Return to New York by Sharon
Chapter Four
Cris: What do you mean we have to have another baby Jess?
Jess: Cris, Shelby is going to die without the bone marrow. A brother or sister is her best chance. I can't take the chance she won't get the lease on her life. I can't lose another child, Cris. Please don't make me go through another heartache like that. Please.
She starts sobbing uncontrollably and Cristian takes her in his arms.
Cris: That's not going to happen. I will do anything to save our little angel girl. I will.
Jess: Does this include breaking Natalie? Because if we go through with this, we have to tell her why. and that will kill her.
Cris: We can't let our girl die. I just have one question.
Jess: Ok.
Cris: What happens when we get pregnant? Are we going to have to wait nine months?
Jess: Oh god no. We don't have that much time. They can take the transplant from the amniotic fluids. But Cristian. We are taking a huge gamble here. There's a chance the child won't even be a match.
Cris: I choose to think positively.
Jess: Yeah, me too. Are you ready to tell Natalie?
Cris: As ready as I'll ever be. Let's go.
After they get outside, Natalie knows somethings wrong.
Nat: Is something wrong? You two look like you've seen a ghost.
Cris: We have something to tell you.
Nat: Sounds serious.
Jess: Yeah. But not here. Let's go outside.
After they go outside, Cristian faces Natalie.
Cristian: I don't know how to tell you this.
Natalie: Tell me what?
Cris: I...
Nat: Just say it Cris. It can't be any worse than I'm imagining.
Cris: Ok. Natalie, I'm the father of Jessica's baby.
