Collide-Justin Herbert-19

A/N I do not own or know the Chargers, Justin or any other real life person. This is all fantasy. Thank you

From the moment Sara arrived at her sister's house. It was chaos.

She didn't even have time to set her bags down before kids were tackling her and trying to get her attention. She gave them big hugs and then was passed around from family member to family member.

A mimosa was put in her hands at some point, (it was 11 am) her bags made it downstairs to her sleeping arrangements. It was all a blur, then she was at the kitchen counter while her family was arguing about going to Brent's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning later that night, which was news to Sara.

As much as she missed her family, she was worried about Justin, he hadn't spoken a word to her since Sunday before the game. That wasn't him at all, she knew the loss was hard on him, especially the ending. She tried to stay off Twitter, but she couldn't help but read some of the analysts' takes. (Which were bullshit)

"Sara, I wish you would have had one of us pick you up from the airport. You didn't need to take a taxi" her mother's voice broke her thoughts.

Her Uncle George cut in. "Well, now Sara is too good to be seen with us now. You know she's running around with all these plastic people. Matter of fact" He looked at Sara up close. "Is that a botox needle in your forehead?"

She frowned. Not even been here for an hour and was already getting teased. The whole group laughed while Aunt Willa chimed in. "Honestly Sara, if you get any plastic surgery I'd recommend chin lipo, although I must say you looked like you finally dropped the baby fat. We were all beginning to worry."

Brittany, Bouncing her baby bit back. "You were worried, for no reason." She looked at her baby sister. "Congratulations on the Fenty fashion show. We all look forward to seeing it on Amazon."

She was confused. "Well, I thought you guys would want to go. It's late January."

"Well it would be nice, but we can't get the time off."

Sara nodded. Looking over at her mom. "What about you and dad?"

Cathy smiled sadly. "Sorry sweetie I wish you had told me this a few months ago. I'd already booked my girls' cruise, and you know your father doesn't want to go to those things by himself."

"Yes, I don't think my brother would enjoy seeing his kid in lingerie. That's not a sight anyone would want to see, seriously Sara, how inappropriate." Aunt Willa took a swig of her champagne.

Now she was reminded why she never went home. Speaking of her dad. "Hey, where is dad? I haven't seen him."

Cathy shook her head. "I wish he would slow down. The whole plane ride here he was glued to his laptop."

"Surely his clients are on Holiday too. I'm sure they don't want to be speaking business all the time." Charles rolled his eyes and cut in "Unfortunately they all have the same mindset. Why do you think I never took a position with his company? I'd like to enjoy my kids and my life, thank you." He wrapped his arm around his wife, who smiled and kissed her husband.

The whole group awwwed. Sara smiled, wondering how Justin would be if he was here.

Kenzie began crying in Sara's arms, she took that as a sign to pass her to Alyssa for feeding, as soon as her arms were free Brittany passed her daughter Eliza to her, who for being almost a year old was a smiley and bubble child. She was pulling on her aunt's ponytail and giggling.

Alyssa rolled her eyes as she passed Kenzie for Sara to hold. "He's using Theo's playroom as an office. Seriously, even the week of Thanksgiving, he has a lead on some stock."

The group laughed as they watched the whole thing. Eventually, Cathy spoke. "Sara, so Friday night we need you to watch the kids."

Sara was playing with the baby's hands. "Why?"

"Well we are going to the Christmas market, and taking seven children would be a nightmare."

She was confused. "Well I can go, I love the Christmas market. I can ride the kiddie rides"

Katie cut in. "Well they have this couple thing that we are all doing, and since you're single…." She trailed off.

Of course, because Sara was single she couldn't be involved with any of the couple's stuff.

They were interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. Alyssa smiled. "Ryan and Michelle are here!"

Ryan was Brent's brother, he and his wife married the past April which the whole family attended. Sara's family was close, which meant that in- Laws were a part of the family as much as blood-relatives. Again she wondered how they would be with Justin in this scenario.

The entire family was welcoming to Harry. When he surprised Sara by showing up to Pittsburgh the family welcomed him with open arms. He charmed her mom and dad and acted like one of the siblings.

When it was revealed he cheated the whole family was in shock. Sara was in a dark funk and shut herself off from them. It was a defense mechanism. She didn't want the looks and words of pity, the whole speech of finding someone and 'there's one in this world for everyone' crap. Katie and Charles met in college, same with Scott and Brittany, Alyssa and Brent were together since middle school, only breaking up when he was drafted due to distance. It only lasted four months.

Then there was her. She had a boyfriend in high school, who laughed and discouraged her love of acting. She had some hookups in college. After fame she had an on/off relationship with a guitarist from an indie band. Her family majorly disapproved of him. Sara was ashamed to admit he treated her like crap. Now that she thought about it, she liked the fact that dating him made her a rebel of the family.

Once everyone greeted the newlyweds the conversation continued. Her dad had come into the kitchen finally and Sara greeted him with a hug and kiss."

"Missed you, Sare bear. You need to come around more often."

"Yeah we haven't seen you since April. Do you even like us?" Ryan laughed.

She smiled. "I've just been busy with everything."

Uncle George cut in. "Oh I'm sure Pilates and fancy lunches have kept you so busy."

Everyone laughed.

Sara wanted to just go home.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey you"

Justin turned around to find Kristen behind him, he was on his way to the film room after weight lifting. The overall mood was sour, the loss stung. As much as they tried to focus on the Holiday nothing seemed to cheer up the group. His mom and dad announced last minute they would be driving up Wednesday with Patrick so he wouldn't be alone.

