Love Conquers All (Part 2)

~~~~ Taylor’s POV ~~~~

Okay listen, I’m not sure if I’m really pregnant, but I have a strong feeling that I am. I haven’t gotten my period for a whole month, but sometimes it could be a false pregnancy. And that is what I’m really hoping for. I can’t be a mother yet! I can barely handle the frigging team when they’re over my house. I mean honestly, come on.

The guys right now were just staring at me with a weird look and I just smiled nervously. I didn’t want to draw attention to myself anymore so I turned around and just casually walked into the kitchen, opening up the fridge and getting a bottle water. Leaning against the counter I sighed heavily, but jumped instantly when I heard someone walk into the kitchen and say my name.

“Taylor?” Drew asked curiously while standing in front of me.

“Yes Drew?” I rolled my eyes and sighed.

“What’s wrong with you?” Drew crossed his arms curiously.

I knew what that meant, he wanted the truth and he wanted it now. There was no way I’m getting through with a lie right now.

“I’m pregnant…” I whispered.

I was looking down because I felt a bit ashamed due to the fact that I told everyone, even my own dad, that I would never have kids. Babysitting is something I would only do for friends and family. But having one of my own? Yeah I can’t do that, that’s a shit ton of pressure.

“Really?! Oh my god that’s great Taylor! Does Dustin know?” Drew smiled from ear to ear and hugged me.

“No, I’m scared of what he’ll say… you know some guys, when they hear ‘I’m pregnant’ they’re on the next trip to China.” I rolled my eyes, but Drew just laughed at me. “That’s not funny! Stop laughing!”

“I’m sorry! You’re just freaking out over nothing. Dustin always wanted to have kids. When y’all married at the courthouse, the next day at the home game against the Hurricanes, he automatically started talking about having kids. Simmers thought he was crazy.” Drew said.

“Okay, I’ll tell him later. You can stay, but Quick, Carter and Richards have to leave. I don’t want them here when I say it. Or wait… I might just do it when we go to Chicago!” I gasped, slapping his chest.

“OUCH! Taylor, what the fuck?!” He seethed, rubbing his chest intensively.

“Oh oops, hehe, sorry.” I grinned, sipping some more of my water.

~~~~ My POV; Next day ~~~~

“Have you ever wanted to give head to a hobo?” Ashley blurted out while we were finishing up our breakfast.

“Who the fuck starts off a conversation like that?!” Corey exclaimed, stopping while he was eating his bacon.

“I’m curious!” Ashley shrugged her shoulders.

It’s almost 10 in the morning and I decided that since it was almost 3 in the morning when we had finished our movie night and basically all of our cookies, I thought it was a good idea for the girls to just spend the night. We had 3 extra rooms and it worked out perfectly fine. It was myself, Corey, Ashley, Sarah and Kat all in the kitchen at the counter, eating the lovely breakfast that I had provided for.

“Ashley sometimes I wonder how Toews deal with you.” Kat looked at Ashley while she drank some of her apple juice.

Just as Ashley was going to respond, there was a little squeak by the top of the steps. We all turned our attentions to find a sleepy Christina with her teddy bear that Kat had given her for Christmas two years ago. It shocks me that she still has it, I thought Chrissy would have grown out of that already, but I guess it was too early for that.

“Morning princess!” We all said at the same time, causing the three year old to smile tiredly.

“Mommy, breakfast?” Christina asked while carefully taking her time coming down the steps.

“Ah-ah, Christina Sarah, what did we practice yesterday?” Corey looked at her before giving her, her plate.

“Maman, le petit-déjeuner?” Christina struggled to say for a good thirty seconds.

“Good!” Corey gasped, giving her, her food.

“Jesus,” Sarah whispered softly.

“My goodness, what!?” Kat’s eyes widen.

“I speak German, aye.” Ashley pumped her fist in the air. Which made us all laugh.

The fact that our daughter is starting to understand French and speak French at least a little bit is starting to make me realize that she’s going to be a smart child when she starts school. No boys, that’s all I have to say. No dating till college! While we were having a conversation, my text message tone for Jenny went off. I forgot that I had texted her late last night. I unlocked my phone to read the message and I smiled;

‘Yeah! I’ll be up for that! This is great because you missed the opportunity to be at WrestleMania four years ago. But hell yeah, I’ll call him for the both of us and tell him that we’ll be there next week! I’ll ask about Kat too just in case. Maybe we’ll be able to do Axxess also. I’ll ask, thanks for telling me can’t wait till the three musketeers to reunite!’

That made my day because of how much I missed everyone. Who knows, maybe I’ll be able to kick the Bella’s asses.

“Hey guys, do you guys want to go to RAW and WrestleMania, all-expense paid for?” I asked curiously, making everyone stop the group conversation and turn to me.

“Yes!” They all shouted, causing me to freeze for a second.

“Oh shit,” Corey looked at me, snapping his fingers in my face.

Honestly, I thought I was over this, but I guess not. I hated the fact that I still have this. It’s really annoying and I hate it.

“Jam?” Sarah poked me.

“Oh dear god, I’m terrified to even go out with this assclown if she keeps doing this.” Kat muttered, which caused me to look at her, after basically two minutes of staring.

“Bubbles, no profanity in front of my child please.” I grinned evilly.

“How else is she going to learn?” Kat shrugged her shoulders, forcing me to throw something at her.

After breakfast we all relaxed for a few hours till the girls left to go home. I will be honest, having a sleepover with them was probably the best idea I’ve ever had. We were able to catch up with each other’s lives till they all departed out. I walked over to Corey, who was now sitting on the couch, and sat down next to him. I had already checked on Christina who is currently napping in her room right now.

“Corey,” I smiled.

