McKayla's POV:
"I see Mr. Blaney is going all out," I commented as Ryan pulled up to a fancy restaurant. He grins and pulls into a parking spot.
"I only treat the woman I love to the most to the finest of foods." He commented. "Stay put." He winks. I laughed as he almost tripped jumping out of the car. "My lady," Ryan says opening up the car door. I gladly take his hand as he helped me out. "Reservation for Ryan Blaney."
"Follow me to your table." The waiter says. "Your waitress will be with you shortly." The man said before walking away. Ryan pulls out a set for me. He sits across from me smiling.
"What?" I chuckled.
"You said yesterday you had a surprise for me," Ryan says on the edge of his seat.
"Anxious much?" I asked picking up the menu.
"Yeah pretty much."
"I'll tell you after we eat because I'm starving."
||After Dinner||
After Ryan had paid for the dinner, I could practically feel his eyes burning through me. He was really anxious for this surprise I had for him. I looked up as Ryan began tapping his fingers on the table. I grinned and handed him a box from my purse.
"Ooo a box. Fancy." He says sarcastically.
"If you're gonna be like that I'll just take it away." I laughed. "Open it."
"Nothing is gonna jump out at me, right?"
"Seriously Ry?" I glared at him. I quickly grabbed my phone to record the moment. He unties the bow and slowly removes the lid.
"What's this?" Ryan asks pulling out the item.
"You should know what that is by now sweetheart." I laughed.
"Wait, are you serious? You're not pranking me right?" He questioned. I shake my head. His mouth drops. "You're pregnant?" He laughs away some tears. I nod and smiled. "Oh my god M!" He laughs.
"Blaney number five is coming," I say before putting my phone away. Ryan reaches over and squeezes my hand.
"How is this possible? I thought-" his voices trails off.
"I have no clue. It's a little miracle, our little miracle. I have an appointment on Monday when we get back from the track. I wanna make sure everything is okay with the baby first before we tell anybody though."
"I agree." Ryan nods. "Wow." He chuckles still trying to process everything.
||Next Day- Whit and Kay's||
"Hey Whit." I smiled as she walked into the shop.
"You're here early." She comments. "How was your date with Ryan?"
"It was really good. We really needed that." I replied. "Speaking of Ryan-" I say as his name appears on my phone. "Hi sweetheart, what's up?" I answered.
"We got a situation."
"What's wrong?"
"Nick got in a car accident last night, and it's pretty bad," Ryan explains. Nick was one of our four drivers at Blaney Motorsports. He had a very promising career ahead of him. "Doctors say he'll be out the rest of the season."
"This was the last thing we needed." I sighed. "So we need to find a replacement," I add thinking of any possible replacements.
"I don't know how we are going to find someone in such short notice. Haulers and teams leave tomorrow."
"Hey, why don't we ask Emma Turner to do it? She'll gain tons of experience since we're still so early in the season." I suggested.
"Sweetheart you're a genius."
"She's coming by the shop later today to help set up, I'll ask her then."
"Awesome, thank you, sweetheart. I have to go to a meeting. I'll see you later, love you."
"Okay bye, love you too." I hang up and set my phone aside. Whitney and I began to get everything unpacked, and we got a lot done. "If we keep it up at this rate we could be open in a week," I say folding up jeans and placing them on the display table. The bell rings by the door signaling someone walked in. "Hi Emma, glad to see you."
"Hi McKayla." She smiles.
"This is Whitney Dillion, Whit this is Emma Turner."
"Nice to meet you Emma, Austin is a big fan."
"Thank you." She replies.
"Delivery for Whitney Dillion." A delivery man says wheeling in five boxes. Whitney gets up and signs them off.
"Whit, what's all that?" I questioned. Whitney opens up all the boxes revealing makeup. "Whit you're a freaking genius."
"I know." She smiles. Emma and I unload all the makeup and start setting up displays, while Whit started working on the show section.
"Hey Emma, can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure."
"I know you're gonna be busy with us and all but could you possibly fill in for one of our drivers at Blaney Motorsports?"
"Wait, are you serious?"
"Sure am." I smiled. "Nick got into an accident last night and from what the doctors say he will most likely be out the rest of the season."
"I'm sorry to hear that, but I'd be honored to drive for you guys."
"Glad to hear. If you want you can leave early and head over to the shop. I'm sure he'd like to speak with you before the teams leave tomorrow."
||Home||
"Mommy!" Briella exclaims running towards me.
"Hi, baby girl." I smiled setting the things down. "Smells good sweetheart," I say peaking into the backyard, seeing Ry grilling.
"Of course it does." Ryan teases. "Erin and Jason are coming over for dinner by the way. Erin wants your advice on last-minute wedding details." Ryan says just as the doorbell rings. Summerlyn runs over to the door and opens it revealing Erin and Jason.
"Hi beautiful." Erin smiles hugging Peyton. "Hi sissy." Erin smiles hugging me.
"Hey sis, hi Jason."
"Hi McKayla," Jason replies.
"Ryan is in the back," I replied. Jason nods and walks out the back door to talk with Ryan. "So Ryan tells me you're having last-minute detail issues?"
"Oh my god yes! I need all of it to be finalized by tomorrow or else we won't have it at the wedding." Erin explains. Erin and I go over the details still missing and luckily got it all figured out. "You're a lifesaver." Erin sighs putting down her phone.
"No problem." I smiled putting a salad together.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"What's up?"
"What's marriage like?"
"The most real thing you will probably ever feel. It can be beautiful at times and it can be challenging, but it's all worth it in the end."
