The first thing I did when Luke and I landed was call my dad to tell him the we landed and we were about to meet Uncle Mike. As Luke was off to grab the luggage.

"HEY ROSIE! TURN AROUND!" I hear behind me as I'm turning around.

I come face to face with Uncle Mike, I give him the biggest hug I could. I dropped my crutches...oops... and Luke just strolls up with our luggage and was like "Hey Coach K! It's great to see you!"

Luke has this big, goofy grin on his face. It's adorable! And yes, Coach K the famous Duke basketball coach is my uncle Mike. My mom is Coach K's little sister. Soooo yea, that's my life...

"Hey Luke, I hope you've been practicing over you summer break cause the guys have been begging me to get you back and I can tell it will be a hard season this year." Uncle Mike says smiling.

"I have sir, if I didn't Ace here would have yelled at me" Luke says looking at me and I just give him this look that says "duh".

"I only did it once cause you were sitting on your ass!" I say giving him a look that he knows all too well.

"Luke do you need help with the luggage? I can help you bring it out. And before I forget the team wants to have a team dinner tomorrow so that you all can get close and work like a well oiled machine." Uncle Mike says smiling and taking some luggage from Luke and making sure that they didn't lost me in the crowd.

"Ok thank you for telling me, sir. Where is the team dinner going to be?" Luke asks trying to hide his smile as I make faces at him.

"It will be at my house the team can meet my wife and my beautiful niece!" Uncle Mike says smiling innocently at me and I give him the dirtiest look I could muster.

"Are you serious?!?!? I want to watch games not meet the team." I say starting to get upset by this new information.  I like basketball, but I didn't want to meet the team!

"Ash, honey if you meet the team, you can help me coach like you used to. Remember that hun. And your physical therapist is the same one the boys use so it is easier to just meet the team ok. If they do anything to hurt you, you tell me immediately and they will do sprints until they puke." Uncle Mike says growing serious and giving me a look that says " you won't win".

"I suppose it would be easier then." I say giving in.

"All them boys have to meet a high standard if they want to be with Ace here. I know I meet those standards for 2 and a half years." Luke says winking at me.

"Ok hun, let's get going. Luke, come on! We have to go!" Uncle Mike says to Luke and I as we leave the airport.

After we get the luggage in Uncle Mike's car, I have quite the struggle trying to get in there but Luke helps me.

"Duke, here I come. I hope your ready because I'm not" I say under my breath as Uncle Mike pulls out of the airport.
