It's Christmas, its just me, Keri, and Chris celebrating together. We get each other a present. I get a little back massager from Keri and I receive slippers from Chris. I shake my head at him. They laugh. "I got something else for you, but it has to wait." He tells me. "If you say so.." I reply. We eat the meal my sister and I prepared. My brothers call at different times to wish us "Merry Christmas". Our friends come over around 9pm, we exchange gifts, I introduce them to Chris, they act star struck at first, but begin to grow comfortable around him. We play this card game that was made up by the older folk, its a tradition to play on holidays with loved ones. It's also basically gambling. I teach Chris how to play. We eat desserts and laugh and joke as we play. They drink some. Chris is cracking jokes the whole time making everybody laugh. " Ugh, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard." One friend says as they wipe their eyes. They begin to play a drinking game. I watch as they all get drunk. After awhile of watching their shenanigans I grow tired and tell them I'm heading to bed. "I'm with her." Chris says and follows me. "Nooo Chris stay for a few more. Please?" They ask. He looks at me. I nod. He sits back down and rejoins them.
I'm in a deep sleep when I feel cold hands touch my stomach. I gasp, scared. I look up and its Chris leaning over me with his hands on my stomach. "Your hands are cold." I say. "Im sorry, I just wanted to feel baby." He tells me, his voice slurred. "Ugh, your drunk. Come to bed." I tell him. He stands up and takes his shirt and pants off. He reaches in his suitcase and grabs shorts. I turn on my side and he climbs in behind me and holds me. "I love you so, so, so, soooo much Kamryn." He tells me. "Your so drunk." I laugh. "I just wanted you to know that." He says. We drift off to sleep.
I wake up and smell something being cooked. I look at Chris, he's still sleeping, snoring loud. I get up and head into the kitchen. It's my sister reheating the chicken noodle soup from yesterday. "What the fack?" I say as I walk in. She looks at me as she sips her coffee. "Holy fuck Kamryn, I am hurting. Your man had us drinking tequila." She tells me. "Drink some more." I say sarcastically. "Oh my, ugh, never again. I don't know how he does it." She says. "Me either. I'm getting in on some of that soup though." I tell her. She nods her head. Chris walks in from the back 10 minutes later. "What happened?" He asks. Me and Keri look at each other and laugh. "YOU!" Keri points at Chris. "You fucker!" Keri says laughing. "What?" Chris asks. "You and your fucking tequila." She says. "Ohh, I know. I'm hurting too." He tells her. We all sit at the table and eat soup.
"Ugh, I ate too much." I say as I sit on the couch. Chris sits by me. "Looks like it." He touches my stomach. He lays his head on my lap, he's facing my stomach. "Hello? Are you full too?" He talks to my stomach, he puts his ear up against it. " Ok, I'll let her know." He looks at Keri. "Baby says to make some cinnamon rolls." He tells her. We laugh. Keri throws a couch pillow at him. "Man my head is pounding." He says and puts my hand on it. I rub his head while he checks his phone. "Hey, I got invited to a new years eve party. You down?" He asks. "For sure." I say.

"Hello? Anyone home?!" My brother Ty shouts. Keri is across the room from us, I look over into her room, we run into the kitchen together. My brother stands there as we run up and give him a hug. "This is Casey." His girlfriend comes out from behind him. She has blonde hair and looks a little like Kate Upton. "Hello, nice to meet you." We shake hands with her. "Kamryn, come here, let me see you." He says. I walk over. He touches my stomach. "Aww.." His girlfriend says. "Gettin there." He tells me. "When are you due?" His girlfriend asks me. "In June." I tell her. "A June baby, awesome. Im a June baby.." She tells me. "Ohh really?" I ask. "Mhm." She replies. "That's cool." I look at Ty. "I want you to meet someone." I head in the back and see Chris sitting on my bed checking his phone. "Come here" I say. He makes a funny nervous face. "Ty, this is my boyfriend Chris." Chris walks up to him and shakes his hand. "Nice to finally meet you." Chris says. "Likewise." My brother says. "Thanks for your service man." He tells Ty. "Yea of course." Ty smiles. "Chris Pratt?" Casey says. "Ohh, I'm sorry, this is my girlfriend, Casey." Ty introduces them. They shake hands. "I'm a big fan." She tells him. "Thanks." He says. "Parks and rec, Andy Dwyer." She laughs. "Yeah thanks, glad you enjoyed." He says. "Guardians of the galaxy. My nephews are obsessed. We just watched it back at home, actually. I never thought I'd see you here. This is awesome." She says. "Thanks again. Yeah, I'm here for her." He stands behind me. "Aww.. Y'all are expecting? Congratulations." She says. "Thanks." We both say. "I tried calling the house phone, but it says its disconnected?" My brother asks confused. "Yeah, we had to turn it off. People were calling non-stop, asking about Kamryn and Chris." Keri tells him. "Ohh that's crazy." Ty says. "Well I got reservations for 6 o'clock if you guys wanna get ready, we could leave." He tells us. Before we head in the back Ty tells Chris once again it was nice to meet him. "You too, bro." Chris says. We head to my bedroom. We get in the shower, get ready, and we're out the door.
We sit at the table and wait for our orders. Chris and my brother are talking about each others occupations. "So I had to hear about you and Kamryn's relationship, what I heard wasn't good brother, whats going on?" My brother asks. "Ohh everything is good now, and its gonna stay that way. I just had some family issues come up. My mom was basically begging me to give my previous relationship a second chance before I walked away. So, ahem, I did, for her though." Chris tells him. "Well that's not good seeing as Kamryn will be giving birth to her grandchild soon. If she has a problem with Kamryn its best they work it out." Ty tells Chris. "I totally agree. My mom actually was trying to apologize to Kamryn, but Kamryn wasn't ready to talk to her yet. But we have something set up for them to talk things out. " he tells Ty. "Ok. Sounds good. I just want to tell you this right now, if my sister ever calls me crying again over you... I'ma have to come looking for you." Ty threatens Chris. "I understand, but I assure you everything is going to be good from here on out." Chris says. "Sounds good, that's what I wanna hear. Take care of my sister and that baby. She's yours now. Y'all have my blessing in whatever you do." He tells Chris. "Absolutely. And thanks, bro. I appreciate it." He says. Ty nods and hands Chris, Keri, and Casey a shot. "Not you." Ty says to me. They all laugh. "Grab your lemonade." I grab it and we all cheers to "whatever the future may hold." our glasses clink. We all joke and laugh throughout the rest of the dinner. I tell Ty me and Chris are catching a flight tomorrow to California for a new years eve party. He nods. "Have fun and enjoy yourself. You'll love it. California is beautiful." He tells me. Chris nods in agreement.

