Michael really wanted kids with my mom from the minute they got together, but she never felt certain about it. She didn’t have that feeling she’d had with my father. Whether to have children was a fundamental conflict in their marriage from the start. I know that once in a while Michael would say, “If you’re not going to have children with me, then I’m going to find somebody who will.” He would also say, “Debbie Rowe told me she will have my children.”
