More Than Me | Greyson Chance fanfiction

Lovesick

"Because I love you."

Melissa looked into Greyson's eyes. She could see the sincerity in them but then she looked away and pulled her hands.

"I want to sleep." She said getting up but Greyson stopped her by grabbing her wrist.

"I need to know..." She looked down at Greyson and waited, "What do you feel about me?"

Melissa frowned at Greyson. What did she feel about him? She didn't know.

   "I-"

   "No, it's okay." Greyson let go of Melissa's wrist. "You don't have to answer it now." He got up and wrapped his arm around Melissa's waist. "Let's just go to sleep."

   Melissa couldn't sleep that night thinking about the confession. Why didn't she feel anything towards Greyson like how she used to feel before? She had forgiven him and she also tried to forget what he had done to her by looking at the bright side of him, like how he would always do anything to make her feel comfortable and gave everything she wanted. He treated her like a queen especially since she was pregnant. Greyson accepted all the worst from Melissa and still stayed even though sometimes she was testing his patience. All those things but Melissa couldn't feel anything special towards Greyson.

   The pregnancy had reached five months and Melissa had to attend appointments to follow up on the baby. Greyson would take a leave every time Melissa had an appointment so that he could bring her to the doctor for her check up and of course because he was the father so he wanted to be there to listen to every explanation the doctor said about their baby.

   "You go in first. I need to go to the restroom." Greyson said sending Melissa to the checkup room before he rushed to the restroom.

   Before the doctor started the check up, he asked how pregnancy life was treating her. Melissa thought for a while and said that her life was good but she ate a lot more than before.

   "Uhm, doctor. Can I ask something?" Melissa was unsure but she really needed to ask the doctor to get her clear about the thing she was curious.

   "Sure, you can ask me everything."

   When Greyson was back, the doctor was doing an ultrasound. Greyson could see the image of a baby on the screen. He was stunned.

   "Ah, Mr. Chance. Your baby is doing well." The doctor said.

   "So cute. I want to cry." Greyson said. Melissa narrowed her eyes at Greyson but there was a thin smile on her lips.

   "Can we know its gender already?" Greyson asked. He was excited to know but Melissa quickly spoke before the doctor could even say anything.

   "No! I want to wait until the birth."

   The doctor let out a small chuckle. "Yes, Mr Chance. We can find out the sex of your baby but since your wife said so I won't mention it." Greyson grinned at the doctor and then at Melissa.

   "It's alright. Either it's a boy or a girl what matters the most is the baby's healthiness." Greyson said. The doctor nodded.

   It was raining cats and dogs when they stepped out of the building.

   "Damn it, we don't have umbrellas." Greyson cursed. Melissa pinched his arm and with her furrowed eyebrows she said, "The baby heard you." Greyson covered his mouth and muttered a 'sorry' while his hand rubbing on the baby bump. Melissa slapped his hand away.

   "You wait here. I'll go take the car." With that, Greyson ran and disappeared into the rain before Melissa could utter any words.

Greyson came back again with an umbrella to get Melissa into the car. When both of them were already in the car, Greyson could see Melissa's body was shivering in cold.
