The morning of Sidney's birthday. I got up early was making breakfast because we had a very long day ahead of us.I was flipping a pancake, I jumped when I felt a pair of arms wrapped around me.

"Whatcha doing?" He kissed my ear. I smiled

"A Big day calls for a big breakfast."

"Nice, but Pancakes, bacon, eggs, fruit." He said taking a piece of an apple. I put the last pancake on a plate. I turned off the stove. I turned around.

"It's your birthday." I wrapped my arm around his neck.

"More important its cup day." He said

"You think so."  I said, I kissed him.

"You look good today." He had his hands only hips, and pushed me away.

"I feel good today."

"No morning sickness?"

"Nope."

"Great." He smiled "you know they're a little something here." He touched my stomach.

"Yeah." I smiled. He kissed me. I rubbed his back. "Happy Birthday by the way." I said

"Thank you." He smiled. "Is that the time?" He asked "I gotta be down at the pier in a hour and half."

“well you start eating and i’ll get the boys.”

“no , let me get them.”

“you just you gotta be somewhere in an hour and a half.”
“but i want to get the boys, start their plates.”

“yes, birthday man.” i said, he smiled and ran up the stairs. i shook my head, he was such a little kid when he’s excited about something, he's always been like that. i put everyone plates on the table.

“someone not having today.” Sidney said, holding Dylan.

“oh great, where’s the other two?”

“still haven't moved.”

“it gonna be one of them days.” i took Dylan  from him

“Sid, eat.” i told him.
“okay.”

“hey little man.” i whispered, “want something to eat?”

“mmmm” he pressed his face more into my neck.

‘Okay, lets go get your brothers.” i walked upstairs. I got the boys up. they made their way downstairs.

“Happy Birthday, Daddy.” Aiden said

“Thanks, bud, are you ready for the cup?” Sid asked, I put Dylan in a chair.

“yeah.” he said, the boys ate.Sidney got up, put his plate in the sink, he kissed my cheek

“i’m gonna shower, and change, i'm gonna be a little late.” he said “you get something to eat.”

“i will.” I said, I ate as the boys finished up. Sid came downstairs.

"My man." I said, wiping my hands off,

"Hey beautiful." He grabbed my hips and pulled me towards him, I smiled. He went to kiss me, and his phone started ringing. "That the second call now," he said

"You need to go," I kissed him

"Daddy can I go?"Alden asked

"Nope." I said "you got to get dress, daddy gotta leave now, but we're see him in a little."

"Okay, you go." I told him,

"Okay, I'll see you." He kissed me.

"See you later guys."

"Bye daddy." Oliver said,

“okay, time to get dress.” i turned around. I rushed the boys upstairs. Aiden and Oliver dressed themselves. I got Dylan dressed into dark blue shorts, and i button down shirt. i rolled up the sleeves.

“aren’t you the cutest little boy?” i said, kissing his cheek. he giggled.

“mama” Aiden said, i turned around to Oliver had on shorts and polo. Aiden had on jean shorts, with a black v-neck t-shirt.

“i’m sorry, i have the three cutest little boys.” i said, pulling them all into hug.

“mama.” oliver wined. “can we go see Daddy?”

“let me get change.” i said, i got up. i put on a pair of capris, and a white flowy tank top, with long necklace. i did my makeup. I looked at the clock. we were so late. I ran out of the bathroom. i stood in front of the mirror i fixed my hair. and just looked myself. i really looked like a mom. trust me i love being a mom, but Sidney wasn't looking like a dad, He was just as good looking as he was when we met, maybe even better looking.

“mama” i jumped “can we go now?” Aiden asked

“yeah.” i grabbed my phone, and my shoes. i put my shoes on real quick. “ready boys.” I picked Dylan up, and ran downstairs. i grabbed my purse, made sure i everythin, grabbed a back packed of extra clothes for the boys. “ okay lets go” I turned the lights off. Aiden and Oliver ran to the car. i locked the door behind us. i throw the bag in the back. Oliver and Aiden jumped into the car. i opened the other. door. my phone started ringing. “oh my.” I put Dylan in his seat.

