PINK ICE PAC

Merry christmas

I had been sleeping at connors all week and had a feeling I wasnt going back to my apartment. It was christmas an I knew big connor was sleeply so I quietly started making breakfast but when someone knocked on thr door I froze and dropped the glass. Connor rushed out to check on me but I waved him to the door so I could clean up the mess. Soon 5 more people came in just as i was reaching for another glass this time though Connor caught it. I was about to sneak away when giggles came around the corner and jumped in my hands. " mom dad, fam this is the team runner casanova but we call him tikho .He said and I nodded. "Tikho this is my mom grace, dad elvis, older brother tyler, older sister hannah , and my youndest brother troye.He said.I nodded to them all but something about troye caught my ete. I turned back to connor and signed asking if I could draw him.He looked at ne and I glanced at his brother. He let iut a good laugh and grinned. Sincinh a motibe I shook my head and pulled his sleave but he ignored me." Troye, tikho here is an artist and wants to know if he can draw you, you want to see his work first." He offered and everyone nodded as we walked into the living room." He hand painted theses, and (he turned to jr) do you want to show them your book ?l he asked. Jr took off. Hannah was the girst ri speak up "book?" She inquired. " I signed and connor translates." When I girst joined the team I rescued jr from boredom and we stuck. But whenever I was away he would cry so I drew him a book of our adventures everytime we do something I add to it." I finished just as he walkedin with the large sketch book and showed it to his grandparents.

They seemed to smile at the booklet and I was happy about it. Everyone enjoyed the breakfast I had made and I watched as they sung the christmas songs and then sat down to open presents. I watched as they all opened gifts for each other and was about to skip to the room again when I was greeted by giggles carrying in a present for me.

I smiled at him and opened the gift so he would calm down and my jaw dropped it was a locket bracelet."daddy says its real gold so you have no reason to take it off." He said. I opened it and inside was the three of us on the couch the other side housed a diamond and the word forever. " thank you so much giggles it's beautiful. " I sighed and to everyones shock he replied." You welcome"

We all sat down to eat and I made sure to cut up my plate and then jrs before digging in. The conversation had a nice flow until tyler spoke up." So wheres that fiance of yours?" He asked. Making ne notice that jrs mother hadnt been around. To my shock it was giggles who answered."mommy left. Mommy said she no want giggles she want dada money so she left." We all including conner seemed shocked."when did she say that I signed." I dont rember the big guy came he had a funny accent like uncle rocco and said they would take care of tic tic and then she could come back." I was literally shaking as giggles jumped into my lap."sorry tic tic , daddy told me were going to protect you, from now on right daddy".He said looking from connor to me who nodded. I smiled at him for his kindness and he and me out the bracelet on together. I was about to start cleaning when giggles pointed at a giant gift in the corner connor reavhed for my hand," just rember a three year old picked this." He said and I ripped off the wrapping paper and frozeit was from when  I took giggles to the estate sale it was a divinchi peace hand signed and worth a ducking fortune."take it back" I signed. He simply smirked and shook his head no."please connor its to much im not worth it." At this he turned on me."giggles hand selected that for you and you say your not good enough your keeping it and your worth more than that." He said and I hugged him though with years in my eyes."thankyou, thank you " I signed once I released him.
He just smiled down at me and nodded and I turned to pick up jr kissing him allover as he giggled. Once the painting was dafely hing in the family safe i went to make everyone dessert and tea and nearly jumped a mile in the airkitchen when Iturned to see hannah."your a cute one." She said and I nervously backed up. " what do you say you meet me in my hotel room tonight." She said snd I viguroidly shook my head no." Fine but I like you, I want you and I get what I want." She said grasping the tea tray and carrying it out.

I was ready to leave as the new day took me back to work we had a game out in california. We were on a winning streak and between hw, jr and games I had no time to worry. I did my workouts in between games and jrs naps and life was travel. New years was a whirlwind as we watched the ball drip and shared a cheek kiss. The new year looked ectremly promising.
