Kris's P.O.V.

9:15 A.M.

"Are you sure that you want to continue?" Richard called out while I continued drinking water.

"Yes, it's been a full day since I passed out and all that stuff happened. I'm feeling quite good actually!" I exclaimed placing my water bottle on the ground. Walking over the treadmill, I placed my legs on the sides.

"Sprints. Thirty seconds on, ten second break. We will aim for five rounds." I nodded in confirmation keeping my eyes trained on the mirror in front of me.

"Go dad!" I saw Emma give me a small wave before running after Addison. Smirking I nod to Richard to begin.

"If you feel tired, lightheaded, dizzy or anything else, let me know and then we can stop."

"Sure thing." I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"Oh there's ten more push-ups." He smiled and wrote down another tally mark next to the other three. "Ready begin."

Here we go.

Sucking in one last breath, I stepped onto the treadmill and pumped my arms back and forth. 

"Ten second break." I automatically grabbed the side of the treadmill and planted my feet outside the moving track.

"Do we seriously have-"

"Go!" Richard barked out, interrupting my question. Holding back a scream, I placed my feet yet again on the treadmill and sprinted as fast as I could.

"Thank god." I panted as I saw Richard signal for a break. "How many more times do we have to do this?"

"Oh Kris that's funny. We aren't doing this, you are and I don't know three maybe four more?"

"That's not fair!" I pointed out, before clamping my hand over my mouth but it was too late.

"I guess another ten push-ups will help keep your mouth in check." I nodded my head making sure I wouldn't say anything stupid. "Great now your break is over princess, begin sprinting."

******************

"I'm dying. No wait I'm dead but it feels like I'm dying." I whined burying my head into Emma's stomach causing her to erupt into giggles.

"I feel like you shouldn't be able to complain." I raised my eyebrow at her as I buttoned up my jersey.

"And why would that be?"

"Because you've got abs at least. Look at my stomach, it's just a baby watermelon." Her blue eyes peering into mine as I doubled over laughing.

"Let me tell you something," I hoisted her up and planted her on my hip, "see how you are super duper young?" I waited until she nodded before continuing, "well that's just what happens when you are a kid, you've got a normal stomach. But when you begin to grow older and play a professional sport it's part of your job to maintain a good body." I grinned as Rizzo watched me walk over to Ross.

"Okay I understand. Well actually I don't so pretend I do." She confessed as I tapped David's shoulder.

"May I help either of you two?" He turned around holding his catching glove in his right hand.

"Actually yes you can. See I was just telling Emma how when you are a professional athlete you have to have a good body which includes abs." I poked Emma's stomach and she scrunched her nose up at me. "But the only person who is an exclusion of this, happens to be you. Because you are Grandpa Rossy." I heard Rizzo snort behind me as I ducked out of the way of Ross's swatting hand.

"How rude are you man?" He tried to yell but ended up laughing at the end. "Emma this is why all the ladies go for me and not him."

"Well, I think the only flaw in that statement is that I chose him and not you." She piped up before pretending to drop the mic.

"Okay! Who showed my daughter how to drop the mic?" I yelled out between laughs.

"He did!" I looked to my right and saw Javier and Addison pointing towards each other, both looking guilty.

"Sleep with one eye open. Both of you!" I threatened as I carried Emma back to my cubby and set her down on the chair.

"So how long until we go back home?" Emma asked as she placed my glove on her head.

"Well today we finish our series against the Nat's, so pretty soon sweetheart." I gently lifted the glove up without getting it stuck in her messy hair.

"Okay well hurry up with this game. Oh, we should get ice cream when you guys win!"

"Well..." I pretended to think about it, while staring at her pleading eyes. "I don't see why not?" I laughed as she clapped her hands together. "Be good for Jeff, I don't need another report of you drawing on his face if he falls asleep."

"Jeez that was one time Dad, but I will be. Now go kick some booty." She stood up on her tiptoes and hugged my torso.

"Will do. Have fun little cubby." I leaned down and kissed her head.

"Good luck papa cub!" She whispered as she let go of my waist. Walking backwards I continue waving until I hit the bottom of the dugout steps. Quickly turning around I sprint up the stairs and into the dugout.

"Feels good to play again right?" I turned my head and saw Maddon walking towards me.

"You got that right sir!" I pretended to bow, earning a small smack on my head.

"Make me proud Kris." He gave my back one last clap before I ran onto the field.

********************

"Took you long enough to shower and change!" Emma groaned as we walked out of the hotel hand in hand.

"Well pardon me, princess. I didn't mean to keep you waiting eleven minutes." I joked as I shortened my strides, after noticing she was jogging next to me.

"It's actually okay, I went on your phone and looked at the videos you took of Wrigley." She giggled and jumped up.

"Wait up!" We both stopped and turned around, watching Rizzo and Addison jog up behind us. "Now four's a party, am I right?" Addison joked as he waved down to Emma.

"I think six is a real party if I'm not lying." I felt Emma's hand tense up, as we all looked towards the new voice.

"Mike?" Rizzo exclaimed as he recognized who it was. Immediately I stepped in front of Emma, acting as a barrier from Mike.

"Ah nice to see you guys again. Hi Emma darling, how are you?" His voice cooed out, causing my blood to boil.

"Don't you ever-" I began but quickly stopped talking as another male walked up right behind me and placed something cold on my neck.

"Easy there buddy, I really don't think that you want to finish that sentence, do you?" My eyes widened still staring directly at Mike but I gently shook my head.

"Just as I thought. Well I believe you told Joe that you guys would be back in an hour, so that leaves us roughly forty minutes before he realizes you aren't back. Now if you will be so kind please follow me, and try not to attract any attention to yourself. I don't think you will like the result." Mike grinned maniacally as he began walking down the sidewalk waving us along.

"Move!" I watched as Rizzo and Addison both began walking before I was pushed from behind. Quickly picking up Emma, I fell into step all of us looking at each other with helpless expressions.

"Sh, don't cry princess. I promise everything will be okay!" I whispered in Emma's ear before wiping the tears from her face.

I hope everything will be okay.
