The Secret

Chapter Four

"Hey babe," Chris said, approaching the porch. "Where have you been Chris?! I've been so worried." "Hun, I was at the emergency rehearsal, remember?" Chris hated this so much. He hated lying to Will. He went to go sit down next to Will, but Will stood up before he could. "Cut the crap Chris. You weren't answering your phone, so I texted Chord and asked him when the emergency rehearsal would be over, and he texted me back saying that there was no emergency rehearsal." 'Oh shit he knows,' Chris thought to himself. "Would you like to tell me where you were then? Are you cheating on me?" Chris could see the tears starting to form in Will's eyes. "Sweetie, I would never cheat on you. I love you. I just had to go help Darren with something. It's fine. Trust me." Will gave Chris a hug. "Okay. I trust you. Let's go inside and eat." So Will and Chris went inside, ate dinner, watched a movie, took a shower together, and cuddled in bed before falling asleep. That night, after Will went to bed, Chris laid there, staring at the ceiling. The fan spinning round and around. He couldn't stop thinking about it. 'I can't believe Darren is going to have a child, and I'm the father. I can't believe something I made will be brought into this world.' That night, Chris stayed up on his laptop, finding girl and boy names for his unborn child.

The next day on set, Darren wasn't there. Chris just thought that he was at his appointment and decided not to come in afterwards. A couple more weeks went by, and Darren still didn't show up. After a month or so, Chris really started to get worried. He texted Darren everyday, and he responded, but when Chris would ask him why he wasn't coming to work, Darren would never say why...until he showed up unexpectedly to work. He came in looking exactly the same, only with a bigger stomach and baggier clothes on. "Darren!! Over here!!" Darren turned around to find Chris waving from across the set from the door of his dressing room. Darren waved back and walked over to Chris. Chris opened the door of his dressing room and helped Darren sit down. "Wow. You look..." "Pregnant?" They both giggled. "Yea, pregnant." Chris grabbed Darren's hand. "So, how have you been? Life treating you good?" Darren sat closer to Chris. "I told Mia a while ago that I'm gay. She was surprised at first, but now she supports me. We still live together, but we're just friends. I also told her that I was pregnant. She never asked who's baby it was, so I haven't told her. She's been going to all of the doctor appointments with me and helped me buy things to be prepared for our little bundle of joy," Darren started to gently rub his tummy. By this time, Darren was almost 6 months in. His looked really pregnant. Like REALLY pregnant. "So," Chris said. "What's the sex of our baby?" Darren looked up at Chris. "It's a baby girl. You gotta help me name her. Do you have any names in mind?" Chris got up, grabbed his laptop, and sat back down next to Darren. He turned it on and went to a bookmarked site of all the baby names he liked. "Well, I had narrowed it to a couple of names. There's Riley, Addison, Natalie, Jessica, Cassidy, Aubrey, Ella, Adeline, and a couple more," Chris said, showing Darren the list. "How about Natalie," Darren said. "I really like the sound of it." "Natalie Criss - Colfer... I like it, Darren." Darren smiled and gave Chris a kiss on the cheek. "What would her middle name be?" Chris took a minute, and then it hit him. He has always
loved this name, and it sounded so perfect. "Rose. Natalie Rose Criss - Colfer." Darren looked up at Chris. "Oh sweetie, that is the best name in the world!" Chris gave Darren a big hug and kiss. "I'm so happy that we are having a baby together!" They were so excited...until they heard a familiar voice behind them.
