10- Two for the price of one

Sorry it took me so long. I hope this makes up for the wait. Comment and tell me your thoughts.

My POV

Val and I got through February without unnecessary drama, but with the exception of Hannah being pregnant and still haven't told her parents, I was somewhat focusing on her. She was getting bigger, and people were starting to noticing her little baby bump. She was going on four months. Along with her getting bigger, her emotions were on an emotional roller coaster. Jon called me and woke me up at one in the morning, telling me Hannah was crying over the comedian Aziz Ansari, and he had no idea what to do with her. How would I know? I know nothing about pregnancy. The biggest problem was she still hadn't told her parents that they were going to grandparents. Jon's parents were ecstatic to be called grandpa and grandma, but we all her parents would probably condemn her to the pits of hell for having a child out of wedlock.

As her and I sat in the room waiting for the ultrasound technician, she was reading the bible for pregnant women, "What to Expect When Your Expecting", as I read People. Today was the day we would find out if she was having a girl or boy. She was so nervous.

"What if the baby is a hermaphrodite?" She asked.

I looked up from my magazine. "A what?"

"You know a she him, a boy and a girl in the same body"

I closed my magazine. "Hannah that's not going to happen"

"You don't know that"

"Yes I do, your baby is either going to be a boy or girl, not both"

She continued to read her book till the ultra sound technician came in.

"Hello, are we ready to find out what your having?"

Hannah just nodded, unable to mouth the words.

"OK" She said as she squirted the gel on Hannah's swell. She moved the wand around a bit.

"Well congratulations, Mama, your having a baby a girl"

I looked at Hannah's face, she was all smiles. Hannah had always wanted a baby girl to dress up and everything.

"and a baby boy"

WHAT! Maybe Hannah was having a chick with a dick.

"What are you talking about?" Hannah asked probably thinking what I was thinking.

"Did you not know your having twins?"

"NO!" Hannah yelled. I think I saw the techs hair fly back a little.

The tech checked Hannah's chart.

"Yep, Miss Franklin your having twins
"Oh my God" I whispered, holding Hannah's hand.

On our way home, Hannah was catatonic. She sat in my little red bug, staring strait ahead, with tears in the rimes of her eyes.

"Are you OK?" I asked.

She didn't say a word. I just kept my mouth shut until she was ready to talk.

"How am I going to raise twins?" She asked as she wiping her eyes, and looking at the ultra sound pictures.

"First your going to have to tell Jon, he's having twins, then your going to tell your parents"

She just nodded. "Your right, I have to tell them as soon as possible"

"How am I suppose to tell Jon" She asked again, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"Just walk in and tell him"

I pulled into Jon's and Hannah's. I saw his car, along with every one else's

"Just tell him" I said opening the door for her to go in.

As the two of us walked into the kitchen hearing the sounds of the guys playing some sort of game probably on Xbox or Wii.

"Oh come on Hubs" I heard Jon say.

Hannah and I both walked into see the normal group of guys in her living room.

Jon happened to look our way. "Hey Babe" he said pausing the game to give her a kiss.

"How was the ultrasound?" He asked looking into her eyes.

She didn't say anything, she just stared into her eyes.

"Hannah what a matter?" he asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

"Is the baby alright?" he asked holding her shoulders.

She nodded "Yep, the babies are fine"

He looked at her with a questionable look on his face. "Babies?"

She nodded again "Twins" She said as she handed him the ultrasound.

As he examined it, his eyes soften. I looked over at Val who was sitting there with a look of wonderment.

Jon examined the picture once again, looking at the words baby girl and baby boy. He looked into Hannah's face who was searching for a reaction. The room was dead silent. you could hear a pin drop. All eyes were on Hannah and Jon, just waiting for his reaction. Everyone pretty much knew about Hannah being pregnant. After Hannah had told Annika and Emma, word got out. They were all very supportive. I knew that if her family didn't approve, that the team would happily be there to fill they're place.

"So we're having a boy and a girl" He said just above a whisper.

She nodded.

His smile grew two times the size.

"That's Amazing!" She said picking her up and turning her.

"Well this calls for a celebration" Huds said hoping off the couch heading for the kitchen to pop some champagne.

Everyone followed after him. But I quickly pulled Jon back to where it was just him and me.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked.

"Well I kinda have to be"

"So your not scared?"

"Beks, of course I am"

"Then why don't you say so?!" I said in a dull yell.

"Because whats that going to do? Nothing. Hannah's already enough or the both of us. I need to be strong for her, show her shes marrying a man"

Was this the same Jon I met three years ago? The same Jon that I would drink to oblivion with? Was this the same guy that only a couple of years ago would have a different girl every night.?

NO!

This was Jonathan the father of twins. Jonathan the family man.

I looked at Hannah, who was surrounded by all the guys. Val looked at me smiling. I couldn't hep but smile back. I loved him so much. I looked back at Jon. He was looking at Hannah with a smile on his face. Hannah made him so happy.

"So when do you think your going to tell her parents?" I asked turning my attention back to Jon, and snapping him out of his day dream. His happy expression quickly dropped.

"I don't really know" he said scratching the back of his head. "Soon"

"Yeah real soon"

"If it were up to me, they'd never know" he said.

"Jon!" I said slapping his shoulder

"What they hate me!"

"Yeah don't worry they hate me more. I so called corrupted they're daughter"

He laughed. "Aw we all know your a little rebel"

Hannah's POV

I felt fat, ugly, and I was exhausted from puking from morning sickness. But you know, it wasn't all that bad. Jon was there the whole time holding my hair, rubbing my back telling me to let it all out. Then whenever I was done, he would pick me up and carry me back to our room. I was still small enough for him to do that.

But as I stood in front of the mirror. I looked horrible. I had these little popped blood vessels on my face from puking so hard. Bags from lack of sleep. My face was broken out from all my hormones running through me. I was getting fatter. And to top it all off my parents and baby sister would be here in only hours. So I did my best to look normal, and prepping myself for the inevitable. Jon and I had planned on telling them after tonight's game. Beks even told me her, Val, and her parents would be there for moral support. I had told my parents to meet me at the Joe. I needed the least amount of time with them as possible.

I had spent the rest of my day prepping myself for the terrible disaster ahead of me. I had called Annika for her to help me find an outfit to hid my belly.

"Go with the black. Black always thins you" She said handing me my black turtleneck.

"So how am I going to hind my thighs?"

She searched my closet. "These, with these" She said shoving my dark wash wide leg and high waisted jeans with a pair of black ballet flats.

"And these will hide my swollen ankles?"

She smiled. "Yes, of course"
She was so sweet. When Jon was going back and forth from Grand Rapids and Detroit, she became my mom, because my mom wouldn't answer my phone calls.

"When you were pregnant, was everything this hard?"

"Yes, when I was pregnant with Adam, man he was the worst. I was nauseous 24/7. I felt huge, and it didn't help Nick was barley there, and I was here all by myself, only person I had was Lisa Yzerman"

I just signed sitting down on my bed. "Great that's how I'm going be"

She shook her head. "No, that's not going to happen. Back then the WAGS weren't as close as they are today, we will be here every step of the way"

I started to tear up. At my house I had never felt loved, but here I felt all the love in the world.

"Don't cry" she said hugging me.

"I'm sorry its these stupid hormones"
She smiled. "I know I have four boys. I remember one time crying after watching the movie Liar Liar. and Nick had no idea what was wrong with me"

I looked at myself in the mirror after I had gotten ready. No matter how hard I tried, how much make up I put on, I still felt fat and ugly. My mom was going to take one look at me and know I was pregnant.

I sat in the box watching the guys warm up. I watched Jon. he was so big and strong, so athletic. this was his rookie year. It had taken him years to get here. I didn't want my baby mama drama to screw his life up.

"How are you doing" Emma said as she sat next to me, with this big red gift bag sitting in her lap.

"Well I'm fat, pregnant with twins, my hormones are on a emotional roller coaster, and my parents are expected to here any minutes. Other than that I'm peachy"

"Well maybe this will cheer you up" She said handing me the big red bag with a big white bow.

"Doubt it, but thanks" I said taking the bag and putting it by my purse,.

"No no, open it now"she said picking it up and setting it in my lap.

"Fine" I said pulling the white tissue paper out. I reached in and felt what felt like jersey material. I pulled out a little miniature Wings jersey. I turned it around and it read Ericsson 1/2.

"There's more" She said.

I reached back inside, and pulled out a little infant Wings cheer leading outfit.

"How long have you had these?"I asked holding the two outfits in my hands.

"I order the Ericsson jersey when I found out you were pregnant. Then when Hank told me you and Jon were having twins, I rushed down here and found the cheerleader uniform. But there's more"

"More?" I said surprised.

I reached in and pulled out this red maternity shirt. It had the Wings logo on the stomach, and across the tummy it read "Future NHL Rookie".

"Where did you find this" I asked tickled pink.

"NHL.com, I ordered it along with the little Ericsson jersey. I had planned on giving it too you at your shower, but I thought you might need a pick me up"

"Thank you" I said hugging her neck.
"Anytime. Us WAGS have to stick together"

Well the game had begun, and not surprisingly my parents still weren't there. It didn't surprise me one bit that they would be late. Finally at the first intermission I heard my Mom's voice. I turned around to see her, my Dad, and my baby sister Natalie.

"Hey Mom, Dad, Natalie" I said hugging each of them.

They all said there hello's and hugged me. My dad didn't really have a welcoming hug.

"Hey big Sis" Natalie said.

I looked at her, of course she was super skinny, tan, and perfect. She was dressed in the tight stretchy black leggings, a silver sequin top, a leather jacket, and to top it all off, her tall hooker boots. If I wore something like that when I was her age, and she is 18, my parents wouldn't let me past the front door. But since she was the perfect daughter, she could do no wrong, or that's what my parents think. I was my parents burnt pancake. I was the one they made they're so called mistakes on. They hated that I played hockey, and hated me for having Beks as a best friend. But Natalie, everything she touched was sacred. She was a head cheerleader for her school, she was a so called straight A student, but I find that hard to believe, because I get phone calls from her asking how to do stuff.

