CHAPTER 20…

LOST CHILDREN

Diana sighed as Mike drove down the road to the hospital. She looked out the window and then down again. She turned to Michael who had a worried face on. She took a deep breath and spoke.

"Michael, I'm sorry." He looked at her.

"It's not your fault, Kathy must've put the idea in their heads." He replied.

"Not about that. And I didn't know you even could drive." Mike stared at her.

"Of course I can, I'm not always coffered." He paused. "Then what are you sorry for?"

"Just, everything I've put you through, heart break, depression, I even made you raise our kid and made you not tell him who his mother was."

"Blanket's just fine with that."

"But when will he start to ask?" Mike looked at the road. "He needs to know." She paused. "There's something else." Mike glanced at her.

"What's that?" She looked down.

"Remember that day, you know, 5 years ago when I confronted you for the 2cd time about your allegations of those charges?" Mike looked away from her.

"Don't even bring those charges up. 2004 was a bad year for me, I don't want to remember it."

Year 2004…

"We find the defendant, Michael Joseph Jackson, not guilty of 9 accounts of child molestation." The crowd roared high outside the courthouse as his innocence was shown. Mike nodded his head as they exited the building. The guards helped him into the limo as fans rammed into the side of it. Mike sighed as they entered the Neverland Ranch. A horrible feeling came to him as the gates opened and they entered.

"I want to move from here ASAP. This place isn't pure anymore." The guards looked at him. "I don't know where we'll move to, but it'll be somewhere far from here." The guards nodded.

"If that's what you want." One of them said. Mike entered his home as his kids came rushing to him.

"Daddy!" They screamed. He smiled and picked them up.

"Hello my children."

"Guess put I kade duddy?" Blanket asked. Mike chuckled.

"What?" He pulled out a stick figure picture of the family.

"Ta da!"

"Oh it's wonderful!" He looked around. "Kids, I know you might not want to, but-" They all stared at him. "We're going to move far away from here." They all looked down. "Don't be sad."

"We're not, it's what you want daddy." Prince said. They all nodded. The kids went off as Mike walked around outside, taking one last look at everything.

"Michael." A woman's voice was heard. Mike turned to see Diana.

"Diana! How'd you get in here?"

"Guards weren't looking, I'm glad you were proven your innocence." Mike nodded.

"I can't trust anyone, can I?" Diana stared at him and walked up to him. They kissed.

"You can trust me." Mike smiled. "How's Blanket?"

"He's good, the best he can be." Diana looked down. "What?"

"Mike, he's my child too, but I don't want to see him, does that make me a bad mother?" Mike looked at her.

"Diana, you came here for him and me, you're a great mother." She smiled. "I'm moving from here." She nodded.

"Not unusual." He chuckled. They walked into the house. "Mike, do you-" Mike pushed her down on the bed.

"I do love you Diana, don't even ask." She smiled as they began to kiss and then, you know. (Geez, they sure love each other a lot. ^^') It started to get sweaty so they stopped. Diana jumped up then and screamed,

"What am I doing?" Mike was surprised and looked around.

"Um, screaming?"

"No! Mike this is serious! I just had sex with you!"

"That's a surprise how?"

"Mike, I'm-I'm married!" Mike jumped up then.

"WHAT? Diana! Why didn't you tell me this? Oh my god! Dear God forgive me for my sins!" He turned to her. "Why Diana, why?"

"We're going through a divorce!"

"You're still married!"

"I'm sorry! I just don't love him, I guess I tried to cover up my love for you with him."

"Diana!"

"Look, I'm sorry! I have to go now!"

"No kidding! I don't ever want to see you!"

"Mike!"

"Now! Go!" Diana stared at him.

"Guess you didn't remember." Mike was shocked.

"The little red heart." She nodded. Mikes heart was aching but he still grabbed the heart from a drawer and gave it to her. "19 years I've kept this Diana, 19 years." She sighed. "Now get out." He said harshly. Diana stared at him then left.

Present Day: September 15, 2009

"I know you don't want to remember it, but-"

"Not listening, we need to focus on getting my kids." Diana stared at him.

"Your kids?" Mike stared at her.

"Yes." She looked the other way.

"Our kid." There was an awkward silence. Mike finally pulled up to the hospital and turned to Diana.

"I don't have any body guards with me, I give you permission to tackle anyone who mobs me." Diana stared at him.

"I'll love this job." They got out as they heard a gun shot go off. "What the hell? What was that?" They heard screams as people ran out of the hospital.

"Run for your lives!"

"Maniac doctor!"

"He'll kill us all!" People screamed every which way. Doctors and nurses, patients, children, families, all rushing, still hearing gunshots. Mike looked around for his kids, but they weren't in site. He ran up to a nurse.

"What's going on in there?" He asked. She stared at him, realizing who he was, shook her head and replied,

"A doctor got some kids in there shootin' at 'em!" Mike gasped and ran with Diana in tow. "Wait! Mr. Jackson you can't go in there! Cops guarding that place all over!" Mike turned back to her and looked at the hospital.

