The next few days, Jon and I went on with our normal lives. We played Detroit and won 2-3. It was now new years eve. After the win, Duncan announced that he was going to have a New Years party, so Jon and I were going. We woke up pretty late and decided to go to Hole in the Wall for breakfast. Momma J wasn't there today, apparently she was meeting with someone to help her decide what she needed to do most with the money Jon had given here for Christmas. We ate anyway and then left. We walked around downtown for a few hours, looking at all the after-christmas sale ads. Not many places were open, since it was New Years eve, but some little stores were and we looked around in them. Jon took a few pictures and signed some autographs for a few fans, which neither of us really minded. After a few hours, both of us were hungry again and we went to a small sports bar where we watched what was left of a Winter Classic preview show. We shared a few appetizers, had a few beers then went back to Jon's car. We drove back to our building and hung out with Patrick and Cassie up on the rooftop. At around 7, we all went back downstairs and started getting ready for the party. I wore a long sleeve, silver dress with a pair of sparkly pumps. I teased my hair and put into a messy, but elegant up-do. Cassie wore a dark purple dress with sequins and matching heels. Jon and Patrick wore what they normally did, nicer jeans and abuttondown with the sleeves rolled up. The four of us left and went to Keith's place where a bunch of the team already was. We mingled with them and ate small things and drank a lot of champagne. When I was talking with a few of the WAG's, I saw someone I recognized, but wasn't sure of how I knew here. I asked Kelly-Rae Keith who it was.
"Oh that's Daniella." she said, looking over at her. 'Daniella,' I thought, 'Daniella. Oh, that's Jon's..... ex-girlfriend.' I remembered. I guess the other girls saw the look of disappointment on my face.
"Don't worry about her though. I don't even know how she got invited, if she even did." Dayna, Seabrook's fiance said.
"Yeah. None of us ever really liked her." Abby said. I just nodded reassuringly at them then faked a smile. The night went on and for some reason, I kept finding myself glancing at her. She didn't seem to be noticing or trying to be with Jon though. At around 11:58 though, I realized everyone was pairing up for their cliche New Years kiss, and I needed to find mine. I walked all around searching for Jon. The countdown began and I spotted him, but next to Daniella. The smile vanished from my face. "10, 9, 8" people began saying. Daniella was moving closer to him. "5,4,3," I was 10 feet from them.
"Jon!" I said loudly over the counting. He looked up at me and was about to make his way to me. "2, 1!" the crowd roared. Daniella then grabbed Jon's neck and pulled him to her. She kissed him, hard. He tried breaking away, but he couldn't escape her grip. He then began kissing her back, his body moved closer to hers and its tension went away. I watched it all happen. My stomach felt like it dropped to my ass. When she broke away, Daniella looked over at me and smiled, wiped her lip and then walked away. Jon met my gaze and a look of pure guilt and sadness appeared on his face.
"Chels-" he said, coming towards me. I shook my head and I could feel my lips starting to twitch like they did when I cried. I set my glass of champagne down on a table and walked out into the cold Chicago air. I whistled for a taxi, which quickly stopped. I got in and went straight back to my apartment. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't so mad about her kissing him, I was mad about him falling into it and not doing anything to stop it. I knew it was just a kiss, but it was with Daniella. A pretty, tall, tan, skinny blonde whom Jon had dated for a few years. I was just the paleish, plumpish girl who had only been with him for a few months. I changed out of my dress and shoes and put on a big t-shirt. I took my makeup off and brushed my hair out. I plugged my phone into the charger and then got into my bed. Some light shown through my curtains from the moon and city lights, giving the room and grey glow. I was staring up at the ceiling, just thinking about what to do. About 10 minutes passed when I heard Jon come into my apartment. He said my name a few times then came into my room. He had changed out of his clothes and into gym shorts and boxers. When he found me in my bed, he joined me. Jon tried wrapping his arms around me and started to apologize when I just turned over on my side, putting my back to him. I guess he took the message because he remained silent. I fell asleep some time later. We'd talk in the morning.
*********************************
When I woke up in the morning, Jon was still asleep. I got up and started making myself breakfast. I was flipping some bacon when Jon came out of my room. He yawned and rubbed his eyes then sat across from me at the island-bar. I continued what I was doing, not acknowledging him.
"Chelsea." he said. I put my food onto a plate then went to my couch and turned on the TV.
"Really?" Jon said, getting up and following me to the couch. He sat on the coffee table in front of me, picking up the remote and turning the TV off. I set my fork down, set the plate to the side, and looked up at him.
"She kissed me." Jon said.
"You kissed her back." I said in response. He just sat there for a second, not saying anything.
"Do you think I don't love you anymore?" Jon finally said. I looked up.
"I don't know Jon. She's tall, skinny and blonde. I'm average, can barely wear a bikini." I said. Jon moved from the table to his knees in front of me. He took my head in his hands.
"We have gone over this, Chels. You are the most beautiful girl. No one will ever take that from you, or me. I promise." he said. I leaned away from him, broke his gaze and sighed.
"Chelsea, when you were in the hospital, I didn't know what to do with myself. I could barely speak to anyone without my voice shaking. The thought of you not being okay terrified me. I love you Chelsea, more than anything." Jon said, moving closer to me. He put his hand on the side of my face and turned it towards him. He then stood up and pulled me up with him and brought me as close to him as I could be. He pulled my chin up so I could see his face. He smirked and then kissed me harder and more deeply than he had ever before. I held back and tensed up for a little bit, but then gave in. Jon put his arms around my waist and mine were around his neck. He picked me up and put my legs around his waist. When we finally broke apart, he set his forehead against mine.
