Y/N's POV

As I walked through the front door after another long and exhausting shift at work, I could already feel the tension and stress melting away. I knew Chris would be taking Grayson to his doctor's appointment for his cystic fibrosis, and I was eager to hear how it went.

But as I entered the living room, my heart sank. Chris was sitting on the couch, holding Grayson who looked fussy and uncomfortable. I could tell something was wrong immediately.

"Hey, babe, you're back early
How did the appointment go?" I asked, trying to keep my tone light despite the sinking feeling in my stomach.

Chris's face fell as he looked up at me. "The appointment was today? I'm so fucking sorry baby, I-I forgot," he said quietly, guilt written all over his face.

My heart felt like it stopped in that moment. How could he forget something so important?

"Hey little man, let's put you down for a nap." I spoke gently as I placed him on my hip, making my way upstairs.

I quickly put Grayson down for a nap before turning my attention back to Chris. "How could you forget, Chris? Grayson needs these appointments, he needs that medication. Now I have to take time off work to try and get him in on an emergency appointment."

Chris looked up at me, his eyes filled with regret. "I'm sorry, baby. I just...I've been so overwhelmed lately with filming and staying with Grayson all day. You're never home, and I just...I messed up. I'm sorry."

Tears stung my eyes as I felt a wave of exhaustion, anger, and stress wash over me. "I'm working 12-hour shifts Chris, taking care of Grayson, taking care of you, hell I even tame care of Matt and Nick. I can't do it all, Chris. I need your help."

Chris stood up and wrapped his arms around me, trying to offer comfort. But in that moment, I couldn't handle it. I pushed him away, hitting his chest as I tried to break free from his hug.

"Let me go, Chris," I cried, my voice breaking. "I'm so fucking sorry Y/N." He didn't let go. Instead, he held me tighter as I collapsed into his arms, sobbing from the weight of everything crashing down on me.

"I'm so sorry, princess. I'll make it right, I promise," Chris whispered, his own voice thick with emotion.

After a few moments of standing in each other's embrace, Chris gently guided me to the couch, where we sat together in silence. Eventually, he stood up and went upstairs to give Grayson his medicatio and some cuddles, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

A few minutes later, I followed Chris upstairs to check on Grayson. He was giving Grayson some chocolate pudding which had his medication mixed within it.

"Hey, is he okay?" I ask as Chris nodded, Grayson finally eating the last spoonful of chocolate pudding. I walked over to Grayson, scooping him up in my arms and giving him a tight cuddle. Chris came up behind me, wrapping his arms around both of us as we stood there in a silent embrace. Then suddenly, Chris started playing peekaboo with Grayson behind my shoulder. His giggles filled the room, and for a moment, all the stress and anger melted away.

"I booked an appointment for tomorrow, first thing in the morning," Chris said quietly, his voice filled with determination.

I nodded, feeling grateful for his effort to make things right. "Thank you, Chris," I whispered, grateful for his support in that difficult moment.
