"I still can't believe you organized all this." I said resting my head on Pat's shoulder.
"Ehhh, there wasn't much organizing involved."
"Still." I said smiling. "It's nice."
"Yeah?"
"Mhmm." I nodded. "The kid in me is kind of freaking out."
"The same one who wanted to get married here when she was a kid?" He asked with an amused look on his face. So yes I must have told him quite a bit about my childhood.
"Maybe." I said smiling. "So I told you about that eh?"
"Yeah." He said chuckling. "But you've never actually been there."
"Pffff… I saw commercials. Pretty much the same thing."
"Mhmm, totally not the same thing."
"Right, because you didn't have a deprived childhood."
"Nope. I went with my sisters a few years back. I didn't have much of a childhood."
"Hockey. Right." I said nodding my head. "Little 14 year old superstar." I said winking.
"Haha yeah." He said chuckling softly. "Wait, how did you know that?" He said raising his eyebrow.
"You'd be the first one I would tell if I remembered anything. I searched you up on the internet. Had to know who I married." I said chuckling.
"The internet." He said laughing. "There's a lot of crap about me on there huh?"
"Just a bit. Nothing bad since I met you though." I said smiling. "That's always good."
"Yeah, I'm not the same as before. New priorities."
"Really?" I asked laughing.
"Mhmm… there are these two little kids I call mine. They're pretty much my life now, a bit of hockey on the side too."
"Those are pretty good I guess…"
"But my life is about this one person now."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, and I faintly remember marrying her, and maybe having my two kids with her. I'm pretty sure…."
"Wow, she must be pretty lucky to have a husband that faintly remembers marrying her."
"Hey! No judging she doesn't remember any of it."
"That's not her fault. Apparently car accidents can be pretty bad."
"They can be, effing scary too for the people who love her."
"I'm sure she's very sad that anyone had to go through that."
"But she made it through, and still kicks ass."
"Damn right she does." I said laughing.
"And she still makes me laugh, and my heart race every time she's next to me."
"And if she were right beside you now?"
"She could feel my heart beating for her, and see in my eyes how much I love her."
"And what would she do back?"
"I'm not sure."
"Maybe something like this?" I said turning and bringing his head down to mine for a kiss.
"And why would she do that?" He asked grinning.
"Because that's her way of saying sorry for everything you have been through this past year, and for saying thank you for being the best person in the world."
"Well for the first part it's not her fault, and if anything I'm second best." He said pecking my lips. "She's the best." He said winking.
"I have no desire to argue that." I said laughing.
"Good." He said chuckling. "Now lets get out of here wifey." He said as we grabbed our luggage and hailed a cab. It was early evening on a Sunday night, and we had a few days before another game so it was time to relax. I smiled to myself, looking out at the beach as we passed it.
"Oh my goodness! It's like my childhood fantasy come true." I exclaimed clutching onto his arm.
"How old are you again?" He asked amused.
"24. And no saying that 24 or 27 year olds can't have fun here because buddy that just ain't true." I said laughing.
"I wasn't going to say that. I'm just glad to see you so happy." He said laughing. "This one's our room." He said sliding in the key to reveal a beautiful suite.
"Yup, the bed is comfy." I said as I had just jumped face first onto it.
"Good to know." Pat said laughing.
Yes, very important. So…are we doing anything tonight or just crashing and saving the next few days for the fun?"
"Up to you." He said shrugging.
"Well I say we take advantage of this gorgeous weather, and go for a walk or something. Then maybe eat." I said.
"Alright." He said smiling.
"Sweet!" I said jumping up, and quickly locating a different outfit, one more suitable for the warm beach like climate. After slipping on my shorts, and a tank top and putting my glasses on my head, I grabbed my camera and was ready to go.
"Yes I am documenting this vacation." I said laughing. "I'm actually decent thank you very much."
"You must have forgotten about it while we were dating. I hardly ever saw you with a camera." He said chuckling.
"Well get ready to witness my wicked skills." I said laughing as I snapped a picture of the beach. "Look." I said pointing out towards the shore.
"Wow." He said taking in the school of dolphins as I snapped some pictures of the dolphins and one of his amazed face.
"Crazy huh?" I said watching them continue on their journey.
"Beautiful." He agreed.
"Thank you for doing this." I said squeezing his hand and swinging it along as we walked.
"It was nothing." He said slinging his arm around my shoulders and pulling me into his side.
"It might not seem like it, but for me it means everything." I said smiling.
"I'm glad." He said kissing the top of my head.
"Can you believe it's been almost 4 months since I got out of the hospital?"
"Almost as long as you were in there, but no it's gone by fast. I'm honestly just glad you're here."
