"d wants you in his office," max said cracking open vanessa's door.
"okay, thanks max." vanessa put down her coffee and headed off to see what her boss had wanted. she opened the door to his office and sat down at the chair across from his desk.
"carr! nice to see you," he smiled.
"you as well, whats up?"
"i wanted to talk to you about something, i think you should know ahead of time."
"oh okay," vanessa was confused and slightly worried.
"i've been really thinking about the future of this team, and i think next year the team, and the fans might want to see you as their manager."
"like, just me?"
"yes," roberts sighed, "i believe that you have this kind of chemistry with the team that really carries on and off the field."
"so you want to retire?" he nodded.
"just think about it for a bit okay, let me know. i haven't told any of the boys so keep this to yourself."
"okay, thank you for telling me."
dave smiled and sent her off. as vanessa walked down the hall, she felt as she had one of the heaviest weights on her shoulders. in the hall, she ran into trea, who quickly noticed that something was up.
"hey, you okay?"
"yeah, just have a lot to think about right now." she sighed.
"is everything good?"
"mhm,"
"can you maybe tell me what's going on?"
"no i cannot, if i could i would."
"why cant you?"
"not allowed to talk about it,"
"oh"
"you'll know soon."
"okay?"
"why are you up here anyways?"
"i came to find you so i could tell you that we were done with our drills."
"okay great. i was just coming down to check on you guys. there's pizza in the clubhouse."
"did you buy it?"
"of course i did,"
"you're the best."
"i know!"
trea placed a kiss on her cheek as he noticed that no one was around to see them. when they went back into the clubhouse, they saw that the rest of the team had already found the pizza.
"i see you guys have helped yourself." vanessa said looking at he boys with pizza shoved in their mouths.
"we figured it was for us." justin shrugged.
"how did the drills go?" she asked grabbing a slice from the table.
"good, i think" trayce replied.
"mookie robbed at least 4 balls." cody said looking at the boy who then smiled.
"good job mookie," vanessa gave him a high five "the cards should be here soon, so don't do anything stupid."

the game begins going fairly well, it was the bottom of the fourth with nobody out. trea stepped up to the plate as the rest of the dugout hung over the railing, including vanessa. first pitch, ball, second pitch, swing and a miss, second pitch, ball, third pitch, hit him right in the elbow.
"shit!" cody yelled watching trea quickly bend down and grab his arm.
"oh no." gavin said.
"trea!" vanessa stood right up from her slouched position. immediately, her and dave rushed out onto the field to check on their player.
"you okay turner?" roberts asked putting his hand on his back. trea pursed his lips and quickly nodded.
"hey, no your not." vanessa knelt down next to him.
"no i am, really." he began to pull off his gloves. underneath his elbow guard was a large discolored area.
"that doesn't look good, trea" she said pointing to the bruise.
"yeah i know. it's fine, please dont take me out. i can still play."
vanessa and dave both sighed, but they knew that trea would be upset if he didn't get to finish the game.
"fine, but if anything else goes wrong, you're done for the day." he nodded and took his base. vanessa put his things back in his cubby and wrote down some notes on her clipboard.
"is he okay?" asked max.
"i hope so," she sighed.
the game went on and trea managed to finish the game with two more hits. they won 3-2. after the game, trea and vanessa wanted to tell their friends about them. while everyone else was still hanging around the dugout, vanessa, trea, cody, mookie and gavin went into the clubhouse.
"what's up you two?" cody asked sitting down on the bench. vanessa and trea both smirked.
"we're dating!" vanessa said with a big smile.
"like officially?" gavin looked surprised.
"yep!" trea put his arm around vanessa.
"that's great! i'm happy for you guys!" mookie said with a grin across his face.
"that's amazing!" cody said high fiving trea.
"thank you guys," vanessa leaned her head on treas shoulder.
"are you guys going to go public at all?" mookie continued.
