The Other Side *A Blake Griffin FanFic*

The Announcement

“Jada did it with Chris. I’ll be fine baby,” Brielle laughed. 

“As long as Jada is with you I won’t worry as much,” Blake said hearing a knock on the door. 

“How about you don’t worry at all and go get the door?” Brielle smirked up at him. 

“It’s my job to worry,” Blake called on his way to answer the door.

Brielle shook her head and sighed. He was already driving her crazy. She was pregnant not sick. He didn’t like the idea of her going anywhere alone, he didn’t want her traveling east of Indiana for his games, if he had it his way she would have someone driving her everywhere instead of just driving herself. He was the definition of overprotective and she was about to lose it. 

Sure the paparazzi were going to have a field day once it became public she was pregnant which was going to have to happen sooner rather than later with the small bump she already had showing, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t handle it. 

Hearing Marieka’s laugh she was broken out of her thoughts. 

“Hey you,” Marieka smiled wrapping Brielle up in a hug.

“How are you?” Brielle smiled. 

“Good. Need any help?” Marieka asked looking around at the food. 

“No. Everything is done,” Brielle shrugged. 

Marieka was getting ready to say something else when the doorbell rang again.

“I better go get that. I’m pretty sure Blake and Taylor went downstairs,” Marieka said turning and walking out of the kitchen. 

Before Brielle knew it the house was full of their family and friends. Gail and Tommy had arrived after Taylor and Marieka. After that Blake’s teammates and their significant others all seemed to arrive at almost the same time. 

All of the guys had gone downstairs and were playing around in the man cave while the girls were all upstairs talking about wedding plans. Dinner was finally done and Brielle sent Blake a text letting him know it was time to eat. Blake had made sure that his parents and his brother and sister in law were the first to make it through the food line and into the dining room. 

Brielle smiled over at Blake hearing the scrams from both Marieka and Gail once they had seen the announcement. 

“What are they yelling about?” Jada asked confused looking over at Blake.

Blake shrugged as Brielle hid a laugh. One by one the couples made it into the dining room and the girls all had similar reactions. 

“Ready?” Blake asked grabbing his plate off the counter and looking down at Brielle. 

“Yeah,” Brielle smiled grabbing her plate and leading them into the dining room to join everyone.
