Wes, present day

I’m not sure what I thought marriage to Carrie would be like, but I was fairly certain not much would change. For one, the guys all knew she was my lady. This was nothing different. We banged like crazy. Why should that change? She was cool, I was cool. We respected our schedules and responsibilities. She came to my games when she could and sat with the rest of the wives and girlfriends. Sometimes she even yelled at the other team, but mostly she hung out and watched.

Boy was I wrong.

Things changed.

Not life changes, mind you. Nope. Those stayed pretty much the same . . . with a generous amount of reassurance on my part. Nope, it was the baseball change I didn’t see coming.

My quiet lady turned into one of those crazed fans. Maybe I should have prepared for this. I knew she was a huge fan, but after she’d come to so many games and barely said a peep I just assumed she was a quiet fan.

Apparently she was on her best behavior and now that the rings were on, the beast was out.

“C’mon Ump! That was a strike all day long. Are you blind?” she yelled from directly behind us.

I could feel Daniel’s pissed-off look from a mile away. So the minute the inning ended in a fly ball, I pushed up my mask and glared, pointing at the dugout. “Can I speak with you?”

The crowd around her all looked up, waiting for her reaction. She scowled at me. “Fine.”

At the dugout I gave a wave to the security guy, Toni, to let him know Carrie was coming over. She leaned down, giving me a delicious view of her cleavage. “Yes, husband?”

“Can you lay off the insults for a few innings? Or games?”

She batted her lashes. “No. That umpire is giving them a box the size of a refrigerator.”

“Babe.” I pulled and adjusted my equipment until it gave me some breathing room. “I appreciate that you care. Really I do. But I don’t come into your O.R. and critique your nurses or anesthesiologists, so please don’t piss Daniel off any more than he already is.” I gave myself bonus points for calling up the O.R. analogy. Truth be told, she did let me come watch a surgery through a window a couple of weeks ago and it was so fucking cool, but I didn’t know anything about what she was doing, so there was nothing I could say other than, “Whoa.”

Carrie, on the other hand, knew as much about my profession as any of the guys on my team. It was different.

After a few minutes of making eyes at each other she sighed. “Fine. I will chill.”

Which was a relief to be sure, but I also felt a weird twinge of disappointment. I liked that she was so into the game. “Maybe only chill a little?”

Her grin lit up my whole fucking world. “I can do that.”

For the rest of the game she sat behind home plate cheering and only occasionally jeering when the call was really bad.
