Friday night was game seven of the finals and Sidney was all in playoff mode and so were the rest of the Penguins. Both teams came out fighting a great game but thanks to Max Talbot, who scored two goals, and helped the Penguins win the Stanley Cup. The celebration was amazing and everyone had a great time. Sidney brought the cup off of the plane and then of course the news reporters were all there wanting to talk to him and the nice guy that he was, he talked for a little while. Carrie headed straight to the car and waited and finally Sidney and a couple of his teammates put the cup in the car and they all headed off to Mario's place for more celebrating. It was literally later that day that everyone headed home for sleep. Carrie and Sidney slept for most of Saturday. That evening the guys had the guy baby shower and continued cup celebration at Mario's place and that meant that there was lots of drinking and acting like crazy guys. Sidney got some presents for the twins too.
Meanwhile Carrie and Vero were at Carrie's condo finalizing the details of Carrie's shower for Sunday. Vero was hosting the more 'dignified shower' as she called it because they both knew that the guy baby shower was just a reason for the guys to get together and drink and do stupid things. After the girls had everything planned out they decided to go and have dinner. Carrie called Sidney to see how things were going at his party.
"Hey Carrie" Sidney said kinda loud because there seemed to be lots of noise at Mario's house.
"Hey Sid, how are things going there? You guys sound like you are having a blast" said Carrie as she took the phone away from her ear.
"Oh yeah we are really enjoying ourselves. Lots of beer and fun" joked Sidney.
"I can hear that there is lots of fun. Vero says to tell Marc Andre hope he is having fun" Carrie said.
"I know he is because he is leading some sort of drinking game right now" laughed Sidney as he looked at Marc and Jordan leading some of the guys in some sort of drinking game. Sidney shook his head and laughed at them.
"Oh well I am sure she will be proud to know that. You guys are nuts. Just be really careful and nobody better get hurt or do something stupid" Carrie said with a concerned look on her face that made Vero listen to what Carrie was saying to Sidney.
"Don't worry doll face. I am always careful and everyone is staying put here tonight anyway so its all good. Mario took every one's keys away and hid them somewhere in the house so we are all really stuck."
"I will see you tomorrow and I love you Sidney."
"I love you too Carrie and have fun with Vero."
Carrie hung up her phone and then looked at Vero, who looked worried after what she had heard Carrie.
"What's going on with my crazy boyfriend?" asked Vero.
"He was leading a bunch of the guys in some sort of drinking game" Carrie told Vero as they both shook their heads.
"Good lord that Marc needs me to knock some sense into his stupid head" laughed Vero.
"Yeah there are times when I feel the same way about Sidney but he is just so cute that I have to let it slide" smiled Carrie.
"Yeah I know anywho you ready for some dinner?" asked Vero as she got up from the couch.
"Yeah let's rock in roll" Carrie said as she got up and they headed out for a nice dinner.
After dinner the two girls headed their separate ways and would see each other the next day at the baby shower for their own girl fun.
The next day Sidney got home around lunchtime and he found a note from Carrie saying that she was at the baby shower and would see him later. Sidney took a shower and then headed over to the hotel where his family was staying and they went to have a late lunch and then went back to the hotel to swim and hang out at the hotel pool.
Carrie got home and realized that the condo was quiet and wondered where Sidney had wandered to so she decided to call him.
"Hey Carrie, how are you?" answered Mrs. Crosby.
"Hey where is Sid?" asked Carrie.
"He is in the pool with Taylor and his dad. Hold on and I will get him for you."
"Thanks"
"Hey doll face. What's up and how was the shower?" asked Sidney as he dried himself off with a towel.
"It was lots of fun and I got all sorts of things. Lots of the stuff is still in the car because I could not bring it all up so hopefully you will be an amazing boyfriend and bring it all up here when you come home."
"I will. Hey I am going to come and get you now and then we can all hang here until dinner. Is that cool?" asked Sidney.
"Sure I will get myself ready and see you shortly" Carrie said smiling to herself.
"OK will be there in a little bit. Love ya."
"Love ya too Siddo."
Sidney showed up and Carrie was ready with all her stuff and they jumped back into the car and headed to the hotel. They all had a great time at the pool and talked about the twins and everything.
That evening they went to the hotel restaurant and had a great time spending time as a family. Finally Sidney and Carrie headed back to the condo and would see Mr. & Mrs. Crosby and Taylor for breakfast the next day.
When Sidney and Carrie got back to the condo, Sidney helped bring all the presents into the condo. They went through all the presents and then decided they both were exhausted after a several crazy days. As soon as Carrie's head hit the pillow she was out and so was Sidney.
