Chris POV
                          
"hey, come on, it's your first day of season 3." Melissa said trying to pull me out of bed. She was smiling. Even though it was my first day of a new season, her excitement was as high as usual. It was one of the many reasons I loved her. 
                          
She had to wait a couple more weeks for the start of season 5 of Supergirl, but she wanted it to come faster than it was. She pulled my arm and I just made her drag me out of bed, literally.
                          
"I would rather stay here." I said to her and closed my eyes again.
                          
"Chris....." She whined and let go of my arm. I thought I had won, but I did not. I heard many footsteps coming in here and then I felt the bed bounce. I shot my eyes open and saw them all.
                          
Farley, Drift, and Oliver were jumping on top of me. Oliver had his first day of second grade, but yet when he jumped on me, I knew he still did not realize that he was getting bigger, older, and heavier every day. 
                          
Drift and Farley moved to my right side and settled as Oliver laid on my left. Then, Melissa came in with Allison's in her arms, whose birthday was last week. She had just turned two, and every day she looked more and more like Mel. It'd be a lie if I said I was surprised. Allison wasn't quiet speaking yet, but Oliver loved to help her.
                          
"Allison said you have to get up." Oliver said into my ear. I turned to face him as he looked right at me with excitement. 
                          
"You think so?" I asked him as I rubbed his messy hair. I sat up and took my little girl out of Melissa's arms and she rested easily against my chest. I looked over at Melissa as she sat down and placed Oliver on her lap.
                          
"Dad, think you could bring me with you on Friday!" Oliver asked and we both turned to Melissa knowing she was the decider. She looked at me and then Oliver. "Come on, mom. We can all go!" Oliver said even more excited. I smiled at Melissa and scooted closer to her.
                          
"Come on, Mel. One day." I pleaded as I put Allison on my hip and grabbed her hand. Melissa looked irritated and seemed that she wanted to be stubborn, but just couldn't.
                          
"Why not?" She said laughing. Oliver jumped over to me and hugged me with joy. "But you should get going Chris, it's half past seven."
                          
"You want to take care of these knuckle heads on your own?" asked as I played with Oliver and Allison at the same time. Finally, I stood up and put Allison in her crib as Oliver ran out of the room.
                          
"You nervous?" She asked as she stepped closer to me. I sprayed the cologne on as I looked at her through the mirror.
                          
"Is it that noticeable?"
                          
She smiled and looked into my eyes with a calm expression. I turned so I had an even better of her. She quickly leaned in kissing me passionately causing my body to relax.
                          
"You'll do great. I know it." She smiled and then pushed me into the closet as she took Allison into her room to get the kids ready for school.
                          
I quickly got dressed and said my goodbyes. I got there a little early and greeted the cast. I hadn't grown a strong relationship with any of them like I had with Jeremy, Mechad, and David. It wasn't the same. 
                          
I walk into the table reading and only saw the directors sitting around the circular table.
                          
"Am I that early?" I asked with a laugh, deep down fearing I was actually late.
                          
"Chris, we called each of you in at different times. We have to discuss the season before we start." I nodded as I sat down facing them. 
                          
I was afraid I was getting fired, what had I done? I was late a few times when Allison was sick, but that's it. I thought I had been preforming pretty good, not my best but it was rough only getting a couple of hours of sleep every night. I took a big gulp.
                          
"We had changed the set to Portland." They smiled softly.
                          
"Oregon?" I said in dead shock. "For how long?" I felt myself tense up, waiting for their response.
                          
"5 months." I felt my mouth open wide as I sat there in denial. How could this be true? How could I be almost 3,000 miles away from my family for five months? "We understand it will be hard, Chris. Either you come with us and we will renew your contact for two more seasons, or we have to let you go. We need an answer by tomorrow."
