You sat on your husband, Eddie Lack’s, lap while he played with your hair. You two were sitting in your living room enjoying the one night he actually wasn’t playing for Vancouver Canucks. On TV was the Florida Panthers vs. the Carolina Hurricanes game. It had been weeks since Eddie’s best friend, Robert Luongo, had been traded to the Florida Panthers. Still, your husband had not gotten over the fact Luongo had been traded.
“He’s playing a good game.” You said. Eddie looked distant and took a second to realize you had spoke to him. You pulled your brows together. “What’s up, babe?” You were surprised he wasn’t paying attention to the game.
He shrugged and shook his head, “Nothing…” He trailed off and kept looking off. You spun yourself around so you were straddling his lap and facing him.
“Tell me.” you said while leaning in close.
Eddie laughed and kissed you. “I’m just thinking about the future…”
You frowned and leaned back to look in his eyes. “What do you mean, Ed?”
Eddie shook his head and sighed, “I’m just thinking I’m 26 and you’re 25… We really aren’t getting any younger… I just was wondering if you… Would maybe want to start trying to have kids…”
Your jaw dropped as you looked at your husband. A big smiled slowly crept onto your face. “Eddie… I have been thinking about it a lot too, and I think we are ready.”
Eddie smiled and pulled you tight against his chest. “Thank you so much, babe. I want them so bad.”
You smirked deviously, “So how about we take this party upstairs… Maybe getting a jump start on this family plan of yours…”
You saw Eddie’s smile turn dark as he caught on. He stood up and carried you upstairs while you were still wrapped around his waist.
After a while you and Eddie cuddled up in bed and talked about how many kids you would want and if you wanted boys or girls. Eddie said that he wanted 4 kids. 2 boys and 2 girls. You decided that you wanted 2 kids, 2 girls. You both decided that for the time being you would plan to have 3 kids and love them no matter gender they turn out to be.
“I love you.” Eddie mumbled through a kiss on your temple.
You smiled and rolled on top of him. “I love you too… round 2?” You winked.