"So what took you so long" I asked as we took our seats. I made sure I sat in the box. I didn't want to have to deal with fans and my parents at the same time.

"Oh you know, we couldn't find the hotel" My mom said making an excuse. My dad stayed as silent as possible. Just watching the boys clean the ice, and Al ride the Zamboni. He liked hockey, but he liked football much more. He didn't like hockey enough for him to be happy I was dating, well now marrying, a NHL player.

"You guys could have always stayed with Jon and I" I said.

"No, we didn't want to intrude on you two" my mom said again making a lame excuse.

"You wouldn't be intruding" I said getting a little tired with her lame attempts.

"Hannah, your looking a little chubby. Have you put on weight?" My mom asked.

Yeah its called being almost five months pregnant.

I sighed. "Yeah I gained a little weight over the holidays"

"Whose number 8" Natalie interrupted our conversation.

"Oh that's Abby" I said turning my attention to the ice.

"Abby?"

"Its a nickname, his name is Justin Abdelkader, he played with Jon in the minors"
"Tell me about him" She asked. I knew what she wanted. Her teenage hormones were always raging.

"What do you want to know" I asked.

"Height, weight, position, age, status"
I sighed looking at Emma as she gave a sympathetic look.

"Well hes 6'1, 212, left wing, 22, and he just broke up with his girlfriend"

He smile grew to a devilish grin.

"I thought you had a boyfriend" I asked.

"I do, but sometimes things change"

My sister was such a skank. But my parents didn't see that.

"So Hannah have you found a job yet?" My mom asked.

"Uh no, its hard to get a work visa" I said trying as much to by pass this subject.

"So your living off Jon's income" She continued to throw questions at me.

I sighed. "Yeah I guess"

"You know Natalie has a job working at your Dad's firm"

"Is that so" I said keeping my gaze on the ice.

I looked over at my dad. When I asked my dad about getting a job at his firm, he told me that it wasn't my place to work at his law firm. I had a feeling it was going to be a long night.

"Hello" I heard a voice. I looked over my shoulder to see Emma and Annika standing there.

"You must be Hannah's family" Annika said.

"Yes" I quickly stood up so I was standing next to them. "Emma and Annika, this is my mom Robin, my little sister Natalie, and My dad Walter" I said introducing them.

"How do you know Hannah?" my mom asked, as Emma and Annika sat on the other side of me.

"well I'm the the captain, Nicklas Lidstrom's wife" Annika said.

"And I'm Henrik Zetterbergs fiance" Emma said.

"Well we were just discussing about my daughter, Natalie getting a job at my husbands law firm" My mom said praising Natalie.

"Well that's good. Did Hannah ever tell what all she does for the WAGS" Annika said.

"WAGS?" Natalie asked.

"Wife's and Girlfriends of the players" Emma said answering Natalie's question.

"No she didn't mention anything about it" My mom said.

"well she does a lot of our graphic design projects for certain fundraisers and such" Annika said.

"No, she never told me that" My mom was shocked I never mentioned that. But even if I told her she wouldn't listen.

"Oh, well she created this amazing display for our Christmas charity event" Emma said trying to make it like I was doing something great. But her attempts weren't working. Whenever Emma or Annika had something good to say about me, my mom always came back with something about Natalie.

My POV
The game was a good one. Jon scored twice, and Hank scored. After the game I got a text from Hannah telling me she would meet me in the trainers room. I knew her parents. They had thought Hannah made the biggest mistake when she moved to Detroit. And they didn't really like me. They thought I was the devil spawn. They liked my parents, but for some odd reason despised me. I have no idea why.

I heard the door open. I turned to find Hannah. She looked tired, exhausted, and like she was about to puke.

"Are you OK?"

"Yeah, I guess. If your parents think your a failure at life and think you slutty little sister is amazing, then I guess I'm OK, OK?" She said, the words rushing out of her mouth.

"Its going to be OK. You and Jon are going to tell them your getting married, and your pregnant with they're grandchildren"
"I cant they will hate me" She said on the verge of tears.

"Hun you have too, Val and I are going to be there the whole time"
She nodded, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

I opened the door so her and I could meet up with everyone else. As we walked out I turned to see Hannah's little sister in the corner with Abby, flirting it up as much as she could. As far back as I could remember Hannah was considered the rebel, and Natalie was the perfect one. Even though she was a big time slut. But her parents were blind to her flaws.

I looked over to see my Mom and Dad talking up a storm with Hannah's parents. Hannah had found Jon, now I had to find Val. I walked into the locker room, he was at his stall, struggling in tying his tie. I walked over to him. Even though I worked for the team, we didn't talk during the game. I knew he had to focus. I changed from my jeans and Wings track jacket, into my black dress slacks, and a white ruffly blouse. He was the only one left in the locker room. He talks about me being slow, he himself is one of the slowest people at getting ready.

"Here, let me help" I said grabbing his tie from his hands and tying it for him.

"Can you remind me why you and I have to go out to dinner with Hannah's family?" He asked looking into my eyes.

I sighed "Because Hannah's my best friend and I promised her"

"So, that doesn't mean I promised I would go"

"Val!" I said slapping his chest. "Jon's like your best friend"

" I don't care, seriously I just want to go home" he said with a hint of whining in his voice.

"If you promise to do this for me, I promise to do something for you" I said trying to sound sexy.

"Really? Like what?" he asked cocking his eye brow.

"I don't know" I said rising on my toes, so that my mouth was only centimeters from his ear. "You'll have to wait and see"

I pulled back and tightened his tie.

"Oh god, I hate when you tease me"

I let out a condescending laugh. "Oh but honey you love me way too much" I said as I grabbed his hand.

At the restaurant, Hannah and Jon sat on the same side of Val and I, while all the parents sat on the other side. Dinner was going smooth, with the occasional comment about how magnificent Natalie was, but I quickly killed her parents praise about Natalie, with a comment aimed towards Hannah in a uplifting way.

Well as dinner wound down it was time for Hannah and Jon to tell why they had called them down in the first place.

"So I know your all wondering why we called you guy down here" Jon said trying to stay calm. "Well Its because we wanted to tell you Hannah and I plan on getting married, and well Hannah is pregant with twins"

I scanned across the table, searching for a reaction on her parents faces. And just as I expected. Her mom's jaw was dropped and eyes were bugged out of the sockets. her dad's jaw was quenlched tight, nostrils flared, and he looked like he was going to rip off Jon's face. I wouldnt have been surprised to see fire emiiting from his ears. Then I looked at Natalies face, she was all smiles.

"So Im going to be an aunt!?" Natalie said over joyed.

"How long?" Robin asked.

It was silent. No one said a word.

"Hannah how far along are you?" Walter forcefully said.

"About 5 monthes"

"Hannah, five monthes, and you still didnt tell us, you know how irresponsible that is on your part, besides getting pregnant" Robin said practically yelling at Hannah.

I could see the tears whelling up in Hannah's eyes.

"How could you not tell us?" Walter said demanding an answer.

Finally I had enough of it.

"She was scared Ok!" I blurted out.

"We didnt ask you. Your the whole reason she's in this sitiaution" Robin said, frustrated.

"Wait, how is my daughter the reason your daughter got pregnant?" my mom asked, defending me.

"Oh come on Maureen, all the times Hannah has gotten in trouble, its because of your whore of a daughter" Robin said clearly mad, and taking it out on me.

"That's where I draw the line" my Mom said throwing her napkin on the table and standing up from the table. "I will not sit here and let you call my daughter a whore" She was now looking down at Robin.

"If it wasnt because of your daughter, my daughter wouldnt have met this boy, and wouldnt be having his babies" She said standing eye level with my Mom.

"Robin, I think we should go" Walter said throwing some money on the table, and grabbing his wife's hand pulling her out of the restaraunt. Natalie soon followed after them.

I looked at my mom, she was steaming mad, and my dad was speechless for once. I looked to Hannah. She was now sobbing, Jon was trying to soothe her by hugging her, and rubbing her back. Then I looked at Val next to me. He was staring straight a head. He was catatonic. This was way messier then I thought.

AS I sat in Hannah's living room. For the last two hours Ive been sitting here just being there for Hannah. I had told Val to go to back to his place and get some rest. He had an early practice. I just let Hannah vent. I knew when her parents got like that, to let her vent. Well two pints of Hagen Daz ice cream later we heard a knock at the door.

I got up and opened it. And there standing was Mr. and Mrs. Franklin. Why in the world where they here?

"Rebekah" Walter said.

"Mr. and Mrs. Franklin"

We stood there for a minute.

"Is Hannah anywhere....." Robin asked.

"Mom, Dad" Hannah said coming around the corner, sounding equally surprised to see them as me. "What are you guys doing here"

"Well" Robin said moving past me. "We came here to tell you we were sorry for reacting the way we did"

As they walked in, I saw Val. He had that goofy grin on his face.

"Even though we dont approve of the way your living your life, we still love you" Walter said.

Well Mom, I love him, and were having two of your grand children whether you like it or not"

"We understand" Robin replied.

"Thats all I ask. But I'm not the one you should be appologizeing too." Hannah said.

"Yes" Robin said. "I'm sorry for calling you those names and...."

I just waved her off. "Dont worry about, I know I'm not an angel, and I know growing up, I got myself in some bad situations, so dont worry about it"

Her mom smiled. "Thats Rebekah"

"Again, no problem" I said smiling back. "But if you dont mind Hannah, I think I'm going to go home" I said.

She just smiled. "sure, see you both later"

I grabbed my coat, and closed the door. Val grabbed my hand, as we made our way down the walk way to his car.

"Why did you do that?" I asked.

He smiled. "Do you want the truth or the sappy lovey dovey story?"
I laughed. "The truth"

"Well, I was really looking forward to you keeping your promise" he said opening the car door for me. "And I knew that if what you promised was ever going to happen, that meant Hannah and her parents were going to have to make up"
I started laughing.

"What can I say, I'm a selfish man" He said leaning me up against his car, and capturing my lips, in a fire searing kiss.

9- Found you

I threw Alex off of me, and ran out of the room. Val went running off, and I didn't know in which direction. I tried very hard to run in my 6 inch heels, but they weren't helping me one bit. How could I let myself become a victim of him once again? How could I let him feel me up like he did? He had that stupid grip over me, and until now, I wasn't able to over come it. When I saw the look on Val's face, it gave me the strength to push him off of me.

