The Affair

Chapter 31

Brett

Seeing Kristen bond with my son made me realize how good of a mother she will be. I've always dreamt of being a father, but it still felt unreal that I had two children with not only Kristen, but her sister.

"I'm sure it's weird."

I looked at Tess and raised my eyebrows. "What?"

"Having two kids."

"I mean, yeah it is but I've accepted it. You both will be great mothers."

Tess smiled. "I sure hope so."

"Congratulations on your engagement by the way."

"Thanks, Brett."

"I do appreciate you allowing me to see my son."

"It's only fair, considering he is yours."

"Carson is alright with it?"

"Yes."

"Good."

I heard Scarlett crying and as Kristen stood up, I shook my head. "I got her."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

She sure looked like Kristen. "She's beautiful."

Kristen smiled. "Thank you."

"Just like her mother."

"Oh, I..."

"I know, I know. I shouldn't be saying that, but I have plans to prove that."

"What would that be?"

"You'll have to see eventually."

I looked at Tess and she smiled. Kristen has no idea what I have in stock for her.

A few days passed and I was ready to propose. "So, what's the plan?"

"I'm taking her to dinner tonight and doing it afterwards."

Tess smiled. "I'm happy for you guys."

"Thanks, Tess."

We are going to dinner tonight, dress nice.

Kristen: What about Scarlett?

Brett: Your sister said she and Carson will watch her for a few hours

Kristen: Oh, okay. See you later then

"How much did you spend on her ring?"

"The price means nothing, she will love it."

"As long as you don't cheat on my sister like you did with me, you won't have to worry about me killing you."

I laughed. "I know."

"I'm serious, Brett. You guys did hurt me but having Carson has made me partially forget about it. My sister deserves to be happy."

"I plan on making her happy for the rest of my life, Tess."

Around 6:30, Kristen got to Tess's and hugged her. "Thanks for watching Scarlett."

"Of course. I know you would do the same, have fun!"

"Where are we going?"

"That's a surprise, sweetheart."

My heart raced the whole drive to the restaurant. This was my only chance to do this. To prove to Kristen how much I truly love her.

"These prices are insane, Brett."

"You drive me insane."

She looked at me and smirked. "Yeah?"

"Yes."

Kristen rushed through her food, clearly wanting to leave. "You can take your time you know."

She shook her head. "I want you in my bed. Tonight."
