This chapter is about what happened eighteen years ago between Michael Townley and Macey Rose!
So, let's make this a flashback chapter!
And now… back to the bank robber/criminal drama...
Ludendorff, North Yankton… Eighteen Years Ago…
Michael Townley was kicked out of his own trailer home, after when he and his wife of five years had gotten into a heated argument. He was walking around aimlessly in the snowy trailer park, until he decides to visit his best friend of twenty five years, Carter Grant, hoping that he can stay over until Amanda cools down.
Marcelline Rose or better known as Macey Rose was alone in the Grant-Rose trailer home along with her three year old stepson, Ethan Grant. After putting her stepson to sleep, she decided to clean up around the shallow living room and kitchen area.
On her mind, she was thinking about something that she told to her boyfriend Carter Grant about what she wanted. After taking care of Ethan for the first year of their loving relationship, she decided to become a real mother by having Carter's baby.
She would love to have a baby who has his dark brown hair and glowing emerald green eyes. But somehow she has to wait on his answer, because Carter was gone for the whole week to visit his relatives outside of town.
As she was washing the dishes, she heard a knock at the door which caught her attention. She dried her offer hands while her big chocolate brown eyes were still staring at the door before she opened it to see who was at the door.
"Michael?" Macey asked.
"Hey, Macey." Michael greeted back. "Is C here?"
"He's outside of town right now seeing his relatives." Macey explained, hugging herself as she felt the snowy breeze against her arms. "Can I help you with something?"
"You mind if I stay here, until my wife calm the fuck down?" Michael asked. "You see, we've gotten into a argument and she kicked me out of my own house."
"I know I'm going against Carter's wishes without asking him." Macey said, before moving out his way to walk in. "But you can stay, until she calms down."
"Thanks, I really appreciate it." Michael said, before walking in. "Besides, I'm freezing my dick off."
Macey giggled, before she closed the door.
Michael was taking off his winter coat as he hanged it up, next to Macey's mauve pea coat hanging on the coat rack on the wall.
Macey was just watching him, until he turned around to face her which surprises her at first.
"Uh, you wanna beer or something to eat?"
"I'll take a beer." Michael said, while Macey walked towards the kitchen. "I'll eat later."
Once Macey handed him an ice cold beer, he sat down the couch along with her. He started talking about how his wife wanted him to spend more time with his kids even though they're three and five. He loves his kids and wife very much, but when there was heists involved, there was always trouble going around in their lives and even Carter and Macey's raising a four year old.
Macey was listening to every word Michael was talking about while drinking his beer. They even change topics, as they both share laughs together. She was showing him the sweetest smile to him just how she did to Carter whenever she was listening to him with those beautiful pink lips that stand out between her pale skin.
Somehow, Michael was taking a liking to Carter's girlfriend even though he only known her for about a year and seem to not acknowledge her.
But somehow her shoulder length strawberry red hair and those big chocolate brown eyes somehow gotten his attention.
It was late at night around 12…
Macey was slowly getting tired for the evening, as Michael getting his third beer into his system. She can look dead in his baby blue eyes and tell that he was already drunk by the way he sound and even how he drank it while moving around.
"Okay, Michael, I'm gonna head to bed." Macey said, standing up.
"Hey, hey, whoa… where do ya' think yer goin', baby?" Michael asked, pulling her back on the couch.
"Baby?"
Macey stood up from the couch, until Michael's hand was gripped onto Macey's tightly.
As she turned around to see his big, but slightly wet hand grabbing her small and petite one, she was getting serious about it.
"Seriously, Michael, it's really late." Macey said, once more.
"Slow down, Macey…" Michael slurred. "I wanna spend more… time with ya."
Macey and Michael begin to start pulling each other's hands, until the drunken father decided to let the red haired mother pulled him towards him, as he fallen on top of her against the hardwood floor of the living room area.
Macey blinked her eyes open to see him, laying against her as she was shocked wondering if he was alright.
"Michael, you alright." Macey asked.
Michael's head was laying down sideways against her b cup breasts, hearing her heartbeat, until he lifted his head up look deeply into her chocolate brown eyes. Macey's eyes widened as she felt his hand touched against his warm cheek, feeling the coldness of his hand.
Michael made the first move by kissing her on her pink lips.
Macey's eyes widened for a second, without moving against his drunken lips. Her arms weren't around him, they were against the hardwood floor.
