You broke me for nothing...

Chapter 69

Kate pov...

"Kate?" Chris says walking into the living room. I was reading a book. We had a relaxing day today after our shopping trip and date yesterday. Chris had been working in the garden this morning. I had been reading outside for a bit but i was uncomfortable due to the heat so i decided to go inside and enjoy the air conditioning. 

I look up and smile, but my smile quickly disappears as i see the worried look on Chris his face... He looks like he can burst out in tears at any moment. "What is wrong?" I ask a little anxious. I look at his hands and he is carrying his phone in one hand. It looks like he has a death grip on the thing. 

"I am so sorry..." He whispers barely audible and i am confused... "You're sorry?" I ask and put my book down... For a moment i freeze as i think it is going to happen all over again. The look on his face is one of agony and for a split second... Just a split second i think he is going to leave me again... "The news of the pregnancy is out... Pictures of us at the baby store and restaurant have been leaked..." He says swallowing away a lump in his throat. 

I dont know why but a wave of relief washes over me and i feel my whole body relax... "Oh... Well... That was bound to happen..." I say letting out a deep sigh. I mean what did he expect. We went out in public and i had not really been hiding my bump... I had not put on something baggy and i had been rubbing my belly out in public all the time. "You are not mad?" He asks making me snap out of my thoughts. I chuckle as i look at Chris. He looks a little lost. I stretch out my hand to him. He takes it and i pull him on the couch with me. 

"No... I am not mad... Why would i be mad...? I know that it would come out sooner or later... We were not really hiding it yesterday..." I say and i see Chris relax a little. "It will be okay..." I say and pull him in my arms laying down... Chris snakes his arms around me and holds me tight... I smile and run my hand through his hair, and he hums... "I just wanted you to have a stress-free pregnancy..." He mumbles and i smile. "Chris, you can't protect me from everything..." I hum as i massage his scalp. "I know... But i want to..." He sighs and i chuckle. "Chris i know what comes with your life... There is a price to pay for being adored by millions of women all over the world..." I say with a dramatic sigh but a smirk on my face and Chris looks up. His face is bright red, and it makes me laugh... 

"Am not..." He says pouting like a little boy. I laugh and hug him a little tighter. "You are... And i can't blame them... You are fucking handsome and a real gentleman..." I say smirking and he lifts his head. His face is still bright red... "You know i only have eyes for you, right?" He asks and i smile and kiss him. "I know... I am not worried about that... Like i said... I understand all those women... You are amazing.... I wish all women could have a man like you..." I say sweetly smiling at him... He smiles back at me... "You are the one that is amazing... You know... People would love you to... You could be a great actress..." He says and i laugh... "Oh god no... I would be terrible." I say and he shakes his head. "No... You would be great... You are great... Whenever you rehearse lines with me, i am in awe of you..." He says and i blush... "Yeah well... I am not an actress... I will never be... I could never, i think i would be doubled over laughing all the time, because i dont think i could get some lines out.... I still dont know how you did the whole Steve Rogers thing without breaking down every 5 seconds..." I say and he smirks... "Who said i didn't..." He grins and i chuckle... "Okay, fair point...  But still... You owned that role... Just like Downey is Iron man, you are Captain America..." I say and he turns bright red again... 

"I think it would be fun, working with you..." Chris says and i  chuckle... "Fun for you... nightmare for others..." I say and take a deep breath... "What do you think of the name Cassie, if it is a girl..." I say changing the subject as i dont want him to pull me into his work world. "Cassie?" Chris asks and i nod. The look on his face says it all. He does not like it. "It is okay if you dont like it..." I say and Chris takes a deep breath. "Sorry... I am not feeling it..." He says and i smile. I dont like the name Cassie either, but i was dying to change the subject and it was the first name i could come up with... 

"I have a name, for when it is a girl..." Chris says a little unsure peaking my interest... "What is it?" I ask and he smiles a little shyly... "Chris?" I say smirking and he turns even a brighter color red. "What is it?" I say getting curious. "Belle..." He whispers and i chuckle... "Seriously?" I ask and he nods... "After a Disney princess?" I ask and he nods... "Fine, we will put it on the maybe list..." I say smiling as i think it is cute and his smile grows even bigger. "Really?" He asks and i nod... "The maybe list... I have to let it sink in." I say and he smiles and kisses me... "Cant wait to find out what we are having..." He says and i smile and nod. "Me too..." I say and kiss him again...

"I have another thing, i wanted to talk to you about..." Chris says and i look at him confused. "What?" I ask a little unsure as i see his face turn serious. "I did not snoop or anything... But yesterday when i put your phone on the charger i saw a lot of anonymous missed calls..." He says and i freeze...
