The Boss

Chapter 43

Kris' POV

So here we are now, going back to Katrin's place. I still don't feel good about this, I know I'm doing this for the kids but I feel like I'm choking coming back here. I keep on thinking if they have done it in the bed  Katrin and I use to share or have they done it somewhere else in the house. I was away for so long I don't know what they were doing behind my back.

I'm currently in my room picking little things up, making sure my room is tidy and that I pack some essentials that I will need. I heard a knock and immediately turned my attention to the door. Opening it I saw my mom's face looking concern.

"Honey, you okay?" she asks me as I motioned for her to come on.

"Of course mom, never been better" I said as I continued to put stuff on my bag pack.

"Kris, look at me" she said making me sit by her side on the bed.

"I know what happened this morning got you all rattled and scared but honey you have Andy safe and sound. I know what he did isn't good but he's just a kid wanting to be with his mother and sister, don't be too hard on yourself Kris, we all make stupid choices when we're young" mom said patting my thigh.

"I know mom, I understand Andy's needs and I'm all in for my kids. I just so many things in my head at the moment" I said with a sigh smiling sadly at my mother.

"Honey I know it may sound like I'm snooping with your relationship but what happened between you and Katrin? I thought you two were doing good? I never saw you that happy than you were with your kids and wife? What happened baby?" she asks holding my chin making me look at her.

"Life happened mom, I thought we could live in our fairytale life forever happy and contented but apparently I was just dreaming" I tried expressing my thoughts closing my eyes with a sigh.

"Kris you know life is full of up and downs, it will never be perfect sooner or later everything will come crashing down testing your relationship and love for each other but that's how everything goes, it makes the both of you strong and molds your family tighter" mom said side hugging me.

"She doesn't love me mom" I said getting emotional again.

"How do you know?" she asks pulling away from hugging me and looking at my teary eyes.

"She never did mom, she only sticks with me for the kids nothing more" I said to her.

"Honey Katrin loves you, I can see how she looks at you full of admiration and love" She said hugging me to her chest.

"I don't know mom" I said trying to wipe my tears.

"I'm not going to force you to believe me, I will just let her show you but honey you're doing the right by moving back to her, it's not that I don't love having you and Andy around it's just a family needs to stay together and grow together, okay? I love Kris, always remember that" she said pushing my shoulder lightly making me look at her loving gaze.

"I love you to mom" I said as she kisses my forehead.

"well I better let go back to packing, it's gonna be okay honey" she said standing up and exiting my room.

I continued fixing my things and then went to Andy's room taking some of the things that he might need.  I look at the picture by his table, it was of me, my parents, and my sister Annie we were smiling, we were happy. I took the picture with me as I sit on Andy's bed.

"I'm sorry Annie, I know I promise to take good care of him and to give him the family he deserves but sometimes it's hard" I said looking at Annie's smile tearing a bit.