“Yes, Jamila?” Corey asked, wrapping one arm around my shoulder.

“Can you cook tonight? I’m a bit tired. And lazy.” I grinned happily.

“What would you like for dinner?” He proposed.

Wow that was easier than I thought.

“Oh um, okay wait, I didn’t know that I was going to make it this far. Uh, okay, can we have Christina’s favorite; lasagna?” I grinned, poking his stomach gently.

“Why yes of course,” He said getting up but hover over me for a second, “But you’re still not going to New York.” Corey smirked, pecking my lips gently.

“Asshole!” I glared, punching him in the arm, kicking my feet so he’ll move away from me.

He’ll come around, I have a feel that he will, so it’s okay. For now at least.

~~~~ Next morning; Blackhawks Morning Skate ~~~~

All of the girls; Sarah, Ashley, Kat, Amy, Christina and myself were all sitting in the locker room after the guys had left the room to go and practice. Christina was running around, touching random things, shockingly the guys didn’t care if she was all over the place, but she just couldn’t damage anything. All of us were having a conversation about the day we had with Taylor yesterday and how she was acting…. A bit out of the ordinary.

“Yeah, I mean, she was drinking water rather than her signature Frappe from Starbucks.” Ashley exclaimed.

“She had to pee a lot too. I think she is a waterholic.” Sarah thought.

We all just looked at her with a raised eyebrow and shook our heads afterwards “What?! It could happen!”

“Sarah, it’s obviously that our little hood blondie is pregnant.” Kat shrugged her shoulders, stating the obvious.

“Taylor isn’t pregnant. Maybe she was having terrible cramps.” Amy pitched in.

“She can’t be pregnant, she hates kids. Well except Christina and Trevor.” I told them.

I looked over at Christina when she called me, asking for the water that was in the cooler. As I got up, I looked over at Kat and tilted my head “So my daughter wants water, does that make her pregnant now?” I asked curiously.

“Jammy, every person has a little freak in them.” Kat laughed. Which caused all of us including myself to laugh hysterically.

Continuing our conversation, the boys had come back inside moments later, everyone seemed annoyed from some reason. So I looked over at Shaw who was bitching, as usual, and over at Sharpie.

“Hey, what’s going on?” I asked Sharp, which caused him to turn around.

“Taylor came into our practice and started trouble. Saying how the kings beat us to move onto the finals, we are terrible and so on and so forth. Then she apologized and told everyone to go eat ass.” Sharpie explained.

“She’s a cu-“Andrew was about to shout but I stopped him.

“There is a three year old in the room!” I stomped my feet, looking at him with evil eyes.

“I’m sorry, she just pisses me off.” Andrew rolled his eyes, while Amy tried to calm him down.

“It happens all the time when it’s a Kings game. You have to get over it sooner or later.” Sarah told him, walking over to sit next to Kris.

“Yeah she called me boner boy for a good 3 years.” Kane said.

“That was me you idiot.” I rolled my eyes.

Moments after that unexpected, yet weird conversation with the guys, Corey had come into the room, I knew because Christina ran passed me screaming ‘daddy!’ When he stopped to hug and pick her up, half of his gear already off, Corey had given her his goalie stick because she would like to play around with it just to keep her occupied. I walked over to his stall and sat down in front of him with a smile on my face.

“I heard an evil troll came into your practice.” I chuckled softly.

“Yeah and she’s currently sitting in my stall.” He grinned, causing me to gasp.

“That was rude!” I pouted deeply.

“Babe, promise me we won’t be that mean to each other.” Ashley whispered to Toews, watching him as he wiped his face.

“Oh I can’t make any promises Ash. But just wait and see as time goes on.” He smirked.

Oh the love that was in the air right now was so cute.

~~~~ Hours later; 2^nd Intermission ~~~~

When the guys returned into the locker room, Christina was already hyper. I don’t know what exactly made her this way, but sadly enough, she is currently hyper. I looked up when I saw Corey heading my way, a smile on my face when kissed my forehead.

“Hey, I rushed back in here from the box seats because Christina said she wants to see you.” I told him, pointing over Christina who was standing next to Joel.

“Joel, why isn’t daddy playing?” She asked, taking on his hand.

Christina was a bit scared of Joel, mostly because of how she has seen him on television when we would have to watch the games from home and when we would come here. Corey and I myself hope that one day that she’ll be able to grow out of it, but as of right now, we don’t see that happening.

Joel looked down at Christina, smiling briefly at her before he spoke;

“I picked Darling to play tonight sweetie. Your dad will play the next game.” Joel told her, causing her to smile, then walk back to Corey and myself.

“You have to stop bothering him Chrissy. Sometimes, he can be a bit cranky.” I told her softly, causing Hossa to laugh at bit.

Both I and Christina were told that the 3^rd period was going to start soon, so I told her that it was time to go back with the girls. I seriously hope they had gotten food during intermission or I will kick all of their asses. Making our way back to the girls, I smiled when I saw food. Bless the heavens above.

Third intermission was underway and I looked over at Amy who couldn’t stop bouncing on her seat. I rolled my eyes and said “You know your boyfriend is a tool right?”

“Jammy, stop it!” Amy glared playfully at me, throwing at French fry and my location.

“I mean, I’m not gonna sugarc-” I was stopped when I heard the door behind us open just as the Hawks score a goal “Taylor! Just in time! We’re kicking the Kings ass!”

“Can I talk to you guys for a second…?”

Is she serious? Oh my god, I think she’s scared of something. I was able to get everyone’s attention to turn to Taylor, but Christina was still watching the game, at least she’s beginning to actually sit and watch without running around.

“What’s up Taylor?” Ashley asked curiously while eating her nachos. I actually took some because I was still hungry, but Ashley swatted my hand away. Bitch.

