Chapter 8
Not much happened in the lives of Michael and his children in the past two months. Michael of course continued to visit with Jenni, and could FINALLY have her back over at the house again. Their baby was due any day now. Andrea was warming up to Jenni quite well and so was Tristan, but the older 3 were still hesitant to like her TOO much. Jenni decided to herself that she was going to be their friend first and let things grow from there. She would offer love and support to them along the way in any way that she could.
Bailey and her relationship with Shark was growing stronger and about a month ago they officially became an "item." Her school studies and grades were going down the drain and nearly every day after school she was going to Shark's house to hang out...at least that's what she would tell Michael and Derrick.

(Racket Mansion. Look at this place!!!)
Michael grew very concerned and had to pick his battles carefully. All he could really do was pray that she would stay out of trouble and make good decisions. Rumors going on around school revealed to Derrick that Jade and the quarterback of the football team had been going steady for quite some time. It pained him to see them holding hands in the hallway, laughing together during PE class and most of all...kissing. Derrick would sigh and say to himself, Maybe I should just move on. Then a few days ago, he noticed Jade crying with some of her friends by the back of the school building after school. Naturally he grew concerned and wanted to run over and find out what was wrong but...We haven't spoken to each other in like what, 3 months? That would be weird. She wouldn't want to see me, nor would she want to talk to me. I've practically been invisible to her... Still, he couldn't help but wonder. Was it bad of him to hope that the quarterback dumped her?
Molly quit her after school ballet class. It's boring and I'm just not digging it, she thought to herself. She still maintained a close relationship with Andrea, but with Andrea signing up for more after school classes and being buried in books she felt they were drifting apart. Tristan was growing up FAST! His birthday was coming up soon, as well as Bailey's.
On this night, around 1 AM, Michael woke up to a call from Jenni. Her water had broken and she was heading to the hospital. Michael burst from his bed and got dressed as quickly as he could. "I'll be there RIGHT away," he told her, "try not to have the baby without me." He chuckled. Once dressed he stormed into Derrick's room, startling him awake.
"Geez dad," Derrick complained rubbing his eyes, "What's going on?"
"Jenni is in labor and I've got to head to the Hospital NOW!"
Well, that certainly got Derrick's attention. "Oh."
"I need you to take care of things here when everyone wakes up. I don't know how long the delivery is going to be. Will you do that for me please?"
"Yes dad," Derrick answered.
"Thanks," Michael said rushing out of his room.
"Dad!" Derrick called out.
"What?" he asked standing in the doorway.
Derrick felt like he needed to say something but, wasn't sure what. He could see his dad's impatient gaze and all he could let out was, "Congrats dad."
Michael smiled. That meant more to him than Derrick realized.
"I hope Jenni and the baby will be ok," he added.
"Thanks son," then he headed for the stairs. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He called back.
Once Michael got to the hospital and reached Jenni, they were just about to wheel her into the delivery room. "Oh Michael," she cried upon seeing him.
"Hey," Michael said kissing the top of her head, "Is everything ok?"
"Yup," she answered happily, "especially now that I have gotten the epidural!" They both laughed.
On to the delivery room they went. Jenni's parents stayed in the waiting room. With Michael by her side, being an amazing coach through it all and holding her hand lovingly, made Jenni's delivery go all the more smoothly. She couldn't help but think how someone like her ended up with someone as amazing as him.
At 3:40 AM, Michael and Jenni's baby entered the world.

The two of them couldn't seem to come up with baby names beforehand. For some reason though, after looking at the sweet, little face in Jenni's arms, they both came up with the name Ken. It just felt right.
Stay tuned! :)
