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.