We get up and rush around. We're headed out the door. We stop and say our good byes. Chris picks up Keri off the ground, hugging her. "Bye!!!" They both yell loudly. We laugh. Chris walks up to Ty and they hug. "Alright, brother. Take care of her." He reminds Chris. "Of course bro." Chris replies. Chris gives Casey a hug. She pulls out a 'guardians of the galaxy' poster and asks him to sign it for her nephews. He does. And we all take pictures together. We're finally out the door.

"You bring your prenatal vitamins?" He asks. "Yes." I reply. "Okay just checking." He stares out the plane window. "Remember when I said I had another present for you?" He asks. "Is this it?" I ask. He laughs. "No, I was gonna bring you here for something anyway. I just happened to get invited to a party here as well." He tells me. "Well what is it?" I ask. "You'll see." He tells me. An hour later we land. We get our bags and a car is waiting for us. We get in and he hands the driver an address. 15 minutes later we pull up to a huge house.
We get out. "What is this? Where are we?" I ask. "Come on." He grabs my hand. We go inside and its an empty house. I look at him. "Wait.. Are you.. Did you.." I say struggling to get my words out. "Yes." He says. "This is ours." He tells me. "It's beautiful." I begin to cry. "Aww, baby." He puts his arms around me and kisses me on my forehead. "Wait doesnt your ex wife get half of every thing you own if you're getting a divorce?" I ask. "No, we had our marriage anulled. She heard about the baby and thought it'd be wrong to do that." He tells me. "It's all ours. Whenever you're ready to move in." He says. "What about Keri? I can't just leave her." I say concerned. "She can live in the guest house." He says. "We can even keep your old house and fix it up. We can go there whenever we feel like going off the grid." He tells me. I nod. Speechless. "This is our house!" I say excitedly. "I wanna move in before baby gets here." I tell him. "Ok." He says. I call Keri and tell her. I send her pictures. She's on board. She says we'll get started packing when I return.

The next night Chris and I head to the party. We meet up with his old cast mates, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista. Their spouses are with them. "Hey!" Chris waves at them. "Heeyy!" They all say. They all give each other hugs. He introduces me. "Nice to meet you." They all say and shake my hand. "Ohh, guess what I put in here." He rubs my stomach. They laugh. "Aww congratulations!" Zoe says to us. "Congratulations, brother." Dave says to Chris. They hug. "Congratulations, miss." He says to me. I thank him. "Whens the due date?" Zoe asks. We tell her. "Ohh my gosh Chris. Your going to be a good daddy I can already tell." She says. Chris puts his hand on his chest and runs a finger down his face as if its a tear. Zoe laughs. "Thank you." He says. "Is this your first child?" She asks me. "Yeah, it is." I say. "You must be nervous." She touches my knee. "Yeah, I don't know what to expect." I tell her. "That's exactly how I felt. But you'll be okay." She tells me. "How's being pregnant been so far for you?" She asks. "Fine so far. The morning sickness sucks. And the heartburn. But Chris has been helping me get through it." I tell her. "Aww, he's such a good sport isn't he?" She says. "Yes. I'm glad to have him." I say. "Wait till you go in to have the baby. The experience is beautiful. You'll be so in love and attached to your baby." She tells me. "I'm kinda scared for that part. But I definitely can't wait to meet baby." I say. "You'll be fine. You guys are gonna be great parents I can tell." She says. "Thank you." I say. We continue to talk through out the night. Dave's wife joins us. As usual Chris is making everybody laugh.

We get back to the hotel at 3am. We get dressed for bed and lay down. Chris is drunk. He begins rubbing on me. We make love. "I can't come." Chris says. I laugh. "Your dicks drunk. You got whiskey dick. Get off me." I say. He gets off. We lay there and talk. "Zoe really liked you. She told me she was glad I brought you, she thought it was just gonna be her and Dave's wife." He laughs. "Ohh that's nice. I enjoyed her company. She gave me a lot of advice." I say. "We definitely need to link up with them again." He says. I agree. Soon enough, we're sleeping.
Chris heads back to Nebraska with me and spends the day with me. He catches a a flight back to Hawaii the next day. Me and Keri begin our packing.
