Life with the WAGS

From LA to KC

What a great start to my work week! Interviews left and right, travel plans for next week, Jackson in the office and my work family being funny. I get a frantic text message from Patrick.
Text Conversation:
Patrick, is Travis okay?
Not really. You need to get to Kansas City ASAP.
Why?
Travis suffered a concussion and he's loopy.
Wow! I have to take Jackson back home and book a flight.
Jackson?
He's my dog.
Hurry!
I will.
I leave the office with Jackson and my heart is racing. I open the door to the house and I see Rob. I tell him my situation and he's willing to stay with the dog. I get to LAX and check in. Moments later, I get on a plane and I get worried. I'm lost in my thoughts when Sidney is on my flight. We catch up with each other. The flight lands and I get my bag. A moment later, I am at the entrance to the hospital. I tell the doctor who I am here for. I walk to the room and my heart breaks. I look at my
phone and I text Rob.
Text Conversation:
Rob, thanks for taking care of Jackson. I owe you.
You're welcome, Vanessa. How are you?
💔
Why?
I'm at a Kansas City Hospital worried about Travis. He suffered a concussion and he's loopy.
Oh no! That stinks. I hope he gets well soon. I'm going to feed Jackson.
Bye, Rob!
I'm sitting near the hospital bed thinking about Travis. I nervously grab my engagement ring. A few moments later, I feel a hand in mine. I hope Travis is okay and we talk. I grab my phone and I text Rob and Patrick.
Group Chat:
Guys, Travis is okay.
Woo hoo!
Best news ever! Are you coming back to Los Angeles?
I'm not sure.
If you're staying in Kansas City then I am willing to put the two of you in my house.
Patrick, that's sweet of you. It'll be okay if Travis and I stay in his house. We don't want to impose on you.
You're my friend and Travis is my team mate.
Patrick is right. I took care of my teammates in injury situations. It actually helped me with bonding. I didn't want to make Coach mad. I think you should stay in Kansas City with Travis and Patrick.
Really, Gronk?
Really.
🙄
Are you okay?
I made my decision. I'm staying in Kansas City.
Woo hoo!
Woo!
I have to go.
See you!
Bye!
I get to Travis's car and I get in the drivers seat. We're on the road to Patrick's house and I pull the car over and I text Rob.
Text Conversation:
Rob, I have a bad feeling. Would you please check on Jackson?
Vanessa, he's fine we're chilling.
What a relief!
It is. The backyard is such an awesome place for a Great Dane and his best friend. That came out wrong.
It came out perfect. You're sure you can handle the 🐶?
Yeah. I just ordered food and we're going to watch a movie.
Just make sure it's not John Wick!
I will it's probably going to be a Disney movie.
Oh. Have fun with Jackson.
I will.
