Love Online Chapter 22

Warnings: some language and just cute fluff. If I missed something sorry, but that should be it.

Chris and Merida ride the elevator to the lobby. Chris looks over at Merida, he can't wait for her to see what he has planned for the day. He and Scott worked hard to make this week the best ever. Scott helped with the last part the most. Scott had told him he had an idea for their day at Epcot. Chris had no idea what he planned he was little nervous. He loved surprising Merida and seeing her smile, but he himself, sometimes surprises made him anxious. He just hopes Scott doesn't embarrass him. They walked out of the elevator and Chris's family and her dad were all waiting for them. As soon as Stella saw them, she ran up to Chris.

"Uncle Chris!"

"Hey, aren't you cute! I love your outfit." Chris says picking her up.

"Thank you." She looks over at Merida. "I like your shirt. I love Minnie mouse!"

"Thanks sweetie."

"Well, you guys ready to go and get this fun filled day started?" Scott asks.

Chris looks over at Merida. "You ready babe?"

"Yep."

They walked towards the bus that was taking them to Epcot. Chris was still carrying Stella and holding Merida's hand.

"Merida, got you something. Stella helped me pick it out. She even picked out the bag. She said Grandma that one! The princess bag Merida will love it." Lisa says handing her a gift bag.

"Oh wow, you didn't have to get me anything."

"Stella wanted to."

Merida opens the bag. "Oh wow. I love it! Thanks."

"You're welcome. I thought you could use it to carry stuff in around the park. I have already put a few things in I thought you might need." Lisa smiles.

"Thanks Lisa, thanks Stella." Merida says looking over at Stella who is sitting on Chris's lap.

"You're welcome." She says smiling. "It matches your shirt."

"You're right it does."

Merida pulls her phone from her back pocket and puts it in the front pocket of her new purse. She also folds up the bag and tissue paper and put them in her purse as well. Chris looks over at her, smiles and squeezes her hand.

A few minutes later they arrive at Epcot. They head into the park.

"So, what's first on the agenda?" Lisa asks.

Chris looks at Scott. Scott smiles.

"Well first we get breakfast, then you will see."

Everyone laughs. They head to San Angel Inn Restaurante. They don't have to wait long before they are seated at a table. Chris pulls out the chair for Merida and gets ready to sit down next to her when Stella says.

"Uncle Chris can I sit beside Merida?"

"Sure."

Merida smiles as Stella takes the seat next to her. Chris sits down on the other side of Stella. A waitress comes and gets their drink orders they look at the menu.

"I have no idea what to get."

"Their omelets are amazing!" Scott says.

"I was actually looking at that."

"The Mexican one is the best." Scott says.

Just then Merida hears her go phone off. She pulls it out of her bag and sees an Instagram message. She hesitates to open it but decides to read it and see what it says.

Fangirl#4 Merida you are a stupid ugly slut! You are taking the most wonderful, caring, romantic gentleman from all of us! Why? You don't deserve him. You're all wrong for him. I know you think you make him happy and maybe you do for now, but it won't last. You will see! You are living in a dream world! It's only a fantasy. Happily Ever afters don't really happen! Wake up! He will get tired of you and cheat on you, and you will be left heartbroken. I will then only say I told you so! End it now before it's too late. Don't take the most wonderful man in this world away from us! Please I'm begging you, don't marry him! He's all wrong for you! He is only using you and only making you think he loves you, but you will see it all come back to haunt you and your little fairytale will all end and you will wake up and realize it was all a dream! You will be left heartbroken! So do yourself a favor before it's too late and end it with Chris!

Merida reads the message and holds back her tears then stands up. She grabs her purse and shoves her phone in the front pocket.

"I will be right back I need to use the restroom." Chris looks up at her, grabs her hand as she walks by and mouths "Are you okay?"

Merida just nods, let's go of his hand and leaves the table. Scott looks at Chris.

"Everything okay?"

"I think so."

Minutes go by and Merida still has not returned.

"I'm getting worried. Merida should have been back by now." Chris says.

"Want me to go check on her?" Carly asks

"Sure thanks."

Carly gets up from the table and heads to the restroom.

"Merida, you still in here?"

She hears a sniffle. "Yeah."

"You, okay? It's Carly. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm okay." She sniffles.