The next morning Carrie woke up with pain in her abdomen.
"Oh god oh god! The babies" Carrie cried out as tears streamed down her face.
Sidney quickly called the ambulance and tried his best to comfort Carrie as he held her.
"Shhhh sweetheart everything is going to be ok. You and the babies will be fine. Try to relax and breathe for me baby" Sidney said in his calming voice.
Carrie breathed in and out and snuggled close into Sidney's arms. Finally the paramedics were at the condo and they got Carrie into the ambulance with Sidney following in his Range Rover. All Sidney was thinking on the way to the hospital was 'please let the babies and Carrie be ok'.

Best Friends Chapter 20
Needless to say the nursery was redecorated for twins instead of just one baby and Carrie had a blast. Sidney was getting more into the idea of twins and then joked that if they had four more kids they could start their own hockey team. Carrie gave him a death stare and he shut up very quickly and then Carrie suggested that if he wanted to give birth to the other four then she was all for more kids. Sidney was not interested in that idea so that was the end of that conversation.
Meanwhile Sidney was in playoff mode big time and Carrie just stayed out of his way.
"Hey Carrie have you seen my favorite hat anywhere?" asked Sidney as he searched frantically around the condo.
Carrie enjoyed watching Sidney running around like a crazy person looking for his hat. She had found it easily on her dresser with a couple of her hats.
"Is this what you are looking for, Sid?" Carrie asked casually holding it in her hand. Sidney looked at Carrie with relief and walked over to get it from her.
Carrie moved the hat behind her back and then moved around so that Sidney had to try and get it from her. Sidney looked at her with a sneaky smile.
"Oh so you want to play, Carrie?"
"No not really."
Sidney tried to get it from Carrie and she climbed onto the bed and stood looking down and Sidney with her arms folded in front of her with his hat. Sidney climbed onto the bed and grabbed Carrie so she could not get away. He picked her up and she struggled but he had a tight grip on her.
"Sidney put me down. I don't want to fall and hurt myself or the babies" Carrie shouted.
"I won't let you or the babies get hurt" Sidney said as he gently put her down and grabbed his hat and then jumped off the bed. He held out his hand and help her down off the bed. Sidney put his hat on and smiled in triumph. Carrie just rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Ok that was insane. What possessed me to get up on the bed is beyond me" laughed Carrie.
"Hey you were just trying to see what its like to get the upper hand and have some height on me" joked Sidney as he hugged Carrie.
"Yeah sure whatever you say dude" Carrie said as she held on tight to Sidney.
Sidney had to head off to practice but promised that he would be back with dinner for the two of them. Carrie was cool with that because she wanted to talk with Vero, Marc Andre's girlfriend, about the plans for Carrie's baby shower that Vero was having the next weekend. Sidney left and Carrie called Vero for the main thing to tell Vero about the twins.
"Hey Carrie, what's up?" asked Vero.
"I have huge news" said a very excited Carrie as she put her hand on her slight showing pregnant belly.
"Oh my god, Sidney proposed!" Vero practically screamed into the phone which cause Carrie to take the phone away from her ear.
"I can hope he will at some point but actually I or should I say, Sidney and I are expecting twins!" Carrie exclaimed.
"Holy cow are you serious, Carrie. Twins that's so awesome. Congratulations."
"Thanks Vero, it was not expected by either of us but I am excited knowing that I am having two babies."
"Luckily I have not sent out the invitations so I will make sure everyone knows that you are having twins."
"Thanks Vero you are the best. Oh did I tell you that Sidney's mom and sister are supposed to be coming to the shower?" asked Carrie.
"Yeah I remember that you told me to add them so its cool" said Vero.
"I can't wait for the shower and thanks again for hosting it and I know that the guys are having some sort of guy shower for Sidney after the playoffs. I think it is actually the day before mine and his dad is going to that. Its going to be a immediate Crosby family reunion next weekend" Carrie explained.
"Yeah and you will survive because you have the most precious cargo that everyone is celebrating."
"Yeah I know and they made sure I am exhausted and hungry all the time."
"I bet they do."
"Speaking of sleep, I am getting kinda tired so I am going to go. Thanks again Vero and I will talk to you later" Carrie said.
"Bye sweetie" Vero said as she hung up.
Carrie headed into the bedroom for a nap before Sidney got home with dinner. Carrie slept for a few hours until she heard Sidney call her name. She looked up and Sidney was laying next to her with a smile.
"Hey sleepyhead you have a good nap?" asked Sidney as he leaned in for a kiss.
