“That’s good and exactly what we want.”
“Beau travels well,” she tells me.
Why hadn’t I thought to ask Elle about Beau? “You’re right. I forgot.”
She leaves, only to return with some food. I hadn’t realized I was starving until she put it down on the table in front of us.
“Thank you. I’m sorry, but I forgot your name.”
“It’s Sage,” she tells me. “I’ve only been on a couple of your flights.”
“Well, thank you, Sage.”
When she walks away, I lean over and kiss Noah on the cheek.
“What’s that for?”
“For being the best husband a girl could ask for.”
He smiles. “I did it selfishly.”
“Oh yeah?”
He nods. “I wanted you to sit next to me, but you moved to the back. I couldn’t have that.”
After we eat, I bring Stevie Nicks onto my lap. She lies across both of us while we watch a movie. Thankfully, the flight is short, but it gives me time to snuggle with my favorite human and our pup.
“Are you going into the office tomorrow?”
“I think Stevie Nicks and I might make an appearance. I think she wants to run on the field.” Logan will lose his mind and he deserves it for the way he’s treating Noah.
“What if Logan fires you?”
I shrug. “Then Stevie Nicks doesn’t have to worry about a babysitter. Besides, I’d have a job before I even cleaned out my desk.”
“Would you go to work for someone else?”
Another shrug. “I like the idea of freelancing. Getting game film might be hard, but it’s probably something I can manage with each team. We’ll see. I’m not worried.”
“I am,” Noah says. “I’m worried how their lack of commitment in me might affect you.”
I turn slightly and cup his face. “Babe, we are fine. I love how you worry about me but believe me when I say things will work out. If they fire me, so be it. I’m seven weeks into this pregnancy and I honestly don’t know if I want to go back to work. If this is our only child, I want to spoil the crap out of them. I don’t want a nanny raising our baby.”
“It’s odd. I can’t imagine not playing next year.”
“There are other things in the world we could be doing.”
He kisses me. “Like moving back to Beaumont?”
“Have you thought about it?”
He nods. “A little. My mom is very excited. She’s ready to be a grandma.”
“I think my parents might move as well, once the adoption is final.”
“That would be perfect. We’d just need Quinn.”
My heart sinks a bit. “Elle and I would have to convince Nola it’s an amazing place for her to be. I’m not so sure she’d agree, though. Sometimes I wonder how much she’s given up to be with Quinn when he hasn’t given up anything.”