“hello” i answered

“are you okay?” Sid asked

“yeah we’re fine, just running a little late.”

“I knew, i should have had someone came and help you.”

“honey, i’m fine. putting Dylan in his seat now.” i said, smiling at Dylan. I double checked Oliver and Aiden seat belts.

“we'll be there is no time.” i said, getting in the car. I throw my purse in the passenger seat. “okay. leaving now.”

“okay, love you.”

“love you too, bye”

“bye.”

I pulled into the parking lot.

"Okay, are you guys ready?" I asked Aiden, and Oliver were already unbuckled and started opening the door. "You two stop." I said

"Why?" Aiden asked

"Just wait." I grabbed my purse and put it over my shoulder. I got out, "you two wait until, I get your brother out." I said, I went around unhooked Dylan."ready to see, daddy big guy?" I asked Dylan. I picked him up.

"Grandma!" Oliver yelled I looked up Trina was walking towards the car. I shut the door. Then opened the door.

"Okay, go get her." I said the boys jumped down and ran to her.

"Grandma is the cup here?" Aiden asked

"It is! It's waiting for you three." She said, I smiled.

"Hi, Britt."

"Hey, Trina."

"This place is nuts." She said,

"I can hear." I said "where's Sid?" I asked

"Talking to the press, before the parade."

"Come here, baby." She took Dylan from me.

"Boys slow down." I said. We finally found Sid. I was holding aiden and Oliver's hands.

"Boys." Sid said, kneel down and put his arms out. I let go of the hands. Trina put Dylan down. Dylan grabbed my legs.

"Dylan, go get daddy."

"Dude." Sidney said, walking over and kneel down. He wrapped he arms around Dylan, and pulled him really tight. Dylan laughed. I smiled. He picked Dylan up.

"You want a hug too?" He looked at me, I smiled he put one arms around me. I laughed

"Someone really happy."

"Why shouldn't i?" He asked, I kissed his neck.

"I want you to ride with me." Sid said

"No."

"No?" He asked

"I mean, no the boys should ride with you." I said

"So Why shouldn't you?"

"Because the boys have been looking forward to this."

"This is all Aiden has been talking about, so him and Oliver need to be on that truck with you."

"You're right." He said "and I'm gonna take this guy with me too."

"You sure?" I asked

"Yeah." He kissed me.

As the parade ended I climbed out of the car, with Taylor. Sid walked up to us, holding Dylan hand.  Aiden and Oliver running past him.

"You two stay right here." I said

"Mama, that was so much fun." Oliver said

"It was." I smiled, I looked at Sid. Dylan run to me, and grabbed my legs, pressed his face into them. I put my hand on the back of his head, not looking away from Sid.

"You're not carry the cup." I said

"I had to get him over here, and he wanted to walk." He said

"That's a first."

"I know, so I'll be back."  he said turning around.

“so you guys had fun?” I asked

“yeah.” Dylan said, i looked down.

“yeah?” i smiled

“okay.” Sid said walking back over. he looked at me. “next is on stage, then its the little kids hockey game.”  Sid decided instead of doing a street game with his friends this year, he wanted to have little kids play, the team he played for when he was just starting. i play and he would ref, then all the kids could get picture taken it with the cup, and get touch it and stuff.  

“Okay.” i said, he smiled “you look beautiful.”

“sidney.”

“you do.” he leaned in.

“Sidney, we need you on stage.”

“ugh!’ he said, putting his head down.

“later.”

“okay.” he walked up on stage. the crowd went nuts. Aiden was half way up the steps, and sat there so he could see his daddy. Oliver right behind him. I picked Dylan.

“can you see daddy?” i asked, he nodded.

