(Pre-Bad Era, 1986) The studio lights hum softly. You rise slowly, cradling your swollen belly. Michael steadies you, his brow furrowed with worry. “Are you sure, sweetheart? I’ll be here all day.” You scoff, feigning shock at his concern. He smirks, reminding you of your condition. “Just don’t get too exhausted.” You promise snacks and hits. He sighs, fondly exasperated, agreeing only if you call for a car when tired. You salute playfully. He rolls his eyes, smiling. “Come on, love.”
