It's white outside, the snow is slowly falling to the ground. I watch as my sister puts ornaments on the tree. "Did you really have to light that cinnamon candle though? It's giving me a headache." I say. She sighs annoyed. "Whatever your just pregnant. Deal with it." She says. "You know, I really thought you were a bitch before you were pregnant, but now I feel like, you were really nice then. You're a monster." She adds. I laugh and throw a candy cane at her, but I miss my target. "Exactly my point." She says. "Did you talk to Ty at all?" I ask. "Yep, he's supposed to be back on the 23rd. But guess what?" She says.
"What?" I ask.
"He has a girlfriend he never told us about. She's taking him to meet her family."
"What? No way." I say surprised.
"Mhm." Keri replies.
"It's Christmas though, she's taking him from us."
"They're coming here on the 29th. Ty said he's going to take us out to dinner. We were all supposed to go out and get fucked up but someone decided to get pregnant instead."
"Did you tell him?"
"Yeah, he said he's happy for you and that maybe this baby will set you straight. And that he can't wait to meet her/him."
"You fucker, I wanted to tell him."
"He said he'd give you a call later."
"Okay, what about them other fuckheads? Aneeri, Sonny, and Shane?" I ask. Aneeri, Sonny, and Shane are our other 3 brothers. Aneeri is the oldest, he owns a car dealership. He lives in the city with his wife and two kids. Shane is the second oldest, he's a cop and lives in Kansas with his wife. Ty is the third oldest, currently in the Marines. He's not the the type to settle down. He's usually focused on whatever it is he's doing. And lastly Sonny, he's the youngest of our brothers, still in college at South Dakota State majoring in business. He has a girlfriend, not sure how serious it is. And finally my parents were blessed with girls, me and my sister.

"Yes, Aneeri said to stop in when we can. Shane says " merry Christmas" and that he'll try to be back for a visit in the summer time. Sonny is going to spend Christmas at his house with his girlfriend. But he says "merry Christmas and happy new year" and for you to buy him those Ray Ban frames you owe him."
"Ha. Fuck that. I'll just tell him I forgot."
"You're a douche."
I laugh. "So when is Chris coming? He's going to be there for the next appointment right?"
"Yeah, he's coming the day after tomorrow."
"Whats going on with you two? Are you back together?"
"I don't know. I said I'd think about it."
"Well?"
"I'm gonna see if I still get the reaction of wanting to hit him, when he walks through the door. If I don't then, I guess we back on."
"You're stubborn. Just give it another try."
"I'll think about it." I say annoyed.

"Hey I just checked into my hotel." Chris calls and tells me.
"Okay the appointment is at 11:30 tomorrow." I remind him.
"Ok. Can I come see you?" He asks.
"Uhm.." I say hesitantly. "Sure. We're not doing anything anyway, Keri's got Santa's candy cane up her ass or something, so I'm sitting in my room bored."
He laughs. "Ok I'll be down."

Keri knocks on my bedroom door. "You have a visitor." She says. Chris walks in. I get up and give him a hug. "How goes it?" He asks. "Good. How were the roads?" I ask. "They were pretty bad." He replies.
"Did security know how to handle em?" I ask. "I don't know? No? We were driving slow as fuck." He laughs. "What are you doing?" He asks. "Nothing, just got out of the shower, brushing my hair out and listening to music." I reply. "Thinking about life." I add jokingly. He laughs.
"What're you listening to?" He asks. I unplug my head phones, "changes" by tupac plays. "You listen to tupac?" I ask. "Yeah, I listened to some of his music." He replies. "Awesome, his music is classic. He doesn't really rap about getting money and bitches, like the rappers do these days. Music just went to shit. I think Eminem is the only one still holding it down." I say. "Right. I listened to Eminem back in my stoner days." He says. I look at him and we laugh. "I must admit I do like a few dumb songs from today." I say. "Let me listen to one." He says. I pick up my phone and play "my way" by Fetty Wap featuring Drake. We sit and listen. I start singing along.. "Take you where you want to goOoOo, flexing on your ex I knoOoOow... " I stumble across my words purposely, I keep going making hand gestures and dances that rappers make and do when they rap. "Baby won't you come my waaaay" I continue and rap along to drakes verse flawlessly, and doing Drake hands the whole time. I stop and look at him. We start laughing. "Now I'm really going to have that song stuck in my head." He says. "Yeah, I'm bored." I say. "Clearly." He laughs. "That performance was.." He gives me a thumbs up. I laugh. "Have you ever looked into rapping?" He asks sarcastically, giving me a funny look. "You know I actually was, when I was like fifteen or sixteen." I say jokingly.
"Should've stuck with it." He says.
"Ha, shuttup." I push him.
We sit in silence for a while as I finish brushing my hair. "I never noticed how long your hair was. Can I french braid it?" He asks. I stop and look at him. "Are you friggin serious?" I laugh. "Yeah." He takes a bite of an apple he brought with him. "This is weird. But Ok." I say. He gets behind me and asks for my rubber band. "Don't get my hair sticky!" I say. "I'm not." He laughs and begins braiding my hair. His hands feel good in my hair. I begin to grow tired. "Ok." He puts the rubber band on. I get up and look in the mirror. "What the fuck? How is this better looking than the way I french braid?! I hate you." I say. He laughs. "Felt good when your hands were in my hair though." I say as I sit back down on the bed. He begins running his fingers through the sides of the braid. "Can you show me again?" He asks. I automatically know what he's talking about as he's asked many times to see it over facetime. I reach in my nightstand drawer and grab the sonogram and show him. I look up at him and he's smiling. "That's crazy, we made that." He says. I laugh a little. "Mhm." I say my eyes growing heavy. I fall asleep.

