Klinoa- I still have not named him, I've just been calling him 'little man'. Glad you liked both chapters. I fear I have scared off people again.

Meadow567- Janny gets in enough silliness this chapter. I just love writing him as silly.

Lia06- Really? Considering her past I would've expected it later.

Emador- With everyone saying 'FINALLY', I have this big urge to say "The Rock has come back to the WWE" Okay, I'm silly I know. Warning- Janny antics ahead.

February 18, 1980, Lake Placid, NY

(Third Person Point of View)

Kylah hurried into the locker room looking for Craig. She found him in the refreshment area getting a snack.

"Kylah, what's the matter? You look frustrated." Craig said.

"If one more reporter asks me about OC I am going to handcuff myself to him and tote him around with me so they can see for themselves!" she said. "And Herb is griping about the upcoming press conference."

"Look at the bright side, we just beat Romania." Craig smiled.

"That was amazing to watch. But this team is getting more popular every day and the media circus is getting out of hand." She said. "But I am so happy about it because it's finally good news for people to watch."

Craig smiled and hugged her. "You're doing great."

"Thanks…I'm going to be late getting back to the hotel tonight. Herb and I have to work on some things for the press conference." Kylah told him.

"That works out great because a few of the boys invited me to go out with them." Craig said.

"They're not going to a strip club are they?" she asked.

"I don't think so. They know you'd kill them for going to a strip club HERE." Craig laughed.

"Well have fun and keep an eye on them. Where are you men going?" Kylah asked.

"A bar somewhere nearby. The boys want to celebrate." Craig answered.

"Well have fun. I'll see you later tonight." Kylah stood on tiptoe and kissed Craig.

"Don't let Herb drive you crazy." Craig told her.

XXXXxxxXxxxXXX

"So the little woman let you out to play with the boys?" Christoff asked Craig as they found booths at the bar.

"Actually I decided to come on my own. And as it turns out, she had to work late." Craig said.

Janny threw an arm around Craig's shoulders. "Does Kylah make you behave too big guy?"

Craig stared at Janny who withdrew his arm. "I'm going to sit at the next table." Janny said and walked to the next table of boys.

"You'll have to excuse them Coach. They have a preoccupation with you and Kylah." Johnson said.

Craig shook his head. "So I've overheard a few times."

Verchota sat down by Craig. "So Coach…which one you got your eye on?"

"Which one what?" Craig asked.

"Which girl you got your eye on? This bar is full of beautiful women." Verchota beamed.

"Philip, you are an idiot!" Jimmy told him.

Craig rolled his eyes. "Philly, did you forget Kylah?"

"She's not here, she'll never know. We won't tell her. We got your back. We're your boys." Verchota said.

"Why are you talking like you're from Harlem?" Rizzo asked.

"Verchota……I'm dedicated. Haven't you ever been dedicated to a woman before?" Craig said.

"Only his mommy because she does his laundry!" Mac said.

Craig stifled a snicker. "My point is I'm just here to relax."

"Well I am off to meet another soon-to-be satisfied woman." Verchota stood up.

"No groupies!" Craig reminded him.

"Whipped!" Verchota coughed and walked off.

"Ignore him. The only lasting relationship he's ever had is with his right hand." OC said.

Craig raised his eyebrows and ordered a pitcher of beer.

"So how are things with Kylah, in general, nothing personal?" Rizzo asked.

"Couldn't be better." Craig smiled.

"She's a great girl." OC said.

Craig noticed a waitress deliver a tray full of shots to the other table of boys. He kept one eye on that table to see what was going on. Didn't take long to realize that Janny, Silky and Verchota were in a drinking contest.

"What is it with those boys drinking against each other all the time?" Craig asked.

"They are always competing about something." Johnson said. "Telling stories, chasing girls…we won't mention what they did the other night."

"Well if they take this too far, I'm halting their drinks. Kylah and Herb both would kill them if they get in trouble in a public bar." Craig said.

"Kylah would kill us if we got in any trouble. She's strict." OC said.

"But she makes a point…do we really want bad press?" Rizzo asked.

Craig watched as the boys finished the shots on the table, and then walked over to them.

"Take it easy guys. Tipsy is one thing, totally drunk is another. Remember what Kylah told you about representing your country." Craig said.

Silk put his hands on his hips and imitated Kylah's voice. "I don't want to answer questions about you boys being in trouble. Behave yourselves, remember you represent your country and you're America's team!"

Craig rolled his eyes and walked up to the bar to order another pitcher for himself and the boys at his table.

"Excuse me?' Craig looked to see a young red-headed girl next to him. "Aren't you Craig Patrick? The US hockey team's assistant coach?"

"Yes, do you want an autograph or something?" Craig asked.

"No….I see you're here with some of the boys from the team. I was wondering if you would introduce me to some of them?" she asked.

"Look miss, I don't encourage the boys to pick up groupies. If you want to meet them, you're on your own. And their Press Agent doesn't let them have flings so I'd advise you to not waste your time." Craig said.

