Chapter 82

Sawyer POV - August 4th
***first of all, I know it's winter, but just roll with it

"Look, auntie Jeri!!"

Her head pops up out of the water, "What's up Sawyer?"

"Look at all of the fish! This is so cool!"

She laughs and swims towards me, "Very cool, kid. You having fun?"

I smile wide, "Totally!"

"Say cheese!" She holds up her GoPro and I smile.

"Can you send that to momma?" I ask.

She nods, "Yeah, remember, we're going to send her lots of pictures."

I nod and continue swimming around until I get tired.

"Alright, boat time." Auntie Jeri says and we climb the ladder to get on.

"Sawyer! You have fun?" Charlie calls.

I nod and smile, "Yeah! You can come when you get bigger, Charlie."

"You looked like a pro, baby." Pops says.

He hands me a towel and I wrap myself with it and sit next to him.

I yawn and lean my head on his shoulder.

"You tired, baby?" He asks.

"Mhmm swimming takes it out of me." I say.

He kisses my head, "Okay, you can nap at the hotel."

"With momma?" I ask quietly.

"I'm not sure, Sawyer. We will have to ask. Remember that you have to be flexible with momma's schedule." He says.

I squeeze my eyes shut and sigh, "Yeah, okay."

The boat reaches the dock and I stand up.

"Hey Sawyer, say thank you to the crew, yeah?" Pops says.

I nod, "THANK YOU!"

They chuckle, "Anytime, mate! Loved meeting you, Sawyer!"

I bob my head and climb onto the dock.

I feel someone sling their arm around me and smile, "Thanks for snorkeling with me, auntie Jeri."

"Anytime kiddo. So looks like a nap is in order. Your momma is going to try to meet us in the room. Then after nap, we're going with the team to the koala sanctuary." She says.

I sigh and start to feel upset about not knowing if momma can come nap then nod, "Okay."

She kisses my head, "I know you don't love not having a clear answer, but she's going to try and it's okay."

I just nod and get into the car that will take us to the hotel.

I pull out a chew tube and shove it into my mouth.

'Have to be flexible.'

Alex POV -

I stare at the photo and smile then text my sister.

Me: looks like she had fun!

I pocket my phone and head into the conference room.

"Hey Alex! How's the calf?"

I turn and see Britt, "Hey, it's good, a little tight."

She nods, "Alright, let's do this treatment then."

I nod and hop on the table then feel my phone vibrate.

Jeri: she did. She's asking about you though. Chances you can pop in for some snuggles?