"Hey! Aren't you supposed to be back home?"

She laughed. "Yes, but the campaigns are killing me. Besides, David is in town and that's all I really need. What about you?"

"My parents and Patrick are coming tomorrow so it will be nice to see them."

She smiled. "Oh how sweet! Mitch is probably busy with Med school, what about your girl?"

He smiled sadly. "She's with her family in Missouri."

Kristen made a sad face. "Oh I'm sorry, at least you will have your family. Trust me, Holidays suck when you're alone."

Justin laughed. "You don't have to tell me. I had one by myself. I was invited to join some teammates and their family but I feel bad intruding you know?"

She agreed. "Hey I have to go, but David and I are going to head to dinner later. Would you be down?

Justin shrugged. He could use the company. "Sure! It will be nice to catch up with another person from Oregon. Maybe he could give me the scoop on Patrick so I have something to tease him for."

Kristen laughed. "Sounds perfect! I'll text you the details."

They waved bye and went their separate ways.

Unaware that someone was watching.

From fansports.com

Taylor Biscotti confirms romance with Chargers QB Justin Herbert.

The two sports stars, who have been linked since 2021, were spotted at lunch near Herbert's home in Irvine, a fan tweeted seeing them, although they weren't sure it was Biscotti, she confirmed it by liking another twitter user's post defending the couple's relationship. Inside sources also say the two were spotted hanging out near SoFi stadium.

The tweet may have been unliked, but their romance is alive

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"GOAL! The Blues take an early lead!"Sara stood up from her seat in the St. Louis Blues private box and cheered along with the rest of her family.

It was early in the first period, the Wozniak family having their own separate box for the game.

Upon arrival, a couple of fans spotted her and asked for photos. She felt herself being recorded a couple of times when she was talking to her sisters.

During the break they showed her face on the jumbotron. She smiled and chugged her beer to the cheers of the fans.

Of course her Aunt Willa made some comment about being classy.

The suite provided an entire buffet for the family of the players. While everything looked really good Sara was on a strict diet, deciding to keep her calories to alcohol. She was trying not to be obvious in checking her phone to see if she had any calls or texts from Justin. So far nothing, and that worried her. This is the longest they hadn't spoken since they first met. She knew the loss was hard on him, but not enough to shut her out.

Katie's oldest son, Charlie kept begging her to play games on her phone, saying that the game was boring. Sara instead told him they could play I Spy instead. The last thing she needed was for a message to pop up and the almost seven year old to answer its or worse pick up a phone call. It has happened before.

Once the second period started, Katie yelled at him to play with his siblings, since the other cousins were too young. Sara was holding Kenzie once again, taking in the baby smell and soaking up the cuddles.

Alyssa sat next to her and smiled. "You're a natural, you know that?"

"Well I mean she is number seven, so I have had practice." They looked over at Brittany who was sipping water. "Is it just me or is she pregnant?" Sara laughed.

Alyssa joined in. "She hasn't had one sip of alcohol, and when I took out the breakfast spread she looked like she wanted to puke at the smell of the eggs."

"Watch I'm calling it, she's going to announce it at dinner Thursday." They both bet on it. Being close, they usually knew something was up with one sister before they could say it towards the family.

It shouldn't have surprised Sara when Alyssa spoke again. "So Katie told me when you had lunch in New York that you have a crush on this guy? Jake I believe?"

"I don't remember what I said to Katie, you know she blows everything out of proportion."

Alyssa rolled her eyes before pulling out her phone, after a few minutes. "Justin Herbert, he follows you on your private account"

Sara groaned. "He's a friend. I've only spoken to him once at Joe's wedding in July. Besides, I have friends that follow me on my account."

"How is he a friend if you have only spoken to him once?"

"He requested me, so ask him. I've gone with Joe and Alisha to Chargers games and he's good friends with them. So that is probably why." She was hoping her sister would drop it.

But of course she wasn't that lucky. "Come on Sara, he is just your type."

"He has a girlfriend." It was the only excuse to get her sister off of her back. It pissed her off to say it, but she had to do what she had to do.

That seemed to shut Alyssa up for a bit. "Sara, you need to get back out there, go on some dates. Maybe stay away from famous guys. Ooh maybe Brent could set you up with one of his teammates. How about one of the guys he used to be teammates with in Chicago? Or… you did say that you like-"

"Alyssa, stop please. I'm not concerned about finding someone right now, okay? I know when you all were my age you had rings on your finger. It's just not for me right now.

Alyssa studied her sister carefully. It was the way she spoke about this Justin character that raised her alarm bells. Katie had told her the same thing when they spoke on the phone. Their baby sister may be an amazing actress, but she wore her heart on her sleeve when it came to love. It was no different now, and when Alyssa and Katie researched him, they discovered he was dating a sports reporter. Leave it to Sara to fall in love with someone unavailable.

The topic was dropped as they enjoyed the rest of the game.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Table for three please, in the back." Justin smiled at the hostess and David and Kristen followed behind him.

It was nice to catch up with friends from Eugene, his only regret from his trip with Sara was that he didn't get a chance to Introduce her to any of his friends. Maybe one day that will change.

They were seated at a table with two chairs on one side and one on the other. David took the single seat, making Justin and Kristen sit next to each other. Justin was aloof, it was just a friend.

