Deep Connection

Chapter 4

Five months passed and I gave to say they went great. Work is going great. Surgeries have not been that bad, mostly successful. Liam is definitely enjoying LA. He is making so many friends and I met the parents. And I have to say they are really nice and welcoming. They also always offer to pick Liam up, if I have to work late. Stacy and I hang out all the time. I mean when do we not hang out, she mostly comes to my house. She comes by so much Liam started calling her Auntie Stacy.

Blake and I are going out a lot. From going to dinner to going to each other's houses to walking on the beach. I've also been to more of his basketball games. So many, that the rest of the team are used to seeing me. I also made friends with the wives. The sexual tension, between Blake and I has become ridiculous though. We can't keep our hands off each other. We can't sit next to each other without Blake snaking his arms around me waist or his hand on my thigh. Even some of our friend's notice. If we leave to be by ourselves, somebody will say 'Don't get carried way with each other' or 'We got kids over here you guys'. We always respond with and eye roll. The worst comments are from DJ though. He'll say 'Make sure you use protection' or 'Blake make sure you use that Trojan'.

Anyway, I really like Blake. But there's one thing we've haven't done, we haven't met each other's kids. Suddenly, I get a call.

"Hello? " I say.

"Hey beautiful. " Blake says.

"Hey Blake. " I reply.

"So, I was wondering. Saturday at my house we are having a get together with some of the teammates and their wives and kids. I was wondering if you wanted to come and you can bring Liam and you can finally meet Ford . " He asks.

"Yeah that would be great. Are you sure you at ready for me to meet Ford? I know you are overprotective of him. " I ask hesitantly.

"I am absolutely sure about this. Don't worry, he'll love you. It's pretty hard for him to hate anybody. " He assured me.

"Ok I'll come and I will bring Liam. Do you need me to bring anything? " I ask.

"Nothing I can think of. Actually, I don't want to cause any trouble, but can you possibly bring your rum cake? " He replied.

"I possibly could. What do I get in return? " I ask in a joking manner.

"Well if you bring the cake, we can do anything you want on Sunday" He said.

"I guess I can make some cake. " I replied.

"Ok thanks. Oh and bring Stacy. DJ requested for her to come. " He said the last part with chuckle.

"I will. Those two have been hanging out recently. I think are friends are into each other. " I said with a laugh.

"Yes, I believe you are correct. " He replied with a laugh.

"Ok. I have to go workout, but I will talk to you later. " He continued.

"Ok. Enjoy your workout. Bye Blake. " I replied.

We hung up and I started thinking. Blake and I are going to meet each other's kids. What are we going to say. Oh god I got to talk to Liam and make sure he knows who he is meeting. And oh god, how is Liam going to adjust to meeting Ford. God, why does everything have to be so damn complicated.

Ok so it's Thursday afternoon. So two days before meeting Blake and Ford. Might as well talk to Liam now and not the day before.

"Liam come downstairs for a minute honey! " I yelled nervously.

I hear the door open and then slam. He did not just slam that damn door. Oh he is going to get it. I hear his little feet on the stairs. It takes him a minute to get down, he is only four. Once he gets down the stairs he stops right in front of me.
