Thoughts and Breaking News
Adam's POV
Wow! That just gets better every time. Julie and I should "celebrate" more often. I looked down at her sleeping form, lying on my chest. God, she is beautiful. Why did I wait so long to ask her to marry me? I should have known she would say yes. She has certainly proved time and time again how much she loves me. I wonder what type of wedding she wants. I think she said something about wanting a fairy tale wedding, but I'm not exactly sure. That conversation had taken place several years before, when we were doing a "life skills" project together. We weren't even officially dating yet. Hell, I thought she had the hots for Portman back then. I guess I was wrong about that. Hmm. I wonder what the ducks are up to now, other then graduating college. Julie and I will certainly have to get in contact with them. What would our wedding be like without the Ducks? Hmm. Probably normal. But who wants normal anyway? Charlie has to be my best man and I know that Julie would want Connie to be her maid of honor. I wonder how long this is going to take to plan; I would like to do this in the off season so Julie and I can go on a long Honeymoon in Europe. I closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to overtake my body, but it just wouldn't happen. Exasperated, I opened my eyes and flipped the TV on ESPN. Looking at the screen, I noticed the words, "breaking news" in capital letters at the bottom of the screen. As I paid closer attention, I realized that the breaking news was in the Boston Bruins organization.
Julie's POV
I lie awake with my head placed on Adam's chest. I'm sure he thinks I'm already asleep. I can't wait until the day that we say I do. I sure hope this isn't going to be one of those long term engagements. I don't know if I would be able to get through one of those. Since I'm graduating college, I want to be able to start working having a family and getting into my career. I want one of those huge weddings, like what the stars have, maybe in Paris or something. My father had once told me that when I got ready to get married, he would throw me the wedding of my dreams, no matter the cost. I am defiantly going to hold him to it. I knew being rich would pay off for me sometime. And of course I want all of the ducks to be there, coaches included. I wonder if we will even be able to get in touch with everyone. I haven't spoken to most of the ducks in three years and I wouldn't have any idea where to start looking for them at. I heard Adam sigh above me, and then I heard the click of the television being turned on. I looked at the screen to see that Adam's team was in the center of some sort of breaking news. Feeling curious, I listened to exactly what was happening.
"Chris Berman here with breaking news out of the NHL. The Boston Bruins have filed for a hearing with the NHL, challenging their rule that keeps women out of the NHL. This conflict derives from the emergence of talent in the women's college ranks. At this moment the identity of the woman the Bruins wish to draft is unavailable, but you can guarantee that this breaking news will spark debate amongst players and owners alike. There will be more on this story tonight on Sportscenter. We will now return you to the NBA action between the Detroit Pistons and the Boston Celtics."
I just laid there stunned. The Bruins want to draft a woman She must really be good, like exceptionally good. I wonder who it is. I bet it's Connie, ever since entering college she has excelled and became one of the greatest scorers in the women's game. But then again, it doesn't really matter. The NHL is never going to change it's rules to allow women to be allowed to play in their league. They are afraid that women would get hurt. At least the Bruins are trying though.
Adam's POV
Oh My God. This is big. I wonder why I didn't hear about this before. They usually tell us about the players they are wishing to draft and asking our opinions about their choices. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Are they thinking about…Julie? I'll bet they are. Maybe that would explain why everyone suddenly becomes quiet when I enter the room. They think I would tell Julie and get her hopes up for something that may never happen. That's definitely it. What else could it be? Who else could it be? Connie, maybe, no, it has to be Julie. I mean Julie played for the men's team at Boston College and their have certainly been plenty of scouts there at her games. If this comes through, Julie and I would never have to be apart again. Please, God, let this happen.
Please push the little blue review button and let me know what you think. Should Julie and Adam have a Paris wedding with all of the Ducks there? Should the NHL change
