November 9th

Erika's POV

"Let's go to Las Vegas and have Elvis marry us."Sammy suggested as he closed his laptop.

"Sammy, I need you to understand that we're not eloping," I stated firmly, setting down two plates of mouth-watering rice, salmon, and asparagus on the table. "I know you're worried, but we've thought this through and made the right decision."

"It's taking a long time to plan for the wedding in April." he said as he took a bite of his salmon.

We can change the month if you'd like." I said as I sat down on the chair and began to eat.

He declines, "As much as I complain about the wedding being far away, I'd rather keep it in April because it's a great month for a wedding."

"Yeah it is." I replied.

"Where do you want to go for a honeymoon?"

"Somewhere like Greece, Hawaii, Fiji or Morocco but there are others."

"I would love to go to Greece for our honeymoon."

"Are we deciding on Greece as our destination?"

"Yeah but in April you will be like six months pregnant so I don't think you should be on a plane."

I sighed. "When July comes it will be nine months so I guess in August or September we can have the honeymoon."

"Yeah we will have it at either one of those months."

" I can't wait for the wedding to turn out great."

"Me too Erika, especially the fact that I just can't wait to call you my wife."

Sammy's POV

"There are rumors that you might get traded and probably get a better deal from that traded for you." Griffin said.

"So the team is still trying to win the championship tomorrow and now I am gonna pretend like nothing is happening." I said.

"Didn't you say you wanted to get out of California and get a fresh new start?"  Griffin asked.

"Yeah I did say that." I told him.

"So this is your chance to do it but it is your choice to accept the  two years  sixteen million dollars to stay with the San Francisco Giants or get a better contract with another team." He stated.

"Griffin I am not taking that horrible ass deal but I am not requesting a trade so I don't care if they trade me."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded. "I am."

"Okay I will tell them that you are not accepting the deal but anyway I hope you cheer on your teammates tomorrow."

I scoffed. "Man I wish I was out there scoring a home run right now."

"Yeah too bad you injured yourself and won't play until 2016"

I rolled my eyes at my agent. "I am being serious right now."

"Yeah me too Sammy." Griffin said while not looking up from his phone.

"How many clients do you have?" I asked.

"Like thirty, some are big names and there are that not big names but they will become one." He tells me.

"That's cool but I gotta go so let me know you got anything for me or and negotiation issues with my contract."

"You know I will Sammy and besides you are my second favorite client."

I shrugged. " I can accept that."

"Okay do you feel any pain like you used to before?" Ayanna asked as she massaged my ankle.

"No I don't." I said.

"You can be very honest with me Sammy." Ayanna says.

"I really don't feel any pain anymore." I stated.

Maybe a little but not a lot honestly.

"Okay but if you do then I advise you to take the medication that the doctor prescribed you." She told me.

"Yeah I know."

"I think you are ready to do more leg exercises but we need to be more cautious with it because we can't risk it."

"I get it."

"By the time you know it you will walk normal with no pain in your ankle."

I chuckled. "Man I hope so."

"Are you on healthy diet or was that before you broke your ankle in August?"

"I always have been on a healthy diet."

Well sometimes I break it but I will still do the diet without anyone knowing about that.

"That's good because it will help with the process of your ankle recovery."