"we don't know, just gonna see how things play out." trea explained
"i think that's a good plan," gavin said with a nod. the three could tell that vanessa and trea wouldn't be very good at keeping things private between them. more so vanessa, who loved to be affectionate when she wanted to be. she really just wanted to show the world her relationship, especially since it was with the trea turner.

the next morning, cody walked into the stadium with the biggest smile across his face. it was his birthday, his favorite day of all the days. he poked his head into vanessa's office, to which she gave him a confused look.
"can i help you?" vanessa said typing on her laptop and not looking back up.
cody cleared his throat and waited for her to say something. after a minute of silence, he annoyingly sighed, "do you know what today is?"
vanessa shook her head and kept on her computer. she obviously knew that it was his birthday, but the team had something in mind.
"ugh." cody shut her door and ran downstairs to the locker room, where he found max, justin, and mookie getting ready to head to the cages. he smiled and threw his arms out, waiting for someone to pay attention to him. the three boys proceeded to ignore cody's entrance.
"helloooo?" he said looking around.
"hey cody." said mookie as he fixed his hat.
"does anyone know what today is for christ sake?"
"oh! happy birthday bro." max smiled, patting cody's shoulder as he walked past him. cody was shocked, as he had been talking about his birthday for the past two weeks.

of course there was something planned for cody. vanessa had invited the whole team over for a surprise party for cody. once everyone had arrived , it was just a matter of getting cody to vanessa's house. she pulled out her phone as she scrambled together some kind of excuse.
he answered, "something you wanna say?"
"wanna come over for a bit, i bought some drinks for us."
"you haven't even said happy birthday."
"yeah, i got you something. i'll give it to you if you come over. mookie and trea will be here."
"i don't want to. all of you guys have ignored me all day."
"please cody,"
"fine, i'll be there in 10."
"okay great! see you soon!" she smiled as she hung up the phone and gave the boys in her kitchen a thumbs up. her kitchen and living room was decorated head to toe with streamers and balloons. vanessa knew that that would be exactly what cody wanted for his birthday.
10 minutes later cody knocked on vanessa's door. the rest of the team hid behind the couch and counters, waiting to jump out.
"hey," vanessa opened the door, letting cody in.
"hi,"
"SURPRISE!!" the team jumped up and yelled "happy birthday!!"
the boy beamed as he saw the rest of the boys. he laughed at them for a moment.
"finally, i've been waiting for that," he chuckled. "thank you guys."
"of course, anything for our cody." vanessa laughed. she headed over to the cabnet and pulled out a bottle of whisky for him. "got this for you."
"thank you, i will be enjoying that shortly."
"you like whisky, cody?" chris asked.
"i'll drink anything." he poured himself a glass.
"i have more options if that's not your forte." vanessa said reaching for a few more bottles, that turned into more than a few very quickly.
"she's not playing." mookie laughed as she brought out the last bottle.
"never." vanessa pulled out her bottle opener. "have whatever you guys want."
she left the boys to talk and drink for a while as she met up with trea.
"nice little party you got here." he laughed.
"thanks, i try." she gazed over at the beer in his hand. "what number is that?"
"don't worry about it." he replied, putting his hand on her shoulder. "wanna get out of here?"
"this is my house, y'know."
"i mean like, out of the two rooms with the general populace."
she laughed, "i know what you meant." she took the beer out of his hand and took a sip herself. "sure." vanessa agreed and the two headed upstairs to her room, which was much quieter.
"hi," trea said as he stepped closer to vanessa, holding her face in his hand. then proceeding to press his lips against hers. she smiled and place her hands around his neck, bringing him down to her level.
the two made out for probably longer than they needed to, but, it was better than being cooped up downstairs with all those boys. and they continued as vanessa began to unbutton trea's shirt.
she let go of him for a moment, "remember that time you couldn't unbutton your shirt in philly, then i had to do it for you."
"shut up." he rolled his eyes at the smiling girl.
"make me." vanessa smirked. she knew what she was doing. of course she did, she was vanessa carr after all.
he grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her into him. with that, the door swung open to reveal chris and justin.
