The Not so Big Mistake
Chapter 3
`Amy sat down in the stands behind the penguins bench, she took a deep breathe too calm herself. That went horrible. She come here to do the right thing and then got shit for it, fuck him. Taking a deep breath and looking `Amy was trying to decide what to do next, payback. What to do what to do, `Amy was thinking of ways to make Sidney’s life miserable or at least throw him off his game. The best thing she could think of at the time was to steal his phone and get his mom’s number and use that leverage against him. She just wanted him to listen to her. He doesn’t even know what she was going through, it seemed like he only care for himself. What happened to the guy everyone said was great and cared for everyone? After think about it for a few minutes she realized he put her into the slut category and that didn’t suit her at all. She was going to fix that and when she did he’d feel like an asshole. Hmmm maybe Marc would help, that would be a good way to get his attention, and Marc seemed nice.
Getting her cell out of her back she called the OB to get that test he wanted to do since Sidney didn’t believe her. The appointment was made for today at 4:30 and this would be settled, well in about five days because that’s how long it takes to get the results, but `Amy would still be right. Putting her cell away she reaching into her back she pulled out a textbook, she just decided that the class she was going to have a quiz next week.
She looked up from her textbook for a minute and thought about what went down for a moment, and realize maybe he just needs time to get used to the idea of being a father. Yeah that’s a good thought a safe thought, looking back down at the textbook she started to come up with questions.
He looked up into the stands to see, what’s her name again...? Oh yeah `Amy, she was watching the practice with little interest. Wait did she just… well fuck she took out a book and was now reading, nobody every reads here. Who does she think she is? He became pissed off this girl was not going to be easy to handle, she didn’t even back down when he asked her for a DNA test, what the fuck is up with that.
“Crosby, pay attention, let’s go,” hit coach yelled at him.
This problem will have to be fixed later, can’t let it interfere with the game that would be stupid. The team headed to the locker room to get cleaned up, everyone was anxious they all knew that another fight was about to happen. The mood in the locker room was somber, they team filled in Coach Bylsma about what happened and he too was curious about what would happen next. Everyone watched as `Amy walked into the locker room and took a seat next to Fleury and look down at her lap where her hands were clasped.
Taking a few noticeable breaths she looked up she saw that everyone was looking at her everyone but Sidney who wasn’t out of the shower yet. She turned to Marc and said, “I could really use an ally do you think that maybe, you could help me out. Please?”
He looked her up and down before saying “I’m not sure I can. I’ve known Sid a lot longer than you and well you could just be after his money.”
“This again I think I may need to show ya’ll my paycheck because I don’t need anyone’s help in that area, I am just trying to the right thing for my baby. No one seems to realize this, everyone in this room is extremely jaded I’m finding out.” `Amy paused before looking at everyone a adding “not that I don’t blame anyone of you because I saw the fan club outside and those girls were pushing the kids out of there way to get to you. Which by the way was is a real dick move or is it bitch because they don’t have dicks. Either way those kids just wanted to meet their hero’s and I noticed a few of you guys overlooking them for those uhh ladies. So actually who really is at fault here, hmm?”
That got all of the guys in the room thinking. What this girl was saying was true, and they all felt like shit for it. They also then realized that maybe they should give this `Amy a chance, she hasn’t done anything worth not believing just yet.
“Now all I’m asking for is a chance to prove myself. Please,” she made this request while looking at them all. “This is going to be the last time I ask because I won’t beg, I’m doing this with or with out your help,” there was finality in that last comment one that anyone could tell was true.
“Now where is he,” giving everyone a small smile she looked at them expectantly.
“Shower,” someone said but `Amy didn’t catch who. “Okay thanks.”
Getting up she moved to go towards the shower to talk to Sidney, when Marc grasped her arm as she walked past him. “I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt if you lying I will ruin you do you understand me?” `Amy nodded her head to show him she understood and gave him a shy smile before resuming her path to the showers. Just as `Amy shut the door and walked into the shower room, Sid stepped out of the stall and she remembered why that night happened.
He had a towel wrapped around his waist and there was water droplets rolling down his skin, which had a golden tint to it. His black hair is wet and falling into his eyes that gave him a sexy boyish look. `Amy wanted to take that towel off of him and show him what he missed when he took off before she woke up that one night. That one night now she was pissed at him all over again how dare he look sexy coming out of the shower when she’s mad at him. He must have caught her staring at him because he now had an obnoxious smirk on his face, the asshole.
“So you need to get dressed we have an appointment at 4:30, for that DNA test apparently there’s a new test that is non-invasive. Besides I don’t want to have to deal with you saying it’s not yours for the next few months and this will end it.”
