xxii. eastern conference first round games one & two

April 11, 2019

Em wakes up to a sudden burst of energy. Tonight is game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the Leafs in Boston. The Bruins have looked good in practice and are ready to start the playoffs in front of the home crowd at the Garden.

She goes to the bathroom and freshens up before going to the kitchen to make a big breakfast. She makes pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, and toast. She also serves fresh juice and coffee and sets the table up. Just as she puts the silverware down, she feels a set of arms wrap around her bump.

"Good morning, baby," Pasta smiles, kissing her shoulder.

"Good morning, Papi. Sit down and eat your breakfast," she says, motioning to the chair.

He sits down in front of a giant plate of pancakes and another giant plate of eggs, bacon, home fries, sausage, and toast.

"Babe, this is a lot of food. What's the occasion?" he asks.

"Game 1 of the playoffs. I want you to fuel up so you can go out there and win for us," she smiles, sitting down.

She sits in front of her own two plates full of food and digs in.

"Best wifey ever," he moans, as he takes another bite of his food.

"And don't you forget it," she smiles.

"So how are you feeling this morning?" he asks her.

"Amazing. I haven't had this much energy since February and I'm not sick anymore! So babymoon is definitely happening after the playoffs because I gotta take advantage of all this energy during the 2nd trimester," she explains.

"Okay, so I know house hunting is gonna take a while because of the playoffs, but I set up a meeting with the realtor tomorrow after practice," he informs her.

"Okay, sounds good, baby," she smiles.

They talk about expectations for tonight's game and Em is excited about meeting up with all the WAGs and to be decked out in the playoff jackets. The two finish eating and Em cleans up the table as Pasta heads to the bathroom to get ready for pre-game skate. He showers and changes into comfortable clothes.

"Alright, baby. I'm leaving," he calls out from the living room, grabbing his keys.

Em walks out of their bathroom and makes her way over to him.

"Alright baby. Be safe and have a good skate," she smiles, kissing him.

"See you later," he smiles, before leaving the apartment.

Em takes advantage of the newfound energy and starts working on cleaning and redecorating the apartment. Before she knows it, Pasta is entering the apartment a couple hours later.

"I see you cleaned and redecorated," he chuckles lightly.

"Now that I'm finally not sick, I can clean and have this place looking nice and cute again," she replies, kissing him.

"Alright, well I'm gonna go and take my nap," he informs her, heading to the room.

She grabs her Macbook from the dining room table and sits down on the couch. She browses through baby items so that she can set up a nursery in one of the guest rooms while they wait to find the perfect home for them to build their family. She ends up saving a bunch of stuff in her cart for later, knowing that it's still a little early to be buying things. She watches TV quietly for a while as she waits for Pasta to awaken from his nap. He wakes up a little while later and she immediately goes to the kitchen to start making him his pre-game meal.