“Guys… I’m pregnant.” Taylor looked at all of us with a sad yet happy smile, just as the buzzer went off, signaling that the game was over.

“Are you serious?!” We all gasped, more happy than shocked.

“I KNEW IT!!!! IN YOUR FACE BITCHES!” Kat shouted, jumping up and down with excitement.

“We’ll leave you guys alone. Come on Chrissy, let’s go see daddy!” Amy smiled, quickly getting out of the room and shut the door behind her.

We were silent for a good 2 minutes because everyone was really shocked. We never knew that Taylor had it in her to have kids, well mostly to get pregnant. I was about to say something, but I closed my mouth because like I said, I was shocked. So Sarah was the first one to speak up.

“Okay one, congratulations, and two, does Dustin know?” Sarah asked, walking over to Taylor and putting her arm around Taylor’s shoulder.

“Thanks, but no. Dustin doesn’t know. I was going to just announce it in the locker room, but I wanted to tell you guys first. Family comes first right?” Taylor smiled.

This is the first time ever that Taylor had shown her own real side, her real emotions and it surprised me because this side never comes out unless it’s a difficult time. And I guess having a bun in the over is a bad situation. This poor thing. We gave her a group hug, telling her that if she wants us there, then we’ll walk with her to the Kings locker room. But she sounded a bit confident enough to tell us that she’ll be okay.

“Good luck Blondie!” I told her, giving her a tight hug and walked out of the room with the other girls.

As we made our way to the Blackhawks locker room, I knocked on the door before entering asking if everyone was decent. When Joel said that it was safe to go in, all four of us went inside and clapped. Congratulating the guys on their win. The girls made their way over to their men and I sat down on the floor next to Corey who was sitting in his stall still.

“Why are you on the floor?” He asked me.

“Because I like the floor.” I laughed, smiling when Christina saw me.

“Alright boys listen up! One more quick this, Vancouver will be here in a few days. So be prepared, that’s all I have to say. Drive safe everyone!” Joel announced and left the room.

That caused Christina to squeal, only because she knows that Kevin plays on that team and jumped and cheered aimlessly.

“Uncle Kevin is coming!” Christina cheered.

“Uncle?!” Everyone, except the girls, exclaimed.

“Yeah, Uncle. Shut up and get over it.” I glared at everyone.

~~~~ Taylor’s POV ~~~~

I was sitting at the extra stall that was next to Dustin, bouncing my leg nervously, I got up from the stall and stood in front of everyone, swallowing the lump in my throat, I looked at Dustin and then over at Drew who nodded his head telling me that it was okay to go.

“Hey uh, guys… I have an announcement.” I sad softly, looking at everyone then at Dustin, “Okay first, I just want to apologize for being rude for the last couple of days, especially to you, Carter and Richards. It was honestly not my intention,” I took a deep breath and turned to Dustin one more time.

“Taylor? Everything alright?” Dustin asked very concerned.

“Guys, I’m pregnant.” I said, wiping my tears that I never knew that was falling from my eyes down to my cheek.

“Yeah!”

“Congratulations!”

“Baby Brownies!”

Were the reactions I heard from all over the locker room. I thanked all of them and noticed that Dustin was standing in front of me. I smiled nervously and fixed his suit and his tie.

“You’re not mad at me are you?” I looked at him, a bit scared, yet nervous.

“Of course not! Oh my goodness, this news just made my night ten times better. I love you Taylor.” Dustin smiled wide.

“I love you too Dustin.” I laughed softly, pecking his lips softly and hugged him somewhat tightly.

~~~~ My POV; Midnight ~~~~

I was told that Dustin had taken the news better than she had expected. I don’t know why Taylor went crazy, Dustin is obviously a family man, and I mean come on. But anyway, Corey and I were lying in bed, watching the last episode of ‘Ghost Adventures´ on Netflix, he was going in and out of consciousness and I shook my head.

“If you want to sleep, then go to sleep you turd.” I rolled my eyes.

“Okay thank god. I’m fucking exhausted. I have to get my strength because ‘Uncle Kevin!’ and his Canucks will be here soon and I will have no patience if Darling starts again.” Corey muttered, causing me to frown.

He’s been grumpy lately and I know that asking questions would just piss him off more. So I just turned the T.V. off and the lights as well and went to bed. God only knows what’s in store for us and I seriously just can’t wait!

The end

Love Conquers All

Last time on "Once Upon a Time....."

It took several attempts to get it right, but Christina was soon successfully fed, and was now fast asleep again.

I smiled as my mom walked through the door, closely followed by Corey's parents. They gasped loudly when they saw Christina and then grinned at us.

"Do you have a name for her?" Corey's mom asked us.

Corey's eyes met mine briefly and I smiled as he looked back at his mom. "Christina Sarah."

"That's so beautiful." Sarah said, and I could see her getting teary eyed. Her name was Sarah after all. "Thank you."

I passed Christina over to Sarah who held her and then passed her to Corey's mom and then Corey's dad.

It wasn't long until the door was opening again and Bieksa, Taylor, Amy, Ashley and Emery wanted to come in.

"We'll be back in to see you soon Jammy." My mom said, smiling and handing Christina to Corey. I smiled and nodded, watching in awe as Corey held her. It was obvious how much he loved her already.

Much like our parents had, Amy gasped as Corey handed Christina to her. "Oh Corey!" She said happily. "She's so beautiful!"

Corey smiled. "She's called Christina Sarah."

“After me!” Sarah exclaimed.

“Yes, and you’re the auntie.” I smiled, laughing shortly afterwards.

"I love it." Ashley said, peering over Amy's shoulder.

"You can hold her if you want Kevin." Corey said.

"I...might drop her. I think it's better to just look..."

