"I just bought an engagement ring" I said stopping in my tracks, outside of the jewelry store. dre let out a low chuckle and nodded, "yeah, you did" he said. still in my own little world, I started at the open ring box in my hand.

"I just bought a fucking engagement ring" I deadpan, causing dre to laugh harder. "dude, how many times you gonna tell yourself that?" he asked.

I shrugged before sliding into the passenger seat, "I don't know, until it feels real" I said. dre let out another chuckle, "it's not gonna feel real until that ring is on her finger. hey, while we're in the area did you wanna look at that studio space?"

I nodded, "I mean, yeah. I really should if texas is going to be one of my main locations from here on out" I said, in disbelief.

as we stood in the studio, listing pros and cons of the space my phone started to ring. I sighed before sending the call to voicemail for the fifth time in ten minutes. "marsh, just answer it.. stop sending it to voicemail"

"i'm literally in the middle of something, my girls need to learn that I can't just drop everything to answer their call" I said, sternly. dre rolled his eyes, "just take the call marshall" he said as I stepped out to answer.

"hey dad!" alaina said, happily. I let out a small smile, "hey sweetie, what's goin' on?" I asked as she snuggled with her puppy, snoop. "nothing much, we just wanted to call and see how avery was doing"

I furrowed my eyebrows, "we?" I asked. "yeah, hailie and stevie are here too" she said, before they were all in the frame of the facetime call. "hey, dad!" they both said in the background of the call.

"we miss you, dad!" they all basically said in unison. god lord, these girls knew exactly how to tug on my heart strings. I let out another small smile, "I miss you guys, too" I said.

"where's avery? and where are you?" hailie asked, getting closer to the screen to inspect the background. I pressed my tongue to my cheek, "avery is at home, resting, I'm out with dre to see a few studio locations"

hailie pursed her lips, "something still seems off.." she deadpanned. I sighed, "I did something very out of character for me, maybe even a little rash. I was gonna call you guys later tonight to talk about it but I-I couldn't wait"

"ohmygod, avery's pregnant!" alaina shouted out. I shook my head, "I bought an engagement ring" I said before the girls went silent. it was the calm before the storm. "you bought her an engagement ring?" they shouted back at me. 

I nodded, "you know how I feel about avery, but there is alot more to why I did it. I'm just in the middle of something" I said before hailie interrupted me. "dad, tell us!!" she stated. 

I sighed, "okay, well. the first thing avery said to me when she woke up was.. she met doody" I said, bracing myself for their reaction. shock and confusion fell over their faces. "ohmygod, you're kidding" hailie said as her jaw dropped.

"she told me that everything went white, and then he was sitting there. he told her that it wasn't her time to go and that she couldn't take away my happiness" I said, doing my best to hold back tears. 

"I took it as my sign from proof. I took it as a sign to take a chance and be blissfully happy so I decided to buy the ring" I said.

I sighed, sitting in bed as I scrolled mindlessly on my phone. "hey sam, what are we gonna do for the upcoming launches?" I asked, as she looked up from her computer. she let out a soft mhm, "I think I have some pictures of you saved"

I shook my head, "why don't we post some pictures of you?" I asked, before letting out a sly smile. she let out a low chuckle, "cause last time I recall, i'm not you" she said as I rolled my eyes. 

"but you're so much prettier than me, and last time I checked you're the co founder. a whole fifty percent of this business. they should see your face too" I said as I grabbed her face and squished it. 

she let out a chuckle and shook her head, "I think you're hopped up on pain meds. but it's also the name that matches the face sweetheart. do you know who your family is?" she asked as I rolled my eyes.

"unfortunately, yes" I said unphased. "I know that you don't think twice about it but to other people, your family is the biggest name in football. and have you met your boyfriend?" she asked as I let small smile before flipping her off.

we both let out belly laughs before there was a knock at the door. samantha quickly furrowed her eyebrows, "that can't be marshall, right?" she asked. I shook my head, "he wouldn't knock, he has a key" I said as she walked out of the bedroom.

within seconds I heard familiar voices. I did my best to try and get out of bed, letting a few whimpers go as I walked into the living room to see both my brothers. "noah, will, what are you guys doing here?"

they both leaned forward, each of them taking my arms in their hands as they helped me to the couch. "woah, why the second degree? we can't come see our baby sister?" noah asked as I plopped down on the couch. 

"how you feelin' ace?" will asked, as I sighed and rolled my eyes at the stupid family nickname. I shrugged, "as good as I can feel.." I deadpan before I heard the jingle of keys, and the door opening. 

"avery, baby. i'm home" marshall said as he stopped in his tracks. he looked to my brothers and then to me, "h-hey, what's goin' on?" he said softly. 

I shrugged, "nothing much. marsh, you know my brother noah. but this is my other brother will" I said as he pressed a kiss to my forehead. "hey, marshall. it's good to see you again" noah said as he reached out to shake his hand, as will did the same.

"so, the whole eminem thing that gpaw and uncle jerry are goin' on about is true?" will asked, trying to play the protective big brother card. I rolled my eyes before punching him. "ow.. what was that for?" he asked as I let out a deep irritated sigh.

"it's marshall... and they only keep bringing it up because they're pissed that their plan fell through" I said as annoyance took over. "wait, what plan?" will asked, cautiously. I chewed at my lip before grabbing the bottle of pain medication.

I could see marshall was watching me intently, trying to not nag me. I knew he was already on edge about all the medication and making sure I was taking them properly.

"they had this whole publicity stunt planned out, for ace to date one of the newer players they just drafted" noah said, as will nodded. "so, y'all are really together?" will asked as marshall and I made eye contact.

"I mean, I would hope so. he's the man that's been fucking me for the last couple of months" I said as marshall and samantha let out a belly laugh from the kitchen. "c'mon ace, I don't wanna hear all that" will said as he buried his head in his hands.

I shrugged, "well, stupid questions deserve stupid answers" I deadpan. "hey baby, why does your family call you ace?" marshall asked, curiously.

"the family's called her that since she could walk and talk, because everything she does is perfectly planned out and executed. in their eyes she can do no wrong" noah said as I rolled my eyes.
