After a trade from Boston to Los Angeles, Frank Adler would seem to have it all. Money, women, An amazing Niece, yes Frank should have it all,
Except for one thing.

"I want to know."
"So do I."
"So why can't we?"
"Because It's too early for it to show up."
"That seems stupid. Why are we here? You're perfect."
"I'm a mess."
A chuckle. "But you're my mess."
"Thanks, I think."
Frank kissed the top of Abby's head. "You're beautiful Cricket."
"I don't feel like it."
"You're twelve weeks pregnant, Cricket." Frank took her hand. "You've been nauseous every day for the last two weeks. Plus, the stress from the hearing wasn't helping."
"And you're leaving," she mumbled.
"Sweetheart, you know I don't want to leave you. I have to go to work."
"Stupid playoffs."
Frank chuckled. Abby had always hated when the playoffs started because he would have to be on the road for five days at any time during the current series. They were starting in LA, the Dodgers having the best record in the West, facing off against Arizona. "Cricket, it's gonna be fine. Marco and Scott will be home to help. Please, just take it easy, ok?"
Abby sighed. She knew this but it didn't stop her anxiety. She thought back on the last couple of weeks.
Mike had been official charged with kidnapping and endangerment since there were drugs found in his house. He was fighting it, of course, but now Frank and Abby had a protection order against him. He went back to Boston in custody, his bail revoked.
Diane pled no contest to her charges of assult and battery. The deal she made was to allow her to stay in treatment in Boston as long as she had no contact with Abby or Mike. She asked for a letter to be delivered before she accepted. Abby read the letter, Diane's apologies all over it. Abby closed that chapter in her heart, grateful her friend had found peace and recovery.
Bobby Fuller was suspended pending a full investigation for his involvement with Frank's incident in Vegas as well as helping Mike with the kidnapping. He made a statement, saying he was not going to fight any charges or decisions made by the league. He had earned what would happen to him after everything had concluded and offered his apologies to the Adler family.
Now, she was dealing with the playoffs and the push for Los Angeles to make it to the World Series once again. She came out of her thoughts as her doctor entered the room. "Hello Dr. Adler."
"Hey Dr. Montgomery."
"Mr. Adler," she shook Frank's hand. "Ready to start the playoffs?
"Absolutely Doc." Frank flashed her a smile. "Game one tomorrow."
