Wanting You - Mandy Gonzalez X Chris Jackson - COMPLETED

63 - One Last Time?

27th May 2009
I wake up in Chris's arms and I know today is the day. I have a sad feeling in me that I'm leaving the show that changed my life, but I guess now it's time. We are growing our family, I have a family and I couldn't be happier with that.

Morning babe." I hear from behind me before my boyfriend kisses my shoulder. I turn around and face him. I kiss him straight away and it immediately becomes very heated. Chris pulls my top and bra off and begins sucking on my boob. I moan slightly and scratch at his back.

"Babe, calm down a little, please. We have a show to do. And our parents are just out there. Shit, that feels so good though." I push him off me and start giving him hickeys on his torso. After ten minutes I hear the door handle fumble around. I quickly pull back and hide under the covers trying to get my top on. Chris gets his tank top on and is decent when Doug enters the room.

"Hey buddy, are you ready to watch mama and daddy's last show today. Monica and Anthony and their families will be with you as well as Abuela, Abuelo and Nana."

"Yeah, where's mama?" He said louder, I'm guessing at the bed by now.

"Here I am." I called pulling the covers off my face since I was now decent. "I was just hiding." Douglas laughed and we laughed with him.

"Silly mama. You don't need to hide from me." He climbed onto the bed, over Chris and sat between us.

"I know I don't, but I thought a scary monster was trying to attack us. But then the brave knight scared it away and saved us all. Thank you Sir Douglas the Great." Douglas giggled and cuddled up to me, under the covers.

"When will I get to meet the baby?" He asked sweetly.

"Early November sweetheart, so about 5 and a half months. Would you prefer a baby brother or a baby sister?"

"Sister, but I wouldn't mind a bother. I'd love them no matter what."

"That's so sweet of you to say gorgeous." He smiled at me and hugged me. I hugged back and smiled at my boys. After a little family cuddle, Doug headed out and made breakfast with both mine and Chris's moms. Chris and I each change, I'm in sweats and a top. I wear a baggy sweater to hide the bump for the last time. We have breakfast, then my siblings arrive and we hang out in the garden enjoying our time as a family. At one point Chris takes my mom and dad to one side, but I ignore it as I'm trying to sort the lunch out. We eat a family lunch and I hand the set of nine tickets to my mom. "Okay, we will see you all later. Love you so much. Bye." I called as we headed out the door.

We arrive at the theatre and I find Lin and Karen had set up loads of decorations backstage. We go around and find loads of photos of the two of us hung up. In one corner there were three large black balloons one with a pink question mark, one with a blue question mark and one with a yellow 'and' sign. "Karen, I'm guessing that's the reveal."

"Yep. You, Chris and Doug will each have a pin, and you will pop the balloons revealing millions of smaller balloons in blue or pink."

"That's such a cute idea." Chris said from behind me. I nodded in agreement. Slowly other people arrived and wished us good luck for our final show. We then went and changed into our starting clothes for the last time. All our things were packed away in our boxes. The last things I had left out were Doug's picture from opening night on my door, and the photo Lin had taken when Chris and I first got together almost two years ago. I struggled to believe that we became a couple at the start of this journey for me, and now I was at the end. I changed and at five minutes I headed into Chris's room, as usual, to find him not there. I wondered downstairs to find him chatting to Lin.

"So the last day you break our kind of tradition of me heading into your room at five minutes."

"Sorry babe, I had to talk to Lin alone about something important. We can just kiss down here instead." He put a hand on my cheek and brought me into him and kissed me soft and sweet.

The cast sing us happy trails and give us a big cheer, Chris and I kiss at the end. Karen heads to her seat with our families and the rest of us make our way to places. "Lets to this babe, One last show. Our best show yet and one final memory for your box." I say. He then kisses me before walking onstage. I walk back under the stage to my entrance and do my usual routine of taking deep breaths and kissing my necklace one last time.
