“That’s not fair. I don’t spend every spare minute playing video games like the rest of you!” Jamie yelled. Her, Sid, Geno, Letang, and Olli, who she dragged along, were at Fleury’s house playing on his PS4.
“We don’t spend every spare minute playing video games,” Letang told her, “You just need to get better at them.”
“ ‘How to get punch in the face’ a short story by Kris Letang,” Flower said.
“I don’t hit teammates Flower,” Jamie told them still trying to kill Sid.
“Really?” Olli asked, “You hit me all the time.”
“You’re special, coconuts!” she yelled as she missed another attempt.
“Wow, you’re worst then Sid, and that’s hard to do,” Kris said just as Jamie’s phone went off.
“I forfeit,” she told the guys as she got up to answer her phone. She saw a name she was not expecting, since it was the offseason for their sport.

“What do you want Thomas?” she asked rather annoyed.
“You need to save your brother,” he responded.
“Why, where are you guys anyway, isn’t it the offseason?”
“Yes but a couple of us went out to a club in Berlin and your brother is trying to get with a gold digger.”
“And he’s not listening to any of you?”
“No, I even told him you wanted to talk and he wouldn’t budge.”
“Alright, tell him I am pregnant with Olli Maatta’s child and I have no idea what to do.”
“WHAT!” Olli yelled along with some of the guys who weren’t laughing.
“His stupidity should block out the common sense part that would tell him we would never do something like that,” Jamie said as she felt someone collide with her back.
“Why would you say that?” Olli asked frantic.
“Be quiet, I’m saving my brother’s behind,” she told him, loud enough for the other guys to hear her.
“JAMIELYN MARIE CAROLYN JOKINEN!” Malik Jokinen shouted into the phone, “HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW THIS WILL AFFECT BOTH OF YOU! LET ALONE RUIN YOUR CAREER JAMIELYN!”
“WOW, he sounds ticked,” Olli, said.
“He is, now give me a second,” Jamie said turning back to her phone since her brother quite yelling, “Listen Malik, your teammates are older then you and know better, so stop being so stubborn and listen to them. Also don’t go calling me stupid when you forget that Olli is pretty much my fourth brother.”
“That doesn’t mean anything.”
“Yes it does, shut up Crosby before I whack you.”
“What?”
“Forget it. Now don’t you have a girlfriend or something?”
“We broke up two months ago.”
“Oh, sorry. I have to go.”
“Bye Jamie.”
“Bye Mal. AND I AM NOT PREGNANT!”

Once she hung up, Jamie turned to see four laughing hockey players and one very annoyed Olli Maatta. The annoyed Maatta was something she was use to, but the laughing teammates, well lets just say she was close to punching all of them.

“So,” Sid said still laughing, “You two are having a kid?”
“NO!” Olli yelled obviously not amused by Jamie’s idea of getting her brother’s attention.
“I had to save Malik’s back, it was the first think I could think of to get his attention. Olli, your phone is going to ring in 3…2…1.” Jamie said just as his phone range.
“Here,” he said giving the phone to Jamie, “It’s Xander.”
“Hey Xander,” she said with a smile on her face.
“Jamielyn, put Maatta on the phone. Oh, I’m going to kill him when I see him,”
Xander Jokinen ranted.
“You know, you’re as stupid as Malik. I thought you were better than that.”
“What are you talking about? Malik just called me telling me you were pregnant, oh…”
“Took you longer than I thought it would. I thought you were the smart one.”
“So you’re not pregnant and I don’t have to kill Olli?”
“No, now if you could tell Ali not to call us I think we can move on now.”
“Alright, bye James.”
“See you Xander.”

“Well that was interesting,” Letang said as they returned to playing their game.
“If by interesting you mean hilarious,” Flower said.
“It wasn’t that funny, her brothers will probably kill me now,” Olli muttered.
“You’re kidding right?” Malkin asked.
“You’re fine Ol, I explained everything to Xander,” Jamie said, “Now we are going to beat some Red Wings.”
“What. No strange name?” Sid asked.
“Nope, not feeling it,” she said.

The next days were spent getting ready for the Red Wings game. It ended in favor of Penguins and put a nice feel in the locker room after that shut out from the Canucks.
