Leah and her soldier

Meeting up with Emily

I walk into the cafe and go over to the table "thanks for coming, I got you a tea" "thank you but I'm not happy that I'm going behind Chris' back Emily" "I know Leah and I know you have every right to walk out of this door and forget I even exist but I need to speak to her." I sigh "you know Emily the last thing you said to her before cutting her out of your life was I can't watch this anymore and that was on our wedding night" "I know I've been a complete dick" "yeah you have, she has been through so much I can't see her hurt anymore" "what's been going on?" "I think that's for Chris to tell you if she wants to not me" "is it bad?" "Yeah pretty bad, Emily just so you know if Chris says she wants nothing to do with you I'm sticking to her wishes I'm not losing my wife for you or anyone else for that matter is that clear?" "Crystal and if she says she wants nothing I promise she will never hear from me."

I sit there thinking "what are you thinking Leah?" "God she is going to hate me, come on let's go" "where are we going?" "To see Chris" "ok thank you" "oh don't thank me yet we don't know how she is going to react to this." We get in the car and I start driving home "Leah why are you doing this for me?" "I'm not I'm doing this for Chris I don't want her to have any regrets" "I still appreciate it." We pull up at the house "fuck what am I doing?" "I do appreciate this Leah" I sigh "come on." I walk into the house and I hear Chris in the sitting room "omg that was the cutest sneeze ever, you're so stinking cute." I go into the sitting room "uh hum aren't you supposed to be working?" "Lunch break isn't that right gorgeous" "at 10am?" "Breakfast break?" "Ok and what did you have for breakfast?" "A whole bowl of snuggly cuteness isn't that right bubs, yes we are having snuggles" "how long has she been like this for Michelle?" "45 minutes."

I walk over and take Zade from Chris "hey what's the deal?" "The deal is one you're supposed to be working and 2 someone is here to see you." Chris sits up and looks at the door "what the hell do you think you're playing at Leah?" "Look I need you to not have regrets talk to her then if you still want nothing to do with her I am with you always" "you never do something without reason so yeah ok I will do this" "thank you baby."

~Chris' POV~
I look at Emily "come on then because this won't take long." I walk to the office and Emily follows me "thank you for talking to me Chris" "I didn't do it for you" "I know but I still appreciate it Chris." "So?" "Chris I'm so so so so sorry" "you know everyone keeps saying this to me lately how about if people stop shit to either hurt or piss me off people wouldn't have to keep saying sorry, but you though you took it to a whole other level" "I know and I could try and make up shitty excuse after shitty excuse but the what's the point? I fucked up in the biggest way" "yeah you did! You know it's not even the fact that you slept with Tony I'm pissed that you cut me out of your life even when I sent you a photo of Zade when he was born I still got nothing from you, I would of been there for you Emily it's not like I've not made mistakes is it" "yeah but you never got pregnant from yours" "well you were saying that you wanted a kid" "not like this Chris, I wanted me and Lia to get married and have a family together" "your still not over Lia?" "How can I be I've never been in love like that before now I know what you went through when Leah left you" "jeez thanks for that." "You know what I mean Chris and seeing her at your wedding all loved up I was hurting bad so I got drunk and made a stupid fucking mistake." "she's single again" "who?" "Lia, her and Caitlin split up and Caitlin's now with McCabe" "really?" "Yeah" "oh right yeah erm" "yeah you look devastated about that." "Chris how can we move forward from this?" "Hold on who said I want to move on from this Emily?" "Please Chris I need you, my baby needs their aunty Chris, please I'm scared I can't do this by myself."

I just sit there and think "what are you thinking about Chris?" "I'm thinking I'm too fucking soft, it's going to take time to get back to where we were" "you're giving me another chance?" "Your very last chance emz and I mean it" "I won't need another I promise." I nod my head "so baby, boy? Girl? Or surprise?" "Currently a surprise I don't know if I want to know the sex" "what's your mum said?" "Mainly to just try and get in touch with you because you would know what to do" "how the hell would I know what to do I've never been pregnant?" "Because you have your head screwed on" "are you still in Glasgow?" "No I transferred back" "good well that's a start" "but I'm currently living with mum and Sam" "bet that's fun" "Sam won't keep off my belly I swear I'm going to kill her" "don't touch the belly got it."
