Roman-
Three years later-
The Houston Texans extended my contract to five more years. Getting home, Mya walked over to me, a smile on her face. I was lucky I got to see her first steps and hear her first words. Most guys in my position didn't.
"Hi princess, I love when you greet me", I said, lifting her into my arms.
"Daddy", she hugged me.
"Where's momma?", I asked, kissing her cheek.
She giggled. I walked into the kitchen and Willa was serving dinner and Paige was setting the table.
"Right on time", Willa said, handing me my plate.
"How are you and baby?", I asked.
She was six months pregnant. She placed her hand on her belly.
"Your son is doing just fine and so am I", she said.
"Son?", I asked, looking between her and Paige.
She nodded. She had a doctor's appointment while I was away. I hated missing it.
"Congratulations, it's a boy", Paige said.
"We're having a boy?", I asked.
I couldn't believe it.
"You get your boy", Willa said laughing.
I put Mya in her high chair and went over to Willa, pulling her into my arms and kissing her.
"Thank you", I said.
I bent down and kissed her bump.
"Hi my little man", I said.
Willa and I had gotten married last year before football season started. I cupped Willa's face in my hands and kissed her.
"I missed you today Mrs. Reigns", I whispered against her lips.
She pecked my lips.
"Missed you too", she said.
"Ugh, get a room, there is a child watching", Paige said.
I stuck my tongue out at her and Willa laughed.
"You two drive me crazier than Mya does", Willa said.
"Knock knock", we heard.
Dean and Brie were coming in. A baby in each hand, they had twin girls last year. I smiled.
"Hands full", I said.
Dean nodded with a smile.
"Let me hold her", I said, taking his daughter in my arms.
"So do you know what you two are having yet?", Brie asked, before kissing the top of Mya's head.
Brie handed her daughter to Paige.
"It's a boy", I said excited.
"Congrats man", Dean said, patting my back.
"Thanks", I said.
"He finally gets his future football star", Willa said.
"Hey, I need one of those", Dean said.
He looked over at Brie and winked. She blushed and smiled.
"Not for another year", Brie said.
Dean went over to her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her cheek.
"Oh, by the way I don't know if Nikki called you already", Brie said.
Willa shook her head no.
"Seth proposed, looks like we'll have a wedding soon", Brie said.
"Super nerd is getting married", I said surprised.
Everyone laughed and Willa swatted my arm.
"Ouch babe", I said.
"Stop calling him that", Willa said, trying not to laugh.
We heard the front door open and then close shut. Willa handed Dean some plates for him and Brie. Joey came around the corner and smiled.
"Mya", he said.
Mya smiled at him.
"Hungry?", Willa asked him.
He nodded and she served him a plate, handing it to him.
"So both of your families are booked to come to your first game of the season. They will be here the day before and hotel rooms are already booked", Joey said.
"Good, thank you", I said.
Willa placed her hand on her bump.
"You okay?", I asked.
"Yeah, he's just kicking", she said.
I placed my hand and I felt a kick. I smiled.
"My son", I said.
Willa smiled. We had agreed on having at least three or four kids. Growing up, she was an only child, I wasn't. Willa didn't want Mya to be an only child. My family was nicer to Willa and they even sat down with her mom and dad to talk. Willa's mom felt like she owed them an explanation even though they told her she didn't.
"Oh remind me to ask my mom, Trish, and yours about Mya's third birthday", Willa said.
"Noted", I said.
I nodded. I handed Dean is daughter and he went to lay her in the playpen. I walked up behind Willa and placed my hands on the sides of her bump.
"I love you Willa", I whispered, kissing her cheek.
"Love you too", she said.
She turned in my arms and kissed me.
"We are going to need names for your kid. Have anything in mind?", she said.
"No, I didn't want to get my hopes up. We can do that tonight", I said.
She nodded.
"Oh you also have a package for you. I put it down in your man cave", she said.
I nodded. For my birthday she had surprised me with a man cave three years ago. It had a large living room with a big screen tv. A bar, a fridge, a pool table and a couple of pin ball machines. They had built in a movie rack into the wall, it held my favorite movies, my video games, and albums. On another wall was my awards I'd won at the Espys and Teen Choice Awards. My Super Bowl rings with the Patriots. My jerseys from college, the Patriots, and the Texans hung in frames on the wall.
"Love birds come and eat", Dean called.
"We're coming. Willa can't move that fast", I said.
I kissed Willa before taking her hand and guiding her to the table to eat.
