Mike then falls down. He grabs my hands and says,
"Your pregnant for sure."
"Yes." I begin crying because I had wanted to hear those words that I was pregnant. Mike begins crying too.
"Well I guess I should take the day off today."
We both laugh. He comes closer and rubs my belly.
"So do you know how far along you are?"
"No but I think I'm 3 weeks."
"Ill call the doctor to make sure so we know exactly when well have our little joy." He taps my nose and calls the doctor.
I rub my belly while he talks. When hes done he comes back over to me and says,
"Yep three and I scheduled an appointment for tomorrow."
"Thanks Mike."
"Your welcome."
He then lightly kisses me.
"So should I take this weekend off."
"You mean miss the game absolutely not."
"Okay."
"So what do you want to do the rest off the day?"
"I'm not sure maybe." his eyes light up light a Christmas tree.
"What?"
"We could invite Lucas , George and their wives to a celebrator dinner."
"That's a great idea and don't tell them now we'll surprise them."
"Yeah."
Mike calls them and they all agree to come to The Palm of course.
**********************************************************************************************************
We walk in to the reserved room and George,Lucas,Helen, and Elaine are already waiting.
George and Lucas get up and hug Mike. They begin to fake cry and Lucas says,
"Man we really missed you."
"We couldn't stand being without you."says George.
They then begin to break down in fake crying. When they finish with their little scene. We sit down and Helen asks,
"So what's this surprise?"
"Well do you want to say it?"
"Sure."
They lean in closer almost like it was a secret.
"Well, I'm pregnant!"
Helen and Elaine scream as I smile. George and Lucas high five Mike and say,
"Nice Job."
"Oh my god oh my god so when is he or she due?" Elaine asks excitedly.
"In August."
"Right before the season starts." says Lucas.
"I know perfect timing."
We all laugh. The waiter comes in and Mike and I order our usual and so do Lucas,Elaine,George and Helen. We talk all through dinner and dessert talking about names ,school, and most importantly sports. When we are a bout finished Lucas asks,
"So what is it going to be figure skating or hockey?"
"Well we want our child to choose." I say
"Well what's the sport you absolutely won't let your child do?' Helen asks.
"Well let's see weightlifting,curling,archery,sailing, that's it really."answers Mike
"Why those?" asks George.
"Because they are boring."
We laugh again. We soon say goodbye. They wish us good luck and Lucas and George ask if Mike is going to be there tomorrow.
"Absolutely."he replies.
Soon we drive home and I think to myself what a perfect day.
