It hurts (14)

"Alright, what is the news?" Chris asks while placing his hands on his hips.

"Your son is doing good. He's sleeping in his room but he still is on some machines, just to make sure he's okay. You can visit him now." I didn't hesitate to walk into his room.

My baby was hooked up to all these kinds of machines and breathing through a mask. It took a lot out of me to not just break down right then and there.

"Oh my baby." I say as I sit down in the chair next to him. I grab his hand and kiss the top of it.

Chris walked in and gasped when he saw Matthew. He sat down on Matthew's other side and ruffled his hand through his hair.

"Hey buddy." He said quietly, his voice filled with pain and regret. "It's Dad, I'm here. You're save with us, with Mom and I. You're gonna be okay because you're with us. And we're not leaving anytime soon bubs."

He continued to talk to Matthew, even though he's still asleep. I kinda zoned out and watched Chris as he talked.

This is the Chris I fell in love with.

This is the Chris I remember.

The Chris who would lay in bed with me the entire day just because my period was hard and I couldn't do anything.

The Chris who gladly carried our three kids around a zoo because all of them were tired and my back was fucked from all those dance rehearsels.

The Chris who would bawl his eyes out at night because our kids were growing up so fast.

The Chris who still was so sweet and gentle with me even after a fight.

The Chris who couldn't say no to our babies and spoiled them with toys and stuffed animals.

"Emma? Are you okay?" I got snapped out of my trance as Chris spoke to me.

"Y-Yeah I was just thinking about stuff."

"About wha-" Chris couldn't finish his sentence because Ryan walked in with a now awake Cooper who was crying.

"Oh what's wrong buddy?" I say as Ryan placed him in my lap.

"Is Matthew still alive?"

I chuckled at him and brushed some of his hair out of his face. "Of course he is. You hear the machine beep?"

"Yes."

"That means Matthew's heart is still beating strong."

Cooper was quiet and listened to the beeping for a while to calm down.

"I'm gonna go home, you want me to bring Riley here or should we keep her for the night?" Ryan asked.

"Can you keep her for the night please? If you can't I completely understand."

"No we can, keep us updated please. Or else we both won't fall asleep."

"Of course. Thank you for everything."

"You're welcome Em." And with that Ryan left, not even saying bye to Chris. I mean Ryan told me very clearly he was on my side, but I do feel bad for Chris.

Ryan was his best man at our wedding, and now Ryan is ignoring him. That must sting.

"Is that Daddy?" Cooper whispers, giving me a sad look.

"Yes, you want to hug him?"

"Yes. Is that okay?"

"Of course that's okay bubs." He climbed off of my lap and walked over to Chris. He spread his arms out, waiting to be lifted up into his lap.
