Carolina Can (Chase Rice FanFic)

Chapter8

I walked in and the living room was absolutely gorgeous, the wall of pictures was even better than I dreamed of. First room upstairs was Clayton's, we walked in and I was amazed how it looked, it had Gamecocks stuff and music stuff and actually had one of Tyler's guitar's on the wall. A tear fell down my face. I saw Tyler and I hugged him and said thank you. Then we went to Payton's room, it looked like a princess castle! Next was Catherine's room and it looks like a barn with cowgirl stuff everywhere. Next was mine and Chase's room, I walked in and I fell to my knees, it was such a beautiful room! I told them thank you and that they were talented at what they do. They said don't know if we could have pulled it off if it wasn't for Tyler and Hayley! I said y'all both know what you mean to me but for you to do this ... Tyler said hush, you are like a sister and them kids are like my nieces and nephews and I'd do anything in this world to make y'all happy! I cried, Tyler said why don't we all go out to dinner now.

The kids rode with Tyler and Hayley, Clayton took him a bag because he was gonna spent the night with Tyler and they were gonna ride dirt bikes tomorrow. Tyler took us to a pizza place that had rides and games for the kids. He said I'm so excited for you and Chase, you've been through so much Lauren and you deserve to be happy. I said I'm nervous, he said don't be Chase is an amazing guy and he knows if he hurt you or the kids he will answer to me! I said Ty now be nice! He said I wouldn't never hurt Chase or anybody but if he hurts y'all then I may have to! I said lets go play with the kids. We went and they had a ball! I looked and it was already 10, I said Chase lets get these girls home into bed. I said y'all call me tomorrow when you want me to come and get Clayton. By the time we got home the girls were asleep. Me and Chase put them to bed.

I went and changed into a pair of shorts and one of Chase's old t-shirt's. I went to kitchen and Chase was sitting there in a daze. I said baby what's wrong? He said for some reason I'm missing my dad more and more today. I said he's so proud of the man you've become. He said I wished he could see me though. I said he's watching down on you everyday. He said I know that but it's not the same as having him right her to talk to. I said well you have me. He said I'm so glad I found you because no matter how I feel you can always put a smile on my face. I said I was thinking, what do you think of us having a cookout tomorrow before we leave on tour next week? He said that's great who do you wanna invite? I said Tyler, BK, Thomas Rhett, Rhett, Luke, John and your family and anyone else you want to! He said that sounds great and I'll invite some of road guys like a cookout before the tour! I said okay you email or text everyone and I'll make a list of what I'm gonna fix! I looked in freezer and laid out steaks, hamburger meat and chicken. On my list I put hotdog wieners, stuff for pasta salad, coleslaw, stuff for chili, ranch dressing, fries, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, steak sauce, etc... Around midnight we finally headed to bed.
