This Changes Everything - a Patrick Kane fanfic

Chapter seven

"You what?!?" My sister asked in shock

"I don't know... It all happened so fast and we were alone, with no distractions. He led my had the whole flight back home, but the second we landed he let go.."

"Did it seem like he cared or showed any interest "

"Yeah... After the first time, it was awkward, but we talked and I really got to know him.... He treated me like I was a princess... He carried me through a blizzard, bought all our meals when I offered to pay, knew my favorite smoothie, took care of bringing all our luggage to the car, and he let me wear his jersey.."

"I don't know what to say.. It seems like he cares. I would see how things go."

"Why was I so stupid?" I asked

"You aren't stupid, you were caught up in the moment. It's going to all be okay." Allison said

I went home and took a long shower. I couldn't stop thinking about Patrick. I fell asleep and woke up early for morning skate.

"Kaner, Ash, how was the all-star game trip?" Q asked

"It was super fun, I'm happy I got to experience it.." I said simply

"It was my all time favorite all-star game I've been to." Patrick said

"Well you finally won it!" Tazer said

Patrick laughed and so did the rest of the team.

Patrick got a hattrick and he played unreal.

"So Kaner, who'd you hook up with in LA to play like that tonight?" Crow asked

The boys laughed and he said, "No one.."

"You're lying brother!" Duncs said

"Kaner, you're my best friend and you hook up with a girl in every state for every roadie... You aren't fooling us.." Tazer said

"Ashley, who'd he hook up with?" Sharpie asked

"How would I know? I was never with him.." I said annoyed

"Fine, it was just some annoying random girl that I met after the skills competition... " Patrick said

"We need to have you hook up with her again if you're going to play like that."

"She was a total slut and if only hooked up with her because she was the only one there. It was horrible sex too, so I'd rather not do it again with her.." Patrick said

I couldn't help but feel his words were directed towards me.

After I was dressed, my sister brought Audrey down for a picture with me. I was holding her and Allison asked if I would take her for the night. I agreed and she said she was going to put everything in my car while I grabbed my purse and stuff out of the locker room.

I brought Audrey in and grabbed my MK large black purse and my long jacket. I left the locker room and met Allison at my car. We put Audrey in the backseat in her car seat. I had the day off tomorrow, so I was dropping her off at five tomorrow night.

I drove back to my place and gave Audrey her bottle. I texted Patrick...

Me: hey, can you please come over? We need to talk..

Patrick: you come over

Me: no, I have my sisters daughter tonight

Patrick: fine.

I burped her, changed her diaper, and got her in her pajamas and laid her down in her porta crib in my room next to my bed.

I changed into a sweatshirt and a pair of black long pajama pants.

Patrick knocked at the door and I let him in.

"What's up?" He asked

"Am I really just some random slut that you never want to sleep with again?!" I asked

"Ash, what else so you want out of that time together?"

"So it's true?" I asked

"We could never be together. I'm six years older than you, we play on the same NHL team..."

"It felt like more than a one time thing... You held my hand for six hours straight..." I said upset

"Ash, it was more... I want more, but we can't have it... You aren't just some random slut, I'm falling for you.. I meant what I said about this all-star game being my favorite. I'm so happy that blizzard gave us that extra time together..."

We talked for another hour and it was calm, but in a fighting way.

"Patrick, don't make this complicated.." I said kissing him

He kissed me back and we were interrupted by Audrey crying. I got up and I picked the crying baby up from the crib. I carried her out to Patrick and held her while I rubbed her back.

"You're really good with her.." He said

"Thanks, I had a lot if practice taking care of my siblings. Plus, I can't wait to be a mom and have my own kids."

She started to fuss again and I gave her to Patrick while I made her a small bottle.

Patrick have her the bottle and burped her while I made my famous smoothie.

She was asleep in his arms when I came back.

"Wow, you're also very good with her."

"Same reasons as you..." He said

I laid my head on his shoulder and said, "What if that was our little girl..."

"She would be amazing, just like her mommy." Patrick said

"Do you want kids?" I asked him

"Yeah, someday.. I want a little boy, just like me to carry on the Kane name."

"Oh no, the world can't handle a mini you.." I said

He laughed and he added, "But I also want a little girl who is the spitting image of her mom, the woman I fell in love with."

"You're so sweet.." I said

"I know." He said laughing and adding, "Only around girls I really like..."

He kissed me and he held Audrey in his arms.

"She is adorable and I am so happy that she is your sisters baby and not yours and Tazer's..."

"Me too.." I whispered

Patrick and I laid her back in her crib and I asked him, "Will you stay here tonight?"

"Of course.." He replied

We both slept in my bed and I woke up a few times with Audrey and Patrick was always right there to help

He was becoming more and more attractive.