Carly walks towards the stall she is in. "Are you sure? You can talk to me."

Merida sniffles again. "It's nothing. I know I shouldn't let it bother me but..."

"Let what bother you? What happened?"

Merida continues to sniffle and then starts crying again. "Nothing, never mind."

"I will be happy to listen if something is bothering you, you can tell me."

Back at the table

"Why aren't they back yet?"

"I'm sure they will be back soon Chris. Don't worry." Lisa says reaching across the table and patting his hand.

"I can't help but worry mom. Something happened. Her phone went off and then she gets up and goes to restroom. I want to know what's going on."

"Chris sweetheart don't worry. Carly is with her. I'm sure everything is fine, and she will be back in a minute. Stop worrying."

Chris takes a deep breath. "Okay I will try."

"Uncle Chris?" Stella asks looking up at him.

"Yeah Stella?"

"Is Merida, okay?"

Chris tries to smile. "I think so."

"Will she be back?"

"Yes."

Back in the bathroom

"Really Carly I'm fine. I just want to be alone right now. Please."

"Okay. But if you decide you want to talk I will happy to listen."

"Thanks." She sniffles

Carly then leaves the restroom and heads back to the table. Chris looks up and sees Carly walking back but doesn't see Merida.

"Where's Merida? Is she coming? Is she okay?"

"She...she told me she wanted to be alone."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know she wouldn't tell me. But she is crying in the bathroom."

"Okay that's it, I'm going!" He says standing up.

"Chris, what are you going to do? You can't go in the girl's restroom." Scott says.

"Watch me!"

"Chris, wait! She said..." Lisa started to say but Chris cut her off

"Mom, I'm going! Something happened and I want to know what! My fiancé is in the bathroom crying! I'm going!" He then left the table and heads towards the restroom.

"I'll go with him. I'll stand outside and guard the door." Scott says and stands up and follows behind Chris.

"Scott what are you doing?"

"I'm coming with you."

"I got this! It's okay."

"Someone has to got to guard the door while you're in there."

Chris smiles. "Fine."

Chris reaches the restrooms. "You go on I will wait outside and make sure no one goes in till you come out."

"Okay."

Chris enters the restroom. "Babe, you, okay?"

"Chris?"

"Yeah. What's going on?"

"Why are you in the girl's bathroom? You can't be in here!"

"I'm worried about you. Carly said you were crying. What happened?"

"Chris, you can't...."

"Don't worry Scott is guarding the door. Talk to me."

Merida sniffles and cries. Chris walks toward the bathroom stall.

"Babe, what's wrong? Open the door, talk to me."

"It's nothing really, I..."

"Babe don't say that. You know I hate it when you say that. It's not nothing. You're crying. Please tell me what happened?"

Merida continues to cry and sniffle.

"Merida, babe please open the door and talk to me. Don't shut me out. Please."

"Is all this a dream?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"Are you dream? Is all this just my imagination and I will wake up and none of will have happened?"

"Babe, you're scaring me. What are you talking about? This isn't a dream. I'm here. What is going on?"

Merida continues to cry harder.

"Merida, come on babe. Tell me what's going on."

Merida is quiet. All that can be heard is her sniffling and crying and the occasional dripping of water from one of the faucets.

"Babe, please just open the door and talk to me. Don't do this. Don't shut me out."

Merida reaches up and unlatches the door. Chris hears the click and pulls the door, and it swings towards him. He looks down and sees Merida on the floor in front of the toilet. Her eyes are a little swollen, her eyelashes are wet and she has tears running down her face.

"Merida, babe." Chris sits down in front of her and pulls her towards him into his lap and holds her. Merida continues to cry.

"Hey shh, it's okay. What happened?"

"Why?"

"Why what babe?"

"Why me? I don't..." she says through tears.

"Why you what? What is it?"

"I don't deserve you, Chris. I don't. This is all too good to be true. I just..."

"Babe, hey, we have talked about this. I thought everything was fine and you weren't going to talk like this anymore. What happened?"

"You are going hate me!"

"What? I'm not going to hate you. Why would you say that? Did you do something that you think I will..."

"No, you're going to hate me later. You're going to regret me."

"Merida, what is going on? Talk to me! What the fuck happened?" Chris asks getting a little upset.