Until the red haired mother decided to give into his drunken kiss, by moving her soft pink lips against his. Her arms wrapped around him, as her left hand was running through his black while the other was around his back. Her legs wrapped around his hips, as she and Michael was truly enjoying this.
Not thinking about Carter.
Or even Michael was thinking about Amanda or his kids.
Once Michael removed his lips from Macey's soft ones, her eyes still closed until his fingers touched her strawberry red hair until she finally opened her eyes.
"You're so fuckin' beautiful…" Michael said.
Macey smiled. "That kiss was… amazing."
After staring into each other's eyes once more, Michael kissed her once again while she moaned into for his tongue to enter and yet it did. He reaches for the hem of her black tank top as he lifted up to see her beautiful breasts in front of him while he fondling and swirled his tongue around nipples.
"Michael…" She moaned out softly.
Michael looked up at her with his baby blue eyes, before he stood up from the floor. She remove her black tank top, as she was half naked in front of him. He smirked before lifting up Macey with her legs wrapped around his waist. He started attacking her soft neck, leaving bite marks and wet kisses on her as they were walking towards the door of the master bedroom.
"Oh fuck." Macey moaned, as Michael slapped her ass once he halfway removed her fuzzy winter pajamas bottoms and sky blue color panites.
Macey finally opened the door to her bedroom by reaching behind her to find the doorknob and turned it. Michael kicked the door, as he walked in still holding onto Macey before kicking the door behind him close. Once he laid Macey down on the bed, he started to remove his clothes as he was left in his boxers. He climbed onto the bed as she was left in her sky blue panties, ready for him to take her.
"Don't tell Carter about this…" Macey whispered, before licking the inner of his ear. "And I won't tell Amanda as well."
"I won't, cause I'm very very horny, baby." Michael said before removing Macey's panties, as she was removing his boxers with her feet and toes.
One Week Later…
"Daddy!" A three year old Ethan said gleefully as he jumped into his father's arms. Carter Grant returned from his trip, as he was greeted by his loving girlfriend and playful son.
"Hey little buddy, I'm home." Carter greeted his son, before having his small body rested against his hip.
"C, I wasn't expecting you be home this early." Michael said, before walking towards the living room out of his nephew's room.
"Well, isn't this a surprise." Carter said. "Were you here to keep Ethan company?"
"Yeah that, and I help Macey around." Michael said, before looking at Macey who wasn't looking at him. She just kept her stare at her boyfriend with a warm smile on her pink lips.
"Well, I think you should head home, Michael." Macey suggested. "I'm sure Amanda cooled down and wanting you to come back, especially Tracey and Jimmy."
"I guess you're right. I miss my family anyway." Michael grabbed his coat and place it on him, before Carter moved out of his way. "I'll see y'all later."
Without another word, Michael finally left the trailer home.
"He and Amanda gotten into an argument?" Carter asked.
"Yeah, but I'm sorry if I went against your wishes." Macey apologized. "Michael needed a place to stay until Amanda has cool down so he's staying on the couch while I stayed in the bedroom. All we do this week was play with Ethan and also he help me around the house while you are away."
"Is that so, Macey?" Carter asked, before placing his son on the hardwood floor so he can go watch TV. "May I talk to you for a minute?"
Macey nodded, before following him into the master bedroom. Once Carter closed the door, Macey sat down on the bed and so did her boyfriend.
"What is this about, Carter?"
"Well, I've been thinking over the week at my relatives and I even talk to them about it-"
"What is this?" Macey said confused.
"Macey, what I'm trying to say is yes."
"Yes, to what?"
"Macey, we can give Ethan a sibling to love." Carter explained. "Let's have a baby together."
"What? Carter, you sure you wanna do this?"
"Macey, I wasn't there when my ex girlfriend from the past dropped off Ethan when he was a week old at my doorstep." Carter explained, holding her hands. "And I want to experience the whole pregnancy thing with you. I want to see you take care of our child."
A smile was curled on Macey's lips. "When? When do you wanna try?"
"Tonight." Carter moved closer and placed a loving kiss on her lips. "I love you so much, Marcelline Rose."
"And I love you too, Carter Grant."
Nine Weeks Later… (Ten Weeks Pregnant)
"And there's your baby…" the nurse said, having the wand onto Macey's stomach as it showed the ultrasound screen a small little life growing inside of her.
"Wow, she's so tiny." Carter said, Macey giggled.
