The Dream Team

9: christmas in canada

Raegan's POV

    "Do we have all the bags?" I asked, looking around at the suitcases that surrounded us. We were on our way to Toronto for Christmas and I would be more excited if I wasn't stressed out and sick to my stomach from the baby. Tae, Kyle, and I loaded the private jet, just the three of us and got settled.

    "You ok?" Tae asked as I laid my head back on the seat. I shook my head no and tried to keep my breakfast down. "Can she get a ginger ale, please?" he called out to a flight attendant and they brought one over quickly. I drank it down fast and tried to focus on the music coming through my airpods.

    Isaac and Jiles had flown in with the team of course. Kyle was fine without Isaac for a few hours but lately all I wanted to do was be with Jiles. I cried all last night as he got packed to leave even though I knew I'd see him today. Pregnancy was starting to kick in full force and I was hating it. My bump had grown slightly but not enough to notice with my everyday clothes. I had to make an effort to show it off.

    Normally, on flights I slept the whole time but I couldn't get comfortable enough to on this ride. Kyle stayed up and watched movies with me while Tae slept on the other side of the plane and the nausea went away until we started descending.

    "I think I'm going to throw up," I said, holding my hand over my mouth. I ran to the bathroom and emptied my stomach out in the toilet. I had a small travel pack with me that had my necessities. Luckily, my toothbrush was one of those necessities and I brushed my teeth before making my way back to the couch. I laid down and prayed the entire way down that I wouldn't throw up again. When we finally landed I cried, happy to finally be getting off of that stupid plane. I pulled my phone out and went straight to Jiles' contact to call him.

    "I just landed," I said, wiping my eyes.   

    "You ok, mamas?" he asked, hearing something was off.

    "I just felt so sick on the plane ride," I told him. I took my suitcase from the flight attendant, thanking him and walked to the car Jiles had waiting for us.

    "Do you want to call the doctor?" he asked, worried. Every little thing about the baby worried him. He was so careful with our baby and it wasn't even here yet.

    "No, baby. It was just motion sickness. I just want to go to the hotel and sleep," I was so tired. I barely got any sleep last night without Jiles there and the plane ride just made things worse.

    "Ok, I'll be there later this afternoon after practice to come see you, ok?" he said, sweetly. "I love you, Poodah," he called.

    "You're not allowed to call me that," I laughed. "But, I love you, too," I grinned.

    "I hate listening to y'all," Kyle rolled her eyes as she walked past me to get in the car. I hung up the phone with Jiles and snapped my neck at her.

    "I know you're not talking! You be cupcaking on the phone with Isaac EVERYWHERE we go," I said, exaggerating the "everywhere" part. It was mostly true though. She flipped me off causing Tae and I to both crack up cuz she knew I wasn't wrong.

    "Lil mad ass, ain't nothing wrong with y'all missing y'all niggas when they're away," he laughed. I couldn't wait for Jiles' practice to be over so I could see him.

    When we got to the hotel I found my room as quickly as I could. I didn't even bother unpacking anything, I just dropped my bag and laid down. Jiles had unpacked some of his stuff and I took one of his hoodies and put it on, falling asleep in it. When I woke up a few hours later it was to him jumping on the bed.