"Yeah I did and what did you get for dinner because I am seriously hungry and so are the crazy Crosby babies?" asked Carrie as she smiled at Sidney.
"I got Italian. I hope that works for you."
"That sounds great. Lets go and eat" Carrie said as she got up and Sidney followed her to the kitchen table. They had a nice dinner and talked about their afternoons. That night they laid next to each other in bed and talked about the future which made Carrie think of what Vero had said about getting married. Not that it really mattered when or if they did, she just wondered where Sidney thought when he started this relationship would they be walking down the aisle at some point.
"Carrie you are thinking really hard now. What's on your mind?"
"When I was talking with Vero she said something that made me wonder about our future as a couple" Carrie said as she bit her lip.
"What did she say?"
"Well I told her I had huge news and she thought that you had proposed to me but I told her actually I was having twins and so I was just wondering...." Carrie said as her sentence faded out.
"Well..uhm...I have kinda been thinking about us down the road because of the fact that we are starting a family but I think I want to do something special and make it a surprise for you so you will just have to wait and see" Sidney said with that adorable smile that no girl can resist.
"I guess I will just wait and I just hope that you don't surprise me that I go into early labor" joked Carrie as she laughed.
"I love you Carrie Addison" Sidney leaned down for a kiss that Carrie accepted.
Meanwhile Sidney was in playoff mode big time and Carrie just stayed out of his way.
"Hey Carrie have you seen my favorite hat anywhere?" asked Sidney as he searched frantically around the condo.
Carrie enjoyed watching Sidney running around like a crazy person looking for his hat. She had found it easily on her dresser with a couple of her hats.

Best Friends Chapter 19
A few days later Carrie had a doctor's appointment about the baby. Sidney was coming along too because they were going to get the first pictures of the baby. Sidney was like a kid in a candy store because the ultrasound pictures were all he was talking about and his teammates were ready to throw him out the window. Carrie had been having extremely bad morning sickness and had become even more tired lately and she hoped that nothing was wrong with the baby but they would find out soon.
Carrie and Sidney got to the doctor's office and checked in and then waited to be called back to see the doctor. As they were sitting in the waiting room, Sidney found some parenting magazines and was looking at them and Carrie was sitting quietly trying to fight another bout of nausea.
"Hey Carrie are you ok sweetie?" Sidney said looking at her with major concern as he put his hand on her back.
"I just feel so nauseous right now, Sidney" Carrie said as she put her face in her hands.
Sidney rubbed her back as Carrie started to feel a little better as the nausea started to subside.
"That feels so good Sidney. Don't stop" Carrie said as she took a few deep breaths.
Sidney continued to rub her back and then the nurse happened to call them back. Sidney helped Carrie up and they headed to the room they were going to be in to talk with the doctor. The nurse took some stats on Carrie and then told her to sit and relax and that the doctor would be in shortly to see her.
A few minutes later the doctor walked into the room.
"Hey Ms. Addison and Mr. Crosby. Its good to see you two. How are you feeling, Ms. Addison?" asked the doctor, Mrs. Taylor.
"I have been fine but just a little bit ago I had a horrible bout of nausea and have been extremely exhausted a lot lately" Carrie said.
"Well let's take a look with the ultrasound machine and see if that can give us any clues" the doctor said as she set up the ultrasound machine. Finally Dr. Taylor put some goo on Carrie's abdomen and then took a wand and moved it around and they got the first pictures of the baby. Sidney and Carrie were excited and then the doctor said something that was a surprised to both of them.
"I think I know why you are even more tired and are having major nausea. You are having twins. You see there is one baby and baby number two is right here" Dr. Taylor explained the picture on the machine.
Carrie and Sidney were both quite in shock! Two babies!
"We are having twins?" asked a surprised Sidney.
"Yes, Mr. Crosby, twins but it makes sense because Ms. Addison is a twin so she has the twin gene more prominent" the doctor said.
"Wow" was all Carrie could say at that moment because she was still processing the whole concept of carrying twins.
"Do either of you have any questions you want to ask me about the babies?" the doctor asked. Sidney asked a million questions and Carrie talked too and they learned a lot and then the doctor had the first pictures made of the twins for Sidney and Carrie. They left the doctor's both happy and surprised. They were in for a huge change in their lives.
The ride home was this slightly different with Carrie talking a mile a minute and Sidney being quiet. He was happy but slightly overwhelmed.
"Hey Sid are you, ok? asked Carrie, "You are awfully quiet. Are you not happy about having twins?"
"Carrie I am fine" Sidney said acting kinda short with Carrie.
