Wrenn P.O.V
It’s been a week not talking to James outside the CEC and tonight they were playing against the Wild. Dan and I were watching the game and I could feel him watching me a little.
“Dan you know that I can see you watching me.” I look at him.
“It’s just you change since you came back. Yes Neal did something stupid but you don’t have to be that way to him. I think you know this but James does kiss the ground where you step on. He’s trying to make you happy in every other way. Now I have know James close to four years now. Please give him and another chance.” After the game I needed to take a ride around Pittsburgh. Take in the cold wind brushing my face. When I came back down to Earth. I was on James’ drive way and it looks like James isn’t home yet. So I park my car and walk on to the footstep to the house. It was a little cold outside, yes I do have the key but I think that I am going to wait for James outside.
(James)
After having a couple of beers and heading home. I see Wrenn’s car in my drive way.
‘What is she doing here?’ I ask to myself. After I park my car I went around and see her on the footsteps. Wrap her self with her jacket and was asleep. I pick her up and went inside the house. When I set her down on the my bed, I walk into my bathroom, change and went to check up on her. She was dead asleep, I pulled the chair that I have in the corner of my room and watch her sleep. It’s been awhile since I have seen her asleep. Why did she come over here? I though she didn’t wanted me to talk to her until I get back on the ice. Right now to me I have her in my house, in my bed sleeping and all I want to do is kiss her good night. I place my lips on to her forehead and went to the couch.

In the morning I heard nothing, dead quiet. I get up from the couch and I see that Wrenn made the bed, then left. When I went back into the kitchen I see a note on the whiteboard on the frig.
“James, I wanted to talk to you about my actions last night. But I feel asleep my night shiny amour save me from the cold. Had to leave really for work, hope we can talk after practice. Love Wrenn.” I kept the note She called me her night shiny amour. Going to the rink was quicker than I though since I have a purpose of going. Wrenn is waiting for me and she wanted to tell me something. While on the red light I was hearing the Fan and listening to Wrenn’s voice. She sound like she’s happy and I hope she sounds like that when we talk later. When I got to CEC I got a text from Wrenn saying that she can’t be at CEC but she will bring dinner at my place. I wanted practice to go quickly. When I got back to my place, I see that Wrenn was already there. When I walk into the kitchen, I can smell the pizza which was in the oven. Her heels by the front door. Going into the kitchen I see two beers and plate set up for them to eat. I couldn’t find her anywhere but the sound of her voice was small. Looking around for her I hear her voice more strong when I walk closer to the spare bathroom. When she open the door I kinda scared her a little.
“James! You scared me I didn’t know when you were coming home from practice.” We walk back into the kitchen. As I sat down Wrenn got the pizza out of the oven. While she was cutting I think she can feel me watching her. She set down a plate for me with pizza and a salad.
“So what do you want to talk about?”
“Well after I ripped your head off during the Blue Jackets game Potash told me that I change since the cancer thing.He said and I quote "Yes Neal did something stupid but you don’t have to be that way to him. I think you know this but James does kiss the ground where you step on. He’s trying to make you happy in every other way.” Unquoted, so after the game I took a drive around the city and I was thinking of all the bad things that happen to me before I met you. I haven’t had any good luck with any kind of relationship. When that situation happen in Boston I couldn’t stop thinking all of the bull shit that I have been through. So what I am trying to say that I am sorry for what happen yesterday.” I let out a huge sign of relief. I hover over the table and kiss her lips.
“Thanks.” During our late lunch we were having a good time talking about a lot of things that we can think from the tops of our heads.
“Have you talked to Wade?”
“No, I don’t know when he will ever call me back. I know that he’s mad at me because I choose to stay here instead of going with him. But I think I pick a good choice.” I couldn’t stop looking at her hair, lately she has been covering it up with a hat for a while now.
“I think you look great with short hair and not a lot of girls can pull it off.”
“I don’t know I had my hair long all my life but I kinda like it short.” She took off the hat and ran her fingers threw it. Then it became quiet but the sound of Wrenn taping her beer glass with her fingers.
“So I heard from some people from work that Vinnie might not come back after the new year and might put me in full time.”
“That’s great news Wrenn I think you should take it.”
“I don’t know about that?”
“Why?”
“That means I can’t be on Root Sports anymore and I can’t travel with you and the guys on the team.”
“You will still see me after the games and when I come back. You said it your self that you wanted to be on radio. Watching her smile made winning the Stanley Cup not being on the list that would make me happy.
“I miss you and that smile.”
“Me too. I have been in my own dark bubble for a while and I need to thanks Potash for popping it for me.” We walk over to the living room with the wine glasses and talked a little more. I moved in closer to Wrenn and I could feel that she was having the same feelings that I was having.
“I just miss you in this house. You made this house feel like a home than just a simple house.”
“Thanks and I kinda miss it to. I love the Kuni family it’s just there’s a lot of toys everywhere and I sometime step on Zachary’s G.I.Joe figures in the morning when I am trying to get ready for work. Or Peyton hiding my phone from me so I can help her with her pony tail.”
“That dork.”
“Yep. I was wondering if I could spend the night here again since I told them that I was coming here anyway.”
“Sure.” While we were watching T.V she had her head on my shoulder and her right hand on the thigh.
“I do miss this. The quiet sometimes when I needed it. I mean I do love Zach,Peyton and Aubrey but sometime it would be nice to have some quiet.”
“Then you should back here then if you miss the quiet then.”
“I just moved out, it’s too soon for us.”
“You moved out two months ago but to me it felt like two years.”
“I’ll think about it but I should get some sleep.” She got up from the couch and right before she was farther from me. I grab her hand and pulled her back to me.
“Not without a good night kiss.” The kiss felt amazing and maybe it would help her make up her mind about moving back again. That night when I am bed and it felt weird having her back home even thou she’s not in the same bed with me. Once I close my eyes, I was out like a light.


"Daddy, daddy you need to wake up.” When I open my eyes I see a small boy with blue eyes like me but with Wrenn’s smile.
“Jer let daddy sleep he got home pretty late from the game.” I can hear Wrenn talking to the boy. Then all of a sudden I open my eyes and I see that Wrenn is helping the boy putting on his hockey pads.
“I’m scared.” He told Wrenn.
“Jeremy Quinn, what is your last name?”
“Neal.”
“You know what Neal aren't.”
“What?”
“They aren’t scared of anything. Mommy and Daddy are going to be up in the stands going to cheer you on. When you get a goal we will take you out for ice cream how about that.” The smile came back on his face when he heard ice cream.
“Give daddy a kiss and head on to the ice.” He starts walking over to me.
“Good luck buddy.” Then I Wrenn was standing next to me.
“James I’m ready to move in."