Too bad no one else saw it that way.

The waitress came over and smiled right away, recognizing Justin. She looked to be in high school and immediately glared at Kristen.

She took their drink and food orders, having been to this place frequently. When she walked away Kristen laughed. "Oh my god she thought you and I were together! I hope she doesn't spit in my food."

Justin was red. "Oh my god I'm so sorry, seriously I didn't mean for that to happen."

Kristen waved her hand. "It's fine, you should be used to it Mr. QB." David teased. "How does it feel to be getting all of the attention from the ladies now? I noticed Sara Wozniak follows you. She's one of the biggest actresses of our time."

Justin tried to play it off. "Yeah we met at Joe Grant's wedding in July. Only said a couple words to her."

David was looking at his phone. "Speaking of she's at the St. Louis Blues game. Her brother in law Brent Smith is a defenseman on the team."

It was like a light bulb went off in the blonde's head. Out of the corner of Justin's eye he saw her whip her head towards him. He knew it was coming.

"Justin. What does your girlfriend do in the entertainment industry?"

He was quiet for a moment. David was lost looking between the both of them. The conversation was on hold as the waitress came back with the food. Making sure to lay the niceness on thick with the athlete. Once she saw she was getting anything past the usual niceness, she huffed and walked away.

Normally someone would make a comment but there were other things to focus on. "So what exactly does your girlfriend do? I believe her name is Sara." Kristen leaned towards Justin with her head on her hand, she looked like a mom questioning her kid about something he did. "That is her name."

"And you said she is visiting family in St. Louis?" David was looking back and forth between the both of them, confused on what his girlfriend was getting at. "Kristen babe what-"

"I said she is in Missouri." Justin tried to be as vague as possible but unfortunately luck was not on his side.

"Justin, is Sara Wozniak your girlfriend?"

Justin was silent. He didn't know what to say, but silence meant conformation. "Kristen it's very private-"

She clapped her hands in happiness."no way! That's amazing!"

David's jaw was dropped. "Dude, do you realize how lucky you are? She was 2019 Maxim's hottest celebrity of the year!" Justin and Kristen glared at him. "One of my buddies told me" He defended.

"I loved her in Don't worry Darling. Did she really hook up with Harry Styles? I always thought it was PR?"

Justin was uncomfortable. "I don't know, it's not something I want to talk about with her."

David and Kristen dropped that subject sensing how pissy he was. "But seriously, how did you even meet?"

He felt like he had told this story a million times. "At Joe Grant's wedding in July. We just hit it off."

"I follow her on social media and she's hilarious, and so sweet. She is very involved with Charities and will help anyone. Never heard of a bad experience with her." Kristen smiled. "How have you guys managed to dodge cameras?"

"Well for starters you're the only one who knows outside of family that knows. Second, we don't go out in public, and I don't plan on it."

"No offense dude, you're dating one of the biggest stars of our time. If anyone close to her team knows eventually it's gonna come out. Not to mention if she has a movie coming out. Makes good PR."

Justin shook his head. "She would never, besides she had a movie premiere in October and nothing was said."

"At the end of the day celebrities are all about the image. It's up to her team to make the announcement when it would benefit their client."

Kristen, who sensed Justin was getting uncomfortable, decided to switch topics. As they spoke about Justin's family coming in for Thursday he was deep in thought.

Sara wasn't that type. Was she?"

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was cookie day.

The day before Thanksgiving everyone got together and made a shit ton of cookies. It was Sara's favorite thing about the Holidays. They made over 600 cookies, sugar, rainbow, chocolate chip, raspberry lemon, ricotta chocolate chip, ladyfingers, any kind you name it. They did it for all of the sisters' weddings. Over 400 made for the reception. They were handed out as gifts.

All of their friends appreciated the day. It was called Wozniak cookie factories. It was insane.

Alyssa's kitchen was a factory, mixers were going, a ton of baking sheets were spread out on her kitchen island. Sara was helping the kids at the dining room table decorate the ones that cooled off. Theo was on her hip. He had a meltdown over Brent leaving for a week road trip, the almost three year old not understanding that dad will be coming back.

Aunt Willia remarked as Theo was screaming. "Sara darling, if you ever get married do not marry an athlete."

Sara could only nod. Alyssa rolled her eyes.

Charlie and his younger brother Tristan were arguing over who's cookie was better. Sara and Katie had to step in. Mike was sitting in the living room on his phone, making a business deal for sure. Sara rolled her eyes. Leave it to her dad not to be involved with this.

Her sisters may have gotten used to it but she wasn't. He still managed to make time for the others as they grew up but when it came to her it was always work. She hated to see the cycle repeat with her nieces and nephews.

She set Theo down in his seat once he finally calmed down. Eliza was napping. Alyssa was feeding Kenzie. Tristan and Charlie were decorating while their sisters Samantha and Jessica were in the playpen as they were too young and their attention span was very short.

Sara was about to start with the turtle cookies. She was going to make a bunch for Justin but on cue she felt her phone buzz in her Jean pocket. She grabbed it to see Justin's name. It was the first time he reached out since Sunday. She looked around the kitchen. Everyone was occupied so she decided to go out the front door. Walking past her dad she told him "Hey dad my agent is calling I'll be right back. "

"Hmm hmm" was his only response as she closed the door behind her and stepped into the chilly evening. Making sure she walked a good distance so no one could hear her she picked up . "Well well Justin long time no speak"

She heard him sigh on the other end. "I know babe, I'm sorry. It's been a crazy couple of days."

