punkteacher: Yah...A new reviewer. If you would like to read This Is My Life just click on my author link and it's still up...Thanks for the compliments... I'll have to check out your story as well. You'll see some Charlie in this chapter maybe more later haven't decide if i want to go in one direction or the other. You'll see what I mean as the story goes on...
Em:Thanks for the contructive critism, I usually read them myself before I post, believe me, I'm like obsessed about mistypes myself. The first story was my first and I really rushed it because I wanted to hear what people thought , that's why there's a few mistakes but I still really tried. Also sometimes like in the first one I'd do the spell check and it wouldn't pick up grammatical errors, so I really try to just read it myself. That one caught me a lot like i and me getting mixed up or like not putting a 's on somethings to symbolize ownership, so I don't want you to think I'm a lazy writer I'm not but this one I've been reading over as I post but I'm only human I miss some. I'll keep you in mind to be my beta for the future. Thanks again you're actually the first one to call me on that, I'll more critical now...I hope that they don't take away from the story because it's good story...I hope you still like it...
Chapter 2:
Connie's POV
It was sunny Minnesota morning as I dropped the kids off at they're elementary school. I went to work late so I always drove them to school and they did daycare after school so Guy would always pick them up. It would have to work differently this week, I thought pulling up to the curb. The idea of the bus never thrilled me since it had become a place where drug deals and fights broke out, so we decided on our own transportation.
"Be good!" I yelled as they got out. Emily waved,
"Bye Mommy!" Before running off into the school.
"Dillion!" I said as he began to walk away. He turned around.
"He'll be back.." I started, trying to make him feel better.
"I know, Mom. He tells me it everytime..." He said turning around. He was so much like his Father sometimes it scared me.
"Dillion, I love you!" I said as he waved heading into the school. I sighed, hoping he wouldn't cause trouble with the other kids because he was in a bad mood.
I met Julie as the front entrance to our office building. We didn't work for the same company but we were in the same building down town.
"Hey, did they get to the airport?" I asked, always worried when Guy took trips.
"No, I dropped them in downtown and left them there.." She said seriously then laughed. "Of course they did.." I sighed. Julie picked up on my worry.
"What's wrong?" She asked looking at me.
"Oh, probably nothing. Dillion's just mad Guy left again.." I said. Julie shook her head,
"It's tough on kids...I'm not exactly thrilled Adam left now considering.." She said touching her overgrown stomach.
"How are you feeling?" I said relating to both the joy and pain of pregnancy.
"Oh, better than yesterday but worse than the day before.." She laughed
"I know that feeling.." I said briefly remembering the scar I now had on my lower abdomen for the delivery.
"It's hard to believe their gonna 6 next March.." She said suddenly making me feel old. I was only 24.
"Yeah times flys by fast.." I said.
"So have you and Guy talked about more kids?" She asked. I looked at her a little suprised,
"No, we haven't since the kids were born. I've just been, you know, going back to school and Guy's been trying to get back into the pros, you know..." I said as the elevator dinged to signal we'd arrived at my floor.
"See you later, Jules..." I said stepping off.
"Byes, Cons..See you at Lunch." She said as I cringled, It wasn't that Julie wasn't my best friend but lately it was as if she wanted to talk about everything I didn't from Guy's and mine personal life to how old I was feeling. I entered my office with a sigh. My secretary Terri came in,
"Good Morning Mrs. Germaine, Can I get you anything? Coffee, latest newspaper..."
"No, I'm fine..." I said as I looked out the window.
"Mr. Neilson said he'd be down later to discuss you're latest designs.." She smiled. I looked at her for a second then smiled a little,
"Good news, I hope.." I said as shenodded and then left. I had been working with this company for the past year and hadn't gotten any of my designs approved as of yet for manufacturing. I am a fashion designer as I like to tell people. I glaced at the wall at all my awards from school. The only awards that were missing were my hockey awards. They were at home on the wall in the den with Guy's that overwelmed mine 3 to 1 but they were still there. I sighed sitting down to go to work.
3 and a half hours later
I sat at my big wodden desk as my boss, Mr. Neilson entered and stood just beyond the door frame.
"Mrs. Germaine, we need to talk about your latest work.." He said with a smile forming on his face. I smiled too, I had been waiting to hear this for a long time. My secretary entered behind him with a long face.
"Connie, there's call for you on line 1, it's about your son..."She said stepping back out. I looked down at the phone light blinking at me to signal I had a call. I slowly picked it up putting the phone to my ear.
"This is Connie Germaine." I said as my heart stopped.
"Mrs. Germaine, this is Mrs. Appleton, the school nurse Dillion's had an accident..." She started before I felt my heart drop into my stomach.
