"We meet again"

36

"Tyler. You need to get him ready or we'll be late" I yell to the other room.
"El, calm down. He's not going to be late. We still have time" he tells me.
Calder Just turned 6 and is starting his first day of first grade today which is a huge deal. He's growing up so fast. It feels like he was just born and now boom- he's in first grade. Making friends, learning, knowing what life's all about.

When Tyler isn't away on road trips, he loves taking Calder to school but sometimes he can't pick him up so that's my job but when he can, he wants to do it with no hesitation. He gets up early with him to help him get dressed and get ready for school while I make his lunch and get his book bag ready.
Now that I know what being pregnant is like and the steps to it, I started feeling like I was a few months ago so I took tests and they care back positive. This time, Tyler was the first one to know. He was in the bathroom with me every step. Hell, he was the one who bought pregnancy tests for me. Soon after, we went to the doctors and it was confirmed. I'm 31, this was the time I thought I would've been pregnant with my first or even a couple years later.
But god decided our lives to be different than we planned.

We're. Having. Twins.

I'm not mad or upset about it but I was just very shocked. I think 3 kids is enough for me I just cannot see having anymore than 4.
I'm just so happy that Calder is old enough and it's not like we have 3 kids under the age of 2.
Tyler is very very happy about having twins and Calder is too I think. When Jamie found out, he didn't know what to think. It felt like he was the one having to have them which was the funny part.
One boy, one girl that doctor has told us when she pointed them out in the ultrasound. This time, we did not have a gender reveal or anything because we just wanted to know, pick out names, get the room ready, we just wanted to be ready since it's double the work this time.

Calder is moving to the room down the hall which is bigger. He said he's growing and is getting more toys that's why he needs a bigger room. Also, the newborns need to be closer to our bedroom.

I thought Tyler would be so happy to know he's going to have 2 boys, but he was more excited about meeting his little girl. There's no bond like a father daughter bond. This makes me so excited for her to be here because I just know she'll be daddy's little girl.

Dallas Rose Seguin is the name we had gave our daughter. Dallas for the stars since we are lucky enough to still be here and Tyler playing for them and her name is the same as mine. For our son, Easton Paul Seguin. Easton is a brand of hockey, which remember we said we were naming all of our kids with Tyler's other passion and love? Well we did. Paul is also Tyler's middle name. Jamie was so awarded to have his name go into our first child's name.

     Calder is such a big fan of his dad. He's already saying he wants to be just like him. When Tyler has the chance, he'll take him to the arena just to skate and shoot some pucks.  He's already a pro at it. He also loves playing baseball, football, and soccer and we aren't stopping him. Just because his dad plays hockey, doesn't mean we're going to force him to play it.  In the winter, he plays Timbits, a hockey team for kids that range from age 5-7. He enjoys doing that and he made a lot of friends there. In the summer, he'll play t-ball along with touch football on the weekends so we're very busy with his sports. I'm usually there alone for his hockey in the winter but in the summer, Tyler doesn't miss one thing.

     It's crazy how far we have came from being no one to each other, to seeing each other and meeting for the first time in Boston, him getting traded to Dallas, me getting the job for the stars and living in the same apartment building as him and Jamie Benn. If it wasn't for me dropping something in the hallway, Jamie and I might've not even spoke or knew I was going to be working for the Stars. We wouldn't even have known we lived right next to each other. If it wasn't for him asking me to ride with him, I wouldn't have met Tyler again. He reintroduced us and we actually became friends.  If he hadn't have made his first move on me, I wouldn't have felt the way I do today about him. We wouldn't have had Calder.
I'm thankful I stayed in Dallas and he asked me to move in with him when I lost my job with the Stars... because of Tyler.
We grew more and more close to each other which made us best friends, parents, and now we're all living in a beautiful home together with our child and twins on the way. We're living a happy life. Married. Living in Dallas, Texas. I love this life and the way it all planned out and I wouldn't change it for the world.

"We meet again" we always used to say.
Not anymore until heaven, baby.

Life kept on reconnecting us and that must've been a sign. A damn good one.

We've been married for 5 years and I keep living him more each and every day which I thought was impossible.

     A few months ago, my dad had gotten out of jail and he came to try to find me and contact me. It's not hard to find where I live because all you have to do is search 'Tyler Seguins house Dallas Texas' and the address will come right up which is so scary but we know we're safe because we live in a gated community and our house is fenced in with a code you need to get in.
He found me by watching the ESPYS and he had seen me sitting in the audience. Tyler won so that's when I got up clapping giving him a hug and kiss.
I'm surprised he knew what I looked like. He didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up so me being on a sports awards show wouldn't ring a bell to him. But when I kissed Tyler, it showed that was my husband because of my ring too.

He searched my name. Finding my number and everything. I didn't want to talk to him, reconnect with him, see him, or anything. He kept harassing me so I had to call the cops which is very sad to do on your own father. I don't want him near the kids, the house, or Tyler which is someone who he never met.

The cops got a restraining order against him and I have no idea where he is now. Florida? Still in Texas? Back to Canada? Who knows. For all I know he could be back in jail.

This life has been such a fairy tail and a dream. In my eyes, this has been every girls happy ever after no matter what roadblocks and things had happened in our relationship.

We're still together living this life in Dallas with a family of 7 now counting the dogs. It's amazing to know that a man loves you and would do anything to take care of you and protect you and your children together. He would choose us over anything in his life including hockey which means so much to him. That was his life before all of us.
When we was hurt and out a month, he told me that if it wasn't for me and the kids, he would probably think about taking drugs just to get back out on the ice even if it meant for jeopardizing his career. I'm so happy he's in my life and vice versa. He's my world and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him raising these kids.

The End.