I ran into locker room, hopefully someone had seen him.
"Whoa! Rebekah, wow, look at you" Chris said as I walked in looking around, not even acknowledging he spoke to me.
"Have you seen Val" I said breathless.
"Yeah, he grabbed his stuff and left"
"Which way did he go" I said turning to him.
"I don't know.." He said as I walked out.

I saw Hannah and Jon, talking to Hank and Emma.

"Jon, Have you seen Val"
"Yeah, he went storming out of here, I thought you guys were suppose to go out"
"We were, but something happened, I just have to find him"
"What happened" Emma asked with her Swedish accent.
"Just something from my past came and reared his ugly head, I just have to find him to explain everything, before he hates me"
"I saw him in parking lot about 5 minutes ago" Helmer said as he passed.
"Thanks" I said running back to get my coat, and purse.

I wasn't going to let this guy out of my life this easy. I was putting up a fight. He was the only guy Ive ever cared about this much. And I wasn't going to let Alex stupidity get in the way.

Val's POV

I couldn't believe she lied to me, say they were just friends. By the looks of it, they
weren't just friends. By the looks of it, he was about have his way with her. But Rebekah seemed to always bash him, whenever we would watch Capitals games. I'm not going to lie, I was hurt. I loved this girl with all my heart, only for her to stomp on it. Did she not think I wouldn't catch her? Did she think she could get away with it? Well I'm glad i found out she was like this before I got to involved. What am I talking about, we were practically married. with out the ring, and me asking. I even had this beautiful set up at this gazebo, just out side Detroit. With lights, and Heaters. It was like something out of a movie. I had spent a whole month planning this, making deals with people, including Mr. Ilitch. Now it was just money down the drain.

As I walked into my house, I threw my bag and coat on the coach and made my way to the fridge for a beer. I needed one deeply. As I opened the fridge I saw a picture of her and I at the Christmas benefit. Back when we were hiding our relationship. But by this picture, it was so obvious. She was wearing a black sequin dress, that was short, and tight, but I loved it on her. She was practically on my lap. As I walked into the living room there was another couple of pictures. One of us when the whole group went bowling. she was sitting on my lap as we watched others bowl. Then on the mantle was a picture of us kissing on New Years when the ball dropped. I couldn't handle it. I tried watching TV, but it wasn't working. So I headed up stairs to go to bed. When I walked in I threw my tie off, and untucked my shirt. As I looked over to my bed stand there was another picture with me and Bek. It was of her and I on the plane she had fallen asleep on my shoulder, as I kissed her forehead. I turned around to find another picture of her and I in trainers room, she was hugging me, with her legs around my waist, as she sat on the table, and nestled her face into my neck.

God, I couldn't get away from her. My house was covered by her. Her scent, her clothes, pictures of her and me. I couldn't get away from her. There is no doubt I still loved her. She was the most import person in my life at that moment, but I wanted to not think about her right now. I had images of her in my bed, and in my arms. Now I had images of his hand up her skirt.
I just had to get out of there. I only knew of one place that wouldn't be covered by her.

My POV

As I drove to the house, I was hoping he would be there. So i could get this straightened out. I hated this. Why did I let Alex take advantage of me? He possibly could have screwed up the best thing in my life. As I pulled in the drive way, I went through the front door. As I walked in all the lights were off.
"Val" I yelled from his foyer.

I walked into the kitchen to find nothing but a picture of him at the Christmas benefit. We were so sneaky. I went into the living room, nothing but loads of pictures on different occasions ranging from bowling to locker room to New Years. I saw a beer on the coffee table. I went over to it, it was still, so I knew he had to be here or I just missed him. I ran up the stairs and ran into the bedroom. Nothing. I looked over in the corner to see his baby blue tie he had been wearing, then I looked at his room, bed perfectly made. I went to the bathroom. Shower still dry, and so was the sink. I had to have just missed him. As I came walking out I saw the picture of when we were in the trainers room, and I wasn't feeling good, and Val was rubbing my back. I almost started crying. I had to find him, and I wasn't going to sit and wait till he came back.

So I called one person who knew him better than me.
"Hey Meech"
"Rebekah, what are you doing, do you know what time it is" He said in a sleepily tone.
I glanced at the clock it was close to 12:30
"I'm sorry, But I cant find Val, do you know where he might be"

Meech told exactly where he would be. I ran out to my little red bug, and I was off. I had totally forgot this was Val's happy place. He had brought me here when we first started dating. It was so relaxing, even though it was winter it, and super cold, It still was so beautiful. It was seclude from the city.

As I got out of the car, I could hear the tiny waves crash against the sand bar. I kept my lights on and I could see this familiar figure. I saw him turn around then quickly turn back around. It deathly cold, I don't know how he was doing this. I slowing walked to him, trying to keep the snow from freezing my toes. It wasn't working though. I was wearing one of my nice white jackets. It wasn't that warm, but it was cute. When I reached him, He was nursing a beer, and had a couple of them next to him.
"How did you find me"

Val's POV

As I sat there drinking my Coors. This was my get away place. Even with it being -1 here, it still relaxed me to the point of better then before. I just leaned against a rock, staring at the stars and listing to the waves. I remember when I brought Rebekah here. Lake was frozen complete so we went and walked on the ice. Now it still wasn't completely frozen, and some of the ice had melted, so you could here the waves crash just a little bit. I was on my third beer when I saw a light coming from behind me. I slowly turned my head around, and then saw Rebekah's little red bug sitting behind me. How did she find me? I quickly turned around. Right now she was the last person I wanted see. Who are we kidding, she was the only person I truly wanted to see. I could hear cursing as she walked to the snow. I knew she had to be wearing heels. I smiled at myself, and kept looking at the waves. I finally could feel heat coming from her body, and feel her presences next to me.

"How did you find me" I said before I brought the now frozen bottle to my lips, that were pretty cold.

"I remembered this was you place"
I turned to face her, and gave her 'I know your lying'
"OK, I called Meech, and he told me"
"That sounds better" I said with a lite smile.
"Is there room for one more" She asked. I scooted over so she could sit. As I looked at her, her hair was straighted with a little poof. Her lips were red, and she was wearing a white winter jacket over her short red satin dress.

"So your obviously here for a reason"
She breathed in "well first of all, I'm here because I'm sorry, I should have told you that Alex and I dated for six months"
I just nodded, and she continued to talk.
"I swear I have no feelings for him, he just doesn't know how to take no for answer"
"You weren't telling him no"
"Val, you don't understand, this man has like mind control over me, and I freeze when ever were around each other, that's the whole reason I'm here, I worked for the AHL team for Washington, that's how Alex and I met, and well things were pretty much sex, when we broke up, he wouldn't leave me alone, so I had to move here, and my dad gave me a job here"
I was hearing everything I didn't want to.
"Val, I guess what I'm trying to say, is I'm sorry for lying to you, and I'm very sorry for what you had to see, and I hope we still be friends"
When she said that my eyes bugged out of my head "Wait, are you breaking up with me" I asked looking at her.
"Well I figured that you were going to anyways, I thought Id beat you too it"
I looked at her green eyes. How could I break up with her, she was the best thing to ever happen to me.
"No, no, why would I"
"because I lied to you, I let my old boyfriend take advantage of me"
"Yes, but you also love me, don't you"
"Val, with all my heart"
"see why would I break up with someone that I love with all my heart"
She just looked up at me, and gently kissed my now frozen lips.
"Just promise me, you wont feel up Heidi if she ever comes around" She said.

8- Alexander not so Great

Now that Hannah and Jon were engaged things seemed to die down a little bit. Everything was going good, and at a slower pace. Everything was chill. But not for long.


Valentines day was approaching. Val was actually getting excited. He had it all planned out. He wouldn't tell anyone. Not even Jon, or Meech. All he told me was to after the Washington game was to dress up, and we were going out.

But that was one game I wasn't looking forward too. Not at all was that going to be a game I wanted to be at. See there was something I hadn't told Val, and I wasn't really looking forward to it.

Val's POV


Things with Rebekah were perfect. She brought something out of me, that made me feel good. No girl has ever done that. So when Valentines day came around, I was looking forward to spoiling her.


But one day at practice, the day before Valentines, things didn't look right. I saw her on the bench, she looked scared. Like she was about to cry. I haven't seen her like this since New Years. I had to find out what was wrong. I never ever cared about a girl like this. So as I skated over to her. She just sat there writing something down on her note pad. I could tell she was in her own world, probably doodling.


"Hey babe"


She jumped, scared.

"Oh, Hey babe" She holding her chest, then getting up to give me a kiss.


"Whats wrong" I asked taking the water bottle she offered me, from her hand.

"How do you know something is wrong with me"

"I know, you wont watch practice, and you always watch practice" I said giving her the bottle back.


"Its nothing, I'm fine, just go back to practice"
"No tell me" I said

"Val, I didn't get much sleep"


"OK, that's all you had to say"

My POV
I guess my wordiness showed, because during practice, Val came over asking what was wrong. I told him that I didn't get sleep well. But that was a big fat lie. I really didn't want to lie, but I also didn't really want to tell him the truth.

As I did my work in the trainers room.


(OK, imagine a Russian accent)

"well look what we have here" A deep voice said from behind me. I knew that voice, and I didn't want to hear that voice.
I turned around to see the one person, actually one of the many people from my past I really didn't want to see.

"Alex, hi" I said trying to hold the vomit down.
"My little Rebekah" He said walking closer.
"I'm not yours, and haven't been for two years" I said trying to be polite.
"Yes, two long years " he said getting closer and closer.
"How did you know I would be here" I asked trying to keep my distance as far as possible.
"Alyonka told me"
Screw her. Alyonka Larionov, an old friend of mine in the hockey world, but the sad thing is that
she was a good friend of Alex.


