Madeline's POV- October 2017
: It's going to be too hot to wear this LA, but it's cold enough to wear it here in Toronto. Dodgers are going to the World Series! AHHH #ThisTeam
The Dodgers were going to the World Series. As happy as I was for Cody and his team, there was this form of dread in the pit of my stomach. Just a few months ago, I had been in the same position as Cody. I had hoped to end my collegiate career with a National Title. Afterall, the odds were technically in our favor. Going into the Women's College World Series, the Florida Gators softball team was in first place. We easily advanced to the Championship series where we faced the Oklahoma Sooners. They ended up winning and actually sweeping us. There was this feeling in my gut that was telling me that this was not going to end well and I was trying my best to ignore it.
"You're staring"
I smiled and leaned in to kiss Cody's cheek.
"Good morning handsome" I greeted.he hummed.
"You missed"
"Did I now?" I teased.
He slowly opened his eyes and nodded.
"Yeah"
I laughed as he puckered his lips. When he saw I wasn't moving, he pouted at me.
"You're being mean to me"
"We've got morning breath" I stated.
"I don't care"
He cupped my cheek as I leaned in. Just as our lips were about to meet, there was a knock on the door.
"Yes?" I called out.
"Lunch is ready!"
"Is it that late?" I asked.
Cody groaned as I sat up. Reaching for my phone, I sat that it was 1PM.
"Be there in a second" I said.
"I will eat your guys food!"
Chris was not lying there.
"Come on, get up" I told Cody.

He pouted and shook his head.
"Not until I get my kiss"
I sighed and smiled at him.
"Fine" I joked.
He smiled and met me halfway into the kiss.
"I missed you so much"
He pressed his nose against my cheek and then kissed my cheek.
"Well it's a good thing I'll be here all week" I replied.
Win or lose I was going to be by Cody's side.
"Now let's change and go eat" I said.
I gave him one last kiss in order to get him to let go of me. Once I was out of bed, I walked over to my suitcase.
"Are you going to get up?" I asked.
"I'm enjoying the view"
He laughed when I reached for a pillow that was on the floor and threw it at him.
"Your aim is still great"
I hummed and decided to keep the shorts I was wearing on. LA was experiencing a heatwave, so I was pretty happy to be home. To be honest, I had missed the warmth. Can you blame me though? I had grown up in warm states (California, Arizona, Florida). Toronto was beautiful, but I had yet to get used to the cold.
"Ready?"
I nodded as Cody adjusted the waistband of his shorts on his waist.
"Let's go eat"
He opened the door and I followed him to the living room.
"Good morning"
Andi smiled.
"More like afternoon"
I made my way around Cody and grinned at her.
"Good afternoon" I greeted.
"It's nice to see you"
I pulled her into a hug as I nodded.
"You two were up early" I noted.
"Yeah, we had breakfast with my dad"
"How nice" I stated.
She slowly nodded.
"You two must be starving, I gotta give it to you for still having the energy to have sex last night"