“hey everyone, hows everyone today?” he asked, the crowd screamed . he started speaking, he was speaking so different than he did when he first won the cup, he was the same person but there was something different. He thanked, his teammates coaching staff, the fans. He looked out at all of us, looking back at him. " and my parents who were there for everything, And taking me to 6am practices, and letting me love my dream. I know what that like now." He said I smiled looking at Aiden. "My sister Taylo, I know it wasn't the easiest thing growing without me there, I'm glad I could be there for you now." I looked at Taylor, Anthony put his arm around her. "Of course my boys, Aiden, Oliver, and Dylan. The reason that I play hockey has changed over the years, from when started playing to now, but for the past seven year my reason has been them. Everything I do any more is for them, I work so hard because I want then to be proud of me. I love you, guys!" I was holding back tears at the point.  I wiped my eyes. "Last but of course not least my beautiful wife, Britt I could never have done any of this without you, and I know that the hard stuff always falls to you, and you have to deal with a lot during the seaso, and I couldn't be more grateful for you. I love you, baby! Thank you!" He said staring at me, I was crying. He looked away. "Okay, again everyone thank you-"  I whipped my face.

"Tay, please take him." I handed her Dylan. "Yeah." She said, I walked up the steps

"Stay here." I told Aiden and Oliver.

"Thank you." Sid said waving. He turned , he stopped as he saw me. I smiled and grabbed his hand. I walked up to the mic.

"Hi, I'm Sidney wife, Brittany, it is okay if I say something?" I asked looking at Sid, he looked so confused and nodded. "Umm this man right here, you guys see a different side of him then I do. . You guys see a skillful, reasonable,a leader. And he is all of that at home, he is. But I see a smart, funny, handsome, dork." I said, he laughed, I grabbed his hand tigher. "But he's a amazing father and a wonderful husband. I couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the rest of my life with, or to be the father of children. I am so proud of you, and everything that you have done since I've known you... No everything that you have done in your life.. I love you."

"I love you."

"Oh and Happy Birthday." I said  "Okay, that all I just you guys to see a different side of him." I smiled, the crowd clapped. He pulled me into a hug.

"I love you so much." He whispered in my ear. I kissed him. I walked off stage.

"Brittany that was great." Trina said

"Thank you." Sidney walked off the stage with the cup.

We made our way to the hockey rink, some hockey it almost three hours to get every little kid to see the cup. Sidney walked up to me.

"You." He said, he looked so tired. "I've miss-"

"Sidney we need to get back to your guys place, Taylor said people are starting to show up." Trina said

"Okay." He said, "dad, can you drive my car, and take the boys, I want to ride with Brittany."

"Yeah."

"Thanks, bud, Oliver, they running for minute. Wait where Dylan?" Sid asked putting the cup down

"Taylor took him with her to see if he go down for a nap." I said

"Good idea." He smiled, and handed his dad his keys. We went to the car.

"This is the reason why you wanted to ride with you." He said.

"What?!" He pinned me against the car. "Sidney." I laughed, he grabbed my face and kissed me.

"I feel like I haven't seen you all day." he said, I smiled I wrapped my arms around him.

"Mmm."

"What's this for?"

"I've missed you too." I said, into his chest. We got into the car. I started the car. He climbed into the passages seat.

"So has today been everything you thought it would be?" I asked

"Yeah, it's been okay."

"Okay?" I asked

"Yeah, I love sharing it with the city, I think I kinda wish it would have just been us. I mean this is the third one."

"Yeah, well we have tomorrow, and tonight, tonights just us, and some friends. And you can always change the plans for tomorrow."

"There already set."

"Well then you have next year." I stopped at a light and looked at him.

"Yeah- are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You look tired."

"I'm fine."

" hey turned up here."

"What?"

"Turn."

"Okay." I turned into this park.

"What are we doing?"

"Just keep driving." He said, and leaned back in his seat. I kept driving. "Okay, over this little hill, then your gonna pull over to right."

"Okay." I pulled over "what are we doing?"

"Turn the car off."

"Sidney."

"Brittany, just turn off the car and follow me." He said, and got out if the car.

"Oh. Someone bossy." I said getting out.

"Bossy, you want to talk about bossy."  He said, I looked at him. He laughed

"Where are we going?" He pointed across the street to a picnic table over this tree bloom with beautiful white flowers.

"I found this the other day on one of my runs."

"It's beautiful." I said, Sid put his arms around me.

"Come on." He grabbed my hand.

"Sid we have a whole bunch of people at our house, waiting for you."