Just as he came closer, my saviour came in.
"babe, you ready... Alex Ovechkin?"
"Baby" Thank god. "Alex, this is my boyfriend, Valterri Filppula" I made an emphases in the word boyfriend, as I wrapped my arm around his back and placing my hand on his chest.
"Val, this is an old friend Alex Ovechkin"
"Nice to meet you man" Val said shaking his hand. Trying to be nice.
"Mhmm, same here"



"So, how did you catch this party girl" Alex said spitefully.
Val just laughed not noticing they mean comment aimed at me. "I don't really know, just happened"
"Babe, Ive got some stuff to do , how about you go start the car, and I'll be out in five minutes"
"OK, sure" he said giving me a kiss, and walking out.


Alex just gave an evil laugh. "Wow, Rebekah, you've got him trained don't you"

"Ha ha, yeah, at least he's more than sex"

"And your not? If I remember right, when you and I were in the same room you couldn't keep your hands off of me"

The vomit came up again, just looking at him, with his screwed up teeth, reminded me how desperate, no not desperate, just plain out stupid I was for letting him put his hand up skirt.

"Well I'm different, mature"
"Your not different" he said coming closer.
"Your still the same old Rebekah as before" he said looking down at me.
"and um, and how do you know that" I said stuttering, trying to keep him away.
He just smiled, and walked about the room. After he left, I found the nearest trash can, and puked guts out.







Vals POV

I was taken by surprise. Rebekah knew Alex Ovechkin, I dint ask questions. But still, how did she know him? Rebekah had a lot of friends in the hockey world, but never ever in my life thought Ovie would be one. As we laid in bed that night, she was barely awake, but still wanted to know how she knew him.

"Babe" I asked holding her close.
"Mhm"
"How is it you know Ovie"

Her body tensed, and she turned to meet my eyes.

"Were just old friends, I don't really know how we met, but when I was in Washington for a little bit we hung out because he knew my dad"

Sounded pretty reasonable, OK that's all I needed to know.







My POV

I was almost asleep then, Val dropped the bomb, by asking about Alex. I didn't want to tell him like this, so I lied and said we were good friends when I was in Washington for the six months I was there. I didn't tell him, we dated for six months, or we use to go at it like rabbits for six months, or that we had a pregnancy scare. But I didn't need too. There was nothing between us now. I still couldn't sleep. So I broke away from Val's grasp.

I grabbed my warm up pants, my Ipod, skates, hoodie, and headed to the Joe. I know it seemed drastic and late for hockey. But when I was a teenager, I solved my problems with hockey. In Ontario I would spend hours at the pond behind my house, just shooting pucks, and practicing my skating.

Then, before I knew it I was blasting pucks into the net, and blasting "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor. I just remembered how I said I was going to be in the NHL. I actually had a chance to make it to the Olympics, but I screwed that up with hormones.

I just shot a super hard slap shot, when I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was Stevie.

"Hey, what brings you here" I asked turning my music off.

"well, Mike called me telling me, there was someone reported at the Joe, and to have me check it out, the bigger question is what brings you here"

I took a deep breath "Just needed to blow some steam I guess"

He looked at me, like he knew exactly what I meant.

"Yep, been there many times"he said grabbing an Easton CCM that I had brought over.


"Mind if I join" He said grabbing a puck, and netting it.



"Not at all" I said as I hit one in with my Easton Synergy.

"So whats bothering you"

I took another long breath "Well I don't know if I should tell you"

"Oh, come on" he said slapping one in.

"Fine, just stuff from my past are coming back to bite me in the ass, that's all" I said shooting one over the net.



'Is it your dad?"
"No, my dad and I are good"
"He nodded"OK, good"

"No, its Alex"
"Alex? Whose Alex?"
Then It dawned on him "ALEX OVECHKIN!"
"Yeah, we dated"
He whistle.

"Yeah, not one of my best judgements"
"Have you told Val" He asked, switching his stick to a Nike Bauer Supreme.
"Um, no"
"And why"
"Because, I'm scared"

When I got home, it was close to 4:30. I instantly fell to sleep.

Next thing I knew, it was morning, and the sun was beaming on me.
"Happy Valentines day"


I rolled over and kissed Val ever so gently.

"Happy Valentines"

I just had to get through the day, and then Val and I could have our first Valentines day.

Well I did really good. I just avoided Alex. I did a fantastic job of it too.


So, we ended up losing. Ozzie couldn't stop Alex.

Val told me to bring a Fancy dress, cause we were going to somewhere special. I went to my dads office to change. I decided on a red Satin strapless dress, and black glitter Louboutin heels. It showed off my best features. Legs and Ass. I felt like Jessica Rabbit. With the high heels, and the tight dress, and my red hair.

I was reapplying my make up. When I heard the door open. I turned around thinking it was Val.
"hey" but I was wrong "Oh, its you"
Alex just laughed "Were you expecting someone else" He asked.
"Yes, actually" I said closing my compact, after applying red lipstick.

"Well, looks like you dressed up for me, you know how I always loved you in red"
I totally forgot that.
"Don't flatter yourself" I said straighting my dress, and fluffing my straight hair.

"By the way what did you mean yesterday, 'I was the same Rebekah" He always seemed to be the only man to get into my head.
He laughed devilishly "Easy signs"
"Really? How come I can see them?"
"Because you blind to your flaws"
I breathed in deep, he was getting under my skin. "then what are these 'easy signs' "
I grabbed my hand, and placed me in front of this big picture in my dads office, where I could see my reflection, and stood very close behind me.
"one, your dress is so tight your bare underneath, and your dress is so low in the back your not wearing a bra" he said grazing his hand over my curve of my ass, and the top of my breast. giving me weary chills.
"Your wearing thick make up, and it looks like your dieing to go out clubbing, like we use too, remember back in Washington" He said whispering in my ear, making me sick to my stomach.

"Whatever, Val makes me happy, unlike you"I said walking away from the picture.
He laughed again, walking closer.
"Come on, Rebekah, Does he make you say his name like I did, does he make you moan, like I do. Does he make you scream, does he make you scream, does he do the stuff we did" He said backing me up, into my dads desk. His hand moving farther up into my dress, breathing into my neck. Just his cold touch was enough to make me sick.

I was frozen, I couldn't say much. I tried yelling, but I couldn't. After two years, this stupid man, still had some kind of control over me. This stupid involuntary control over my body, that I could get rid of.

"Please stop" I innocently, and almost whispering it. That's all I could muster up.

"so how about you letting me, lay you out on this desk here, and we relive some old memories" He whispered into my ear.
Right at that time, I heard the door open. I looked around Alex to see Val standing there. mouth dropped.

"Val"I said breathless.

7- Im going to kill you

Please leave comments. I really want to know what you guys think


"WHAT IS SHE THINKING" I yelled as Val drove over to Jon's and Hannah's house.

"I mean, its very evident he loves her so much, and I don't know what her problem is"

I've never been mad at Hannah. Irritated, never mad. But this had really upset me. I had to drag myself out of my bliss, and talk her into say yes. I knew she loved him so much. I knew her answer was caused by nervousness, stress, moodiness, and well pregnancy.

"Babe, maybe there's something else wrong" Val said driving as fast he can to their house.

"no, her and Jon have been together for 3 years now, she had to expect sooner or later"
"Babe, lets give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she has a good reason"

When we got to the house, the garage was open, and Jon's SUV was no where to be found.

I walked in there with such a purpose. I was livid. Hannah and I have done some stupid stuff. But this had to be at the top of the list. All the way up there with her and I streaking through Hockey camp which I eventually got sent home for making out with one of guy campers. I was never a good girl.

"Hannah, where are you?!?!" I yelled in her
"In here" She yelled from the family room.

I walked in, she had a carton of ice cream, and the movie Jerry Maguire on. That were her comfort food and movie. I knew it couldn't be good, if she had those out.

It was about the time when Renee Zellweger tells Tom Cruise "You had me at hello". I looked at Hannah, and she was wiping tears away from her cheek. She was a sucker for Tom Cruise. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. I leaned over and turned off the TV, and grabbed the ice cream from her hands.

"Hey, haven't you heard it isn't good to take food from a pregnant women"
I looked around her, she was surrounded by junk food. Candy, ice cream, chips, pop. All kinds of stuff not good for her.

"You had sex" she said looking at my face, and had this smirk.

"How do you know" I said.
"Rebekah, I know your just got laid face, you have an unnatural glow, and your hair is messed up, and you look a little tired"

"Whatever, this stuff is terrible for you and the baby" I said trying to change the subject, as I picked up, pop cans, chip bags, and wrappers.
"what is going on" I asked going into the kitchen and throwing it away.

"why, are you eating all this junk" I said as Val sat far from the both of us.

"I don't know I was hungry, why are you acting like my mom" Hannah spat back at me.

"because Hannah, your going to be a mom in 7 months, you cant continue acting like this"

"acting like what?" she asked getting pissed at me.

I took a deep breath, think of the words to use when your yelling at a moody pregnant women.

"Huh, Rebekah? acting Immature" She said.

"yes, your acting like your 18, your going to be 24 soon, and well you cant do this. Where's Jon" I asked.

"I don't know, He left after we had a semi huge fight, about well the engagement" She said getting up to go the kitchen.

I dialed Jon's cell, to see where he was. And just like I thought he didn't answer.

"Val, do you think you could find Jon for me" I asked as Val had this uncomfortable look on his face. Val hated confrontation

"No, No, I don't want him here" She said yelling.

"You may not want him, but he needs to be here" I said.

"Yeah sure babe, I have a good feeling where he is" He said as he came over to give me a kiss. And left.

"So was he any good" Hannah asked

"What?" I said confused trying to pick up the remaining mess.

"Val, you evidently had sex, so was he any good" she said walking back into the room.

"Hannah, this isn't about me, this is about you, whats going on?"
"I don't know what your talking about"She said trying to ignore what I was asking.

"come on, why did you say no, you love him, and he loves you to the point he's willing to clean up his mess to make you happy"

"Rebekah, he's only proposing because I'm pregnant"

"Seriously Hannah,you cant seriously believe that, you guys have been together for 3 years, you had to be expecting it for some time. You showed him a ring you like"

"I just feel that its happening to fast, after I have this baby my life is over, no more going out with the team, no more trips, no more anything. And I don't want his proposal to because of me being pregnant"

"Your right, your priorities will change, and well would you rather raise this baby alone, or well have Jon, who will be a amazing father, to help you"

She stared at the ground, and fiddle with her shirt. "He loves you, he did anything and everything to get that huge ring for you"

She looked at me funny. "What do you mean""

"he went back to that jewelry store in Birmingham, and well they didn't have it on hand, so he had to order it and well it cost him a lot"

"O" was all Hannah could say.

