Colder than ice
Gold medal game and something more
This was it. After all those games we were going to the gold medal game against Russia. I sat in the hotel room trying to keep calm. I heard a knock on the door and jumped then walked to the door and opened it. Jon stood there with his derpy grin. "Hey babe." I said letting him in. When he sat on the edge of the bed I walked to him and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. I could do this without worrying that Charlotte would walk in cause she was hanging out with Sid. "I'll be at the game tonight. Sitting right behind the team bench." Jon said grinning. "Good just don't distract me." I said kissing him. He pulled me on the bed and had me so my back was on the bed and leaned over me and kissed me while I laughed. "I can distract you know right?" he said smiling. "Babe.... I need to get ready to go." I laughed while he kissed my neck. Jon let out a groan and let me up. "Hey. We can finish this tonight I promise." I said holding his hand in mine. He gave me the puppy dog eyes and a pouty lip, "Really? You promise?" I laughed and kissed him gently. "Yes I promise. I swear my life on it." I said kissing him again. I quickly glanced at the clock. "Shit babe I gotta go. Need to get there early so Doc can make sure I'm fine for the game." I said jumping off the bed and grabbing my stuff. Jon helped me get my stuff and I booked it for the rink.
Once I got to the rink I went straight to the med room. "Hey Doc." I said and placed my stuff next to the table then climbed on it. "Hey Amy. Everything feeling okay?" Doc said looking at me. "Yup. Not feeling any pain what so ever." I said happily. "Good good." Doc said checking my knee that had been injured earlier. "Alright everything looks good. Go get ready you got a big game tonight." he said as he finished checking me over.
As I got all my gear on the other girls came into the locker room. We just nodded at each other not saying anything. Once I got all ready I sat their in silence. This was it. This was the game we all had been looking forward to. This was the game that we all could prove to everyone we are the best. Coach came in and gave us the Herb Brooks speech which pumped us all up. When I got through the tunnel and saw the rink my heart skipped a beat. This was our time. I cheered on the girls as they skated onto the ice and got on myself after the goalie and heard cheering from the whole crowd. This was amazing.
I looked over at the bench and saw Jon there with Rose next to them. I gave them a quick wave and continued the warm up. Once we were done Charlotte, Kim, Jannie our goalie, Rachel and Danni the defense-men and I stayed on the ice as the national anthem was sang. After it was done I headed to the face off spot and got ready. The puck dropped and I won the face off and we were on.
After 12:30 o the period I got the puck from Kim and passed it to Charlotte who passed it back to me and I wristed it in making a goal. "Yeah baby!" I screamed celebrating the goal and saw Jon and Rose standing cheering. I pointed to them and smiled. I got to the next face off and got ready. I didn't win this one so while I was skating to try to block the puck from getting to one of the Russian players I felt the puck hit my neck. I fell to the ice and blacked out.
*Jon's P.O.V.*
I saw Amy hit the ice and I swear my heart stopped. I saw the team rush over to her and she wasn't moving. I had saw the puck hit her neck. Oh god.... I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to the side to see Rose with a worried look motioning to me to fallow her. We ran down to the USA's locker room and made our way to the med room. "Doc is she okay?" I asked seeing Amy motionless on the table. "No. She is breathing lightly, but I'm not sure about anything else." Doc said looking worried. Right then the paramedics came through and got her. "Can I come with?" I asked feeling like my life was so close to ending. "No." they said as they rushed off with Amy. Doc gave me the information of the hospital they were taking her to and I rushed out but Rose stayed behind to talk to Doc.
I stopped by a local grocery store and got a teddy bear for Amy and a bottle of vodka for me to chill me out. I got to the hospital and found out Amy's room. When I got there I teared up when I saw her motionless. I set the teddy bear next to her and sat next to the bed. I sat there and took a few swings of the vodka and put it down. A doctor walked in and saw me, "You must be Jonathan, Amy's fiance." I stood up and shook his hand, "Yeah. How is she?" The doctor grimaced. "She is stable but there's something you should know... Amy is 2 weeks pregnant." When he said that I felt my heart almost stop. So not only is my fiance's life in danger but so is my child's. The doctor must have known my pain as he put his hand on my shoulder. I sat down next to the bed again and felt tears fall down my face as I took more swings of the vodka.
After a few hours Rose and Pat came in the room and the bottle was pretty much empty. Pat must have saw that I was a wreck and came over to me and took the bottle. "Hey!" I said snapped at him and trying to grab it but almost fell on the floor. "You've had too much Tazer." he said as he helped me back up on the seat. Rose looked at me concerned and then made her way over to Amy and I saw a tear roll down her face. Pat and Rose stayed there with me for a couple of hours but left when the USA women's team got there.
"How is she?" Charlotte asked me. "Hasn't moved since. She's stable, but she's pregnant." i said still running it over in my head. Everyone's heads turned to me in shock, like they didn't know we had been doing it. Charlotte stayed with me for the night to make sure Amy was okay and probably to keep check on me. I fell asleep around midnight.
The next day I woke up to Charlotte saying, "Hey! Wake up!" I opened my eyes and my head felt like someone hit me with a sledge hammer. I groaned in pain and Charlotte handed me pain killers and coffee. "You're my savior." I said taking the pain killers. She smiled. "How's she?" I asked gulping down the coffee. "Much better. Doc thinks she'll be awake anytime soon." Charlotte said drinking her own coffee. I smiled and wanted to cheer. "So did you guys win?" I asked realizing it had been pretty early in the game when I had left. "Yup 1-0. Amy had won it for us. I think the other team felt bad." she said grinning.
One hour later I was all alone in the room when Amy said, "Jon?" I rushed to her side. "Yeah babe?" I said looking down at her. She looked up at me with those bright blue eyes. "I love you." she said in a weak voice. I kissed her head and said, "I love you too." The doctor came in. He saw that Amy was awake, "Oh. You're awake. How you feeling?" "Not the best my head hurts." she said rubbing the side of her head. "Well yes. You did suffer a puck from the neck which made you black out almost killing you and your head did hit hard against the ice giving you a mild concussion." he said looking at the notes. Amy looked shocked, she must have not remembered. "The last thing I remember is winning that goal and then having a face off." she said seeming puzzled. The doctor left. I looked down and kissed her.
*Amy's P.O.V.*
As Jon kissed me I could feel he was holding something back. "Babe. What are you not telling me?" I asked seriously. His eyes went a mixture of sad and exited at the same time. "While you were out the doc told me that you were 2 weeks pregnant." he said holding my hand. I laid there shocked. I'm pregnant!? Wait wait wait the game... oh my god I forgot the game. "Who won??" I asked quickly forgetting about being prego for a second. "US. You made the only goal in the game. So technically you won the Gold Medal for the team." Jon said smiling. I smiled and wanted to cheer but I felt to weak. "So. We're having a kid?" I asked Jon. He nodded smiling.
After an hour the team came in all wearing their USA gear. I looked up confused. "We wanted to have the medal presentation here with you Captain." one of the girls said. The whole team, coach, the officals and a camera man came in the room. We all got our medals put on us one at a time and when they got to me the reporter said, "And finally the one who got the only goal and suffered a near death experience in the final game Amy Johnson." Then my medal was put around my neck. Once we all had our medals we got a few pictures taken. I looked over at Jon and smiled. So now I am an Olympian, a bride to be and a mother to be. Life couldn't get much sweeter than this.
Once I got to the rink I went straight to the med room. "Hey Doc." I said and placed my stuff next to the table then climbed on it. "Hey Amy. Everything feeling okay?" Doc said looking at me. "Yup.
