Chase Elliott is the hottest driver in NASCAR. He has collected 3 more championships after getting his first one in 2023. That's a total of 4 championships in 6 years. But he's not only a Nascar Champion, he's also a husband and a father. To him his...
"Come on little ones get in the Suburban. Time to head to the airport and then Texas." I yell to the kids who are gathered in the living room.
"Uncle Erik's baggage pick up is here." Erik jokes walking in the front door. "Wow sounded a lot better in my head."
"And taxi service." Ava yelled back at him.
"This one is Bryn's and my bag" I whispered to Erik passing my bag to him. "She still doesn't know we are vacationing in Daytona this week, only Ava."
"Ok. Ava come help me if you want a ride."
Ava skips out of the living room, passing Mason off to me and grabs the twins bag, Will's bag, and her own. While Erik grabbed Bryn's individual bag that she packed for this weekend, then the bag I packed for the week for the both of us, and then he grabbed Mason's, and the few extra bags we had.
"Thank you. We'll meet you at the airport." I help Erik and Ava out the door before yelling to Bryn. "Bryn, Love, come on, we're going to be late."
"I know, but I can't find my rings."
"What rings Bryn?"
"I'm sorry Chase, but I can't find my wedding ring and engagement ring. I set them down to change because you know I hate wearing them in the shower, but now they're gone. I don't know where they could have gone." She yelled from upstairs.
"I have them. I saw they were getting a bit dirty. I put them in a cup and put cleaner in it. I have them don't worry."
"Oh my gosh, Chase. You could have just told me rather than give me a heart attack. I didn't know if I lost them or if Mason grabbed them."
"Well sweetheart I have them. No need to worry, the twins are in the car and now we need to get in the car with the two youngest."
"I'm coming." She yells back before jogging down the stairs. She grabs Mason and I grab Will and we bring them out to the car.
"Ok is everyone buckled? Are we ok to leave?"
Everyone says yes and that was my cue to leave. By the time we get to the airport William and Erik were already there, waiting around on the runway.
"Chase you aren't one to be late." William tisks.
"Add a couple more kids to your family and we'll talk." I smile getting the boys out of the car.
"I mean the second is on his way, I think I'm good for now. But you guys keep making and adopting as many babies as possible."
"Yeah come on let's get going. The kids and I have a family tradition to keep up and we need to get to the track at a reasonable time."
"Ok let's head to Texas." Will yells boarding the plane with his family. With Erik and my family behind.
Will meets me at the door of the plane as everyone sat in their seats. "Is everything all set?"
"Yeah, I have her rings now and Ryan is getting the new one. And after the race we get on the plane and head to Miami. I've packed some dresses for Bryn and Ava packed some nicer clothes for them, so we can all look nice for that night. The hotel is all set and the restaurants reservations are all set."
"You're rambling Chase. Are you nervous? You have no reason to be nervous. You guys love each other. And you're already married."
"Recently Bryn and I have been fighting a lot again. My anger just gets the better of me and I treat her so horribly when something goes wrong."
"We can talk about this later. But stop thinking she hates you, for the love of god you two are made for each other."
When I get to the seat beside Bryn, she's on her phone. "You don't really have much scheduled Saturday maybe we can leave the kids and find something to do?" She suggests.
"I would love that." She smiles before shutting her phone down and cuddling into the side of me.
I had Mason in my arms and grabbed the Dokatot by my feet before putting Mason in it. I get him comfortable and then I get comfortable. When I'm finally done I hear a camera click and look to see Bryn with her phone out.

"I love you Chase."
"I love you too, no matter how much we fight, in the end I'll always love you."
She smiles up at me before cuddling back into my side. Bryn and I both fall asleep for the plane ride and get woken by Will after we had landed.
"Daddy, mommy, wake up. We're in Texas!"
"We are? Already. We must have fallen asleep, were you good to uncle Erik and Will?" Bryn asks as she stretches before standing.
"Yeah, Everly and I watched a movie." Will smiles before I hand Bryn Mason and then pick Will up. We make sure we have everything and then leave the plane.
"I got all your bags again and I'll take Ava with me. We'll meet you at the track. Pick something up for dinner." Erik yells while lifting our last bag in his rental car.
"Wow awfully demanding are we?"
"I'll leave your bags then." He starts to take the bags out.
"Erik, just take them. We'll get something." Bryn sighs. "You two definitely act like a married couple."
"He is your our husband."
She rolls her eyes and finishes buckling in Mason before jumping in the rental car herself.
We leave the parking lot and talk about what we should get for dinner. After a few minutes and Bryn's amazing searching skills we decide on pizza, which is what we usually get anyways. We stop at a little pizza place just a couple minutes before the track and buy two pizzas before meeting Erik and Ava at the motor coach.
"Yay, they did get pizza." Ava cheers after we walk in the coach.
"Yes, now come help get your brothers situated. Then we can eat."
I took Mason to his portable crib, since he had fallen asleep in the car, while Ava and Erik help Bryn set the twins and Will at the table before we served out the food and turned on Ava's pick for movie night.
"So how are you and Erin." I ask Erik after sitting on one of the couches with Bryn while Erik sat on the other one.
"We're doing great. She's great. I'm glad Ryan let me ask her on a date."
"Well we're happy for you."
We continue small conversations through out the movie and enjoy the time we get to spend together as a family. Being such a big family we try our best to always have a family meal or family night, but some days it's hard to get everyone together. But we make the most out of the few times we do get to spend together.