"Sorry for asking you anything, Sidney" Carrie said with tears in her eyes. She thought that maybe now that they were having twins that he might not want her or the babies. What could make him so mad? She would be ok and not worry about Sidney because she loved the idea that she was having twins. Carrie ignored Sidney as they got to the condo. She walked straight into the bedroom and slammed the door. Sidney went to the office room in the condo and stayed in there. They did not talk to each other for the next few hours until Sidney finally caved and went to find Carrie so they could talk.
"Hey Carrie can I come in?" asked Sidney as he stood at the door to the bedroom.
"Why you don't seem to be happy about the babies?" Carrie said as sat on the bed.
"Please I really want to talk to you."
"Fine come on in."
Sidney walked in and came over and sat down next to Carrie on the bed. He took her hand and looked in her eyes.
"Sorry for acting like an idiot, Carrie. I am just overwhelmed by the fact that we are having two babies and not one. I know I did not react well in the car ride back home when you were talking. I am so sorry. I am excited about the twins but when you told me back when you were first pregnant that we were going to have one baby not two and it never clicked that because you were a twin that we had a better chance of having twins. I know it sounds kinda naive but it never crossed my mind. I hope that you can forgive me and I know I am losing my chances with all the stupid moves I have been making. God how do you still love me and my crazy ways, Carrie?" explained Sidney with tears in his eyes.
"Hey I know its a big thing that we are having twins and I can understand why you are overwhelmed. I love you too but you are seriously losing your chances you better get your act together, hot shot or else. I forgive you because its not what either of us expected but we love and trust each other and will make it through this adventure" Carrie said as she pulled Sidney to her for a big kiss and a fun make out session.
Carrie and Sidney got to the doctor's office and checked in and then waited to be called back to see the doctor. As they were sitting in the waiting room, Sidney found some parenting magazines and was looking at them and Carrie was sitting quietly trying to fight another bout of nausea.
"Hey Carrie are you ok sweetie?" Sidney said looking at her with major concern as he put his hand on her back.

Best Friends Chapter 18
The next morning the team was gathering in a conference room at the hotel before practice to eat breakfast and have a team meeting. While everyone was eating Craig went over to where Sidney was sitting talking with Marc Andre.
"Hey Sidney, can I talk to you for a moment?" asked Craig.
"Yeah sure" Sidney said as he got up from the table he was sitting at with Marc Andre and a few other guys. They all looked at Sidney and Craig as they walked out of the room.
"What the hell were you thinking last night with that girl, dude?" asked Craig.
"She came onto me, Craig and I told her I had a girlfriend" declared Sidney.
"I told you that if you hurt Carrie, I would kick your ass, Sid."
"Kicking my ass is not going to help anything but I called Carrie last night and we have a long talk. I told her everything and that I love her and it will never happen again. She forgave me so you can just chill out!"
"Really she forgave you even though you kissed another girl?" Craig said in shock.
"Yes she did and I am not a player and mess around if I am in a committed relationship, which I am in right now with Carrie and I want to be with her forever" Sidney declared, "And now if you don't mind I would like to finish my breakfast before the team meeting starts" Sidney said as he headed back into the conference room. Craig stood there and decided to call Carrie and hear for himself that she was totally fine with what had happened with Sidney at the bar.
"Hey Craig, good morning" Carrie said as she was getting ready for her day.
"Hey Carrie, morning to you too. I was calling because of Sidney and what happened last night."
"We had a long chat last night and I am fine."
"Really?"
"Yes I am sure mainly because for the main reason he took responsibility for what happened last night. And if it had been Jack he would have used his guilty conscience and put the blame on me for some reason. Sidney has never done that to me and is a good guy and loves me and would never hurt me for any reason. Plus we totally trust each other" explained Carrie.
"Wow Carrie you really are a lot stronger person since that Jack situation. And I am impressed with how much you defended Sidney so I can really see that you love each other and are committed completely. I am just in awe of you right now and am happy for you too!" Craig said with complete admiration for his twin sister.
"Thank you Craig. Now is my gorgeous boyfriend anywhere nearby because I would love to talk to him" Carrie said smiling to herself.
"Hold on he went back into the conference room. I will go and get him if you hold on a sec."
"Sure no problem."
"Hey Sid, Carrie is on the phone and wants to talk to you" Craig said as he handed his phone to Sidney.
"Thanks Craig" Sidney said as he took the phone.
"Hey Carrie, good morning. How are you?"
"I am great now that I am talking with you" Carrie said.
"I miss you and can't wait to get home so I can be with you" Sidney said and then he got looks by his teammates and blushed.
"OK hot shot you need a cold shower. I hope that you have a great practice today."
