The Empire

The next morning Liz was woken up by movement in the bed beside her. Just as she opened her eyes she felt the other side of the bed get lighter and she rolled over looking up at Adam who was standing at the side of the bed pulling on sweat pants. She yawned and he turned, smiling at her.
"Morning."
"Morning. What time is it?" She sat up in bed, looking over at the clock. "7:30?"
He chuckled and leaned over her bed kissing her. "Morning practice. Matinee game today."
"That's gross." She scrunched her face up and flopped back down on the bed wrapping herself in the comforter, still looking over at Adam still standing there in just his sweat pants. He looked around the room then back at her.
"Do you know where my shirt went?"
She smirked up at him and pulled back the covers revealing that she was wearing it. He chuckled and raised an eyebrow at her.
"What? It's comfy and besides, you look better without it." She smiled and wiggled her eyebrows.
He got back down on the bed moving himself over to her. "If that's the case, you'd look better without it too." He smirked leaning down to kiss her again, sliding his hands under her around her back. A few minutes later Liz pulled away with a sigh.
"Don't tease me like this when you have to leave for practice."
"Sorry." He kissed her again and sat up. "But really, I need my shirt."
He knew from the smirk that was pulling at the corners of her mouth that it wasn't going to be as easy as he hoped to get his shirt back. She sat up, pushing the blankets off her and reached for the hem of the shirt pulling it over her head. His eyes widened slightly as she pulled the shirt off, leaving her sitting there naked in the bed. She held the shirt out in front of her with a smirk.
"There you go."
He grabbed the shirt from her and she sat there staring at him with the smirk on her lips. He let his eyes wander over her body and groaned, moving to sit on the side of the bed pulling his shirt on.
"What did you just say about teasing?"
Suddenly he felt her hands on his shoulders, massaging them gently. She leaned forward putting her lips beside his ears.
"Two can play at that game, hotshot." She placed a soft kiss below his ear and flopped back down on the bed.
He groaned again and stood up, grabbing his wallet and phone from her dresser. "I need to leave now or else I'm going to miss practice." He said walking over to her side of the bed, leaning down and giving her a quick kiss. "You coming to the game?"
"What to I get in return?" She wiggled her eyebrows playfully.
"Well, you have the opportunity to go home with one of the hottest players on the team."
Her eyes brightened and she smiled playfully, "you mean I can finally have my way with Tuukk's?"
His face darkened and she broke out into a fit of giggles. When she stopped, he was still looking at her with a disapproving face. She sighed and grabbed a sweater from the chair pulling it over her head and walking over to him.
"I'm just kidding." She wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest. "You know you're the only Bruin for me."
He wrapped his arms around her in return and placed a kiss on the top of her head. "I better be."
"Trust me, if I wanted to have my way with any one else, I would have by now." She pulled back with a slight smile on her face, "now scoot or else you're going to be late!"
He leaned down pressing his lips to hers. "So I'll see you after the game?"
"Yeeeep. I'll wait for you outside the room."
"Sounds good." He pressed his lips against hers again and they walked out of the room heading for the door. Liz pulled her sweater down as far as it would go, just incase Julie happened to come out as she followed Adam to the door. She opened the door for him, leaning against it as he pulled his shoes and coat on.
"Thanks for inviting me yesterday by the way."
He smiled down at her, "I think I should thank you for coming with me."
"Like I would have said no. Hopefully you don't get picked on too much in the locker room today. But if you do, I'll beat them up for you." She scowled playfully putting her fists up.
He laughed and leaned down kissing her head. "You could take 'em all babe. See ya."
"Bye." She smiled as she watched him walk down the hall and closed the door as he approached the elevator.

Adam walked in the dressing room walking to his stall and dropping his bag on the floor in front of it. He sat down and looked up noticing a few of the guys who were at the Thanksgiving get together the night before staring at him with smiles on their faces. He chuckled to himself, shaking his head before pulling off his shoes. As he did so, he heard a voice from across the room.
"I try for months with nothing, and you seal the deal in under a month? What do you have that I don't?"
"Maybe the fact that he doesn't need a stool to reach the top shelf?" Tyler quipped.
The guys shared a laugh and Ference spoke up.
"Who's Quaider sealing the deal with?"
"Oh you didn't hear? He brought Liz to Thanksgiving yesterday, as his girlfriend."
A chorus of 'oooouuu' broke out through the locker room and Adam chuckled noting it sounded like a group of teenage girls, only deeper.
"Quaider's got a girlfriend? Who would have seen that one coming." Horty bellowed.
"Brit did." Looch called from his stall. "She called it weeks ago."
"Maybe good ol' Liz can liven him up a bit!" Marchy clapped him on the shoulder.
"You guys do know I'm still in the room right?" Adam noted with an amused look on his face as he continued to pull his gear on.
"Hey, you take part in the chirping when the other guys get ladies, now it's your turn." Greg called from beside him. "Just remember, she hangs out with Katie, I'll hear about it if you fuck up." He chuckled.
"I'm not planning on messing up a good thing, but I'll remember that." He laughed tying up his skates.
The guys started to leave the room, but Tyler stuck back with Adam as he finished doing up his skates.
"I know I've given you a hard time, and it won't be the end of it either; trust me. Remember that you have probably half a hockey team on your ass if you hurt her. But I want her to be happy, I've known her for a while and haven't seen her this happy. Keep that smile on her face and we're good to go."
"Don't worry Segs. I plan on keeping that smile on her face for a long time."
The Tyler he was used to came back into play and a smirk spread across his face. "I'm sure you have your ways Quaider, I could give you a few tips too you know. I'm sure she's wild in the sack!" He chuckled as he grabbed his stick and headed towards the door.

