Just One Look

You Did What?!

Nicole's POV:

After hearing that Artemi was in the hospital, I ran out of Starbucks like a bat out of hell and drove like an insane woman through the streets of Chicago to whatever hospital he was taken to. I must have broken every driving law in the book. I literally drove my car like I freaking stole it but, I have to be by my man's side when he needs me there. I got to the hospital and went into the waiting room where I see all of the Blackhawks sitting there and then I see Kane with his head and his head body shaking from his heavy blubbering.

"What's going on with Artemi?" I say not knowing the whole story of how in the hell he managed to end up in the hospital.

"Well, when we were in practice today, Artemi was going for a puck along one of the boards and Patrick decided to mess around with him and check him into the boards which he hit with his head. Artemi fell to the ice and was not moving at all." Anisimov told me while his words were drowned out by Kane's crying.

"You did what?!?!" I say loudly and Kane looks up with tears just pooling down his face. I'm not angry at him but I know he did not do it on purpose. It would be another story if he did, in that case, I would have held him in a chokehold.

"I'm so sorry Nicole. I did not mean for this to happen at all. I just got carried away. Please do not hate me or be mad at me for all this." Kane says engulfing me in the biggest hug and sobbing uncontrollably. I just patted his back and let him cry for a good ten minutes.

"Shhh! Patrick you are absolutely fine. You did not mean to do that. Accidents happen, do not beat yourself up about this. I am in no way shape or form angry or could even hate you over this. You meant no harm. I forgive you, so calm down." I say rubbing his back to get him to calm down.

"Thank You! I guess you are right." Kane says releasing me from his death squeeze of a hug. A moment later a doctor appears in the waiting room where we were all sitting.

"Which one is Artemi's significant other?" Says the doctor whose nametag reads Dr. Kevorkian, who is holding a clipboard.

"Nicole here." Darling says while the rest of the Blackhawks point to me.

"Can you please come with me." Dr. Kevorkian tells me and I follow him down the hallway towards what I assume is Artemi's hospital room.

"How is my fiancé doing?" I ask the doctor while trying to keep my composure so I do not start Kim Kardashian ugly crying.

"Your fiancé is extremely lucky, All he has is a mild concussion and he will have a sore back for a couple weeks due to the him landing on the ice with it. If he would hit his head any harder, he would have been a quadriplegic. To take precaution, your fiancé will be unable to play hockey for about two to three weeks. He needs just to take it easy and not exert himself physically for that period of time." Dr. Kevorkian tells me as he leads me into Aretmi's hospital room. When I walk into the room, I see him laying there and he turns his head towards me and he flashes his always so radiant smile.

"Come here baby, give me a hug and make me feel better." Artemi says as he outstretched his arms to me.

"I'll give you two sometime together. I'll be back in a little bit to come and discharge him from this hospital." Dr. Kevorkian said and he walked out of the room.

"I'm so happy you are ok, Artemi." I say while the tears just start flowing down my face and he shoots me a confused look.

"Whats wrong baby. I am not hurt that bad. I am fine." Artemi says as he rubs my back

"I am just thankful that you are ok baby. I do not want to ever see you be hurt because I could not live with myself if something ever happen to you. You are my rock, my anchor, my everything." I say and Artemi lifts my chin up to where we locked eyes and he gives me a smile.

"Baby, do not worry about me. I am fine. But I promise you I will be more careful on the ice. I need to be your rock, your anchor, and my everything. I have and idea and need your opinion on it." Artemi says as we are now cuddled together on the hospital bed.

"What's that?" I say as I rest my head on his chest and he kisses the top of my head

"Since I will have three weeks off, how about we go on our Russia trip early. I am dying to show you the motherland." Artemi says as he nuzzles his head into my neck.

"I love that idea so much! It will just be me and you and we can just focus on ourselves." I say kissing him on the lips softly.

"Let's go tonight? There's a flight that leaves Chicago for Moscow at midnight and then we get on a connecting flight from Moscow to Chelyabinsk that leaves a couple hours after we arrive in Moscow so we can spend a week visiting my family in Korkino." Artemi says and then all of a sudden Dr. Kevorkian comes back into the room.

"Well Mr.Panarin, you are ready to be discharged. Be sure to take it easy for the next three weeks. No physical exertion or you will be unable to play longer. Make sure your fiancée of yours is a good nurse to you." Dr. Kevorkian says as he helps Artemi off his bed and he shakes his hand.

We leave the hospital and I sped off to our apartment to get packed sort of quickly to make our flight to Moscow that leaves in eight hours. We got to the apartment and started packing enough clothes to last three weeks. About two hours later we hop into an uber and the driver races down the interstate to O Hare airport. After getting all our bags checked, we take a seat near the gate.

"Are you excited to meet my family and go to Russia?" Artemi says while resting his head on my shoulder and looks at me this those sensual puppy dog eyes of his.

"Da darling." I say grabbing his hand and started rubbing it gently

"You will love it. I promise." Artemi says bringing up my hand to his mouth and he gently kisses it.

"Flight 2578 to Domodedevo Airport in the Russian Federation is now boarding.

"I guess it's time to go. I'm going home. Adventure awaits us baby." Artemi says taking me by the hand and leads me to the plane.

"Yes it does" I say
