No More Tooth - Jack Hughes

Edited 01/03/2025

In honor of Jack officially becoming a pro hockey player HAHA

Carla was at the game and watched Jack get hit with a puck. She gasped before watching him get up without any blood. However, he was missing something.

"Oh. My. God." One of the WAGs said. "Where's Jack's tooth?" They all looked at each other before all bursting out in laughter.

Carla looked up to see Jack looking at her from the bench. He smiled like a kid and pointed to his tooth, looking all giddy. She copied and showed off her tooth, to which he pouted at her before his line went on. 

After the game

Carla was scrolling through Bardown's Instagram comments on a post about Jack's tooth and laughed at all the puck bunnies comments. They're not exactly uncommon when it comes to him.

"He should get it fixed!"
"I miss that perfect smile :("

She was scrolling for only a minute before she felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. Carla turned around to see the one and only Jack Hughes. She brought his top lip up and looked at his non-existent tooth while he laughed. 

"It's gone." She said sarcastically, her eyes widened. Jack smacked her head lightly. "Have you seen the puck bunnies yet?"

"No why? What are they saying?" The brunette asked, pulling out his phone. Carla showed him the comments and all he did was laugh. "Holy shit." He said between laughs.

They walked out to his car while talking about the game. Jack suddenly stopped and turned to her.

"What?" She asked with a worried tone.

"Look!" Jack said with his eyes widened. He pulled out a small baggy with what looked like a tooth inside. "I kept it!"

"Oh my God!" Carla exclaimed, laughing hard. "You actually kept it?" I asked.

"Oh yeah I did! I've already gotten calls from Quinn and Trev asking about it." Jack replied.

"Well have you seen Luke's interview?"

"No, why?"

"One of the interviewers asked what if he thought you were more of a hockey player now that you've lost a tooth. Luke was definitely holding something back." 

As soon as they were in the car and Jack had his phone connected to car play, he dialed Luke's number and called him. While the phone was ringing, they pulled out of the parking lot while Jack made her protect his "trophy tooth."

"What do you want, Rowdy?" Luke asked through the phone.

"Shut up. Also, what were you holding back in that interview?" Jack asked him while Carla scrolled through more comments, chuckling at a few.

"Ohh that." The younger brother replied, thinking for a second. "Oh yeah! I almost said that you look like a bit of a doofus. But it's a good thing. That way you know you're a hockey player."

"Oh ha ha. Thank you." The older brunette said sarcastically.

"Love you bro."

"Love you too." Jack hung up and pouted at Carla when they were at a light. "Do I look like a doofus?"

"Of course you don't love. You're still my pretty boy." She kissed his lips and his beautiful smile came back.

Home

Jack went to bed before Carla did since he was exhausted, and she was up planning something. Jack has always been a child at heart, loving everything from parks to holidays to occasions like losing a tooth.

He told her a story a few years ago about how Ellen, his mom, would take his tooth and put it in a container or something after the tooth fairy put money under his pillow. He didn't know until he was older obviously, but he loved it. 

So Carla being Carla, she put money under his pillow and put his tooth in a tiny container and put it on his night stand with a note. She went to bed with a smile on her face.

Next morning

This morning Jack woke up to Carla gone. He smelt something in the kitchen and heard music, telling him she was cooking. He reached over to grab his phone and felt a container sitting on his nightstand. 

Jack sat up and looked in the container to see his tooth that he had lost in the game last night. Confused, he read the note.

Jack,

I remember you telling me a story about your childhood. You told me that when you lost a tooth, your mom would put it in a container or something and keep it for when you got over. She hid the money under your pillow anyways and you told me how happy that made you. So, I recreated that. Check under your pillow ❤️

Sincerely,

Carla

Jack smiled when he finished reading and checked under his pillow to see money there. He laughed quietly before sneaking out of the room to the kitchen. He silently walked in and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist.

"Hi." Jack whispered in her hair and kissed the top of her head. 

"Hi." She whispered back, spinning around and kissing her. It's now or never, Jack.

"I have a very important question to ask you." Jack said. Carla asked him what it was before he dropped down onto one knee, pulling out a ring. Her hands flew to her mouth. "I've had this ring for months. When I first met you, I knew you were the one. I had just gotten drafted first round and I was insanely nervous. I didn't show it on camera but I almost couldn't take it. You were sitting in the small diner, overworking yourself in homework with high school. My geeky self came over and asked if I could sit with you. We got into conversation and eventually, I asked you out. I went home and immediately told Quinn that I had met the love of my life. Fun fact: he actually helped me with our first date. Even after my rookie season where I almost quit multiple times, you stood by me the entire time. I can't do anything to thank you enough for everything. You know me better than anyone else. Even today, that brought back memories and I'm so happy. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I couldn't see anyone else. So, will you marry me?"

"I- yes!" Carla said with tears in her eyes. Jack put the ring on her finger, stood up, and kissed her. After a few seconds, they pulled away and Carla started laughing.

"What?" He asked her with a confused look.

"That's so weird. Kissing you without the tooth." She laughed.

"No more tooth." Jack said, smiling like a dumbass.

"No more tooth." Carla replied, kissing him.