Merida kept crying on Chris's shoulder.

"Babe, tell me please, now!"

"I got a message."

"A message? From who? Bradley again?"

Merida shakes her head against his chest.

"Then who?"

"A fangirl."

"Oh geez. Show me."

Merida reaches behind her and pulls her phone from her bag. She pulls up the message and shows Chris. Chris takes the phone from her and reads the message.

"Oh shit! Geez, it's the same one who's making all those comments. This is ends now!"

Merida sniffles. "What are you going to do?" Merida asks through tears.

"Blocking and reporting her ass!" Chris reports her, blocks her and makes sure the message is gone and she can't comment anymore.

"Okay done. She will be gone."

Merida sniffles. "Babe, look at me."

Merida looks up at Chris with her head still on his chest.

"I love you! I love you so freaking much. You are my life. You are my future. Nothing in this world could ever change that! I could never hate you! I would never ever cheat you! Okay?"

Merida nods her head and sniffles.

"Now stop crying. There shouldn't be anymore negative comments she will be gone soon."

"Chris." Merida says sitting up.

"Yes babe?"

"I'm sorry."

"Hey it's okay. I know all this is hard for you. I understand that. But don't worry. It will all be okay." He puts his hand on either of her face and rubs his thumbs under her eyes drying her tears.

"Now stop crying. I want to see your beautiful smile, that I love."

Merida sniffles.

"Come on babe."

Merida looks down at Chris's shirt.

"Your shirt is all wet."

"It's okay. Come on give me smile. Please."

Merida bites her lip.

"God, you, and that lip. What am going to do with you?" Chris leans forward and kisses her. Merida reaches up places her hands on either side of Chris's face as they continue to kiss.

"Hey you two? Everything okay in there? You've been in there a while? I have already shooed away 9 women and they weren't happy!"

Chris and Merida pull away from each other and both laugh.

"Finally! There is that smile that love. Leave it to my brother to get you to smile."

"I love you, Chris."

"I love you too babe, now come on let's get off this floor and out of this bathroom before there is a post on the media about me being in the girls bathroom."

Merida laughs again. "That would get them talking." She said smiling.

"Yeah, not the kind of post I want to have to deal with."

Chris stands up and holds out his hands. Merida takes his hands and pulls her up and gives her another kiss. "Now, no more talk about you not being good enough for me and that I will hate you. Okay?"

Merida nods her head.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay, and also no more shutting me out and hiding out in the girl's bathroom," Chris smiles.

"Okay."

"Let's go." He says holding out his hand.

"Can you give me a minute?"

Chris gives her a look.

"I just want to splash some water on my face and redo my make up."

Chris smiles.

"You don't need make up. You're already beautiful" he says coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her from behind her. They are looking at each other in the mirror.

"Aww thanks Chris, but I need just a little. I look pale."

"No, you don't."

"Well at least a little to hide that I have been crying."

Chris smiles. "Alright. I will wait outside." He kisses her head and then walks out.

"Chris, there are you! Everything okay? Where's Merida?"

"She's coming. Yes, everything is fine."

"What happened?"

"She got a threating fangirl message, but I took care of it. All that should be in the past now."

"Geez they just won't leave her alone, will they?"

"No, but as I said all that should be done now. It should all be over."

"I hope so. I hate this keeps happening to her and you. I know it's hard on you."

"Yeah. Hey, you haven't seen any camara's have you?"

"Uh...no. Why?"

"I just want to make sure this doesn't end up on the news or on social media."

"Oh, right. Yeah no one. Just some angry women who wanted in the bathroom."

Chris laughs. "What did you tell them?"

"I told a few of them that someone had gotten sick in there and that they didn't want to go in. A few I told a guy was in there because the men's was full."

Chris laughs. "Your funny."

Merida just then comes out of the bathroom. Chris looks at her and smiles. "You ready now?"

"Yep."

Chris holds out his hand and Merida takes it, and they head back to the table.

When they reach the table everyone looks up at them.

"Everything okay?" Lisa asks.

"Yes, everything is fine. We worked it out." Chris says as he took his seat once again.

Merida took her seat next to Stella.

"Merida, you okay? Why were you crying?"

"Stella!" Carly fusses

"What mommey? I was just asking."

