The Other Side *A Blake Griffin FanFic*

Christmas Day

Brielle sighed sitting down in her spot between Jada and Amber. She smiled at waived at Blake's parents who were sitting a little further down the row. Her father had been invited to come too, but he had other plans and promised he would be at Blake's house for dinner after the game. 

"Merry Christmas," Jada smiled at her. 

"You too. How was Christmas morning at the Paul house?" Brielle asked just as the guys were running onto the court to start warming up. 

"It was rushed," Jada sighed. "I'm just glad we got to do it at home this year and not in some hotel room. Just wait until she gets here and is old enough to know what's going on," Jada said gesturing at Brielle's bump. 

"I know. Definitely not a perk of the life," Brielle said running a hand over her belly. 

"Did you and Blake do your Christmas yet?" Jada asked. 

"No. We're having everyone over for dinner after the game and then when they all leave we will," Brielle explained. 

"Hopefully this ends well. I am not in the mood for a grumpy CP," Jada sighed hearing the loud boos as the Warriors ran onto the court. 

"I know what you mean," Brielle nodded. 

By the end of the first half the Clippers were only down by three. It was a decent improvement from when the two teams had met earlier in the season. Blake was having a big rebound and assist game while Jamal was carrying the scoring game. 

"Have you done anymore wedding planning?" Amber asked quietly.

"No. I only have a week too," Brielle sighed. "I know we're doing it at the house. Blake is supposed to be taking care of the officiator,"

"If you need help let me know. The guys are here until the 13th so I will be taking advantage of being able to leave the kids with CP," Jada smiled. 

"I'll keep you in mind," Brielle laughed as the guys made their way back out onto the court to get ready for the second half. 

By the time the game had ended the Clippers had won 100-86. The Staples Center was going crazy and so were Brielle's hormones. 

"Awww mama," Amber laughed pulling her into a tight hug. 

As soon as the game had ended Brielle burst into tears. She was so happy for the guys. Winning on Christmas was kind of a big deal.

"I can't stop," Brielle sniffled. 

"Come on, let's go wait for them," Jada said turning and making her way down the row. 

The girls were waiting in the hall for the guys to get done showering. Of course they would be going for their postgame interviews before they could leave, but Brielle couldn't wait to see Blake in his Christmas sweater.
