"Terry, how are you feeling about this anticipated Christmas game?" One of the news reporters asked me as I walked off the court.

"Man, I feel great! My team is ready for whatever the other team has. We coming home with a win, my brother." I said as I wiped my face with a towel. I was sweating bullets after a long practice. We've been practicing day and night waiting for this big game.

"How is your wife, Brandy Hightower? How does she have such great fashions while cheering you on?" The news reporter said as we stopped in the hallway by the lockeroom.

"My wife is doing really well. She's at home taking care of our beautiful daughters, Amilyan and Aleah. Now, when it comes to her fashions, she's great. She's her own stylist, so she even helps me look great during different appearances. Love you, baby!" I said as I kissed and winked towards the camera.

"Alrighty then, sir. We will catch our winning star, Terry Hightower live in action with the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow night with the Atlanta Hawks and the night after that with the Minnesota Timberwolves! Stayed tuned for the Christmas game with the San Antonio Spurs on next Saturday night! You don't want to miss it!"

"Peace!" I said as I smiled at the camera and gave the reporter some dap.

I jogged to the locker room as I went to my locker to get my phone. I instantly called my heartbeat in human form.

"Hello, my honey bunny." Brandy said singing into the phone.

"Hey, baby. What's going on?"

"Amilyan and I are making a list of the things we need to get for Christmas dinner." Brandy said as I heard her smacking on some potato chips. I hope it's not the BBQ. Those are my favorite kind, and they always end up missing when I come home.

"Hey, Daddy!" Amilyan said cheerfully into the phone.

"Hey, my princess. What's daddy favorite girl doing?" I said smiling as I looked for some clothes to change in.

"Helping mommy with sissy. Oh, and Santa Claus dinner!" Amilyan said as she smacked on some chips.

"Babe, these BBQ chips are the bomb." Brandy said laughing.

I knew it.

"Can you at least save some for me?" I asked chuckling.

"Um, ye—Hold on, baby, I hear somebody at the door. Mily, talk to daddy." Brandy said as I assumed she put the phone in Mily's hand.

"No, go ahead, baby. I'll be home in a little bit. I'm about to take a quick shower. Y'all want anything?"

"Shrimp and rice." Amilyan said giggling. She sounds just like her mother.

"Ok, pumpkin. Daddy loves you."

"Love you too, daddy." Amilyan said making kisses in the phone.

I made kissing noises until we hung up.

"Awwwww." I heard one of my teammates say.

"Whatever, man." I said chuckling as I got my clothes and went to take a shower.

Then it hit me.
