Trouble in Paradise

“There she is!” I heard Kunitz yell in the crowded hotel lobby. I felt my cheeks flush and everyone’s eyes on me. “It’s about time you joined us. Dang, you look terrible.” He joked. I gave him a death glare and dropped my bag on his foot. He let out a small curse.
“Next time don’t tell a girl she looks terrible.” I laughed as Kunitz was still holding onto his foot. My bag wasn’t nearly heavy enough to have actually hurt him. Though, his comment about looking terrible was true. Geno had kept me up all night and I was exhausted. I had my hair up in a messy bun, Geno’s sweatshirt from the night before and a pair of yoga pants. I just couldn’t wait to be on the plane and back home for a little bit of girl time with Tyler. I hadn’t talked with her much during the last few days. I saw the bus pull up in front of the hotel and quickly grabbed my bags and set them on the cart with the other bags. Then I got on the bus. I sat down in the front and waited for Geno to join me. When he sat down next to me I immediately laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. The twenty minute cat nap was great, especially since we’d be stuck at the airport for at least a half hour if not longer due to our plane being delayed. I left a voicemail for Ty letting her know that I’d be late getting back to the apartment.
“K, you take nap?” Geno asked sitting down in the chair next to me. “I wake you when plane here.” I nodded before laying my head on Geno’s lap and falling back asleep.
“Tyler I’m home!” I yelled dropping my bags on the floor by the front door. I heard her come running from what I assumed was her bedroom.
“Kellie!” She yelled jumping into my arms. I hugged her tightly.“I missed you so much! There’s so much that I have to tell you.” She said getting off me. She grabbed my hand and led me into her bedroom. On her bed was three familiar looking boxes. “So, while you were gone I took some tests. I know I said I’d wait but I couldn’t take it anymore I had to know and well here just look at them yourself.” She said shoving me closer to them.
“You’re going to have a baby?!” I yelled, people in China probably heard me.
“Shh.” She laughed. “Beau doesn’t know yet. I was kind of hoping to tell him tonight.” I was a tad bit shocked that she told me before she told Beau. Well I guess I could see where she was coming from. I didn’t tell Kane he could possibly have been a father. Sid and Jonny were and still are the only ones who know anything about it.
“Speaking of babies.” I said with a slight laugh. Tyler’s face got a really excited look on her face.
“Are you pregnant too?” She asked. “That’s so awesome. Our babies will be best friends! Just like us!”
“Ty, calm down. I’m not pregnant. Kane and I slept together and we had a little pregnancy scare. None of the Chicago guys are talking to me because of it. You and Sidney are the only ones who know about it from here.” I explained laying down on the bed next to her. She moved closer to me.
“It’s their loss, It’ll be okay. I promise you. They’ll come around soon.” I knew she was trying to cheer me up. I just hoped that she was right. I don’t know what I would do without them.
“So I have to tell you something else.” I said continuing to stare at the celling. She rolled over onto her stomach and looked at me a smile on her face.
“Geno and I got together while we were gone.” I tried not to smile, mostly because I wanted to see her reaction but I failed miserably. Tyler lunged herself at me and landed on my chest, hugging me as best as she could. I could tell she was happy for me. I knew after everything that happened with Geno, it would be tough for her to accept it but I think she was on the path to forgiving him just like I had. Ty and I laid on the bed for a few more hours just talking. I only got up to answer the door.
“Beau. How nice of you to come by.” I said letting him in. He seemed to be preoccupied with something.“Tyler! Beau is here.” I yelled. “I’m heading out I probably won’t be back tonight.” I said with a slight smile. I was really excited to spend some more time with Geno.
“Evgeni!” I yelled walking through the front door, taking my shoes off before I got further into his house. Geno was notorious for making people take their shoes off before they were able to get past the foyer. It’s a Russian tradition. I heard him grunt from somewhere upstairs. My guess would be his bedroom, he spent most of his time there anyways. I climbed his giant staircase and entered his bedroom. He was laying across his bed, taking up the entire thing. I couldn’t help but laugh to myself. He had on an Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt that I bought him a few years ago and a pair of gray sweatpants.