"Yeah I always do. How are things in Pittsburgh? Is the baby ok?"
"Pittsburgh is fine and the baby is great. I am actually going to have dinner with Vero tonight" Carrie said.
"Oh that's cool, you and Vero will have a good time tonight."
"Oh we will. Hey listen I need to finish getting ready for work so I have to go. I mainly just wanted to say good morning and I love you, Sidney."
"I love you too and will talk to you later doll face."
Sidney hung up the phone and handed back to Craig. And then they all heard their coach trying to get every one's attention to start the meeting.
The meeting was not extremely long and then they were all headed to practice at the arena.
Practice was long and hard but they all knew they needed a serious butt kicking practice after the horrible game they had played the day before. After practicing on the ice, everyone headed to do some off ice working out. Finally they all headed to the showers and got ready to head back to the hotel for rest time. When Sidney got back to his room he called Carrie but got her voice mail so he left a message before taking his nap.
That evening the game was better and they actually won and everyone was in good spirits. The locker room feeling was unbelievable and there was a unanimous decision to leave that night instead of then next afternoon. They headed back to the hotel and pack up and left for the airport and were back in Pittsburgh extremely late but everyone was happy to be home. Sidney jumped into his Range Rover and zipped out of the parking deck and headed straight for Carrie's condo. He could not wait to surprise her.
Sidney crept quietly into Carrie's condo and got into the bedroom where he smiled as he saw her sleeping so peacefully. He quietly crawled onto the bed and kiss her lips. Which surprised Carrie who jumped up to a sitting position and looked at Sidney in shock.
"What are you doing here?" exclaimed Carrie who looked shocked.
"Sorry sweetie but I could not help myself and I had to kiss you" Sidney said giving her a huge grin.
"But you weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow afternoon? What are you doing here at 3am?"
"We decided since we won to head back early. Sorry for scaring you" Sidney said as he pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. Carrie snuggled close and relaxed.
"I am thrilled that you are back early" Carrie smiled happily.
"Me too, now I am exhausted and I know you are so let's go back to sleep and we can talk more later on" Sidney said as he got up and stripped down to his boxers and then got back into bed and laid down next to Carrie and they fell back to sleep.
The next morning Carrie overslept and when she looked at the clock she tried to get up but Sidney pulled her back to him.
"I have to get to work, Sidney. I am already late so I am going to have to call in and let them know" Carrie said as tired again to get away from Sidney.
"Call in sick because I don't want to sleep without you" Sidney said sleepily.
"Sorry dude, I have things that have to get done today."
Sidney grabbed her cell phone and found the number and called Mr. Wilson.
"Hey Mr. Wilson, its Sidney Crosby and Carrie is not feeling so well today so she is not going to make it in today" Sidney said.
"Oh I hope that she feels better. I hope that it has nothing to do with the baby, Mr. Crosby" Mr. Wilson said with concern.
"Yeah I think Carrie has been working really hard and its kinda caught up with her since she is pregnant. Thanks for understand sir."
"OK tell her to rest and I will talk to her later, Mr. Crosby. Goodbye" Mr. Wilson said.
"Goodbye Mr. Wilson" Sidney said and then hung up her cell phone.
"Now go back to sleep doll face" Sidney said as he kissed her and then got comfortable himself.
"What am I going to do with you Sidney?" asked Carrie as she moved closer to Sidney so she could go back to sleep.
"You are going to love me and as I promised you I was going to make it up to you so you have a day off" Sidney said as he went back to sleep.
They slept for most of the morning and when they woke up it was a little after one o'clock. Carrie had slept great and actually felt really good and was glad that Sidney had called in sick for her. She smiled at him and got up and went into the bathroom. Carrie walked out and Sidney was laying on the bed and looked at her.
"Good afternoon lazy butt" Carrie joked as she walked back to the bed and sat down.
"Hey you" Sidney said as he just laid on the bed.
"OK now we have a day off and probably a good day to talk about everything" Carrie said seriously.
"Yeah I know" Sid said as he moved to a sitting position.
"I meant that I forgive you Sidney and I know that you did not mean to hurt me. I told Craig that I trust you and that I know you are not like Jack and would never hurt me on purpose. So he understands that you and I are committed to each other" Carrie explained.
"Yeah he seemed cool with everything after you guys had talked so I truly and committed to you and I am NOT Jack and never will be ever. You are so important to me" Sidney said as he took her hand and pulled her to his lap. Carrie kissed Sidney and they just chilled out. Finally they got up to eat something and ended up having a lazy day in the house watching movies for the rest of the day.
"Hey Sidney, can I talk to you for a moment?" asked Craig.
