Enjoy!

Three more days was the thought running through Annie and Michael both. There were only three days left until Michael returned home to Neverland. Annie smiled at this. She couldn't wait. She had spent two boring weeks alone. She wanted Michael's bright aura around her again. A sharp pain ripped through her chest and she pressed her hand over her heart. A mere thought of John hurt.

She held back tears. Every time she thought of her baby boy, she felt something ripping her heart open. She gasped as the pain hit again. She curled up into a ball on the bed. She closed her eyes and tried to forget the pain. After a while, it subsided and she sighed.

She needed fresh air. She got up and changed. She slipped on her shoes and headed out of her room. She walked down the stairs, not much in a hurry. When she got outside, she sighed. She needed that fresh air.

She started to stroll toward to garden. She was passing a tree when she felt it. The feeling of being watched. Not just watched by anyone, but by Andre. She gasped quietly. He was back. He knew she was here. She looked around and started to back away toward the house. She turned completely and almost ran back. She had heard someone close by.

She took on last glance outside before closing the door. She gasped when the house maid bumped into her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Annie." The house maid said in her heavy accent. "Are you- are you alright, if I may ask."

Annie slowly nodded. "It's all right, Melinda. I'm fine."

"All right, miss. I'll leave you to yourself now." Melinda walked away. Probably to tend to other things.

Annie sighed and slowly made her way upstairs. "Three more days." She whispered. "Three more days."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Michael was excited. He had just finished his last concert. He was eager to get on his plane and head home to Annie. He packed his last suitcase and sighed. He would be heading home tonight. Annie would probably be asleep. He had gotten her a gift already. A locket with a small purple jewel engraved on it.

He thought of her reaction and smiled. There was a knock on his door and he called, "Come in!"

One of his bodyguards stepped in and said, "Michael, it's time to head to the airport."

Michael nodded with a smile on his face. He was heading home to his baby.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Annie stared out the window. She couldn't sleep and she was eager for Michael. She didn't know exactly when he was coming home, but she was watching from the window, just in case. She sighed and brought her legs to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. She looked over at the clock. Two a.m. and she wasn't a bit tired.

She looked back outside and noticed lights coming down the road. Her heart fluttered when the gates opened and a limo came down the driveway. She jumped up and ran out of her room, a grin on her face.

She opened the door and ran outside. Michael was stepping out of the limo and saw her coming. He grinned and held his arms open. She ran right into them and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair.

"Michael, I missed you." She said, looking up at him.

"I missed you, too, baby." He whispered. He pulled her face to his and they kissed oh so passionately. When they broke apart, Michael's bags were already inside.

"Maybe we should go to bed." Michael said, looking at her mischievously. She giggled and nudged him playfully.

"Naughty boy." He grinned and picked her up in his arms. He carried her inside and to his room.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Andre had come back to Neverland and watched as the limo pulled up. He saw Annie run out and into Michael's arms.

"Freak." Andre growled. He growled again when he saw them kissing. 'Freak, she's my girl."

He was furious when he saw Michael carrying Annie inside.

"She's mine damn it! Only I f*** her!" He was determined to get Annie back. And no one was going to stop him.
