COSTARS | CHRIS WOOD

| 34 |

Right when I heard the doorbell ring I knew who it was instantly. I bolted towards the door and swung it open. "Pauly!" I jumped on Paul and wrapped my legs around his waist.

He just carried me into my living room and threw me on the couch where Chris was laying. "Hey be careful with her, she has another human inside of her." That was really the first time Chris had acknowledged the baby since the night I told him. Which was a week ago.

I laugh and go over to the kitchen counter to grab my phone. Chris and Paul are sitting on the couch, and I sit on the floor in between Chris's legs while he runs his fingers through my hair. He knows it calms me down.

I open up the Instagram app and start the live stream. The comments come rolling in and there's so many nice ones that say 'BHRIS💘' or 'you're so pretty!' But I can't help notice the bad ones too, 'she's so ugly' or 'she's playing paul and chris' or 'fat slut' and my mood goes from 10 to 1 in a matter of seconds.

Chris notices I'm starting to tense up and he starting to massage my shoulders, "Hey guys! Paul and I are in Bailey's apartment and wanted to start a live stream. So you guys can ask us any questions you want! Just make sure they're appropriate" he winks at the camera.

"Wait I like this question," Paul starts and points at my phone screen, "Why is Paul Wesley so hot?" He reads the comment and smirks. "I don't know. But it's true. He is."

I roll my eyes and read the next question, "When will you see your brother next? Oh, Dylan is actually coming up next week with Daniel and Tyler so be prepared for some pictures on insta!"

Paul and Chris look at each other and whisper something into each other's ears. "What?" I punch Paul on the shoulder and he glares at me.

Chris leans in and whispers in my ear, "Should we tell them now?" I look up at him with worried eyes but nod. I know we have to tell everyone sooner or later. I'm only growing and won't be able to hide the belly for much longer.

"Okay guys. In all seriousness, we started this live stream to talk to you about something important. I wanted Paul to be here for this because he's my best friend and the first person I told." I sigh and Paul just grabs my hand and runs his thumb over my knuckles trying to comfort me.

I look up at Chris and he puts his hand on my shoulder and nods at me, "The rumors are true. I am pregnant with Chris's baby. Before you all start asking questions... no, Chris and I are not dating."

I sigh in relief that I finally got that off of my chest. I look over at the screen and see the comments starting to roll in. Most of them are sweet and supportive but there's obviously those few that say, 'Slut' or 'I feel bad for the baby' and things like that. I try to ignore them.

Chris just thanks them for watching and shuts off the live stream. I sit back on the couch and start crying into Chris's shoulder while he rubs my back. Pretty soon I'm fast asleep.
