We don’t need you to message us reminders separate from the team updates. We have access to the calendar too, Cap.

Ryan

Say what you want, Goalie- but I appreciate it.

Tate

Team plane? Is this a prank?

Ronan

Tell me you're fucking joking.

Jordan

Wheels up in forty-five minutes and your ass better be here Tx.

Fitz

Better giddy up, cowboy.

I shoot up so fast I see stars and have to lay back down for a second. I’m quickly swiping and tapping on my phone as I pull up the team calendar.

Shit.I got the dates mixed up. I quickly call the nanny momma had helped arrange for Matty while I'm on the road. How did I miss this?

Gloria’s voicemail picks up. I call again. and again. All the while rushing around grabbing my duffle and packing a light bag and yanking mysuit out of the closet. My phone pings and I nearly dive over the bed in my underwear to see if it’s the nanny.

Gloria

Sorry, Mr Bridges. I’m visiting family for the holidays and will return Dec 26th. You approved this via email three days ago.

Tate

Sorry about that, enjoy your vacation.

Damn. Dammit. Fucking Damnit. What am I supposed to do now? I can’t call my mom. I don’t think anyone on the team has kids… I reopen the stupid group chat.

Tate

Do any of you happen to have a super awesome nanny that will take one more kid?

Ronan

Emalyn is still focusing on her career, so we aren't quite to the kids' stage yet.

Fitz

Pretty sure you aren’t even in the relationship stage yet.

Ronan

Howdareyou.

Ryan

I didn’t even know you had a baby. Congrats.
