All At Once

It's Time

I highly suggest listening to the song for this chapter.

Myles 

*Three Months Later...*

We made it.

I've been waiting for this moment since the moment I picked up a football for the very first time. The countless hours of practice, the many times where I found myself on a field rather than hanging with my friends, finally feel worth it. 

Why? 

Because here I am playing in the biggest, most viewed game in the United States, the Super Bowl. 

My heart is beating harder with every play we run. And although my attention should be solely focused on the game, my eyes can't help but drift to the heavily pregnant love of my life, and soon-to-be fiance. 

Yes you heard correctly. 

Fiance. 

I have the ring picked out and everything, with the help of the guys of course. 

~flashback to two weeks ago~

"I can't believe you're settling down man," said Luke with a firm clap on the back. 

"Why's that?" I asked, overwhelmed by the sight of the many rings in front of me. 

He laughed lightly, "Well because not even ten months ago you had never even spoken to a girl."

"He's right, it is kind of a shock that out of all of us, you're the one who already has a kid on the way and a fiance in the making," Jake interjected. 

I guess they were right. 

I mean before Harper I was completely focused on my career. There was no one else. 

But now she's my everything, he and Harper have completely wrecked my life, but for the better. Now I'm not as lonely as I was before. I have a family. 

"Hey man, I may be wrong but this ring has Harper's name written all over it," Teagan calls from the other side of the display. 

I walk over to where he was standing and look at the ring he was pointing at. To my utter astonishment there it was, a beautiful ring, with the label next to it reading Harper. 

The sales lady walks to us, assessing the ring we were admiring. 

"Ah yes, Harper is one of our newer additions. She's beautiful isn't she?"

She sure is. 

"I'll take it."

After all the paperwork was filled out and the ring was finally mine we exited the store. 

"You headin' home to your girl," Jake asked wiggling his eyebrows.

I shook my head with a chuckle, "No actually I have one more stop I need to make."

I  knocked on the front door of the Riley residence, hoping that they were both home. 

The door opened and  there stood Fiona, with a surprised smile on her face. 

"Myles! Good to see you!" she exclaimed, bringing me for a warm hug. 

"Where's Harper?" she questioned, a confused smile on her lips.
