INTERNATIONAL - (A Chris Brown Fan Fiction Love Story)

CHAPTER 23

- KERRY’S POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to Blake’s cries. I rushed along the corridor and into his room.

“Hey, Blake,” I whispered as I lifted him out of his crib. “It’s OK, baby. Momma’s got you.”

He stopped crying but I took him downstairs anyway and we watched TV together. I managed to find a kids’ programme (I didn’t have a clue why it was on at three o’clock in the morning) and Blake became more settled.

“That’s a rabbit, Blake,” I said, pointing to the screen. He wasn’t even watching because when I looked down at him in my arms he was asleep. I went upstairs again and put him to bed.

“What you doing?” Chris yawned, peering his head around our bedroom door as I walked back through the corridor.

“Blake was crying,” I said, kissing him when I approached him. He kissed me back pretty passionately.

“Baby,” Chris spoke quietly. “I miss making love.”

“Chris, I love you but that’s the last thing on my mind right now. I just gave birth to Blake the other day.”

He sighed. “I know, boo. I just thought I should tell you.”

We kissed again… maybe for a little too long this time. I hugged him tightly afterwards and then went back into bed. Chris followed.

“Can I ask you a question?” he said once we’d got in. “About Karrueche?”

“Go on…”

“She seem like she struggling with the whole idea of being a single parent. I’m sure I ain’t seen her show Zahra any affection yet.”

“Maybe that’s because she felt awkward around you. Besides, you’ve barely seen Karrueche with Zahra. She could be totally different with her when you’re not there.”

Chris nodded. “True. I just worry about my daughter, that’s all. I don’t want her having a shit childhood like you and I.”

“I think Zahra’s in capable hands. I can see Karrueche being a good parent.”

“Suppose,” he mumbled. “I’m going back to sleep now, boo. Night.”

I said ‘night’ to him back and then closed my eyes. Before I had time to drift to sleep, there was a knock at the door.

Chris was just about to get up but I stopped him.

“I’ll go, Chris.”

“You ain’t answering the door this time of night. I’ll go.”

He shook my hold off him and went downstairs to the door.  I got out of bed and began to slowly walk downstairs once he’d opened the door. I could at first hear a baby screaming piercingly and then I heard Karrueche’s voice.

“Chris, I can’t cope with her anymore! She’s driving me crazy!”

“You’re her Mom, Karrueche! You can’t just fucking leave her!”

I began to run down the stairs. “What the fuck is going on?”

Chris turned around, reaching his hand out to me. I went by his side and held his hand.

“She doesn’t want Zahra,” he explained, “and I think she trying to dump her here.”

I know this chapter's short; I'm sorry! The next chapter's longer (I've pre-written, haha).

'Waiting' may not have much to do with this chapter but I had to put another X Files song on. ;)
