***The next morning****

Chris found himself in his hotel room his head was pounding as he slowly raised himself off his bed he looked around to find his hotel room trashed and alex sleeping in a chair in the corner of he room.

He was hoping it would all be a bad dream and Katie wasn't gone but looking round the room he realised it wasn't a dream. He could feel his heart ach tears fell from his baby blue eyes non of this felt real she was only 26 how could she be gone! How?.

He heard a grone come from alex and looking over he saw his best friend stretch out and rub his eyes before looking at him, chris could see the pain in alexs eyes Katie was his friend he had known her for at least 7years on and off but chris knew it and alex knew it he felt know were near as lost and hurt as chris was.

Slowly alex made his way over to chris he gave him a sympathetic smile "hey man, why don't you take a shower we have a flight to catch this afternoon" alex said softly not wanting to asking the stupid question of how was he felling.

Chris got a confused look on his face "flight?...what flight?" chris mumbled "dude we need to go to the hospital in Miami to talk to the doctor and you need to sort out what your doing about ...erm your ...katies... the baby" alex said softly knowing this was the last thing chris wanted to deal with but he had no choice.

Chris had a blank look on his face "im not going" he said flatly "what do you mean your not going chris this is your kid we are on about if you don't go she will be put into care is that what you want?" alex fumed he knew his friend was having a hard time but that baby had just lost her mum she didn't need to loose her dad too

"i don't want any thing to do with it...now leave it im going to the gym"

Chris rose from the bed and grabbed his gym bad a shirt off the floor and walked out of the door.

Alex sighed running his hand through his hair he knew chris wasn't thinking straight he needed back up and fast.

A couple hours later chris finally arrived back at his hotel room he'd spent the whole time at the gym beating the life out of a punch bag and now all he wanted to do was sleep, when he opened his door he was shocked to find the room had been cleaned up and all the broken furniture removed walking further in he found alex sat on his bed with Kyle and jay by his side.

"whats going on?" he asked looking from one to the other "chris look I know this is the last thing you wanna deal with right now but you have to face up to this your a dad chris and you have to go and look after your daughter" alex said as softly as he could but his anger clearly coming through chris sighed running his hands through his hair "look dude this is my choice now butt out all of you!" chris yelled feeling his pain build up more and more

Slowly kyle got to her feet walking over to him she didn't say anything she just put her arms around him and pulled him close feeling him cry on her shoulder after a few mins she pulled him back forcing him too look at her "chris listen to me i know your sceared and devastated but...katie is gone she is never coming back and you have a choice there is a little girl out there who Katie lives on in you can either go and collect her and bring her home and be the dad we all know you can be and forever have a piece of Katie with you or i know it will be hard but you can do it i know you can ...you can take the easy way out and send that poor baby off to be brought up by people who don't know her or Katie and she will never hear stories about how beautiful and kind her mum was" the tears were flowing thick and fast now from not only chris but from all four in the room. "I don't know the first thing about babies" chris whispered "i have nothing to offer her" he cried "your her dad ...thats enough and you have all of us and your family to help you raise the baby trust me" kyle softly whispered

Chris knew she was right now he just needed to get the balls to do it.
