Melwood's Miracle

Chapter 16: Back With a Name

Melissa's POV

Chris will be home tomorrow night, so after I finish dinner and my stretches I sit on the couch with my laptop and decide to look for a name.

She'll be here in less than two months and we haven't decided on a middle name at the least.

After awhile I have a list of 5 first name and 5 middle names that I like and think Chris might like.

I settle on a show to watch and try to get comfortable on the couch.

Chris's POV

It's been a long couple of days her and I'm itching to get back to Melissa.

Today in the meetings we came close to a final product, so I think tomorrow in the morning we'll decide for sure on a story.

—the next morning—

I wake up excited for the day. Today I get to fly home and see the love of my life and I might get the chance to have my story turned into a short film.

"Okay team, I've thought long and hard about this, but I decided to take the risk and put together a group of people to produce Chris Wood's writing piece," says Jerry and I smile with delight as people clap and congratulate.

After, Jerry comes up and tells me he'll see me in 5 months when the team for the production is put together.

I hug everyone goodbye and rush to my hotel to pack up then head to the airport.

When I get to my hotel room, I pull out my suitcase and pack up all my stuff. I'm done within 15 minutes and sit down on a chair, checking the time on my phone. 12:04pm. I call a cab and head down to the lobby to check out.

Melissa's POV

Chris called and said he just landed in Vancouver. I wish I could go and pick him up, but I don't want to risk it. He knows.

When the door unlocks and opens my heart skips a beat and I get to my feet as fast as I can, which isn't very fast.

He walks up to me and I kiss him desperately.
"I'm so happy you're back," I whisper against his lips.
"I'm so happy to be back," he says, pulling back and observing my state.
"I think she grew while I was away," he observes, putting his hands on my bump.

"I think so too," I say. "I might have thought of the perfect name for her."
"Really?" he says as he starts taking off his shoes and coat.
"Yep."

"I would love to hear it," he teases.
"Willow," I whisper and his face lights up.

Ahhh! I hope you guys like the name, it took me awhile to find the right one!
