“I’ll take the kids to the car.”

Fallon chewed on her lip as she nodded a thanks to her sister while she watched Aiden standing with the Bellevue folks. Her body was shaking, not only with nerves, but excitement. The Assassins were up by three, which should mean Lucas would be coming home for a good five days before the next series started, as long as they held the lead. She needed him, especially if this meeting of Aiden’s went well.

Which, by the look on Aiden’s face, was going great.

Damn it.

Tapping her foot to the ground, she tried to watch the game as the time trickled down, but she kept looking up, watching her baby as he nodded, a grin on his lips, looking way too big for her liking. He was going to go to college? At seventeen? What if he was bullied? Even she knew that was a dumb thought. He was built like the damn Jolly Green Giant, but still, they might make fun of his stupid hair. What if the coach didn’t want him because of it? Shit, should she have had him cut his hair?

Crap, her baby was growing up.

Would he live on campus? The guidance office had said he could graduate early with the advanced summer classes, and he was ready to do it. He was already reading the books for the class, fully expecting to get the offer from Bellevue. Meanwhile, Fallon was just trying to breathe. He was leaving her, her other three kids were driving her insane, and her husband was only home half the time, all while she was working a tough full-time job.

She must be crazy.

When Aiden looked up just as she did, her eyes widened as he motioned her over. Her heart stopped as she tucked her phone into her pocket and headed toward where he stood with an equally tall man in a Bellevue jacket. The man had a kind face and nice eyes, and if she remembered correctly, he was Baylor Sinclair’s father. But that didn’t matter at that moment. He was the man who was going to put her baby on his team.

At seventeen.

Holy shit.

Stopping beside her son, she tried to smile, but she was pretty sure she looked like she was about to fall into a heap of tears as Aiden said, “This is my mom, Fallon Brooks.”

“Mrs. Brooks, wonderful to meet you. I’m River Moore.”

She took his hand. “You as well. He played amazing tonight, didn’t he?”

“Has his daddy in him, through and through. I remember when Lucas was drafted and seeing him play then. It was after I retired, but I remember. And man, this boy is his daddy all over again.”

Fallon beamed. “We are very proud.”

“You should be.” His face broke into a grin. “Listen, we want him. He said he can graduate early, and if that’s the case, then we would like to offer him a full ride.”

Her stomach dropped.

But Aiden was bursting at the seams. “Full ride, Mom!”

“I heard. Wow. Okay, well, we’ll need to discuss this with his father.