I wake up needing to use the restroom badly. Chris is sleeping next to me, snoring. I sit up for a second, reach for the lamp and turn it on. Chris stops snoring. I look back to see if he's still sleeping.. He is.
I come back in quietly from the bathroom. I hear Chris clear his throat. "What time is it?" He asks, his voice raspy. "Ohh fuck!" I say startled. "You fucking scared me, uhm its liiike..." I look at my phone. " 6 in the morning." I reply. "Ohh, we went sleep early last night." He says.
"Yeah, I was tired. You're the lightest sleeper ever, for someone who doesn't get to sleep much."
"I've gotten used to it. Kinda sucks."
"I bet."
"Kamryn, can we just give our relationship another try?"
"I mean.... I guess we can."
"Yes?"
"Yee-- yeah.."
"YESS!"
"Shuttup, Keri is still asleep." I nudge him.
"Ohh, sorry.. YES!" He whispers. We laugh. He grabs me and pulls me close to him. "When do you have to be back on set?" I ask. "Uhm not till the day after tomorrow, we're actually almost done filming. The first preview comes out next month, I think? I'm not sure. Anyway, we take a little break for the holidays." He tells me. "What are you doing for Christmas and all that?" I ask. "I don't know? What are we doing?" He asks. "Shuttup, you really coming here?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure, if its okay with you?"
"You don't wanna spend it with your family?"
"I could see them before I head back, my mom actually wanted to talk to you and apologize."
"Ehh, I don't know about that."
"I'll tell her you'll talk to her when you're ready."
"I ain't talking to her." I say angrily.
"Why?"
"She obviously has a problem or something with me, she had to beg you to go back to your busted up marriage."
"She just wanted what she thought was best. She didn't want me living in regret or whatever. It's over now. Whats done is done. Let's just dust our hands off and start anew."
"I'll talk to her. On my terms. I ain't holding back on nothing, I'm gonna say what's on my mind."
"That's fine."
"Alright then. My brother Ty, is coming back for Christmas. I'm kinda scared for you to meet him. He heard what happened."
"Are we gonna fight?" He jokes. "I'm kinda scared too."
"No. What the fuck? your about the same size as him, muscle wise, I don't know? You might be bigger. And hes shorter. So there's no need to be scared."
"He's a marine, they're trained to kill."
"His girlfriend is coming with him, I doubt he's gonna act a fool in front of her."
"Whew. Ok." He jokes, wiping his forehead as if he were wiping sweat off.
"You play too much. But I like it."
We both laugh. "Well, we should get ready, its a big day!" I say.
"I waited a whole month for this. I been ready." He says.

We get into the doctors office. They make me piss in a cup and they draw blood. The doctor comes in and measures my stomach and we get to hear the heartbeat again. "Ok, Kamryn, we're going to do a culture check on your cervix to check for any abnormalities with your cervix, so we'll basically be doing a pap smear." The doctor says. I look over at Chris scared. He laughs "you'll be fine." He rubs my back. "We'll also be checking for STD's and anything else that may harm baby." The doctor says. I look at Chris. "I better not come out positive for anything, or else." I make a fist at Chris. He laughs and crosses his fingers. The doctor laughs. "You better be kidding." I say. "I aamm. You know me." He says. "We'll see." I say. "Ok lay back, place your feet up here." He touches the stirrups. I place my feet on the stirrups. The doctor begins the procedure. "Ok, your going to feel a little pressure, just relax." He tells me. I grab Chris' hand and squeeze. "Oww" he says. "If this hurts you, I just want you to know this is nothing compared to the baby that you're going to be pushing out." The doctor says. He's finally done with the procedure. "You might feel a little cramping, feel free to take Tylenol, but never take ibuprofen, its not good for the baby." He tells me. I nod. "Other than that baby is fine and we'll get you those results back in 3 days. We'll also get you set up for another appointment. Any questions?" The doctor asks. "No." I say and look at Chris, he shakes his head. "Ok, I'll get you an appointment set up a month from now." He writes the date and time again. I show Chris. He nods.

Chris' security are here to pick him up to take him back to finish filming. "I'll see you over the holidays." He says. I nod. He pulls me in closer to him and we kiss. "I love you." He says. "I love you too." I reply. "Later Keri!" He yells loudly, waving at Keri, it startles me. "See you Chris!!!" She yells back loudly. "You guys are assholes." I say. They laugh. "Okay baby, see you." He says. "Ok, see you." I say. "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to whoever that is in there." He points at my stomach. I push him. We kiss one more time and he leaves.
