"Morning Astrid." Hope says and sits down next to me.
"Morning Hope." I say and take a drink of my coffee.
"What are you working on?"
"My sister of the bride/maid of honor speech." I say as I jot down some ideas.
"Ahh." Hope says and sips on her coffee. "I take it Tobin's still asleep too."
"I heard the shower going in my room so I assume she's showering."
"Oh good your up." Mom says.
"Mom I've been up for two hours." I say.
"Oh." Mom says then pulls out a list. "I need you and your sister to get these things done for me by 4 o'clock."
"Yes Ma'am." I say as I read over the list.
"Thank you." Mom says and kisses my head. "You and Kelley use your cards then your father or I will Venmo you later."
"Okay."
"Love you." Mom says and leaves.
"Love you too."
"I'll get Kelley up." Hope says and heads to my Twins room.
I go pour out my coffee then grab my notes and head to my room.
"Morning Boo Bear." I say then kiss Tobin's cheek
"Morning Beautiful." Tobin says and kisses my cheek.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Kelley says from behind me.
"Do you need something Kelley?" I ask.
"When are we leaving?" Kelley asks.
"After you've showered." I say.
"Okay." Kelley says and shuffles back down to her room so I close the door to my room.
"Are we going somewhere?" Tobin asks.
"We have to go get some things for tonight and get some lunch." I say as I put my notes away so Kelley can't find them.

"How many people are coming tonight?" Tobin asks as I sit on my bed
"A lot." I say and pull my girlfriend so she's standing in-between my legs then I hug her waist and rest my head on her abs.
"You okay?" Tobin asks as she runs her fingers through my air.
"It hit me this morning that in a couple days we'll be separated for the first time in a month." I say then look up at my girl. "I'm gonna miss waking up with you in my arms, being with you all day, and going to bed with you."
"I know baby." Tobin says with a soft smile. "But we'll be together in Camp, for SheBelieves, and for Kelley's wedding."
"But then we'll be separated again."
"Is everything okay Astrid?" Tobin softly asks.
"......I don't know if I want to play anymore." I admit. "You're my safety blanket and it's getting harder and harder to be away from you."
"So retirement?" Tobin questions.
"At the end of the season maybe."
"Okay." Tobin says. "Well think about it some more, but for right now let's go get some food then get that stuff for your parents."
"Okay." I mumble then Tobin leans down.
"Everything will work itself out baby." Tobin whispers then she softly kisses me. "And I'll be right beside you for all of it."

"Baby can you help me?" Tobin says from the bathroom.
"Of course." I say then walk into the bathroom. "Holy shit."
"What?" Tobin asks while looking a me through the mirror.
"You look beautiful." I say as I look over my girlfriend.
Tonight our family is hosting our annual New Years Eve party.

"Thanks." Tobin says while blushing then she holds out her necklace. "Can you help me?"
"Of course." I say and take the necklace.
Tobin moves her hair out of the way so I put the necklace around my girlfriends neck then clasp it together.
"There we go." I say then kiss Tobin's neck. "All set."
"LET'S GO LOVE BIRDS." Kelley yells outside the door.
"OKAY." I shout back then lead Tobin out of the bathroom.
The two of us grab our things then we leave the room and head to the garage.
"You're driving." Kelley says and tosses me the golf cart keys.
"Alright." I say then Tobin and I get in the front seat while Kelley and Hope get in the back seat.
I start the golf cart then make the five minute drive over to our grandparents barn where the party is being held. When we get to the barn I park by the door then the four of us head inside.
"Is the party always this packed?" Tobin asks as I lead her through the sea of people.
"This is nothing." Kelley says while leading Hope. "There will be a lot more people here when it gets closer to midnight."
"Wow."
"Hello Family." Kelley says when we get to the area set up for our family to hang.
"Hey twins." Jerry says and hugs me and Kelley.
"Thank you for getting all that stuff." Dad says.
"Of course." I say as the music switches to Kelley's song.
"Come on." Kelley says and grabs my hand. "Let's dance."
"Alright Kelley." I say and follow my twin to the dance floor
Once on the dance floor Kelley and dance to the rhythm of the song then we continue to dance together.
Seven songs later Hope and Tobin come over so I spin Kelley to Hope then start dancing with my Boo Bear.
"I didn't know you could dance like that." Tobin says as she wraps her arms around my neck.
"Kelley and I used to dance a lot as children." I say and wrap my arms around her waist. "But I can also dance in ways that aren't appropriate for this party."
"Maybe you can show me later." Tobin says with a smirk.
"I think that can be arranged."
Tobin and I dance for a few more songs before we head over to the food and fill our plates then we get our drinks and sit down in the family area. The two of us eat and talk with people for a couple hours until the count down begins. As the beginning of the countdown starts everyone heads out side for the fire works show.
When the countdown gets to 5 I wrap Tobin in my arms then look at my girl.
"I love you Tobin." I says.
"I love you Astrid." Tobin says.
"HAPPY NEW YEARS." Everyone yells.
As the first fireworks go off I lean down and passionately kiss my girlfriend.
"Happy New Years baby." Tobin says with a smile.
"Happy New Years Boo Bear."
