I looked at him, in disbelief.

"You're not gonna be here for christmas?" I asked him, feeling my heart rip out. He nodded.

"I tried my best, I talked to everyo-" he started to say, but I cut him off.

"It's our first Christmas with Car, first time. Where the hell do you have to sing on Christmas!" I said. He could tell I was getting upset.

"I... I don't know Belle, they plan things and don't ask me." he said

. "Don't you think they'd think since you have an almost 2 month old baby at home that'd you want you spend Christmas with your family!" I said. I felt the heat bild up in my cheeks. I was so mad, somehow I knew this would happen.

"Belle, I'm sorry, really.. I am. I want you be home and you know this. I want to spend every moment with you and Car... Trust me." he stepped closer when he said 'Trust me'. I took a deep breath, letting it out.

"You told me you weren't leaving me till February, you promised!" I said, letting a tear out. He pulled me close, letting me hug him. I cried, listening to what he had to say.

"I didn't have the nerve to tell you, I didn't want to break your heart. I love you too much, and I promise to Skype you every night. I'll tell you I love you every minute of every day, because I mean it." he said, rubbing my back. I leaned my head back and quickly kissed him, and then kissed him again.

"Please don't leave, I can't be a mom without you." She whispered, but loud enough for me to hear. I felt my heart break, making me want to call Chris up and tell him where to stick it, like Carrie says to do. I looked into her mesmerizing green eyes, and telling her what I wanted to.

"I'm always here, I love you so so so so much Belle, and you're a wonderful mom to Car, and you will be ok. I'll be home following Christmas, I pinky promise." I smiled, holding out my pinky. A grin played across her face, wrapping her pinky around mine and shaking it. "Now let's go to bed." I told her. She opened her arms as I scooped her and carried her to bed.

It was Christmas, Christmas day. I had Car all bundled up, ready to drvie to Hunters parents house. I ran around the house getting the presents into a bag and tying it up. I pulled my coat off the hanger in the closet, and buttning it up. I reached up high, seeing a black and white scarf that I've never seen before. I pulled it down and looked at it. I took a sniff, and knew it was Hunters. I closed my eyes as I hugged the scarf, smiling to myself. I wander where he is right now. I put the scarf on and ran into the kitchen, picking up my phone and clicking on his face. I quickly called him.

"Hey Belle, Merry Christmas." I felt warm, vison all clouded up with tears. I smiled, so happy to hear his voice. I quickly sniffled.

"Merry Christmas." I said back. I heard him sigh, almost seeing him shaking his head.

"Are you sure you're going to be ok today?" he asked me. I nodded, than realized he couldn't see that.

"Yes. I promise." I wiped my tears off my face and walked out of the kitchen, still talking to Hunter. I closed the closet door and walked into the living room. I picked up Car and held him on my hip. I put him into the car seat/carryer. I laughed at what Hunter said, picking up the bag of presents. I walked out the door and closed it behind me. I held my phone on my shoulder and ear, while holding the car seat/carryer in one hand and the bag of presents in the other. I smiled at the photographers, taking pictures. I answered whatever Hunter asked me and got to my car. I sat the bag down and opened the back door. I placed the car seat into the holder, hearing it click. I picked my phone up from my shoulder and flipped my hair off my shoulder. I made sure Car was all buckled up and safe. I picked up the bag of presents on the ground next to my feet, seeting it on the floor of my car... Well Hunters car. I back out of the back seats and closed the door. I walked back around the car and opened the drivers side door. I sat down and closed the door behind me. I buckled up and let out a big sigh, hearing Hunter laugh through the phone. I smiled, missing his smile.

"Are you good now?" he asked. I laughed.

"Wait.." I started up his car and turned the radio down.

"Ok, now I'm good." I smiled. He chuckled.

"Have a good Christmas, babe. I wish I was there. Give hugs to everyone." he said. I smiled, thinking about all the fun he's probably having right now with the band.

"I love you Hunter. More and more every day." I said, feeling my cheeks blush a light pink.

"I love you more and more everyday too, Belle." he said. I hung up and slipped my phone into cup holder.

"Well... Car, let's go see Santa." I said, backing out of the drive way, turning on my turning signal. I looked both ways, and turned right, heading to my in-laws, ready to face the day.