"It's okay Carly. I'm okay. Something just upset me, but your uncle Chris helped me to feel better." She said as she looks over at Chris and smiles. Chris smiles back.

"Oh, okay."

"While you three were gone the waitress came back."

"Did you guys order?" Scott asks

"We started too but then we didn't know what you wanted so we decided to wait." Carly says

"Oh, sorry." Chris says.

"It's okay sweetheart, I'm just glad everything is okay."

The waitres finally returns and they all order. They talked while they waited. Talked about all the rides they loved.

"Merida,"

"Yes." She says looking down at Stella

"Do you like the frozen ride?"

"I don't know. I've never ridden it before."

"You haven't!"

"No it wasn't here the last time I was here."

"Oh it's the best! It's my favorite! You will love it!"

"I'm sure I will." Merida smiles.

Later when their food arrives it got a little quieter while they all ate.

"Mer, what do you think of the omlete?" Scott asks

"It's good."

"It's the best isn't it? I told you."

"Yeah it's great."

They finish eating after Scott and Chris pay for the food they leave. Chris was going to pay but Scott insisted he pay after a brief argument they agreed to split it. Chris takes Merida's hand as they leave the table. Stella grabs Chris's other hand.

"So where to Scott?" Chris asks.

"Let's go towards Italy and along the way we might stop we if see something we want to do."

They walk through Epcot and stopping along the way. Merida takes several pictures along the way. She even gets Scott to take some of her and Chris. A woman walks by and asks if she can take on of all of them together. When they reach Italy they ride the frozen ride. It was all Stella kept talking about. She kept asking when they would get to ride it.

"Wasn't the greatest ride ever?" Stella asks Merida as they come out of the ride.

"Yes that was neat. I loved it.

It started getting starting dark. Scott looks down at his watch. This is the third time Chris has seen him check his watch.

"Scott are you anxious about something? You keep checking your watch. Whats up?"

"Just checking the time."

"That's about the third time."

"You will see soon. In fact." Scott looks out towards the water. They all follow his gaze at a boat coming. It stops at the small dock. "This way." Authors note I know this shows the hotels but for my story we are going to pretend they aren't there. They are in Epcot! ☺️

They follow Scott towards the boats.

"Ooo boats! We are going on a boat ride?" Stella asks

"We aren't they are." Scott says motioning to Chris and Merida.

"What?" Merida asks.

"Just us?" Chris asks.

Scott nods. "Yep. Go on you two."

"But I want to go! Please mommy! Can I go too?"

"Well I don't know. Your uncle Scott has this all planned and I think this was something special for him and Merdia. I..."

Chris looks over at Stella. "She can come. Come on Stella."

"Are you sure Chris?" Carly asks

"Yes. That okay babe?"

"Yes that's fine."

They head towards the boat. Chris climbs in and takes Merida's hand helps her in and then helps Stella in.

"See you guys when you get back!" Scott calls.

They find a seat on the boat. Chris sits next to Merida and Stella is on the other side of him. Chris wraps his arm around Merida. As they start off Merida watches the view go by.

"This amazing! So beautiful. I've never seen Epcot like this before."

Merida lays her head on Chris's chest. Chris smiles and leans down and kisses her head.

"Did you plan this?"

"Nope, this was all Scott. I knew he was planning something, but I had no idea what."

"Oh. Well this is great."

Merida pulls out her phone and snaps some pictures. She even takes some of Chris. They even take a selfie together. Chris has to hold the phone, he has longer arms than she does and could hold the phone steadier than she could.

Just as Merida took this pic Chris popped his head in and she fussed at him and he just laughed.

Finally they arrive back at the dock where they started. Everyone is waiting for them.

"Mommy that was amazing!" Stella says as she runs off the dock when Chris sets her on the ground.

Chris and Merida are the last to get off, Chris helps Merida step out of the boat. They walk towards the group.

"Thanks Scott." Chris says.

"Your welcome. I thought you would like it. It was supposed to be a romantic one for just the two of you but..."

"It's okay. It was still romantic. I loved it. Thanks Scott." Merida says hugging him.

"Hey, isn't almost time for the fireworks?" Shawn, Merida's dad asks.

"Yes I think it is. We need to get a good spot. Where to Chris? You know the best spot." Scott asks.