"You want a girl, Mr. Grant?" The nurse asked.
"Yeah, more than ever." Carter replied. "I already have a little boy and I was hoping for a girl, so we can…"
Carter felt his flip phone vibrating in his back pocket and he excused himself, leaving out of the room.
As the nurse cleaned Macey off, she raised her body upright while looking at the screen while the nurse was printing off ultrasound pictures.
"I can't believe you can detect a heartbeat at nine weeks."
"Miss. Rose, you're not exactly nine weeks." The nurse explained. "You're actually ten."
"Ten weeks along?"
The nurse nodded as Macey keep her eyes on the screen, seeing her baby at ten weeks.
How can she be pregnant at ten weeks when she only known to be for only nine weeks?
So, she think back the week before Carter left on his trip and she just remembered something.
Michael could be the father to her baby, because she remember inviting him into the house and let him have sex with her during the whole week.
A Week Later… (Eleven Weeks Pregnant)
"Michael, I'm glad that you came over." Macey said, having her hand on her stomach as Michael walked into the trailer home.
"You alright, Macey?" Michael asked. "You seem kinda worried."
"I'm fine, but there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Uh, look… remember that week when Amanda kicked you out of the house?"
"Yeah, why?"
"And we sorta… cheated on Carter and Amanda, by having a secret sex."
"You promise never to bring that up again." Michael warned.
"Yeah but there's something else." Macey said. "Michael, I don't think this kid belongs to Carter."
"What is this?" Michael asked. "What are you saying?"
"Look, I made a mistake by having sex with you we sorta created something-"
"Whoa, whoa, wait Macey." Michael stopped her. "You… you're…"
Macey nodded.
"You're fuckin' pregnant with my kid?!"
Macey nodded. "Yeah it's true. I wasn't on the pill, while you were here and…"
"Oh, shit!" Michael said worried, walking around the living room of the Grant-Rose trailer home. "Oh, no… What am I gonna do?"
"What about you?" Macey asked. "What about me? I'm pregnant with you kid, Michael Townley!"
"I can't fuckin' tell my wife and kids, Macey!"
"Well, I can't tell Carter too. He'll kick me out!"
"Even my wife too." Michael said, before sitting down the couch.
Macey sat down next to him, as he had his head in the palm of his hands. All Macey did was lay her back on the couch, having her hands on her small but showing stomach.
It caught Michael's attention, as he watched Macey rubbed her stomach like in a lovingly mother way and even as way that she is today.
He remembered that he asked his wife if they can have another child, but between having two kids and raise them in a trailer park where crazy things happen they probably need more space to have another baby. Amanda decline his offer as he somehow had baby fever, but now he somehow got his wish since he got his friend of twenty five years girlfriend pregnant with his kid.
He thought about it long and hard before he started talking to her again.
"What do you need me to do?" Michael asked.
This has gotten Macey's attention away from her small baby bump.
"What?"
"I said what do you want for me to do for the baby?" Michael asked once more.
"Michael, are you sure you wanna be in the baby's life?" Macey asked.
"It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, if you keep quiet about what happen." Michael stated.
Macey nodded slowly. "I will, under one condition."
"And that is?" Michael questioned.
"I want you to be in the baby's life more often, if Amanda or Carter ain't around." Macey said. "Listen, I won't tell Carter, if you decide that you wanna do this."
"At least let me be a part of in her life, Macey." Michael said. "I want her to grow up, knowing beside Carter will be there for her."
Macey arched her eyebrow. "A girl? You wanna girl?"
"Yeah, that's what I exactly want." Michael replied. "Carter's been saying the same thing, but I'll be happy if it's a boy."
"Well, somehow… I wanted a girl too but-"
Macey stopped talking until she watched as Michael place his hand onto her small but showing stomach. She was surprised at first, until a smile was placed on her lips as her small but petite hand was placed on top of his.
Slowly, Michael stood on his knees and reached out to kiss Macey's small but showing stomach.
"Hey, baby girl, it's your Daddy… I can't wait to see you in six months from now."
Macey laughed to herself, thinking that Michael and Carter were both going to get their wish of having a baby girl.
Five Months Later… (Thirty Two Weeks Pregnant)
"Whatever it is you call my name... I come running to you...Whenever you need me… I'll be there… Because I love you forever… And I'll like you for always… As long as I'm near my baby only…" Macey sanged as Carter had his left ear against her swollen baby bump, as he chuckled while feeling the baby's kicks.
