They both just stared at the computer and in silence stretched on neither of them moving. `Amy was just waiting to hear what Sidney had to say, she already knew what the results were going to say, but Sidney was in denial. He was still in denial; he just kept looking and rereading the results. His mind was blank.

Little by little he started to think about what this meant how he was going to handle this situation. Can he hide the fact he impregnated some one? Should he tell his parents? How am I supposed to be a father? These questions kept racing through his mind and a few other questions went around his mind also. He shifted in his seat trying rather hoping that by doing this the answer to his questions would become clear to him. He put his head into his hand and to block out everything around him, he stayed like that for a while just thinking about that night and what was going through his head that he would forget to wear a condom.

He felt like such a fuckin’ idiot. Running his hands through his hair a few times, to try and clear his mind and say something to her. Running his hand through his hair he suddenly looked up at her and said, “so umm what do we do now?” He stood up after he said that and started pacing back and forth.

“Well I would like for you to come shopping with me... I know that I’m only three month along but I prefer to get everything together now while I can move without waddling.” She smiled a little bit when she said that, even though she was upset about the situation she was still happy. If a little bit discouraged because the father of her child had been acting like one himself.

“Okay we’ll do that, but I have practice soon, so if you don’t mind I’m going to get ready and I’ll text you when I’m done.”

“Yeah that’s a good plan and all but I still don’t have your number. So can I get yours or what,” `Amy gave him a small smile. “Oh yeah here is it.”

“Thanks.”

“Text me after your practice, bye.” `Amy walked out of the locker room and down the hall with her head low in disappointment. She was walking past the girlfriend and wife’s lounge when she walked into what felt like a brick wall, she felt herself falling backwards until strong arms wrapped themselves around her. Her eyes were closed because of how scared she was about hurting the baby.

“Hey it’s okay you can open your eyes, your okay,” the voice of the man who caught her said. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the man who saved her.

“Well hey there, aren’t you the girl who came into the locker room and yelled at our favorite Captain.”

“Uhh yeah that’s me,” she gave him a smile then said, “so are you going to let go of me.”

“Well if I do that you’ll fall to the ground and we’ll be right where we started,” he said on a laugh. “Fair point, so will you instead of just letting go of me will you help me stand and then let me go.”

“Well I’ll help you stand but I might not let you go.”

“So Jordan right,” he nodded to tell her she was right, “you are aware that I’m pregnant with your Captains baby, right.”

“Yea, but you look like you need a friend, so here I am your new friend.”

“Well new friend don’t you think you might piss off your old friend and Captain…” He looked at her for a second before saying, “fair enough so just friends then.”

“Okay sounds good now stand me up,” smiling at his antics when he dipped her lower before pulling her back into the standing position. “Wow, no wonder girls like you, you charmer,” there was a bit of sarcasm but mostly she was laughing.

Laughing for the first time in what felt like months, but in reality it had only been a week, since she told Sidney.

He gave her that crooked smile before glancing down and saying, “so can I get your number so we can hang and I can make you laugh some more?”

“Hmm since you made an enticing offer to make me laugh I guess I could give you my number.”

“Oh why thank you i guess I could give you mine too,” he said laughing. “Okay well bye I have to go get grade paper and go shopping for baby stuff.”

“Call me if you need anything,” he pulled her towards him and looked in to her eyes before repeating “anything.”

He then walked towards the locker room and disappeared and she turned around and walked out of Consol with a smile on her face.

***********

After she left he sat back down and trying to think but his mind was all over the place. He stood up and started to pace he barely noticed when Jordan Staal walked into the locker room. Jordan aka Gronk walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder.

“Hey Sid, you okay?”

“Do I look okay to you!!” He screamed before punching the wall in front of him. He was about to draw back and hit the wall again but Gronk pulled him away and put him in a headlock until he calmed down.

“Tell me what’s going on, right now. Why is the Captain of the team, mister I never lose my temper, going off like that?”

“How the hell would you feel if some girl you had sex with a girl you don’t even want to remember found you and told you she was pregnant and you are the father,” by the end he was yelling.

“Shit happens and yeah your right I would probably freak out but this is no way to take out your anger. You’re the Captain; try to focus on the game and not what’s happening around you.” He paused for a second before saying, “she told you because she wants you in her child’s life so help her out, it’s not like you have to marry her.”

Sidney calmed down enough to start putting on his gear. When he was done he headed out onto the ice, this was the one place where he always felt at home. It gave him time to think about what to do next.

`Amy was out at a baby store when she received a text;
Text: baby daddy
So are we still going shopping?

Reply:
Yea I’m already out.

