This Changes Everything - a Patrick Kane fanfic

chapter thirty-eight

Ashley's POV:

We had gotten new bridesmaid dresses and they were actually very cute. The Hawks were in the playoffs and they started the day after we got back. 

We drove to Buffalo two days before the wedding and today was the big day. Lauren was the flower girl.

We took lots of pictures before of me, Erica, and Jess with our bellies and Jackie in there too. 

We were all ready and Patrick knocked and came in.

"I just had to see the beautiful girls in here.." He said

"Dada!" Lauren said

Patrick picked Lauren up and he kissed me. He walked over to his two sisters and said, "You guys look amazing in your bridesmaid dresses with your little bumps.."

"Aww Patty.." Erica said

"Shut up and don't make us cry.." 

"There is the beautiful bride... You look amazing baby sis.." Patrick said seeing Jackie

They took pictures of the Kane siblings. 

The wedding went amazing and the party after was fun too. 

I obviously couldn't drink and Patrick didn't either because we were leaving tonight to go back to Chicago.

We went back to Patrick's Buffalo house and changed out of our fancy clothes. I gave Lauren and bath and got her in her pajamas. 

I laid her in the crib and I took off my bridesmaid dress and got in the shower and Patrick packed the car. I was in a pair of his sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt.

"Ready to go home?"I asked Patrick

"I am home." He said hugging me

I was confused and he whispered, "Home is in your arms..."

I started to cry and I said, "You are such a sweet husband... But stop making me cry.."

He kissed me and he drove for the first two hours and I drove the rest of the way home. 

I got Lauren in her bed and Patrick and I went to bed and he left around noon to join the team to head to St. Louis. 

Allison and her family were still in Buffalo from the wedding. 

I was almost four and a half months pregnant and we were doing a gender reveal in two weeks. 

As of right now, Q only knew the gender and he was planning the whole thing, which made me a little nervous. 

Patrick returned and they had won both games on the road, which was a good start. I was at the game tonight with Lauren and Allison.

"So no one knows about the baby?" She whispered

"No..." I said

The jersey did a really good job of hiding the growing bump.

The Hawks won! They won the next game too, which meant they were advancing to play Colorado in the next round. 

Soon, Patrick's family and my family were all in town and Q said that the reveal was going to be after warmups. We all had a suite.

I was in my Kane jersey and we were all waiting by the zamboni door to go on the ice. Of course, they put the red carpet down. 

They announced that there is a special surprise from Patrick Kane and his wife.

A microphone was handed to him and he said, "We are expected our second baby and we're about to do the gender reveal right now.."

Th United Center was going crazy. Our families were on the ice and Patrick stood in his full gear, minus his helmet and he had six targets on a net to hit. One of them would be filled with pink or blue powder. 

I stood behind Patrick. I was so nervous to know.. Both teams were out on the ice. 

Patrick hit three targets and so far nothing.

Fourth.. nothing..

He had two left and this time he picked the right one. The United Center cheered and he picked me up and kissed me. His whole team was excited and our moms were crying. 

"I love you so much!" Patrick said

"I love you too.."

He picked Lauren up and said, "You're going to have a little...."

TBC... what do you guys think? Is Lauren going to have a little brother or sister?