She rolled her eyes. "So has mine, but I've texted you. You had me worried sick."

Silence. She knew that he knew he was in the wrong. After a moment he spoke. "I know there is no excuse. I'm sorry. I will make it up to you when you come home."

That made her feel better. "Patience baby, less than one week."

"I know Sara, I'm anxious because I miss you so much."

"I hate that you're celebrating Thanksgiving alone."

Justin laughed. "I actually have my family in town."

"Oh my god, how long are they in town!" Sara wanted to see his family and hoped they would stay in town til she arrived Monday.

"Pat is leaving Friday for his game. My parents are staying til Sunday."

"Damn I'm making cookies and I have like four plates to bring home."

Justin laughed. "Really? Is your family one of those holiday cookies obsessed?"

"Our record is 700." Justin let out a low whistle. "I can't imagine that."

"Yeah poor Alyssa's kitchen is going to be a huge mess."

"Speaking of your family, did you say anything about us?"

"No, and they have been questioning me because you follow my private social media. I told them you were just a friend and you have a girlfriend."

She heard him breathing a little heavier on the other side. "Really? How would you describe this girlfriend of mine?"

A blonde reporter, she thought bitterly before she spoke. "Well she is a brunette, who is stubborn and a total goober." Her and Justin shared a laugh. "Also the major plastic surgery she needs is a chip lipo."

"Wait what?" Justin was confused, this was supposed to be playfully and she just comes out of left field with this.

She didn't know why she said it, but her family tended to point out her insecurities and get under her skin. "My Aunt Willa said that if I get any plastic surgery it should be chin lipo. My uncle joked that I have botox."

"You're Aunt Willa sounds like a bitch." Sara laughed loudly. "Yep she is. I don't know why she always shows up to family events. She has her husband's family to go and bother but I guess they see through her bullshit."

They spoke for a little bit before she saw incoming texts asking where she went. She told Justin she loved him and missed him before sighing and walking back to the house.

When she walked back in, all eyes were on her "and just where have you been?" Her mother scolded like she was coming in late from curfew."

Sara was confused and looked at her dad, who was in the exact same spot on his computer. "Dad, I told you I had to step outside to take a phone call?"

"You never told me that." Anger bubbled up inside of her. "Yes I did, you just don't pay attention because of work, as usual."

Cathy interjected. "Your father works really hard. Remember how you grew up."

Of course Aunt Willa cut in. "Seriously Sara, why must you always start something on Holidays. If you were going to do this we might as well not want your presence."

Sara's eyes widened and she opened her mouth to say something but Scott, Brittany's husband cut in. "Hey guys we still got a bunch of cookies to make! We want to break the Wozniak family record! To the kitchen everyone!"

To avoid further confrontation everyone followed Scott's lead. Sara trailed behind. She turned around to give her dad one last glare. Of course his attention was still on the laptop.

It was going to be a long fucking weekend.

—-------------------------------------------------------------

Justin had just got home from Thanksgiving practice to the smell of a home cooked meal, something he hadn't had since Sara left. He walked into the kitchen to be greeted by his mother and father, as well as Patrick. His mom was checking on the small turkey he bought from the store last minute. Usually if his family wasn't in town he would just go by a teammate's house. But this was much nicer, he was around people he was comfortable with. It was times like this he really missed Sara. He loved how well she fit in with his family.

Yesterday's conversation with David and Kristen was in his mind. Sometimes he forgot that she was a huge celebrity.

It's not up to her when her PR releases info.

He was a private person, the less people knew about him the better. So if this relationship were to be exposed. People would want to know everything about him, his family, friends, and people he was romantically involved with. He didn't want that at all.

He had to push that off to the side before he gave himself a panic attack.

Patrick and his dad began talking to him about the Lions-Bills game that was on and that occupied him, as well as the video review he needed to watch.

He and Patrick were discussing the videos before Mitch called from New York. It was hard not seeing Mitch as often as he used to. He looked to him for advice considering he was the oldest and the wisest at life. Mitch wouldn't say that though, but it showed in his accomplishments.

They spoke with Mitch over facetime and then ate. His mom was one of the best cooks. After a few minutes of silence his father spoke. "So what is Sara doing with her family? She's from Pennsylvania isn't she?"

Justin shoved mashed potatoes in his mouth. "Yes, but she is in Missouri. Her brother in law plays for the St. Louis Blues, so the whole family is down there."

"She has nieces and nephews right?" Justin smiled. "Seven, and she thinks her sister is pregnant and going to announce."

Patrick shook his head. "Wow, that's a lot of kids. He looked at his mother, and he knew the look on his face. "Don't you start asking about grandkids."

Mark and Holly laughed. "I'm not. Not yet anyways."

Patrick laughed. "Don't come around with that energy. If you want grandkids you better pester Mitch and Isabella for that."

Holly laughed. "Once he graduates med school in a couple of years. Or.." She looked at Justin. Who wasn't paying attention until he felt all eyes on him. "What? Oh no mom don't start."

"I'm not starting anything, I'm just saying anything but you and Sara seem really serious."

"Oh Holly please, he's twenty four and they have only been seeing each other for less than a year. Give them time, plus he's 24 and focused on football, way too young to be talking kids and marriage."

Patrick spoke. "Wait, I thought you really liked Sara."

