Wanting You - Mandy Gonzalez X Chris Jackson - COMPLETED

43 - Saying Goodbye?

We have a nice, general conversation then we headed home. I found that the suitcases were already packed and they were ready to leave.

"I guess this is it." I walk over to Jane. "Thank you for coming Jane. It was lovely to meet you."

"It was lovely to finally meet my baby boys girlfriend, you mean so much to him, and to Doug. Stay strong my love." I give her a hug.

"Will do Jane." I giggled slightly from her calling Chris her baby boy. I turned to my mom. "I'll see you soon Mami, call me as soon as you see Monica. Tell me me how she's doing. And yeah. I love you mom." I have her a massive hug, trying not to cry.

"Of course I'll call you sweetie. I love you so much and Monica will be fine, I promise you."

"Okay." I let go and hugged my dad. "I love you papa."

"I love you too princess. Look after yourself, look after Doug, look after Chris. He's always going to be there for you. He truly loves you Mandy. I know I've not known him very long, but he really does and it's so obvious. Looks after your relationship. You really have something special with him. We'll call as soon as we can." I notice that Chris is talking to his mom. After I talk to my parents I pick up Doug and let him say goodbye. It's upsetting as he doesn't want them to go. He really bonded with my parents, which half surprised me, but then I remembered how quickly he bonded with me. Chris then took Doug from my hold and pulled me into him.

"Bye." I said before I buried my head into Chris's shoulder, lightly crying. I was just so afraid for my big sister. I couldn't lose her. She had been my go to person to talk to as a child, and then to call once I was in New York. After Chris, as he found me, she was the first person I called about my breakup with Adam. She was the first person I called saying I had a role on Broadway. She was the first person I called when Chris asked me to be his girlfriend. She was always the first one I spoke to about anything. I couldn't bare the thought of not being able to make that call.

"Shhh, Mandy. She'll be okay, you'll be okay, we'll be okay my love." He rubbed my back holding me close and kissed my hairline. I hiccupped and didn't notice our parents had left until Chris lead me to the living room. "Doug, mama will be okay. She's just worried about her sister. Go find something to play with and I'll join you in a bit." He put his son down and helped me onto the couch. "How about I make you a cup of coffee?" Chris asked rubbing my shoulder.

"Can I have some hot coco instead. I'm not in the mood for a coffee right now, plus I'll never sleep tonight if I have caffeine."

"Of course Mandy. I'll be right back." I lie down, curled up on the couch bringing my knees to my chest. I sob into them until I feel a light kiss on my cheek and a small hand on my arm. I open my eyes and realise that Doug had climbed onto the couch to try and comfort me.

"Don't cry mama. She'll be okay. I know she will, she has your support and that will help her." I look up at Doug and smiled weakly.

"How are you only four and a half. You are incredible kiddo. I was no where near that smart or thoughtful at your age." I wrap my arm around him and cuddled him. Chris quickly returns with my coco and I smile. I go to take it and realise Doug had fallen asleep in my arms. "I'm gunna put him to bed, he had lots of lunch and was quite late, so I'm sure he'll be fine without dinner." I carry him to his bedroom and put him to sleep. I kiss his forehead, tuck him in and head back into the living room. The evening was calm and relaxing. Chris and I cuddled together on the couch, drink hot coco, watching a movie.

Suddenly my phone rang from the other room. "Our no phone day though." I looked at Chris.

"It's clearly important if someone calls you baby, go get it!" I jump off the couch and run to get my phone. I squeal in delight when I see who it is. I instantly pick it up and run back to the couch with Chris.