"So, are we good?" Jon said
"I don't know Toews, we might to do a little more of that before we're completely okay." I said jokingly. Jon smiled and picked me up and spun me around, kissing me more.
"I love you, Chels." he said against my lips.
"I love you to, Jon." I said back. He pulled back and looked at me and gave me signature smirk. I smiled back at him and pecked his lips once more. I brought my plate back to the kitchen and then joined Jon again on the couch. We curled up with one another and watched a few more pre-game shows for the Winter Classic. The Caps and Pens were playing, so I'd definitely be watching. I could tell Jon wasn't as interested, but he watched it for me. When the game started, I put on my new Pens jersey that I got for Christmas. When it was over and we won 3-1, I was ecstatic. I texted Sidney to congratulate him on the winning goal, though I knew he wouldn't see for at least an hour after the game. Patrick came over a little later and the three of us hung out. Cassie was doing something with her family like she always did on New Years. We got kinda bored at my place just watching TV, so Patrick suggested we go over to his place and play Mario Cart. I didn't really feel like it since my medicine side-effects were starting to kick in. Jon and him left and I went to my room and pulled out my laptop. I checked my Facebook and email then just messed around online. About an hour later, Cassie called and asked me if she could come talk to me. I was a little confused why she had asked, she had always just walked right in. She told me she was leaving her parents' house and would be here in about 20 minutes. I was a little worried about her. I finished everything on my computer then went back out to the main area. Sure enough, Cassie came over. She sat down on the opposite side of the couch and then just looked at me.
"Chelsea, I don't know what to do." she said
"What's going on?" I asked. She covered her mouth with her hand and then started crying.
"A about a month ago," she said between sobs, "P-Patrick and I, you know," she said. I nodded.
"And I was late." Cassie said. I gasped and scooted closer to her.
"No, are you sure?" I asked. She nodded and wiped her face, trying not to mess up her makeup.
"I went to the doctor a few days after it hadn't come." she said
"Does Patrick know?" I asked her. She started crying again and shook her head.
"I don't want him to break up with me. He might think I just did it for publicity, especially since we've only been dating for a few months." Cassie said. I reached out for a hug and let her cry into my shirt.
"You have to tell him." I said. She just nodded.
"Tonight." I said again. She leaned back and looked in my eyes with complete fear and shook her head.
"Yes." i said. She sighed and nodded then leaned her head back on the top of the couch. Cassie hadn't told anyone else other than her sister. My best friend was having a baby. We talked a little more about it then she called Patrick. She decided just to tell him over the phone to ease her nerves.
"Patrick?" she said
"Um, yeah, Im good babe."
"I need to tell you something."
"Um, well, Im uh... pregnant." No one said anything for a minute
"Patrick?
"Oh. Okay. Yeah, I'll see you in a minute." She hung up the phone and set it down and looked straight ahead.
"What'd he say?" i asked
"Not much. He's coming over." she said. Seconds later, Jon and Patrick walked into my apartment. Patrick look completely shell shocked. He went to straight to her, knelt down and put one hand on her stomach and the other on her back. Jon came over and sat on the other side of me and whispered in my ear to ask me what was happening. I told him and he went wide eyed.
"You're sure?" he asked. She covered her mouth with her hand again and started crying. Patrick immediately wrapped his arms around her and started shushing her and saying it was all going to be okay, and that they were in it together. They stood up and Patrick turned to us.
"Welp, we're having a baby." he said, almost sounding scared.
"Oh my god. We're having a baby." He said again, turning to Cassie. She nodded. Patrick put his arm around her and they turned to us, as if waiting for a response. Jon stood up and walked over to Patrick.
"Congrats, man." he said then gave him the 'bro hug.' He hugged Cassie too. I followed after him and hugged them both. They then left, Im guessing to go tell their families. Cassie's mom would not be happy though, she was really conservative and very against out of wet lock babies. I really hoped it went well for them though. Jon and I decided to go up to the rooftop and hang out. I grabbed a hoodie, sunglasses and a blanket. We went up and sat on the porch-swing thing and covered ourselves with the blanket.
"I can't believe they're having a kid." Jon said
"I know. Her mom is really against the kids before marriage thing, so I don't know how its going to go over. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she makes them get married." I said
"Shotgun wedding, whew," Jon said shaking his head.
"Really though, they've only been together for like 4 months." I said
"Mhm." Jon said nodding his head.
"Its terrifying. I don't even know if I want kids." I said. Jon looked up at me.
"You don't?" he asked.
"Not really. Me, being responsible for another tiny human's life, putting them through potential divorce and modern school, doesn't sound too appealing." I said
"That's a good point. But you were really great with Jared," Jon said back
"But I don't take care of him full time. Playing with him for a few days is different." I said
"True. That's just a little disappointing." Jon said
"Why?" I asked, pulling my sunglasses on top of my head and looking at Jon.
"I don't know. I just thought you'd want kids."
"Do you want kids?" I asked
"Someday. Definitely not now., but someday." he said
"Hmm. Alrighty then." I said.

"Yep." Jon said then put his arm around me. We dropped the baby topic and moved our conversation to other places. Once it started getting dark, we went back inside and made dinner at Jon's place. We spent the rest of the night there and just hung out.
