No Fear | Greyson Chance fanfiction [sequel]

Part 4

   Melissa went through her confinement period alone and sometimes she had her in-laws visited the condo to check on her. They would bring fruits and healthy food for her speedy recovery.

   "How are you, dear?" Lisa asked one day when they visited Melissa at the condo.

   Melissa smiled at her and answered, "Better, Mom Lisa. Thanks for visiting me here."

   "I'm sorry that Greyson has to leave you alone for work. Why didn't you stay with us until you're fully recovered?" Scott spoke.

   Melissa shook her head while still having that smile on her lips. "I'm fine here. Besides I'm getting better now. Thank you, Dad Scott, Mom Lisa. You're so nice to me. I don't know how to repay-"

   "What are you talking about? You're like our own daughter. We love you, Melissa." Lisa's words touched Melissa's heart.

   Melissa hugged her mother-in-law, so tight like how she used to hug her late mother. She missed the warm feeling of hugging a mother and Lisa just made her feel it again. Melissa was very thankful to have in-laws like Scott and Lisa.

   When Scott went to use the restroom, Lisa leaned closer to Melissa like she wanted to tell her a secret.

   "Since you're getting better and your wound also has healed now, have you think about being pregnant again?"

   That made Melissa's eyes widened. She didn't expect Lisa to ask that question since she just recovered.

   "I-I haven't..." She admitted honestly.

   "Well, you should start to think about it now. Both of you are still young and healthy. Tell me if Greyson doesn't cooperate, ok?" And then Lisa laughed at her own joke. Melissa had to fake her laugh to take care of Lisa's feeling.

   "What's so funny here?" Scott who just returned from the restroom interrupted.

   "Ladies talk." Lisa answered. Melissa just smiled.

   "Ah, okay okay. I think we better get going now before it's dark." Scott suggested.

   Lisa nodded and turned to Melissa, "Mel, we have to go now. If anything just give us a call, yeah? And don't forget to think about what I said just now." Lisa whispered the last sentence. Scott was already waiting at the door.

   Melissa was alone again. Her mind was thinking about what Lisa said to her just now. Get pregnant? Again? No. She just lost a baby a month ago, how could she think about getting pregnant again?

   Thinking about the unbearable pain during the labor made Melissa shivered. But that wasn't the real pain that broke her into pieces. Nothing hurt more than a pain of losing someone you truly love. Melissa didn't want to feel it again. It was hard for her.

   Melissa knew how much Greyson wanted a child of his own. She could see it from the day he knew they were expecting a baby. In fact, he was the one who took care of everything like he was the one who carried the baby. He bought too many clothes and baby stuff that Melissa thought was a waste because there were a lot of them. Greyson treated her like a queen, got her everything she needed and wanted. He massaged Melissa's legs until she fell asleep and did the house chores although he worked during the day yet he never complained, not even once.

   However, to Melissa, being pregnant again means to risk herself to experience the same pain of losing and she didn't want it to happen one more time. She had lost her mother. She had lost her baby. She wasn't gonna lose anyone anymore.

"Seems like you're too deep in your thoughts." Melissa was pulled back to reality when she heard a husky voice behind her. Once she looked up to see Greyson she was attacked by a kiss on the lips. The upside-down kiss.