"Yeah sure" Sidney said as he got up from the table he was sitting at with Marc Andre and a few other guys. They all looked at Sidney and Craig as they walked out of the room.
"What the hell were you thinking last night with that girl, dude?" asked Craig.
"She came onto me, Craig and I told her I had a girlfriend" declared Sidney.
"I told you that if you hurt Carrie, I would kick your ass, Sid."
"Kicking my ass is not going to help anything but I called Carrie last night and we have a long talk. I told her everything and that I love her and it will never happen again. She forgave me so you can just chill out!"
"Really she forgave you even though you kissed another girl?" Craig said in shock.
"Yes she did and I am not a player and mess around if I am in a committed relationship, which I am in right now with Carrie and I want to be with her forever" Sidney declared, "And now if you don't mind I would like to finish my breakfast before the team meeting starts" Sidney said as he headed back into the conference room. Craig stood there and decided to call Carrie and hear for himself that she was totally fine with what had happened with Sidney at the bar.
"Hey Craig, good morning" Carrie said as she was getting ready for her day.
"Hey Carrie, morning to you too. I was calling because of Sidney and what happened last night."
"We had a long chat last night and I am fine."
"Really?"
"Yes I am sure mainly because for the main reason he took responsibility for what happened last night. And if it had been Jack he would have used his guilty conscience and put the blame on me for some reason. Sidney has never done that to me and is a good guy and loves me and would never hurt me for any reason. Plus we totally trust each other" explained Carrie.
"Wow Carrie you really are a lot stronger person since that Jack situation. And I am impressed with how much you defended Sidney so I can really see that you love each other and are committed completely. I am just in awe of you right now and am happy for you too!" Craig said with complete admiration for his twin sister.
"Thank you Craig. Now is my gorgeous boyfriend anywhere nearby because I would love to talk to him" Carrie said smiling to herself.
"Hold on he went back into the conference room. I will go and get him if you hold on a sec."
"Sure no problem."
"Hey Sid, Carrie is on the phone and wants to talk to you" Craig said as he handed his phone to Sidney.
"Thanks Craig" Sidney said as he took the phone.
"Hey Carrie, good morning. How are you?"
"I am great now that I am talking with you" Carrie said.
"I miss you and can't wait to get home so I can be with you" Sidney said and then he got looks by his teammates and blushed.
"OK hot shot you need a cold shower. I hope that you have a great practice today."
"Yeah I always do. How are things in Pittsburgh? Is the baby ok?"
"Pittsburgh is fine and the baby is great. I am actually going to have dinner with Vero tonight" Carrie said.
"Oh that's cool, you and Vero will have a good time tonight."
"Oh we will. Hey listen I need to finish getting ready for work so I have to go. I mainly just wanted to say good morning and I love you, Sidney."
"I love you too and will talk to you later doll face."
Sidney hung up the phone and handed back to Craig. And then they all heard their coach trying to get every one's attention to start the meeting.
The meeting was not extremely long and then they were all headed to practice at the arena.
Practice was long and hard but they all knew they needed a serious butt kicking practice after the horrible game they had played the day before. After practicing on the ice, everyone headed to do some off ice working out. Finally they all headed to the showers and got ready to head back to the hotel for rest time. When Sidney got back to his room he called Carrie but got her voice mail so he left a message before taking his nap.
That evening the game was better and they actually won and everyone was in good spirits. The locker room feeling was unbelievable and there was a unanimous decision to leave that night instead of then next afternoon. They headed back to the hotel and pack up and left for the airport and were back in Pittsburgh extremely late but everyone was happy to be home. Sidney jumped into his Range Rover and zipped out of the parking deck and headed straight for Carrie's condo. He could not wait to surprise her.
Sidney crept quietly into Carrie's condo and got into the bedroom where he smiled as he saw her sleeping so peacefully. He quietly crawled onto the bed and kiss her lips. Which surprised Carrie who jumped up to a sitting position and looked at Sidney in shock.
"What are you doing here?" exclaimed Carrie who looked shocked.
"Sorry sweetie but I could not help myself and I had to kiss you" Sidney said giving her a huge grin.
"But you weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow afternoon? What are you doing here at 3am?"
"We decided since we won to head back early. Sorry for scaring you" Sidney said as he pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. Carrie snuggled close and relaxed.
"I am thrilled that you are back early" Carrie smiled happily.
"Me too, now I am exhausted and I know you are so let's go back to sleep and we can talk more later on" Sidney said as he got up and stripped down to his boxers and then got back into bed and laid down next to Carrie and they fell back to sleep.
