Love Never Dies (Book 2)

Chapter 25

Ever get those days where you have so much to do but don't want to do anything. Yep that has been me this entire week. Carrying two babies inside of me takes a lot out of me. Today was Wednesday and I finally decided I'd work from home.

Chase and Ava have been so helpful. Those two would be fine without me anyway. But they've been taking care of me and understand I can't be as helpful.

"Hey Bryn." Chase says walking into the room.

"Hi." I look up from my laptop for a second before going back to the document I was working on.

"Ryan is going to come over with a pizza. He's also picking up Ava."

"I'm glad I have people like you and Ryan in my life."

"We'll always be here for you." He gave me a quick kiss before sitting next to me.

He turned on some game to the tv and laid his head in my lap as I continued on the schedules for the drivers this weekend.

"I love you Bryn." Chase randomly mumbles and then turns to look at me. He held a serious expression. "I'm sorry for all the fighting I started. I'm sorry I put you through a divorce. I'm sorry I was so stupid to let something so stupid ruin what we had. And I'm so thankful that you are giving me a second chance. Because I love you Bryn and what I did was so stupid. I'm happy that I'm back with my best friend and we get to raise not only a 6 year old diva but soon we'll get to raise two little boys."

"I love you Chase. I never stopped. And I know you were going through a hard time and that you're better. We're gonna be fine."

"It's just everyone said since Ava was thrown at us before we were even married it would tell if we would be perfect. That if we could deal with Ava and everything else we would be a great couple. And we dealt with everything that was thrown at us. But then I just.... I couldn't deal with it."

"It's ok Chase. We all have those times where we can't deal with things. Where everything gets to hard to deal with and we lose ourselves. It's ok, we're over it. I love you Chase."

"I love you Bryn."

I finish up the schedules for each of the 4 men and save them before sending them to the rightful owner.

"I can't wait to be able to hold our boys." Chase mumbles.

"I can't wait either."

Chase smiles at me and then grabs my hand leading me out of the room. He helps me down the stairs and into the family room, where we wait for Ava and Ryan.

"Hey why don't we have big get together before the race this weekend. Seeing as you haven't really got to catch up with everybody."

"That sounds fun Chase. What would we have?"

"Well we could do a BBQ. And have everyone bring something."

"Sounds fun. Start texting everyone." Chase groans as I instruct him to send invites. 

He quickly sends out the text messages inviting everyone over to our house. Once he's done we start talking about what we will need to prepare, set up, and get for this big get together.

"Hey Chase?" I ask as a question pops into my head.

"Huh?"

"Who was Callie." The question easily rolls off my tongue. I had been thinking about her a lot, especially after the first time I saw her and I just couldn't forget her.

"She was some cheerleader I met at the bar when I was with Ryan. We got drunk and ended up at her house. I thought it was just a one night stand but she texted me a couple days later. I wasn't going to answer her, and she didn't get the hint and kept texting me but I never answered until that day I accidentally sent you to the hospital. When I saw John-Hunter by your side helping you and just being there for you, when I knew I should have been the one there taking care of you. It really did something to me. So that night I texted Callie back. Then two days later I stopped again, but I went on Twitter and I saw the picture John-Hunter posted of you when you went on a date and I texted her that night and we met at the bar again. I thought you were moving on and so I decided I needed to try but it didn't work and it wasn't going to work because I love you Bryn. I love you and our little growing family. I love how you know me better than I know myself. So all I can say now is please don't worry about Callie, I never liked her."

"Thank you Chase."

"For what, I put you through hell?"

"Somehow you always end up telling me the truth."

"It's what makes us such a great couple"

"As long as I don't have to worry about her, I'm happy."

"We need to find someone for Ryan." Chase randomly says.

"Yeah I heard about that."

"Do you have any friends that are single?"

"Chase you just got back together with her and now you're asking if she has any single friends. Shame on you, I taught you better." Ryan defends walking into the room.

"No idiot I meant for you"

"Oh well I don't think I want to date a friend of Bryn's. I mean look at my last two girlfriends, they were friends of Bryn's and look how those relationships ended. I don't have a problem with you being friends with my girlfriend, but let's find me someone that you don't know, and then after we start dating you can become friends." Ryan sweetly smiles.

"Don't worry I was going to say that we probably shouldn't set you up with one of my friends."

"Fine we won't set you up with one of Bryn's friends, but we gotta find you someone."

"Let's not worry about that at the moment, let's worry about the future Chase's that will be running around this house and tearing it up soon. I still can't believe you're having two boys and you didn't name one of them after you and your dad."

"Well we have a good reason." I advise.

"Yeah Bryn and I talked and decided if we were going to have two boys we weren't going to pick which one was named after me, it just wouldn't be fair. So Bryn liked the name Bentley and we both came up with the name Brody. They also sort of match. If we get lucky and have another baby, and get even luckier to have a boy, then we'll name him after me." Chase explains.

"That makes sense." Ryan agrees.

We all move on to talk about little random things that the two come up with when a set of feet coming marching down the stairs.

"Guess who's home." Ava cheers walking into the living room. She had changed out of her school uniform and into a pair of leggings and a Nascar shirt.

"Hey Ava baby!" Chase greets.

"How was school?" I ask.

She shrugs her shoulders and mutters "It was school. Ryan, Chase, and I all laugh at the her and her hatred for school.

As we were eating the pizza Ryan had brought Ryan asks Ava if she was happy to be having two little brothers.

"Just like the last time you asked Uncle Ryan, no I'm not happy about having two brothers. I wanted one brother and one sister." She whines.

"Don't worry Ava you're going to be a great big sister."

"I know I will be." She sassily states.

"Oh Ava I hope you don't give us a hard time when the boys come or you'll have to go live with Uncle Ryan." Chase jokes.

"I will be a perfect angel, just please don't make me go live with Uncle Ryan."

"Hey what's wrong with staying at my house?"

"I love you Uncle Ryan but one night a month at your house listening to your music is enough." She bluntly states. Chase and I laugh at this as Ryan starts to tickle the little girl.

Finally things are starting to feel normal again. Chase and I have a happy family again. And things can hopefully continue to fell normal.
