Come Home

by Chriskratt99

Martin leaves off to university to learn more about the environment, and leaves Chris in charge of the crew. The thing is, Chris is rather scared about being without his brother. Another thing, he is about to be a father! So what'll Chris decide to do? Cry for Martin to come back, or attempt to protect the crew and the mother of his baby?

2. Scared

It was an afternoon like any other. Except chris sat quietly fiddling with his coffee mug, bored. "CK dont you want to go on an adventure as usual?" "No honey im fine." Chris waved her off, and she sat down in front of him. "Something wrong?" "No." "You can tell me." Aviva grasped his hands, and chris looked at her. "Can you keep a secret?" "Yea." "I'm afraid... Next to martin i seem like im an expert... But in reality, im just a silly boy who is still scared of the dark." "Oh Chris... Thats not the guy i know. You're very smart and brave. I know you can do it." "Do what? Hide under the covers like a child of 3?" "Chris, i believe in you. You dont want your child to think of you as a wimp?" "Im not a wimp." Chris growled, and aviva smiled. "Exactly. Come on." Aviva led him to the garage, and chris froze at the exit. "Go on." "I-I cant!" Chris ran off into the room. Aviva ran after him, and found him shaking under the covers. "Chris... You weren't lying about being afraid of the dark?" "No." Aviva carressed the scared man's cheek, and smiled. "The dark is the same as light." "No it isnt!" "Look." Aviva turned off the light, and heard chris yelp. She turned the light back on,and chris peeked out from the covers. "You see?" "Still scared." Chris whimpered. Aviva shook her head, when koki came in. "Chris, call for you." "Whos it from?" "Martin." Koki smiled cheerfully, and left. "Hello?" "Bro! Im so happy to hear you!" "Me too." Chris grinned, and aviva sat down on the bed.

An hour later, chris heard snoring next to him. He turned, and saw aviva sleeping soundly against him. "Oops." He laughed, and looked outside. It was very dark. "Maybe not!" Chris yelped, and hid in the covers next to aviva. "Chris im not your mom." Aviva yawned, and chris whimpered. "But im scared..." Aviva shrugged, and fell back asleep. "I wish martin would come back..."