The girl looked annoyed and walked off. Craig shook his head, grabbed up his pitcher of beer and walked back to the table. Just as Craig sat down, Janny slid in next to him.

"Craig…have you ever considered the joys of older women?" Janny said. He was quite tipsy.

"Janaszak, none of us want to hear about you and your high school lunch lady." Mac said.

"I'm talking to Craig about older women in general. Craig they're the best you should try one." Janny said.

"Try one? You make it sound like trying a new soft drink." Craig rolled his eyes. "And I'm quite happy with the woman I have now."

"Oh I like Kylah…but older women have experience. See they've been around and know what men like in the sack." Janny said.

"Suddenly I feel the need to shower." Rizzo sighed.

"Janny, I thought you liked that translator girl?" Johnson asked.

"I do…but I am sharing my wisdom with a fellow man." Janny said.

"Janny, I appreciate the…advice and I use that term lightly. But Kylah, age and all is fine with me." Craig said.

"Yeah, but lots of older women have their tubes tied…no worry of pregnancy. Kylah could get pregnant!" Janny insisted.

"Thanks for the update…I didn't know that." Craig said sarcastically. "Let me out, I'm going to the restroom."

Janny made his way back to his table and Craig walked to the back of the bar to the men's room.

Craig emerged from the stall to find a young blonde girl standing near the sink.

"Lady, this is the men's room." He told her.

"I know that, I followed you in here. I recognized you when you walked to the bar earlier." She said.

"Well if you wanted an autograph couldn't you wait for me to get back to my table?" Craig asked.

"I don't want an autograph." The blonde said and started walking towards Craig.

Realization dawned on Craig. "Listen lady, I'm not the kind of guy that has sexual encounters in public bathrooms with complete strangers."

"There is a first time for everything. You don't have to be shy." She said and walked closer to Craig. He backed up, trying to get to the door.

"Would it dissuade you to know that I have a girlfriend? A beautiful girlfriend that I am madly in love with." Craig said, still trying to inch towards the door and praying none of the boys walked in.

"She can have you back in 10 minutes." The blonde said.

Craig finally made it to the door, but it wouldn't open.

"I locked it." The blonde said.

Craig groaned and started looking for the deadbolt to unlock it. Just as he spotted it near the top of the door, something fell on his head. Pulling it off, he realized it was the woman's shirt. Not turning around Craig undid the lock and rushed out of the bathroom, her bra landing at his feet in the hall.

Craig hurried back to the table, where the boys all looked at him funny when he sat down.

"Coach, what's the matter? You looked panicked and blushing at the same time." Johnson said.

"I just ran into an aggressive fan." Craig said, not wanting to admit the whole story. He'd heard of women who chased athletes, but he'd never had one pursue him quite this way before.

The boys raised their eyebrows but didn't say anything. Craig looked around the bar and sure enough, lots of the boys were talking to girls. He shook his head, just wanting to get back to the hotel to Kylah.

"You and Kylah have plans for after the Olympics?" Rizzo asked.

"We'll be doing a lot of flying to see each other and I imagine my phone bill will match her credit card bill." Craig laughed.

Verchota sat down next to Craig. Phil was drunk; obviously he kept drinking after Craig stopped the contest.

"Craig, you boinking Kylah yet?" Verchota asked.

Craig did a double take as Johnson choked on his drink.

"Verchota you're drunk and that's none of your business." Mac said.

"Mac's right. Kylah's and my private life is private." Craig said.

"I'm just looking out for you. I don't want you to be like Virgin boy over there." Phil said and pointed to Ramsey.

Silk leaned over from the next table. "At Coach Craig's age…do you really think he's a virgin?"

"No, but that doesn't mean he's getting any either." Verchota said.

"That's enough. Locker room talk is one thing. I can even take a joke now and then, but you guys get drunk and too involved in my business." Craig said.

"We're just curious. Kylah's so pretty it's hard not to wonder what goes on behind closed doors." Verchota said.

"And when we get behind closed doors." Janny started singing off key.

"We're sorry Coach, they get drunk and stupid. They really don't mean it. They won't remember any of this when they sober up." OC said.

Craig shook his head. "I know. But I think we should head back."

xxXXXxxxXXXxx

Craig walked straight into Kylah's apartment when he got back to the hotel. She was sitting on her couch, reading a book. Craig walked right to her and kissed her hard.

"Craig?" she asked.

"I love you so much. I don't ever want to be away from you again." Craig said.

"I love you too…but what happened to you?" Kylah asked.

"Janny and older women, Verchota being nosy and we won't even mention going to the bathroom." Craig said.

Kylah looked at him like he was nuts. "What did you and those boys do?"

"It's a long story. But I am so glad to be back with you." Craig said and kissed her again.

"Well did you have a good time?" she asked.

"The boys are great. I kept them out of trouble. And now that I am here….it's all hilarious." Craig said. "Would you believe Janny tried telling me the good points of dating older women?"

"Oh dear." Kylah sighed. "I wanna hear all about it."

Craig sat back and pulled her against him. "Well the boys were drinking……"
