Chapter 47

This summer has been an absolute blast! I have been spending time with the cast as we go out and about in L.A. and having barbecues at each other houses or spending the whole day at amusement parks like Disney Land and Knotts, which were a blast by the way. Just getting to spend more time with them was the best.

It got even better when we came back to Massachusetts to spend the rest of July with the Evans clan-which meant I got to spend my birthday out here with them as well. I had the best time of my life, getting to spend time with them, getting the occasional birthday calls and messages through out the day from family and friends. It got even more better when I awoke the next day to see Chris post on his Instagram a picture of me and Dodger sleeping with an adorable caption, making it official that we were together.

Things just couldn't get better.

It amazes me at how at peace and at home I feel here in Massachusetts but it also scares me as I know I will have to go back to California for college. I'm hoping that maybe one day... I can stay here permanently, with my boys.

"Babe, yah ready to go? Everyone's a'ready waitin' for us at the lake." Chris shouts through the house at the front door.

"Yeah love, I'm comin'!!" I yell back, grabbing my mini backpack and walk towards the front door, as I make sure all the lights and doors are off and closed.

We have been here for the past three weeks and we've had nothing but fun, either by ourselves or with the family. Yesterday we decided to go and spend the whole day at the lake with everyone, so we had gotten up around six, got ready, ate breakfast... well I was the one who was still getting ready as Chris loaded the car with Dodger following him around till he was placed in the car and was told to stay so now he was watching from inside the car.

I open the passenger door and was greeted with my fur-son wagging his tail and smiling at me with his tongue out.

"Hey baby boy, ooh look at you. Aren't you so cute. Yes you areee," I cooed at him scratch the side if his ears as I held his furry face in my hands.

"Alrigh', alrigh' let's go. Yah can coo over him on the way to the lake," Chris tells me, wrapping his arms around my waist as he lays his head on my shoulder.

"Oh it's so great to see yah again sweetheart," Lisa tells me, pulling me into a bone crushing hug.

"Ma, yah just saw her two days ago." Chris laughs as he pulls me out of Lisa's arms before she can cut the flow of oxygen from entering my lungs.

"I know hun but that' felt like so long ago-" she paused, turning to me. "Now lemme see that number on yah finger again girl." She pulls my hand out to her to examine the promise ring I got from Chris last month.

I couldn't help but giggle at her action. Chris just rolls his eyes playfully and walks away to help his father and brother-in-laws with setting up.

"Ma yah just asked to see it two days ago, give the poor gal a brake." Scott scolds her playfully, pulling me into his arms.

"Gosh yah sound like yah brother over there, I understand that but I'm just hopin' that it gets exchange for somethin' better soon." She exclaims loudly as she walks away, making sure Chris could hear her as she looks straight at him the whole time.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing along with Scott as the older woman sashay away to talk to her daughters.

"Yah know, she ain't the only one waitin' for that day to come too... and I'm sure we ain't the only one as well." Scott winks at me as he starts walking towards the girls, tugging me along with him.

We are all sitting on the boat, relaxing with one another. I was holding Nick in my lap, his head laying on my shoulder as Stella laid against Chris' side, under his arm. I sighed out if comfort and content, leaning more into Chris while pulling Miles more into me as he cuddles into my side. I realized he fell asleep a while ago so I tried not to move so much so he can sleep peacefully, thankfully we had packed blankets with us as I had one laying over both of us, keeping us both warm from the cold that's lightly nipping at my face.

I look up to Chris to find him already looking down at me with a look of adoration as he scans over NIck and I's form.

"What cha thinkin' bout?" I whisper to him.

"Nothin'" he hums, as he places a kiss on my forehead, then one on Miles and Stella who had fallen asleep moments ago. I hear a click of a camera but didn't care as I closed my eyes, feeling the best I ever felt in a while. I just wanted to rest my eyes but I guess I was too comfortable as I ended up falling asleep as well.

I feel movement as I come out of my deep sleep. I squint my eyes open a bit as I hear complaining and realize it's Miles as Carly holds him in her arms, or at least trying to as he squirms around trying to get out of her hold.

"Miles no, she is asleep and has to go home ok? You will she her tomorrow." Then he starts crying even harder.

I couldn't help but feel so sad hearing his cries. I open my eyes fully and try getting out of Chris' hold, which he puts me down as soon as he realizes I'm awake. I walk over to Carly who's still holding a crying Nick,

"If it's alright with you, he can stay with us for the night." I offer her, which makes Nick stop crying once he sees me and starts holding his arms out to me for him to grab him.

"Oh I don' know, I don' want him to be a bother."

"No in fact, I would love to have him over if you dont mind!" I assure her a smile forming on my lips.

She looks unsure at first but then agrees, handing over the five year old who couldn't be more happier to be in my arms. He sticks his head in my neck and snuggles into me, his grip tightening as if I would let him go. I smile then give her a hug goodbye as I go around giving everyone else one. I look to see Chris grabbing our belongings along with Nick's bag and load it in the car. Once I make sure he's buckled in and ready to go I get in the passenger as Chris got in the driver's after putting Dodger in.

"Alrigh', everyone ready to go?." Chris asks looking from me to the boys in the back with a big smile on his face. With a nod of approval from everyone, he starts the car and heads down the road.

"I got him." I whisper to Chris as I move around him to grab the sleeping five year old. I start walking to the house with the two boys trailing behind me, when we get inside I put Nick down in the guest bedroom, the one that's across from Chris' so I can keep an eye on him.

I smile down at him and move a strand of hair out of his face before I lean down and place a gentle kiss on his forehead. When I walk out I leave the door ajar in case be wakes up and gets scared,

"He still asleep?" Chris whispers as I head to the the drawers and pick out my pajamas for the night.

"Yepp he is." I tell him, walking to the bathroom to put on my clothes and brush my teeth. I hop in to bed, getting under the blankets as I wait for Chris to join me which he does a couple minutes later.

"Yah know... you would make a great mother one day." He whispers to me, as he moves a strand of hair that has fallen in front of me face as I look at him.

"Oh... thank you," I mumble, not knowing what to say. "Would you um... want kids?" I question hesitantly. He was quiet for a while till I feel him place his hand on my face, rubbing his thumb along my cheek.

"Yeah, some day I would... but only when the time is right... and when you're ready." He confessed, leaning his head on mine. I couldn't help but close my eyes as I think over what he said.

He wants kids... with me...

"I hope you don't mind waiting for a while..." I tell him.

"For you... I would wait for an eternity sweetheart."
