Fatal: Part 3 (The Grand Finale)

Chapter 28

A/N: I didn't update yesterday like I was supposed to, did I? *facepalm* I so sorry you guys this has just been a really long week.

Time Leap. June 21st.

McKayla walks into the house after work. She was ready to start maternity leave. She only had a couple more days of work and she was excited to be off for a while. The big day was approaching and McKayla really wanted to be able to prepare for it.

McKayla kicked off her shoes. Her feet were swollen so she had to get converse an entire size bigger. Her hands weren't too bad, but she could no longer wear her engagement or wedding ring. McKayla sets her things down and sighs.

"Hey, Kayla."

McKayla gasps and turns around. There stood Chris.

"What are you doing here?! I thought you didn't come back until tomorrow!" McKayla exclaims.

"I got an earlier flight and came to surprise you."

"Oh my God!" McKayla laughs, hugging him. Chris wraps his arms around his now very pregnant wife and kisses her sweetly. When they come apart, Chris takes both of McKayla's hands and smiles.

"How are my wife and baby doing?"

"We're good. I'm really ready for him to come out though."

"I'm sure you are. Just a little while longer."

"I know. I'm really nervous about the c-section though. Recovery after a c-section is like, way longer and harder than the recovery after a natural birth."

"I know, babe. I hate that I have to leave you again so soon after the birth."

"Honey, both our moms live within twenty minutes of us; if I need any help, I'll have it. Plus, it's not like my mom is gonna leave my side for more than a few minutes after you leave anyway."

"I know. I just wish I could be around to help you more."

"Christopher. You're touring with Lamb of God and Slipknot. I guarantee you will have much more fun doing that than getting woken up five times a night by a crying baby."

"Ohh, I suppose you're right there." Chris says before kissing McKayla's cheek, "I love you."

"I love you too." McKayla says. She sits down and sighs.

Chris chuckles and sits next to her, "How ya doin', babe?"

"I'm tired."

"Don't expect that to change any time soon." Chris says, "You're not wearing your rings." He states.

"That's 'cause my hands are too fat for them to fit! And my feet are swollen as Hell! I had to go out and buy shoes an entire size bigger!"

"I'm sorry, babe. The swelling should go down though. And it'll all be worth it."

"I know...Can you believe in just three days, we're gonna be parents?"

"No, I can't. It's crazy." Chris admits.

"Yeah..." McKayla agrees before rubbing her belly, "Soon, little guy."

June 24th.

"Ohh, Kaaayyyllaaaa..." Chris sings.

McKayla giggles and opens her eyes as Chris kisses her cheek. She looks up at Chris, who was smiling down at her.

"You ready to go have a baby today?" Chris asks.

McKayla smiles, "You know it."

Chris quickly kisses her, then continues, "You wanna shower first?"