"wants to make you happy, and he knows, this baby is well a bump in the road to your happiness, but Hannah, hes willing to try his hardest to make a happy home for you and this baby"

"what if I'm a terrible wife, I'm only 23, I'm so young"

Val's POV

As I drove fast to where Jon usually goes to blow some steam. I knew Jon loved Hannah with every bit of his heart. When he first came to Detroit, all he could talk about was how his girlfriend Hannah was moving from Ontario, to be with him. And how she was perfect, and how gorgeous she was, or how good of a cook she was. It got a little annoying to hear about this girl, but when she came, I saw how happy she made him. I finally didn't realize how happy he felt until I met Rebekah. I couldn't let a relationship of 3 years go down the drain, I had to help Rebekah get them back together.

As I pulled up to the park, where I found a tall black figure standing at this bridge that went across this little river. He was just standing there staring into stars. It was pretty dark, you could see all the stars. I'll have to bring Rebekah here.

As I walked closer, I saw his profile of his face. Jon always came here when he was well troubled, confused, or had a terrible game. It was his happy place. Like my was my secluded beach, his was this bridge.

"Hey" I said as I stood next to him.

"Hey man"

I just stared at the little river as it was frozen over.

"whats up" he asked not taking his eyes off the stars.

"nothing, just had strict orders to come and find you"

He smiled"from Bek"

"yes and she me told not to return with out you"

"I'm guessing you already heard what happened"
"Yes"
"I don't know what happened, one minute I'm laying in bed with her, well after we "

I just nodded know what he was talking about it.

"and well I slipped the ring on her finger as she cuddle up to me, and she was like whats this, and I said a engagement ring, Hannah will you marry me, then she looked me in the eyes and said "No""

I could hear it in his voice, he was deeply hurt. "I don't know what I did, I mean , what do I have to do to make her say yes, she's the only person I can see raising my kids with, and growing old with"

"maybe she's scared"

"Scared of what" he asked.

"Man, she'd only 23, she's pregnant, she hasn't seen her parents in a couple years, her parents really don't approve of you, and well you pop the question a month after she finds out shes pregnant, it sounds like the only reason you asked her is because she's pregnant"

"Val, we've been together for 3 years now, I was gonna ask sooner or later and I guess her getting pregnant just sped up the process" he said as he gave a exhausted breath.

"I love her so much, I just want to make her happy" He said running his hands through his hair.

My Pov.

As I sat in the kitchen with Hannah, she made her and I tea. I hoped my talk with her helped. I couldn't let a relationship of 3 years go down the drain, especially since I hooked them up. I heard the front door open. I saw Hannah's face and whole body tense. I saw Val walk in, with Jon right behind him.

"hey" Jon said as he looked at the floor.

"hey" Hannah replied.

"were gonna be in the next room" I said grabbing Val's hand, leading him into the family room.

Jon's Pov

I just hoped and prayed Val was right. He talked me into coming back to the house, to at least talk things out with Hannah. When I walked in, she was wearing an old Hockey hoodie, and a pair of sweat pants, and to me, Still looked ever so beautiful. As I got closer I could smell her perfume, that I had a custom to for 3 years. Rebekah was sitting there with her sipping tea.

"Hey" I said.

"hey" She replied in a sweet tone.

"were gonna be in the next room" Bek said as she grabbed Val's hand and walked into the family room.

I stood there for awhile, until I finally had to break the silence.

"Hannah, why"
"why Jon? well its just convenient that you asked me to marry you a month after I find out I'm pregnant, and well it just seems like you just want to marry me because your child is in me"
"how could you say that. I love you, I would do anything to keep you, you know that" I said moving to where I was in front of her.

"I know, I just, its all happening so fast, and I'm scared" She said as the tears ran down her face.

I gently grazed my thumb to wipe the tears from her soft cheeks. "Babe scared of what" I said wrapping my hands around her waist.

"I'm scared, once we have this kid, a couple of years down the road your going to leave me for some prettier, skinnier girl, and then what will I do, go back to Canada, no, my parents already hate me for leaving and well I cant hear my dad say 'I told you so Hannah, that Ericsson boy was nothing but trouble'" She said as the tears continued to run down her face.
"Babe, I'll never leave you"

"that's what you say now"
"No, I will never leave you for some other girl, your my girl, my one and only"

She just held me close.

"so lets try this again"I said as I knelt on my knee.

She just looked at me,wiping the tears from her face, and smiling.

"Hannah Isabelle Franklin, Will you marry me" I said looking into her eyes.

She just smiled and then said "Yes"

6- I love you

This is the longest chapter I think Ive ever wrote. Please Comment. I hope everyone loves it

Well It had been a month since Val and I made it official, and it also had been month since Hannah found out her and Jon were pregnant. She had been putting off going to the doctor. Even when Jon and I urged her to go, she was still adjusting to the fact that in 9 months she would be a mom. That scared her to death. She didn't even tell her parents yet.

Finally I convinced her to go. On her terms. the only way she would go is if both Jon and I were there. So after a long day of practice Jon and I rushed our way to Bloomfield Hills, which was a little bit of a drive from Detroit.

As I drove, Jon sat in the passenger seat, fiddling with anything and everything. He kept changing the radio, which didn't bother me until he couldn't leave it anywhere.

"Jon Stop!"

"I know, sorry, I'm just really nervous"he said as he stared at his fingers

"I'm so scared I'm going to make a terrible dad, and i just want to make Hannah happy"

his sincerity was cute. Like me, Hannah had been through her fare share of jerks, and well if it wasn't for me hooking her up him back when he was a Griffin, she probably still be with her loser boyfriend.

"Jon, you will be fine, your gonna make a great dad.

"I can only hope, I mean I'm only 25. How many 25 year old men are dads"
"I know one"
"who"
"Jonathan Ericsson"
He smirked"Not funny"

"oh come on, I see you with Drapes and Malts kids, your great with them"

"Thanks"
"Jon seriously, your like my brother, which is kind a weird since I refer to Hannah as my sister"

He gave me a glare that would kill people"Don't ever say that again, that's my girlfriend, hopefully soon Fiance"

"so your going to propose"

"yeah, Ive got the ring and everything worked out" he said pulling this little blue box out, opening it so I can see.

I took one look, and it screamed Hannah. It was white gold. Princess cut, white diamond. The diamond was help together where the white gold bands came to meet. And on both sides had 4 diamonds going down the sides. It was unique, like Hannah.

"Oh My god Jon, its huge, Hannah's gonna love it"

"yeah, Hannah and I were down in Birmingham a while back and there was a jewelry shop, so we went it and she instantly fell in love with it" He said putting it back into his pocket.

"so I went back the moment she told me she might be pregnant to the place, and well I did anything to get that ring for her"
Jon wanted to make Hannah as happy as possible. By getting this ring, I think he accomplished his goal.

When we got the doctors office, there was one young girl that couldn't have been more than 18. I looked over at her, and she looked so scared. I felt like saying 'girl I know how you feel'. I keep staring at her. Jon went to see if Hannah has already gotten there. I just felt drawn to this girl, as I saw tear run down her face.

"hey, is everything all right"I said sitting next to her.

"yeah, thanks for asking" She said wiping the tear.

"does your parents know" I asked.

"no, just my boyfriend"

"how far along" I asked.

"I just found out"She said looking ashamed at her lap.

"I'm actually not for sure, I just came to see, I only took one test" she said wiping back another tear

"oh, well you might not be then"

"maybe"

"Beks" Jon called as he was headed back to were Hannah was.

"well I hope everything works out"

"Thanks"

As Jon and I opened the door, there sat Hannah with a very unhappy look on her face, with a sheet covering her bottom half. Her look could kill. I mean she was ready to rip mine and Jon's face off.

"what took you guys so long" She demanding a anwser.

"Sorry babe, traffic, and were sorry" He said as he gave her a lite kiss.

"I was getting dirty looks from one lady, thinking I was some kind of whore, I swear I was going to punch her"

Jon gave me this look. He looked like he was kind of scared. Hannah was always non violent. Even when we played hockey she was more focused on being a good puck handler. I was the one always being thrown into the box for fighting.

"Its the pregnancy talking" I said trying to sooth Jon's nerves.

"Hello" the doctor came in so happy. Which was a big contrast to Hannah's moodiness.

She was an older lady about the age of late forties.

"Hello Dr. Holan" Jon said getting up shaking her hand.

"Dr. Holan this is my boyfriend Jon, and you already know Rebekah"

"Yes, nice to meet you" She said as she grabbed for Hannah's chart. She looked it over, then came back up with a smile.

"well lets see if we can find a heart beat, and maybe get some pictures" She said as she squirted this jelly stuff on Hannah's stomach. As she moved it around, she formed a funny face.

"hmmm, I cant seem to find seem to find a heart beat" She said as she moved the wand around.

"WHAT!" Hannah yelled, stressed and scared. As She squeezed mine and Jon's hands, I could feel the circulation being cut off.

Dr. Holan moved it around it around and around, until we heard, this little thumping and beating. Instantly Hannah, relaxed, and laid back.

"170, wow" Dr. Holan.

"170, whats that mean, is it good"

"yes, very good, 170 is very high, and the higher of the heart beat you have now, the better chance you have at having a successful pregnancy" the doctor said as she pulled up some pictures.

"so how far along is she" Jon asked.

She examined the heart beat, and pictures."by the looks of it, I'd say she's about 10 weeks, so her due date will be August 27"

"oh, during training camp" Jon said trying to be happy about it.

"yeah, great" Hannah said breathing heavily, and stressed.

As we walked out of the room, I happen to look at the same girl that I had encountered in the waiting room. She was in the room next to us.

"Well Miss Lopes, your going to be a mom" I heard Dr. Holan say walking into the room.

'I guess she's not as lucky as me' I thought as I walked out.