The next morning Carrie overslept and when she looked at the clock she tried to get up but Sidney pulled her back to him.
"I have to get to work, Sidney. I am already late so I am going to have to call in and let them know" Carrie said as tired again to get away from Sidney.
"Call in sick because I don't want to sleep without you" Sidney said sleepily.
"Sorry dude, I have things that have to get done today."
Sidney grabbed her cell phone and found the number and called Mr. Wilson.
"Hey Mr. Wilson, its Sidney Crosby and Carrie is not feeling so well today so she is not going to make it in today" Sidney said.
"Oh I hope that she feels better. I hope that it has nothing to do with the baby, Mr. Crosby" Mr. Wilson said with concern.
"Yeah I think Carrie has been working really hard and its kinda caught up with her since she is pregnant. Thanks for understand sir."
"OK tell her to rest and I will talk to her later, Mr. Crosby. Goodbye" Mr. Wilson said.
"Goodbye Mr. Wilson" Sidney said and then hung up her cell phone.
"Now go back to sleep doll face" Sidney said as he kissed her and then got comfortable himself.
"What am I going to do with you Sidney?" asked Carrie as she moved closer to Sidney so she could go back to sleep.
"You are going to love me and as I promised you I was going to make it up to you so you have a day off" Sidney said as he went back to sleep.
They slept for most of the morning and when they woke up it was a little after one o'clock. Carrie had slept great and actually felt really good and was glad that Sidney had called in sick for her. She smiled at him and got up and went into the bathroom. Carrie walked out and Sidney was laying on the bed and looked at her.
"Good afternoon lazy butt" Carrie joked as she walked back to the bed and sat down.
"Hey you" Sidney said as he just laid on the bed.
"OK now we have a day off and probably a good day to talk about everything" Carrie said seriously.
"Yeah I know" Sid said as he moved to a sitting position.
"I meant that I forgive you Sidney and I know that you did not mean to hurt me. I told Craig that I trust you and that I know you are not like Jack and would never hurt me on purpose. So he understands that you and I are committed to each other" Carrie explained.

Best Friends Chapter 17
The guys got to Detroit and were now heading back to the hotel after practice for a lunch time meeting and then everyone was going to rest until the game. The meeting luckily for the guys was short and so everyone was ready to nap. Sidney went to his room that he shared with Marc Andre Fleury. Marc was still talking with the goalie coach and told Sid he would see him in the room shortly.
Sidney got in the room and went and sat on his bed. He decided to call Carrie just because he could.
"Hey hot shot what's going on with you?" asked Carrie.
"I am good. We had a good practice and a team lunch meeting and now I am getting ready for my nap before the game" Sidney said as he laid back on several pillows on his bed.
"Sounds like you have had a very busy morning so far."
"Yes it has and I am exhausted. Plus I miss you doll face and wish you were here because I always sleep better holding you."
"Oh good lord, Sid can you be any more corny with that line but I love you anyway" Carrie said as she rolled her eyes.
Just then Marc Andre walked into the room and heard Sidney talking to Carrie. Sidney nodded at his friend. Marc nodded back and went over to his bed and sat down to take off his shoes and get ready for his own nap.
"I know that you love me even if I am so corny its ridiculous" joked Sidney.
"OK well listen I need to go and eat some lunch myself so I am going to have to go. I will talks to you later, Sid. I love you."
"I love you too doll face. Later."
"Hey Sid, how's Carrie doing?" asked Marc as he laid down and got comfortable on his bed.
"She's good" Sidney said as he laid down and got ready to go to sleep.
"Cool man" Marc said as he drifted off to sleep himself.
A couple of hours later, Sidney and Marc got up from their naps and then got ready to head over to the arena for the game.
The game did not go the Penguins way at all. They lost badly and Coach Bylsma talked with everyone before they showered and got ready to head back to the hotel.
On the bus ride back to the hotel some of the guys decided to go out to a bar and try to have some fun. Sidney agreed to go with the guys because he figured it would be better than sulking in his room and mulling over what he could have done better.
So Sidney, Marc Andre, Jordan, Max, Tyler, Evgeni, Craig, and a few others planned on meeting in the lobby in a half an hour to head out for some guy fun at the bar.