"What? No, you can hold her." I said smiling. I watched as Amy passed the pink bundle to Bieksa and he held her like the most fragile thing in the world.

As Christina was once again passed around the visitors, Corey turned to me, and just sighed contently as he looked at me.

I smiled. "What?"

A small smile appeared on his face as he took hold of my hand. He looked down at our hands. "You have no idea how scared I was."

"I know Corey. But I'm okay."

He looked back up at me with pained eyes. "But you almost weren't. I almost lost you and I don't know what I would have done."

I smiled slightly. "You would have been great Corey. You would've been fine."

He shook his head. "I couldn't do this without you. I couldn't do...anything without you."

I smiled and broke away from his hand, lifting my fingertips to stroke along his face and rest on his jaw.

"I'm here. Alright? I'm fine."

Corey smiled and we broke away when Christina was handed back to me.

Our parents soon entered the room again, and gathered around us. But it might as well have just been me Corey and Christina.

We were a proper little family now, and my life was going to be devoted to her from now on. She depended on me. On us. There was no room for screwing up now.

I looked up and our family's faces and they laughed and joked with each other. Our entire family was with us, supporting us.

******************

It’s been three years since I’ve given birth to my sweet angle, Christina Sarah Crawford. I have had a lot of time being a mother, and must I say wife as well? Yeah, Corey proposed two years ago on my birthday, and we got married 8 months later, in Paris. How crazy that I get married in the dream place I’ve been talking about getting married in since I was 22 years old? Now that I’m officially 28, a mother and a wife, I must say, that my life is just 100% perfect. It’s all I’ve ever dreamt it could be.

I must mention that Kevin, yes Kevin, is still in my life as well. Christina loves her god uncle so much its adorable. Corey was completely okay with Kevin and his brothers to come visit Christina whenever they felt like it, but calling first I must point out. If you were wondering, I still have my best friends with me. Ashley, Taylor, Kat and Sarah are still in my life. Kat and Kane are doing perfectly fine, just when he comes over my house with Kat, I get very salty because he ends up messing up everything that I had perfectly set. Sometimes I just want to kill him. Sarah still couldn’t get over the fact that her first name is my first born' middle name. She will never ever live that down. Sarah and Kris are doing great, since he was traded back to the Hawks, we’ve all been a happy family.

Sarah, Kris, Corey and myself would always go on double dates when we get the time to do so. Sarah is officially a police officer in Illinois and officially my bodyguard, haha just kidding. But she’s a wonderful cop. I’m so happy for her and all of the accomplishments she has made through all of this. Ashley, well, she is now dating Jonathan Toews. But they never want to hang out or anything which sucks. But those crazy lovebirds are always together when they get the chance and it’s adorable! Now on to Taylor… good ol’ Taylor Brown. Yup, Mr. and Mrs. Dustin Brown. They tied the knot, again, after the Kings won their first Stanley Cup. The ceremony was cute. They actually let the both of them use the Cup for the wedding. It was cute. I mean, they actually never had a wedding in the first place, so I guess they were waiting on the perfect opportunity to actually have a big wedding.

Now on to reality. We are all currently living in Chicago, minus Taylor and Dustin who both live in Los Angeles, but visits frequently. Amy, Corey’s cousin still lives with us because now she is such a helpful youngie while helping with Christina. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, she’s dating Shaw. How wonderful. But anyhow, we now live in a dream house basically. Outside pool, big backyard, a huge gate that surrounds our house because of the past burglaries that we’ve had a couple of months ago, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a really big living room, a big kitchen, finished basement that’s basically a man cave/playroom and so on and so forth.

I was beginning to cook dinner because it was close to 8 o’clock and Corey was going to be coming home soon after his game in a couple of hours, which we’re currently watching on the big screen. Amy, Christina and myself weren’t able to make it to the game because of Christina’s flu. I was making spaghetti with meatballs because some of the players are going to be coming back here to eat. I swear, Corey always tells people that I’m going to be cooking because when he calls me during intermission, he tells me that certain people are coming over so make extras. Really? That man, I swear.

“Hey, Jammy. I think Chrissy is ready for bed.” Amy told me while I stirred the pot of tomato sauce.

“If she’s tired, then go put her to sleep. If you put her down, she’ll fall asleep. ” I shook my head when I turned to Amy, holding up the spoon near her mouth so she can taste the sauce.

“Holy crap, that’s really good!”

“Thanks, family recipe!” I winked playfully, putting the cover over the pot and wiped my hands. “Okay so, there’s going to be twelve people, but I don’t have many cups… so I sadly have to use my good wine glasses.” I glared.

I hated using my good glasses when the team comes over. I’ve always been short on glasses and its quiet depressing if you ask me. I never understood why. While I was looking for some of my wine glasses, Christina began to cry in her swing. I huffed, and looked over at Amy, basically begging for her to look for my other glasses while I go cater to my daughter’s needs.

“Hey princess! Oh you’re getting so big. That’s it, no more father daughter time for you two.” I chuckled, while I picked up her sippy cup and gave her some of her water. “Daddy will be home soon! They just beat the Islanders, so he’s going to be in a good mood. Thank god.” I smiled, kissing her forehead gently, and placed Christina in her play area.

As I was walking back into the kitchen, the door was suddenly starting to jingle. I looked at our security cams just to see that it was a shitload of people outside of the door. All men in suits and sweaty heads. I noticed Crawford instantly when he opened up the door and waved at the camera. I swear, he does this all the time and it’s the cutest thing. Sometimes he thinks Christina is looking, but other times, it’s just me. I mean honestly.

“Jamila, Amy! I’m home! The guys are here!” Corey called out, telling the other guys to make sure they took their shoes off. Good, I hate the tracked messes people would make.

