Redemption of a Puck Slut: Part II

March 20, 2015

March 20, 2015

Dear Diary,

I’m so tired, and sick. I liked it better last time when I didn’t know I was pregnant until this part was over.

It doesn’t help that the last few weeks I have also been worried about talking to Brandon. I considered just sending him a text, or even calling him, but the Flyers played the Pens last week and I realized I should tell him in person. I waited until after the game, in case it upset him. I really didn’t know how he would react, but I wasn’t expecting this.

I invited him over after the game so he could see Annie, and Sid was okay with it. He even stayed at the arena a little longer than usual to give us some time alone, or maybe he just didn’t want to be around us. Sid’s given me a lot of allowances with Brandon, and I’m not sure why. If I were any normal girl I would think it’s because he had another girl, or something like that. But I’m not normal, and neither is Sid. I know his first love is hockey, and everything (except maybe the baby) comes second. And I’m okay with that.

I brought Brandon up to the nursery and made sure he was sitting with Annie in his arms before I told him. I hated to ruin how happy he looked, but I had to tell him.

“Sid and I are having a baby,” I said quietly after a few minutes. He was quiet, but when he looked up from Annie he was smiling.

“Isn’t that what you wanted? What you said he needed? ‘One of his own’ or something like that?” He said, still looking surprisingly happy (maybe it was because they’d beat the Pens that night?)

“Actually, it’s kind of funny,” I said, laughing at the irony. “We had just talked about it, and decided that we had time, and didn’t need to rush into anything. And then…. I find out I’m pregnant,” I laughed again, more in pity of myself this time.

“So, congratulations, I guess? You don’t seem too happy about it,” Brandon said, raising an eyebrow in question.

“Remember when-this was a long time ago, but- remember when I said I didn’t really like kids that much, and I didn’t think I’d have any unless I was in the right situation with the right person?” He thought about it and nodded, so I continued. “Well, I’m about to have three now, with three different people, only one of whom is my husband.”

“And it’s still not the right situation?” he asked and I nodded sadly. It was quiet; I could hear Annie making cute baby noises in her sleep, Brandon breathing quietly next to me, the clock in the hall ticking, Sophie’s tail hitting the floor as she wagged.

“Well, I don’t know if this will make you feel better, but I already knew about it,” he said finally.

“What? How?” I sat up looked at him, shocked that anyone knew.

“Yeah, I heard before practice the other day. A few of the guys still don’t like me because I used to be a Penguin, and they thought it would be funny to tease me about my former captain getting his ‘crazy’ wife pregnant,” I could hear an edge in his voice, a tone I hadn’t heard before. “But anyway, that’s how I got this,” he pointed to a healing cut on his forehead, just above his eye.

“Brandon, you didn’t have to do that. You shouldn’t fight with your new teammates; that’s not how you make friends,” I mock scolded him, trying to lighten the mood, but I was pretty mad. “How did they even-?”

I was cut off by the sound of Sophie barking, indicating that Sid was home. I exchanged glances with Brandon and he started to get up.

“I should probably go.”

“No, please stay,” I put my hand on his arm and he seemed startled at my touch. “You can stay here, the team isn’t leaving until the morning, right?”

He sat down again, and looked at his sleeping daughter in his arms. “She’s gotten so big since the last time I saw her.”

“Yeah, and she’s only going to get bigger,” I joked, but that only made him sadder.

“One day I’ll come back and she’ll be talking, and before you know it she’ll be graduating from high school and going off into the world,” Brandon said, sounding so distant and depressed.

I didn’t know what to say, how do you even respond to that? So I put my arm around him and leaned on his shoulder. I didn’t even move when I heard Sid coming up the stairs; I heard him hesitated outside of the door, but he kept walking.

The next morning I made breakfast for them, blueberry banana buckwheat pancakes, of course. The two of them politely talked about the game, and other hockey things. For some reason, I think I’m the only one who found it awkward. Sid and Brandon are definitely getting along better than they used to, and much better than I ever expected them to.

After Brandon left I told Sid about what Brandon had said (about his teammates knowing I was pregnant). Sid didn’t seem surprised, instead he sighed disappointedly.

“Someone probably saw us at the hospital and said something. This is my fault, I shouldn’t have made you go back for another ultrasound.”

“You think someone at the hospital did this?” I asked.

“Probably not the staff, they’re more professional than that. But we were in the waiting room, and saw other patients in the hall, anyone could have leaked the story,” he replied, and shook his head. “I’m sorry Emme.”

“No, it’s okay. This is what happens when you marry the best hockey player in the world,” I smiled and held his hand, trying to cheer him up. “Besides, who cares? You got to see your tiny little baby!”

He looked up and smiled, “Yeah, that was pretty great. Even though he’s tiny and doesn’t really look like anything, that was still really special.”

“You are going to be late for practice, unless you want to help feed the twins, and then you’ll be really late,” I smiled and got up to get their bottles. Instead of leaving for practice, like I thought he would (and he should have) he came with me up to the nursery. I handed him a bottle and he picked up Annie.

“I don’t care if I’m late; hockey can wait if my little girl is hungry,” he smiled down at her as she began sucking on the bottle, and I watched them for a minute before picking up Teddy.

As if that wasn’t hard enough (seeing Brandon and Sid holding Annie), Geno came over after practice to see his little guy.

Caeleigh and I talked and did our nails downstairs while the guys were up with the babies in the nursery. Eventually Geno came down to get a bottle for Ted and sat with us.

“You want to hold him?” Geno said and pushed him in Caeleigh’s lap, even though she said she didn’t.

“Oh, um, okay I can hold him I guess,” she said and looked at me confused and I shrugged.

“You’d be such a great mom, and now that Emme’s having another baby, you’ll be an aunt again!” Geno said with a smile.

“Yeah, I’m not sure that’s how that works, if I’d be an aunt or a, um, step-something,” Caeleigh replied, and Teddy started crying. She sighed and got up. “I’ll go change him.”

After she left Geno looked at me with a mischievous smile. “I think Caels and I are going to have a baby.”

“Oh really? Does she know this?” I asked sarcastically but he laughed.

“She’ll come round to it,” he said, still smiling.

“I think she wants to get married first,” I replied. He didn’t say anything, but he winked. (What the hell does that mean?)

So, that’s been my life lately. Being pregnant and having twins doesn’t leave much time for anything else. I did go to one game a while ago, and I sat with Mrs. Juice and we talked about being pregnant. I guess our due-dates are near each other, which is also right near the beginning of next season (that should be fun).

But that’s so far away I can’t even think about it. I just have to get through one day at a time.

Sincerely,

Emme

Notes

I don't know if anyone noticed this, but the title changed a few chapters ago (and I forgot to tell you). I added part one as a separate story so that if anyone was just starting this one they could read that first instead of reading the first 25 chapters of 'Diary of a Puck Slut.'

Also, I'm running out of ideas for this. I don't actually know anything about babies/toddlers/children in general, so writing about Annie and Teddy growing up is going to be difficult. (If anyone wants to help me that'd be awesome.....)

Anyway, thank you for reading!