"And they wait a little longer, I haven't seen my wife all day."  We sat at the picnic table. He put his arm around my shoulder. I put my arms around his waist. He pulled my close.

"This place is so quiet." He said

"I think anywhere would be quiet, after people yelling at you all day." He laughed

"True" he said "umm baby."

"Yeah."

"Your speech."

"Yeah?"

"I love it, where'd it come from?" He asked, I looked at him.

"I have no idea, because I didn't plan it, but after you said that stuff about the boys, I had to say something."

"You made me feel like I'm doing my job as a father and husband."

"You are, everything I said was true, Hun."

"Your an amazing wife."

"Sid"

"You are, and not just saying that,  the way you put the boys first, before yourself."

"That's what moms do."

"And you're the best."

"Sid I --" I just looked at him, then I kissed him hard.  He kissed me back. We pulled apart.

"Woah." He said with his eyes still shut. I laughed he grabbed me and put me on his lap. My put my forehead on his.

"Speaking of being a mom, when I looked in the mirror today I realized I look like a mom" I said, he busted out laughing

"It's not funny, you don't look like a dad, you're still hot."

"Why thank you, but baby your sexy as hell."

"Stop."

"No, you got curves that go on for days." He touched my sides. " you're hairs soft, eyes are--." He looked me in the eyes. "Eyes are---"

"Shh" I kissed him. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He grabbed my legs. His phone rang. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket.

"It's my mom, Hello.....yeah, we're on way. We're fine, yeah we're almost there." He hang up. "We gotta go."

"But--"

"She said, there a lot people of there."

"I told you that."

"I know, but i wanted to with you for a little."

"Why do you alway do this to me?" I asked

"Whta?"

"Get me hot and bother, and then we gotta go somewhere."

"Keep you on your toes, and it makes later so much better."

"Oh my god!" I laughed

"Let's go." He said, I stood up.

We walked in the house. Sid made his way to the back yard. Taylor was in the kitchen.

"Hey Tay"

"Hi, where were you two?" She asked

"We just need a little alone time." I smiled, taking a carrot stick off the veggie tray, and taking a bit. "Where's Dylan?"

"Still sleeping."

"Still?"

"He was asleep before we got here."

"I knew he was tried." I said looking outside.

"Woah." I looked over, Taylor grabbed the counter, almost falling over.

"Taylor." I grabbed her. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"No your not, come on." I walked her into the living room. We sat down. "Let me get you some water."

"No, I'm fine."

"Tay."

"I can talk to you right."

"Of course, we always talk, what's going on?"

"I'm pregnant." She said,

"What?"

"I'm pregnant."

"How far?"

"Only 6 weeks."

"Does Anthony know?"

"Yeah, we're really happy"

"Then that's great." I smiled "why do you look so scared?"

"What if people think that the only reason were getting married is because of this."

"That is none of their business."

"You and Anthony are getting married because you love each other. Not because you're having a baby, and on top of that you two have been together for 7-8 years."  

"Your right, but I still think we're gonna wait until after the wedding to say something."

"There nothing wrong with that." I said "I'm happy for you two, Congrats." I hugged her.

"Thanks."

"How are you feeling?"

"Good, minus what just happened but I've running around today."

"Yeah, just get plate of food, and a water you'll good as new." I said "but first I have something to tell you."

"Was this planned?"

"It was."

"You two nuts?" She said

"Why?" I asked

"Fours kids!" I laughed

"We never wanted four ever, we always talked about two and the beginning if the summer, he asked to have another."

"I said why not?"

"Your guys are gonna have four boys."

"No."

"What?"

"Little girl, we're hoping for a girl, he wants a little girl really bad. So were crossing our fingers."

"Congrats."

"Thank you."

"Mama!" Dylan cried from upstairs.

"Oh, my big guy." I got, Dylan was standing at the top of the stairs. "I'm coming", I walked up the stairs, moved the baby gate. "Hey, how was your nap?" He laid his head my shoulder. I walked back down the stairs.

"Tay, we're not telling anyone yet." I told her

"Oh yeah, us either." i nodded
