October
The Rangers were playing the Blackhawks at home to open their season at MSG.
Maya was watching the game in a box along with Clare, Tristan, Fabio, Becky, Jonah, Imogen, and Rock.
Mrs. Saunders was talking to her baby. "We're at Daddy's first NHL game."
"That's disgustingly cute," Tristan told her.
Imogen had Rock in her lap. "Dad's going to play soon."
"Daddy!"
Cam's parents and his sister wanted to be closer to the ice. Maya understandably wanted to be away from the public.
"I can't believe our little boy is in the NHL," Beth told her husband.
"And he's married with a baby on the way. He grew up fast."
Dot rolled her eyes. "He's still a weenie in my book."
The first period was a bitter stalemate. There were no goals and there wasn't much going on offensively for either team.
Cam hadn't gotten any ice time yet. It was his first game, so he expected as much.
In the second period, however, his coach decided he needed a spark.
"Saunders, you're in."
"Now coming in for the Rangers, #23, Cam Saunders."
The crowd was roaring. His jersey had been one of the best selling Rangers jerseys in years and he hadn't even played his first game. The expectations were high. Cam aspired to crush them.
Right away, the atmosphere changed. Cam was quick and would poke away at the puck, disrupting the Blackhawks possessions.
This didn't immediately fix the Rangers' inability to score, but it did get the Blackhawks flustered and making mistakes.
One of the Blackhawks got a penalty for high-sticking. This gave the Rangers a power play, and they took advantage of it, taking shot after shot and not letting the puck leave their strike zone.
It was only a two-minute power play and after 90 seconds, they didn't have anything.
Cam got the puck after the goalie made a save and aimed for the top right corner. It just squeezed in, goal!
The power play was over, but the party was just beginning. The crowd was on their feet. This was the best way to start a career.
Maya was definitely a soccer mom the way she was cheering. The little Princess was kicking happily. The game continued to be a power-struggle. The Rangers went on to win it 4-2. Cam didn't score again, but he assisted the third goal.
"ROOKIE! ROOKIE!"
The team celebrated on their way to the locker room.
"I don't want this getting to your heads," the coach chided them.
The team went silent.
"Fuck it, today was awesome!"
"WOO HOO!"
Cam had a stupid grin on his face as they all got in the showers.
Owen asked Cam what had him so happy.
"Maya made a new rule. If I score on the ice, I score off the ice."
Owen punched his arm. "You lucky bastard!"
"Oh yeah," and he knew just what he wanted to use, the chocolate sauce and that rope.
"No fair," Maya pouted as she tugged on the restraints.
"What's not fair?"
"I want to touch you."
"You will, once I'm done."
He covered her in the chocolate paint and took his time licking it off.
By the end of it, Maya was desperate for him.
"CAM FUCK ME!"
"As you wish."
He untied her, got her on all fours, and took her from behind.
She came instantly, and Cam was just getting started. "Maybe I should tie you up more often."
"OH FUCK!"
He grabbed her shoulders and began to thrust.
Maya swore he ruined her for all other men. How do you beat an athletic stud with a huge cock who can keep it up all night?
She came two more times before he was ready. He pulled out and came all over her breasts and stomach.
Before Maya knew it, Cam had put a pillow under her lower back and lined up so he could get back inside her.
"OH CAM!"
He kissed her lips. "I'm all yours baby."
January 2021
Cam and Maya finally had their apartment to themselves again. Maya's family had flown in from Toronto, since she couldn't fly to them, but they were a bit much sometimes.
"I can't wait for her to come out," Maya was sick of being pregnant.
Cam kissed her neck. "I know something that might help."
Maya grinned as Cam scooped her up and ran with her into the bedroom.
The next morning, Maya woke Cam up to say, "my water broke."
His eyes grew wide. "I'll call for the driver." Luckily, Cam didn't have a game tonight or tomorrow night.
They got the baby bag and got her into the back of the town car. Cam brought some towels for her to sit on.
Maya was so scared. It was happening. They were becoming parents.
An hour later, they were in a hospital room. Maya had a long way to go before she'd be ready to push. Cam called Dallas to let him know they were in the hospital and he called his coach to say he wouldn't be into practice today.
Maya called her sister and Tristan.
Cam took Maya's hand in hers.
Six hours later
"HOLY FUCKING HELL I HATE THIS I'LL KILL YOU CAM!"
He knew better than to remind her that he didn't knock her up. "You're beautiful and amazing!"
Two hours later
Tristan and Fabio came as soon as they got out of school. Clare was coming after work and the Rangers were coming by with cigars once they were done with their workout.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Maybe she's almost there," Fabio suggested.
Three hours later
"It's time," the doctor told her. "I need you to push."
"Why don't I push my foot up your ASS!"
Twenty minutes later, they heard crying.
A blonde haired, blue eyed, baby girl was born. The nurse cleaned her up and then Maya got to hold her. "She's gorgeous."
"I'm glad she looks like you," Cam told her. He did not want her to look like that wimp Miles.
"Me too."
They were ready to introduce her to their family and friends.
"Everyone, meet Caroline Elizabeth Saunders."
Maya was exhausted. "Childbirth sucks."
"Yes, it does" her mother told her.
Caroline was worth it. She'd always be worth it.
Katie was the first to hold Caroline after her parents. "She's so tiny." Katie knew she was a ways away from motherhood, but being an Auntie sounded like fun.
The Rangers smoked cigars in the courtyard and all was well. Their family was complete.
Caroline's birth announcement didn't come for another two weeks. They wanted to wait until they were out of the hospital in case the media got too aggressive.
Cam hired a housekeeper to come clean the apartment twice a week. Maya said she could do it, and Cam knew she could, but the new mother was tired enough as it was, and with Cam in the middle of the regular season, he wasn't around as much as he would like to be.
"Just use the time that you would have spent cleaning to try and get a little rest." Cam kissed her forehead.
Maya was tired, but she was happy. She had the family she never knew she had always wanted.
