This Changes Everything - a Patrick Kane fanfic

chapter fifty

Ashley's POV:

They thought Patrick was dead..

"He wasn't there.." I said

"Why are you crying so hard?" Donna asked slowing her tears

"Because there are two people who are dead in there... I can't imagine what their families are going through.. It was terrifying seeing each face, praying it wouldn't be my husband.. They are still two people in there..."

Donna hugged me... We cried and returned to our hotel.

Two more days passed and I got called to the hospital again...

This time there was a group of survivors...

None of them were Patrick...

There were only ten people left to find...

Three days later I walking by all the hospital rooms and I couldn't do it anymore... I started to cry and I heard the best sound in the world, "Ash..."

I turned and saw Patrick standing behind me... He was all bruised and had dried blood on his face. I didn't care. I sprinted toward him and I hugged him. He held me so tight in his arms and I cried hysterically.

"Are you okay?" I managed to get out

"I am now that you're here..."

Patrick was taken to a hospital room and checked out. He was okay physically. His parents sat in his room with him on the sides of his bed. I was off to the side and Patrick said, "Come here.."

I laid in the small bed with my husband and Donna and Pat stayed. However, it felt like it was just the two of us..

"I missed you.." I whsipered

"I missed you too.." He whispered back to me so quietly that only I could hear

After another hour, Donna and Pat went to get to get us food.

The nurse came in and told us that Patrick was free to leave tomorrow morning.

Patrick didn't say much, he just looked at me and kissed me. We were making out and his parents walked back in with food and we awkwardly stopped.

Donna just smiled and handed us food. We were eating and Patrick didn't eat much. The Kane's went to their hotel room, but I stayed by Patrick's side all night.

It was in between nurse checks and Patrick and I were both up.. We looked at each other and Patrick kissed me which lead to so much more. We fell asleep and woke up the next morning to drive back home.

Patrick and I were in the backseat of his parents car. He was sitting on the diver side and I was in the middle, cuddled up to him.

Pat was driving and Donna was working on her laptop.

Patrick just looked out the window for hours. There was something bothering him.

I feel asleep in his arms. Donna and Pat drove and stopped at the far end of Nebraska for the night as it was storming really bad. We were getting a hotel, but there was only one room left.

We brought our things in and Patrick and I took one bed and his parents took the other.

I showered and then Patrick showered. It was late, I laid in bed with Patrick and he held me so tight in his arms all night long.

It was awkward being in the same room with his parents, but I was just so happy to have Patrick beside me.

It was 2pm when we got home the next day. We walked in the door and Patrick went right to our bed room. Everyone was so relieved he was okay and home.

Patrick was showing and I told our parents there that he don't want to see anyone. I went back into our bedroom and he was laying in bed. I brought our son in as he was under a blanket breastfeeding.

I sat on the bed and when our son was done eating and being burped, Patrick held him and had me go get Lauren. He held both kids and he pulled me close to him too.

I brought the kids out for dinner with our parents and I brought food back into the room for me and Patrick.

He barely ate and I brought the food back out to the kitchen. Patrick didn't do anything for the rest of the day. I got the kids to bed and and my parents left.

I was in bed and Patrick was still up at 2am and I rolled over and I was crying..

"Please talk to me.." I said

"I can't..." He said upset

"I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." I said moving closer to him

He kissed my head and he noticed his jersey in our bed.

"You missed me.." He said smiling

"I did miss you... I was scared..." I said

"So was I.." He said

He looked at me and he kissed me. We were making out and well we had a long night. After, he put his jersey on me and he held me in his arms and he fell asleep.

He slept in and I stayed next to him. When he opened his eyes he kissed me and he said, "I'm going to go to practice.."

He got up and was out of the house five minutes later. I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I was still in his jersey. I took a shower, got dressed, when to find my baby to feed.

I took my son with me to the United Center and Patrick did seem okay. I sat there, watching him, holding our son.

"That's your daddy.." I said smiling

I left before practice ended and I went home. Donna and Pat left, so I picked Lauren up from Allison's.

Patrick acted fine for the next two days and everyone thought he was find, but he wasn't. He was back in playing games.

He was packing to go on a fast trip to Philly and Boston.

"Are you okay flying?" I asked

"I'm fine.." He said

He hugged and kissed our kids goodbye and did the same to me..

I was scared for him to fly.

Tazer: hey, Kaner didn't get on the plane....

Me: do you know where he is?

Tazer: I don't know... He stayed on the bus, so probably back at the united center

I called Allison to come over and watch the kids and I drove to the united center. I walked in and I opened the locker room doors and I saw my husband there. He was sitting on the floor with his back against the wall, crying..
