I decided to stay back while Christian flew out to Colorado for another away series. I don't think Wyatt is ready to handle plane rides and the last thing I need is the team annoyed or bothered by Wyatt being fussy. I knew that Christian needed a break too, so it was only right to let him relax and have fun.

I wanted to spend some mommy/son time with Wyatt anyways; I just felt like he wasn't getting enough one on one time. It was crazy how fast he was growing up! He's standing on his own in his crib, he's smiling, starting to teethe, and babbling cute words. He looks so much like Christian, and he got his smile which made me so happy. As much as Christian hated it? I loved it.

As much as I wanted another kid, at the same time, I didn't. The thought of getting pregnant again scared me; I didn't know if my body could handle it again. I don't know if Wyatt would take having a sibling good since he's so attached to Christian and myself. He already gets jealous when he doesn't receive enough attention and I think we were to blame because we give all of our focus to him.

I picked Wyatt up out of his crib and walked into the kitchen, kissing his cheek. "It's just you and me this weekend, bubby! Daddy will be gone for a couple weeks, so you and I are going to have so much fun!" I sat him in his highchair and got out his food. I sat down in front of him and fed him breakfast. "Should we give daddy a call?" I smiled at him, getting my phone out of my pockets and called Christian on FaceTime.

It didn't take long for him to answer. Christian answered with a smile, "Hi, babygirl. Is that my little man behind you?" I smiled and nodded at him, "Lemme see him!"

I moved the phone so Wyatt could see Christian, "Look, bubba! It's daddy! Can you wave hi?" I fixed his little curls as he got so excited hearing Christian's voice.

"Hey, buddy! Are you being good for momma?" Christian asked and Wyatt just giggled, looking at me. "I miss you two so much."

"We miss you. He is doing so good, behaving like a good boy. How was last night? Everything go okay?" I asked him, setting my phone on the table on its side.

Christian sighed, "Yeah, tweaked my back a little bit, but I'm fine now. I had heat on it all night and took it easy at practice this morning." He replied, yawning, "How are you doing? Everything okay back home?"

I nodded at him, running my fingers through my hair, "Everything is great, baby. Wish you were home, but, Wyatt and I are gonna watch you play baseball on the tv and cheer you on from home!" I smiled and fed Wyatt another spoonful. "He's actually been sleeping really good, which was shocking. He slept a full night last night and even slept in a little this morning right, Wy?" I kissed his forehead, wiping under his mouth.

"That's good! Makes me happy to hear. I hate the whole being behind by an hour thing, it still messes me up," Christian chuckled, "Because it's 9 by you, but 8 here and I had practice four hours ago.." He shook his head, yawning again.

"Why don't you nap then before your game, baby? You don't have to stay and talk to us." I told him, taking Wyatt out of his highchair and walked into the bedroom, sitting Wyatt on the bed as he crawled to Christian's side of the bed, laying his head down on the pillow. I looked over at him, then turned my phone camera to face him, "Baby, look..."

Christian frowned, "Is that my side of the bed?"

I nodded, turning the camera back to face me, "Someone misses their daddy.." I covered Wyatt up and kissed his head, moving to lay next to him, still on FaceTime with Christian, "I miss you a ton.."

"I miss you both. I can't wait to be home with you two. Love the guys, but I can only spend so much time with them," He laughed, laying back on his bed, "And these hotel beds suck. We didn't stay at our normal hotel that we're normally at when we're out here, I was a little sad."

"Sorry, baby. But once you get home, you'll be in a comfy bed again with your fiance and your son." I smiled at him, playing with Wyatt's hair as he peacefully slept. "I think we might go by Aspen for a little bit, maybe watch the game there. I know Gage was coming over as well, so it's some family bonding time.." I told Christian, sighing, "Would be a complete family if you were here.."

"Hey, you know I'm gone a lot these next couple of weeks for baseball. We both knew this was going to happen, and I'm sorry that I can't be home with you and Wyatt all the time.." Christian told me, obviously irritated.

"I know that, Christian. Trust me, you and I have been dealing with this for a while now, I think you and I both know your chaotic schedule. I think it's just different now that we have Wyatt..." I told him, sighing.

"And I told you that it's going to be tough the first couple of months, I told you that when you found out you were pregnant. But, we're working it out, right? Things are gonna be okay.." He sighed, "I wish I could be home with you two all the time, and I wish you could be traveling with me all the time. But, our schedules just don't work out like that.."

I nodded, staying quiet for a minute. "I know.." I sighed, "Then I feel horrible when I have to leave Wyatt with my sister because I feel like we shouldn't have had a kid yet because we have our own busy schedules..." I teared up, looking away as I hated letting Christian see me cry.

"Hey, baby, look at me.." Christian said, "Baby..." I looked at him, sniffling, "I love you, and I think you're an amazing mother to Wyatt. Sure we have busy schedules, but we always make enough time to spend with our boy. Don't think about things like that, I know you're stressed and I know things can get tough, but, you always got me. Even when I'm not home, okay?"

I wiped under my eyes, nodding, "Yeah..." I said quietly, "I'm sorry.."

"You don't need to apologize, babe. It's okay to cry, don't always have to hide it, even though I know you hate crying in front of me." Christian told me, "But hey, I gotta get going and start to get ready for the game, I love you so much, I love Wyatt so much. I'll call you after my game. Make sure you're cheering loud for me."

"I love you too, and we will. Hit a home run for me." I said with a small smile, "I love you, talk to you later.."

Christian hung up and I locked my phone, setting it on the nightstand across the bed and cuddled up with Wyatt, running my fingers through his little curls.

These next couple of weeks were going to be rough...
