This Changes Everything - a Patrick Kane fanfic

chapter twenty-eight

Patrick had practice today and before, we went to visit Liam.

"Liam, mommy and daddy want you to meet your little sister, Lauren. We know how much you would love her and we want you to know that we still love you, even though we have Lauren and we always will love you. You are our little boy.." I said

Patrick was holding Lauren and he had his arm around me.

He drove to the United Center and Patrick carried the carseat in with our sleeping baby.

Patrick walked in the locker room and Crow yelled, "Kaner, the baby looks good on you!"

Everyone looked at Patrick and he said, "Meet my daughter, Laure Ella Kane.."

Tazer looked at him and said, "Woah, that's my goddaughter.. You're the father?" 

"Yeah.." Patrick said smiling

He kissed me and the team was so happy we were back together.

"Aww, my lineys are back together!" Sharpy said

"I know we were separated, but I always wondered why you picked Tazer to be the godfather.." Patrick said to me

"Now you know.." I said 

Patrick handed me the carseat with our sleeping baby in it and I said, "Have fun at practice. I'm going to run to target and I'll be back to pick you up."

Patrick handed me his debit card and I said, "I can use my own money.. You've already bought me a house and a car in Minnesota and a mansion and a new car here..."

"Fine.." He said kissing me

I went to target and bought groceries, mainly stuff to make Lauren her homemade baby food. I also got a few new outfits that were on sale for Lauren.

We headed back to the United Center and Patrick was just walking out. I drove his car back home and he carried in all the bags and carried Lauren in. We put on the floor for tummy time and I made Lauren's baby food for the week.

"That looks nasty!" Patrick said coming into the kitchen

"Avocado and bananas.. Try it.." I said laughing

Patrick had a disgusted look on his face. I grabbed a baby spoon and gave it to Patrick who said, "That poor baby.."

"It's not that bad.. She loves it.." I said

Patrick fed it to her for her lunch and forty minutes later, we put her down for her morning nap. It was 10:45am.

"What are your plans for today?"

"I leave to go to Tampa tonight.." He said

He pulled out a plane ticket and said, "Honestly, this was for Amanda, but I am so happy that you're the one that I get to give it to."

I left early tomorrow morning.

"Patrick! I need to pack.." 

I went to our bedroom and I packed a side of the suitcase with my stuff and the other side, I filled with Lauren's stuff. 

I had so much stuff. I needed her carseat too. I was also going to bring her pack and play for her to sleep in. Maybe I would just let her sleep with me so I had less to worry about. 

"Have you flown with her yet?"

"Nope." I said

"First time for everything." I said

Allison came in and I was confused as she said she was here to watch Lauren.

"I'm taking you out on a date!" Patrick said

"Right now?" I asked

"Right now, let's go." He said

We went out to his car and he was such a gentleman and opened and shut my car door. He drove to the United Center and we went out on the ice and just had fun. We did a fun shooting competition and Patrick worked on some of his moves.

He brought me to the bench and he said, "This is where I fell in love with you.. This is where 

We went back in the locker room and he took me out for lunch. 

"I've missed you.." Patrick said grabbing my hand

"I've missed you too.." I said 

Patrick paid and we left and he put his arm around me and he kissed the side of my head and we walked to his car. 

He drove back home and we went inside and Allison left. We were left there, with our daughter.

Patrick picked her up and he hugged me and said to me, "I wish that I could freeze time... I could hold my girls in my arms forever.."

Patrick kissed me and we sat on the couch and he said, "I can understand why you didn't tell me about her at first and I'm not mad anymore. I just want you to know that if there was anyone in the world that I would want to be my little girls mom, it's you.. You gave me a baby, that is incredible. We have the best daughter in the world and I love both of you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life loving you, Lauren, and maybe another baby.."

I had tears falling down and I kissed Patrick and I said, "I was so stupid to ever leave... You are the best thing that ever happened to me, without you, I wouldn't have our baby.."

We sat there, holding our sleeping daughter... She was so perfect. The world all knew that Lauren was his daughter.

Patrick and I were still legally married, only because the divorce papers were misplaced and a lawyer spilt coffee on them, so we needed to re-sign them.

Patrick kissed our daughters small forehead and he said, "Daddy loves you so much and I will see you and mommy in Tampa tomorrow."

He handed me our daughter and he got up, grabbed his bag, wallet, phone, and keys. 

I walked over to him and he hugged me and kissed. 

"Have a safe tip.. I can't wait to see my two favorite girls wearing my jersey." He said 

"You have a safe trip too.." I said to him

He kissed me and he broke it and said, "I love you"

"I love you too.."

He left and I got ready for our flight tomorrow morning.