She told him every time when she sings to the baby, kicking comes out as a result of the baby loving the sound of her mother's voice.
"You love hearing Mommy's voice?" Carter asked, feeling another kick against his cheek bone. He chuckled once again, before placing a kiss to where the baby kicked and stood back up.
"She's awake…" Macey said, rubbing her stomach in a motherly way. "I can tell by the way she moving around and kicked like crazy like when I sang to her."
"In one more month, she'll be here." Carter said, helping his pregnant girl stand up. "She'll be causing more trouble, than Ethan and Jimmy."
"Yeah, but let's not think of that Carter." Macey said, placing her hand on top of her swollen stomach, following her boyfriend out of the bedroom and into the living room area.
"Okay, I'll be back." Carter said, grabbing his black coat. "Ethan's at Michael's trailer, playing with Jimmy, so he'll be bringing him home."
"Alright, baby." Macey said, before placing a loving kiss on his lips. Carter smiled softly at her, before getting on his knees and kiss Macey's baby bump.
"You be good to Mommy, alright?" Carter said. "Don't cause no trouble while I'm gone."
Macey laughed, before giving him a final kiss on the lips and Carter has left her alone at the Grant-Rose trailer home.
Michael was walking Ethan back to the Grant-Rose trailer home, as they were having fun in the snow, throwing snowballs at each other.
As soon as they got close to the trailer home, Michael and Ethan heard Macey from the inside groaning out in pain. When Michael opened the door, he noticed Macey sitting down with her back against the couch and having her left hand on top her baby bump.
That was when Michael's fatherly instincts kicked in, as he walked towards her to check on the pregnant red head.
"You alright?" Michael asked, looking at Macey who had her eyes closed and tears were streaming down from the corner of her big chocolate brown eyes.
"I… I don't know… There's something wrong…"
Macey suddenly yelled out in pain, as she felt something coming out of her. She noticed something wet came out of her, as she finally realized what was truly going on.
She was in labor right now and she was going to have the baby.
"Shit, Macey, you're having the baby." Michael exclaimed.
"Michael... It's too early..."
"Mommy? Uncle Mikey?"
"Ethan… Mommy's alright… Ahhhh!" Macey cried while clutching onto her swollen stomach.
Michael stood up and help Macey up, as she wanted to stay down on the hardwood floor.
"No, I don't wanna get up!" Macey cried.
"But you have to go to a hospital to have the baby." Michael insisted, and Macey pulled her own hand back to her swollen stomach.
"No! They'll take my baby! Michael, they'll take away my baby!" Macey said, still clutching onto her stomach. She thought that the hospital will take away her baby, if they knew that she was off her medication during the whole pregnancy. "Please… I wanna have her here…"
"What?" Michael said surprised. "Macey, I don't know how to deliver a baby…"
"Oh fucking grow up, Michael Townley!" Macey hissed. "I'm having your baby! You seen your fucking wife do it!"
"Mommy…" Ethan called out softly as he was crying in front of them.
Michael and Macey noticed Ethan, before Michael picked him up and carry him into his bedroom.
"Stay in here, Ethan. Mommy's gonna be alright." Michael said, before leaving him alone in his bedroom which he's going to share with his baby sister.
Once he returned to Macey, she was already screaming out in pain as her legs were open but still covered with her blue jeans, soaked from the amniotic sac that was covering the baby.
Michael rushed towards as he watched her. "Okay, stay calm. I'm gonna see what can I do. Shit, I hope this ain't too hard... Fuck."
Michael started looking around the living room for anything that he can use to help Macey. He grabbed a warm quilted blanket from the couch, as he covered her from the waist down. He instructed her to take off her pants as she slowly did, until he able to remove them off her ankles along with her panties.
He noticed a small heater in the corner of the room, as he plugged it into the wall and place it close to Macey, so she wouldn't sweat so much.
And he finally he left her alone in the living room, as he decided to go into the bathroom to find more stuff for the birthing process. He grabbed a large blue towel and two small white washcloths from the cabinet. He went into the medicine cabinet to find a box of blue gloves, pair of scissors and somehow a white shoelace.
As he wet the two white washcloths in warm water, he kept hearing Macey's screaming out for help until...
"Michael!" Macey called from the living room area. "She's not gonna wait any longer! She's coming!"
