Smile (Kris Bryant)

Chapter Forty Five| Wedding Planning

Alexandria

"Just look at me" Kris smiles as he lays on top of me.

"No" I say behind my hands.

"Look me in the eyes and say it" he repeats. "I'll tickle you" he threaten and my eyes go wide.

"No! I'll say it, I'll say it" I insist.

"Go" he demands.

"Frozen is a better movie than the Little Mermaid" I yell and he takes my hands off my face.

"Damn right it is" he yells back and I fall into a fit of laughter. He moves a piece of hair out of my face and presses his lips to mine.

"I love you" he reminds me.

"I love you too" I reply.

After he crawls off we grab Ben and head to the basement. We do a few workouts and I make good use of the pull up bar. Music plays as we work up a sweat. Ben just contently watched us work out from his crib down there was we go at it I sit down to stretch out and just relax a little.

"Hey Al, look at this" Kris says. I turn around to see Kris sitting in a straddle with Ben in front of him between his legs. He was also in a straddle and Kris had his hands in his and was making his stretch. It was actually adorable.

"Someone's coming after my job huh" I tease and Kris laughs.

"Look out woman! I'm coming for you" Kris says moving the babies mouth so it looks like he's talking and I giggle. The voice he chose was a weird one but it made it that much better.

"You're insane" I say.

"Maybe" he smirks. He picks up the baby and takes him to get a bath. I get up but stop before going upstairs. I look at our stick figures and smile big. I had fixed it so I was no longer pregnant and I had a little stick figure baby. Our perfect little family was waiting to take on the world both in paint form and in real life.

I go upstairs and start making us some lunch. I wasn't real sure what for do with the few seconds of peace and quiet while my boys were washing up so I let it continue to be silent and enjoy it for a little while. My phone starts to go off and I answer it while the food cooked.

"What's up momma" I ask.

"I have so many ideas for the wedding. Are you ready" she asks.

"You realize I'm the one getting married right" I laugh.

"Yeah, but you hate these types of things" she reminds me.

"Fine. But all plans go through Kris" I smile as he comes downstairs. He raises a eyebrow and I put the phone on speaker. He comes over with a clean baby in his arms.

"Okay. So I have some flowers picked out that are auburn and white and orange and pink. They're super cute and I'm kind of jealous. They will be on all the chairs and at alter and other stuff. So far as a date I was thinking November 12th so it isn't too cold but still good for the fall colors" she lists off her ideas.

"Okay. If they have a opening then that would work" I admit.

"Sweet. Who all do you want in your parties" she asks.

"I have my sister as my maid of honor then Emily, and some other girls from the team" I shrug.

"I have my brother as my man of honor then Anthony and some of the guys from the team" Kris says putting Ben in his high chair. The kid looks over to me and I feel my heart warm up.

"Alright, we'll figure that out later then" she says and I roll my eyes. We talk a little more before she lets me go. The wedding was still in the beginning stages but I'm happy we're getting something started because if procrastination was a job I would be the boss.

"Your mom is really excited about this wedding" Kris notices as he sets the table.

"What makes you think that" I tease.

"Because there's a slight chance I will be marrying your mother in November" he claims.

"You have jokes today" I giggle.

"I'm feeling myself" he shrugs. Someone's been hanging out with Anthony too much.

We eat lunch and Kris gets ready for the game. I put Ben in his Cubs onesie that I'm thankful he can still fit in. I get him all ready and we head to the game.

I sit in the stands behind the dugout waiting for the game to start talking to Jakes wife Britany and Dexters wife Darya. They take turns holding the baby because that's probably the main reason they were down here as we talked. They had kids of their own but they weren't babies anymore and you can tell they wished they were.

"You ready to get back to work" Brit asks and I nod.

"Yeah. I've been training at home but I'm ready to help the guys again" I admit.

"I can tell, if I wasn't holding your baby I would have never known you had one" Darya laughs.

"Thanks. I've had a lot of free time so I've been working out" I admit.

"I wish I had your drive" Brit claims.

"It's a passion" I shrug.

The game starts and Kris steps up to the plate. He looks back into the dugout then above it. I find his eyes and he smiles big. I take Ben hand and make him wave to Kris causing him to chuckle. Days like this remind me how nice it is.
