Richard's POV:754Please respect copyright.PENANABMqZb4HBta
On the way to Henry's home, many things crossed my mind, many questions and ideas, but neither the questions had answers nor my ideas of meeting with Kristen were possible.
After all Henry has promised that he will keep me from meeting with her, that was the only way for saving me from all the drama with our parents.
"Don't worry too much bro! Everything will be okay" Henry said, interrupting my chain of thoughts and crazy ideas.
I sighed and hoped he is right, after all these drama I hope there's a way for solving everything.
"I hope you're right" I mumbled, and stared out the window, people looked so happy and carefree that they almost made me jealous, but I knew better, I knew they're all pretending they're happy. Just like how I pretended I was happy before I met with Kristen again, and before my world turned upside down.
"You know I'm always right" Henry joked, which made me chuckle despite the hard situation I'm going through right now, this is what I like about my brother, he always makes me happy and he always cares for me.
My brother and I have nothing in common except for our looks if I say so myself, he's smart and very hardworking, unlike me. I'm very lazy when it comes to work and studying, but then I tend to work hard too if I feel like it, and I'm smart only when I want to be smart.
Henry is always loyal, he has been loyal all his life, to his friends, to his girlfriends, and to his colleagues at work. Unlike me, I tend to disappoint anyone whom I meet and who trusts me.
I hope Henry is right, I hope I'm not a disappointment after all.
"Trust me everything is gonna be okay" Henry whispered as if reading my thoughts.
As we arrived to Henry's house, and Henry's wife, Jessica opened the door to greet me, I felt myself at home immediately.
Jessica smiled as she saw me, and walked towards me to hug me, I smiled back and hugged her too, she was the perfect match for Henry, innocent, very kind and very loyal too, she's one of the best friends I have.
"I've missed you " Jessica said and let go of me to look me in the eyes.
"I've missed you too, Jess" I said and smiled warmly at her, I'm so glad that I meet them again, after all these years.
"Where's Sam?"I asked, and that was when I saw a little figure, hiding behind Jess. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Hey, buddy. Don't you wanna talk with uncle Rich?" Henry said and grabbed his little hand, walking Sam towards me. And then I was able to see Sam fully, he surely has grown but he was still tiny and very cute.
Sam's small brown eyes were staring at me with wonder, he looked very shy but his small cute smile was warming my heart. Looks like his parents have told him about me.
"You da teddy pear man?" Sam said shyly and his himself behind Henry.
"Teddy pear?" I asked confused as to what the hell he means.
"Umm Richard weren't you supposed to buy a teddy bear for man here?" Henry asked, his eyes pleading. And that's when I knew I had to lie. Whatever the Jess and Henry has promised Sam I'll buy, they're gonna pay for it.
"Yeah I'm him, so why don't come and give me a kiss, tell me what color do you want your teddy bear be and I'll buy it for you okay?" I said and bent on my knees with my arms wide open for him.
"Okie" Sam whispered.
Sam slowly came out from his hiding place, and walked towards me, his tiny steps made my heart skip a beat.
Who said I wouldn't like to be a father? I just don't want that evil woman to be the mother of my child, I want it to be Kristen, my baby.
As Sam approached me I smiled and hugged his tiny figure.
"Now do you like a white bear or the red ones?" I asked him as I pinched his little nose. Sam giggled and smiled widely at me.
"I like da led one" he said. I smiled and got up as I held Sam's little hand in my hand.
"Sammy buddy, your uncle is tired, why don't you go to your room and finish that drawing you had, hmm?" Jess said as she held Sam's hands in her hands and led him towards a room opposite to us.
"Richard, Jess has prepared the upstairs room for you, so just go and take a rest, call me when you need anything." Henry said as he smiled sadly at me, and touched my shoulder gently.
"Ok, bro. Thanks" I mumbled, and walked lazily up the stairs, to where Henry said the guest room is.
I opened the door of the bedroom, and threw myself on the bed, I didn't realize I was that tired until I fell asleep.
But my peaceful sleeping was interrupted by having a nightmare about Kristen.
Kristen's tears were pouring on her cheeks, a she stared at me, I wanted to speak many times but no words came out.
Kristen looked like she was speaking too but I couldn't hear anything. And when at last I heard her I sat up on my bed panting, and feeling the pain my chest again.
"Where are you?" She said in my dream.
So I just remember calling Henry and telling him to go find Kristen and bring her to me no matter what.