"Why would cops be guarding it? Shouldn't they be going in it?" Diana asked. Mike turned to Diana.

"Those aren't cops, they're workers, they're in it too!" Diana gasped as they ran to the door.

With Prince and Kathy

"DUCK!" Kathy screamed as she pushed Prince down and the gun went off. They heard people start screaming and running out of the hospital and every which way. Kathy looked up at Melancholy. "You're crazy!"

"Good enough for me!" He shot the gun again as they ran and ducked. They were almost to the door when they heard a voice yell out,

"Stop!" They stopped. "Stop or your family gets it." Kathy and Prince turned around to see Murray holding Paris and Blanket. They were bruised.

"No!" they both yelled.

"What'd you do to them Murray?" Prince demanded.

"Silly boy, I hit them, what does it look like?" Murray replied.

"Why? Why are you doing this? We trusted you!" Murray laughed at him and threw Paris and Blanket down on the ground.

"Are you really that stupid?" Prince was confused. "Boy, your father is the greatest entertainer in the world. He gets away with anything and everything."

"Oh brother, I think I know where this is going." Kathy added.

"SILENCE!" She was quiet. "5 years ago there was a trail."

"God, I knew it." She mumbled.

"My family doesn't believe in letting guilty people go. So, I befriended him, became his doctor, then I killed him." They stared at him. "I was going to kill him. But then you!" He pointed at Kathy. "You little ass girl, had to go and mess everything up!" His finger was right in her face so she bit it. "OW!" Murray rubbed his finger. "Everything I planned that would work, didn't work because you messed it up! Now," He paused and laughed. "Now you all will pay!" He took Melancholy's gun and pointed it at Blankets head.

"NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

"DON'T HURT HIM PLEASE!" Prince screamed.

"This is for shooting my lackies arm!" He cocked the gun and was about to shoot when he was punched in the face and knocked over. "What the-"

"I don't take to kind to murders." Mike said as he kicked Murray. "How could you?" Murray kicked Mike and knocked him over.

"I hate you, you fool!" Suddenly, a chair went flying at him and knocked him over again.

"Leave him alone!" Diana screamed.

"Oh, and the love bird comes to save the day." He stuck his tongue out. "That story always made me sick!"

"You're just jealous." She hit Melancholy before he could pounce her and jumped on top of Murray. "Jack ass." She slapped him around. Kathy and Prince ran over to Paris and Blanket when someone knocked them two upside the head. Kathy turned to see some more people; they tied up Blanket, Paris, and Prince then turned to Diana, knocked her upside the head and tied her up too. Mike tried to fight them off but they too tied him up as well. They didn't bother Kathy though, she got up and punched one of the men but Murray said,

"I don't want you tied up, it'll be one on one, fair fight."

"I hardly consider this fair." She replied.

"Because I'm stronger?"

"No, because I'm stronger." She charged at him but he punched her right in the gut. She coughed up spit and fell to the ground holding her stomach, the others screamed trying to get free.

"You're cocky, your anger makes you weak." She stared up at him as he pummeled her. He smacked, kicked, hit, punched her around and threw her on the ground. She was weakening as she tried to crawl away and get up. "You are no match for me, you're weak, useless, idiotic."

"Come on Kathy!" Prince yelled.

"You can do it!" Paris yelled finally awakening.

"Come on!" They all screamed.

"SILENCE!" They were all quiet. "Maybe your parents died because they didn't want to put up with you." Kathy stared at him.

"Don't listen to him Kathy! He planned everything! Daddy's death, your death, your parents death, even Billy's death!" Blanket said. Kathy looked at Blanket then at Murray.

"What?" Murray frowned and turned to Blanket.

"Kid, you're really annoying." He came close to him.

"Don't hurt me!" Blanket squealed.

"Leave him alone!" Diana backlashed. Murray turned to her. "Why'd you kill Billy? You monster!" Murray walked close to her then.

"Do you think I would just kill him 'cause I felt like it?" Diana looked down. Everyone was confused. "You know what's coming."

"Shut-up Murray!"

"I would only kill certain people if they had anything to do with Mikey over here." Mike glared at him. "Well, my little friend here, Melancholy, a.k.a Henry, had to take some family history on little Billy, and surprise to hear, his "Daddy", wasn't biologically his father." Everyone was shocked and they stared at Diana. "Now, you might think, "oh what a shock, but he still killed Billy because he came in contact with Katherine", well no, that's not it, otherwise I would've killed all those people at the funeral. Seems to be, little Billy was a little Michael." Everyone's eyes got wide and looked at Diana. She looked down.

"Billy was my kid?" Mike asked. Diana stared at him.

"I tried to tell you, but I didn't know how. You already had three kids, why need another that I wasn't going to take care of?" She replied.

"Diana."

"Uh oh! Family drama!" Murray laughed.

"You're a sick man Conrad!"

