A Second Chance at Love

Tonight was the All Star Draft and it was looking to be a fun night. We went back up to the rooms to hang out for awhile before getting ready. The hotel had graciously gave us three connecting rooms for Danny, I and the boys. He went to work hooking up game systems and I laid down. All I wanted to do was sleep anymore. It was insane.

Not long after, Danny crawled into bed with me, "Sweetheart do you want to take the boys swimming at two o'clock?"

I looked up at him, "that's perfect, I can grab an hour nap." I said as he pulled me into him. I woke up alone at three o'clock. He must have already taken them down. I raced to throw on my bathing suit and a towel. I wasn't to happy being pregnant and wearing a bathing suit, but what can you do. Swimming sounded so good.

I found the guys easily. I was trying to slip into the pool unnoticed, but Mike's ear splitting whistle ruined it. At least my bathing suit was cute. It was more like a short black skirt and teal halter top that hugged my tummy.

After swimming with the guys for an hour, we went back up to get dressed. Danny was trying to convince me to shower with him on the elevator and Jeff overheard. He was cracking up at Danny who was whining like a four year old. "But Raina, we will be conserving water, saving the rainforest and all that."

After much time, we were showered and ready to go. Bets were placed throughout dinner as to which of the guys would go first. Maman had even bet on Jeff to get picked before her own son. Mike bought me a virgin strawberry daiquiri to win my vote. I swear if Danny ever left me I will marry Mike in a heartbeat.

The draft was funny. Richie and Claude ended up on one team, Danny and Jeff on the other. Ryan was thrilled Danny and Alex were on the same team. I swear I sometimes don't know where my son came from.

Maman took the boys upstairs after so we could all go out. I announced I was the designated walker and the group cracked up. The started hitting shots of Jack and I knew it would be a long night. I danced with Mike first because Danny wasn't drunk enough yet. Geno cut in and gave me another hug. "Sorry Rainy, I miss you. We party once babies are out." I just smiled.

After numerous shots, I so knew they would be paying for it tomorrow. Most of us started dancing. I even convinced Danny to dance with me. Probably a bad idea since his idea of dancing was grinding on me and begging me to go back up to the room with him. Jeff heard the discussion of course. I swear that guy had a radar for anytime the word sex is mentioned. He yelled "relax Daniel son" and burst out laughing.

Eric stopped and said hi. I was relived Jordan kept his distance the entire night. Finally by two o'clock the guys were ready to call it a night. Danielle and I had to almost carry Danny back. Mike fell in the hallway and I almost peed myself from laughing. Jeff finally carried him to his room.

We finally got Danny into bed. I put a trashcan next to him and laid down. He was mumbling something about a wedding. He looked at me with a stupid drunk grin and asked me if we cooked get married right away. I just smiled and covered him up. Life was looking up again for us.