"Is he alright?" I asked
"Mrs. Germaine, he fell from the jungle gym during recess...We had to call an ambulence.."
"Why wasn't someone watching him? Where are they taking him?" I asked quickly clearing my desk.
"There were 4 teachers out there, he was well supervised. They're taking him Minnipolis Senai." She said.
"Obivously that wasn't enough, I'm on my way." I said hanging up the phone. "I am so sorry, Mr. Neilson. My son's been taken to the hospital.." I said rushing out of the office before he could say anything.
Guy's POV
I stood on the ice shooting at the net for the 10th time in an hour. The coaches were still looking at me but just kept telling me to do things over and over again, as if they couldn't make up their mind. I had nailed every shot, done all the drills perfectly and was just waiting for an answer from them.
"Alright, Germaine..Come on over.." They said waving me over. I hoped they'd tell me today whether I made the team or not. The suspense was killing me.
"Okay, You have a hell of a shot and your drills look good. I don't know why we didn't have you 5 years ago?" The coach commented as I began to smile.
"Welcome to the Mighty Ducks.." The coach said as I smiled widely.
"Thank you sir." I said shaking his hand.
"Now when can you get moved out here?" The coach asked. I looked around for a second to think.
"Well, I'll have to talk to my wife first, She's gonna be thrilled!" I said still smiling.
"Great, just give us a call at that number and let us know what your doing." The coach said as Guy skated towards the locker room door. Banks stood in the hall waiting for his try-out. I smiled as I came closer and saw he was on the phone.
"Yeah, No, he's right here, Cons. Just calm down.." He said as my face dropped.
"What's wrong?" I asked taking the phone from him. He just motioned for me take the phone and talk to my wife as he went for his try-out.
"Connie, baby, what's wrong?" I asked as she burst into tears mumbling on about something I couldn't understand.
"Connie, calm down, I can't understand you.."
"Guy, Dillion's..." I felt like someone stabbed me in the chest as I tried to make out the rest of it.
"Baby, what's wrong with Dillion?" I asked. She tried to stop crying to talk to me,
"Honey, Dillion's been in an accident. He's unconscience.." She said before crying uncontollably again.
"Okay, I'm on my way back.." I said going to change and grab my things.
Connie's POV
I sat at the side of my 5 year old son as the monitors beeped in a rythme. He looked so small hooked up to all the machines.
"Dillion.." I cried as I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I looked up to find Charlie looking down at me,
"Charlie.." I said as he took me in his arms.
"Connie, I don't know what to say.." He said still holding me, "Have you got any news?" He asked. I shook my head,
"No, the doctors just keep coming in and out, not really saying much." I said wiping at my tears. He picked up a box of tissues handing me one.
"Thanks, I couldn't find them.." I said looking back down at Dillion. "Charlie, I should have know he was upset..I should have pushed him to talk to me.." I said beginning to cry again. Charlie wrapped his arms around me,
"It's okay...It's not your fault..." He said trying to make me feel better.
"Charlie, I can't lose him.."
"You won't..." He said trying to convince me. "Have you talked to Guy?" He asked still holding me.
"Yeah, He's on his way..." I said turning around to Dillion. I glaced at the clock.
"Oh, I gotta go get Emily..." I said, going to stand up.
"I'll go get her.." Charlie said getting up.
"Are you sure?" I asked unsure if it would be okay.
"Yes, You need to be here with Dillion." He said getting his keys. I nooded my head in agreement, looking back at Dillion
"Can you just drop her off at Guy's parents house?" I asked. He shook his head,
"Sure, you gonna be okay?...I'll be back." He asked.
"Yeah, Julie's coming up and Guy's on his way back, I'll be fine for now.." I said taking Dillion's small hand back in mine.
"Okay." He said leaving quickly. I sighed loudly,
"Guy just get here.." I said to myself.
Okay, so what do you think, is Charlie trying to comfort Connie when Guy's not there? Or does he have other plans? I'm still not sure how I'm going with this so let me know what you think...Also I went over this 3 times with the spell checker and three with my own eyes so it shouldn't have any errors...I'm gonna like be obsessed now...lol
Here's your next preview
I sat staring at the monitor reading Dillion's heartbeat and Guy paced the room.
"Can you please stop that?" I asked a little annoyed.
"Oh, so you're allowed to be mad but I'm not!" He said raising his voice. I looked at him.
"Look, Dillion was upset because you left.." She started.
"Oh, so what this is my fault now?" He asked.
"I'm not saying that.." I said looking back at Dillion.
"So what are you saying?" He asked still looking at me.
"Nothing I guess..." I said as the doctor entered the room with a long face. I held my breath as he began to speak...
