Mini Reunion
Adam's POV
I'm not quite sure what is going to happen. The trial will not be occurring until after the draft which makes absolutely no sense at all. The case won't even be heard until August, which means Julie and I will have to cut our honeymoon short. It's been a month; one would think that they would have come to a permanent solution by now. The draft is this weekend and a few of the ducks stand to be drafted: Guy and Jesse (who decided to for go his last year of college and enter the draft). Anyway, they have asked Julie and me to come and be their guests as they wait for their names to be called. They are sure to be first round picks. That's where we are now, in New York. Currently we are driving to the hotel, where we are supposed to meet them at. I pulled into the parking lot and found a place. I turned off the engine and lightly nudged Julie in the ribs. We had decided to drive down rather then take a plane and she had slept the entire way here.
"Ow. Adam, why did you do that?" She's always a little cranky when she first wakes up.
I smiled. "We're here. Are you ready to go in or would you like some time to wake up first?"
She yawned. "No, I'm alright. Let's go on in. Do you think they are already here?"
"Probably. We're supposed to meet them in the lobby."
She nodded and the opened her door, stepping out into the parking lot. I got the luggage out of the car and we walked slowly into the hotel. We walked through the front door and sure enough, there was Jesse, Guy, and Connie waiting in the lobby. Julie immediately ran over to Connie and they embraced in a big hug. It had been six weeks since we found out Connie was pregnant and I must say, you can certainly tell it. I walked slowly over to them after I sat our things down on the round. "Hey guys, how have you been?"
"Busy." Guy smiled. "When you guys called Connie was already five and a half months pregnant. Now she is nearly seven. We've been trying to get the nursery ready in time."
I looked over at Julie and she was already busy rubbing Connie's stomach with amazement. I can't wait until Julie and I can experience it. Well, at least as long as she doesn't try to break up with me when we run into the possibility. "Congratulations man. You must be really excited."
"Yeah, but also nervous."
"Believe me, I understand." I turned to Jesse. "Hey man. When you emailed me, you didn't tell me you were leaving college early."
"That's because I hadn't decided yet."
"What about you Cake eater? Are you nervous about marrying Julie?" Guy asked, glancing over at Connie and Julie.
"Not at all. After everything we've went through together, it will be a nice change to call her my wife instead of my girlfriend. I mean, do you have any idea how long I have waited for this?"
"Hey Adam, are you going to give me a hug or what?" I turned to see that Connie and Julie were now standing next to me.
"Julie embraced Guy and Jesse in hugs as I hugged Connie. "Only one more month, right Banksie?"
"Oh yeah. The wedding is only a month away. But Julie's parents are flying everyone out a week early. Kind of a little vacation before the wedding." I looked at her growing tummy once more. "Are you sure you are going to be okay to fly?"
"Yeah, I'll be perfectly fine to fly." She answered as she snuggled into Guy's arms.
"So, Connie?" Julie asked from next to me. "Do you know if you are having a boy or a girl?"
"A girl. Guy has always wanted a little girl."
"That's so sweet." I looked at my watch. "Are you guys already checked in?"
"Yeah."
I nodded. "Well, I think Julie and I should get checked in and we will meet you back down here."
"Alright." Guy stated as Julie and I walked up to the counter and checked in, before heading upstairs with our luggage. After quickly putting our bags away, we headed back down to the lobby. The five of us piled into Guy's mini van and headed off to dinner.
"So Julie," Jesse started. "Any idea about what is going to happen with the Bruins?"
"I have no idea. The hearing isn't even until August." Julie answered.
"So then what are they doing with the draft?" Guy asked.
"I have no idea." Julie stated, and then looked to me. "Adam?"
"I don't know either. I guess they will draft someone else, or take a chance and draft you in hopes that they can get the rule reversed."
"If they draft me they are stupid. I mean, what are the real chances that this rule is going to be reversed?"
"In today's world," Connie started, "better then you think."
"I guess." Julie said then decided to change the subject back to Connie and Guy's baby. "Have you guys thought of any names for the little one?"
"Well, Guy likes Rebecca Lynn while I like Kelly Marie." Connie answered. "We may go with some sort of combination, but we're not really sure yet. We still have a little while to decide."
"That time will be gone before you guys know it." I told them as I took a bite of my spaghetti.
"Yeah, it seams like only yesterday when Connie found out she was pregnant and now we will be parents in two short months." Guy stated. "What do you guys think about the names?"
"I like Kelly." Connie stated.
"I like Rebecca." I stated.
"Jesse?" Guy looked at him. "I guess you are the tie breaker."
Jesse smiled as his thoughts wondered off into space. "I used to date a Rebecca. That girl was generous."
"Alright then, Kelly it is." Guy announced as Jesse came back to reality.
"What was the question again?" Jesse asked.
We shook our heads and laughed before Connie turned to him. "Just never mind Jesse." The rest of the dinner went off without incident. It consisted mainly of old stories that happened during the days of the ducks. I knew then that this was going to be an interesting trip.
Should the Bruins draft Julie anyhow? Will she even be on the board when the bruins pick? Please push the little blue button and give me your opinion.
