It was our third day into the honeymoon and everything had been perfect up to this point . We still had two days here together . Sid and I had been doing a variety of activities like sightseeing and a few hikes spending hours curled up with one another we even drove back into Vancouver for some fun there . I couldn't ask for a better husband a better man even when a couple attempts for some extra fun where ruined by my morning sickness . Sid was there to hold my hair and just cuddle . I was awake that morning before my handsome husband . I watched him sleep as sunlight streamed in through the crack in the curtains . he looked so peaceful sleeping . I smiled softly . Today we were going horse back riding then having dinner at a place called A & W it was a restaurant tied to one of the local winery's . I would have loved to go on winery tour but pregnant that's like they had zip-lining to but couldn't do that either . "I hope you appreciate how much I'm giving up for you ." I have murmured to myself and the growing child inside me . I felt Sid pull me closer to himself then he opened those beautiful chocolate eyes .
" Good morning Baby . " He kissed me
" Good morning Sid . " I cuddled into his chest .
" You ready to start the day ?"
I nodded . We got up and got ready for the day horse back riding didn't start until 11 anyway so it was slow going . After we were both ready and had eaten we headed out to the outfitter.
There we where paired with horses I was matched with a black and white pinto and Sid was paired with a chestnut dale . When we first started off Sid was a little apprehensive with the animals I laughed lightly . The man played one of the toughest sports around and he was apprehensive around horses . He heard me laugh and commented
" Hey its not funny, I've heard horror stories of broken bones and get bucked . "
" Sid , there is no way these horses will do that . They are super calm they sort of have to be for beginning riders . "
We rode for about 2 hours and where done . Then it was back to the cabin to chill and freshen up . Eventually going out to dinner .
Time passed quickly and before we both knew it , it was our last day of the honeymoon . I was sad about this but I knew it couldn't last forever . We had to get back to Pittsburgh and go about life . Not to mention i had to submit that application to shadow at the zoo . I needed to get in soon since when I was 8 months pregnant i wouldn't exactly be able to do what the shadowing required of me. Today we were going to get everything together since our flight left at 10 in the morning and that meant we would have to leave the cabin by 7 to get to the airport by 8 and go through the whole customs since we were flying back into the U.S . But before that we where going to take a hike on one of the many hiking trails in the area . I believed we were going to one of the waterfalls near by . It was only like 5 miles or something like that . I hopped I could handle it . It didn't sound like to hard of a hike . Normally I would have been up for anything but .. my feet were already starting to experiencing the lovely swelling of pregnancy . At least it varied from day to day . It was a lovely hike and the scenery was absolutely stunning . That night was fun to after dinner as we drove back to the cabin I flipped through songs on my iPod finally settling on Getting you home by Chris young . During one point of the song about halfway through Sid started singing along .
" Honey , I know by that look in your eyes and your hand draw in hearts onto mine that our night out of the house ain't gonna last too long when all you can think about is gettin me home . Walking through the front door seein your black dress hit the floor honey there sure ain't nothing like loving me all night long. And all I can think about is gettin you home . "
I smiled softly . " Oh Sid , I love you but , singing is not your strong suit . "
He chuckled .
" Tell me about it worst singer in the NHL . "
" Well you aren't getting paid to sing . Your getting paid to play . And you are the best at what you do. Arguments aside . " I flipped through a couple songs settling on love story by Taylor swift . I absentmindedly found myself singing aloud with the chorus. " Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone . I'll be waiting all that's left to do is run . You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess it's a love story baby just say yes . "
Sid chuckled . " Your much better at the whole singing thing then me . "
" Maybe but Taylor Swift isn't exactly the hardest to sing along with . "
We spent most of the night cherishing our last night of a wonderful honeymoon.
The next day it was back home and back to the grind . Stanley was overjoyed to see us although he seemed quite found of Geno . A couple days after returning I was laying in bed in the early morning hours I'd just woken up I heard water running in the bathroom Sid must be in the shower . I unlocked my phone and checked emails and then Twitter . What? what was this ? I clicked a link which took me to an article from a paper in Ottawa that Sid had been arrested at 2 am last night . What in the world unless Stanley had learned to turn on the water there was no way this was true. At about this time Sids phone on the other bedside table started to blow up . That had to be about the rumor . No sooner then I thought this i also had servel messages on my phone . One from Geno asking if I knew what was up with Sid if he was alright . One from flower along the same lines as Geno's message. One from Sarah
" What is this I hear about Mr. Crosby getting arrested ?"
one from Vero . " What exactly were you and Sid doing last night ? "
And one from my brother . " Ha! now you cant make fun of Giroux for getting arrested . " I rolled my eyes I replied to everyone letting them know that Sid was not in fact arrested last night at 2 am . Then replying to my brother . " Sid's not even in Canada Luke , he's here at home with me . Press trying to cause drama . " As soon as I'd finished typing the message . Sid came out of the bathroom towel wrapped around his waist. " Good morning , Sid seems some media outlets have published a false article on you being arrested in Ottawa last night . "
"What?" he grabbed his phone and i saw him scroll through his messages then a curse . "Seriously ... "
" Yep .. I'd expect Pat or one of the pens public relations to be calling to see if there is any truth to the story very soon. " I got up and used the bathroom going downstairs to get a bowl of cereal . Sid soon joining me in the kitchen just as he took a swig of juice from the carton none the less the home phone rang . I looked at the caller Id yep that would be the public relations now . Ah the life of an NHL player .