Text: baby daddy Where are you??

Reply: Here’s the address, see you soon.

They spent the rest of the day picking out cribs, toys, clothes, and changing tables. The only difference between today and any other time they met was there was no fighting, hardly any talking other than ‘do you like this and what’s the price of that?’ Even though they didn’t talk about the situation that they were in exactly they did talk about the baby even if it was brief.

When they got done shopping they headed to `Amy’s SUV, she turned to him, waiting for him to finish putting everything into the SUV. He looked at her and he could tell she had a question so he waited for her to ask it.

“Can you help me put this stuff together, please,” she implored. “Yea I guess I could do that, I’ll bring some of the guys to help out.”

“Thank you!” She was smiling now “When can you come by?” He looked at her for a few moments. She was pretty when she smiled not drop dead gorgeous or anything like that but pretty. When she’s happy her eyes lit up and her smile could light a room.

Looking away from her for a few minutes he then said, “we’ll come by tomorrow, can I get your address.”

“Yeah here it is. Thank you so much, Aidan is away right now I need help, well help from of the variety male.” She had a grin on her face “that kind of don’t make sense but I think you get the picture.”

“Alright well I’ll see you tomorrow,” he was smirking when he said that and gave her a knowing look.

****Next day****

`Amy was cleaning up her house well actually the house she shared with her two best friends. Beth was helping with the clean up and Aidan was away working on geology stuff, stuff that `Amy should have been working on. But because of the situation now `Amy is stuck analyzing all of the data and teaching his classes along with her own. It bothered her a little bit that he got to have all of the fun but what she did know was she was going to get him back, with diaper duty. She laughed at her revenge and kept cleaning.

“Hey so I’m going to head out gotta get to work,” Beth called up to me. “Ahh can you please stay I need to have some girl support. Please, please.”

“Girl, I can’t stay I have work,” she looked at `Amy before saying, “Uhhgh don’t give me that look please don’t.”

“I really need some support please.”

“Listen I have to go in for a little while how about I come home early instead, sound fair. I just have to pick up some papers and give an hour lecture and I’ll be back, kay?”

“Yeah I guess that sounds fair.” Beth left and `Amy was left alone for the time being. She decided she was going to relax because she knew chaos was going to become her friend in a little while. She flipped on the TV and waited.

A knock sounded on the door and she got up a bit excited to see some of the baby’s room completed. She decided that she was going to ask them if it would paint the walls. She decide on light green walls one of the walls would be light brown to accent the room, in her opinion it was good for a boy or a girl. `Amy got up and walked over to the door and opened it.

She saw Sidney, Jordan, Kris and Marc-Andre, she smiled at them, “hey guys thanks for coming over and helping me out.”

“Yeah no worries,” Marc told her. “Hey so I was wondering if you guys could paint the room, I just decided on the color a few days ago and I just want the room completely done. I know I’m asking a lot but I would really appreciate it.”

“Yeah, that’s fine what colors did you choose?” Jordan asked her. “A pale Green for most of the walls and a light brown as an accent wall I think it will make the room happy. I can change it after the baby’s a little bit older, but for now I like the colors, they brighten up the room.”

“That sounds nice and I think you made a great choice in color, so show us to the room and we’ll get started.” Jordan told her with a gentle smile that made her smile back at him. To anyone that didn’t know that they were just friends they would assume that they are lovers of moving towards that.

At this point Sidney hadn’t said anything to her and that made her nervous. “Okay the rooms is the first one on the left, the baby furniture is still in the SUV I couldn’t lift it, well actually I’m not allowed to life it.”

She lead Marc and Kris to her SUV and they got everything out of the car and moved it up to the house while Sidney and Jordan went up to start painting. They got to work she watch some of the guys partially assemble the furniture it made her feel useless. She wasn’t used to not doing anything, being idle was not one of her strong points.

She pulled out her bag and started grading papers, the quiz she gave her classes earlier that week. About half through grading she got up to get herself water. She walked back to her chair to finish grading but before she could sit down the doorbell rang, so she went to answer it.

“Hi little girl, I’m looking for Sidney he said he would be here today,” she said with a nasty smile. She was tall with brown hair and probably the fakes pair of boobs `Amy had ever seen. Her eyes were ice cold blue and they stared at her like she nothing more than an inconvenience one that need to get out of her way. She spoke in a girly high-pitched tone one that made her seem childlike except for her ice the showed how mean she truly was.

“Uh yeah he’s helping me with the baby’s room I’ll go get him for you,” `Amy made to turn and get him but the woman grabbed her arm and turned her back towards her.