He just stared at me for a while and that smirk slowly fell from his face, much to my satisfaction. He collected himself before saying “wow that was quick,” he said that more to himself than to `Amy. Maybe she isn’t lying this doesn’t seem like she is and this just to efficient, she didn’t fight the thought of a DNA test just when it would happen.
“Uhh okay, so when will the results come in?” “They said about five business days.” They were both quite for a bit, thinking about the enormity of the test later that day. “Umm well I’m going to leave so you can get dressed, here’s the address to the clinic and if you want you can bring a uh wingman if you will. But right now I’m hungry and when the beast calls to these days I have to feed it.” She gave him a one last look before heading towards the door.
“Please don’t be late I do have other things to do today like make up a quiz and do some research I don’t need to put that stuff off.”
“You know you’re a bitch right?” He looked angry now.
“No I’m not a bitch, I have a job that isn’t playing a game one that if I don’t give them results fast I lose my job to someone else,” her anger finally showing in her voice.
“Ahh look the ice queen finally gets angry, are we a little resentful that I finally got you to feel emotion,” he smiled smugly.
“I can’t wait to wipe that smile off your face and when I do I will do a ‘I’m the winner and you’re a loser dance’ everywhere in front of anyone and where. Get ready because you’re about to have to grow and face the facts. You’re going to be a FATHER!” With that last statement `Amy walk out towards the door and pulled it open, where she found all of the Penguins listening in at the door. They all looked guilty.
`Amy gave them a weak smile and kept walking all the way to her car. When she got in she pressed her head against the steering wheel and cried. She cried because he really hurt her with what he said, she cried for the baby that he did care about and finally she cried because she felt so alone. Having Beth and Aidan weren’t enough in this situation.
***Later that day***
The clinic felt cold and unyielding, there were so many people in here that just had nothing and they were trying to just live. This made `Amy’s problems seem obsolete and yet here she was wait for Sidney to get her to take a DNA test that she knew was going to say that he was the father. Lost in her own thoughts she didn’t notice when Sidney walked in with Marc or even when they sat down next her. Only when Sidney’s leg brushed against hers did she look up and see them.
“Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were here. Hi Marc,” she gave him a small smile. “Are you sure you want to go through with this, it will show I’m not he father I promise you that.”
He gave her a pitying look before adding on “I mean your only making a fool of your self.”
“Hey that was uncalled for,” Marc told him. The look she gave him said it all, that he was the biggest asshole douche-bag around and she wouldn’t mind if he jumped off a bridge.
She looked away, trying to control her anger and contempt before she said, “I will make a bet with you, if the DNA test comes back and you’re not the father you can oh I don’t know come by my work and ruin me for all I care, be creative on you end of the bet. But if you are the father, I want you to truly be a father to our child and also I want you to have a say in how I decorate the baby’s room and all that fun stuff. Sound like an even bet?”
He thought about it for a few minutes, this is a good bet at least for him it was a bit weighted in his favor but otherwise pretty fair. But was he willing to take the risk he did sleep with her three months ago and from what she said that’s about how far along she is.
Giving her a searching look he said, “Yeah I’ll take that bet, Marc you’re the witness and you get to make sure no one renegades on it.”
“Fine it’s settles then,” was all she said. They all sat in silence think about the bet and the baby. The poor baby was the reason for all of this and it wasn’t even its fault. The waiting room door opened and they called for `Amy and Sidney. All three of them walked to the door and down a whitewashed hallway to the examination room.
It didn’t take long for the doctor to come in and explain that while pregnant the mother’s blood has both her DNA and the babies. There was almost no risk to this while the other way to get the DNA of the baby poses the risk of a miscarriage.
The doctor asked `Amy to roll up her sleeve and tied a rubber thing to her arm. Lately she couldn’t look at blood without throwing up so she closed her eyes and looked away. Marc cam and sat by her and held her hand and murmured to her that everything was going to be all right. When she was done the doctor moved to Sid and she looked away again the blood was making her very queasy. When everything was all said and done the doctor said the blood test would be sent via email to them and if they had any questions to call him and he took his leave.
“Well I guess I’ll see you in five days,” `Amy said walking towards the door.
She turned back to say, “where do you want to meet to look at them.”
“Wait, what?”
“Well I thought we could look at them together, so that way we could discuss the results and the end of bet,” she said a little to innocently.
“Uhh how about back at the rink,” Marc inquired. “I mean it’s kinda neutral ground, it’s in the center of town so we can all get food afterwards and it has WIFI.”
“That sounds like a good idea, so we’re agreed the rink it is.” She looked at both of them before saying “well I have to go I have work to do, it was nice seeing you gentleman today.”
****Five days later****
Sitting down in the one of the benches in the locker room they pulled up the test results. They both took a deep breath and look at the DNA test and saw without a doubt that Sidney was indeed the father…
