"Are you sure you don't want to make him Captain America?" My best friend Chris Evans asked my 5-year-old son.

We were at Build-a-Bear for his birthday present from Chris. Chris was my best friend from high school and when I got pregnant a few years ago and the dad skipped town Chris was always there for me, especially when I gave birth, he was in the room with me.

We tried dating in high school, but it never worked out and we were better as friends. So, he was Uncle Chris to my son and my son loved Chris so much.

"No Uncle Chris! I want that one!" Carter, my son said pointing to an outfit for his bear. I was trying to hide my laugh.

"Stop enjoying this!" Chris mumbled to me.

"It's too funny." I laughed as Chris grabbed the Superman outfit for Carters bear. Carter went over to the changing station, and we followed him.

"So, you still okay to go with me in a week?" Chris asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, Lisa is going to watch Carter while I'm gone." I said and Chris smiled.

"I'm excited you finally get to go with me. Some of these award shows can be boring but getting to go with a friend, I'm over the moon about that." Chris said and kissed my cheek and I smiled.

"Yeah, I'm nervous though. I mean everyone else has gone with you before, I never have." I said and Chris shrugged.

"It's no big deal. We will be there the night before to get everything worked out and then the awards show and then home the next morning." Chris said and I nodded.

"Sounds good." I smiled.

"Mama! Uncle Chris! Look! It's Superman!" Carter exclaimed as he finished dressing him. He held him up triumphantly. Chris smiled but slightly shook his head and I laughed but leaned down and kissed Carters cheek.

"He looks amazing buddy." I said. Carter then walked up to Chris.

"Uncle Chris, what do you think?" Carter asked and I just looked at Chris.

"He's awesome buddy." Chris said and picked Carter up.

We went through the rest of the motions of naming the bear, which Carter picked Captain Superbear with I laughed to myself about.

We left Build-a-Bear and headed to lunch with Chris. He was really spoiling Carter. As we sat at lunch we talked about plans and everything for the BAFTAs.

Soon Chris was taking us home after being out all day and he stayed per Carter's request to watch some movies and then tuck him in for bed. As Chris was leaving for the night I walked him to the door.

"So, I know I will talk to you before then, but we will be here on Thursday to pick you up." Chris said and I nodded.

"Can't wait, also I don't know if Carter thanked you, but I will thank you for today." I said and he shook his head.
