No Sense of Direction

Chapter Thirty Five

"Come on Geno, please be all right," I muttered as I looked to see him moving slowly, "Dammit," I growled as I hoped over the boards and walked onto the ice, heading over to behind the net where Geno was clearly in pain, "Гено, с тобой все в порядке? Где болит?" (Geno are you all right? Where does it hurt?)

"везде," (Everywhere) he muttered as he knelt on the ice and held his head.

I sighed and checked to see if he was bleeding anywhere, but didn't see any blood. I looked up to see that Kris and Pascal were standing there and I motioned for them to grab him and help him off the ice. I walked behind them and once he stepped off the ice, I placed his arm around my shoulder and walked him to my office. He was much taller than me, even without his skates on, so this was interesting.

I sat Geno onto the table and took his helmet off and shined a light into his eyes, going over the possibilities of what he might had. I sighed when I found concision systems and then patted Geno's knee. Matt was already out on lower back injury, and probably would be for at least two more games, but Geno, just by looking at him, his concussion is definitely not as bad as Sidney's but, a concussion is still a concussion and should be taken seriously.

"Как плохо, Кэт?" (How bad, Kat)

"Я не буду знать наверняка, пока ваши МРТ, но я бы сказал, по крайней мере, вы пять или шесть игр, милая," (I won't know for sure until your MRI, but I would say at least you're out five or six games, sweetie) I said as I placed my hand on Geno's shoulder and he sighed, "Прости." (I'm sorry)

"Черт пантеры," (Damn Panthers) he muttered angrily and I helped him off of the table. A player from the Florida Panthers had tripped Geno and he slid into the boards hard, hitting his back first, but then Geno's head whipped back and smashed against the boards.

He sluggishly walked next to me, holding onto me as we walked across the hall into the locker room. I helped Geno out of his gear and then he leaned against the wall totally dazed, that's what happens when you can't control where your head is going to smash. I knelt in front of him and placed my hand on his cheek.

"Geno?" I called but he closed his eyes, "Hey, don't fall asleep, G! You need to stay awake!" I growled, not knowing how bad his injury might be.

"I awake."

"No sweetie, you're falling asleep," I said as I pulled his large frame up and watched his head slump forward, "Come on, buddy, don't fall asleep."

"I not," he said and I watched his eyes close.

I cursed and then pulled my phone out of my pocket and called up the medical center to have an MRI machine ready because we were on our way now. I called one of the assistant coaches in and had him drive Geno to the medical center and I would follow soon, I gave the medical team my name, my staff code, and told them exactly what to do, I couldn't leave until the game was over.

"How's Geno?" Uncle Dan asked as I called him over from the team bench.

"On his way to the medical center for an emergency MRI, he started to pass out on me," I said and Uncle Dan looked worried, "As soon as the games over I'm heading over there."

"No, go now."

"What if someone else is hurt?" I asked and Uncle Dan sighed and then curse.

"All right, we have one more period left, then you head straight over there," he said and I nodded my head.

I stood up in the hallway with Marc because Tomas was in the net tonight, "How's Geno?" he asked and I shook my head, "That bad?"

"Worse than I thought," I said and Marc sighed.

Marc was sitting on a stool and I leaned up on his shoulder and watched the final period of the game.

In the end, the Penguins had beaten the Panthers, but they showed no emotion of excitement once they found out that Geno was seriously hurt. I said bye to the guys and made my way over towards the medical center. I found the assistant coach, Jeff and he told me that they were working on Geno. I nodded my head and then found a nurse and she showed me where to go.

-Sidney-

I got into my car and headed over towards the center where Geno was at, some of the others followed me, we knew Geno was hit hard, but we didn't realize that it was that bad. I was the first to arrive. I found Jeff, the assistant coach, and he pointed me to where Kat was. When I found her, she was on the phone, looking like she was arguing with someone.

"I love you too, but I can't talk right now... No! I'm at the med center... Oh my god I'm fine, stop worrying... Milan, I'm fine, Geno was hurt to-... Shut up you're such a jerk... No-...No-... Well screw you too!" she growled and then slammed the phone shut and shoved it into her pocket.