The crew found a cool bar and found a table and ordered some drinks and just started talking and checking out the scene. They were all having a great time and the drinks were flowing. Some girls were staring their way and the guys were joking that they were after Sidney. Then one of the girls came over and went straight for Sidney. Craig noticed this and watched because Sidney was not completely wasted but he had knocked back a couple and was kinda buzzing. Sidney smiled at the girl as she sat down next to him and was talking to him but he kept his hands to himself. Her friends came over and sat down too and started talking with the other guys and everyone was having a good time. At one point the girl talking with Sid put her hand on his leg and was doing some serious flirting. Sid flirt a little but when the girl kissed him, he pulled back and told her that he was in a very serious relationship but the girl told him 'who cares and your girlfriend will never know'. Craig saw this and looked at Sid and Sid looked at Craig and knew that Craig was going to tell Carrie what had happened and Sid did not like that idea at all. Sidney finally got up and said that he was heading back to the hotel. Marc got up too and said that he was joining Sidney. They left the others behind.
"Oh god Marc, what I am going to do. Craig is seriously going to kill me. I have to talk to Carrie first" Sidney said as he pulled out his cell phone and called Carrie even though it was late. He needed to make sure she knew what had happened. Sidney waited for Carrie to pick up her phone. Finally after three rings a very sleepy Carrie answered her phone.
"Hello" Carrie said half awake.
"Hey doll face. Sorry to wake you up but I have to talk to you."
"What's up?"
"You know we lost the game and so the guys decided to go to a bar this evening and I went with them and we were drinking and some girl came over to me and kissed me. I told her I was in a serious relationship and so I am now leaving with Marc and heading back to the hotel. I just wanted you to hear it from me because Craig saw it too and I just don't want you to think I would ever hurt you. I love you, Carrie and as I have said all along, you are the one I want to be with" explained Sidney.
"Wow you kissed another girl, huh?" Carrie was now awake and upset. Sidney could tell she was upset and wished he was there to hold her.
"Doll face you know I would never want to mess up our relationship. I swear to God."
"I...uh...I don't know what to say" sniffled Carrie.
"Baby please don't cry I am so sorry and it will never happen again" promised Sidney.
Carrie started crying harder and luckily Sidney and Marc had made it to the room and Sidney went into the bathroom and closed the door. Marc knew to give Sidney his space so he turned on the television.
"Carrie please man. I wish I was there so I could hold you. You gotta know that it meant nothing and I love you" Sidney continued to plead into the phone.
"I...I...wow I really don't know what to say" sniffled Carrie as she was sitting on their bed.
"I love you and I know I have said that a bunch in a short period of time but I really mean it totally, Carrie" Sidney said as he started to get upset too.
"I am surprised and confused at all of this" Carrie said.
"I know you are and all I wish I could do right now is be there with you. I will be home tomorrow night and we can talk, ok" Sidney said because he knew it was late. And he could tell by Carrie's voice that she was exhausted and this is probably not good for them to be arguing because the stress might be bad for the baby.
"Yeah I will see you tomorrow night and we can talk more. Good night Sidney" Carrie said before she hung up.
Sidney looked at his phone and then put his face in his hands as he sat on the floor of the hotel bathroom. God he thought I so screwed up yet I love her so much that I won't lose her.
Carrie laid in the bed for a few minutes and thought that Sidney really felt bad about what had happened. She knew deep down in her heart that he did love her more than anything and she realized that. She loved Sidney so much that she decided to call him back.
Sidney was still sitting on the floor when his cell phone rang and he looked down and smiled.
"Hey sweetheart" Sidney said.
"I just realized that I forgot to tell you two important things. First, that I forgive you and know you did not mean to do what you did. And second, I love you more than anything" Carrie declared with all of her heart.
"Oh doll face, I am so lucky to be with you and love you. I swear when I get home I am going to make it up to you by showing you how much you mean to me."
"OK I can't wait to see what you are going to do meanwhile I am tired so good night and I love you, Sidney."
"I love you too, Carrie. Good night."
They both slept very well that night knowing that they loved each other not matter what they went through as a couple.
Sidney got in the room and went and sat on his bed. He decided to call Carrie just because he could.
"Hey hot shot what's going on with you?" asked Carrie.
"I am good. We had a good practice and a team lunch meeting and now I am getting ready for my nap before the game" Sidney said as he laid back on several pillows on his bed.
"Sounds like you have had a very busy morning so far."
"Yes it has and I am exhausted. Plus I miss you doll face and wish you were here because I always sleep better holding you."

"OK well listen I need to go and eat some lunch myself so I am going to have to go. I will talks to you later, Sid. I love you."
"I love you too doll face. Later."
"Hey Sid, how's Carrie doing?" asked Marc as he laid down and got comfortable on his bed.
"She's good" Sidney said as he laid down and got ready to go to sleep.
"Cool man" Marc said as he drifted off to sleep himself.
A couple of hours later, Sidney and Marc got up from their naps and then got ready to head over to the arena for the game.
