The Kids Baby
Chapter 6
Week 5: October 5th - October 11th Sidney POV
How am I supposed to tell Jessica about the baby, just say 'oh, I went to your sisters clinic and someone accidentally inserted my sperm into a random surrogate'
"Sid, where are you? You said you needed to tell me something."
"Meet me in the living room I'll be down in a minute" as I make my way into my living room she's sitting there on her phone texting someone smiling. I hope she does not get angry at me. "Hey" I said as I kiss her on the check "I have some news to tell you, you know how I got my sperm tested at your sisters clinic. I went to meet with her the other day and she gave me some surprising news"
"Oh, honey did she say there was something wrong with her swimmers. We don't have to have a baby right now, we can wait a few years." For some reason this unnerved me she looked like she doesn't even want kids.
"No, everything is fine with my 'swimmers', the only problem is that they accidentally inseminated someone and now she is having my baby. I'm suppose to meet with her later. I just wanted you to know."
"Oh, will you have time for a baby, the season just started. And you have me and the team to worry about. She could just get an abortion then there would be no problem."
"We both already agreed to have the baby, and I agreed to help her out whatever time I can give. That's why I'm going to have to cancel our date later, so I can meet with her at her apartment."
"Oh, we'll I just leave you to it. Goodbye" She just stomps away, hopefully the meeting is easier with Ashley later. Maybe I can call Mario and talk to him
Hey Mario it's Sid can we talk??
Sure what's up? I don't know what to do about Ashley and the baby. It's going to get out eventually, and I just want it to be the right way.
Okay. Heres the plan, 1) tell Ashley that you want to have a press meeting preferably on the 9th 2) ask her if she wants to be involved in any way and if she wants her name out there. Then we can go from there. Maybe we could do some PENS TV with you and her.
Thanks Mario I'll ask her. I'll let you know after.
Good Luck
Ashley POV
Sidney is supposed to be here in half and hour and I have no idea what to make for food. Maybe just some pasta, oh Chicken Alfredo with broccoli sounds about good.
Oh, it smells so good compared to everything that has been making me sick. KNOCK KNOCK. Oh he is here, "coming" as I rush to the door and I open it he is just standing there looking cute. OMG FOCUS Ashley "Come in, make yourself at home, I just need to go get lunch off of the stove" I rush into the kitchen and make two bowls of chicken Alfredo, "Uh, thanks." I hear him say.
As I make my way back into the living room I see him looking at all my family photos. And one caught his eyes, "Those are all my baby cousins"
"Sorry"
"Its fine, I have a huge family. Come sit on the couch and eat. What would you like to talk about."
"So I was talking to Mario, and he had me thinking about how to tell everyone that I am going to have a child. And I was wondering if it is okay at the next game or press meeting to mention your name and the baby."
"That's fine with me, do you need me to be there. I know you like to have your own privacy and stuff."
"I do like my privacy, but I feel that if people feel like I keep you hidden they will become more aggressive and invasive. Plus the stress won't be good for you or me."
"Sounds good so how do you want to play this. Just mention that 'oh I'm expecting a child in June' or something along those lines"
"I was thinking of just mentioning it on the 9th during the morning skate, and then later on we could do something on PENS TV"
"That sounds good to me, there is one concern I have. When I talked to the doctor at my last appointment she said that my due date would be in June and I know that there are playoff games around that time "
"Crap, you're right. We could probably set something else up with some of the WAGS if i'm not there or have either of our families come stay down with us. Do you have any idea what we should do after the baby is born regarding houses."
"I was thinking the first couple of months we should definitely be in the same place, but I just don't know where. This apartment is hardly ideal for 2 adults and a new born baby."
"We could have a place set up in my house. I have enough room for at least 4 other people. It would be no problem, and we can just work it out as we go."
"That sounds good, I have an idea for after the press conference either me or maybe the Penguins twitter could release a picture of a baby Crosby onesie"
"That does sound good, I'll let Mario know he'll like it. Do you think I could send a picture of you to my parents?"
"Sure let's take one and you can send it."
"That looks good. When do you want to meet next"
"Does the 18th sound good."
"Sure, I'll watch the press conference. Good Luck in you next few days" As I walk him to the door he give me a hug and a kiss on the head. "i'll see you both soon"he says as he looks down at my flat stomach. As I close the door I let out a breath of air. Oh I was so nervous, I should have asked when I could move in, it can wait until the 18th.
