Just Wright With Us

NEW BEGINNINGS

"Babe, babe, babe, Scott," I called out, and he finally replied, 'Yes baby, sorry I was in my world."  Hey, it's okay. I was trying to let you know that I am about to leave and ask if you have seen my car keys." Yeah, I put them on the kitchen counter. What is on your schedule for today?" he asked. I started to think about what I had going on that day. " First, I have to prep for tomorrow's game and have two players to work with today. I am meeting up with Morgan. I should be back around 5 p.m. Also, don't you have practice later?I asked him  "Yeah, I do, but I was hoping to miss it to be with my wife."Aww baby," I give him a quick kiss." How about we meet on the court after I see Morgan and you're done with basketball practice?" "Okay, bet," he says, a little disappointed. We do our handshake, and then we kiss and say our goodbyes.

Two hours passed

Scott enters the locker room," Wassup yall," greeting the boys. "Hey," they said back. One of the boys says, "Aye, Scott, me, and some boys are going out tonight. You want to come ?" Naww, man, Leslie and I want to spend so much time together; ever since she got the job, we haven't seen each other as we like, so I'm just trying to chill with my baby." " You okay, Scott," I replied. "Yeah, I just miss my wife." " The baby is about to cry," they teased him. They continued to get ready to get on the court to practice. Scott showed out to the boys for teasing him. They were tired, and he was laughing right back at them.

At the door entrance of the basketball court was Leslie; it's only been two years into their marriage, and Leslie felt she was pulling away, and she knew Scott could feel it. Her job takes up most of her time, and she hasn't been feeling her best lately. She misses her husband. She walks into the practice. She sees her husband doing his thing. She cheers too loud. He caught her. He runs up to her. She says to her husband, "Hey, my baby." "Hi, my love." They greet each other with a hug and kisses. "What are you doing here? " he asked. She replies "I just got done with two of the players, and I was about to leave. I saw a bunch of hot sweat guys." he cuts in and says that's not cool" laughing at his reaction "Im just playing. I saw  you playing ball; it reminded me of what brought us together." I stared at the court.she started to reminisce"Anyways, I got to go. I'll see you here later, right?" "Yes, babe, you will, and I - "Scott, come on, men," one of my teammates, "I got go, baby, I'm sorry" he said with a quick kiss on the cheek, then ran back on the court.

Leslie meets up with Morgan.

"Hey," Leslie says, greeting Morgan with a big smile. " Hey, girl," she says as she hugs Leslie, "So what are we doing here at Walgreens? I thought we were going to lunch." Leslie sighs in response and continues to say, "We are, but we need to pick a few things." Morgan looked at her, confused. They walked down the aisle. They stop. Morgan looks down and says, "Really, are you for real." excitedly. " I think so, and I haven't felt good lately." "For how long." "Just a couple of weeks, I don't know."Morgan starts to get more excited. "Hey, hey, hey, calm down," Leslie said, looking around. Then, they began to grab a bunch of pregnancy tests. Then they checked out. She paid with cash so that Scott wouldn't be suspicious. They got in the car, picked up some lunch, and headed to the house. As they ate, they talked about how nervous they were about what the test would say. And how Scott would react and how she would surprise him if she were pregnant. They laughed and enjoyed their lunch.

The time has come to see if there is a baby or no baby. Morgan is outside the restroom with a cup of wine. "You okay in there, Leslie?" Morgan called out. "Yeah, coming out now," Leslie says in response. Leslie left the test in the restroom as Mogan was still drinking her wine. " Now we just wait. I'm so nervous. I want that wine so bad," rolling her eyes in frustration. " So, how have you and Scoot been? I haven't seen you all together recently. "Well, even though we technically work together, we still don't spend time together anymore. " Leslie stated, answering her question. They continued to talk some more until the test was ready. They walked into the restroom. They decided to record their reaction. They started to introduce themselves and revealed the test to the camera and then themselves both in a state of shock, repeating "OMG" over and over. They hugged and even cried a little, " YOUR PREGNANT," She said, holding on to Leslie's waist. She bent down to talk to Leslie's belly.

They talked a little more; then Morgan left, and Leslie went to get a gift for Scott, not knowing Scott also had a little surprise. As she was driving, she was nervous, feeling all the emotions. She grabs the gift and heads into the gym court to the surprise of a dinner for two with low lights and lit candles. Looking around in awe, she looks for her husband, and he's dressed in this blue suit. In awe, with a smile, " You look so handsome. Then, this lady came up and tried to take me with her; I looked at Scott, he nodded, and I left with her. She had this beautiful blue dress matching Scott's suit, and she put me in these black heels with a little bit of jewelry; I already had light makeup on, so there was no need for that.

I walked out to meet him. As I walked towards him, this nauseous feeling came over me, making me run to the nearest trashcan I could find with Scoot on my trail. "Hey baby, you okay?" Yes, I am fine, baby. Can you pass me some water?" "Yeah," he starts scrambling to find water for me. He hands me the water. After all of that, we went back to our dinner. We began talking about our marriage and things we could do better. We started to talk and joke, and it felt like old times. "Aye baby, what is that?" he stated, looking at the gift. " Oh, I forgot, this is for you," I said, hanging the bag to him. He started by reading the card I got him." No more 2-pointers, Daddy, only 3's for now on." he laughed and then looked up at me with a shocked face.
