"What do you guys do for thanksgiving?" Jack questions as he adjusts his hold on me.
"Not much really, it's kinda almost similar to us celebrating Christmas" I mention. "How about you?"
"Typical American Thanksgiving I won't lie. Mom makes the best food and it's always fun to be with family because everyone asks Quinn and I what we've been up to and how we've been doing with hockey" he smiles.
We've been doing great lately. I've been going to games when I can with or without Eden whenever she's available. Jack and I take turns staying over whenever my parents are out.
He likes visiting Lola whenever he can because she packs him whatever she or Atlas cooks and likes looking through my baby photos.
"What if I go to Michigan with you for Thanksgiving?" I ask and he immediately looks at me scared almost.
"Babe are you okay?" he speaks up.
"Yeah?"
"Would your parents even let you? Would I have to ask them myself? Rory you do know what you're asking right?" he questions.
"Yeah uhm I don't know? I mean I'd like to spend time away from my family if I'm being honest" I say as I lay on my back.
"I don't want to be in the mix of anything going on with your family baby"
"I know it would be a good experience and everything. Plus I know your brothers have been dying to meet me" I reason.
"Aurora" he replies.
"And if I call your mom right now she'd say yes sooooooo"
"I'll tell my family" he smiles in defeat pulling out his phone to text them.

"You don't want to stay here with us and celebrate Thanksgiving?" Mom questions.
"It would be nice to spend it with the Hughes family this year and I haven't been out of the tristate in a while" I reason.
"And how long are you going to stay?" she questions.
"Uhm I'd leave the 23rd and come back the 29th" I mention.
"Okay" dad answers and I smile cheekily.
"Andres ano ba" mom scolds.
(come on)
"She'll be fine. Ellen and Jimmy will take good care of her" dad reasons this time as I smile.
"I'll be texting Ellen about this" mom says as dad gestures me to get packing.
I giggle like an idiot as I FaceTime Jack.
"Sooooo?" he speaks up.
"I'm good to go" I smile and he immediately smiles.
"I'll pick you up alright?" he assures me.
"Okay babe" I say smiling.

"So what's the agenda when we get to Michigan?" I ask as I cuddle onto Jack in the airport.
It's the 24th of November and we're on our way to Michigan for Thanksgiving.
"We'll settle down for a bit and maybe mom will have something for us to do but Quinn leaves the day after Thanksgiving because he has a game the next day. Luke has a game that Monday after Thanksgiving so we'll be going to that and then we can do whatever after" he talks.