I had promised Val I would come over, and we would order dinner, since I'm a terrible cook. As we laid in each others arms, I could feel Val's heart beat, it was so relaxed. As I flipped through the music channels on the TV. I came across the song "When a Man Loves a Women" by Michael Bolton. I instantly started laughing.

Val gave me a mystified look. "whats so funny" He asked as he stroked my arm.

"nothing, just, this song remind me of my parents" I said wiping the tears from my eye from laughing so hard.
"Really why"

"long story"

"I'm all ears to listen"

I tried to keep my laughter to a dull roar.

"OK when I was about the age of 10, my dad went out drinking with his buddies, and well he came home drunk"

"wow, your dad drunk" He said smirking.

"no it gets better, when he got home he blasted this song from the garage, so all the neighbors could hear, and was like "Maureen, come out her and dance with me""

Val tried to contain his laughter as I continued to tell the story.

"she refused, so he came inside the house, picked her up, and carried her out on his shoulder, and forced her to dance with him"

He just laughed at my story. I loved that story, because it reminded me my dad wasn't so uptight all the time.

"He to this day, wont admit he ever did that"

"well I wouldn't either"

I just looked into his eyes, as he continued to stroke my arms.

"wait here a minute" he said pushing me off him. He walked over to his Ipod speakers and turned on the song "With or Without you" by U2.

He walked over to me, giving me this eye. He held out his hand, just waiting for me to grab it. I was wondering what he was up too, so I just grabbed it. As he pulled me closer to him, I breathed him in. The smell of men's cologne lingered on his chest. It smelt so good. As we swayed to Bono's voice, there was no where else in the world I would have rather been. Val's hands held me close. I felt safe, felt secure. I closed my eyes listening to the music. Not wanting to do anything else.

"Rebekah"

"mhmm" I hummed not even moving to look at him

"I love you"

Wait, did he just say what I think. No man has ever said those words to me . I pulled away from his body to look in to his pacific ocean blue eyes.

"I..I love you too" I managed to stutter out.

As he leaned down the, the smell of his cologne was getting stronger. His lips gently grazed mine. The taste of red wine and strawberry's lingered on his lips. As I kissed back urgently and passionately, I could feel his strong hands moving up my shirt, as he pulled it over my head. I gently slipped his shirt up, but he had to pull it off, being I was to short, to get it over his long arms. We just stood there staring at each other. Taking in what each one of us were seeing.

Was this finally going to happen?

As I felt him pick me and push me against the wall, he left a trail of hot kisses from my neck, through the meeting of my breast, and all down my stomach. There he stood fumbling with my zipper of my jeans. As he helped me walked out of them, and instantly his hands were pulling me up. I could feel my legs slowly wrapping around his waist. He was hot to the touch. As he went on kissing, and nipping at my neck, marking me as his lover. He lowered me to the ground, and led me up the stairs to his bed.

When we reached the room, his hands were on my hips, pulling me closer. He continued to push me closer to the bed. Finally he lifted me off the ground gently placing me on the soft mattress. As I leaned off the bed, I playfully unzipped his jeans that fit him perfectly. His gaze met mine, as he stepped out of his jeans. I know he had been waiting a awhile for this night, and I wanted to make this amazing for him.

As he pushed me back on the bed, I laid waiting for him. As He slowly and painfully peeled my magenta lined with light pink lace thong down my legs. He looked at me like he was opening the best Christmas present he could ever get. As he kissed his way up my legs, up my stomach, between my breast, and up my neck, I could feel the want and need he had for me. as he slowly slipped my matching bra off my shoulders and threw it to the side, along with his boxers, I will never forget the smile he had on his face as he pulled the covers over us.

************************************************************************************

As I laid cuddle up to Val stroking his chest, as he stroking my arm, he held me close. Tonight had been beyond my wildest dreams. It had blown my mind on how good it was. Ive never ever had someone tell me they loved me. It was always, I love your body. Val was different. With I had intimacy. Which is way better then plain old sex. As both of us laid there bare, neither one of us, wanted move. This moment was too great.

As I looked up at his face, as our gazes met, for the millionth time tonight.

"I love you Rebekah Babcock"

"I love you Valtteri Filppula" I said as I leaned up to kiss his soft lips.

As I leaned back I just looked in his eyes. I could tell he loved me.

Then of course my perfect moment was broken by my stupid phone. I knew it was Hannah, because it was her ring tone I set for her.

"hello" I said leaning over the bed

"hey Beks, guess what"

I thought, what could Hannah want at this hour.

"I don't know what?"
'Jon proposed"

I had totally forgotten that Jon was going to ask tonight.

"really, and what did you say"

She took a deep breath"I told him no"

Guys I promise this isnt the end of Hannah and Jon. I jsut want to add drama

5-A WHAAA!

VAls POV

All during the game, all I could think about was how the hell am I going to appoarch this problem. I knew Rebekah was going to cause some chaos and trouble in my life, but I had no idea it would be this much. I beagn to wonder if she was worth jeopardizing my career. But when i say her on the bus, and then when I held her in the trainers room, my doudts were automatically wiped away.

She was worth it. I knew this girl was worth it. Even though yeah she had her bagage, but Im a big man, I can carry that baggage for her. I was detremined to make her my official girlfriend.

The plane ride, I watched her. She stared out the window. She sat with the older group, with Ozzie, Drapes, and Malts. I could see the worry in her eyes. i knew she wasnt the same girl that she was back in highschool and college. i knew she wouldnt purposly do anything to hurt me or her family.

The plane ride was short. She drove her car, So i had to chase ger before she left.

"Val, not right now, my dad will see"
"you know what, I dont care"
"Well I do, I dont want him alreay madder then he is"
"Im sorry well Ill call you later"
"ok babe, I'll be at Hannah's so well you know"
I nodded "yes I understand"
"Ok Ill see you tommorrow" She said as she kissed my cheek and left.

But I had plans of my own. as I drove in my car, I was thinking how would word it. I was scared out of my mind. No on scared me more than this man here, well my dad, but her wasnt here so. But this mans scolling look just gave me the chills, and not how Rebekah gave me the chills, like Im going to shit my pants.

As I walked up the walk way to this house. My heart was pounding, and I my palms git all sweaty.

As I knocked on the dorr, I thought I still have enough time to run away. No No, if you truly want to make this right, you will over come your fear.

My POV

As I laid there in my bed. Val still hadnt called. I was getting worried. Val was usually a mna of his word, I was hoping he didnt do something stupid like I would do.

I just seem to go to sleep. So I did what I always do when I cant sleep. Eat. As I made my way down the huge stair case, I saw there was a light on. As I got closer I saw Jon sitting on a bar stool at the island in the kitchen, eating cookies and milk.

"well fancy meeting you here" he said.
"yeah I couldnt sleep"
"Did he not calll" he asked as he poured me a glass of milk.
'No, I feel like those girls you see, that are pathetic and wait by the phone, just waiting their boyfriend will cal"
"he laughed "no, Knowing Val, its fora good reason"
"so why are you down her" I asked
"Yeah, I couldnt sleep either"
"Why" i asked eating Hannah's delicious chocolate chip cookies.
"well Hannah, just told me that well I might be a dad"
My mouth dropped.
"Uh WHAAA"
"Thats what I said"
"Yeah she's two weeks late"
"well its just two weeks, so"
"yeah, she' taking a test tomorrow morning"
"well, wow, oh my god, she was drinking alot on New Years"
"yeah I thought too, but I guess she was drinking cokes, and Ice teas, and cranberry juice"
"wow, OH my God, I cant belive she didnt tell me"
"yeah were not proud of it, but things happen"
"wait i thought she was on the Pill"
"yeah she id, but she missed acouple of days so"
"Oh my god, so whats gonna happen if she is"
"well i guess no more partying and going to clubs, and we'll get married"
"wow, Oh my god, things are happening so fast"
"yeah tell me about It"
"so Wow" I said Holding my head, and my eyes practically bulgeing out of my head.

"yeah well so how are things with your dad"
I just gave him a look"
He winced "eww that bad" He said pouring another glass.
"No, well yeah, I just dont understand, I mean Val and I really like eachother, and I want to take things slow, I mean we havent even slept together"
He gave the look.
"You know I really didnt have to know that"
I laughed"Well, I mean Im a different person, cant my dad see that. I really Dont want to bring Val into all my drama. Frankly I really dont think Im worth all the trouble" I said as I ate my cookie

"Rebekah dont say that"
"why? its what I belive"
"yeah, But Val adores you, he would do anything for you, if that means dealing with you shit, then he'll do it"

I Just stared at the counter top.
"well all I know its late, and we have a long early practice, and we both need to get to bed" He said
*************************************************************************************

"OH MY GODDDDD!" I heard Hannah yell from down the hall. I instantly brought back what Jon had told me. I got up and ran down the hall, having to stop my self or I would have past the room. I stared into the rom looking at Hannah and tears streaming down her face, as Jon held her. Hannah was holding the stick. I slowly walked over and grabbed it from her hand. And forsure, Hannah was pregnant>

"what are we going to do" Hannah manged to get out from her weeping.
"babe well were going to be adults about this" Jon said.
The phone wrang, Jon rushed to anwser it.

"Rebekah, i cant do this, Im only 23"
I was a little shook up myslef, but I had to be strong for Hannah.
"Hun, your gonna be strong, I know your are. this baby is going to have all the love in world. From everyone, from you, from Jon, me, and all the guys on the team as well"
"you think" she said wiping her eyes.
"I know, and I'll be here the whole time"
"Thank you"
"what kind of friend would I be, id I wasnt here for you"
"a terrible one"
we both smiled.
'Oh my god, Im going to get so fat"
I laughed. Same old Hannah.

As I drove to the Joe, I was in so much shock of all the past days. As I took my place on the bench. I still dint see Val. I was kinda getting worried.
As practice began I saw Val with his smile on his face. It made me happy. i was no longer worried.
He skated over to me.
"hey babe"
"Hey, what happened last night"
"that why I came over here. I went over to your house yesterday, and well I talked to your dad ans well..."
"Filppula, just because shes your girlfriend, doesnt mean you can skip out on practice" My dad said

I looked at Val he had this grin on his face "He said yes"
I Instantly got up and kissed Val the hardest I ever.

