NHL Imagines

Tyler Seguin (DS)

   It had been a week since my last period was supposed to be here. I laid in bed thinking of the possibilities. I had just finished my university exams and I was anticipating my marks, so it could be stress. I hadn't been eating well because of the stress, so maybe it was that, but lastly, maybe I was pregnant. Ty and I didn't do it often, and I was on birth control, so maybe I was just stressing about this too much. I got up out of bed in our Dallas apartment and went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee like usual, but when I opened the coffee container I immediately felt like throwing my guts up. The smell was unbearable to me and made me nauseous just thinking about it. I called Tyler, who was at the gym.

   "Hey muffin, how're you?" Ty asked, I could practically hear him beaming through the phone.

   "Not too good, I'm really nauseous, do you think you could pick up something for me?" I asked.

   "of course, what do you need?"

   "a pregnancy test, or like 3." I spoke and I knew that Tyler's ever smiling face was smiling no more.

   "wait, what? you think you're pregnant?"

   "maybe, I'm a week late. Anyways just pick them up on the way home from the gym."

   "no I'll bring them to you now, no biggie. I'll be there in 20 or so." He said before he hung up, he had concern in his voice and that made me scared.

   I got up off the floor and went to get a glass of water and sat down on the couch. I couldn't be pregnant, I was only 23 years old with a promising career in marketing and Ty and I had no intentions on starting a family. I didn't even know if he wanted to marry me, let alone want me to have his child.

   I decided to flick on the tv, hoping to calm my nerves, but all I could think of is what if Tyler didn't want a child? He was at the prime in his hockey career and a kid would ruin that. I didn't want to ruin all he had worked for since he was young. I must of drifted off because when I woke up, Tyler was sitting beside me, stroking my arm.

   "Babe I got you a few tests, different ones in case you didn't like one of them." He said softly, he could tell I was upset.

   "Y/N, we won't know unless we do the test." He spoke again.

   I threw the blanket aside and grabbed the bag off the counter and went inside to the bathroom. I wasn't scared about having a baby, I was scared to know what Tyler would do when he found out. I took out 2 tests from the bag and set them down on the counter by the toilet.

   Now I had to wait in agony, wondering if there was life inside me or not. Wondering if Tyler was going to leave me or not. Wondering if our parents would support us or not. My parents already weren't fond of Tyler, so imagine their reaction if I told them he knocked me up.

   I was sat on the bathroom floor when Ty knocked on the door.

   "5 minutes is up sweetheart." He said, nerves in his voice.

   I didn't answer him, but I slowly pushed myself off the cold tile and walked to the sink. Two little pink lines appeared on each of the tests.

   "I'm pregnant..." I said to myself, I thought I'd be crying, but instead I felt numb.

   I grabbed one of the tests and opened the door, walking out to Tyler.

   "what's the news?" he said while focusing on the tv and then up at me.

   I tried to speak, but I couldn't form words. I walked over and sat on the couch beside Ty and placed the stick on his lap.

   "You're not serious! I'm going to be a dad!" he said, excitement in his eyes as he turned to hug me.

   "You're not mad?" I say, fighting back tears while I look at him.

   "Mad? Why would I be mad? Sure it's not the best timing, but life's gonna go on. You're the strongest woman I know and if anyone can work through this its you. Trust me, I love you and I'll be here for you." He says, while holding my hands and looking into my eyes. 

   Maybe I was ready to have a baby with this man. I smiled and looked back over at Ty, the love of my life.