"Oh trust me I really do, I'm just saying it's too soon. Trust me I would love for all my sons' girlfriends to join the family one day. Just not today because I don't want to feel old and I'm not ready to be called Grandpa thank you very much."

Holly smiled. "It's not much, but I would like to be a grandmother in five years at least."

Justin smiled. "We will see about that. But I still think Mitch is your best bet."

Holly smiled into her wine.

—------------------------------‐—--‐—-----------------------

Dinner was delicious.

She had to admit her family knew how to cook. Thank God, because if Alyssa was left to fend for herself. It would be drastically different. Her dad carved the massive bird. The blessing was said and they all dug in. Sara made the mac n cheese and posted it to tiktok. Which it was social media approved thank you very much.

Before the meal Sara and her family posed for a united photo to post on Instagram. Of course her Uncle and Aunt had something to say.

Things had seemed to calm down since the dodged argument the previous day. Sara decided not to let their shitty comments bother her. She didn't want to be the trouble maker as her aunt called her.

Just a few more days she thought. I can do this.

The family launched into their plans for Friday. They had planned to make a whole day out of shopping and Christmas fun. Sara picked at her plate while they spoke of their couples fun date night.

"Sara?"

She looked up from her plate. "Yes?"

"We have enough bottles in the fridge, and we also wrote out their schedules for naps and stuff. Also Tristian and Charlie are to have no sugar." Katie stated.

Charles smiled. "Although you're their favorite aunt for a reason, so we don't expect you to follow that."

Sara smiled. "I am the fun one for a reason. Which reminds me, give me a list of all the things they want for Christmas that will piss you off so I know what to get them."

The whole group laughed. But it was short lived because of Aunt Willa.

"Well dear you know sweets aren't good for them. You don't want them to be chubby like you growing up. Also be careful about your plate, you don't want to setback your weight loss."

Everyone continued talking, oblivious to the direct insult at Sara. It was always like this, to avoid conflict. Which was easy for them because her insults weren't as rude to them as it was Sara.

She took another swig of her wine, reaching for the bottle again to pour herself a big glass. Of course Uncle George had to notice.

"Whoa we see Hollywood is turning you into an alcoholic. What's next, Coke?"

Sara laughed. "No Uncle George, if I ever wanted some though I could probably ask one of your law buddies."

That shut him up really quickly.

Cathy spoke up. "Oh my god, making all of those lady fingers yesterday reminds me of making them for all the weddings. Alyssa I can't believe yours was almost five years ago."

"It's been too long since we had a wedding." Scott sighed. "I must say the Wozniak's know how to throw a party." He looked at Sara. "I can't wait for it to be your turn. You always know how to get the party started."

"Yes we all know she had a lot of practice at UCLA while wasting it on that psychology degree." Willa stated.

"You know I also minored in Fine Arts too right?"

Ryan, Brent's brother cut in. "That's awesome though, hey I couldn't do that to save my life. Some people are good at science and some at arts. What makes the world go around" He smiled at Sara and she finally felt like someone was in her corner.

Mike cut in. "I don't think I'll ever have to worry about Sara bringing home a guy. She's learned her lessons from all the losers she's dated. She's perfectly happy being on her own."

Well fuck you dad.

"Well when Sara does get married, it's going to be a beautiful lavish affair. It's going to be full of celebrities. Oh Sara, please invite Celine Dion!"

"Mom, I don't even know Celine Dion. I can't just ask her to come to my wedding."

"Less money I'm going to have to dish out." Mike muttered.

Sara stabbed at her salad. "Yeah you saved so much money for not paying for my college."

Willa stood up for her brother. "Can you blame him? You got lucky getting discovered with that show. Otherwise you'd be a secretary working for your dad's company."

Katie wanted to change topics. "So did I tell you that I signed Tristian up for flag football?" The group, eager to switch topics all were amazed by this fact. "Yes, he was watching the Steelers and wants to be like Kenny Pickett."

Charles looked at Sara. "Hey, you could get him a jersey and some tickets for Christmas."

Sara smiled and said she would do anything for her nieces and nephews. "I would love to. "

Brittany saw that her aunt was about to open her mouth again. "Scott and I have an announcement." She and her husband stood up. Katie, Alyssa, and Sara all looked at each other with knowing smiles on their faces. "Eliza will be a big sister in June!"

Everyone jumped up in happiness. Cathy cried, excited to be an eighth time grandmother. Sara hugged both Brittany and Scott. She knew that they wanted a big family and before Eliza they had two miscarriages that were hard on them. So they deserved this. The atmosphere changed to a lighter mood as they talked about the upcoming baby. They all had their predictions. (Mostly everyone thought it was a boy.)

They got through the rest of dinner and dessert. The family decided to have a game night while the kids fell asleep due to the food overload.

Sara had to admit she had a blast, her family was close and fun (when aunt Willa and uncle George weren't involved.)

It was a little past one am when they decided to turn in. Everyone once again brought up the fun day they had planned without her.

She headed downstairs and got ready for bed replaying the insults that Willa hurled at her. She understood that while her family would talk shit about their fathers sister. They allowed her to bully all of them and tolerate it because she was her dad's only relative. Why couldn't her mom's many siblings and their kids ever join them? At least they were more fun and didn't treat Sara like she was scum on the bottom of the shoe.

She messaged Justin that she hoped he had a good Thanksgiving with his family. He replied back which was shocking that he loved her and that he hoped that her family didn't put her down too much.

They went back and forth a few times before Sara fell asleep to get ready for the chaos of looking over seven kids by herself.