“We’re in the kitchen!” Amy responded while I began to cook the meatballs.

I wasn’t even paying attention when Corey came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, a small squeak left my lips as he did that. I turned around to look at the taller man who now has bushy hair and a beard.

“Crawford, I swear to god! I am cooking, I could have easily tipped the frying pan over!” I pouted, hitting him playfully on the chest and then punched his arm.

“I’m so very sorry Jamila. Where’s the little one?”

“She’s in her playpen. But before she’s really cranky right now for some odd reason. Just don’t go tossing her around. I fed her an hour ago and I don’t want her throwing up all over the place.” I told Corey as I began to drain the spaghetti.

“Yes, yes, I know. You just get back to cooking, you grumpy butt.” Corey grinned while he and the rest of the guys began to play with Christina.

I just rolled my eyes and didn’t even bother to respond back to him. Taking my time to not burn the food, I tried my best to finish up the meat but then the doorbell to the front door began to ring. I looked over at the guys then over at Amy to figure out if we were missing anyone, but she just shook her head not knowing who was missing.

“Can you get the door?” I asked nicely.

Nodding her head, Amy went to the front door and looked through the security cam and opened the door quickly. I didn’t know what was going on, but all I heard was screaming and cheering. I was too occupied to even realize that someone was calling my name while running into the kitchen. I looked up just in time to see that Sarah coming into the kitchen, WITH HER SHOES ON, and began hugging me. I remember when I never liked her and now she’s like a sister to me.

“JAMMY! Hey!” Sarah squealed while hugging me.

“Do you have your shoes on in this house?” I asked more puzzled than ever.

“But its flip flops! Jamila, just shut up and hug me dammit.” She laughed while she slipped her shoes off.

I gave Sarah a hug, thanking her for taking her flip flops off and looked over at Bella when she began barking. Kris made his way over to Sarah, giving her the biggest hug anyone has even seen when we’re around them and we all just awed in place. They are so adorable together it makes me happy that they are finally together.

“Kat didn’t come with you?” I asked curiously when I noticed Kane in the back with the guys.

“She texted, me saying that she apologizes that she couldn’t make it, but she will be free sometime next week.” Sarah smiled as she sat on top of the counter.

I just looked at her, then at the counter; just turning my body while I shook my head.

I swear, I’m going to kill her one day.

~~~~ After Dinner ~~~~

Corey and I had finally put Christina back to sleep when everyone left just about an hour ago. Amy decided to have Shaw over for the night, which by the way I don’t mind, but I told them no sex in my house. They better follow those rules, I’m not even joking.

Corey and I were just relaxing in bed, my arms wrapped around his waist while he watched some movie that I really didn’t care about. I looked up at Corey and over at the T.V. pouting when he wasn’t paying attention to me.

“What’s the matter?” Corey sighed, probably knowing that I was staring at him.

“Nothing. Why? Do you think something is wrong?” I asked nonchalantly.

“You keep staring at me like I’ve done something wrong.” He said, pausing the movie and turning his attention to me.

“Nothing is wrong, I was just acknowledging this amazing view I have till you leave again,” I pouted, poking his stomach as I placed my head on his lap. “You should really sha-“

“I’m not shaving or cutting anything, don’t ask me again.” He kissed my nose, with a sly smirk on his face.

“Fuck man,” I rolled my eyes, “I can never do nothing!” I chuckled softly, turning off my side of the life and deciding that it was best to just go to sleep.

I was most likely not going to win the argument.

~~~~ The next morning; 6:48 am ~~~~

Corey was already up and ready to take Christina to the gym in the basement that is located in the basement. I was happy that Corey thought about having a gym downstairs, because I wouldn’t have worked off the baby weight with paying $14.99 or more at L.A fitness. I couldn’t do it. Not even for a simple kickboxing lesson.

Just as I getting ready to go back to sleep, I heard the doorbell rapidly ringing. I groaned loudly, looking at the security surveillance on the side of the wall, I noticed quickly that it was Taylor. I rolled my eyes enough to make it seem like I was the Undertaker or something. Getting out of the bed, I walked downstairs, through the kitchen and to the front door. I waited another second and just opened the door.

“Taylor Elizabeth, how may I help you?” I smiled tiredly, looking at her.

“I just wanted to come see the little one. I have a feeling that I would be too occupied while I’m in this weird city, for the next couple of days.” She grinned, taking her shoes off before she walked into the house.

I really love when people respect the no shoes rule.

“It’s almost 7 in the morning. Corey and Christina are in the gym.” I pointed out to Taylor while I made my way to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea.

“And you’re not with them? That sounds like a loveable family bonding moment.” Taylor thought while she sat down on the stool to the island.

I just looked at Taylor and shook my head, telling her that I wasn’t in the mood for exercising at such an ungodly hour of the day. After the kettle began to whistle, I took it off of the stove, poured the water into the mug and placed the teabag inside the mug, then sat in front of Taylor as I sipped my mint tea. Oh how I love tea.

We both talked about how our marriages been going and I just shook my head at the fact that Taylor went on and on about the sock that Dustin left in the living room of their LA home.

“Taylor, don’t you think freaking out about a sock is just too much?” I asked curiously.

“No. Not all. You freak out when people walk into the house with their shoes on.”

“That’s because I hate shoe tracks.”

“Then you might as well chop everyone’s feet off because you hate shoe tracks,” Taylor rolled her eyes a bit annoyed, but decided to change the subject. “Okay listen, I think we all should go out and do something. You, me, Ashley, Kat and Sarah. All of us go out and have a girl’s day.” Taylor suggested.

“I have to bring Christina with me. Unless Amy can babysit.” I thought, just thinking about the idea makes me cringe.

