    Summary

    "Being nervous just means you care, and that’s a good thing. It means you’re alive," Conrad said, his eyes filled with absolute certainty. "But once you step across that white line onto the field, the noise doesn't matter. You know exactly what to do. Your legs know what to do. Your hands know what to do. Just trust the work we put in."

    Jamie swallowed hard, his shoulders loosening just a fraction. "Even if I miss?"

    "Even if you miss three times in a row," Conrad said without a second of hesitation. "You're still the kid who went yard yesterday. And no matter what happens on that scoreboard, your mom, your sister, and I are going to be right here. I’m incredibly proud of you, slugger. You ready?"

    Jamie looked out at the diamond, then back at his dad. A small, brave smile finally broke through the nerves. He nodded, much more confidently this time. "Yeah. I'm ready."

    "Good." Conrad gave him a firm high-five that echoed inside the dugout, then clapped him on the back as Jamie stood up. "Go grab your bat. Let’s show them how it’s done."

     

    Or: 7-year-old Jamie plays his first baseball game.

    Summary

    “You have to stop looking at Cam like that.” Belly sighs, still holding his hand from when she pulled him into the mud room.

    “Like what?” Conrad mutters. He’s glancing over his shoulder back towards the living room.

    “Like you want him to disintegrate on the spot!”
    -----------------

    A conversation is had in the mudroom on the weekend of Belly and Conrads wedding.

    Summary

    "Hey," Conrad murmured.

    He reached out, his hand instantly finding the small of Belly's back, his thumb rubbing a soothing circle through her sundress. "You look incredible."

    "Hmmm," Belly said, her spatula hovering mid-air like a weapon. "Why do you look like you just committed a white-collar crime?"

    He sighed, "Don't scream."

    "That is the worst possible opening line. What did you do?"

    "I forgot the bouncy house," he whispered.

    Belly froze. The spatula slipped from her fingers, clattering onto the cutting board with a dull, tragic thud.

    "YOU WHAT?!"

     

    Conrad forgets to order the one thing his son requested for his 5th birthday; a bouncy house.
