The Secrets Within [ON HOLD]

Recap:

I get to my dressing room and stop when I see everyone crowding Willow. "What's going on?" I ask and they all look towards me.

Then Willow speaks up.

"I may have just booked you to sing the National Anthem at the send off World Cup game next week."

Present

Erin's POV:

"Alaina!" I shout as I grab our things, "You ready?"

"Ready Mama," she says running into the kitchen.

I look at her and my eyes soften when I see the jersey she's wearing. "Did you ask Uncle Henry to wear that?" I ask as I crouch in front of her.

"Yeah," she says with a bright smile.

"She begged with her puppy eyes and I couldn't say no," Henry says walking in.

I give him a small smile. "Why don't you go grab your bag Princess?" I ask and she nods with a wide smile then runs away.

I look at the back of the jersey, a twenty-three on it. "I tried," Henry says standing next to me.

"It's okay," I tell him and he gives me a look.

I sigh as he wraps his arms around me. "Why does Lanie have to love the team so much?" I ask Henry.

"Because her mama loved one of them and I think it rubbed off on her," Henry says making me smile.

"I'm ready Mama," Alaina says walking back into the kitchen with her small backpack.

"Ok, Princess, let's go," I say picking her up.

We make our way outside. Since we are at a hotel, there are a bunch of paparazzi. Jax makes his way to us with other body guards.

Alaina puts her head in my neck as we continue walking. Henry wraps his arm around us as we get to the car.

I put Alaina in her car seat and Henry gets in the drivers seat. I get in the passenger seat when Willow calls. "Hey, Willow. What's up?" I ask as Henry pulls out of the parking lot.

"When you get to the stadium, just follow Jax into the back parking lot," she says.

Jax is in a car in front of us with another car behind us with two body guards.

"Ok, will do, we'll be there soon," I say as the stadium comes into view.

"Great, they have reserved a box for me, you, Henry, and Alaina. Once you get here I'll meet you in the back parking lot. I will bring you where you need to get set up and Jax will bring Alaina and Henry to our reserved box."

"Sounds good Willow, we are actually pulling in right now," I say as we turn into the parking lot.

I hang up when Willow comes into view. I look in the back seat and see Alina with a big smile. Once we park Henry and I get out of the car. When I get to Alaina she squeals when she sees Willow.

"Auntie Low!" Lanie says excitingly as I hold her.

"Hello my little monster," Willow says with a smile as she takes Alaina into her arms.

"Hi, Henry," Willow says.

"Hey, Willow," he says and I look between them.

I roll my eyes as they stare at each other. "Okay, no more heart eyes," I say as I take Alaina from Willow.

Willow blushes and Henry looks down with a smile. "You are going with you're uncle until I'm finished, okay?" I tell my daughter.

"Okay, Mama. You singing?" Alaina asks me.
