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"
"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"
"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 aga
in, that's my girlfriend, hopefully soon Fiance"
in, 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"
"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"
'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
HOLY SHIT! What did you do to me?!?!?! lol MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE. Oh, I forgot. And MORE
ReplyDeleteFantastic update! Adding the young girl in the waiting room was a very nice touch to tell her story when she was younger.
ReplyDeleteSad that Hannah said no, but I think I can see why.
As Always, can't wait for the next update!
