Back To "Normal" Life - A Drew and Rick Story (The Night Shift)

Chapter 8 - Drew's sister's Wedding

Drew's POV A month later

"How many people are going to be at the wedding?" "Last I checked with Maria and Evelyn, they said that there were around 100 people," "OK," He says, sighing. "Go back to doing computer work," "Yes, sir," "Love you too," "Love you more,"

We got to Arizona and went to my parent's house which was where a few people were staying. "Drew, Rick," "Hi Mom," I said, handing Levi to her. We got all of our stuff inside the house and in my old room. "Nothing has changed since I've been here last I see," Rick says. "Well, I haven't been home since I introduced you for the first time," "Yes we have, the same year, Christmas," "Right," "Uh huh,"

The next morning

I was standing on the back porch looking out at the view from my parent's house, and I felt arms go around my waist. "What are you doing?" "Nothing, just trying to steal your coffee," Rick says, trying to grab my cup as I extend my arm out of his reach. "Nice try, plus you hate the way I make mine so why bother trying to drink any," "You are no fun," "No, it's called how to make your husband not steal your coffee," I say trying not to laugh.

I then felt my phone ping with a text. I looked at it and it was a text from TC "Jordan had the baby," "When?" "Early this morning, and it's a boy, Braxton Topher-Hawke Callahan, born 6:30am, 7lbs 6oz, and tall like his dad." "TC isn't that tall, unlike you who's 6'4," "True, T.C's only 5'10 but still is tall, and you're only 4 inches shorter than I am at 6 ft,"

"Hey, Drew, Rick can I ask you two something?" Dan, Sav's fiancé, and soon-to-be-husband asked us walking up to us. "Sure," "Would you two like to be extra groomsmen and stand up at the front?" "Sure, we'd love to,"

A while later at the venue

"I hope TC asks Jord to marry him soon. I'm getting tired of waiting to be asked to be a Best Man or Groomsmen, though if Topher was still alive I'm sure he would be the Best Man, of course, cause he and T.C. were best friends and went through everything together, just like you and I did," "I'm surprised that one of his middle names is after Toph and not T.C. 's late brother, Thad,'' Rick said. "Oh I'm sure that T.C. fought with Jord over that, cause knowing TC he would have wanted Brax to have Thad's name," "I'm going to end up calling him Hawke instead of his actual name," "Honestly, so will I probably," "It just sounds so much cooler than calling him Brax,"

After the ceremony at the reception

"Come on," ''You know I don't dance," "Neither do I," "fine," I say, getting up with Ryler and walking to the dance floor with Rick. "See, it's not that bad," "I guess you're right," Vanni and Dan came up to us. "Can we meet our Nephew?" "Yeah, this is Ryler Maverick , but we mostly call him Ryler or Ry ," "Aw, can I hold him?" "Sure," I passed Ry to Sav.

"I want one now," Vanni says. "NO, not now, later," Dan says. "Deal," "Are you two going to have any more?" "We already have 2, ones in college," "Really?" "Yeah, We adopted Brianna when she was 14 and she's 19 now." "How long have you two been married now?" "6 years," "Jeez"
