Six and a Half Years Later

"Are you guys on your way?" I scoffed at Griffin's voice. Natalie looked over at me and chuckled, clicking her tongue. "Griffin, does it look like we even made it out of the house yet?" I slammed the refrigerator door closed, the fresh coloring pages hanging on by a meer magnet.

"Get in the car! Don't forget the passes!" He lectured her through facetime. I watched as Natalie stressed herself out. I bit my lip, walking over to her watching her say her goodbyes and hitting the red end button.

I frowned as my eyes traced over her under-eye dark circles.

It was early and the kids were awake— however, we didn't want to summon them.

I shrug, "He's a psycho. He thinks that if he has a kid every so many year he can dedicate his time to them. But if you asked me–" I cut myself off as I leaned towards Natalie. "Every five to eight years there is a good chance the football roster gets recycled." She snorts.
