Authors note-sorry it had taken me so long to get this up. Hope you enjoy this chapter. There is some language in this chapter.
A few weeks later Chris comes home for the weekend. He had told Merida he was coming, but she didn't know what time. She was standing in the doorway to the backyard watching Dixie play.

            Chris gets out of the car and Dodger runs up to the door.

            "Dodger, be quiet, I want to surprise her. Okay bubba?"

            Chris opens the door and Dodger runs in and up to Merida. Merida looks down.

            "Dodger! Hey bud!" She says bending down and petting him.

            "Well so much for surprising you. I told him to be quiet, but he didn't listen." Chris says walking up to her.

            Merida laughs. "It's okay." Chris wraps his arms around her.

            "How are you babe?"

            "I'm okay. I've missed you."

            "I've missed you too."

Later that evening Chris and Merida are sitting on the couch curled up on the couch.

            "Babe?"

            "Yeah?"

            "I have to go to London next month for a movie premiere and I would like you to go with me."

            "Really?"

            "Yes. I would love to have my wife with me."

            "Oh Chris, I would love to go to London! When is it?"

            "June 13th is the premiere."

            "I can't wait! Wait, that's the day of your birthday!"

            Chris smiles. "Yes, it is."

            "Good I can be with you, and we can celebrate together."

Chris smiles again.

            "So what movie is it for?"

            "Lightyear."

            "Oh, the Disney movie!"

            "Yes."

            "When does it come to theaters?"

            "June 17th."

            "Oh, I can't wait to see it!"

Chris smiles again.

            "So, uh...are you done filming your movie you were working on?"

            "No not yet. But almost. I won't be done till May 12. But then I have lots of premieres in July and then also filming more in London in July."

            "Oh, what are you doing after you finish in May?"

            "Well, I have a few weeks before we will be heading to London, I thought about going camping and hiking."

            "Oh, that sounds fun!" Merida says exciting.

            "Uh...babe, it's just going to be me and Dodger."

            "Oh," she says a little sadly.

            "Babe, I need some time to myself."