I had to put Amy on house arrest the night after the Hawks won the Stanley Cup due to the fact that she went out and partied all night with Andrew and never once picked up her phone or anything. I and Corey were both worried due to the fact that, Amy never picked up her phone. I mean, yeah she’s 22 years old now. But she’s like a daughter to me, just like Christina, Amy has rules as well until she leaves the house and finds a place of her own.

“Amy! Can you come downstairs please?!” I called out while I sipped my tea and ate a couple of crackers.

“Yeah?” She responded while coming down the steps.

“Can you babysit sometime next week? If you don’t have classes, that’s perfect. Because we’re having a girls day and I need a babysitter.” I asked nicely just as Corey was making his way upstairs with Christina.

They were both sweating and it was gross. I’m pretty sure we have a water fountain of some sort downstairs. I mean honestly.

“Hey precious!” Taylor gasped when she saw the little sweaty 3 year old.

“Tay!” Christina babbled.

“She still can’t say my full first name?” Taylor pouted when she picked up Christina and placed her on her lap.

“She can’t even say Joel. It stresses her out when she can’t say it when she sees him.” Corey laughed joyfully when he drank the juice straight from the carton.

Really dude? Really? You have your own juice, don’t use the family juice.

“Corey, I swear to god.” I clenched my jaw slightly while looking at him.

All Corey did was shrugged his shoulders because he was trying to swollen the rest of the stuff that was in his mouth. But then apologized afterwards, good boy. But the fact that I have OCD and bipolar disorder, everything to anything just starts to annoy the living shit out of me and I hate it.

But after Amy had finished checking her schedule on the calendar, she told me that she was able to babysit whenever because she’ll be starting spring break. Oh I remember when I was in college. Spring break and Winter break were the best kinds of breaks. I would love to thank the person or persons who had came up with that. Bless your hearts.

“Thanks baby doll! Maybe I’ll let you have off house arrest during your spring break.” I smiled, walking over to Corey and looked at him with a smile, “Did you enjoy your workout with Chrissy?” I asked curiously.

“Yes, she tried running the treadmill while I was on it and it freaked me out a little bit. We have to get her something that she’ll enjoy. I don’t think those playful exercising tools will help her anymore.”

“I like to run with daddy.” Christina smiled with her finger in her mouth, her baby voice really coming out a lot.

I sighed softly when I looked over at Christina who was now playing with Taylor’s hair and looked up at Corey. I just shrugged my shoulders, thinking that I’ll think of something else later on when she gets older.

“Hey Jam. Did you tell Corey about next weekend?” Taylor blurted out, out of nowhere.

 I looked at her with the dirtiest look ever, and then Corey looked at me with a confused face. “What’s happening next weekend?” Corey asked curiously.

“I was invited to go to a Rangers game. St. Louis invited Taylor and myself.” I told Corey with a smile, casually wrapping my arms around his “And I’m going, and there’s nothing you can do that can stop me!” I grinned slightly.

“Here’s your answer. No.” Corey stated, placing the towel around his neck and walked away from me.

“You can’t tell me no!” I glared.

“I just did. And I’m not changing my mind. Don’t even try to change it either.”

“How come every time she wants to go somewhere, you say no?” Amy asked curiously while she filed her nails.

“I’ll give you a history; when she went to Vancouver, she dumped Sharp and dated Bieksa. She moved in with Bieksa in Vancouver, cheated on him with me and now she is with me. I am now married to her, we have a daughter, and she is not going anywhere out of state.” Corey shook his head while drinking his water. “It’s just not happening.”

“To make the unnecessary story short; Jammy was with this kid Anthony, dumped him for Sharp, dated Sharp, broke up with Sharp to be with Bieksa, dated Bieksa, broke up with Bieksa to be with Corey. BUT, Corey and Jammy were friends with benefits, and then they dated, but she cheated on Corey with Emery. Emery was obsessed with Jammy, she stayed with Emery for 3 months while she was pregnant, but ended up coming home to find you, Amy mast-” I quickly stopped Taylor before could even finished.

“WHOA ENOUGH!” I looked at her with a furious look. “The fact that the both of youse keep bringing that old stuff up is rather frustrating. The fact that you would say that in front of my daughter is disrespectful. Honestly, I just wanted to see my hometown team play for one game. You’re making it seem like all hell will break loose.” I glared at Corey and just did a face palm. “I’m going and you’re going to have to trust me. I would be an idiot to sabotage our family.”

After I had said my final words, I ushered Christina to come upstairs with me so we’ll be able to take our morning nap. It was a little after 9 in the morning, but I honestly needed a nap.

*** Flashback; No POV ***

Jamila stood in front of the mirror, her stomach began to flutter instantly when her mother came into the room after Jamila had gotten her dress on. Currently in the room were her best friends; Ashley, Taylor, Sarah and Kat. They were all getting themselves together, due to the fact Jamila told the four to keep themselves occupied rather than ask her numerous of questions.

Jamila’s cousin, Jenny was also in the room, but she was the only one that was standing next to Jamila in the mirror along with her mother as well. Tears wanted to escape Jamila’s eyes instantly but her mother stood right in front of the mirror to get her daughter’s attention.

“Sweetheart, no crying. This is your wedding day! Save the crying for when you hear ‘You may now kiss the bride’.” Her mother exclaimed, smiling from ear to ear, trying to get her daughter to relax.

“Just think about it, Cody and I have been married for 5 years now, I didn’t cry on my wedding day, and I don’t want my cousin crying on hers.” Jenny grinned.

Jamila just looked at her cousin, but rolled her eyes in the process, “Jennifer, I would be crying with fear if I was marrying him. I know that for a fact.” Jamila laughed slightly. “Hey Sarah?”

“Yeah twinny?” Sarah asked, looking at Jamila from her make up station.