"There was no way I was missing this." I said twirling around a couple times before settling my self onto the sand, admiring the sunset. I smiled and leaned back into Pat as he sat beside me. I took a picture of the two of us with the water behind us, and some funny faces. "Please can I post it?" I said pouting.
"Mhmm. I look like a lovestruck fool though. "
"I think you're allowed to." I said chuckling. Mid-Season vacay with the best hubby in the world Mr. @88PKane. #florida #childhood #dreamcometrue #blessed #arentwesilly

"And you tagged me." He said laughing and sliding his phone out of his pocket. "Ahhh yup. There it is." Aren't we just stunning. #beauts #loveya #crazykids

"Haha cute." I said laughing as even more people commented due to Pat's tweet. "Can you believe we get three days to ourselves before having to go down to practice?"
"Wednesday night doesn't have to come any quicker. I'm good right here." He chuckled.
"But think of it this way, the playoffs are starting in a couple weeks, so we better win so we can get that damn Presidents Trophy yeah?"
"Sounds like a plan."
"Let's go get some food." I said pulling myself up, before pulling Pat up. We grabbed a quick supper, before heading back to the room. "Mmmmm…now what?" I asked falling back onto the bed.
"We could watch a movie or something?" Pat said shrugging.
"Or we could go swimming." I said laughing.
"Yeah?"
"Mhmm." I said nodding. "The hot tub is calling my name."
"Well then, we'd better listen too it huh?" I nodded my head smiling.
"And then we get to be kids tomorrow!" I exclaimed.
"Haha, no."
"Suuuuure. We'll just see about that superstar." I said laughing.
"You enjoy calling me that don't you?" He said shaking his head. It's true I had taken a liking to the word.
"Mhmm you're my superstar." I said laughing. "Now go get ready." I said grabbing my bathing suit.
"Yes ma'am." He mock saluted as I went into the bathroom.
"God I look terrible." I said laughing as I came out. Four months had worked wonders on my body. The scars were no longer as visible as before. However my body still looked damaged and well… scarred.
"Nuh uh." You look just as beautiful as the day I married you." He said pecking my lips and smiling at me.
"Now that's hardly true, but thank you." I chuckled grabbing his hand and walking across the pool deck to the hot tub. I had my hair pulled up and glasses on, and Pat wore a baseball cap, but it was soon to be dark so I wasn't too worried. We only had one confrontation with a bunch of well bitchy little girls who happened to take an interest in all my scars. It ended up with me giving them the finger, Pat laughing and then entering the hot tub.
"Why are girls so mean?" He asked sliding in beside me, protective arm around my shoulder,
"What? Them thinking I had tried to kill myself? Oh that's nothing." I said laughing. "It's just the way we are. There were guys looking too, they just didn't voice their opinions like girls do."
"No, they just check you out." He said.
"And I don't care what anyone thinks, because honestly who cares?" I said shrugging. "It's not like I actually tried to kill myself. That would be a whole different story. I'd be a depressed wreck." I said laughing.
"Well you are beautiful to me." He said squeezing my shoulder.
"And I thank you for that, and for being patient with me."
"I'd rather have to be patient, then be alone so no worries."
"What happens if I don't get my memory back?"
"Well that's easy." He said grinning. "We will just have to make new memories, better ones." He said winking.
"Alright." I said laughing. "That means you're going to have to wow me into marrying you again."
"Easy."
"Haha alright superstar. Who's in net Thursday?"
"Lou."
"He's the one that played for Vancouver before right?" I had been studying everything NHL lately, however I wasn't certain I was thinking of the right person this time.
"Yup. See you're getting better babe. Soon you'll know the whole NHL off by heart."
"Wow. High standards there." A guy said as him and a few others joined us in the hot tub.
"Nah, I'll get it."
"Please tell me your favourite team isn't the Leafs or something like that."
"Uhhh no, it's Ottawa." I said winking at Pat as I faintly saw him roll his eyes and shake his head.
"Yeah? I guess it's not the leafs, but a Canadian team?"
"And that boys would be because I am Canadian." I said chuckling. "But yah the guys are pretty cool."
"The Sens?"
"Yeah, things can get pretty crazy off ice." I said laughing.
"So, who'd you meet then?"
"The entire team." I said chuckling. "Best 24th birthday ever."
"Nice. So does your boyfriend enjoy hockey then?
"Oh, enjoy is not the way to put it. More like lives and breathes hockey, but he's actually my husband." I said chuckling softly
"Congrats I guess then." He said laughing. "I hope we aren't intruding on a honeymoon or anything."
"Ah, no you're fine. Just a vacation. So what brings you guys down to Florida?"