"Umm, over here."

They stand at the railing close to the water. Merida is standing at the railing with her hands on the rail looking out over the water. Chris wraps his arms around her from behind her and lays his chin on her shoulder.

"You had fun?"

"Yes I have. This has been great Chris. Thanks." She says as she turns her head and gives me a kiss. "I love you."

"Love you too babe."

Then the fireworks start. Merida snaps lots of picutures. The lights, the music were all spectacular. Merida loves every minute of it.

"This is so great! I've never watched this before."

"You haven't?" Chris asks surprised.

"No the last time I was here I had to leave the park before it started. I don't remember why but I wasn't able to see it. This is my second time coming to Epcot, at least that I remember. I think I came when I was younger but I don't remember it."

"Uncle Chris." Stella says grabbing onto his leg.

"Yes?"

"I'm scared! It's loud!"

"It's okay." Chris leans down and picks her up. "There is nothing to be scared of. Look, it'snt it pretty. Look at those colors." He says pointing.

"Oh here comes the finalie!" Scott says and looks at Chris and smiles.

"Watch this Stella. Get ready to look up." He whispers in her ear.

Merida could not believe what she saw when all the fireworks went off. These words flash across the sky as the fireworks go off.

"Oh my gosh!" Merida looks up at Chris.

"Did you?"

Chris smiles down at her and kisses her.

"Thank you Chris."

"Your welcome babe. I love you."

"I love you too." Then just as the snow was about end

"Oh my gosh!"

"Now that I didn't do!" Chris says.

"That was your name!" Stella exclaims! "That said Chris and Merida."

"It did your right." Chris smiles and looks over at Scott. Scott smiles.

"Well thanks guys, this was fun." Shawn says.

"Your welcome Shawn. You guys ready to head back to the hotel?" Scott asks

"I know I am. I'm getting tired." Lisa says.

Chris is still holding Stella. She has laid her on his shoulder. "I think someone else is too." Chris says smiling. "You getting sleepy Stella?"

"No I'm not sleepy." She says yawning.

"Oh you're not huh? Then was that yawn I just saw?"

"I didn't yawn. I was stretching my mouth. See." She opens her mouth wide and shows Chris.

Chris laughs. "Right okay. If you say so."

They start walking slowly following the crowd towards the gate. Merida is holding Chris's right hand while he holds onto Stella with his left hand. When they reach the gate Merida looks over at Chris and sees that Stella has fallen asleep on his shoulder, she smiles.

"Chris."

"Hmm."

"She is finally asleep." She says nodding her head towards Stella.

Chris looks down at Stella asleep on his shoulder and smiles. "I knew she was tired."

They make their way towards the bus that will take them back to their hotel. Merida slides into the seat next to the window and Chris sits beside her still holding Stella. He reaches over and takes Merida's hand and rubs his thumb along the back of her hand. Merida leans over and puts her head on his shoulder. He leans down and kisses her head. When they reach the hotel everyone starts getting off. Chris is about to stand up when he realizes Merida is asleep on his shoulder. Scott walks by and sees.

"Looks like you wore the girls out."

"I wore the girls out?"

Scott laughs. "Want me to take Stella and you can get Merida?"

"What are you thinking I am going to pick her up?"

Scott laughs again. "Well no, but hey you could. She's can't be that heavy."

Chris laughs. "No, but I'm not to try and pick her up. I will just have to wake her."

"Here let me take Stella." Scott reaches down and takes Stella from Chris's arms.

"We will see you tomorrow. Goodnight Chris."

"Goodnight Scott. Thanks for everything."

"Your welcome." Scott says walking off the bus.

Chris looks down at Merida asleep on his shoulder. He hates to wake her but he knows he wouldn't be able to carry her off the bus, he probably could but didn't want to try.

"Merida, babe."

"Hmm."

"Wake babe. We are back at the hotel."

Merida sits up. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"It's okay. We had a long busy day."

Merida looks around. "Where is everyone?"

"They all already got off. We are the last ones."

"Oh."

Chris stands up and holds out his hand. Merida takes his hand and he pulls her and they walk off the bus together and head towards the elevator. Once they ride the elevator to their floor Chris takes the card from his pocket and unlocks the door.

