Michael was surprised that Sabrina slept through most of the day. He had left her a letter because his mom needed him at the hospital but by the time he came back she was still asleep. He didn't even realize she was that exhausted. He took some liberties and ordered her some food for when she finally decided to wake up. He didn't want to seem like a creeper, but he watched her for a moment. He couldn't believe she was carrying his child. He began to think of all the possibilities. He managed to not completely screw up taking care of Avery but that was different. She was his baby sister, not his own flesh and blood. Michael liked to think he was raised right. Jason taught him everything he could know about being a man. He wished he could be there today so he could hear the good news. There's no doubt in his mind that Jason would've been happy for him. Everything was so surreal now. He was about to become a father. And on top of that run a company. Did he even know how to spread himself out so he could do both? Of course, he had time to think but he had a million different thoughts and ideas running through his head. He was taken out of those thoughts by Sabrina rolling over. She was starting to wake up, "Sabrina?" She didn't open but her eyes but responded, "yeah?"
"It's getting late, maybe you should eat something." Sabrina started to wake up more and rolled over so that she was facing him more, "How late?"
"7:30."
"I slept for 5 hours? I didn't even know I was that tired."
"I had to leave for a moment to check on my mom. I brought you some dinner."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Come on sleepy head." He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of bed. Sabrina tried really hard to act like a lady while eating but couldn't stop herself from completely devouring her takeout. "Sorry. I guess I was hungry," Michael laughed gently at her. "It's okay. You're eating for two now. Just don't try to sneak from my plate like you usually do," Sabrina looked at him. "Okay, no. You have it backwards. You always steal from me. Remember that time Cook made us a full meal. I went to use the restroom and food was missing from my plate."
"There's ghost over at the Quartermaines."
"Is that right?" They continued to tease each other until the door to her apartment opened and Felix walked out, "Hey lovebirds!" Sabrina stood up to greet him, "Hey! How was work?"
"There's this fine new doctor in pediatrics. I think Dr. Obrecht has a crush. So…do you have something you need to tell me?"
"I'm sure you already know. A little birdie named Elizabeth must've peeped," said Sabrina. "Are you guys talking in code or something?," asked Michael.
"Felix wants me to tell him our news. Our baby news."
"Wait, you knew?"
"Please. Our girl can be a little sense," Sabrina hit Felix on the arm, "I knew she was pregnant weeks ago. I was waiting for her to catch up. So did Elizabeth. And now I need to go shower and get ready for date night with Donnie." He left the room and Michael pulled Sabrina down to sit beside him. "How long did you think you were pregnant?"
"…before Sonny got shot."
"That was weeks ago. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I still stand by what I said earlier. It's too soon and I didn't want to be a burden. Too many things are happening in not only your life but mine."
A burden? Don't you know me better than that?" Sabrina was starting to tear up at Michael's reaction to the news.
"Michael. You've got not one but two families that might not be so thrilled about this."
"The rule on the Corinthos side is 'the more, the merrier.' And my grandmother, she will be more than thrilled at the prospect of adding another little Quartermaine to the rolls."
"Michael-"
"Look, Sabrina...I love you. And I should have let you know how I felt. I mean, look, you've been...so amazing, so generous. And so supportive. How could I feel anything else but love for you? I mean, you are so beautiful. You are so kind. You make me a better man. And I love you. And I love our little baby, too" Michael pulls Sabrina in for a hug and holds her.
"Really? With no hesitation?"
"Look... the thought of being a father, yeah, it's terrifying, you know? It's terrifying. But I want it. I mean, God, do I want it. You know, I want a family. And I want that family to be with you. I do. And just tell me the truth, though. Is that - is that what you want? Do you need more time?"
"I don't need anymore time. You're already being so amazing. More than I ever thought you would be. I love you, and all I need is you...and our baby."
"We're going to be parents?" Sabrina laughs at Michael's disbelief.
"Do you think if we keep reminding ourselves; it will ring true?
"Probably, but I'll say it again just to be sure. We're going to raise a baby together." Michael laughed, "It's a good thing Avery was practice then. She was a trial run and now in a few months we'll have the real thing."
"I'm going to schedule an appointment tomorrow to make sure everything is okay. Will you come with me?"
"You don't even have to ask. Of course, I'm with you every step of the way."
