.. warm up, or maybe I should say test the field conditions and freeze our yah-yahs off, I'd like Ed to throw some balls to Kyle to see what kind of p...sses we can call during the game. Ed, give that info to Matt and Jacob." You got it, boss," Ed agreed. I nodded my consent too. Justin filled Ed and me in on our team's game plan for the day. Thanks to the weather, our team would be running more than normal and throwing short passes. We still would try deep occasionally to force Jefferson to. I looked back at the table to see Troy make the 2 ball. So he had stripes. Mike looked at me and told me that I had better play my ass off. I did but soon it was down to me with one ball and Troy only had the 8 ball. But I had missed enough that my top was on the table next to Mike. But I thought I got this, my 6 ball is right in front of the center pocket and the 8 ball was in front of the other center pocket where I had to get over the 8 ball with my cue. By now all the guys in the place were. Clearly, the drinks were loosening Taylah's normal conservative personality up.It had been nearly two hours since I had received those photos from Carla, accompanied by a simple line reading, "Be careful what you wish for, Nick!"Now, a lot can happen in that time. It was now after 01:00 am, and here I was now receiving a picture message from Taylah. My heart hoped it was a photo of her and Carla in the back of an Uber on their way home, but I had a bad feeling it was going to be much more.As I. And by the three of us I didn't mean me and her boobs.We got married and a few years later adopted another baby girl. I loved Bonnie more every day and I loved my girls too. I didn't think that my life could possibly get any better until roughly nine months ago when Bonnie told me that she was pregnant.The astronauts on the international space station probably heard us screaming that day. Not that we loved our girls any less, but this was something that we both really wanted and thought that.
