I stand at the door shocked I'm looking at Christopher right now. I'm frozen. Did something happen? Did he see the picture of Aubrey and Dr. Jordan? I have so many questions.

He steps in and puts his bags down. He takes off his hood and hat, then looks at me. He laughs and snaps his fingers, "Baby...Snap out of it." He says still laughing.

"Babe-what are you doing here?" I ask stepping to the side and letting Chase bring in the rest of his bags on the cart.

"We can talk about that later. Aren't you happy to see me?" He asks

"Yes, I'm just shocked." I smile and go in for a hug.

"Oh my god, baby I missed you so much!" He says hugging me tightly.

"Who is that?" Mama Joyce says peeking her head around the corner.

"Hey ma." He says letting go of me. He rubs my stomach, then kisses it.

"Boy...what the heck are you doing here?" She walks over and they hug.

"Long story." He answers.

"See y'all later." Chase says and Chris tips him.

"Come up here tomorrow. I got something else for you. Thanks for looking out for my girl." Chris says

He nods his head and leaves.

I close the door, "We got time." I say putting us back on subject.

"Let me sit down first." He tries to avoid my question.

"Do they know you left?" I ask

"Baby, give me a minute. Let me shower and get into some clean clothes. When I'm done, we can talk."

"Okay." I say and he walks away. I hear him saying hi to Mercedes and then holding a quick conversation but I walk into the kitchen with his mom.

"Something happened." I say

"You think? I hope not." Mama Joyce says

"He isn't saying anything."

"Well don't stress yourself out about it. Let him take a shower...but you go upstairs and wait for him to come out. Maybe he just wants to talk to you in private and not in front of us. He'll tell you before he tells me." She jokes

"Okay."

"I guess I should make him something to eat. I'm sure he hasn't eaten yet."

"Knowing Chris, he probably stopped somewhere before he got here. He ain't missing no meals." We both laugh.

"I'll still whip him up something, just in case." She says

"Okay." I go into the living room where Mercedes was sitting.
