It's team tradition for the starting Keeper to wear the number one jersey and since Vlatko named me the starter a few days ago, I'm now wearing the number one shirt.
After I've looked at the list I hand it to the people across from me then I lay back down with my service dog and my friends on the beds in the plane.
We're headed to Tokyo today and we still have 5 hours left in our flight.
"Shadow move your paw." Tobin says.
Shadow doesn't move since she's asleep so I gently move her paw so it's not in Tobin's hair.
Shadow's sleeping above my head for some reason.
After Shadow's paw is out of Tobin's hair I pull my covers over me and shut my eyes.
"Psst." I hear Crystal say so I open my eyes and see Crystal and Casey staring at me.
"Come on." I say and open my arms.
Crystal and Casey smile then they join me under the covers and cuddle with me.
"You're comfy." Crystal says.
"Thanks." I say then I shut my eyes and sleep.
What feels like five minutes later I feel a wet tongue on my face.
"That better be Shadow or one of you's gonna have to answer to Jessie." I say then I open my eyes.
Once I open my eyes I come face to snout with my Service dog.
"Hi Shadow" I say.
Shadow smiles at me then she lays on top of me.
"How much longer?" I ask out loud as I wrap my arms around my dog.
"We just flew over the west coast of Japan so about an hour." Christen says as she watches Tobin play with their daughter.
"Mama." Charlie says.
"Yes Babygirl?" Tobin says.
"Doggy." Charlie says and points to Shadow.
"You wanna play with Shadow?" I ask.
Charlie smiles and nods so I move Shadow to lay in-between myself and Christen then I sit up and rest my back on the wall of the plane.
Once I'm sat up, Christen hands me Charlie then myself and Charlie play with Shadow for the remainder of the flight.
"Ladies and gentlemen we're about to land so if you would please return your seats to the proper upright position and get ready for landing." A flight attendant says over the intercom.
"Tank you." Charlie says.
"Of course." I say then I hand my niece back to her Mom's
"Mommy." Charlie squeals as she reaches out for Alex.
