~One night leading to a lifetime (ice hockey)~

Move in with me?

I'm currently on the road to Boston, I woke up this morning alone in my bed because Abby is travelling down later today as she has a breakfast meeting with Sharon this morning so will travel back home tomorrow with her. I hate waking up without Abby in my arms, I feel empty, that's why I'm going to ask her to moving in with me, our house layout is identical so we could either move into mine or hers and it feel the exact same, plus if we don't find a family home before the babies born we have an empty room attached to the masters which could be the nursery.

I remember the first time I came to Boston with Abby, James and Sharon it was my second season with the team and they messed up the booking system, meaning me and Abby had to share and double bed. We went to sleep on either side but woke up in the middle all tangled together, she apologised for invading my space when I calmly mentioned we both rolled over in our sleep otherwise we would be on one side of the bed. Just thinking about waking up to her drool and bed head every morning fills me with so much joy, knowing I love her makes everything so much better. Those three little powerful words have been on the tip of my tongue for a while now I just need to actually say them.

I get a call while most lads are sound asleep on the coach from my love, "hey, baby", "hey, babe, how did you sleep?" She always asks me how I slept, I think its really cute, "I sleep better when your in my arms, but good, you? How's our baby?", "I slept well and he's doing fine", she's convinced its a boy, but I'm convinced it's a girl, but either way I'm over the moon. "Tell our baby girl that daddy loves her", "I've told our son how much we love him and that you'll give him a kiss when you see him" I laugh at every time she stress the words son or him, to the point I woke James up who was asleep on my shoulder, "think about this before I go and tame sleepy James, I want to move in together either at yours or at mine, I want to wake up by your side every morning", "no need to think, move in with me, I've already got my office set up", "I'll call the realtor to sell my place, I'll see you later baby" I rest the phone between my shoulder and my ear as I look up the realtors number on my laptop, "alright I'll see you later babe, if I don't get the chance to you'll smash it tonight."

I hang up the phone with the biggest goofiest smile on my lips, when Baylor turned around, "what's got you smiling like the then Cap?", they call me Cap for two reasons, one because I am captain and two because I permanently have a cap on, even once in the bedroom with Abby (apparently it turns her on and who am I to deny her of that pleasure) "nothing, just my girl. We're moving in together", both James and Baylor looked at me with a smirk, "what now?", "oh, nothing Cap, its just you look really happy", I smile to myself, "that's because I am happy, very happy actually, I mean i've got a gorgeous, intelligent girl and a baby on the way..." I was interrupted by a roar, "you're going to be a dad" ahh shit Abbies going to kill me, "yeah, we were trying to keep it a secret but apparently I'm not a good secret keeper". 

After many congratulations, the teams resident asshole Jake Quinn spoke, "the pussy must be good to tame you, Cap", I balled my hands into a fist before call stating "MY girl, is much more than just a quick fuck, she is pregnant with my child, she is my future, a lot of you guys thought/think I'm a player or one night kind of guy, but your wrong, I have been with two girls in my life, one of them is locked up and the other is Abby. I will not tolerate any crap from my own team about my relationship/relationship status." Then coach spoke up "right dickheads, leave Cap alone, get your heads in the game for tonight these are top of the league, so it ain't going to be easy".

Once Abby arrived I was in the locker room in my gym gear, just about to hit the shower, it was only me here at the moment all the other guys are either eating or with family, whereas I eat a snack pregame and feast post game. I sat down on the bench when my eyes were cover by two tiny hands, "guess who?", "oh, I don't know, maybe my girl", "correct" she almost squealed as I picked her up bridal style spinning her around, "I missed you baby" I said kissing her and then to the bump. After my shower I see Quinn leaning up against my locker with his hands on my girl, who looks very uncomfortable, "ahh Archer, care to share this beauty?", "never, get the fuck away from her" I ripped him away from her, he held his hands up and walked off. "Are you ok? Did he touch the baby?" She placed her hands on my chest, "I'm fine baby, so is the baby", "about the baby, the team knows, I'm so sorry it kind of just slipped out." "That's fine I'm surprised you've kept the secret this long" I laugh at her words before planting a passionate kiss on her lips.
