"I can't believe we're at the ESPYS right now!" Abigail squealed, holding onto Devin's arm as they walked to their seats together. "I can't believe it either, baby girl; never thought I would be nominated for an ESPY," Devin smiled as he and his girlfriend of two years got to their seats, sitting down comfortably and awaiting for the show to begin.

Currently 7:35 p.m., the ESPYS wouldn't begin for another twenty five minutes, and although most celebrities were, as they said, fashionably late, Devin and Abigail both agreed to get to the awards ceremony early enough to look around the venue, as well as to avoid traffic.

"Do you think you're gonna win, baby?" Abigail smiled as she kept her arms interlocked with her boyfriend's left arm, watching as his eyes met with hers. "I don't know," Devin shrugged, "I'm honestly just really honored to have even been nominated. I never thought people would look at me, you know? People are mainly focused on LeBron, Stephen, or all of the other talented players who are in the media for their amazing careers."

"You've worked just as hard as anyone, Devin. You deserved this nomination, and you deserve to win as well; I'm still extremely proud of what you've accomplished so far, ESPY award or not," Abigail spoke, placing a soft kiss upon Devin's cheek, causing him to smile.

"I appreciate that, baby. Even if I don't win this materialistic symbol of accomplishment, I already have the best trophy I could ever ask for."

Directing his eyes down to Abigail's stomach, he smiled at her round belly as Abigail rubbed it slowly. Abigail was pregnant with Devin's first child, and the doctor had informed the giddy couple that they would be expecting any day now.

Smiling widely, Abigail turned her attention back to Devin, "It's what I'm here for. You're my rock, just like I'm yours, and our baby girl is both of our rocks. As long as we all have each other, we'll be just fine with any outcome the world gives us."

It had been an hour full of surprises at the ESPYS, and to say that the nerves weren't coming onto Devin, as well as Abigail, was an understatement. The winner for Best Motion Picture had just been announced, and now the moment every athlete in the building had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"We will now be announcing the nominees for Best Male Athlete!" the beautiful Gabrielle Douglas spoke into the mini microphone onstage.

Abigail took ahold of Devin's hand, feeling the sweat from his palm transfer onto hers. Devin's face grew more anxious by the second and the grip he had on Abigail's hand only confirmed his growing emotion. Although he would truly be okay if he didn't receive the award, he couldn't help but think of how it would feel to win. It would be his first ESPY, and it believed that he would grow more confidence in himself if he did get called to accept the award.

"Your nominees are," Gabrielle started as she watched the audience look up at the screen above her, showing the live screening of the different NBA players who were nominated as they sat in their reserved seats, "LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant."

Hearing the audience clap after each name was called, Devin couldn't help but smile. It all came down to this.

"And the winner is.. Devin Booker!"
