The Assistant (Chris Pratt Love story)

Chapter 42

Chris just stood there, with his head resting against my forehead. I guess, we just enjoyed being close to each other again.

He slowly pulled away and looked at me.

"Jack will be so happy." Chris said with the happiest smile on his face.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

"How have he been?" I asked curiously.

"He's been good." Chris answered.

"But he asked a lot about you." He added, with a serious look on his face.

"Really?" I said surprised.

"Yeah." Chris said, looking deep into my eyes.

"We could go and pick him up?" Chris suggested.

I chuckled happily in agreement.

"I guess that's a yes." Chris laughed, before he took my hand and dragged me along.

"Wait." I said after a few steps, when I realized I forgot something.

"I have an appointment at the doctors in an hour." I said with a blank expression on my face.

Chris looked confused and shocked at me.

I decided to be honest with him.

"I was going to get an abortion." I said quietly.

Chris's expression changed, to a mix of confusion and anger.

His look, made my whole body tense.
"I couldn't handle it on my own. I didn't want to raise a child on my own." I tried to explain, with tears welling up in my eyes.

Chris's expression changed again.

He took a step closer to me, and gently stroke my cheek, while he pulled me closer to him, with his free hand.

He looked at me, with eyes full of love and understanding.

"You won't be alone anymore. It's our baby now." He said quietly, still stroking my cheek, with his thumb.

His words, made a warm smile spread across my face.

Chris placed a soft kiss on my forehead before he took a step back.

"I'll just call the doctor, and see if I can change it to an ultrasound." I suggested.

Chris nodded and smiled in agreement.

"If we hurry, we could pick up Jack and bring him?" I suggested, as I dialed the number on my phone, making an even warmer smile spread across his face.

We drove to Anna's house to pick up Jack. Chris called Anna, to let her know that we were coming.

I couldn't wait to see him again.

I walked up the driveway, hand in hand, with Chris.

Suddenly the frontdoor opened and Jack burst through it.

"Daddy! Melissa!" He yelled excitedly as he ran towards us.

I shared a quick smile with Chris, before I kneeled down.

Jack ran directly into my arms, with such a force, I almost lost my balance.

"Hey buddy." I chuckled happily, before I hugged him tightly.

"I missed you." I said quietly, still hugging him.

We got Jack into the car, and drove off.

I shared a look with Chris, as he turned off the car, on the parking lot, before we both turned to Jack.

"Daddy, are you taking me to the doctor?" Jack asked nervously, after he looked out of the window.

"No. Melissa is going to the doctor." Chris answered, before he looked at me.

Chris turned his eyes back to Jack, before he spoke again.

"You're going to be a big brother, in some time." Chris said happily.

Jack's eyes widened in confusion, but a smile soon spread across his face.