"Ladies first." He says standing aside so Merida can go in.

"Thanks."

Merida walks into the room. "Oh man this room is cold!"

Chris walks into the room. "I think it feels good."

"Did you turn the air on before we left?"

"I don't think so."

Merida walks over to the air vent. "Oh gosh! No wonder its so cold in here its 60 degrees in here!"

"Don't turn it up too much or we will roast. We can always snuggle up together under the blankets. I can keep you warm." Chris says coming up behind Merida and wrapping his arms around her.

"Oh is that so?" She says looking up at him.

"Yes."

"Fine I will leave it then. Thanks Chris."

"For what?"

"For today. I loved it."

"Oh I almost forgot. I have something for you."

"Chris you didn't have to get anything. You have already done so much."

Chris pulls away from Merida and walks over to his suitcase on the floor and pulls out a black velvet box. He walks back to Merida and hands her the box.

"Oh Chris, what did you do?"

Chris just smiles. Merida opens the box to find two charms.

"Oh Chris, wow."

"I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I got them both."

"Wow, this one even has the monorail on it."

"You like them?"

"I love them. Thank you." Merida says leaning up and kissing him.

"Where is your bracelet?"

"It's in my purse."

"Why didn't you wear it?"

"I was afraid I might lose it or something would happen to it."

"I want to see it with those charms on it, how many do you have now?"

Merida walks over to her suitcase on the floor next to Chris's and opens it and gets her purse out and digs through it till she finds the bracelete. She walks back towards Chris and holds it out. Chris takes it and looks at it.

"Your getting quite a few." He adds the two new charms on it but then Merida notices he pulls something from his pocket and puts something else on the charm.

"Chris, what did you just add to it?"

"The charms I just got you."

"No you added something else other than that."

"No I didn't."

Merida takes the bracelete from him and looks at it.

"Chris! Oh my gosh! You sneek."

Chris smiles. "I found that one today and I couldn't resist."

"When? You hardly left my side."

"I might have snuck off when you and Stella went to the restroom after riding Frozen."

"Oh Chris." Merida smiles. "Why are you so wonderful?" She asks wrapping her arms around him.

"Because I love making you smile and seeing you happy."

Merida smiles again and kisses him. "I'm going to go get ready for bed."

"Okay babe."

Merida grabs her clothes from her suitcase and heads to the bathroom. While she is in the bathroom Chris changes into his pj pants and pulls off shirt. He has taken off his watch and put it on the bedside table when Merida walks out wearing these pjs and her glasses. Chris smiles

"Babe don't you look cute."

"Cute?" she says pulling her glasses down to her nose.

"Oh shit! Don't do that."

"Do what?" she asks putting her glasses back over her eyes and walking towards Chris.

"What you just did with your glasses."

"What? You mean this?" she says pulling them again towards her nose.

"God babe! Don't do that!" He says grabbing her and pulling her towards him, which makes her glasses to push back off her nose and over her eyes.

"Why not?"

Chris smiles. "Because that just looks incredibly sexy and..."

"And what?" she says reaching up and pulling them down again.

"Fuck! Babe your killing me!"

"Chris, language!"

"Sorry but, damn babe!"

"You still haven't told me why other than I look incredibly sexy."

Chris reaches up with one hand and rubs it over his mouth and chin. "It turns me on okay."

"Turns you on huh? Is that so?"

"Yeah. So you better..."

Merida looks down at him over the rim of the glasses that are still a little over her nose.

"Okay, your not funny! Stop! You are going to get me into trouble."

"How will I get you into trouble?"

Chris glares at her giving her this look

"What? Don't give me that look. How will that get you into trouble?"

"Because I am trying to behave myself and your making it incredible hard. Your making me want you."

"Oh?" Merida raises and eye brow at him.

"Babe, please don't tease me. I'm serious. We agreed to wait and...I..."

Merida clothes the little space between and wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him towards her and kisses him. Chris pulls away slightly after a few minutes.

"Oh babe, what am going to do with you. God I love you."

Merida smiles. "You still want me?"

"You have no idea."

"Well I'm all yours." She says smiling.

Chris smiles. "Babe, don't tease me like that."

"Who says I'm teasing you?"

"What? Your not serious?"

"Of course I am. I am all yours. I will one day be your wife."

