My dad the rockstar

Chapter 21

{Gaia's POV, One Year Later} 

Chris and I are driving Ronnie to her first day of Pre-K when we arrived at the school Chris parked in front of the school and killed the engine. Chris and I climbed out of the SUV, I opened the backseat door and unbuckled Ronnie from her car seat I helped her out of the backseat I grabbed Ronnie's backpack and closed the backseat door. 

"Mommy will you and daddy walk into school with me?" Ronnie asked. 

"Yes, your father and I will walk into school with you." I said. 

Ronnie stayed close to Chris and I, she didn't try to talk to the other kids waiting with their parents to go into school when the doors to the school opened Chris, Ronnie, and I followed the students and parents inside the school. Chris and I walked Ronnie to her classroom she hid behind me we knelt down to her level she looked at Chris and I with tears in her eyes. 

"Ronnie what's the matter sweetheart?" 

"I don't want to go." 

"Sweetheart it's okay to be afraid would you like your father or I to stay with you until you feel better?" I asked, stroking her hair. 

"No because I don't want anyone to think I'm a baby." Ronnie said. 

Ronnie hugged Chris and I and walked inside the classroom with the rest of her classmates we rose to our feet and left the school. Chris and I climbed back inside the SUV, he put the key in the ignition and started the engine and drove away from the school I leaned over and kissed his cheek. 

"Babe are you okay?" 

"Not really I'm worried that because Ronnie can be shy at times, I'm worried that the kids will pick on her." 

"I'm worried about that to but we can't protect her forever you and I both agreed to let her go to a public school to be with other children." I said, reaching over and holding his free hand. 

When we arrived home Chris parked in front of the house and killed the engine we climbed out of the SUV, and walked up to the house Chris and I walked up the porch steps I opened the storm door and unlocked the inside door we walked inside the house. I took off my jacket and hung it up I put my purse in Chris's office I left the room and walked into the kitchen he came into the kitchen. 

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" 

"Yes please," 

I walked over to the counter and turned on the coffee pot I grabbed mine and Chris's coffee mugs out of the cupboard and sat them on the counter. I walked over to Chris and wrapped my arms around his waist he leaned down and kissed me I laid my head on his chest and smiled contently. 

"Babe, just relax I have a feeling before the day is over Ronnie will have made at least one friend if I'm wrong I'll sleep on the couch." I said. 

"I'm not making you sleep on the couch if your wrong about Ronnie not making a friend." Chris replied, playing with my hair. 

When the coffee was done Chris made the coffee, he handed me my cup we left the kitchen and walked into the living room. Chris and I sat down on the couch he turned on the TV, we watched cartoons while drinking our coffee. 

"The house seems quiet without Ronnie." 

"I'm glad that Pre-K is only half a day." 

"Would you like me to pick Ronnie up from school?" I asked. 

"We both can pick her up from school." He said. 

When we were finished drinking our coffee, I took the empty mugs out into the kitchen and washed them up I sat the mugs on the drainboard and left the kitchen. I walked back into the living room I sat back down on the couch next to Chris and snuggled up beside him, he wrapped his arm around me.