Michael made a beeline back to the living room area with all the stuff that he can find, and he was by her side once again. He placed the stuff next to the pregnant red head, as he slid on the blue gloves on his hands. He place one of the wet washcloths on top of her forehead to prevent her from sweating.
Macey looked at Michael, before he hold onto her hand by comforting like he does to his wife. "You're doing good, Macey. Just stay calm and keep breathing."
"I'm breathing… I'm fuckin' breathing, Michael!"
He moved the blanket up, as he placed his gloved hands down there, which made him feel uncomfortable…
"Macey, look at me… when you feel a contraction, I need you to push and hold it for ten seconds."
"Okay… I try." Macey said, before she finally felt a contraction coming while having her hands next to her sides with the palm of them touching the hardwood floor.
After pushing for ten minutes of pushing and Michael encourage her, he finally noticed his daughter's head.
"I see the head. She's almost here… Macey, push harder this time…"
Macey pushed as hard as she can while she gave a final scream for a few seconds until she felt no more pain. She laid her back against the couch breathing in and out with her eyes closed, until ten more seconds later...
She heard the most beautiful cries of her daughter being brought into the world.
Her big brown chocolate eyes opened slowly to see Michael holding a very tiny baby in his hands. He was looking down at how small this baby is in the palm of his hands, until a smile was placed on his lips.
"Hey…" Michael greeted softly, until the baby stop crying and started squirming around while lifting up her small arms and kicking her legs ever so lightly.
Michael chuckled to himself as he wrapped the small baby up with the blue towel to keep warm.
He kept his baby in his arms, as he grabbed one of the white washcloths to wipe off her little face to see it more clearly, instead of having baby juices all over.
The baby started fussing as she felt the rough and wet white washcloth against her small face, and Michael quietly shushed her while cleaning her face off.
Once Michael clean off her face, she finally opened her small little eyes.
She looked so beautiful to him.
She had raven black tufts of hair on top of her small head. Like most newborns, she had baby blue eyes just like her father's and with a hint of sea green which looks so beautiful to him.
Michael smiled as he can hear the baby cooing softly at him.
"Hey, my little angel…" Michael greeted once more. "You're so tiny and so precious to me, yes you are."
The baby started cooing happily and she wrapped her small hand around his index finger, as she started squinting her eyes once she noticed his sterling silver wedding ring.
Michael chuckled softly at his baby girl, before placing a kiss on her forehead, hearing another happy coo from her.
"Can I see my baby?" Macey questioned and Michael finally looked to see her with her arms open for him to place the baby. He did, as he watched the baby turned her attention towards her mother.
"Mommy?"
They noticed Ethan as he was standing from a distance away from them.
"Is that Sissy?"
"Yeah, Ethan." Michael said. "Come see her."
Ethan had a smile on his face as he walked towards his mother, and sat down next to her to have a better look at his baby sister. Michael removed his gloves as he placed them in the trash bin the kitchen, before walking back to them sitting next to Macey's left side.
"Baby sissy cute, Mommy." Ethan said, as the baby looked at him with a smile.
"Yeah, she is." Macey said, before looking back at her. Her sea green eyes were looking back and forth at her mother and father, as Michael touched her small nose to make her giggle and yet she did.
"Hi, Blakesleigh Victoria Rose…" Macey said softly, as the baby looked up at her Mommy with her big wide eyes.
"Blakesleigh?" Michael asked and she nodded. "That's too long for such a tiny baby. If she forgets her name, I'll call her, Blake or Blakie Bear for a nickname. Do you like that, Blake?"
Blake let out a satisfied coo, indicating for a yes.
Michael chuckled once more for the cuteness of his youngest daughter, before touching her daughter's right cheek and Blake grabbed his finger with her small hand.
Blakesleigh Victoria Rose Townley, or better known as Blakesleigh Victoria Rose Grant was brought into the beautiful world in the snowy town of Ludendorff, North Yankton at the trailer home she was born in that living room.
So… that was Michael and Macey in this chappie of their hidden past. I wanted to add Carter at the end of this chapter, but it became too long. It will be in a flashback scene for a chappie.
But Michael will reveal more about what happened after when Blake was born...
Those song lyrics that Macey was singing was called My Little One by Sandi Patty. She made an album of children's lullabies called Sweet Dreams and I even heard the whole album when it was playing for the toddlers in the nap rooms I always watched.
