The Exchange Student

Telling Wes...

"Yeah, I'll fly back when he's all better and ready to go." I said to my mom over the phone.

"Okay, call me when you think your going to come back to Chicago." My mom said.

"I will mom, I have to go I'll call you later." I said.

"Okay, be safe and I love you." My mom said.

"I love you too." I said then sighed.

"Was it your mom?" Sav asked.

"Yeah, she's just wondering if we'll be back for Christmas." I replied.

"Who knows with Bryce's condition right now..." Sav said and I nodded in agreement.

Sam came out of the room and I stood up from my chair.

"He's fine, he just had a really bad allergic reaction to squid but he's fine. He's looking for you so you can go on in." Sam said and I nodded then went inside and closed the door.

"Mama..." Bryce said and I walked up to him and sat down in the stool a tear slipping down my cheek.

"Are you okay?" I asked wrapping him into a hug and kissing his cheek.

"I'm okay, mama. I'm glad your here though." Bryce said and I smiled then hugged him again and petted his hair and kissed his cheek again.

"Don't scare me like that ever again, Bryce." I teased and he nodded then gave me a smile.

"I love you, baby." I said and he hugged me again.

"Get some rest, sweetheart. I'll be back in a second." I said and he laid down again and I left the room.

"Is he okay?" Sav asked and I nodded.

"The doctor said he'll leave tomorrow so book your flights for tomorrow if you can find one." Sam said and I nodded.

"Sam, go home and sleep in your own bed. I'll stay here with Bryce and if anything goes on then I'll immediately call you." I said and he nodded.

"Thanks Tessa, I'll be back in the morning." Sam said then left and I sighed.

"I'm gonna head home real quick to grab some snacks for us, I'll be right back." Sav said and got up then left.

I went back into Bryce's room and sat next to him and smoothed out his hair to relax him as he was falling asleep.

"I love you, bub." I said and pecked his cheek.

"Bye Bryce, I'll see you soon." I said as I hugged him.

"Bye mommy." Bryce said and I smiled then kissed his cheek.

"Be good and I'll bring you a special present from Chicago or New York, okay?" I said and he nodded and I pulled him into another hug then got up from my squat and Sav smiled at me.

"Here's the schedule I set up for 2016, text me if it works for you or if you need to change somethings." Sam said and I took the paper and put it in my purse.

"Thanks for dropping us off, Sam. But Tess we gotta go before they finish boarding the flight." Sav said and I nodded.

"Bye guys." I said and they waved as we made our way to the gate.

"You okay?" Sav asked and I nodded and she slung her arm over my shoulder and I sat down and sighed.

"I just hope Bryce will be okay." I said and she nodded and I sighed.

"Don't worry about him, it's almost Christmas and he's going to be fine." Sav said and I nodded in response.

"You're right! He's going to be fine and I'll be fine too. I shouldn't be in this gloomy mood especially if it's Christmas." I responded and she smiled.

"Tickets please." The flight attendant said and we handed her our tickets then went inside the plane.

"Seat 13B and 13C." Sav said remembering the seat numbers.

"Seats 13B is right here and 13C is right here." I said and we got in our seats.

"Have you told Wes about Bryce?" Sav asked as we got situated.

"No, I'm going to tell him when we figure out the whole custody thing." I explained and she nodded.

"You should tell him soon before he freaks out that there is a kid in the house." Sav said.

"I know, he's going to be here after New Years so I'm going to have to tell him next year." I said and she sighed.

"Do it right when you see him he might get hurt from you not telling him." Sav said.

"I know, I'm going to so don't worry!" I said and she nodded as she dug through her bag.

"Here." Sav said as she handed me a piece of paper.

"What's this?" I asked as I opened it.

Reminder:
Tell Wes about Bryce.

"Also this too." Sav said then got out a stamper and some red in and stamped something onto my hand.

Tell Wes about Bryce!!

"You made a stamper?!" I said and started laughing as she nodded.

I rolled my eyes and she shrugged her shoulders then smirked and I sighed.

"Why do I need a sticky note and a stamp if I have you?" I asked.

"Hey!" Sav said and I chuckled and she rolled her eyes.

"Wes!" I screamed as I ran towards him.

"Surprise! I came to see you for the holiday." Wes said and I hugged him then kissed him.

"I missed you." I said as he lifted me up as we hugged.

"I missed you more." Wes mumbled into my shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him as he set me down.

"I'm here to see you, I wanted to see you." Wes said and I smiled then kissed him again.

"C'mon lovebirds, let's get home so I can barf." Sav said and I rolled my eyes as Wes chuckled.

"I'll grab your luggage." Wes said then ran off.

"You need to tell him today! You have to read the stamp." Sav stated as we walked towards the luggage claim.

"I will, I just need to get him alone and then I'll tell him." I said and I spotted my bag and lifted it up but before I could lift it fully up Wes lifted it up for me and I smiled.

"Thanks." I stated with a blush.

Tell him.

I looked over my shoulder to who said that but I didn't see anyone.

"Wes, I have to tell you something and I hope you don't break up with me for it." I spoke out and he looked at me suspicious.

"What is it Tess? I would never break up with you." Wes said.

Never say never

"I have a one year old son named Bryce." I said and his straight face went into a smile.

"That's awesome babe." Wes said and hugged me and I smiled and embraced him.

"I'm trying to get a bit of custody of him because I want to see him more often so I can't wait for you to meet him." I said and he smiled then kissed me and I closed my eyes and kissed back.

"I can't wait." Wes said and I hugged him again.
