The Athlete, The Rockstar, and The Hostess

Chapter 42

Kasen POV

*Two Weeks Later

"Babe, you've got to get out of bed...." I say, concerned about my wife.

It's been two weeks since the Entertainment News interview and the paparazzi have had a field day with it. The magazine headlines are insanely cruel or personal, the cameras follow us around non-stop, and we get calls every day about more interviews.

She pokes her cute face from underneath the covers, "no!" she pouts.

"Babe! You need to...please don't make me worry about you," I beg.

She huffs before coming out of the bed, "fine but only for you..."

I touch her stomach, "and our baby..."

Ads smiles before kissing me deeply before reaching down and touching her bump, "I can't believe I'm showing this much already..."

I shrug, "the baby books said since it's not your first child that you may start showing sooner."

"Do we have to do ESPN tonight?"

I sigh, "yes baby, we've rescheduled like five times now. And, since you're out of the first trimester, I think we should break the news. It might even change up the headlines...."

"Okay fine, I'll go. But only if you shower with me.." She smirks.

I bite my lip, growling, grabbing her by her hips and smashing my growing erection onto her pelvic area.

"Let's go..." I lead her to the shower and warm the water.

"Strip," I order.

She smiles seductively, biting her bottom lip before removing her clothes.

She walks over, taking my clothes off of me, and staring at my naked body.

An hour of shower sex later, we finally clean ourselves off and get dressed for ESPN.

We arrive at the studio, and I make sure to grab her hand tightly, comforting her. She's not a shy person, but she doesn't like the attention that a celebrity would get. Luckily for her, I'm a professional athlete and besides a few ad campaigns, interviews, and events, I'm not much in the spotlight.

The interview goes great, and I'm thankful for the host, Mike, for his obvious support on our side of things. Before it's over I want to announce the news.

"Mike one last thing before we go.." I smile at Adeline, and she gives me a breathtaking smile back.

"Adeline and I are so thrilled to announce that we are expecting another baby!" I can't help but let the smile take over my entire face.

"Congrats you guys, that's great!" Mike exclaims. A few answers about the baby later and we wrap up the segment.

Adeline and I slip on our sunglasses and meet our security escorts at the door, preparing for the insane paparazzi. Right as we walk out, we are bombarded with questions, camera flashes, yelling, microphones.

Some of the paparazzi is nice, the rest are nasty, and I can tell it's taking a toll on Adeline. I'm worried about her handling the disgusting and mean rumors being spread about her, and the invasion of her private life. I need to make sure to do something to get her mind off of things, but I don't have much time until hockey season is over. Regular season is over in about another month, and depending on the playoffs, I'll start to plan something special for us.

*The Next Day

"Dude, I can't believe all the craziness going on," Hans comments as we walk into practice, getting surrounded by the paps.

I roll my eyes, "you have no clue..."

Once we enter the arena, there's no paps allowed, so it's quiet and safe to speak.

"How's Ads doing with everything?" Hans asks.

"She's doing the best she can. She knows the rumors and headlines aren't true, she knows she's a great, loving, caring person..but it's hard for her to hear those things over and over."

Hans shakes his head, "man, I'd love to put those guys in their place. Have you heard at all from Axel?"

"No, which is worse. He made this huge spectacle, so the fact that he's lying low and out of the public eye is concerning."

"That guy is such a little bitch," Hans pounds his fist into his other palm, "I'd love to get my hands on that disrespectful motherfucker."

I chuckle, "dude you have no fucking idea."

The coach blows the whistle, "alright boys, let's start.."

Axel POV

That stupid fucking prick...he got MY Adeline pregnant?!?!?!

How did all this drama bring them closer? I went on the show and did all of that hoping to gain her attention but it hasn't worked.

I thought she'd yell at me, or feel bad and talk to me, or something. I didn't expect her to get knocked up again by that asshole.

'I need a new plan,' I think to myself before sitting down with a cup of coffee and start from scratch.