“Thank you for being my person, through all of these years.” Jamila just said out of the blue. Everyone in the room was confused, excepted Ashley because she knew the reference as to what she met by her statement, but Sarah just grinned in place.

“Thank you for being mine. Now chin up, remember you’re marrying the man of your dreams.” Sarah smiled wide, fixing my hair a little bit.

“Yeah? Which one?” Taylor commented from her station.

Everyone just looked at her with a look that basically saying that that comment was inappropriate at this very moment.

“Taylor, that was so stupid of you to say.” Kat laughed, throwing an eyeliner pen at her.

“I just wanted her to lighten up! It work didn’t it?” Taylor asked, looking over at Jamila with a harmless smile.

Jamila just nodded her head with confident, turning her attention back to the mirror, Jamila took a deep breath and closed her eyes, giving herself a quick prayer so she wouldn’t mess up by saying her vows. When the church bells rang, Jamila’s eyes snapped open immediately, causing Ashley to squeal.

“It’s wedding time!!!!” Ashley jumped, handing all of the girls their followers, and Jamila her bouquet.

“Ready Baby boo?” Taylor asked Jamila while she too, fixed the girl’s hair.

“Ready.”

~~~ My POV; 12:45pm ~~~

I was rudely awoken by Christina playing on her iPad mini and getting frustrated at the fact that she couldn’t tap on the proper color that she wanted. Honestly, I don’t know why Corey spoils this girl. If she was around me more, I would have given her a coloring book. Because you know that’s what I grew up with when I was younger.

“Christina Sarah!” I groaned against the pillow, looking over her when she started to whimper. Here comes the water works.

“Daddy!” She cried out loud, causing her face to run red from frustration.

I knew she was going to do that. When she knows she made me upset, she cries for Corey. I think she knew I was the tougher parent than he is. I take her iPad away from her, Corey finds a way to give it back to her. I ground her from going outside to play in her sandbox, Corey finds a way to let her go outside to play in the sandbox. You catch my drift right? It’s honestly getting on my nerves.

I heard Corey coming up the steps, smiling when he walked into the room to see both myself and Christina sitting up on the bed. He smiled at the both of us and grinned happily as he slid on the bed.

“What’s wrong Chrissy? Did you wake mommy up from her nap?” Corey asked, knowing the answer because I secretly flicked him off.

“Help me!” Christina exclaimed while holding the device in Corey’s face, then looked over at me.

“Give daddy a minute,” Corey told his daughter while taking the iPad from her “I was told to tell you, ‘Corey, tell Jam that we are coming over at 1 today so we can catch up on TV.’.” Corey elaborated.

I looked at him dumbfounded because I didn’t even know who the hell he was talking about till he told me that it was Ashley. Oh dear god.

“I’m just fixing my hair and brushing my teeth again, I’m not going to change my clothes. They’ve seen me in maternal clothes.” I shrugged him off while he helped Christina change the color.

I slowly rose to my feet, stretching out my back while I groaned heavily. Getting exhausted this easily when I wake up from long naps is not what I imagined when I became a mother. Or just when I turned into an adult in general. When I was about to walk into the bathroom to get myself situated, my phone began to ring. I picked up the phone and saw that it was my former boss; Hunter, or well Triple H for short.

“Hello?” I answered the phone

“Afternoon Jamila! I have a favor.”

“Hey, Hunter, what’s up?”

“I was wondering if you and Jenny would be able to come to the final RAW before WrestleMania and then WrestleMania on Sunday? Your whole family is welcome and if you say yes, you’re flight seats and everything will be paid for.” Hunter proposed.

It’s been almost four years since I’ve retired from WWE and it’s been 2 years for Jenny. I’ve been close with the company ever since I had to leave due to my injury; I was only 23, close to 24 when I was basically forced to retire after completely reinjuring my knee.

“I would love too! But let me get back to you with Jenny. I just want to make sure she’s not busy. Can I call you back either later on today or tomorrow?”

“Yes that’s completely fine! I just had this idea to spark the divas division a bit. The ‘Give Divas a Chance’ movement is kicking my ass right now.” Hunter complained.

“I saw that on twitter. At least they could have stepped up like how Kat, Jenny and I did. Ladder matches are what I live for.”

“And I completely agree! Alright, juts get back to me when you get the chance to. Thanks Jamila!”

“You’re welcome Hunter. I’ll talk to you later!” I grinned then turned around after I hanged up the phone.

“What was that all about?” Corey asked while he fixed Christina’s clothing.

“Hunter wants Jenny and me on RAW then at WrestleMania. Everything is paid for if I say yes.” I grinned happily, looking over at the time when it read 12:57.

Corey automatically agreed, knowing that he wants to go, mostly because he actually never seen me physically in person in the ring, just on TV, and I guess he would like for Christina to have her first wrestling live event with her mommy in the ring. That’s completely fine with me. I have no problem with that. She just needs to have headphones for the pyros and stuff.

While I was in the bathroom, the doorbell began to ding numerous of times but I rolled my eyes knowing that if they keep ringing the doorbell, I wasn’t going to answer it. I was happy that we had little televisions all over the place in every other bedroom to show who was prowling from all over our house. It automatically got my attention when I heard Kat yell;

“Bitch open the door!” I rolled my eyes, finishing up brushing my teeth and washing my face.

I walked downstairs, quickly going to the front door, opening it up to find all of my best friends in front of me.

“Were you and Cody boning? Is that why you took forever to unlock the door?” Sarah smirked evilly.

“No. I was brushing my teeth and I got held up on the phone with Hunter. But please come in, all of you savages.” I smiled stepping out of the way to let everyone come inside.

“Call me a savage again, I’ll beat your ass.” Kat glared evilly.

