"So you're like a real life member of the baseball WAGS." Callie asks in amazement as we sat around the fire place. The men where off drinking outside so it was just us girls inside and the younger kids.

"I guess." I laugh. "I don't think of it like that. I mean yea our life revolves around baseball most of the time but I don't see him as that famous baseball player." I admit.

"So do you love him." She smirks.

A smiles crossed my face as I pull my knees to my chest. "I do. I know people tell you all the time that like you'll just know when someone is the one, I never really believed it, that is until I meet Dansby."

"I know what you mean. I think I love Caleb." She says quite.

I give her a soft smile. "You very well may but remember your both still young. Don't change yourself for a boy, make sure you find one that wants you for you."

"Did Dansby ever try and make you change?" She questions.

I shake my head looking out the window to where he was with my uncles, papa, and Dad. "Nope, don't get me wrong I changed when I met him but it wasn't because he made me. I became I better person. You know how reserved I was about my personal life and how I didn't really open up to people. Dansby got me to se that it's ok to let your guard down."

"You sound just like me when I met your papa." Callie and I jump at Mimi's voice. "Ohhh boy was I head over heels for him."

"When did you know you wanted to marry him?" I ask as she sits down.

"Well we had only been dating around a month I had never mentioned my love for art, but one day he came to my house, asked my father if it was ok, and took me out. I had no clue where we were going until he pulled up at the art museum. When I asked why we were there he said that he was watching me paint one and just saw how my face lit up so he wanted to see that again. That was when I knew."

"That's so cute." I mumble watching her smile at the memory.

"It was. I knew I loved him from then on." She nodded.

We were cut short by everyone coming back in. "Well I think it's time us old people head to bed." Papa calls walking in. Dansby immediately makes his way over to my side.

"Night everyone." Mimi waves kissing me on the head as she walks by. "If you wake up early enough we'll go shopping." She whispers to me. I'm sure she'd invite the other grandkids they're just to young.

"Must be nice to be pampered all the time." Jeremy snorts walking by.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I ask slightly offended.

"Oh nothing just that they wait on you hand and foot around here." Jeremy responds.

"No they don't." I snap back.

"Ok what ever Tae. Have you seen Nicole?" He scoffs.

"She went to bed about 30 minutes ago, something about feeling woozy." I said watching all the parents walk out.

"You didn't think to come tell me she was feeling sick?" He asked angrily.

"No I asked her if she wanted me to come get you and she said she was fine." I respond with an annoyed tone.

"Unbelievable." He grumbles headed up the stairs.

"What's his problem." I ask everyone in general.

"He's probably just super stressed. Apparently Nicole hasn't been feeling well lately and it's really worrying him." Dansby says wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
