Love Wins~Kris Bryant

Chapter 25

APRIL 10TH, 2018 

Today was finally the day Kris and I found out wether we're having a little Kris or a little Skylar. I hope it's a little me because I want to dress her up in princess outfits and cute things like that. Kris is hoping for a boy because he wants to teach him how to play baseball and things like that. 

"So who knows what we're having?" Kris asked as we were setting up for the party in our apartment. "Just Anthony and Emily. Since both of our parents are in Vegas, they're the only people I trust, well Emily anyway." I said with a laugh. 

The season may have just started, but everything has been full swing around here lately and traveling with the team isn't going to last much longer for me due to the fact of how big I'm getting day by day. 

"I can't wait to be a dad. It's so surreal that you and I had talked about this since high school and now it's happening. On the right terms anyway." He said as he came over to me and hugged me. "I know, with the miscarriage that happened last year around this time, I'm glad I have a healthy baby and an amazing husband." I said leaning up and kissing him. 

"And I have an amazing wife." He said and I smiled and we both went back to setting up for the party. About an hour later, Anthony and Emily showed up with a big box that Kris and I were going to open and find out what we're having. 

"So are you excited to find out?" Emily asked as we were both up in our room as I was getting ready. "Yeah and I'm nervous. Like I don't know why I'm nervous." I said and she laughed. "Don't worry, I'm sure you're going to be fine no matter what you have." She said. 

"I think I'm having a girl. Kris thinks it's a boy. But he said he doesn't care, as long as he or she is healthy and I agree. I just want a girl more." I said and we both laughed. Soon enough, our apartment was getting filled with Cubs players and wives and the party was in full swing. 

"Alright, we want to thank you all for coming on the off day and spending it with us. Now let's do what we're all really here for, let's find out what Baby Bryant really is!" I said as Kris and I went over to the box. 

Everyone counted down from 3 and we opened the box to pink balloons flying out. "YES!" I said as I hugged Kris and kissed him. "We're having a girl babe." He said and I smiled. "Princess Bryant her she comes." I said as I put my hands on my stomach and rubbed and I felt her kick. 

"Babe, she's kicking. Feel." I said grabbing his hands and putting them on my stomach. It was a couple minutes before she actually kicked and I looked up at him and he had the biggest smile on his face. "I can't believe we made that." He said. 

"I know, I can't believe it either. But enough standing here, we have a party to get back to. I said and he laughed and we went back inside and joined everyone else. It was about eight o'clock when everyone started leaving and Kris and I were cleaning up. 

My phone rang from across the kitchen and I sighed and went over and picked it up and looked at who texted me and it was an unknown number. "Kris, do you know who this is?" I asked showing him the number and he nodded his head no. 

I sighed and opened the text and gasped at all the pictures that were sent to me. "What's going on babe?" Kris asked noticing the expression on my face. I just showed him my phone and he took it from me and looked through all them. 

"Babe, the person sent a message." He said handing me back my phone. Don't think I went away that easily. I'm always around.  "God fucking hell." I said and I put my head in my hands. "Who is it?" He asked rubbing my back. 

"Matthew." I said and he immediately brought me into his arms and kept rubbing my back. "Why does he have to come back at the most important time in my life? He's going to cause me so much stress and it's going to hurt the baby." I said. 

"You're going to be just fine. We're going to hire a lawyer and get him arrested for blackmailing you and if he does anything else to you." He said as he kissed my forehead. "I've tried doing that, he doesn't stay away that easily." I said. 

"Well, we'll figure something out babe. I'm not going to let anything happen to you or our baby. I promise you that." He said as he cupped my face in his hands and then leaned down and kissed me. 

"I don't know what I ever did to deserve a guy like you Kris. I'm so thankful for everything you do for me and our soon to be princess." I said and he smiled. "That's what I'm supposed to do as your husband and soon to be daddy." 

I was hesitant on calling my mom and telling her about the whole thing because I didn't want her to fly here and staying with me and trying to protect me. She's been like that ever since I broke up with him because she knew what happened between the two of us. 

There was a knock on our door and Kris and I looked at each other weird. He kissed me before going to open it and I slowly followed him to the door. "Mom? What are you doing here?" Relieved to see it was just her, I went over and hugged her. 

"I missed you and I've been lonely out in Vegas so I decided to surprise you guys." She said and I smiled. "So do you wanna know what we're having?" I asked as we were all settled down on the couch. 

"Oh you know?" She asked and I nodded. "We're having a girl." I said and she got tears in her eyes and hugged Kris and I. "You two are going to be great parents I just know it." She said and my phone buzzed and I  picked it up and saw that the unknown number had texted me again. 

Awe look, momma is in town to protect you. Told you, I'm always watching.
