Game For Two

Our Happy ending...or is it

(Final Chapter)

9 Months pregnant

"Joeyyyyyyyy"

"What Bells?"

"I can't get off the couch again."

I'm 9 months pregnant and feel like a complete beached whale. I can't see my feet, yesterday I put on to different shoes and the jerk that Joey is thought it would be funny and let me leave like that. He didn't find it funny when he came home from the shop, and I dumped ice water on him in the shower. To say I'm over being pregnant is a complete understatement. Joey keeps saying I have two more weeks to go, like to see him do this. He is always working, and the kids must take after him, insanity must run on the McIntyre side. Between cheer for the girls, Nikki not even a year yet and trying to deal with the crazy person that is my husband I don't have a free minute.

I will say this it is so weird to call Joey my husband, I honestly thought it would never happen. After we got married in Vegas, he surprised me with a weekend in Miami for our honeymoon. Needless to say, if I wasn't pregnant before I defiantly would have been that weekend. We finally went and got Joey and the boys' stuff from the NYC house. After so many conversations we decided not to sell it and keep it since Joey has been going back and forth to work on certain clients. Is it ideal no, but the income from it we can't say no to especially with a baby weeks away from making her grand arrival. Joey was right again, its a girl and I don't know weather laugh or cry that he was right again. Luckily Liz hasn't been an issue anymore, so life just fell into a perfect thing. 

It was 5 in the morning on Sunday morning, and I was already in the car with the girls making the three hour drive to their cheer competition, Joey had to work at Pop's shop and he took Brayden. He is starting to teach Bray how to work on cars and Bray loves it. Since I have cheer with the girls, its something they can do together and they both love it. We finally pulled up to the Civic Arena in Pittsburg. The girls darted in and quickly found their teams. I know I'm in for such a long day and this baby is killing me, I cant even breath. I quickly found a seat. As much pain I'm in this means so much to the girls and they have worked so hard that I do this ten times over. I remember how completive cheer made me feel. It was my entire life. I thought many times about it over the years. I had to quit once I got pregnant with Gianna but after we lost her I never went back since I spiraled out of control.

Here I sit at the shop showing Brayden how to change brakes and he looks up at me just like I did to my dad and its just a moment I treasure every time it happens. The girls have cheer to bond over with Bella but this this is me and Brayden's thing. I just wish the twins were old enough to come and share this moment. But they wont be for a couple years so they are spending the day with my mom. 

"Dad, which way do I turn this to get it off?"

"To the left buddy boy."

I just sat back and watch him for a minute you can definitely see Bella in him, he has her smile and eye shape. He also has my personality and work ethic. I know he isn't my blood but he is mine. Bella said last night they grew up together truth of the matter we all did. He is the reason for everything I have done. Before him lets be real I was a frat boy. Yes I was with Bella exclusively but when I was in school it was beer and parties. When I go home I would literally going at Bella any second I could. I was living it up. He made be buckle down and made me the man I am now. My heart swelled watching him work on the bolt on the car getting it off, he real is and always been a chip off the block. A text pulled me from my thought,
