This Changes Everything - a Patrick Kane fanfic

chapter eleven

Playoffs had started and we were playing the St. Louis. We sept them. Next, Minnesota...

We had our first playoff game in Chicago. My family flew out and so did Patrick's.

They were all staying at our place and my sisters because Q was having us stay in a hotel, so there were no distractions.

Everyone got their own room, except me. I was sharing with Patrick. 

"I figured you two would end up in the same bed.." He said walking away

Patrick and I went in our room and both started laughing. 

"That's embarrassing!" I said laughing

He kissed me and he said, "You're so beautiful"

"Patrick...." I said annoyed

"I mean it.. You are the most beautiful girl in the world and  I love you." He said 

"I love you too" I said

We went to a light morning skate and that night we had our first game. Our families sat together in a suite and they seemed to get along great.

We played amazing, but we struggled to find the back of the net. It was 0-1 with twenty seconds to go. Crawford was pulled and Duncs took a slapshot from the blueline and it went in!

We forced the Wild into overtime. It was going to to be a difficult overtime, but Q was confident. 

"Lovebirds and Tazer" He said sending us out to start the period and the two defensemen joined us

Patrick got a breakaway and he made the goalie look silly. I skated down the ice to him and I jumped into his arms. 

The whole team joined us and we went back in the locker room.

"Well, that was a hell of a finish!" Q said 

Patrick got the belt for being the player of the game and Crow said, "We all know you're getting laid tonight."

My face turned bright red and Patrick just laughed, typical.

We all got undressed, hit the showers, and got back on the bus to take us to the hotel.

The team wasn't wrong about our plans for the night.

The next day we had a light practice and went back to the hotel and did some team bonding stuff. 

We won the next game against the Wild 3-1. We were now headed to Minnesota. 

My family invited the Kane's to drive back with them and stay at our house. 

I sat by Patrick on the airplane and we talked about how we were both so happy our families got along.

I fell asleep on him and when I woke up and checked my phone, a bunch of the guys had us on their story with the hashtag #lovebrirds

We won the next games, sweeping the Wild.

We continued to advance in the playoffs until we made it to the final round.

It was game six against the Bruins and we were in Chicago. We were tied with ten seconds left in the third period. 

We were in their zone and Patrick passed me the puck on the backdoor and I tripped the puck in the net with only one second left on the clock. I screamed and I jumped into Patrick's arms. We lined back up for the one second left on the clock and gloves and helmets went flying. We just won the Stanley Cup. 

After the handshake, Tazer was able to go get the Stanley Cup and take a lap.

He passed it off to me and I lifted it above my head and the UC went crazy. I kissed the cup and it was a dream come true. 

I passed it off to Crawford, I wanted to give it to Patrick, but Crow was another good option. Crow gave it to Patrick and it continued down the line. 

Families were invited on the ice and Patrick disappeared. When he came back, we took some super cute pictures with the cup and then the team formed a circle around us and our family was also part of the circle. The cup was in Tazer's arms and Patrick got down on one knee.

Tears came to my eyes and he said, "I love you so much and I wouldn't want anyone else by my side when all my dreams come true. Ashley Ella Schultz, will you marry me?"

"Yes!" I said 

He stood up and kissed me and put the beautiful ring on my finger. 

Tazer handed me the cup and Patrick picked me up bridal style. I showed off my ring on my finger.

We both held the cup above our head and we kissed.

The last picture was my favorite. It was me and Patrick holding the cup together with our families.

The cup was passed along and Patrick gave me a hug. 

Our hug broke and I showed him how much I was shaking. 

"I love you and none of this seems real!" I said with tears

"It is real, and I love you too my soon to be wife.."

 We kissed and I gave my parents a hug. 

"Patrick is an amazing man and I am very blessed to call him my future son." My mom said

"Me too, when he asked for my permission, I didn't hesitate. We love you both and we love his family." My dad said

Allison hugged me and said, "My baby sister is engaged!"

Donna came over to me and she gave me a hug and she said, "I just want to say congratulations on everything. Scoring the winning goal, winning the cup, and becoming engaged."

"Thank you, Donna." I said

The team moved to the locker room and the party was starting.

Patrick walked over to me and he kissed me. We were making out in the locker room and everyone was watching. I didn't care, I was so in love with this boy.

Our kiss broke and he just couldn't stop smiling.

Everyone showered and we headed to a local bar. I was wearing Patrick's red jersey as a dress out with my black pumps.

Patrick's POV:

We were at a bar and Ash was wearing my red jersey as a dress. 

"Damn..." Tazer said seeing what Ash was wearing

"I know.." I said looking at my beautiful girl

I only had one beer and Ashley only had one drink, plus what we drank out of the cup. We had been there for about two hours. Ash came over to me and she kissed me.

"Let's get out of here.." I said 

I held her hand and we went home. The second the door shut, I picked her up and we started to make-out. 

"That jersey is so fucking sexy on you.." I said as she took my shirt off and was unbuttoning my pants

I was so happy that Allison had both of our families staying at her house.

I woke up the next morning with Ashley in my arms. 

"Good morning by beautiful girl." I said 

She look at me and at her ring and back at me.

"Did we really win the Stanley Cup last night?" She asked me

"Yes and you scored the game winning goal." I said smiling

"And did you really propose? This wasn't all a dream?" She asked

"I didn't propose... Tazer did.." I said joking

"Shut up." She said kissing me

We celebrated a lot the next few days with the parade and all. I was packing up to go to Buffalo when Ash asked, "Where are you going?"
