Been closing on a house, so I haven't had time to update a lot of my stories. I should be able to update them more this month…

Chapter 19 Revelations

Chris/Isabella's House – Same Day

"Love, why do you look so much older?" Isabella asks him.

"Ah, it's not 1994. It's 2009" he tells her. Isabella is shocked.

"What's going on?" she asks him. He can tell that she's starting to get anxious.

"About a month ago, you had to have brain surgery to get a tumor out of your brain. Since then, you've been in a coma", Chris says as he takes her hand and tries to comfort her. Just then, the doctor comes in and makes Chris leave. The doctor examines Isabella. He and Chris talk outside of Isabella's room. He tells Chris that the memory loss is permanent. They both go back into Isabella's room and inform her of the situation. The doctor informs her of her pregnancy and that she's pregnant with triplets. He also tells her that she can expect to make a full recovery. It will take a few months, but she should be back to herself.

Eventually, the doctor leaves. Tomorrow, he is going to have Isabella transferred to the hospital for some more tests. Meanwhile, her physical therapy will continue.

Chris and Isabella face an awkward silence when she begins to question him about her family and other stuff.

"So, did we plan the pregnancy or was it a surprise?" Isabella asks Chris. Chris is worried about how much of the past he should tell her – he's afraid of upsetting her.

"It was an accident", Chris says. He can tell Isabella wants more information.

"They were conceived while we were writing a movie script", Chris tells her. He moves over to sit on the bed next to her and he holds her hand.

"Wow! Three kids at once. That's really overwhelming!" Isabella says.

"There's more that you need to know. After we made your first movie, you became a world wide superstar. We moved here so that you would be out of the spotlight. In America and Canada, the media and other people would interfere with our private life. Things are more normal here", Chris tells her.

"I can't imagine myself as an international superstar. Can I watch some of our movies? Maybe it'll ring a bell", Isabella says.

"Sure, I'll get you some DVD's" Chris says.

"What are DVD's?' she asks him.

"Movies are now on little disks" Chris says. The nurse comes in and checks her vitals. Isabella is friendly with the nurse and chats with her. This is something that she wouldn't have done – not since becoming an international superstar. Chris thinks that maybe Susan was right and that becoming an international superstar may have changed Isabella a lot and that maybe he did feel guilt about his part in her success.

"Is there more to know?" Isabella asks him.

"You and I are separated. You filed for divorce", Chris tells her. He can see that she's shocked by this turn of events. In her time frame, they're within their first year of marriage and everything is happy.

"Why? Was it the brain tumor?" Isabella asks him.

"I think that some of it was the brain tumor. Maybe some of it was our struggle to deal with your fame", Chris tells her.

"I'm really stunned! I can't imagine divorcing you. I love you so much" she says. He can tell that she's getting tired.

"Do we have more children?" Isabella asks him.

"We have a ten year old son, Zak" Chris says.

"Where is he? Can I see some pictures of him? What's he like?" Isabella asks. He can tell that she's really excited about Zak. Chris spends the next hour telling her all about Zak from conception to today. He also shows her pictures of Zak. She sees pictures of them as a family and can't fathom her wanting to divorce him. In all the pictures they seem like the perfect family.

Chris and Isabella also talk about the family pets. They have a five year old German shepherd and she has many horses. They have a couple of other dogs, too.

Finally, Chris tells her that it's time for her to rest. He kisses her goodbye and heads to his study. Chris calls Isabella's family and tells them the joyous news. He also calls Paul Lewis (the head of the studio) and informs him of the news. Since Isabella's management team had make a public statement about her health and the pregnancy, good wishes had been pouring in from her fans. He contacted the management company and told them to break the news of Isabella's recovery. However, he didn't tell them about her memory loss.

The first thing that Chris noticed when she opened her eyes was that he could see the love for him in her eyes. He hadn't seen that look in her eyes for a long time. However, he was afraid that she would fall out of love with him and he was worried about their age gap. The gap in their ages had just increased by another 15 years!

The second thing that Chris noticed about Isabella was that she was the girl that he had fallen in love with. She acted like the back-woods girl that she had been – a little tough around the edges, relaxed, and the haunted look in her eyes was gone.

However, his greatest concern was that Isabella wouldn't have any feelings for Zak. He knew that she was excited to meet their son, but he wasn't sure if she would feel love for the child that she didn't remember carrying or giving birth to. How would she react to Zak?