"Babe you're so..."

"So what?"

"Adorable."

Merida smiles.

"I am going to go brush my teeth before we both do something we will regret."

He kisses her and walks towards the bathroom.

"Chris!"

"What?"

He asks turning around after he reaches the door and places a hand on the door frame.

"What does that mean?"

"What does what mean?"

"Oh don't play innocent. You know what you said."

"Merida, babe. I only meant that...I want to wait alright?"

"I get that, but the way you said it."

"Babe. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Chris says walking back towards her and wrapping his arms around her again. "I just want our first time to be special and I want it to be when we are married."

"Aww Chris. Really?"

"Yes. I know you want to wait, right?"

"Yes, I mean I think so."

"You think so?"

"Well I mean. I have...thought about..."

"Thought about what?"

Merida bites her lower lip.

"Babe, what? What's got your nervous now?"

"I've about us...you know...before..." she says continuing to bite her lip.

"Oh babe! I have too, but I really think we should wait, okay?"

"Is there a reason?"

"Well...you said before you wanted to wait until we were married and then also there's..."

"There's what?"

"Well I didn't actually come prepared for..."

"Oh." Merida smiles. "Got ya."

"Yeah."

"Well remember I am on birth control."

Chris starts to open his mouth to say something but then stops.

Merida smiles.

"Wait a minute. Your taking them all the time now? I thought it was only if you got a cramp."

"Well, yeah... that is true. But there is also the fact that I probably can't get pregnant."

Chris frowns. "Merida, lets not."

"Not what?"

"This has been an amazing wonderful day. I don't want to ruin that by having this conversation."

"What do you mean?"

"Please just stop."

Chris pulls away and walks back towards the bathroom and grabs his tooth brush. Merida walks towards the bathroom. Chris puts tooth paste on his brush and is about to put it in his mouth when she says,

"Stop what? What did I say? I'm only being honest. It's what the doctor..."

"Merida stop!" Chris hollars a little louder than he meant to.

Merida bites her lip and starts to cry then walks away.

"Shit!" Chris says under his breath. He looks in the mirror and tries to calm down. He hears Merida crying. He throws the brush in the sink and holds onto the counter.

"Shit! Shit!"

He takes a deep breath then walks towards the bed. Merida is lying down on the bed with her back away from him crying. Chris sits down on the bed and rubs her back.

"Babe, I'm sorry."

Merida sniffles. "You didn't have to yell at me."

"I know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just...I don't want to talk about this right now. We still don't know for sure it's not possible. I don't want to give up just yet, but I also..."

Merida turns and looks at him. "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am. I won't ever give up. You never know a miracle could happen."

"Oh Chris!"

Merida sits up and throws her arms around him and cries.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I never should have even said it. Forgive me."

Chris pulls back a little and looks into Merida's eyes. "Of course I forgive you babe. I love you so much. I'm sorry too. Now its late. Lets get some sleep."

"Okay."

Merida climbs under the covers. Chris stands up and walks back towards the bathroom.

"Chris?"

"What?"

"Where are you going?"

"I still haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"Oh, right. Sorry."

Chris finally gets his teeth brushed and then climbs in bed next to Merida. They snuggle up close. Chris is out in no time and snoring, but Merida can't seem to get to sleep. She keeps thinking about the wonderful day and then what Chris had just said. He wasn't giving up. He truly believed they could have a child one day. She wanted to believe too and give him that one day, but she just didn't think it would happen. She knew what the doctors had told her and also even though she dreamed about doing it with Chris, it scared her death. She remembered the doctor telling her it would be hard for her. She reaches over beside her and picks up her phone. She looks at all the pictures she had taken that day. She begins going through them and making collages. Then she pulls up Instagram

Disneydoggrl83 -❤️ Today was such a wonderful day. I got to spend the day with Chris's family and my dad in Epcot. Scott set up a boat ride for me and Chris, but Stella ended up coming too. And then when it got dark we watched the fireworks show. It was incredible! Chris added to it as well Scott. It was amazing! Here are some pics from today. I still can't believe that I am engaged to such an amazing wonderful man! I love him so much!

After Merida shared her post she put her phone back on the table beside her and rolled over and cuddled up next to Chris and finally fell asleep.