I hid behind the wall, she hadn't noticed I was there, '...Relationship trouble?...' I thought as I walked out making it look like I had just gotten here, "Kat!"

"Sid," she said and then sadly smiled towards me and I placed my hand on her arm, trying to make it seem like I didn't hear some of her conversation.

"How is he?"

"I don't know, I'm waiting on the results right now," she said while leaning against me.

"What's this?" I asked seeing a bruise start to form on her should, and I moved the shirt a little to see it looked like fingers.

"Oh," she laughed a little and looked up at my confused face, "Geno had a death grip on me, I didn't want to say anything because he was in so much pain."

I nodded my head and let it go, I felt her head on my arm and I sighed and looked down to see that her eyes were closed. I bit my lips because all of a sudden I started to think about the dreams that I've been having about her.

"When was the last time you slept?" I asked her as I tried to stop thinking about the dreams.

"Um, I don't know, I haven't been sleeping well," she said and then I saw her face start to turn a little red.

"How's Dana?" I asked because she told me about how that Sam kid stole basically her whole apartment.

"Scared to be alone, I think she's with her sister now, I texted her saying that I would pick her up on the way home," Kat explained and I nodded my head and saw some of the other guys show up.

-Katrina-

"All right Geno, let me know if you need anything," I said as I laid Geno down on the bed and walked over towards the door.

I was spending the night at Geno's because I didn't want him to be by himself. Sidney was going to stay with me, and I had texted Dana telling her the situation, she decided to stay at her sister's.

"So this is the famous, Jeffrey," I laughed as I looked at the mastiff plopped on the floor as I walked into the living room.

"Yup, this is Geno's man," Sidney laughed as he sat on the couch and scratched the dog's head.

"He's cute," I said as I sat down next to Sidney and watched as he turned on the TV.

"So what do we do?" Sidney asked as he sighed and looked at me.

"Well, you're here to keep me company, I have to check up on Geno every two hours," I said and Sidney looked at me.

"You do this for all the guys?"

"Only the ones that live alone," I said and he nodded his head, "Usually I tell their wives or girlfriends, or really anyone they live with."

"Makes sense."

"Geno lives by himself, so I don't want anything to happen," I answered and Sidney nodded his head, "You know- Hey!" I laughed because Jeffrey jumped up onto me and was rubbing his face onto mine.

"Come on man!" Sidney whined and then pulled Jeffrey off of me, "Sorry, Geno says he does that a lot."

"It's cute," I said and wiped my face down, making sure there was no drool.

"You're good," Sidney said and I laughed and nodded my head.

I looked up to see that he was staring at me, and that magnet was up, Sidney's hand came up and he moved a piece of hair that was in my face and tucked it behind my ear and then leaned in. Our lips were inches apart, my hands were on his chest, I could feel his breath on me, it was like the dreams I've been having were coming true, they were really happening. Sidney had one hand on my neck, tucked under my ear and pulling my head towards him while his other arm laid along the couch next to my body.

"Sid," I muttered as I felt his hand move down my arm and rest on my thigh.

I felt the heat of his hand through my jeans, every hormone in my body was telling me to finish the gap, but my brain was also half reminding me about Milan. My hands were on his neck and I pushed myself up and pressed my body against his, he groaned and moved his hand from my neck down to my waist.

It was going to happen, Sidney was going to kiss me, and I was going to like it, I wanted it. But then this big fluff ball decides that he wants to be in this love fest and plops himself right between us on Sidney's lap. I guess it was for the best. Sidney pushed Jeffrey down again and looked at me, I saw him leaning in against, but I sighed and stood up.

"I should go check on Geno," I muttered as I headed out of the room and turned the corner.

I leaned against the wall and placed my hand over my mouth and then rubbed it, feeling the heat that was almost pressed against my lips. I heard Sidney curse and then mutter 'so close', I looked at the ring on my finger and then remember about the conversation that I had with Milan before. He was saying that we needed to work on our wedding, and wanted to make it for this summer. I didn't know what to do, I loved Milan, but I was finding out that I was falling for Sidney as well.