—----------------------------------------------------------------

Justin had to plan for Christmas.

His mother and father were out shopping, and it wasn't til they mentioned Christmas that he realized he was so far behind.

He usually only bought it for his parents and siblings, as well as the team. But this year he had a girl in his life, one that meant alot to him. So he wanted to make it special.

He did the basic decorating, he did have a tree. But he didn't put it up last year because of the little menace he called Nova kept trying to climb it.

He was on his laptop while the television was playing game footage.

He thought about what she would like. Jewelry? Perfume? Lingerie? Well let's face it, that would be for him.

He knew Sara didn't care about materialistic things but he wanted to get her some nice things. He tried to rack his brain for some designer brands she wore. There was Balmain? Michael Kors did a shoot for them so he knew of them. She did mention about working out, maybe he could get some Nike gear for her.

He knew she shared his love for Oregon and enjoyed her time there. So he racked his brain for an idea. He sat there staring off into space for a few minutes before an idea popped into his mind. He grabbed his phone and began to scroll through his contacts. It was a personal number used for special clients like Justin. He felt bad for using it the day after a Holiday, but once the guy picked up he assured him it was no big deal and that he could work on the piece ASAP. It was expensive, more than what he would usually spend on someone. But Sara was worth it.

He told the guy his idea and Tony said he would draw up some sketches and send them to him within a couple of days.

They hung up, Justin felt good and confident in this gift. It wasn't going to be her only one, but it was the most important and sentimental.

And while the thought of her overwhelming fame terrified him. He was going to push that aside.

—----------------------------------------------------------

Did Sara want kids? Yes.

Did she want a big family? Maybe, she always thought about three or four at the most?

Did she love and adore her nieces and nephews? Yes, she would take a bullet for them.

But damn was this overwhelming. She woke up to the family heading out the door while giving last minute instructions for the toddlers and baby. Tristian and Charlie, being five and older, just wanted to play video games, thankfully Katie packed their IPads. It's funny, because she swore her kids would never be IPad kids, but she sure as shit was thankful they had them

Their twin sisters Jessica and Samantha, were three and they demanded attention, as well as Theo. When he woke up he was asking for Brent and Sara had to remind him he was not home and wouldn't be for a week.

Insert chaos.

Theo went into a full meltdown, which in turn woke up his baby sister for a feeding, in turn Eliza was crying. Try feeding a six month old while trying to console a two year old. Then the twins needed food. She set everyone down at the table and had to yell at Tristian and Charlie to leave the electronics in the living room.

She took requests. The boys wanted eggs, while the twins wanted French toast. After placing a large order from the local breakfast house ( no way she was cooking) everyone was at the table eating while Sara fed and changed Kenzie and also spoon fed Eliza her baby food. She looked at the time on the stove and saw it was only 10am.

Once breakfast was done and trash was thrown out, in which she had to bribe Charlie to watch the kids for two minutes. Theo began asking for his dad once again. When she tried to distract the toddler she could see another meltdown forming so she got her phone to facetime Brent. She didn't know what his schedule was or where he was at but god she hoped he was paying attention to his phone.

She saw his face appear on the screen and she took a sigh of relief. "Hey Sara what is the matte-"

"Daddy!" Theo came running and she scooped him up on her lap so he could see. "Hey little man! What's up!"

Theo, expressed how much he missed him and Sara could see how much Brent softened seeing his son. It made her own heart melt. They all spoke and once it seemed Theo was satisfied, well falling asleep. Sara put him down for a nap as well as the twins. Kenzie was on the jungle map and the boys were occupied, so was Eliza.

"Why are you with all the kids?" Brent questioned. Sara rolled her eyes. "Because everyone else is having couple time."

"Why did Alyssa go?" Sara shook her head. "I guess she needed a break."

"That's not fair for them to ask you to watch seven children."

She nodded. "Yeah. But I don't get to spend much time with the little monsters so I guess I'll let it slide. But I'm not doing it next year when Brittany has her baby."

Brent laughed. "Yeah Alyssa told me. Who knows next year you can join us for our nights out."

Sara smiled. "We will see."

"Alyssa told me what happened at dinner with Aunt Willa. Forget about her, she is a bitch."

"Ooh Uncle Brent you swore!" Leave it to Tristan to walk in at the right Moment.

"You heard nothing from me kid if you want that hockey stick." That shut him up really quickly. He spoke once Sara gave him the nod the kid was out of the room. "But seriously, I don't understand why this family lets her be like that. She bullies everyone, but especially you."

"Trust me you have been in this family since middle school. You know everyone hates her, but she's my dad's only sibling and the only family he has left."

Brent shook his head. "Doesn't matter. She just turns good chaos into bad chaos."

Sara nodded. "Remember when you guys broke up while you were in Chicago? She was setting Alyssa up with every guy in the area"

Brent laughed. "Remember the look on her face when I showed up to her house after we got back together?"

They busted our laughing remembering that night a little too well. Sara wished him luck on his game and she would be watching along with Theo and the others.

When she hung up Eliza waddled over and did her grabby hands. Sara picked up and pestered her face with kisses. She felt her phone ring again and saw that it was Justin. Picking up she saw his face that he was confused that there was another face. "Um hi?"

"Hi honey." She smiled. She bounced Eliza on her lap. "This is my niece Eliza, she can keep a secret, don't worry. Can you say hi Liz?" The baby held up her hand and Justin smiled as he watched his girlfriend kiss the baby's chubby cheek. It gave him ideas.

