Of Hearts and Hockey Sticks

~six weeks later, start of training camp~
Dan:"Alright team we have to protect the title this year! Give me 23-87-14.... Wait a minute, Kelsi why aren't you in full gear?"
Kelsi:"I can't do contact practice, doctors orders."
Dan:"What type of injury is it? How long will you be out?"
Kelsi:"it's not an injury..... I'm pregnant."
Team:(shocked)
Dan:(shocked)"when were you and Sid planning on telling me?"
Kelsi:"um....today."
Dan:"How far along are you?"
Kelsi:"Two months today."
Dan:"that would put your due date in, what? April?"
Kelsi:"Yeah. April 5th"
Dan:"So you're gonna miss the whole season."
Kelsi:"Yes. I'm sorry."
Dan:"Don't apologize! God has given you a gift. My only concern is how the rest of the league will react."
Kelsi:"So are we. People won't be kind."
Dan:"You're right. But just know that I support you and I'm pretty sure the rest of the organization will have your back as well."
Kelsi:"Thanks Dan"
Dan:"You're welcome. Now on with training camp!"
~later that day~
Kelsi:"I'm glad Dan wasn't upset."
Sid:"I told you he'd be understanding."
Kelsi:"I know you did."
Sid:(smiles)"So when is your friend supposed to get in?"
Kelsi:" once he's done filming his new tv show."
Sid:"I thought you said he was a singer?"
Kelsi:"He is. But he's doing a TV show."
Sid:"Oh. Ok, well I'm excited to meet him."
Kelsi:"Good. I hope you guys get along, I can't bear to lose one of you"
Sid:"I'm sure we'll get along just fine."
Kelsi:"Ok. Can we go to bed? I'm really tired."
Sid:"Sure thing baby."
~they head to bed~
