My Person

"It's almost time for me to go Emma. How do I look?" Sam asks me as he walked up to me wearing a maroon suit. I bit my lip, and whispered in Sam's ear as I stood on my toes "If we didn't have places to be then I'd ride you right on this counter." I pull away from him, and watch the smirk form as he asks "Well why don't you?" "Because." I started to say "One the kids are right there, and two we don't have time. Now you have to head out, or Zac will bench you. Score a touchdown for us." The last week Sam, and I have told most of our family, and friends that we are officially together which is a nice change from trying to hide my relationships in the past. When we told Scarlett she was so happy, and excited for me. In her exact words "I'm happy for you Em. You deserve to be happy Emma, and with someone that's going to be loyal to you." Anyways Sam was getting ready to leave for today's very important game. If they won then they'd make the Super Bowl, and Sam would be able to spend the day with the kids, and I on the girl's birthday rather than spending it at locker clean out day, and final team meetings. Sam smirks before saying "Don't worry baby girl. I've got you." He kisses my lips lightly before saying "Bye Babes. I love you."

"Hey Emma. How are the birthday girls?" Brooke asks me smiling as I walked into the Wives suite with Patrick, and Sophia James walking beside me, and Cooper, and Holly in the stroller. I smile, and say "They are great. We're just hoping Sam makes it so that we can watch him play one more time this season, and so that he can help us celebrate tomorrow." Brooke smiles as she says "Well the Bengals ladies are glad you're here. We never thought that Sam would ask you." "What do you mean?" I ask as Sophia James pulled out some of her toys, and Patrick did "Uppies." I picked up Patrick as Brooke smiles, and says "You don't know how hard Sam fell for you, do you?" I blush, and say "I mean I thought I did." "Well when Joe told the locker room that he had a friend moving here he told them parts of what happened with you, and Sam didn't think anything of it. Once you moved here, and he met you. When you left the practice field It's like he didn't  even remember that he was at practice, and then he met your babies. In that moment he knew that he loved you."

"That's your Man Emma." Brooke says laughing as Sam celebrates the touchdown he just got. I smiled as he did his signature flex before walking back to the bench. I bit my lip as he I saw him say something before he's handed an oxygen mask. "Woah, why are they giving him oxygen?" I questioned in a panic. Brooke grabs my hand, and says "Just take a deep a breath Emma. He's probably just having a hard time catching his breath. Lineman like him aren't used to running ninety eight yards." I nodded, and took a deep breath as I noticed Sam looking around the stadium, and through the Oxygen mask I see him smile when we lock eyes. I did a heart with my hands, and mouthed "I Love You." He smiles again as he flexed his right arm, and points to me. I blush as Brooke is says "See, he's perfectly fine."

"Sam, Sam." I yelled as security let the wives on the field after the Bengals won. I managed to get all the kids to stick with me long enough until I heard my name being yelled by a familiar voice. "Sam." I yelled as Sam ran over to me. Sam immediately grabs my waist, and kisses me passionately as I held onto him tightly. When we pulled away I teared up as I said "Your going to the Super Bowl." Before Sam can respond I felt a tugging on my pant leg. The two of us let go of each other, and saw Sophia James looking up at us with her big green eyes which she definitely inherited from Justin. "Can we go play in the glitter now Mumma?" She asks in her high pitch voice. I look up at Sam, and watch him as he kneels in front of her, and Patrick before saying "Let's go play in the glitter." He picked the two up before walking away a little bit so that they could have some space to play in the confetti.

"Hey Emma." I heard a voice say as I watched Sophia James do angels in the confetti while Sam held Patrick in his lap. I look behind me, and see Ja'Marr walking my way. "Hey J." I said smiling. Ja'Marr smiles, and says "He's really enjoying this huh?" "He is, and that makes me so happy. My kids the older ones especially deserve to have some sort of father figure in their life, and I'm glad he enjoys having us around. He truly is my best friend, don't tell Scarlett." I said smiling. Ja'Marr laughs, and says "Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me, but yes he does. It's almost like he's Sophia's father. Every morning he'll come into the locker room, and brag about something she did, or he'll show off something that she had drawn. I'm glad you have him Emma."