"that doesnt mean you get to kiss her either" My dad said in a laughing under tone.

As Val skated away, a smile crepted over my face. As I looked at my dad, as he winked at me, then began with his normal before practice lecture.

at that moment, I felt finally my dad approved of my actions. My dad was finally happy with me. I felt this huge wieght lifted off my chest, as I sat there staring at my Boyfriend who was so kind, and so compassionate towards me. Could I find a better person for me.

4- Happy New Year!

My Pov

Val and I tried to keep our romance secret as much as possible. I think we did a pretty good job at it. Things with my dad was going pretty good. I mean we actually talked and laughed at practice. And the last thing I needed was him getting mad at me and Val. And I certainly didn't want to screw anything up with Val. I mean we haven't even slept together, which is a big accomplishment, because I sleep with guys usually on the second or third date. I really liked him, and I wanted to take things slow, and at the right speed. The only people that knew about us was Hannah, Jon, and Meech, that's because that's Val's best friends on the team. We would have our secret dates after the games, and on road trips he would sneak over to my room, like we were in high school. And him and I would stay up constantly just talking, cuddling, just enjoying each others presences. We even got through Christmas. But Val had the Winter Classic game against Chicago on New Years day. But we still had New Years Eve.


This trip would be special. We would tell my dad that Val and I were together. The whole plan ride, we keep looking at each other, smiling. I was sitting next to my dad. He was talking the whole time about how proud he was of me, and how much that I have grown up in the last month. That made me proud, that made me feel maybe my dad would treat me better and I could actually come back home with out us fighting. And maybe have a happy home. Well I got up to use the bathroom, and when I walked out Val was there to meet me.
"umm I don't know if it would be a good idea to tell your dad"
"why" i asked with this confused face.
"I don't know, well I don't want him to be pissed if he doesn't approve"
"he'll approve" I said looking into his eyes
"I don't know"
"OK just see how it plays out" I said as I walked back to my seat.

When we got to Chicago, we had practice at Wrigley Field. I was freezing. All i brought was jeans. I didn't bring a big coat. So my dad told me to skip practice and have Hannah and I go on a shopping trip, to find a coat. So we went to the Magnificent Mile. We knew the guys wanted to go out for New Years Eve. So we got cute cocktail dresses. Mine was black strapless dress with sweetheart neckline, that went to the middle of my thigh, it was black and was tight against my body. I wore a big red belt with it.
"So when are you going to tell your dad about, well you and Val" Hannah asked as we tried on shoes.
"um well he was suppose to ask if he could date me on this trip, but he wants to wait so I don't know" I said trying on these silver stilettos.
"well at least he asking and respecting your dad's rules" She said
"yeah"

We went back to the hotel and got ready. I straighted my hair, and teased it on top so it was a little poofy, and did my make up very dark, and glittery. I wore my new black dress, and paired it with a leather jacket, and some red shiny stilettos. The guys wanted to go this bar named Excalibur. It was this castle/church that was turned into a nightclub. It was loud. We danced, and drank till our hearts content. The guys had to be very mind full of the game tomorrow. But Hannah and I didn't have a game, so we drank. When the ball dropped, it was amazing. I was in Val's arms, and He was my first of the year, and that's the way I wanted it.

I was so drunk, I was stumbling everywhere, and laughing at everything. Val tried walking me to my room, being the gentleman he was.
"You know Val I'm fi....ne" I got out with painful hiccup.
"No, Rebekah your drunk" He said as he got my key out of my purse. He leaned me against the door and his body.
I giggled "were little close Mr. Filppula" I said. As I kissed Val's soft lips.
As I said that, I heard a scary man clear his throat. I turned my head to find this red head man standing there with his sleepwear.It was my dad.
"Dad!" I said.
Val buried his face into my neck, trying to hide his face.
"yes, get to bed, the both of you" He said gritting his teeth.
"Yes coach, I was just making sure she got back to her room" Val said.
"well she's here, now its time for you to get to yours"
"yes sir" Val said
"Ill see you both in the morning" Val said walking to his room
I just put my head in my hand.
"I really thought you were maturing, I guess not"
"Dad, please don't be like that" I said.
"get to bed, you look like a mess" He said as he slammed his door.

*************************************************************************************
I woke up with the worst hang over Ive ever had. I got up, and looked at my make-up running from me crying, my hair was a mess. Even though I was drunk, I still remember all the events that happened. Kissing Val, and my dads disappointed face. I didn't even go to the breakfast, and quickly made my way to the bus. I wore my new coat my dad had gotten me. I sat in the front, and looked out the window. My dad didn't even look my way when he passed. And Val just looked at me in remorse.

When we got to Wrigley Field, I went to the trainer room, and did my normal, taping and icing guys. I was quiet, try to hold down my vomit. I took some painkillers, and had some pepto bismol at my side at all times. My back was to the door, and couldn't see who was next. All I heard were foot steps and the door closed. I turned around to see Val in his shorts and under armour on.
"hey" I said.
"hey" He said looking down.
"about last night, umm" I said leaning up against the counter.
"don't worry about it"
"no, I really don't think this will work out, I mean my dads face, and me I just....." I said trailing off.
he got closer with every word I said, until finally, he was staring me down. He grabbed my face, and held it so gently. He just gazed at it for awhile, then slowly leaned in and kissed me.
"Babe, nothing is going to change about how I feel for you, I mean your dad might hate me, but that doesn't change that I like you"
"I know, and I really like you, but you didn't see his face when He said that he thought I was maturing, and he called me a mess, That hurt" I said feeling the tears form at my eyes. He leaned in and wiped them away, and kissed me again.
"That just means I have to ask a little sooner than wanted"
"when will that be"I asked.
"When I'm not scared of your dad"
We both laughed, and stood there holding each other, like there was no one else but us. I loved moments like this when I had him all too myself. We just have to face these obstacles that awaited us.

3- This is my confession

Val POV

The more time I spent with Beka, the more I liked her. She was different, and unique. Yeah she had her insecurities that I saw about herself but she was rebellious and outgoing and I really liked it. But I could tell her and dad's relationship was a bad one. I could tell she was hurt about it. When I saw him and her arguing, he said something about getting men, and all she did was walk off. I could tell that hurt her. When I saw her on the bench alone, she looked sad and hurt, which made made me sad. During the water break I couldn't but stare at her. She happened to look up from her clip board and saw me and smiled. I smiled back and made my way over to her. We talked for a bit. I wanted to find out if she was ok. Then I heard a scary forceful voice.

"Filppula water break done, lines NOW"

Crap, well I skated away, and did my suicides. It seemed like forever. I'm quads were killing me as I skated. I happened to look over and saw Babs talking to Beka. It seemed heated, because I heard her clipboard slam to the ground, and her walk through the tunnel. I finally got to stop and before I knew it practice was over. Beka never came back. I was kinda worried about her. I didn't know if she was the type to do something crazy. I got changed and had to find her and to see if she was ok. I looked all over for her. I looked in the trainer room, i looked in the office,everywhere. I finally gave up. as I was walking through the visitor locker room I heard crying. I went to the showers only to find Beka sitting there with makeup running down her face.
"oh, hey Val" she said as she wiped her tears away
'hey"
"What are you doing"
"I was actually looking for you"
"why"
"because, I saw you storm off, and I wanted to check on you"
"well thanks, but I'm fine"
"are you sure, you don't look like it"
"Val, i don't want to involve you with my issues"
"what if I do though"
"why would you want that"
"um, I don't know, maybe I like you"
Her head turned as she wiped her tears away.
"Val, I'm not a good person"
"I think you are"
But Ive done stuff to bring shame to my name, believe me you don't want a girl like me"
"what do you mean"
she wiped her eyes again
"My dad just thinks of me as this slut, and rebel, yeah Ive gad my slutty tendencies, but that was back in college"

I just looked at her spilling her heart out. I saw her insecurities come out. It was her dad. Her dad talked down to her, treated her as if she was a reject. She was trying her hardest to win him back, but it just wouldn't work. As I stared into her eyes and looked at her full mouth. I just had to kiss her. I just leaned in and gently kissed her. She brought her hand up and cupped my chin. She was such a great kisser. If she was this good of a kisser, I wondered how good in bed she would be.

As we made out. She made her way on to my lap, as I cupped her ass. She wrapped her her arms around my neck. She definitely knew what she was doing and she was good at it. I held her body close to mine. I didn't want to let her go. Ive never had strong feelings like this for a girl. Even when I dated Heidi, I waited a couple of dates to even kiss her, let alone have her sit on my lap, and me feel her up. Actually I think Ive never done that with any girl. But Rebekah was different. i don't know how, she just was. As we separated, breathless, a smile came over her face,and mine too.
"so what makes you think I dint want to be with a girl like you"
She laughed and got up off of me.

As we walked out of the lockeroom, everyone was gone, and Babs was waiting for her in the car.
"well I guess Ill see you tomorrow"
"yeah, unless you wanna come over and watch a movie"
"Yeah, Id like that"

My POV

As I got into the car. I could tell my dad was pissed. He was just sitting there staring ahead.

"so what was that about" still starring ahead
"what"
"you and Filppula"
"well, after you embarrassed me in front......."
"don't talk to me about embarrassment, think you've done enough of that for the both of us"
"you know what, I cant take this" I said as I got out of the car and just walked off.
I was kinda expecting him to at least try to get me to come back, but he didn't, he just drove off.

I had no one to call but Hannah, Jon's girlfriend, and my bbf. Her and I played hockey back in high school, and college, Until I went off to University of North Dakota. She knew what I had done, And she never judged me because she knew I wasn't like that anymore. She was just always there when the others weren't. Well we went to pick up my car, and found out it wouldn't be ready till tomorrow. Which left early in the morning for Dallas.

Well I couldn't stay at my house right now. It just wouldn't be good. So I grabbed some clothes and toiletries, quickly. I felt bad for my mom, she had to deal with our constant fighting, and me leaving constantly. But my mom knew when things got like this, it was better if I just went away for a couple of days.