"You look exhausted." She laughed. "Gee thanks"

"I'm serious babe. You lost some weight but you look malnourished."

She playfully glared at him. "You a doctor or something?" He gave her a 'are you serious' look and she laughed. "Have you eaten?" She looked at the time, it was 1pm . "No actually I haven't had a sip of water or a bite to eat! I've been looking after seven kids all day."

Justin shook his head. "Eat. Please. And have some water." He saw her set the phone down and get up and grab a bottle of water. Once she sat down she tried to set Eliza down but the she started to whine so Sara picked her back up. Once she unscrewed the water the baby tried to grab it from her hands. Sara held the water out of reach. He heard another baby voice. "Aunt Sasa I'm thirsty and he assumed she handed the bottle to the little kid. "See? No time for anything. If I tried to get some food right now they would be bothering me"

"I'm hungy!" She nodded. "Okay Theo what do you want? You want Dino nuggets?"

"Oh Aunt Sara do we have any leftover stuffing?" Before Justin could say anything Sara was surrounded by kids. "Look ill call you later" the phone went black before he could say anything.

Sara heard Kenzie crying and grabbed her from the playpen and quickly changed her. The twins woke up from their nap and wanted to dance so she put on Disney tunes and she bounced around with them while she prepared lunch. Eliza was clingy and wouldn't leave Sara's side, but then Jessica got jealous, and then Samantha was upset that her twin was getting attention.

Sara made a mental reminder not to watch all of them ever again.

Once lunch was taken care of. She set everyone down to watch a movie. While she was holding Kenzie (Eliza and the twins fell asleep.) Charlie sat next to Sara on the couch and cuddled up to her. While she loved everyone, she had a special bond with Charlie, he was the first born and was the center of Sara’s world until his siblings and other cousins came along. He was expected to go to the wayside while his other siblings needed more care. That was the downside of being the oldest. She supposed that was how Katie felt growing up. She knew he was jealous that the others were soaking up the attention. "You need to come around more often. I miss you."

She ruffled his hair. "I know kiddo, I'm sorry."

"Are you coming for Christmas?"

"I don't know yet, but I will be by you guys for your Birthday in June. I'll take you on a special day. Me and you, no pesky younger siblings and I'll get ya a little cake so you can blow out the candles by yourself." She whispered that last part. He smiled and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Aunt Sara?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you not have any kids?"

She laughed and ruffled his hair.

—----------------------------------------------------‐—---

The rest of the day went smoothly. She took everyone to the basement to play some kiddie games. She had made sure to tire them out so when the parents returned home everyone had bathe and was in their sleeping arrangements. "Holy cow, the house is clean, kids are sleeping and you're alive. You are too damn good. I'll pay you to move in with us." Charles said as everyone laughed.

"Yes its a shame she's wasting all of her fertile years." Uncle George remarked and as usual, the happy mood was spoiled by the drags of the family.

Sara got up from the couch and felt a little dizziness and realized again she hadn't eaten and had a few sips of water. "I need to eat something." She headed over to the kitchen and began to make a plate.

Her mother followed her while the others went upstairs. "Hey so your sisters and I are going shopping tomorrow. Come with us and we will have a girls day."

Sara put the leftovers in the microwave. "I'd like that."

"9am sharp." Her mom walked out.

"Love you too mom" She muttered.

—-------------------------------------------------------------

Your family really made you watch seven kids? All under the age if seven?" Justin was in awe as they spoke later in the night. She was in the bathroom sitting on the tubs edge.

He saw how tired she was and no matter how many times he tried to lecture her to get some sleep she kept telling him she wanted to talk to him and the lack of sleep was worth it.

"Fuck I can't wait to see you Monday" She breathed. "It's been too long,"

Justin smirked. "Baby we are not leaving the bedroom when I see you."

She groaned. "I'm going to suck you dry."

He moaned. "Baby please."

"I'll have a home cooked meal and dessert on my body for you to lick off when you win."

"Okay we need to stop before I need to jerk off. I don't want to ruin it."

"Ruin what?"

"The first time I nut in you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh please do not buy him that!" Katie protested as Sara threw the marshmallow launcher in the cart.

They had woken up and gotten breakfast before mani and pedis. They were now shopping up and down the major streets. A few fans approached her asking for pictures and autographs. She did ask a few not to record her family as they walked down the street and said that she was taking no more autographs and pictures. She was sure the video would end up on some social media platform.

The guys were home with the kids and Uncle George and Aunt Willa. It was her, her mom, and sisters. It was nice to have the girl time, something they hadn't had in a while.

Sara laughed. "Hey I'm not the favorite aunt for no reason. Any gifts my nephews want that would piss you off I'm for sure getting them."

Brittany was looking at the maternity section, despite already having a bunch of maternity clothes. Cathy and Sara were looking at Christmas decorations. "Oh Sara you should get these nutcrackers for your fireplace in the basement."

They were ugly but Sara didn't want to tell her mother that. "Yeah ill think about it."

"Oh my god I have the best idea! How about for Christmas we have it by you!" It took a moment for Sara to realize her mother was talking about her. "Wait what?"

Katie chimed in. "Ooh that would be amazing! Enjoying the sun, going somewhere warm instead of dealing with the snow."

"The best part is Aunt Willa wouldn't go because she hates California." The girls laughed. "Oh girls that is terrible." Cathy tried to scold.

