Sahar 🌙
Today we have a interview with Jim Hill. It's been a few days since the game i threw first pitch. "You'll be great babe" cody says pecking my lips. There's people here already setting up cameras and we got mic'd. My dad and matt aren't here they went to Mexico to do somethings. Jaime is gonna watch Eli while we do the interview. "Hello Jim , Jim Hill" he says sticking his hand out. "Hello Sahar Luna" i say shaking his hand. Him and cody bro hug.

"Thank you for opening us the doors of your home" he says starting the interview and i smile. "Well start easy , how did you two meet?" He asks and i look at cody. "We met through instagram" cody says and we chuckle. "I grew up playing baseball and I had seen his 2017 season highlights i saw how great he was. I decided to dm him and basically gas him up" i say and he chuckles. "Yeah. He says. "You two are one of the most loved by social media. You seem to be perfect for eachother. Sahar you were in attendance at the 2018 world series games and nlcs" he says. "Yes" i respond.

"At the time you and cody weren't making your relationship public. Do you think it was easier for you to not be public?" He asks. "No not really. We had to be cautious about going out to certain places. We had to keep an eye out. Even though we weren't hiding it we just knew how social media or just the media works and we wanted it to be just for us for as long as possible" i say and he nods. "June 2019 rumors began that you two were expecting" he says. "Both of you didn't confirm nor deny the rumors" he adds.

"Months passed and there was no sight of you two together which speculated break up rumors. October comes around , dodgers are in the world series. You were pulled out of the lineup last minute. The next day you played and won the world series after 3 years going straight. You didn't celebrate with the guys. During the last games the guys wore a specific ribbon" he says. "Tell me about it" he says. "October i was 5/6 months pregnant. I began feeling not good , i talked to my doctor and she said i needed to rush to the emergency room" i say.

"We arrive , i get checked in and after some tests its revealed that i indeed had preeclampsia. I needed to be induced to try and save him and save myself" i say and feel my eyes water. Cody's thumb rubs my hand comforting me. "We were told that he would only have an hour to live because of how small and undeveloped he was. He was right away connected to machines. The hour became to 2 hours then to see if he would make it overnight" i say. "I knew how much the guys needed him and i know what the win would mean to his career. I knew how much he was hurting but he needed the fans , he needed to feel that so i told him to go play" i say.

"Walking out of that hospital knowing she is devastated and is trying so hard to be strong and my son is fighting for his life was terrible. I knew getting to the stadium would go either way. I just had to see everything in a positive way which is how i was able to play. I kept on repeating "he will make it , he'll know that his dad won at the world series. He'll be proud of me. I have an amazing strong , beautiful partner walking next to me. She'll be proud. I need this win , not for myself but for them" If i didnt repeat that to myself i wouldn't have gone" he says.

"This is Eli" i say sitting him on my lap. "He is 4 months and is very healthy" i add. "He's adorable , definitely looks like you Cody" he says. "Yes he does" i say. "Hi eli" jim says and eli giggles. "He's a very giggly baby so full of life" cody says. "He's my buddy" he adds and i chuckle. "Do you think this journey has made you stronger as a couple?" He asks. "Yes definitely. I couldn't have done this with out her. She's the strongest person i know. She never gives up. She's my rock" he says. "Definitely. He's the best , he's the biggest support i could've ever asked for. Without him by myself i couldn't see myself going through this" i say.

We walk talk for a bit more then he leaves. We stay and eat then we decide to go to his house.

"What do you think it is?"cody asks. "I have no idea. You know how he is" i say and he nods chuckling. We walk in and he stops us. "Put this on" he says giving us some blindfolds. Cody has the baby carrier on. "I have eli" he says. "I'll take him and I'll walk you" matt says. He gets my arm and we walk. "Is dad here?" I ask as we walk outside. "Yes i am this idot has me sitting out here blindfolded for 20 minutes now" my dad says and we burst out laughing. "Okay here's the chair sit" matt says putting my hand on the seat. "Here sit" he tells Cody.

"I'm coming out. I want the world to know. Got to let it show. I'm coming out. I want the world to know. I got to let it show. There's a new me coming out And I just had to live And I want to give" a song plays and i chuckle. "Okay take it off" matt says. "Im scared" i say laughing. I take my blindfold off and my jaw drops. Were in a canopy thats FULLY decorated with rainbow things. We all look at eachother and the table also has rainbow decor. The song is still playing. "I have a poem" he says and clears his throat making me laugh.

"Roses are red clouds are gray" he says and i look at him confused and chuckle. "I like same sex ohhh crap im gay" he says chuckling and we chuckle. "You are the only closest people i have and i just wanted to finally get this off my chest" he says i see his eyes water and i get up hugging him. Lowkey i been knew , i just wasn't going to bring it up. "I love you okay? I'll be here as always. I got your back no matter what. You have my support 100%" i say rubbing his back. My dad comes and hugs him again just being accepting and showing him support. Then comes cody and he also supports him.

He honestly looks so relieved , like weight got lifted off his shoulder. "I got sushi , pizza and wings" matt says showing us the food. "How long did this take you?" I ask.  "About two hours" he says. "It looks great" i say. "Thank you" he says. "I don't want you guys to see me different or treat me different" he adds.  "Never" we say. We eat and talk then he goes inside and comes back with a cake and candy bags. "I'm proud of you Matt" i say hugging him.
