"Have you made a decision on who you're gonna sign with?" Allie asks, as Eric enters the living room and sits down next to her.
"Yeah, I have," he replies, looking nervous.
"Babe, are you okay? You know I'm fine with whatever team you sign with," she reassures him, even though deep down she doesn't wanna leave the city she has lived in her entire life.
"So, I decided I'm not gonna resign with the Royals," he lets out, squeezing her hand.
"Enough with the bullshit Eric! Just tell me where you're going! You know I hate when you turn things into a guessing game!" she replies, her voice laced with annoyance and irritation.
"Fine, Allie! I'm signing with San Diego," he informs her.
"San Diego? Why San Diego?" she asks, trying to mask her anger and annoyance.
"They offered me more years and I think I need a change of scenery," he explains, trying not to upset her more.
"Even though I would prefer you staying here in KC so we wouldn't have to be away from my family, I'm still your wifey and I will support you 1000%. So, looks like we better start condo shopping in sunny San Diego," she replies, causing him to smile.
"Thank you so much for being so understanding babe! 10 out of 10 would wifey again," he smiles, before kissing her sweetly.
"I love you so much!" she kisses his jaw.
"I love you so much more princess," he kisses her temple.
Allie is taken out of her thoughts with the sound of Eric stopping in front of a group of buildings near Petco Park.
"We're here?" she asks, finally breaking out of her thoughts.
"Yes babe, welcome to our new community," he replies, as they are allowed access inside the gated community.
Eric drives them inside and they make their way towards their new building. They pass tennis courts, basketball courts, pools, a mini golf course, and other outdoor games, before arriving in front of their building. They park in their assigned parking spot and get out of the car. The moving van parks right in front of the building entrance. They walk inside the building and make their way to the top floor, where their new condo is located. They walk down the hallway until they reach the front door of their condo. Eric opens the door and they step inside their new condo.
"Welcome to our new home babe," Eric smiles, as they walk inside the living room. They walk all around the luxury condo, loving the amount of space they have.
"This place is so beautiful," she smiles, taking in the furnishings of the condo.
"And it's only 15 minutes away from Petco," he adds in, loving how close it is to stadium.
They go into their master suite and start putting stuff down. They then help the movers bring in a bunch of their furniture. It takes almost an hour to bring all their items in. The movers then leave and Allie and Eric are tasked with organizing all their belongings. After almost 10 hours, they finally have everything set up and organized. They order takeout and watch movies on the couch, before getting ready for bed.
It's 10pm when they finally slip into bed after a long day of moving.
"I can't believe tomorrow is the home opener," he sighs, thinking about how he will play his 1st regular season game as a San Diego Padre.
"Me neither! But I'll be there to support you," she replies, snuggling into his side.
"Thank you for moving here with me," he replies, kissing her temple.
"You're welcome babe. There's no other place in this world I'd rather be than with you," she reassures him, before rolling on top of him.
His hands travel down to her lower waist and she cups his face with her hands, leaning up to kiss him sweetly.
"So why'd you pick a condo in a gate community and not a high rise penthouse in downtown?" she asks curiously.
"As much as living downtown is convenient and right next to the stadium, I wanted us to live in a more residential and private area. I want to get used to living like this for when we buy a house and start a family," he explains, running his hands up and down her sides slowly.
"Buy and house and start a family? You want to do those things with me?" she asks, biting her lip in pure thought.
"Of course, babe. You're my wifey. You're it for me and I want everything with you. I got 8 years on this contract and I want to be settled down with you by then," he explains, expressing his feelings.
"I swear to God Eric John Hosmer, are you proposing to me right now?" she asks, her eyes brimming with tears.
"No baby, I'm just letting you know what I've been thinking. I want a future with you and I hope you want a future with me someday," he reassures her, wiping away the stray tears from her cheeks.
"Well when you do propose, just know it's a fuck yes," she replies, giggling lightly.
"I'm glad to hear that babe. I love you more than you'll ever know," he replies, kissing her.
"I love you too babe," she smiles, playing with his hair.
"Now enough with the sappy tears! We have more important things to do like commemorating our first night in our new home," he replies, reaching down to give her butt a playful squeeze.
"Yeah not happening lover boy! We need some shut eye because we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow," she giggles, shaking her head at how ridiculous he is.
"Alright fine, but tomorrow night this is all mine," he teases, slapping her butt playfully.
"Ugh you're such a pest!" she groans jokingly.
"You still love me though," he sing-songs, before yawning.
"Unfortunately I do. Now let's go to sleep," she orders, rolling off him and snuggling into his side.
"Goodnight babe, I love you," he sighs, kissing her forehead.
"Goodnight, I love you too," she yawns, before soigne her eyes.
The two fall asleep wrapped in each other's arms. Maybe the moving to San Diego wasn't so bad for Allie after all.