Vacation. Going to see the hockey game thursday too."
"Ooooo favourite teams?" 3 out of 5 Hawks fans not bad, and only one said the Panthers. Pat had scoffed at that one.
"And you guys? Just a vacation then?"
"For now yeah." I said laughing. "So where are you guys from?"
"Well us three are obviously from Chicago, then sunny boy here is from Florida, and he's from New York."
"The United Center, pretty crazy place huh?"
"Totally! They are setting themselves up for another cup run this year."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Yeah if they win thursday they are guaranteed the President's trophy."
"Big deal.. right." I said nodding my head.
"So you've been to Chicago then I'm guessing."
"Mhmm. We actually live there."
"Oh wow really? That's cool."
"Yeah, it's a great city. Ah one second I've got to take that." I said stepping out to grab my phone, before carefully sliding back in. "Hey baby girl." I said as Bella's face popped up on the screen. "Is it bed time?" Bella looked up to Jon who nodded, causing Bella to turn into a fit of giggles before then nodding yes.
"Dada?"
"Right here baby girl." Pat said waving into the phone.
"Dada!" she exclaimed eyes widening.
"Hi princess. Are you being good for Uncle Jonny?" She looked up at Jonny expectantly, laughing again when he nodded. "Alright time for you to go to bed okay?" She cocked her head to the side hands up making sleeping noises. "Yes, sleep." Pat said laughing. Apparently she was going to be good tonight I thought as she nodded, and then the camera followed her slowly making her way into the nursery that had been made there for her.
"Where are you guys?" Jon asked coming back out of her room.
"In a hot tub." Everyone laughed at my straightforwardness.
"Good god." He said shaking his head.
"Mhmmm, there's some hockey fans in here too, no taste though. No one picked Ottawa, three of them like these Hawks people, I like don't even know." I said scrunching up my face.
"Great taste is more like it. Favourite player Kane or Toews?" Pat groaned beside me shaking his head.
"Boys?"
Which Kane?"
"Yeah, which one?" I asked into the phone.
"Not that it should really matter, but guy."
"Oh it would matter." I said laughing and winking. "88." I said turning to the boys. I laughed into the phone when it was two to one in favour of Pat. "Serves ya right for saying 91 couldn't compete with 19."
"Well atleast one guy has impeccable taste, hell let me talk to him instead." Jon said laughing.
"Okay." I said shrugging. "Here he would rather talk to you." I said reaching out towards Kyle phone in hand. "Do not drop my phone." I said.
"I won't."
"We'll see." I said chuckling. "Please try not to."
"Why would I….OH! HOLY CRAP! Like no freaking way, man."
"The hell?" The other three looked towards us. Pat and I high fived and laughed shrugging, they turned back looking at a flabbergasted Kyle.
"It's him."
"Who?" I heard Jon laughing in the background.
"Wait! And you two!" He said eyes wide. Pat and I shrugged. "Oh my god! How did I not see it sooner?"
"See what dude? It's dark."
"This" he said handing the phone to his buddies.
"Oh. Hey! You're Toews!" They exclaimed into the phone.
"S'me." Jon said laughing. "You boys coming down on Thursday?"
"Sweet, talk to those two and get a pass for afterwards. You two better not be tired, hungover or late Wednesday practice."
"Alright Jonny." I said laughing. "Becca will be by Tuesday to pick up the munchkin. Thanks for everything."
"See ya Wednesday." Pat said nodding and ending the call.
Well boys it was nice meeting you all. Did you want a picture before we call it a night?"
"Sure." They nodded. I got out and wrapped a towel around me, shaking down my hair and resting my sunglasses atop of my head. Two selfies later, we had exchanged numbers and were now on our way back to the room.
"Well that was fun." I said laughing.
Look out Florida, here come the fans! #onlythebest #wherewegotheyfollow #hottub

"T'was." He said falling back into the bed beside me. "So what would you like to do now?"
"Well I would normally say sleep, but I'm absolutely not tired seeing as I might have slept on the flight down for a bit."
"A bit?"
"I woke up at the end." I said laughing.
"You did, and that made me extremely happy." Pat said grinning.
"Yeah?"
"Mhmm good conversation." He said nodding.
"Weird I don't remember it." I said smirking.
"You don't huh? I might have to jog your memory then."
"And how would you do that? I'm pretty sure we were talking about hands right?" I said still smirking as I placed my hand on his thigh.
"Nah, but we did talk about kicking ass. I think this one will do." He said snaking his arm around me resting on the small of my back.
"And how about that heart? Still beating fast?"
"I don't know maybe you should come up here and find out."
