“What?” she gasped, trying to sound wounded by my warning. “I’m going to behave.”
“You better, or there will be consequences.”
Her mischievous smile returned as she asked, “You promise?”
“Bree...”
She gave me a wink, then grabbed Caleb and headed out to the truck. When we got to the clubhouse, everyone was already there, preparing for the big game. While I went out to help Country and Lynch with the grilling, Aubrey took Caleb and went to join the girls in the kitchen. As soon as I stepped outside, Country offered me a beer and asked, “So, whatcha think?”
“About?”
“The game?” It was clear he was hoping for a big win as he asked, “You think we’ll pull one out?”
“I wouldn’t hold my breath, brother.”
“I don’t know, man. I think we’re gonna do it today.” He started flipping the burgers as he said, “It’s been a long time coming.”
“I hope you’re right.”
Widow leaned in and chuckled as he said, “I want a win as much as anyone, but we both know that shit’s not gonna happen.”
“Probably not.”
Once we finished grilling the burgers and brats, we carried them inside and started fixing our plates before the game started. When it was time for kickoff, everyone gathered in the family room and started eating as we watched our boys take the field. As soon as they kicked off, the room filled with the roaring cheers of my brothers. Sadly, it didn’t take long for the cheering to turn to angry, chastising rants. Alabama was killing us, and things weren’t looking good for a turnaround. When ’Bama scored yet again, Bree glanced over to me with a big smile and twirled her hands in the air as she mouthed, “Roll Tide Roll.”
Even though my team was going down and going down fast, I couldn’t help but smile. Not only did I have my brothers, I had my woman, a son I adored, and another baby on the way. I’d never thought I’d be one of those guys who ended up with a happy fucking ending, but I’d found it. And as I sat there staring back at my wife and son, I knew the best was yet to come.
The End