When we got to Hannah's house. I saw bunch cars, and thought oh crap, I'm gonna have to deal with people. When i walked in, I saw Jon, Jiri, Darren, Derek, and Val all sitting around watching TV. I walked down the hall and up the stairs and quietly and unnoticed as possible. As I put my stuff in the normal room where I stayed at when things got like this. I sat stuff down and got the situated , for the nest days.

"hey" I heard a deep manly voice
I turned to find Val standing in the door way
"hey"
"so what brings you here"
"I really don't want to involve you"
"Involve me with what"
"With my crazy screwed up life" I said as I unpacked my stuff, he just sat on the bed, where I probably slept more then I actually slept in my bed when I came home.
"your life isn't screwed up"
"Val, you don't even know"
"yeah, i know a person whose life is screwed up, they don't admit that its screwed up"
I laughed.
"I guess, i just don't understand, what have I done to my dad. Well I know what I did, and I have apologized, so many times, I just don't know if I will ever get his trust back"
"may I ask what have you done"
"well Ive had pictures taken of me partying hard, Ive been known to sleep with guys, and getting fired for jobs where I slept with a worker, I got kicked of U of M's Hockey team for sleeping with the captain of the guys hockey team, "
He had this look on his face like a stone.
"and that's not even the half of it"
"you've done more"
"yeah, so you can go and run away now, I wont be hurt" I said as I placed my toiletries out, I knew I was gonna be there for a couple days. I turned around to be met with Val's lips. He held my face, and gently kissed me. I had to kiss him back. Out of all the guys Ive kids, he was hands down the best. He wasn't slobbery or messy, just gentle, but I still could taste the sparks on his tongue.

He pulled away, and my lips were still in a pucker position.

"Rebekah, I'm not gonna run away and hide, i really like you and want to get to know you, and your not like any girl Ive ever met, I like that, who cares about the past, because I don't, that's why we call it the past"

I was speechless, no guy has ever said that to me. The usual response, is either they get me back in bed, or they run away and never call me again. I wrapped my hands around his neck, and brought my lips up to his. As I slipped my tongue in his mouth, He brought his hands down to my ass, which made me kiss him harder. We made out till we heard someone come in the room.

"eckhem"
We turned around to find Hannah standing there.

"I just wanted too wee how you were coming along, and it looks like your coming along fine" she said as she left and went down stairs. We both looked at each other and laughed.

2- Insecure

Vals POV
I looked for Beka all over. I looked at the table where he had been sitting, I looked up in the balcony, I even had a girl look in the restrooms for me. Beka was no where to be found. I was getting tired, and the whole club scene was definitely not for me. So I headed home around 12:30. As I was driving, I kept replaying the kiss over and over, and over again in my head. It had started to rain so, I had to minimize my speed a little. As I was driving, I saw this car that looked like Rebekahs, and a figure that looked like Rebekahs too. As I passed it, I saw, it was Rebekah. I couldn't just leave her out here. If coach found out I did that, I would be doing lines for the rest of the season. So I turned my car around and headed in her direction again.

As I pulled up, she was drenched from the rain. and I could tell she was extremely cold, since it was December.

"Rebekah"
"VAl?"
"what are you doing?"
"ummmm, well, funny story, my car well, it died"
"did you call a tow truck?"
"yeah"
I knew I was gonna do something stupid, but I couldn't leave her out here.

"Get in the car"
"no, I'm fine, go home you have an early practice tomorrow"
"Rebekah, get in the car, before I call your dad"
"fine"

She made her way over to my car and got in. She was soaked. Her beautiful curls were now droopy and wet. Her eye makeup was running down her cheeks, and her shirt she had been wearing was now covered with water. Even with her like this, she still was so beautiful.

"thanks for stopping"
"no problem, if your dad found out that I had left you out here, I would be skating lines for the rest of the season"
"ha ha, yeah, that's my dad"
She sounded very sarcastic about it.
"is there something wrong"
"no, well...kinda"
I knew I was gonna probably not like this, but I had to know more about this girl.

"What then"
"he's always pushed me, and pushed me, I mean, I had to be the best girl on my hockey team growing up, I had to be perfect, at everything, perfect shooter, perfect skater, perfect at everything"
wow, someone else like my father.
"well how did you handle it"
"I just rebelled against him in little ways"
"like how?"
"like highlighting my hair, and getting a belly button piercing, or getting this Red Wing tattoo on my foot" She said as she pulled her foot out to show me
It was very very cute.

We sat in the car for about an half hour just talking about everything. From me competing with my brothers, to her coming to Detroit to possibly make her dad happy with again. Finally the tow truck came. As I got out with her, I saw this guy was so dark weird looking. There was no way I was letting Beka ride in the same car as him.

"are you gonna need a ride back to your house" the weird guy asked.
Before she even had to time to open her lips I had already spoke for her.
"no, Ill be giving her a ride home"
She looked up at me and gave me a look.

As we got into the car, her look was still there.

"what was that for"
"there is no way I'm letting you ride in the same car as that creeper"
She laughed.
"well thanks"
"your welcome"
"so where do you live?"
"well I'm with my parents, sooooo..."
"so drop you off at your dads house"
"yeah, I don't know if its a good idea for me to go home tonight"
I knew I was really gonna be regretting this.
"soo do you want to stay with me tonight, Ive got three spare bedrooms"
"are you sure?"
"yeah, its fine"
"OK"

When we got to my house, it was weird bringing a different girl home, especially since she wasn't my girlfriend and sadly I knew she wouldn't be sleeping in the same bed. I showed her to her room.

"Is there anything I could get you, dry clothes"
"yeah, could I get some clothes"
I went and got some of Heidi's stuff she had left here. Yeah she takes refrigerator magnets, but forgets her clothes.
"wow, women's clothes Filppula?"
"their my exes"
"OH, well thanks"
"no problem, if there's anything I can get you, I'm right across the hall" I said as began to walk out and shut the door.
"Val"
"yep" I said as I turned around.
"Thanks" she said with a smile
"your welcome"

My POV

When I woke up, It was weird. I guess I'm not used to waking up in a guys house, with out being spooned or groped by a guy. I guess that makes me a slut. But I guess that's me. I looked over and it was a 7:45. I laid in the bed, and observed his spare room. Even being a spare bed room, it was so organized. Every thing was in its place, and neat. nothing like my place. Clothes thrown every where, and hockey stuff all over. I lad my head down on the pillow, only to have my phone blast in my ear. My ringer was the wings horn when they scored, so I knew it was my dad.

"hello"
"hello, Rebekah where are you"he sounded worried, not the first time hes sounded that way.
"um, yeah dad, the car broke down, soo...."
"So what"
"well Val, saw me and......."
"Oh my God Rebekah, your first day on the job and you've already slept with one of my players"
"No I didn't, he knew you were gonna be pissed if I came home without the car, so he offered to let me stay"
"OK, I just know how you are, and that you sometimes..."
"yeah we know" I said in disgusts that my dad even thinks I'm a slut.
"well is there anything I bring you"
"actually yeah, can you bring me a pair of jeans, my black sweater with the zipper, my black clogs,a belt and a new pair of underwear and a bra"
"anything else"
"oh, yeah, toiletries, and a blow drier"
"oh my God Rebekah, who are you trying to impress"
"you daddy"I said all sweet trying to make him like me again
"awww,that's a load of crap well I'll see you when you get to the Joe"
"OK, love you..."
Before I could that out he hung up the phone. I'm not gonna lie. That hurt like hell. and I couldn't help but cry a little. He couldn't even tell his only child he loved her. What have I done to hurt him.

Well anyways I walked down the huge stair case to find Val eating cereal. He was so hot in his t-shirt and gym shorts.
"Good Morning"
"good, morning"
"SO was that your dad you were talking to"
"oh, yeah," I said sit across from him
"was there anything wrong"
"huh, no, just being Dad"
"oh, OK, do you want anything"
"umm do you have tea"
"Yeah" he said as he got up and made me a cup.
He sat back down, and just stared into my eyes. It was weird, because I could tell he saw through me. All my insecurities, all my problems, everything.
I kinda liked it because, he didn't try anything, like the others, he was a perfect gentleman. Something I was just not use to.

"So, I'm guessing you need a ride to the Joe"
"yeah, is that possible, I could get one from you, I mean, you've already done enough and......"
"Rebekah, your not bothering me one bit, don't worry about it" He said and smiled, it made me feel warm inside. Something I had never felt, like, EVER!

Well we got ready, only clothes I had was my clubbing clothes, and my hair looked a mess I tried fixing it by putting back in a ponytail. And of course Val looked hot, with his suit, and his hair nice and showered. Me I looked like one of those girls sneaking back into their apartment at 6:00 in the morning after a one night stand.

The car ride was pretty comfortable. He just laughed at my on going talking, and funny stories, and I knew that he didn't want to get into my pants.

When we got to the Joe, we casually walked in. We didn't get to many stares, but we got one big stare. From my dad.

"Rebekah, your stuff is the visitor locker room"
"thanks dad"
"yeah hurry, because your the only trainer here"
"what? where's Jon"
"He's sick, so you actually have to work"
"what do you mean, I do work"
by that time Val had went to his locker room but I could see him behind my dad still watching. He was hot, but not sneaky.
"yeah, work on getting men"
"Whatever, dad, yeah I'll hurry" I said as I walked away, and tried not to cry, or through something at him, or both.

I took my shower, and did my make-up, and got dressed. For having a hard night and morning, I looked exceptionally cute. Even hurrying as fast as I could I still was good 15 minutes late. I took my place on the bench and observed. I observed how each player played. I mean, since I played hockey, I tended to critique players, and they way they played. I observed Val, he was smooth, kinda quick, but lacked confidence. He was super shy. I felt myself very attracted to him. But I've been known to be attracted to Hockey players. If their good at hockey, their hot in my book.

During the water break, I caught Val, looking at me, and I smiled. He smiled back, and skated over to me.
"is everything OK" He asked.
"Yeah, why you ask"
"well I saw your little disagreement"
"oh, yeah, um that's just my dad being my dad"
"yeah I'm sor...."
"Filppula, water break done, lines now" My dad said
I felt stupid.
He skated away and served his punishment. I felt so bad. I felt drawn to him almost, and I don't know something was just different. I knew I was gonna fall hard with this one.
