-3 months later- (After TEAM USA had won FIBA)
Stephen walked around his home with his son in his arms, Riley was currently running around looking for all her toys her little brother could play with. This had been the first time Stephen had Seth over and Riley was more than excited.
"Daddy give him this one" Riley gave her favorite stuffed animal to Stephen, he chuckled at his daughter. His 9 month old son smiled widely at his half sister, entertained by her.
"You wanna play with your sister buddy?" He sat him down and he instantly began to play with the pile of toys Riley had brought him "I'm going to make some snacks" he walked to the kitchen as he kept an eye on the kids, their giggles surrounded the very lonely home. His cooking skills were not the best so he settled with some PB&J sandwiches.
"Daddy why isn't Bri here?" Riley looked at her father, wondering where was her baby brother's mom
"She had work baby, she'll be here soon" he smiled
"Do you think she can come with me to my dancing class?" She smiled
"We can ask her when she comes okay?"
After Spain things seemed to be going downhill for the two of them. He knew that trying to make her jealous was only going to make things worse between them and they did. She rarely spoke to him, only to talk about Seth. Every time he thought about her it only made him think that maybe she's moving on. He hurt her badly, maybe she deserved to be happy for one. He only wanted the best for her, but he knew that the best for her was him.
The knock on his door interrupted his thoughts
"I'm coming- Bri?" He smiled at her "what are you doing here? You weren't coming for Seth until later tonight"
"Well some of my plans got canceled to I thought I'd come and see how you guys where doing?" She peeked to see Riley playing with Seth.
"Of course come on in" Riley instantly jumped and ran to her
"Brrriiii" she went straight to her arms "can you come with me to my dance class?" She smiled widely
"Of course princess, then we could go and have some lunch" she smiled "then maybe we could grab some lunch, unless you guys want PB&J"
"Don't hate on my sandwiches! Those are my famous Curry PB&J sandwiches, they have a very secret ingredient. So don't come to my home and insult my food" Stephen walked up and took a bite of a sandwich. "Okay the bread is bad, maybe lunch does sound better"
"C'mon honey lets get you ready for some ballet class"

The pair walked out of the house, Stephen couldn't help but notice something seemed different about Bri, she was distant.
"Is everything okay?" He looked at her, he could see that something was bothering her
"Yeah I'm fine" she shrugged of the question, looking out the window. He didn't push anything. He didn't want to push her.
The ballet class went by fast. Bri didn't talk much, she seemed to be more interested in Riley's posture then talking to Steph who tried to keep a conversation only to recieve short responses instead. After Riley's class they walked to a small café, things seemed better with Bri she was talking more and laughing. Maybe he can ask Seth about it.
[do you know what's wrong with Bri?] he sent him a quick text. Getting an immediate reply
[why?]
[she seems off, she's not talking much. She's cold] he looked across the table and looked closely at her body language
[talk to her, it's not my secret to tell]
Those worlds danced around his head. She had a secret that was eating her alive. He could see it
"So how's work going?" He fed Seth
"It's going great, it's busy. I'm actually trying to open up my own line. I've been looking into buildings and different resumes on people who are applying for the jobs. It's all pretty hectic"
"That sounds exciting"
"It is, it's the dream" she smiled looking directly into his eyes. He could stare into them all day, but the fact that she was hiding something bothered him. It gave him a feeling, he didn't know if it was good or bad
"Well if you ever need any help please let me know"
"I'm going to take your word on that. You'll hear from me soon regarding that" she laughed
Wel work wasn't the problem, so what was?
'It's not my secret to tell' kept dancing around his thoughts. What was she hiding?