~~~~ 6 Hours later ~~~~

“YOU’RE SO BEAUITFUL! GIVE THE WORLD A SHOW!” Ashley and I sang loudly as we jammed out to the ‘Empire’ soundtrack.

Corey and Amy had left almost 3 hours ago because he had to go shopping for her graduation stuff and I couldn’t let all of us go at the same time. So it was just, myself, Sarah, Ashley, Kat and Christina. We were all now baking some cookies because we got bored after we finally got caught up on all of our shows… and it literally took 6 hours. Such lives we have.

“Mommy can I have cookie?” Christina asked me while she sat on top of the counter and eyed the unbaked cookies.

“We have to bake them first sweetheart, then you can eat one.” I smiled at her then kissed her cheek.

“Jammy, let the poor child have some of the cookie dough!” Kat insisted

“No, I’m not letting her get sick. When she gets older she can.” I grinned, placing all four trays in the oven then shutting it. Turning around to see all of the girls staring at me with a weird look. “What?”

“Why aren’t you letting the poor child live her life?” Sarah looked at me curiously.

“Honestly, if she was my child, I would have let her have some of the cookie dough.” Ashley stated.

“Well she’s not your child! Get over it! She’s not going to have any and that’s final!” I shouted, covering my mouth instantly when I saw Christina jumped, “Chrissy, sweetie I’m sorry.” But it was too late, she had already ran into the living room.

“Jam, we were kidding….” Sarah pouted but I stopped her mid-sentence.

“No it’s my fault. Corey does the same thing with her and I just tend to flip out because there’s so much I can take,” I sighed heavily but shook my head, “She’s get over it sooner or later when her dad gets home anyway. She has French lessons later.”

“French lessons?” Kat asked confused.

“Corey is teaching her French so when we take trips to Quebec over the summer, she’ll know at least some words.”

“I wish my boyfriend can teach me French…”

“Too bad Katrina.” I grinned, walking over to the fridge to get a bottle of orange juice.

“Fuck you Jammy, fuck you.” She seethed quietly.

While the cookies were baking in the oven, we were all sitting in the living room trying to figure out what in the world are we going to watch before the guys get home. As we were browsing throw Netflix movies, I decided that it was the best time to text Jenny and ask her if she was up for the whole RAW and WrestleMania reunion.

‘Hey Jen, Hunter wanted to know if you’ll be okay with coming to RAW on Monday and then Sunday at WrestleMania? I told him that I’ll be up for the opportunity. If you say yes, then all the expenses will be paid for! Just let me know what you want to do!’

I pressed the sent button and placed my phone on the nightstand that was next to the couch. When they were still browsing, I saw that they had a few lifetime movies on there and I gasped.

“Can we watch Lizzie Borden?”

“Jammy, you have a three year old.” Kat looked at me with a dumb look.

“Mommy can we watch Frozen?” Christina spoke up.

I turned and looked at the other girls who just nodded their heads that it was fine. I was hoping and praying that Chrissy wouldn’t be obsessed with the whole ‘Frozen’ concept, but sadly she is. Ashley had gotten up to place the movie in the DVD player, just as the timer to the cookies went off. Which made me flinch by the way... I got up from the couch, along with Sarah as well. I knew damn well she didn’t want to help with the cookies; she wanted to have one to eat. Savage.

Using the oven mittens, I opened the oven and took two trays out while Sarah did the same with the other oven. I’m so happy that my mom suggested that we get double ovens just in case of anything. I sighed heavily while I placed all of the cookies on the cooling rack. Sarah helped as well, smiling in the process. I swear she can never stop smiling. As we continued to place the last of the cookies onto the cooling rack, Christina had come over to the kitchen and asked for some water.

Oh man, next thing you know, in a few years, she’s going to be asking for wine. Oh dear god.

~~~~ Taylor’s POV in LA ~~~~

Okay so, I decided to head back home because I technically didn’t need to be in Chicago until next week. I had already made plans, so everything that I need to do when I get there are set. While I was in bed, looking over some stats from the previous games, I rolled my eyes knowing that soon enough; the guys are going to get yelled at. And this time, not by me.

Ever since Carter and Richards were put on this team a couple years ago, I thought, oh my god, they are going to fuck it up for us. But then, after winning the cup, I was so surprised at them. But I still don’t like them till this day, so don’t get your hopes up. Rachel had died a couple years ago as well, so that pretty much hit everyone. She was like the mother of the group, actually being a mother to Trevor and all; we all basically lost a family member.

I sighed softly as I closed my MacBook and got off the bed. Walking out of the room, I went downstairs into the kitchen, stopping instantly when I heard laughter. I poked my head into the living room to see that Dustin had invited some of the guys over for a poker night. Rolling my eyes, I walked into the living room and stood there.

“What are you goofs doing?” I looked at them while shaking my head.

“Playing poker. Do you want to play?” My cousin, Drew Doughty said while sipping his water.

“I’m good thanks. I think you guys should be working on getting your grooves back because we need to win that cup this year! Listen, we play the Hawks soon, and I don’t want to lose to those assholes. I will not hear the end of it, so stop fucking playing poker and work on strategies!” I shouted, stomping my foot furiously on the floor.

“Taylor… what the hell is wrong with you?” Dustin asked, actually very concerned right now.

Should I tell him? Or should I wait…? I don’t think right now is the best time, mostly because I literally just shouted that shit out, out of nowhere. Now I feel bad for shouting at them.

“I’m sorry guys. I didn’t mean too.” I quickly apologized, picking with my fingernails.

“It’s okay Taylor… just tell us, what the matter is? Why are you going crazy?” Quick asked me.

“Nothing, I’m just tired, and cranky.” I smiled briefly.

And pregnant…