Cody laughed.
"Oh we didn't have sex, Maddy just gave me a back massage"
"He just finds a way to make everything sexual" I noted.
Chris chuckled.
"Thanks for the sandwich Andi"
She smiled before turning her attention to the everything bagel she was layering with avocado.
"I'm almost done with yours MAddy"
"Is there coffee?" I asked.
Chris nodded.
"We picked some up on the way"
"Hello to you Mr. Co-MVP" I greeted.
He chuckled.
"It's nice to see you Maddy"
He gestured at Cody.
"This one has been absolutely miserable"
Cody nodded agreeing.
"Here you go"
"Thank you" I said as I took the cup of coffee.
"Caramel macchiato"
I took a sip of the coffee and smiled.
"You're both the best" I told him.
"I thought I was the best"
I looked at Cody.
"You're my favorite" I corrected.
He took a sip of his coffee before biting his sandwich.
"Here you go Maddy"
"Thank you" I replied as Andi handed me my toast.
"No problem"
I took a seat next to Cody and took a bite of the avocado toast.
"Are you two doing anything today?"
Cody shook his head.
"We've got nothing planned" I replied.
The twins had class, and after they had a team meeting/dinner. Mom worked, and Mike (my stepdad) was working on a case.
"Did you need the place?"
Chris chuckled and looked at Andi who smiled before shaking her head at him.
"No, we were hoping we could talk with you"
Cody raised an eyebrow.
"Me?"
They nodded and he glanced at me.
"Maddy can stay"
He slowly nodded.
"Well what is it?"
Chris smiled and scratched his bearded jaw before looking at Andi who laughed.
"I'll tell him then"
The smile on Chris' face got bigger when she placed her hand on her stomach and looked at Cody.
"I'm pregnant"
Cody sighed of relief.
"I thought you two were kicking me out"
Chris laughed and I stood up. Making my way around, I opened my arms.
"You're going to be a dad" I squealed.
He nodded and squeezed me.
"I have low key been an emotional mess since I found out"
I laughed and kissed his cheek.
"You're going to be a great father Chris" I told him.
Letting go of him, I walked over to Andi and hugged her again.
"How far along are you?" I asked.
"I'm due in April"
Making her approximately 3 months pregnant. As I talked with Andi, Cody hugged Chris.
"You wouldnt mind if Andrea moved in, right?"
"No offense or anything, but she technically already lives here"
She laughed and nodded.
"I honestly do"
"Congrats" I said to her.
She smiled.
"What did your parents' have to say?"
I looked at Chris who nodded.
"My parents are thrilled"
"Is that why you were at your dad's today?" I asked.
Andi nodded.
"Yeah, we told him"
Chris chuckled.
"Her dad thought I was there to ask for her hand in marriage"
I don't think I have seen Chris smile this big, and the guy is always smiling. Congrats to them.
"Are you ready to have a kid Maddy?"
I smiled and shook my head.
"Not until I finish my career" I replied.
Andi laughed.
"I thought the same thing, and here I am. What do you think Cody?"
I looked at Cody who nervously scratched his neck and laughed.
"Uh, no comment"
"We're still young, we have time" I said.
Andi nodded.
"Get married before though"
We hadn't really talked about children or even marriaged because well we hadn't been going out that long.
"I'll keep that in mind" I stated.
I winked at Cody who smiled. He was it, I knew he was the guy I was going to marry and spend the rest of my life with.

Along the way, hopefully meeting new friends and learning some magic here and there. (Synopsis) Domhain - a world split between five nations and five unique magical gifts; home of elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls, and humans, each of them so different but in reality more alike than anyone would like to acknowledge. Twenty years ago, the humans, weakest of the five, secretly acquired powerful magic and set out for war. The united forces of the other nations stood no chance. Humanity prevailed, proving itself as the new leader of the modern world. Now, Domhain is at peace but tensions are rising again. The humans want more than their territory back. They want it all. And they want revenge. But this time, the elves hide a dark power, and will stop at nothing to wipe the humans off Domhain forever. War is inevitable. Thousands will die. And the power to stop it all falls into the hands of none other than a particularly tall fifteen-year-old elf orphan. Ever since he could remember, Ardan lived a normal, sheltered, life in an elven orphanage. On the day he's finally able to leave for good and start his independent life, something strange occurs. He is given a pill, a gift, that turns his life into a game with levels, quests, dungeons, and a... talking weapon? All of which are capable of transforming his body and the world around him. As if that weren’t enough, Ardan learns the orphanage has hidden natural magic from him, and the whole world is intertwined with it. More importantly, he, as an elf, has a particularly unique and powerful heritage. That heritage, along with the benefits of his new power makes him a target for the greed of many... With nothing but his friends and a incredibly smart sister, he is determined to find out what makes him so special. Who can he trust?
