Next Morning

I woke in the Baker guest bed room but the baby wasn't next to me.

I figured that her dad, aunt, or grandma got her.

I got up out the bed to get ready for school and to talk to my coach about joining the basketball team.

My outfit was just black jeans, a tupac graphic tee, and Nike slides.

I went downstairs and saw Cordelia with her dad who was walking around and rocking her a he fed her a bottle.

"Please don't spit up on my shirt this time, I like this one" He spoke to her in a sing song voice which she responded to in a giggle

"Is this what you two do in the mornings?" I chuckled
"Usually without interruption" Jordan jumped at the sound of my voice

"Shut up" I continued walking down the stairs
"You gonna be here for family dinner tonight?" He asked

"When am I not here?" I responded
"Right, um so what do you want to ask me about college?" He raised an eyebrow

"Since we have a daughter we'll have to be as close as possible" I said
"What does as close as possible to you?" He questioned

"Not necessarily the same state and city like San Diego and LA would work or California and Nevada or Washington, do you see where I'm going with this?" I explained

"I do, but what won't work?" He questioned again

"Things like California and Florida or Texas and New York are a no go, because then we wouldn't be able to see you that often and I want you to be in her life as much as possible" I finished but said something again before he could say anything else

"And before you say FaceTime I mean physically" I finished for real this time

"And I completely agree" I nodded
"Good because I did not have time for your stubbornness this morning" I sighed

"Me?! Stubborn?" I gasped
"Yes you, Jordan you're literally the definition of stubborn" I assured
"No I'm not, I'm the most unstubborn person ever" He said

"If you look up the word stubborn in the dictionary it'll literally have your face right there" I said
"Whatever" He muttered

"Oh I gotta go" I grabbed my keys
"Mom taking care of her?" Jordan asked

"Actually Ms. Grace asked for her so, if you're able to bring her on your way that'd be great" I gave a small smile

"Sure" He chuckled

At School

Jaylene had came and hugged me.

"Morning" She smiled happily
"It's just a good day to be happy" She sighed
"You're being weird right now" I chuckled
"I heard you're gonna talk to coach" She squealed

"Oh so that's what it is" I chuckled some more
"Seriously are you?!" She jumped up and down
"I am, that's where I was headed" I told her

"Hurry go!" She rushed me

In the coach's office

"Coach Faye" I greeted
"Holland" She smiled

"You back on the team yes or no?" She asked
"I'd like to" I stuttered a bit because I didn't expect that question
"Do you wanna be on the team?" She repeated

"Yes, of course but I assumed you'd wanna see me play" I said
"Pre pregnancy Holland was a baller and I assume pro pregnancy Holland is still a baller" She shrugged
