As we were relaxing on the couch watching the bachelorette we got a phone call from Patty. We quickly answered.

"Big news." Party slowly said.
"What's up?" Millie asked as Caleb turned down the volume to hear.
"This might sound like a lot at once but I was waiting for the big numbers to rack up, you have made 50,000 sales which equals up to $200,500." Patty said confidently on the phone.
"What." Millie said as she put the phone on speaker.
"Oh my god-." Caleb heard.
"You got it girl! I'd suggest you start working on your new piece immediately; this is gonna be big for you. Gotta dash." She hung up.
"AHHH!" Millie yelled as she jumped on Caleb hugging him.
"Ow.. the ribs." He said.
"Sorry! But I did it." She breathed with relief.
"Yup, just in time for this little one." He rubbed her stomach.
"Yeah, when is the conference call? I hate to see you just looking around with despair like this." She frowned.
"Maybe a week or a month. Who knows. But I don't want to take this away from you. So, make some popcorn and thing of a new idea for your story?" She smiled.
"You could have read my mind." She smirked.

2 Weeks Later

They had just got back from a baby appointment and Caleb getting used to having his rib brace on, still having a knee cast as ..
"ITS HAPPENING!" Caleb called from the kitchen island.
"I'm coming!" She said rushing down the stairs.
"Hello, Mr. Robinson?" The NBA director said.
"Yes. I'm here." He looked at Millie with faith.
"So we have came into a decision about what your going to be doing for now on." He said.
"Wow okay, what's it gonna be?" Caleb said concerned.
"We are taking you off the team." He said.
"It's okay." Millie mouthed to him.
"Oh-"
"But, the coach is retiring in about a month or so. So we were wondering if you would be interested in becoming head coach?" Silence fell upon the room.
"SAY YES!" Millie mouthed.
"Y-es! That would be amazing actually." Caleb exclaimed.
"Great, sending over the contract now." He hung up.
"YES! This should be great Caleb!" She said.
"Wow, I'm gonna be a NBA coach." He came into realization.
"Don't you think it's crazy how we achieved our dreams here. We moved to LA at 22 and you joined the NBA and now a coach and I made 100,000 sales off my #1 book on amazon and a college teacher at Stanford. Crazy how life unfolds this way." She smiled.
