Julie's POV
I entered Connie's room as silently as I could but it wasn't quiet enough, she woke up and looked at me with a smile
"Did you talk to Guy?" Connie asked hopeful that he'd be there to whisk her off to California with him and be rid of her Mother and her adoption ideas.
"Honey, I called the motel..." I said sitting down next to her. Her face went blank,
"But?" She asked. I tried to smile.
"But he'd already checked out.." Connie started to cry.
"Cons, look I'll find him okay? I'll send Adam to California if I have to." I said feeling bad all over again.
"No, Jules. you tried. He just...He just can't forgive me this time and I can't blame him, I've ruined everything." She said crying. I moved up to the bed and hugged my best friend as she cried.
6 monthes later
Connie's POV
I sat at the kitchen table reading the newspaper.
"Jules, you don't have to stay here." I yelled into Julie who was making up the couch.
"Yes, I do, Constance! What if you go into labor and no one's here?" She mimiced my mother, I laughed silently and I shook my head in agreement.
"Thanks, Jules...For being here for me." I said giving her a hug as I went into the other room she had to reach over my over grown stomach.
"Connie, There's no where else I could think of being." I smiled as she hugged me again before she went back to the living room.
"So where's Adam this week?"
"Oh, He's still in the playoffs, I think they were going to California..."
"Is he playing Guy?" I asked.
"I don't know...You want me to find out?" Julie asked.
"No, Thanks. It's too late now." I said rubbing her stomach.
"Cons, It's not to late until you die. You can't think that way...You're gonna have two little beautiful babies in a few days...Do you know what you're having yet?" Julie said smiling. I smiled back.
"No, I don't want to know...I want to be suprised." Connie laughed "Speaking of that, I need to finished the babies' room."I said standing up with a little trouble to walk down the hall.
"Connie..." Julie said following me. I had just moved into this new house after my parents finally disowned me when I said I wasn't giving the babies up for adoption and they couldn't handle having a Germaine baby in their family let alone two. I sat down in the middle of the babies' room and looked at the walks I was painting. I was making it look like an outdoor scene with clouds on the walls and grass alone the bottom with kites in the sky and airplanes.
"You know, Jules. I haven't even met them yet and I already love them." I said rubbing my stomach, "They're all I have left!" I cried.
"Connie, you have me and Adam and Charlie's been over here atleast three times this week." Julie said to make me laugh. I thought about Charlie, Captain duck could always be counted on.
"I just wish Guy hadn't given up on me." I said with a little self pity.
"Cons, Guy loves you...He'll be back.." Julie said. I didn't have time to dream, I thought as I got up and began to get ready to finish painting.
I stood on a step ladder painting the ceiling as Julie had went into the other room to finish unpacking and came back in, standing in the doorway,
"Missy, should you be up there is your condition?" She asked coming into the room. I laughed
"I'm just about done..." I said finishing the cloud I was painting. I put down the paint brush and began to climb down when I felt a sharp pain in my side.
"Ow..." I cried out holding my stomach
"What's wrong?" Julie asked. I felt liquid coming down my leg.
"My water broke..." I screamed as a contraction enveloped my body.
"Alright...I'm getting my keys and your bag..Let's go..." Julie said helping me out the door.
Guy's POV
I sat in the locker room suiting up for the much anticipated playoff finals against Boston. It was still bothering I hadn't heard or seen Connie since that phone call. I had no idea what was going on with her or where she was for that matter..
"Germaine, let's go! This is the big time!" My coach yelled as the other players yelled and got ready to go out. I was the first one out and saw Banks on the other side.
"Great!" I thought sacrcastially, "That's all I need." I skated out on the ice, trying not to look at Banks.
"Hey, Guy!" Banks yelled waving a little.I acknowledged him with a nod but didn't go over.
Adam's POV
My phone began to ring on the bench as I skated over and answered it,
"Hello?"
"Honey, Connie's water broke, we're heading to the hospital..."
"Okay, I'm at the last game today, we're playing Guy, should I try to talk to him?" I asked confused
"Adam, just do whatever you think is best, I gotta go, Connie's screaming." Julie said hanging up
"...Tell Connie I send my best wishes" I said making a kiss noise and hanging up the phone. She was so fast on her phone calls lately.
Julie's POV
Connie and I entered the hospital and were directed to maternity on the third floor. Once in a room, Connie changed with help from me and yelled out in pain from another contraction.
"Julie, I can't do this, I changed my mind..."
"It's too late for that sweetheart." I laughed. The nurse came in to examine Connie and see how she was doing.
"It's going to be a while..." She said."Would you like some pain medication to take the edge off those contractions?"
"Yes, Yes, absolutely Yes!" Connie almost screamed. The nurse injected her and she passed out while I sat down to watch the TV in the silence of the room.
Adam's POV
I sat on the bench as the game was in it's 3rd quarter and watched Guy skate to get the puck and make shot. I hadn't been on the ice close enough to Guy to tell him what was going on, if he'd even listen to me. If only I could just tell him that at that very moment, Connie was across the country giving birth to their child.
I heard my cellphone ring again.
"That was fast..."I said picking it up
"She's still in labor..." Julie said with a sigh, "Remind me never to have kids.."
I laughed
"How's she doing?"
"Not good...she's in a lot of pain...She's gonna want Guy here..." Julie said I looked at the soon to be Father on the ice.
"Okay, I'll get him..." I said hanging up. The buzzer sounded for the replacements to go out on the ice. I went out, squaring of against Guy in the face off.
"Guy...I need to tell you something..." I said as the puck was dropped, Guy took the puck as I followed him.
"What do you want Banks, to tell me everything I'm missing?" He said a little bitter
"Guy, listen Connie ever meant to stand you up." I started.
"So, she just wanted to make me look like an idiot?" He asked
"No, Guy stop!" I yelled as I checked him against the glass. He came back at me, pissed off.
"So what Adam you taking sides in this now, I thought you had my back."
"Man, I do have your back." I said to my roommate of 2 years. "Connie loves you!"
"Sure, How many chances do I have to give her?"
"Guy, She was in the hospital...That's why she wasn't there." I yelled getting the puck.
"What?" Guy asked as we fight over the puck in the corner.
"Connie's Pregnant..." I said with a grunt of flustration. Guy let me have the puck as I shot it to another player.
"What!" Guy yelled again as confused as ever
"Guy, she didn't want you to give this up for her...she tried to make things right and fell, she almost had a miscarriage. Then her parents came and took over, she's back in Minnesota." I said finally getting through to him
"She's in labor now and she needs you..." I said. Guy stood there for a minute and then ran off the ice to the protest of his coach, the fans, and his team. I smiled slightly as the buzzer sounded to the game being over. I had finally done something right, I thought, Julie would be proud of me.
NOTE: HEHE, another cliffhanger...So will Guy get there in time, Will Connie want to see him?...What will happen next...Just two more Chapters left to go...