"wow okay! sorry!" chris said staring dead at the two. they definitely didn't expect to be interrupted, but they definitely should have.
"hi, guys!" vanessa said as she backed off her boyfriend. trying to act like nothing happened was not going to cut it, because stuff was definitely happening, and they saw.
"oh don't act stupid." trea snarked to vanessa, to which she shrugged.
"how long has this been.. you know what, nevermind." justin said reluctantly. he shut the door and went back downstairs with chris. trea raised an eyebrow at vanessa.
"they won't tell. right?" vanessa hoped.
"better hope so."
"we should go back downstairs," she suggested, "we're already batting zero here."
"alright, later." he pointed at her with a laugh. she smiled and nodded. trea began to button his shirt back up.
they headed back downstairs to see that no one had really noticed they were gone. perfect!
"cake anyone?" vanessa announced, heading to her fridge. she smiled and slid the cake out onto her counter. it read 'Here's your fucking cake you little shit'
the group laughed as they read the cake. "how sweet!" cody said giving vanessa a big hug. she pulled out some candles and a lighter from the drawer. she placed a few in the cake and the group began to sing to cody.
he blew out his candles, to which he got almost all of them, except for one. he kept trying to blow it out, but couldn't.
"what the fuck ness." he said, annoyed about the trick candle. she laughed at him, then so did the rest of the team.
"its not a trick, look." vanessa blew out the candle with ease. he flipped her off. cody grabbed a knife to start cutting his cake, but justin immediately took it out of his hand.
"you shouldn't be trusted with one of these," justin sighed. "ill cut, you sit." cody complied and sat down at the table.
the group was having a great time, especially cody. everyone was just hanging around and enjoying the delicious cake that vanessa had made. after a bit, cody and mookie pulled vanessa aside.
"whats up?" she asked as she took another bite of the cake in her hand.
"did he fucking eat you?" mookie asked, staring at her collarbone.
"hunh?" vanessa was confused.
"yeah, your boyfriend seems a little cannibalistic." cody added. vanessa turned around to look at herself in the mirror. her eyes widened as she saw the mark on her collarbone. she glided her fingers across the spot.
"that whore." she said, shocked. "i'm gonna fucking kill him."
"he didn't hold back, hunh." mookie said
"i love how this happened at MY birthday party." cody pointed out, as the mark was obviously recent.
"jesus christ, everyone saw that!" she said.
"you poor thing." mookie added.
"how am i gonna cover this, fuck." she continued to stare.
"have you tried the whisk?" cody asked.
"it doesn't work for me." vanessa sighed. "can you get him in here, please?" cody and mookie nodded and left to get their friend. after a minute, trea opened the door to the spare bedroom.
"you suck." she said, giving him an 'i hate you' look.
"says you." trea joked. unamused, vanessa slapped him across the face. harder than he would've anticipated. he grabbed his cheek, that was now slightly red "okay, sorry."
"you better be." she rolled her eyes. "why would you not tell me?"
"i didn't realize how bad it was," he laughed under his breath "just wear a normal shirt."
"i can't believe you."
"did you try the whisk?"
"it doesn't work for me."
"we'll you did it to me so."
"not where people can see!" she exclaimed.
"yeah, i change in the locker room all the time."
"yeah just turn around."
he sighed, "im sorry for leaving a hickey on your collar where people can see, but only when you wear tank tops."
"thank you." vanessa said, "now gimme that." she pulled the sweatshirt off of his shoulders.
"okay so people can't see you with a hickey, but they can see you in my sweatshirt." she nodded at his remark. "you're confusing."
"good," vanessa smiled, putting her arms through each sleeve.
the rest of the party went well. no one said anything about vanessa's hoodie, but everyone knew. it wasn't very hard to tell that there was something going on. after the party, everyone went home. vanessa sat on her couch watching chick flicks literally all night, enjoying the leftover cake.