"Can it, oh yeah, little Blanket, your mom is Diana too." All the kids' jaws dropped more then.

"Woe." Blanket said. He stared at Diana.

"I'm sorry." She replied. Blanket smiled.

"It's ok, I just want to get out of here!" They all agreed as Murray turned back to Kathy. She was still on the ground.

"Well, she's done with." He said. He nodded at Henry to cut down Mike. He did as well. "Time for one on-" Mike punched him, hard. "Hey! I wasn't finished!" Mike punched him again.

"I don't give a crap! You kill my son, you try to kill me, you frame Omer, kill Kathy's parents, try to demolish this family! You are done with Murray." He kicked him down on the ground. Murray tried to fight him but he was weakening as well. That's when he pulled out the gun and shot. Everything was slow as Mike screamed and grabbed his chest. The others screams and hollers were heard, Diana tried to break free but nothing worked. Mike fell to the ground breathing hard. "Cheater!" He yelled.

"You cheated too." Murray was going to shoot again when Kathy said,

"I'm not through with you yet Murray." He turned to see her with a gun. "Brought this just in case, your buddy "Omer" left it at the house."

"You son of a-" She shot at him and got him right in the chest. He fell to the ground, not moving a muscle. She turned to his lackies as they ran away. Henry was still there though. He grabbed Murray's gun and aimed at her, it was a stand off. Everyone, and everything was dead quiet. They both shot as Henry squealed and ran away with a bleeding leg, Kathy looked at her shoulder which bled. She limped over to the others and untied them all. Mike was still breathing hard as the police and doctors showed up. Prince helped Kathy as she fell to the ground. She started smiling and breathing real hard. They brought her next to Mike.

"Yawl got to be strong you hear?" Kathy said. They nodded.

"Everything's going to be alright." Mike added, trying hard to talk.

"No." She shook her head. "Prince, you got to promise me you'll take care of everyone. Paris, take care of Blanket." They shook their heads as they started to cry.

"Stop it, you're going to live." Prince insisted. She kissed Prince and breathed hard.

"I'm sure Mike will be just fine, something tells me he will be, but it's my time." They all shook their heads.

"No it's not, stop it. You can't go, not now. We're family." She smiled at him.

"That's right, we are family, family sticks together, but when it's time, it's time." The doctors and nurses took her away as they followed, they put Mike and her both in a bed and started working on them. Kathy closed her eyes as she smiled.

"NO! You can't go!"

"Just so tired." Everything was dark. Suddenly, Kathy opened her eyes to be in a room full of light and saw two people. One that was her conscious, the other, well, her. "Who are you?" She asked her mirror image.

"I'm you, the alter you, Mikes conscious." Kathy nodded.

"Oh, I know about that." She looked at altars Mikes foot, which was healed. "Hey, you're healed!"

"Yeah, and my first exercise is to kick your butt!" He replied.

"Huh?" She was confused.

"You're in your head, it's not full of any guilt, and this is what Mikes head looks like now." Alter Kathy said. "You helped him get his problems out, you complete the family, and they need you." Kathy smiled. The two alters smiled as well.

"Right." Suddenly, she saw what was going on, Prince screamed as her heart line was flat and hugged her.

"Please Kathy, please!" He got close to her. "I love you." Her heart started up again as everyone was surprised, even Mike. She hugged him back as everyone cheered.

"I love you too." Everyone screamed for joy.

September 18th, 2009…

Everyone celebrated Kathy's birthday in the hospital room. She got tons of things, but what really mattered was her family.

"Happy 13!" They all screamed. Kathy laughed. So much had happened in 2 weeks time, but on this day, it was a happy day. Kathy and everyone else knew it was going to be a long road to recovery. Recovering from, not only the physical scars, but the mental ones too. But today, it was like nothing had happened, they were a family. Mike cleared his throat as he turned to Diana.

"I would like to say something." All of his brothers smiled. "SSSHHH! You're going to give it away!"

"Sorry." Jermaine said. "We're the ones who got it."

"Shush! I gave you the money."

"What is it?" Kathy asked. They all smiled. Mike turned to Diana once more.

"Diana, will you-" he opened the tiny box. "Marry me?" Everyone screamed as the kids yelled for joy.

"OH MICHAEL! YES!" Everyone screamed more at her answer. Kathy, Prince, Paris, and Blanket all hugged each other for joy. "Wait! I got something to say." Everyone was quiet. "Mike, I'm-" she looked around and smiled. "PREGNANT!" All the women and girls screamed more as the guys cheered for Mike.

After most of the family had left, the doctors gave the ok for Kathy and Mike to leave the hospital. They went into the limo and were drove to their true home. The mansion that was rented. Earlier, Mike had told the others that he finally bought the mansion and they were to live there, forever. The family arrived at the mansion as they walked toward the inside. Mike smiled watching his children run around in the yard, smiled watching Kathy swim in the pool, smiled with Diana holding his arm. He just smiled knowing that Michael Jackson and his family were truly, invincible.
