It was another long, tiring, and exciting day of Warped Tour. Once the day was over, the band finished up as usual - lading the trailer, packing up, etc. Chris looked down at his phone and walked onto the bus and into the back lounge. He puts the phone to his ear and waits for the sound of McKayla's voice.

"Hello?"

Chris smiles, "Hi, baby."

"Hi, love! How was it today?"

"Uh, we were the best band there - duh." Chris jokes.

McKayla laughs, "I'm sure you were. I'm happy you guys are doing so well."

"What's going on at home? Anything new or interesting in the world of Kayla McClain?"

"Well, actually..."

"What?"

"I just got the call about fifteen minutes ago. I have a job now."

"Seriously? Doing what?"

"I'm mentoring at the Boys and Girls' club. I start tomorrow."

"That's great, baby. It just sucks that when I get back I'm not gonna have you to myself all day."

"You'll have me all to yourself on weekends and holidays."

Chris sighs, dramatically, "Ohh, I suppose that'll do."

McKayla laughs, "Are the fans excited about the new album and tours?" She asks, changing the subject.

"Uh uh. All of us are too. It's definitely our best album yet. Ooh, while I'm thinking about it, let me email the songs to you. You've only heard the one so far, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well I can tell you right now, you're gonna love the rest of them."

McKayla wakes up the next morning and blinks a couple of times. She couldn't wait until she was waking up in her husband's arms rather than in a big, cold bed all by herself. He'd be home soon though, and McKayla was beyond excited.

McKayla looks through the notifications on her phone. When she looks in her email, Chris had sent the album to her. She smiled, excited to hear it.

McKayla then sat up and stood. She then decided she should probably start getting ready for work. She'd listen to the album on the way there. It was a good half hour drive so she should be able to complete it by the time she returned home tonight.

After she showered, McKayla got dressed and put on her wig. She puts her fake hair up into a ponytail and puts on some light makeup. She then grabs her purse and everything else she needs, then heads out.

McKayla got in the car and connected her phone to the blue-tooth in her car. She then went to the album Chris had sent her and selected the first song, 'Death March'. The first thing she heard was a loud, siren-like sound followed by a very deep, heavy bass and guitar. She already liked this...

Later that evening.

"It was a little intimidating since it was my first day, but I think it went well. You know how it is; you had like what, a thousand jobs when you were a teenager?"

"And I got fired from every single one." Chris says proudly, on the other side of the phone, "I'm happy you had a good day though."

"It was really good. And I listened to the album on the way to and back from work."

"What'd you think?"

"Oh, Chris, it was so great! I loved 'Puppets 3'. It's good to know you're putting those things behind you."

"I put them behind me a long time ago. I just figured there had to be some kind of resolution lyrically for the fans that have kind of been following along with the 'story', you know?"

"Of course."

"I'm really happy with 'Wasp' too. That's definitely the one I'm the most proud of."

"I loved it too. It was very...sexy...God, I miss you."

"I miss you too, baby. But I'll be back before you know it." Chris assures her.

Warped Tour was good. Every MIW fan that had a social media page was talking about their anticipation for Reincarnate. McKayla was anticipating Chris' return more than anything though. She was happy with the new job and was no longer bored during the days without Chris. Everything seemed like it was finally starting to turn around...

At last, the day finally came that Chris would be returning home. McKayla ran out of the building at six o'clock that evening and to her car. She fumbled with her keys and got into the car. She sped off from the building, incredibly excited to see her husband.

When she finally gets home, McKayla runs into the house with a smile on her face.

"Chris! Chris?!" She calls.

There was no answer. Was Chris not home yet?"

A pair of hands suddenly go over McKayla's eyes, blinding her.

"Boo."

McKayla laughs, then turns around, "Chris!" She exclaims before hugging him, "I'm so happy you're home!"

"I'm happy too, baby." Chris says before kissing her, sweetly.

After a few more kisses exchanged, they go into the bedroom and Chris flops down on the bed.

"I'm tired." He states.

"Yeah, I am too. Let's just lay down and watch a movie. I'm gonna throw on a sweatshirt." McKayla says. She goes to the dresser to grab a sweatshirt. She turns her back to Chris and takes off her shirt. She was in a lacy black bra and a very obvious thong that rose above her jeans.

Chris immediately sits up, "You know on second, I'm really not that tired."

McKayla giggles and turns to face Chris. She removes her wig and sets it down, then steps forward and crawls into bed with Chris. Her hair was finally starting to grow out the way she wanted. Chris pins her down on the bed and his eyes darken. He smirks.

"It's good to be home." Chris says before kissing McKayla.

A/N: So Chris is home! The next chapter will start out cute but MIGHT also be a bit of a tear jerker so just be warned ;)
