My Person

Sammy

"As much as I love laying in bed with you, I have to get up." Sam says as he got out of bed. The last few weeks we've been talking, and getting to know each other more. He spends a lot of time at the house with Joe, the kids, and I, and they're loving it. At the moment I was laying in bed with Sophia James on a cold January Saturday as Sam got his clothes for the day picked out. "No don't go Uncle Sammy." Sophia James begged as she sat on the edge of the bed. Sam kneels in front of her, and says "At the end of the day, when practice is over I'll come back right here okay? I just have to go catch Uncle JoJo's throws for a couple of hours, and once I'm done I'll come right back to you, and Mommy."

"Hey little Man. What are you guys doing here?" Sammy asks as I walked onto the sidelines of the practice field with the kids. He picks up Patrick as I walked up to him with Sophia James standing next to me, and Cooper, and Holly in the double stroller. I smile, and say "We just thought we'd stop by, and say hi. Plus Brooke told me her, and Hayden would help out next week with the twins birthday next week." Sam smiles before saying "Well I have to go but I love you guys, and I'll see you after." "We love you to Sam." I said blushing as Sam leans down, and kisses me before running back onto the field.

"You got time for lunch me, and you?" Sam asks as he walked me to my car. I sigh, and say "I'd love to but I don't have a sitter, and Joe has a quarterbacks meeting, and I don't know if Brooke would be willing to watch them." "Well then let's ask them. What's the harm?" Sam says as he flagged Brooklyn, and Hayden down, and over to us. "Samuel, Emma." Hayden says smiling as him, and his wife stood in front of Sam, and I. I sigh before Sam asks "Well this fine young woman, and I wanted to get some lunch alone, and we were wondering if you wanted practice with kids." I look at Brooke, and just notice her slightly chuckle as Hayden said "We'd love to. Just promise that you two won't make another one while we have them. We don't need a miniature Sam yet." I roll my eyes before saying "I pushed two four pound humans out of that whole almost a year ago. If he gets me pregnant right now then I'm cutting his dick off."

As Sam, and I sat eating lunch I noticed him start to get quiet, and stare at me. "Are you okay?" I asked him nervously. He looks away before looking back at me, and saying "Just a lot on my mind. That's all." "Anything I can help with?" I asked him as I grabbed his hand. "Actually." He started saying "I know that we agreed that we were going to take things slow but Emma I don't want to do that. I want you to be my girlfriend, and I want to know that at the end of the day I'm coming home to you. Will you be my girlfriend?" I hesitate before saying "Sam I- I would love to be but before I give you an answer you need to know that my kids, and I are a package deal. To have me is to have them, and I want another baby, hell maybe every two. Are you sure you want that?" Sam grabs my other hand before saying "I would want nothing more. I love your kids to death, and I really hope they love me back. As for the baby thing I want kids, and I want you to be their Mama eventually. So yes I do want the package deal so I'll ask you again. Will you be my girlfriend?" "Yes Sam. I will be your girlfriend." I said blushing.

"Hey Emma. Hayden said he'll drop the kids off in a- Sam?" Joe asks as Sam, and I walked into the house together. "Hey Joe." Sam said as he stood next to me. "Why's he here?" Joe asks me pointing between the two of us. I take a deep breath before saying "Joe this is Sam. My boyfriend." I saw Joe's smile raise before he said "I'm really really happy for you Emma." I hugged Joe, and held him tightly as he whispered "You deserve to be happy with someone." Once I pulled away, and stood back near Sam, Joe said "As for you. You hurt her, and you won't just lose your roster spot, but  I'll dig your grave myself." "Yes sir Joey." Sam said smiling as he reached down, and grabbed my hand.

"See I told you I'd be back." Sam said smiling as he scooped a giggling Sophia James off of the couch. I sat at the other end of the couch as Sam ran around the room with Sophia James in his arms as she laughed, and laughed. "Sounds like someone missed Sammy." I said smiling as Sam sat next to me, and placed Sophia James between us. Sophie nods, and says "I miss Uncle Joe, Sammy, Momma, Daddy, and Auntie Scarlett." My heart drops as I looked up at Sam. He knew I was trying my best to hide the overwhelming sadness that came over me. "Well Mommy will talk to Daddy tonight baby girl. I can't guarantee anything though but I promise that Daddy loves you."

"And Sean if you do ever listen to this I wanted you to know that Sophia James misses you, and uhhh she's been asking for you. A text just to let her know that you still love her would be great. Alright Lo- By Sean." I said before hanging up the phone. I had tried calling Sean for what felt like the thousandth time since we had gotten divorce but once again he didn't answer. It's not that I told him not to answer, and I told Cooper to make sure that none of the guys impaired Sean from contacting me If he wanted to. Key words, If he wanted to. "You okay Em?" Sam asks me as he was walking out of Sophia James bedroom after putting her down for the night. I shake my head, and burst into tears as I wrapped my arms around his waist, and started to cry into his chest. "Why doesn't he care about her? He gave so much of himself to her."
