Life with Seguin

4. Thanksgiving Surprise

You decided to go with Tyler to Dallas for a little while before Christmas. (Y/D/N) came along with and absolutely loves it. She gets a yard to run around with her "brothers" as Ty calls them. It is really nice to not have to always take her out for a walk. But even though you get to just let her out you still like to take her out for walks, so you and Tyler start getting the dogs together to walk the neighborhood. The camera crew is with you all but they are really just hanging back to watch you both. Tyler instructs them to try not to film any street names or cross streets so they don't advertise where he lives like a billboard.

"Alright kids, let's go!" Ty yells out for the dogs and they all sat at the door ready to go on our evening walk.

It was a gorgeous fall evening in Dallas, everyone was beginning to decorate their homes for the holiday.

"I just love it here." you said while looking around. You were walking (Y/D/N) and Cash, while Tyler had Marshall and Gerry. "It's perfect. I love the holiday times"

Tyler smiled looking over at you, "You know, you could just move here"

"Ty, you know I can't right now." you said with slight concern thinking about your life in Los Angeles. You smirked while watching the four dogs walking with eachother. The older dogs showing the younger dogs how to behave.

Tyler was looking at a home's Christmas lights and said, "Actually (Y/N) you could. You are freelance and in-between jobs. This is the perfect time for you to move."

You tried to stay neutral on your face so he didn't see how happy you were that he was trying to convince you to move to Dallas. "Sweetheart, I shouldnt. There are many factors to consider before moving; like where I would live, do I have a job lined up for when I arrive, I need to get (Y/R/N) enough notice before I move so I don't leave her with no time for a new roommate, and many others."

Tyler just started laughing, "Babe, don't be ridiculous. You would I hope move in with me, you are too incredible to not have a job quickly here, she's probably moving in with he boyfriend soon anyway so that's good for you both, and you have no other excuses" he ended with a smile knowing he has wont that discussion.

"Ty, let's wait until after the holidays to discuss this." you say and continue your walk.

"We'll talk at Christmas. But it would work where you move here during the Allstar break." He smiled, "A year after we met" he winked.

All you could think to do at this point to get on your tip-toes and kiss him on the cheek. He smiled as you did this.

You spent the walk either in really deep conversation, laughing endlessly, or comfortable silence. You almost didn't realize you all had been out walking for an hour now. "Babe we should get back." he said while looking at his phone.

When you get to the house Tyler, Gerry and Marshall sprint into the house ahead of you, (Y/D/N), and Cash. (Y/D/N) stays calm and doesn't run after them only because Cash is right next to her not caring that they ran. Poor guy is so exhausted. You finally get to the front door and you see Tyler slowly coming around the corner from his kitchen with a child like smile on his face.

"What is wrong with you?" you laugh at him. He side eye smiles into the kitchen as his sisters run around the corner towards me. "Candace?! Cassidy?! What??" you run towards them and you all jump into the biggest group hug and suddenly Jackie joins in. "What are you all doing here??" you say smiling.

Jackie laughs, "Ty wanted us to celebrate an early American Thanksgiving with you both. So we have been cooking somewhere else all day and just brought everything here."

You laugh as you walk toward the kitchen and nuzzle into Tyler's side. But out of the corner of your eye you see more movement in the kitchen. "MOM?? (Y/S/N)???" you say in shock and then turn your head into Tyler's shoulder to try and hold in happy tears.

"Well Tyler wanted to make it perfect" Cassidy said. On cue the rest of the families show up. Your dad, brother, and his dad walk in from out back. "You damnit, we missed the surprise!" your brother shouts.

You give all your family members a huge hug and come back to Tyler kissing him. "I know you were getting really upset that you hadn't seen them in a year and I just didn't want to wait until Christmas. Plus now everyone has finally met each other in-person." Tyler smiles.

Your mom comes over and hugs Tyler, "This was all him, sweetie. He sure is a keeper."

You smile looking around at everyone getting along as you go to help finish in the kitchen. Your brother and Tyler are hanging out, talking about hockey. Your sister is talking with his sisters and your mom is with his mom. Tyler had turned on the lights in the backyard earlier and your dads started playing on the putting green he has. Everyone was fitting together perfectly and it was the best feeling in the world.

"You look really happy." Your mom smiled and Jackie agreed, "I've never seen Ty this happy. I'm so glad you two met." You smiled looking over at Tyler. "Yeah I'm pretty happy about this situation" you chuckled.

Your mom laughed, "Who would have thought working a quick freelance job in LA you would leave there with your perfect match." You smiled, "Well to be fair I left with a friendship. This happened months after that."

"No no" Jackie started, "Tyler knew right away where he saw you in his life. He was in love the moment you two met."

"Really?" you smiled, a little in shock. The idea of him falling for you instantly is something every girl always imagines growing up.

"Oh he absolutely did. I will never forget. He called me right after he left the room where you two met." she smiled

*************************************

"Mom, I want you to know. I just met the girl I want to marry. Just wanted you to know. Okay that's all" Jackie started laughing at her son.

"Tyler, is Cabbie with you?" Jackie continued laughing.

Tyler sighed, he would never live that down. "No Cabbie isn't here. I'm serious. I just met her in the gift bagging area. I don't know what it is but I know she's the girl."

She laughed once and then got more serious with him once she realized how serious he was. "Well sweetheart, I hope I can meet her whenever you two get together."

*************************************

"I love that." Your mom said as Jackie finished telling you both of that little phone call Ty had with his mom.

You looked over at smiled at Tyler as he looked over to you. He mouthed "I love you" and went back to talking with your brother. "Thank you for that, Jackie. He never told me about that part of the day."

"Of course sweetie" she said as she hugged you, giving you a quick kiss to your forehead.

This was honestly the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for you. What you did in life to deserve someone as thoughtful and amazing as Tyler you will never know, but you are very thankful for whatever is was.
