Come Back Baby *Kris Bryant*

*This is the sequel to "Stay *Kris Bryant*" I hope you all like it* 

Katie's POV 

It's been about a two month since I left Kris. Two weeks that I have been living in a hotel since I didn't have anywhere to go. I couldn't fly home because that would give my mom the satisfaction that she was right. My mom never liked Kris and never wanted us to be together and she always made her opinion known to us. So I choose to stay at the hotel since I had enough money for it. Though I haven't been in contact with Kris, I have been in contact with Anthony Rizzo his teammate and best friend. Anthony keeps telling me that Kris misses me but I can't bring myself to believe him. If Kris really did miss me then why hasn't he contacted me? I sighed and decided not to focus much on this. I got up from my hotel bed and went over to the couch and turned the TV on, and the first thing that popped up was pregame for the Cubs game tonight (since the season started two weeks after I left) and they just so happened to be interviewing Kris so I decided to watch.

"Kris, for the past month it seemed like you weren't playing like yourself, can you explain this?" The interviewer asked.

"Well I've had a lot going on the for the past month kinda two that I haven't been able to really focus on baseball right now, but what's been going on is going to be pushed back and I'm going to be more focused." Kris explained 

The interview continued for a few more minutes and then he left to go take BP. I watched the rest of pregame and then it was time for the first pitch. As the game was going, I wasn't really paying attention until it was the fifth inning and Kris was up to bat. He apparently singled his last time up. I watched as he took a first pitch strike, then a second pitch ball. On the third pitch, Kris seemed ready for it but not for where it was thrown. The ball ended up being thrown right at him and he barely had time to turn his head as the ball hit him in the helmet, but it immediately dropped him. I watched as the athletic trainer, Maddon, and Rizzo all ran over to him. I didn't stay to watch as I immediately grabbed my keys and ran to my car and got in. I quickly started it and was off to Wrigley Field. I may have left him but I still love him and I hope he will be okay. I drove down to Wrigley Field and parked as close as I could to the field and ran to the field. I was lucky that I still had my player's guest pass and was able to go straight in. I ran to the tunnel and luckily the security guard knew me so he let me through. I ran down to the training room and saw Maddon walk out. 

"Katie what are you doing here? I thought you had left Chicago. Kris said you two were done and you left so he assumed you left Chicago." Maddon asked.

"I never left, I was staying at a hotel I saw Kris get hit when I was watching the game on the TV" I explained. "How is he?" I finally asked.

"Our trainer says it is definitely a concussion but wont know how severe yet. Tell him I said to let you in when he is done, I have a game to coach." Maddon told me as he left to go finish coaching the game.  

I waited about ten minutes before the athletic trainer came out. I asked him about Kris and told him what Maddon told me and he told me what was wrong and that I could go in. I walked in and saw Kris laying on the evaluation table. I walked over to him and saw he had a wet towel over his eyes so he couldn't see me, but I know he at least heard me since he started talking.

"Rizz if that's you what the hell are you doing out of the game?" Kris asked. I didn't answer and I knew that didn't sit well with Kris as he started talking, sitting up (slowly) and he removed the towel "Rizz I ask you..." Kris trailed off looking right at me "Katie, what are you doing here? I thought you left" Kris asked looking at me.

"I said I was leaving you not Chicago. And I saw you get hit and I was worried..." I explained with as little words as possible as I wasn't quite sure how to react.

"Why would you be worried?" Kris asked.

"Because..." I say not sure what to say exactly.

Kris sat up slowly and slowly stood up and walked over to me "Because why?" He asked.

"Because I still love you Kris, even though I wish I didn't" I say telling him the truth.

"When you left, and these past two months really put reality into perspective for me. And then getting hit today really put it in perspective." Kris said.

"Put what in perspective?" I ask.

"How horrible I treated you. How I wasn't acting like a boyfriend to you. I should never have acted the way I did and I know I hurt you and I never thought I would lose you and yet I did. When you left, I didn't even fight to stop you because I thought you would be back. And then you didn't come back I knew I lost you. And it wasn't just you that left and I lost, I lost our child as well though I didn't know it at the time. I regret losing you and I know that's why I haven't been able to focus because I didn't have you. I couldn't look in the stands to see you there cheering because you weren't there and I know now how it feels to not have someone there that you depend on. You depended on me and I wasn't there for you and baby I'm so sorry and I have no excuse for my behavior and I wish I could go back and change the way I acted towards you." Kris explained.

I didn't know what to say and just looked away from him because I knew if I looked at him I would start to cry. Listening to what he said I knew he finally understood what I was feeling, what I had been feeling during that off season. I could feel the tears start to form in my eyes as Kris turned my head so that I would look at him. 

"Baby please don't cry." Kris said softly was he wiped the falling tears away. "I never wanted to make you cry. I was never supposed to be the reason for your tears and yet I know you've cried because of me and I'm so sorry baby. I know I can't change what happened but I what I can change is what happens in the future. I want to be better, I need to be better for you and for our baby." Kris said as he gently puts a hand on my growing stomach. "Please come back baby. I miss you and I do love you and I vow to show you that everyday and never letting you feel alone." Kris promised to me. 

As I looked at him I could tell that he meant what he said. I could tell in his eyes that he spoke the truth and I knew what I should do. So I gave him a small smile and nodded my head letting him know that I would come back to him. Kris gave me a smile and hugged me tightly but watching out for the baby. I leaned into him hugging him back. I definitely missed Kris and being in his arms feeling safe. Even though he put me through a lot I knew he would change and be better for me and the baby. I knew he was not going to let me leave again. 

Kris's POV 

When I saw Katie here I knew I had to get her back and after everything I said, I wasn't sure she would come back but she did. As I held her in my arms I knew I was not going to let her go again. These last two months were horrible because 1) I didn't have Katie anymore and 2) because I couldn't focus on baseball because I lost Katie. I know I need to be better and I'm going to be better for Katie. I finally got my baby to come back and I'm not letting her go.