"What to look into these beautiful blue eyes?" I asked smiling.
"Yes." He said, eyes shining bright.
"And am I seeing how much you love me?"
"I hope." He whispered.
"And what do you see?"
"I see my beautiful wife, looking into my eyes in a way I almost thought would never happen ever again, and she's causing my heart to race."
"And what do you plan to do about it superstar?" I asked winking.
"I'm going to make her heart race, and prove to her that i'll love her until the day that I die."
"She knows."
"Well in that case." He said bringing me down against him. "I am going to kiss my wife."
And there he is, I thought to myself as Pat broke away with an almost worried look on his face. "Aren't you going to stop me or something?"
Wasn't planning on it, I thought to myself. "No." I said smiling.
"No?" His eyes widened.
"Like N. O." I said laughing and rolling back onto my back. "Could you stop over thinking it and just get your ass over here?"
"I'm not over--"
"Yes you are. Now tell me have you or have you not been waiting 9 months give or take for this opportunity?"
"Well…yes."
"Then what's got you so freaked out now?"
"I'm not freaked out, I'm just worried."
"What about?"
"Lots of things. You regretting it, hurting you in more ways than one, hell getting you pregnant again. I don't know I guess I am over thinking it." He said huffing.
"You really are. You've got a girl lying beside you in a bathing suit and you're not taking advantage of it. Like what more does she have to do? Hmmmm maybe get you drunk?" I asked laughing. "Man I figured you were more crazy without the kids, turns out maybe you aren't." I said laughing as I got up from the bed.
"Wait where are you going?"
"Hey, hey you had your chance. Now I'm thirsty." I said laughing.
"And that's what you're drinking?" He said looking at the bottle in my hands.
"What? Someone had to make use of this very expensive, yet very delicious French champagne and I just happen to have grown to love the taste of it whilst living in said fine country."
"Haha okay." He said amused. "Ugh, no I don't want it."
"Awwwwww, well I'm not drinking the entire thing and then puking on the rides tomorrow soooooo…here ya go." I said laughing. Plus I wanted him the littlest bit buzzed, but he didn't need to know that.
"Well atleast it's not wine." He said looking at what was in front of him.
"Nope it's not. It's actually good." I said laughing. "Grab the laptop." I said sliding into bed with the rest of the bottle in hand. "Alright so each time we get a mention, we drink a bit okay?"
"Good god woman." Pat said laughing but obliged pulling up our two twitter accounts on different browsers. It was like 4 tweets to one for Patrick, which I had sort of expected. In the end I was a bit buzzed, heck it hadn't taken long to finish it off due to the traffic our twitter accounts see.
"Now what?" Pat said laughing.
"Why now, I'm going to seduce you Mr. Kane, it should be easier in this state." I said laughing, as I closed the space between us.
"I don't think that's how it's supposed to work." He said sliding his hands down my back.
"Oh no? A girl isn't allowed to seduce a man?"
"Nuh uh."
"Well then do something about it." I whispered in his ear. I'll need to remember this technique I thought to myself as I found myself back on the bed. And wow! that is what I've been missing the past four months? Heck I'm never making that mistake again, I thought as I lied facing him, his arms keeping me secure.
"Fuck."
I laughed. "I hope you don't mean that in a bad way."
"No I mean that in a effing I haven't done that in 9 months way. Hell! Like fuck, you are beautiful!"
"Even with all the scars?"
"Especially with all the scars." He said running his hand along the bigger ones, kissing softly the one on my shoulder.
"Why? I look damaged."
"No, you look strong. You looked like you overcame, and pushed through even when it was said that it wasn't possible. You're my little fighter, and I love you for fighting for me, for us even if you don't remember the past I will damn well make sure the future you remember is twice as good."
"Mmmmmmmm" I said smirking. "How are you going to do that?"
"Well to start, I'm going to make you scream." He said winking. "Love ya babe." He said before reattaching his lips and body to mine.
**
"Mmmmm. I want some cotton candy!" I exclaimed.
"Babe it's like 10 in the morning." Pat said laughing.
"Well at least get me a coffee then. I didn't really get much sleep last night." I said looking at him eyebrow raised.
"Hey, you weren't complaining." He said hands up in surrender.
"No I wasn't." I said laughing. "Still doesn't change the fact that my body physically needs some sugar or caffeine to get me into this day.
"Then we can go on more rides!" He said.
"Mhmm! But can we wait until the afternoon before attempting that tower one."
"Yah, sure. I want to go on rockin' roller-coaster again."
"Oh yah! That one is so good!" I exclaimed downing the double espresso shot I had just bought.
