obviously not buying my story. "Don't EVER do that again you hear me! You could've gotten hurt and  I would've gotten in serious trouble" The woman scolded, hitting the little girl on the behind. "I'm sorry Gracie" Paris said, burying her face in the woman's neck. Oh so this bitch was Gracie huh...."Autumn is nice" I couldn't help but smile that Paris had remembered my name. Gracie rolled her eyes. "Autumn? What kind of name is that?" The door then opened again, followed by a little boy walking in, his bleached blonde hair shining underneath the light. He wore a Spiderman t-shirt and light up shoes as well."Yaaaaay Gracie you found Pari!" The little boy yelled, jumping up and down. "I sure did Prince!" Gracie smiled, lifting the boy up in her arms as well, she looked up and down at the outfit I wore, shaking her head. "Don't you think that's a bit much? You're at a concert not some skank club" Oh this woman was something else. Right before I was about to give her a piece of my mind, she turned around and started to leave. "Come on y'all. Let's finish watching DADDY perform" she really emphasized on the DADDY part as she left, leaving me confused in the bathroom. "Fucking bitch" I mumbled, letting out a sigh. I couldn't stop thinking about where I had seen those two kids before. It was driving me crazy. The door opened again, Gracie walked back in, grabbing the purse that she had left on the sink. "Who the hell is daddy?!" I asked her. Gracie rolled her eyes, not answering. "Excuse me Gracie!" I said. "That's GRACE to you! Only the children can call me that" Grace said, staring me down. "Oh.....now I know who you are....Autumn" she said, looking at me as if I disgusted her. "What is your problem?!" I snapped about THIS close from punching her in the face. She smirked, fixing her red curls in the mirror. "Michael didn't tell you huh.....those were his children you just saw. Obviously you don't mean THAT much to him if he didn't tell you....." she then walked away. I felt my heart race, the adrenaline rushing in my veins. Michael had CHILDREN?! No wonder they had looked so familiar.....they were in the picture I had seen a the house when I first arrived there.....He never told me he had children.  I could feel the tears well up in my eyes an  I quickly shut them, refusing to let any fall. I let out a shaky breath, opening my eyes and slowly walking out of the bathroom. I suddenly didn't feel in the mood to finish watching the concert. Turning on my heels, I headed for the exit, getting back inside the black suv. " Ms. Grey? Aren't you a bit early?" Bill asked. He was the personal driver. I shook my head, trying hard to hold back my tears. "Please can I just go back home? I don't feel well" And I honestly didn't. I actually felt like I might be sick. I needed to lay down. Bill let out a sigh, understanding. "Alright" he said, starting up the car and driving back to the ranch in silence.......

Once we reached the ranch, I walked inside the house and upstairs towards Michael's bedroom. I picked up the photo on his dresser with shaky hands. "He has kids and he didn't fucking tell me?!" I yelled out, setting the photo down and running into the guest room, slamming the door shut. I threw the dress I wore and heels on the carpet, changing into a pair of shorts and a long sleeved shirt. I crawled in bed, the tears running down my cheeks. I stayed in the guest room. The clock on the wall read 2:30 am. I heard the front door open followed by the sound of HIS voice. I immediately turned on my side in bed, pretending to be fast asleep. I heard the foot steps up the stairs,  opening the guestroom door. "Oh my god there you are!" Michael cried out, running over towards me however I placed my hands up. "Don't.....don't touch me" I said. Michael looked concerned. "Autumn? Honey what's wrong? I was looking all over for you at the stadium. Apparently you had left before the show was over.....did you not like it? What-" "Why didn't you tell me you had kids Michael?" I interrupted him, crossing my arms. Michael looked down at the carpet, scratching nervously at his neck. "I was gonna tell you soon-" "No you weren't! Your bitchy girl had to tell me! Gracie? You fucking her too huh?" Michael shook his head. "Grace's my nanny, well my children's nanny. Of course I'm not fuc-doing her.....when did you run into her?" "In the bathroom. Your daughter was trapped in the bathroom and she accused me of trying to kidnap her" "WHAT?!" Michael yelled, startling me. "Paris was locked in the bathroom?! For how long?!" "She didn't tell you?" I asked, slightly shocked. You would think she'd tell him that....."No she didn't....shit!" Michael cursed throwing something to the floor causing me to jump. He was PISSED. "Where are they now?" I asked. "Over my mother's. They're spending the night.....I can't believe she didn't fucking tell me that! Paris must've been scared to death....what kind of father am I?! I didn't even know! I was fuckin on stage!" Michael yelled, trembling. I got out of bed, walking over to grab his hands in mine. "Hey it's not your fault okay?" I said. Michael shook his head, refusing to look me in the eye. "I can't believe I didn't know......what kind of father am I-I...." his voice broke as the tears began to trickle down his cheeks. "Shhhh honey" I whispered, pulling him into my embrace. "You're not a horrible father. I just wished you would've told me sooner....." I said. "I was going to.....I'm sorry" Michael said, his face buried in my neck. I ran my fingers threw his black hair. "Your performance was amazing tonight....even though I didn't get to see the ending" I said, placing sweet kisses on the inside of Michael's neck. He let out a low groan. "Well I'll put on a private show just for you tonight....." "Mmmm I'd like that" I purred, nibbling on his ear lobe. "Where's Janet and Teri?" I asked, my hands reaching down to unbuckle the pants he wore. Michael slowly removed the shorts I wore, his eyes never leaving mine. "At the club with Jan's boyfriend Jermaine (Dupri). We've got the whole night to ourselves......just what I wanted" Michael whispered, lifting me up in his arms and walking over to his bedroom, placing me on the bed. I let out a little yawn. "Honey.....we won't be getting any sleep tonight....." Michael whispered, attacking my lips with his. He quickly opened my legs, throwing my panties to the floor......