“You stay night?” He asked barely lifting his head off the pillow.
“Yeah, G. I’ll stay all night.” I said climbing on top of him, my butt resting on his. I gently tugged on his t-shirt and he slipped it off barely moving an inch. I grabbed one of the massage oils off of his bedside table and poured it in my hands, rubbing them together to warm it up. I started up along Geno’s shoulders and slowly worked my way down his back. Geno moaned as I worked the many knots out of his back.
“Feel good.” He mumbled with his eyes closed. I smiled to myself as I worked my way down to the lowest part of his back. Geno moved so that his back was on the bed and I was sitting on his stomach. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me down to his chest and kissed my forehead. “I glad you girlfriend.” He whispered into my ear. I was thankful that he was my boyfriend. After everything that we had been through I was finally happy with the man that I loved. After a while of me laying with my head on his chest, listening to his breathing I heard it even out, he was finally asleep. The media had been especially rough on him during this road trip. He was going through a bit of a scoring drought and I knew it was really affecting him mentally. He was getting more and more stressed with each game that he remained scoreless in. I tried to comfort him but before the massage nothing seemed to be working. I laid there for a few more minutes before I tried to get up. Geno just pulled me tighter to his chest.
“Stay. I no sleep without you.” He mumbled. I sighed, knowing I wouldn’t be moving anytime soon. I took the time to really study his face. He looked exhausted I ran my fingers through his hair and over his cheek.
“Go sleep.” He mumbled turning onto his side. I was now laying so that my back was pressed up against his chest, his legs were tangled with mine. I smiled to myself before cuddling closer to his body and falling into a peaceful sleep.
When I woke up it was still dark out, and the clock on the nightstand said five am. Geno was still sleeping next to me. I quietly slipped out of bed and grabbed one of his dress shirts off the floor and slipped it on. I decided to surprise Geno with a breakfast in bed and quickly got to work in the kitchen. Geno came thumping down the stairs half an hour later.
“Smell good.” He said wrapping his arms around me and laying his chin on my shoulder. I scooped the eggs onto a plate and set them on the counter. “You hot. Wear shirt more often.” He winked. I blushed at the comment and handed him the plate. We had just sat down at the island in the kitchen when a knock interrupted us. Geno got up but I quickly put my hand on his and told him that I’d get it.
“You no get door like that.” He said pointing up and down at me. I rolled my eyes. I knew it would end up being one of his teammates so I wasn’t really sure why it mattered.
“It’s probably just one of your teammates.” I said placing my hands on his shoulders and forcing him back into the seat.
“More reason you no open door.” He groaned, but eventually gave up and quit arguing. I quickly made my way to the front door and opened it. Neal stood before me, his hands in his pockets.
“Bout time you opened the damn door.” He laughed. I rolled my eyes and ushered him into the house. “G! How are you going to let your girl answer the door like that?!” He laughed taking the seat next to Geno. I handed him an empty plate and watched as he filled it up with food.
“You no eat?” Geno asked his eyebrow raised. I shook my head no. He gave me a confused look but didn’t say anything else about it. I quickly cleaned up the dirty dishes from breakfast and loaded them into the dishwasher. When I came back downstairs the boys were sitting on the couch in the living room watching a rerun of last week’s game.
“Jamie!” I called grabbing an apple and a bottle of water out of the fridge. “Are you ready to go?” I watched as he got up off the couch and put his shoes on.
“Were you go?” Geno asked as I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“I have to go to class and James already had to go to the rink so I just asked him to take me. That way you can spend the whole day relaxing.” I gave him another cheek and told him goodbye as James and I walked out to his Bentley.
“I don’t think this is such a good idea.” He said as he started the car.
