We got there and The teams were warming up. We all got out of the car, I unhooked Ali and got her out of the car, and she stayed at my hip, as I help my dad get the stuff out of the back.

"Daddy" Ali said grabbibg on the back of my shirt.
"and what do you want" i said picking her up.
"can you come play with me."
"yeah baby"
We walked over to the blanket, and I layed down on my stomach, and shy layed beside me, She handed me a coloring book and some crayons.
"are we going to to do this again, I'm already better the you."

"He really good with her" My grandmother said.
"yeah, he is, I'm just worry when he goes back to Pittsburgh." My mom said
"why? he a good father."
"I know he is, It's just he all by himself and he got games, practices, medias stuff, autographs signing, appeavcnes. he can't take her every where, and I don't think he wants to take her to all that media stuff, who's he going to leave her with."
"I think he'll figure something, he's not going to keep her here during the season."
"Oh, i figured he wouldn't"
"he'll be fine, he a good dad."
"yeah,"
"Sidney" my mom said I looked at her, and she pointed to Ali, who was sound asleep. I bent down and cover her with her blanket, and kissed her on the forehead.

Chapter 3
I woke up the next morning, and I felt like crap. I had a huge headache. I went to the bathroom, then i went downstairs. I sat down in the living room with my eyes close and put my head back. I could hear Ali in the kitchen laughing and giggling. i heard her say I'm going to get daddy. she came running out of the kitchen. I picked up my head, and opened my eyes, and saw Ali coming out of the kitchen. She looked up.
"Daddy, your up" she said jumping up on the couch
"yeah, baby girl."
"you want some breakfast?"
"yeah, maybe a little."
"come on" she said grabbing my hand.
We walked into kitchen, Ali sat at the table. I sat on a stool at the counter, and put my head down.
"how you feeling" my dad asked me
"like crap"
"yeah. your mom told me you fot in kind of late."
"I didn't get in that late." I said

"Daddy, you can't color." Ali told me
"I'm better than you." i said
"no your not, I can stay inside the lines."
"hey, I haven't colored in forever."
"I'm still better" she said, she differnely has the competitive way like me.
I just laughed
It was getting late and I was doing the dishes, and I looked into the living room and Ali head kept dropping and she kept picking it up. I finish the dishes and went into the living room, and cleaned up her coloring things. then shut off the TV, and picked up Ali and took her to bed. I helped her get into her PJ's. I got her into bed, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and so did I.
I woke up about 3:00 am I went to bathroom and check on Ali and went back to bed watch some TV I felt my eyes getting heavy. I turned off the TV, and closed my eyes. Then I heard something it sounded like Ali yelling, I jumped up out of bed opened my door. She yelled Daddy. I ran into her room she was sitting on her bed crying. I picked her up.
"whats wrong" I asked
she just kept crying

"Daddy, are you crying?"
"yeah, sweetie." I hugged her "can you tell what it was about." she just ed pressed her face into my chest.