“Listen here you little bitch. He’s mine and I will not have you ruin what we have together. Your just a little whore that no one likes most especially Sidney, you may be pregnant with his brat but you will always be the tramp he slept with I on the other hand will always be with him. Got it?” She looked at `Amy and her grasp on `Amy’s arm tightened and it hurt a lot. She had wicked long nails and she used them like talons.

“Go get MY man, for me now little whore.” She let `Amy go and took a step into the room with a smug look on her face a knowing one she had one the first battle.

`Amy went up stairs and found Sidney “You have visitor I don’t know her name.” `Amy was rubbing her arm she could tell it was bleeding but she said nothing continued to stare at the room, they must have just finished it.

The room was beautiful; they had done a great job on it. “Thank you,” she said finally before Sidney left to down stairs, “this room is amazing just like how I envisioned it.”

“Yeah no problem,” Sidney said before going downstairs.

“Hey what’s wrong,” Jordan asked. She turned to him and smiled, “nothing at all I’m just tired pregnant women’s prerogative, yea know.”

“Yeah okay,” Jordan told her. “So lets get some food, I’ll make everyone some pasta.” They made there way down stairs and `Amy told everyone even the older woman she would make them pasta.

“Why are you here?” Sidney asked harshly. “Baby I missed you,” She cooed.

“Emily, you’re not helping me right now,” he stressed to her.

“But honey we’re dating and she’s having your baby we should learn to get along with each other. I’m not leaving any time soon,” she stated sweetly.

“Yeah your right okay baby keep her company,” he kissed her and then went to go hang with boys. She smiled to herself, he is so gullible sometimes, time to ruin her self-esteem, Emily decide to make it her mission. After everyone finished eating and got back to work the boys went up stairs to finish the room they took all of the furniture parts upstairs.

“So we meet again little whore and now it’s just you and me,” she said with nasty smile. “So where were we, oh yeah bitch he’s mine and you are going to rue the day you every got pregnant, just thought I’d give you a warning doll.”

“Yeah you’re just like so sweet and I can tell ‘cause you gave me a… A warning,” the sarcasm was oozing off of `Amy’s words. “You don’t scare me, and you never will.”

“Yeah you want to bet how about I push you down some steps and make you lose that brat of yours. Hmm that sound nice like a good plan maybe, yeah you know what that is a great plan. Watch your step little whore ’cause I’m comin after you.” Her eyes turned ice cold and there was pure hatred there. “Sidney honey,” She yelled up to him while looking at `Amy, “I’m leaving.”

He came down the stairs and pulled her into his arms. She must have said something because soon he was asking her what was wrong. `Amy heard her say

“That woman over there, she said horrible things to me then she hit me. I’m so scared.” `Amy’s mouth just dropped she did not just go there ohh the Bitch.

“It’s okay honey she won’t do that ever again, I’ll make sure of it.” He looked down at her and smiled “I promise,” he repeated. They went on holding each other for a while, that was when `Amy noticed the smug smile Emily was giving her.

Oh hell naw that bitch did not go there again `Amy was furious now.

“Hey honey how about you meet me at the house and I’ll take you our tonight.”

“Okay, you’re the best Sidney,” she said so sweetly it made `Amy sick. She left the room almost skipping in her happiness. As soon as she left the house the silence filled with tension.

“Who the hell do you think you are,” his tone was dangerous one that broached no argument. “That’s the person I’m with right now and if you want my help at all with your kid then your going to have to except that. By the way you ever hit her again then we’re going to press charges on you and take that kid away from you. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME.”

The last part he yelled at her. All of the guys listen to were listening to him yell at `Amy and they could tell she was trembling. “Get Out Of My House. Right Now!”

she said shaking now with the force of her anger. “How dare you even think something like that, you know what I don’t need your help at all go back to your bimbo I’ll let you know when I have MY baby.” She turned and walked away from him but not before saying “call me when you stop acting like Sid the Kid.”

`Amy walked past the guys and said “you guys are always welcome here and feel free to stay, I’ll be waiting for the 2 year old to go back to his play-thing, I mean that is what they call woman like her right.” She gave them a bitter smile before walking up the stairs. The room was very quite; no one moved for a few moments, they were all in shock of what just happened.

“I guess it’s time to go,” Sidney said walking to the door.

“Actually,” Kris said “it’s time for you to leave and the rest of to finish the baby’s room.” He walked upstairs; Jordan nodded his agreement and followed him upstairs.

“Sorry Sid but I agree with them, see you later,” Marc looked at him with pity then left him too.

“Well fuck all of you,” he muttered more to himself then anyone else and then he walked out of the house.
