***Don't forget, these are flashbacks dating from the very first time they met all the way to the last time they saw each other at the World Series! I'll label them as well, so bare that in mind.

Kris' Major League Debut
April 2015

Natalia was a bundle of nerves as she drove to Wrigley Field. She had gotten the call a mere two days prior that Kris would be making his major league debut. Everyone was making the trek to see Kris play. Kylie and Adriana were already in Chicago, but Mason was flying in from Las Vegas to see the game against the Padres.

This was what he had been working for. Natalia had seen all the hard work first hand and she couldn't help but feel like a proud mom. He was finally getting a chance at his dream.

As soon as her car was parked, Natalia rushed out and to security. After being cleared to walk in, Natalia walked around trying to find her seat. Jessie had sent them all their tickets, along with the news of Kris' debut. As she passed rows and rows of seats, she finally found her place and settled down. Kylie and Adriana were the next to arrive and greeted her excitedly. While Kylie already had a bag of popcorn and a hotdog, Adriana opted for a beer.

"How can you even eat? I know I'm not the one playing, but I'm so nervous," Natalia exclaimed.

"That's what this is for," Adriana joked as she gestured to the beer in her hand, "It calms my nerves."

Jessie arrived soon after with Mason following close behind. The two sat down, with Jessie sitting beside Natalia.

"Did you come from the clubhouse," Natalia asked.

"Yeah, I just wanted to wish him some last minute luck, but we'll probably get to talk to him before when he comes out for bp," Jessie explained.

Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Kris' tall frame came into view from the dugout. Only he wasn't alone.

Another tall, good looking, man was talking to him by home plate.

"Who is that fine piece of man," Kylie asked as she grabbed a handful of popcorn and stared at the man.

"Who? Anthony," Jessie asked.

"Number- ugh I can't see," Kylie groaned, "I think that says 44."

"I think you need glasses," Adriana joked only to get shoved by Kylie.

"That's Anthony, Anthony Rizzo. He plays first base," Jessie explained as she looked at the two men conversing.

"Looks like he noticed you, Nat. He keeps looking at you," Adriana remarked.

"Damn. I was hoping to get with him, but I guess he picked you. He's all yours," Kylie sighed as she looked at Natalia.

"How do you know he's even looking at me? He could be looking at you, Ky," Natalia defended.

"Nope. He's definitely looking at you," Kylie said.

"He's pointing," Adriana said.

"And now coming over," Mason laughed.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. Is this real life," Kylie asked as she pinched herself.
