Disclaimer: I do not own the Ducks. Raycroft, Samsonov, and Kotalik are all NHL players. Ashley Shouse is another friend of mine that I played b-ball with.

A/N: I'm getting a little lost for ideas on what should be happening during Connie's pregnancy. I'm gonna try to wrap it up over the next three or four chapters. I have an idea for the birth, the only problem I'm having is actually getting there. Also I have an idea for a sequel and what I was wondering was, should I rewrite the what was deleted first or start the sequel first?

A Day at the Game

Julie's POV

Connie and I walked into the packed arena and found our usual seats just behind the Bruins' bench. Connie had had her doctor's appointment earlier that day. I had gone with her while Adam and Guy had to be down here at the arena for a game day walk through. The doctor had said basically the same things she had been saying at every other doctors appointment so far.

The Bruins were playing against the division rival Buffalo Sabres. Neither team was on the ice yet and Connie and I saw this as the perfect opportunity to try to make friends with some of the fans. I turned to the woman sitting next to me on the left. "Do you make it to many games?" I asked politely.

The brown haired woman turned to look at me. She squinted her eyes then smiled. "Your Julie Gaffney aren't you?" she asked.

"Yes," I answered slowly, a little unsure of where this was going to go.

"My name is Ashley Shouse and I am your biggest fan." she told me and I smiled back at her. "I swear, I cried when you retired from the game." I was a little wierded out by the woman's confession. "Is there any chance that you will make a comeback?"

"It is very doubtful." I told her and then turned to Connie. "Please trade me seats." Connie smiled and we immediately switched seats. The woman gave me an apologetic look.

Connie leaned closer to the woman. "I need to sit closer to the isle. You know how pregnancies can be."

"Of course," the woman said looking onto the ice and seemingly forgetting about me.

I turned to Connie. "Thanks," I said as the teams made their way onto the ice.

The game started a few minutes later. Adam skated over to the center circle where he would be taking the first face off. He stood in the circle and waited for the puck to drop. Ales Kotalik did the same for the Sabres. As soon as the puck dropped Adam went after it, but was pushed to the ground by Kotalik. The Sabres headed, full speed towards the goal using quick passes to get a wide open shot at the goal. Glove save. I watched as Andrew Raycroft slid the puck out of his glove and over to Guy. I watched as Guy headed in the other direction with the puck. Once he passed over center ice, he passed the puck off to Adam. Adam crossed the blue line and saw Sergei Samsonov cutting down the center and was able to get him the puck in the right position. Score. Guy and Adam hugged each other in celebration. Somewhere I could picture Coach Orion looking at them on TV and screaming, "Knock that off. Act like you've scored before." I smiled to myself at the thought. Those were the days.

The period went scoreless for the next ten minutes. The Sabres had won the next face off and Guy was soon there after called for slashing and given two minutes in the penalty box. The Sabres won the next face off and came charging down the ice. Their speed was too much for the Bruins and they tied the score at one with an easy goal. The period ended with the score tied at one.

The second period turned out to be troublesome for the Bruins as the only goal scored was off of a two on one break by the Sabres. The third period started pretty much the same as the second. The Sabres scored off of the face off and we were suddenly down by two goals. We made it back on the scoreboard with ten minutes left to go in the game. Adam was able to maneuver his way through the defense before scoring just over the goalie's glove.

However, with fifteen seconds we were still down by a goal. Raycroft was pulled so that we could have an extra skater on the ice. Guy was brought back in as the extra skater. Adam headed quickly down ice and found Guy wide open . Guy wound back and fired the slap shot that Fulton had taught him. The puck sailed through the air and ripped the back of the net as the horn sounded. The entire Bruins team surrounded their hero as the refs checked to make sure the shot had gotten off on time. It had.

The overtime period was a defensive struggle as both teams were playing hard. The Sabres had the puck heading down the ice when Kotalik tripped Raycroft in front of the net, allowing the Sabres an easy score. I watched as they celebrated what they though was a victory. Suddenly I heard the whistle blow and Kotalik was called for the trip, putting the Bruins on a power play. We had the advantage and Adam headed up ice and triple deked before starting to shoot the puck, when he was clipped from behind. The ref immediately called for the penalty shot. Adam skated off to center ice and waited for the ref's signal. It was given and Adam grabbed the puck on his stick and started up ice. He neared the goal and once again triple deked before shooting the puck. BRUINS WINNN!

Connie and I both jumped to our feet to cheer. "Oww!" I heard Connie shout next to me. I looked to see that she was now sitting down and her face was in shock.

I immediately panicked. "Is the baby okay?" I asked.

She grabbed my hand. "No." she brought my hand up to her stomach and I felt the movement. "The little guy just kicked me."