Sara smiled. "Please mom, that was one of the reasons you even suggested it." Cathy smiled into her coffee and she knew she was right.

They continued with their shopping. All of then laughing and gossiping. "Oh Sara so while we were out I was talking to Trevor." The girls groaned. "Mom he's gay-" Cathy cut off Brittany. "There is a chance! You can't turn gay after having a fiance! He's probably just hurt and confused.

Sara rolled her eyes. "And I'm supposed to be his rebound savior, Gee thanks mom."

"You two would he cute together and you grew up together. He always liked you."

" that's why he was silent while his friends bullied me and tortured me in high school. Yeah okay."

Cathy sighed. "I wished you would let that go. Also I don't appreciate how you spoke with Aunt Willa. I'm just trying to keep the peace."

"By letting her walk all over everyone okay." She pushed the cart ahead. Not wanting to have this argument.

Still her mom pushed forward. "Sara I just want peace, and you always have to just start tension."

"Mom I don't want to talk about it. I promise I'll stay out of her way."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And she tried her best.

Saturday evening was okay. It seemed everyone was in good spirits and they devoured cookies and leftovers while watching Brent's team play in San Jose. They pointed out to Theo everytime they showed Brent on screen.

Afterwards Ryan and Sara were in the basement and taught Charlie and Tristian the basics of piano. The rest of the family joined and while Sara played, they sang Christmas carols

It was a good night. Everything was going well.

Until Sunday.

During breakfast. Sara noticed Aunt Willa was on the phone probably with her daughter Kelsi, who was just as spoiled as her mother. Willa was upset that Sara couldn't hook Kelsi up with a modeling gig. First of all, Kelsi was not up to industry standards. Second, Kelsi was a PR nightmare. Sara didn't even follow her on socials because of the downright offensive posts she would share.

It just wasn't worth it.

She was quiet the rest of breakfast. But she was going her passive aggressive sighs.

It wasn't til lunch when George and Willa mentioned Kelsi's name

"Kelsi is in jail."

There was a gasp among the room. Sara could only roll her eyes. It wasn't that much of a surprise. This wasn't her first run in with the law.

"What is she in jail for? And how much is bail?"

Aunt Willa sighed. "Well this isn't her first run in and it is aggravated assault. But I'm sure there was a good reason."

Another eye roll from Sara. Her father sighed. "Well tell me the amount and I'll send it to you."

Sara couldn't hold back. "You got to be fucking kidding me?"

Everyone looked over at her in shock. Mike was glaring at her. "Sara."

"I'm just saying. Uncle George was just bragging about that new yacht he bought. Surely he can put up the money."

It just wasn't worth it.

She was quiet the rest of breakfast. But she was going her passive aggressive sighs.

"Kelsi is in jail."

There was a gasp among the room. Sara could only roll her eyes. It wasn't that much of a surprise. This wasn't her first run in with the law.

Everyone looked over at her in shock. Mike was glaring at her. "Sara."

"I'm just saying. Uncle George was just bragging about that new yacht he bought. Surely he can put up the money."

She could have sworn Aunt Willa wanted to jump across the table and strangle her. "That's what family does. You wouldn't know the definition because you don't appreciate yours. After everything your father does for you."

"Oh yeah, I paid for my own education, and got my shit together. Unlike your daughter."

Willa slammed her hand on the table. "Oh you think you are so brave for some little gig you got. You'd be some poor little pauper if it wasn't for that."

Sara was pissed. "Why the fuck are you here? Every year you and Uncle George come here to cut everyone up. No one wants you here but they won't say it?"

Uncle George got involved. "You have some nerve little girl. My brother law did everything for you and you have a big mouth. If you were my kid I'd beat you black and blue."

Mike was silent during the whole exchange. Sara looked at him. "Come on dad I know she's your sister but she always does this! Cut everyone up and puts me down! For no reason!"

"Now listen you little bitch!" Cathy stood up, knocking over the glass. "Don't you call my child that you stupid little-"

Tristian walked up the yelling adults. "Uncle Brent told Aunt Sasa on the phone that Aunt Willa was a bitch.

Now shit hit the fan. Everyone started yelling. Sara began to walk away until Aunt Willa grabbed her wrist in front of her brother. "I told your brother having you was a mistake. You should have followed through with your attempt in high school"

Tears stung her eyes. She looked over at her dad who didn't say anything. "Really dad? That was supposed to be confidential? Aren't you going to say anything?"

Mike clenched his jaw. "You shouldn't have started it."

Her jaw dropped. She knew her dad was a pushover, but for this?

"You know what Mike? Since you never were around while I was growing up. You won't be around to see me get older either. Just forget about me." She ran downstairs and grabbed her bags. She did a quick search for everything. Grabbing her phone she was thankful that there were many ubers out and about. Seeing one coming down the street on the map she came upstairs.

Cathy walked towards her. "Sara please your father."

"I don't want to hear it. You can forget Christmas. " Aunt Willa was behind her. "You should have shut your mouth little girl. You maybe a Hollywood big shot now but you are always a attention seeking snot nosed brat "

"Shut up Willa you bitch." Cathy's attention turned towards her sister in law. Sara took that as her chance to escape.

Running outside, she hopped into the uber. Thankfully he was an older man who didn't seem go care if she was famous or not.

Her sisters house faded away in the distance and Sara couldn't be more relieved. She was ready to get home and go to people who truly loved and cared about her.

Home to Justin.