Later that night, Liz was headed to the Garden bundled in as many layers possible to keep out the cold Boston winds. As she headed for the side door she noticed someone else walking up to the door with two small girls trailing her. Almost immediately she knew that it was Krista and the girls and smiled to herself, not having yet watched a game with the two littlest Ference's.
"Well hello there my little ladies!" She called out to the girls watching their heads turn and smiles beaming on their faces.
"LIZ!" They both ran at her and she crouched down preparing for a bombardment of hugs. Having been the resident babysitter for them over the past half a year or so, she was definitely on their favourite people list. Returning their hugs she stood back up and smiled at Krista.
"You're here early, coming up to sit with us again?"
Before she had time to answer, a little voice piped up.
"You're going to sit with us?! You've never watched a game with us before!"
Picking up the youngest girl, she grabbed the other's hand and started towards the door again.
"That's not true! We've watched games at home before!"
"That's not the same! You've never watched a game in the Garden with us before."
"You're right, but I will tonight!"
As the girls hollered their acceptance of the fact that Liz would be up in the box with them that night, she noticed a familiar face approaching Krista from behind and smirked as he got closer. Andrew grabbed his wife's sides making her scream and jump from the unexpected contact. As the other three girls laughed at the scene in front of them, Liz received a dirty look from Krista.
"And you of all people, I thought you would have my back!" She chuckled and swatted her husband in the chest. He smiled and nodded over at Liz.
"You have a fan club." He chuckled at his girls as they were draped over her.
"What can I say, they have good taste!"
"And I hear Quaider does too. Finally sealed that deal, huh?"
Liz chuckled and rolled her eyes at the terminology used by the older man and smiled.
"Yep. It's all official!"
Krista's eyes widened, "WHAT!" She turned to Andrew smacking him in the chest again. "You never told me that!"
"Ow!" He rubbed the spot on his chest, "don't blame me, I just found out at practice!"
The older Ference girl looked at her dad with a furrowed brow. "What did you find out about Darth Quaider, daddy?"
He chuckled at her using the nickname she created for his teammate and walked over to her picking her up.
"Well you see, Liz here is dating Darth Quaider."
The girl turned her head to Liz.
"He's your boyfriend?"
Liz smiled, still loving the sound of Adam being referred to as her boyfriend.
"Yep, he is!"
"Oh wow! That's cool! I like Quaider. He's funny."
She smiled at the oldest girl and then turned to the little girl in her arms, tickling her stomach lightly.
"What about you? Do you like Quaider?"
She giggled at the tickling and nodded her head feverishly.
"Well then it's settled! The Ference family is a-okay with our little Liz dating Quaider. You may proceed."
Liz smirked and raised an eyebrow in Andrew's direction.
"Ah yes, because I live and breath for your approval, oh wise one."
Andrew narrowed his eyes at the younger girl and Krista chuckled as she walked over to grab their daughter from him.
"I knew there was a reason I liked you." She chuckled at Liz's comment. "Now before you're late for pre-game manly stuff and before they open the doors of madness, we're going to get upstairs!" She leaned up kissing her husband quickly and after he turned to Liz.
"Any messages you want me to pass on to the boyfriend? Only thing I draw the line at is passing on kisses or any other forms of physical affection."
She rolled her eyes and chuckled. "Damn, and I so wanted you to walk in there and plant one on him. How about a simple good luck hotshot."
"Ah, an ego boost, that one I can do! Enjoy the game ladies!"
A chorus of 'will do''s from the adults and 'good luck daddy' from the younger girls rang out as they all parted and headed in their own ways.
"So you and Darth Quaider need to get married and have 2 babies, a boy and a girl, and you need to name them Luke and Leia, okay?" The oldest Ference spoke with a serious tone.
Liz laughed in response to this and looked up at Krista. "How the heck does she know all this stuff?"
"Have you met her father?" The two shared a chuckle as the little voice spoke again.
"I don't know why you're laughing. This is serious business! The empire is at stake!"

Comments

You aren't a horrible person!! Life happens, and it's okay to have taken a break. But now, if you're back, I'm so happy for updates to start coming back!!
I think that in a traditional sense, an engagement/wedding/etc. would come next. That's always an option to explore for Adam and Liz. If not, maybe just some good old-fashioned drama (car accident? hockey collision? sick baby?? ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES)
Honestly, I'll be happy to read anything about the McQuaids at this point. Just take your time and things ideas may come! :) :) :)
