Enjoy this long one
____________

First week of May

First round of playoff
Game 3

"Let's go oilers! Let's go oilers!" The fans start chanting. I sit back watching and occasionally taking small sips of the ginger ale. It's been about a month since we found out that I'm pregnant and I'm about 2 months.

We still haven't told anyone and the only ones that do know are jay and zach. The WAGS think we're still trying and my teammates still have no idea.

The buzzer goes and the first period ends 1-0 La. Games 1 and 2 were in La, the kings won games one and the oilers won game 2. This series is definitely going to be interesting but I believe in them.

Jules stands up "let's go get more drinks" she says. "I'm good with this but I'll come anyways" i reply standing up. "You're being very cautious about not drinking" she comments as we leave the suite. "Just wanna make sure we can conceive" I reply shrugging.

A few smells run through my nose as we get out there, one in particular bothering my nose. We get closer to the smell and it start to bother me more, my stomach twists and I feel nauseous. "Crap" I whisper running off to the bathroom.

I empty my stomach into the toilet and flush wiping my face "can you give me a break?" I quietly ask the baby currently growing in my stomach. "Scar? You ok?" Alannah asks. I open the door and she's there with jules and gabi. "Uh yeah guess I ate something I shouldn't have" I lie.

Gabi smirks "how long are you gonna use that as an excuse?" She asks. "Wh-what?" I ask. "Oh come on you haven't been drinking for what 2 months now? And you've been wearing baggy clothes lately, how far along are you?" She answers.

Alannahs jaw drops when she realizes "are you really?" she asks. I can't help but smile "yeahhhhh I'm 2 months" I answer. She happily hugs me with her bump getting in the way "I knew we'd be pregnant together" she gushes. "I had a feeling too" I reply.

"That's amazing, wait does that mean we're down a captain?" Jules asks. "Yeah I'm sorry" I answer. "Its okay it's totally okay I'm so happy for you" she says then hugs me tightly. "Only a few people know" I reply. "Like?" Alannah asks. "Zach knows, he figured it out sometime last week when I was at a practice and didn't put skates on to practice with them" I answer.

She shakes her head "of course he did" she says. "I asked him not to say anything so don't get mad at him" i tell her. "Oh I'm not mad i get it" she says. "Theres non-alcoholic wine we can get you" gabi says. "Nah I'd rather have the real thing once babies here" I reply.

We talk on the way back to the suite and the periods started and we're now down by 2 and it's 3-1. "Who scored for us?" I ask lauren. "Leon" she answers. "Fuck I missed it" i frown. "It was good" she says then shows me the highlights on her phone.

It was clean, they showed the celebration he looked over at the suites and frowned then skated over to the bench. Crap. I hope he isn't worried.

Leon's point of view

After scoring I look up at the suite expecting to see scarlett but she is missing but so is alannah, gabi and jules. Weird. I skate over to the bench and sit down, zach sits down beside me "why so sad?" He asks. "She's not in the suite, what if she's getting sick?" I reply just so he can hear.
