Hockey Imagines

Michael McLeod (New Jersey Devils)

** this was requested by @hockeylosers **

You and Michael had known each for years. As the two of you grew up, the bond between you continued you to grow as well and nothing could come between the two of you. When you were in high school you decided to make the transition from just best friends to dating your best friend and it was the best thing to ever happen to you.

Michael was drafted by the New Jersey Devils but plays for their affiliate. Nonetheless, you are still so proud of how far he's come. A few months ago you found out that you were expecting and you and Michael were so excited. It didn't matter to the two of you that you were still young. You knew you wanted forever and this was just one step closer to that. Things haven't exactly been easy for you though. Even though you were into your second trimester, your morning sickness would not go away, if anything it got stronger. Michael has been absolutely amazing though. He gets you anything you need but just having his support has made things a lot easier. He is going to be an amazing dad.

You were laying in bed one day just relaxing because it was one of those days. Michael was due back from practice shortly so you could cuddle and watch a movie or two. As you laid there you felt a really strong kick and you immediately smiled. Michael walked into the room.

"C'mere." You said and he came over and you placed his hand right where the baby kicked.

"What..." Kick. You watch the smile grow on Michael's face and his eyes became watery with tears of joy. "Wow, that's... incredible."

"That's our baby."

"He's got some strong legs and one hell of a kick. We may have a soccer player on our hands."

"Maybe," You smiled and Michael leaned down and placed a soft kiss on your lips. The baby kicked again causing you to pull apart and laugh. Michael leaned down and pressed a kiss to your belly,

"We love you too peanut."
