*****JASON POV*****

We all got on the plane the next afternoon to head home and even though I loved getting to experience this with Chris it was going to be great to get home to my normal life and to Winnie, I missed my kid. Also if I had to be honest any chance to get Tara away from Chris was all I was ever concerned about. I knew Tara loved me and I knew she was my wife but sometimes she was too dependent on Chris. I saw Chris on his phone and he was just having a serious time texting someone. I peaked over his shoulder and smiled seeing it was Brooke. She was in his phone as Baby (Bidwell). I had no clue what the whole baby thing was about but it was obviously something between them.

"Hey, so I was thinking...." I said to Tara who was reading a book beside me.

"What's that?" Tara asked me and smiled.

"My sister..."

"What about your sister?" Tara asked.

"What if we set her up on someone? I mean she doesn't need to be alone. Since she is staying in Boston now I'm sure we could find her someone." I said and Tara nodded.

"I'm sure we could. I'll have to think about who it could be." Tara said and I huffed a laugh.

"Tara, you can't be that blind." I said and she looked at me.

"What?" Tara asked.

"There is an eligible bachelor on this plane right now that has a great relationship with Brooke now as it is. Why not just set up Brooke with Chris?" I asked. Tara damn near jumped out of her chair.

"Chris? You want to set her up with Chris?" Tara asked in shock. "They aren't a suitable match." Tara said.

"And why not? They get along, they like each other's company. I think there could be something there. Last night at the premiere when they talked to each other he lit up. I think we should just bring it up to him or her." I explained and Tara just groaned.

"No, I don't want to lose a friend if it goes south with them. I don't like it Jason, don't do it." Tara said and I sighed. "Jason!" Tara said annoyed. I just sighed and went back to doing what I was doing before I noticed who Chris was texting and knew whether I set them up or they realized it on their own, Chris and Brooke were going to happen.

*****NORMAL POV*****

Tara's mom came and picked up Winnie this morning claiming this was planned but I couldn't help but feel like Tara thought I was irresponsible with Winnie and asked her mother to come get her. I was sitting on my couch scrolling through Instagram looking at all the footage from the premiere when my phone vibrated with a text.

CHRIS: So on our way home. Not sure if anyone told you.

BROOKE: I was informed. I also had Winnie and my time cut short but ya know...

CHRIS: Baby, let me talk to them.

BROOKE: Chris, no. It will cause more problems.

CHRIS: So you have been alone all day?

BROOKE: Nope, the neighbor came over and introduced himself. Very handsome, built like a god...😉

CHRIS: You wound me Baby.

BROOKE: Jealous of the neighbor?

CHRIS: Would it be wrong of me to say I was?

BROOKE: No, but I must tell you I misspoke....I said he was built like a god...

CHRIS: Yeah....