*
"OH MY GOD! Pat what did I get myself into?" I asked grabbing ahold of his forearm for dear life as the elevator cart started moving.
"Ton's of fun. Love ya." He said lacing his fingers into mine. He was actually right, apart from the initial fear the rest if the ride was actually fun and amusing.
"Did you have to buy the picture? I look freaked." I said looking over at the picture.
"Yup. Great memories." He said laughing.
"Ugh." I said shaking my head. "Let's go see all the character people at the castle. God I am such a kid." I said laughing.
"Sure." He said laughing. "Then we can grab some food for dinner."
"Alright, sounds good." I said squeezing his hand and smiling.
"But first we need to get out of here and get to the shuttle." He said nodding towards a group of girls whom by their body language could tell recognized us.
"Mmmm. Yes I'm feeling you on that one." I said laughing as we turned back and melted in with the rest of the crowd.
Can anyone guess where I am? #missingpeiceofmychildhood , I tweeted with a picture of a couple disney princesses.
"So I take it you are enjoying yourself?" Pat asked over dinner.
"Yes! I know I know I'm 24 but still I've dreamed about coming here since I was a kid, So thank you."
"I just don''t get how you've never been."
"I'm Canadian, and we lived comfortably but it wasn't in the best interests of the family to truck everyone down to Florida so we stuck to Canada instead."
"Makes sense." He said nodding.
"So have you ever been to Wonderland?"
"Uhhh that's the amusement park right?"
"Yup.."
"Then no. I heard of it when I was in London but never actually went."
"Oh we are so going next time we head up to London."
"Sounds good with me." Pat said shrugging.
"Sweet! Now I spent quite a few days there." I said laughing.
"The rides any good?"
"Mhmm, big and fast." I said smiling.
"Alright, we'll ditch the kids one day and go sometime this summer."
"Oooooo and a Jays game! Please!" I exclaimed quietly.
"Haha okay, we can make a weekend out of it."
"Now I'm excited for the summer." I said happily as I resumed eating my meal. "But we should totally head up to London this weekend."
"Hmmm, and why is that?"
"Wow, really? I paid more attention."
"Well for whatever reason, you're really taking advantage of this whole one game this week thing." He said laughing.
"Well, first off you organized this very much appreciated vacation. Second I have a legit reason why we are going up."
"Oh so now we are going huh?" He asked smirking.
"Well I am either way, I'll just give your tickets to someone else." I said laughing. "Oh and I'll tell mom she isn't getting to see her two grandchildren, I'm sure she'll be super happy." I said continuing to laugh.
"Oh she can have em' " Pat said laughing. "Mmmmm tickets?"
"Tickets yes. Multiple, but obviously you don't want them sooooo, I'll call up my brother I guess."
"Hey now, I never said I didn't want them." Pat said pouting. "Now where are we going?"
"Think hockey, superstar." I said chuckling.
"Okay." He said nodding, mulling it over.
"Think well London, and well something I would bring you to?"
"One sec, gotta look up the dates of something." He said pulling out his phone. "Ahah yup, got it." He said smiling as he looked up. "I'm totally in."
"That's good, I was just bluffing on calling my brother. They are already coming." I said laughing.
"I'm not even going to ask how you knew about this before me and got tickets." He said shaking his head.
"Ohhhhh that's simple. But they did ask me to ask you if you would want to go on the panel in-between periods. It makes no difference to me if you do, or don't." I said.
"Shouldn't be a problem, but it's not even in London."
"Nah, but Guelph isn't too far away, plus London is playing in it."
"Sweet. It'll be nice to catch a couple games. Thanks." He said as we got up and exited the boat our diner had been on.
"No problem superstar.' I said laughing. "I think it facilitated the process when I dropped your name though."
"Well obviously." He said smirking.
"Right, that ticket can be gone." I said laughing.
"Sorry." He said laughing.
"No you're not, but that's fine." I said laughing, it was probably true anyways.
"Look. It's totally our building." Pat said pointing ahead of where we were walking.
"Thank god. My feet are exhausted. Wait take that back, I'm exhausted." I chuckled as we made it to our door.
"Mhmm. All that walking killed me." Pat said agreeing.
"Good you're tired too, I was worried I was out of shape." I said laughing as I slipped on my sweats and a Hawks tee.
"Well in that case we both are." Pat said laughing as he climbed into the bed beside me.
"Uhhhh, then we aren't out of shape, lets just leave it at that." I said laughing.
"Sounds great." Pat said laughing along. "Like exhausted."
"I know." I said making myself comfortable.
"Well good night babe." Pat said kissing the back of my head.

"Night." I said cuddling into the warmth of his his body, smile etched on my face.
