Forever and Ever;;65

July finally came around, and that meant Jimmy's time with the cup. Something I had been waiting for, and was making my summer drag along. It was middle the middle of July but it seemed like September already. I was worried about one thing in particular. And that was what Jimmy's parents we going to say when we told them.


By now I was about a month and a half along. Just by looking at me you couldn't really tell I was pregnant. I myself could obviously tell. Only a few guys on the team knew. We were mostly waiting til' training camp to tell everyone else. Our original plan until, Aaron decided people should know. It wasn't really something I wanted everyone to know in the first place. We weren't married and I always thought that was the right way to do things. It was to late for that now.
While packing our suitcases, I picked up my blackberry from the nightstand, and called Aaron's number. I had some unfinished business with him. It rang about five times before he finally picked up, and he sounded tired. I looked at the clock just to make sure it was after noon, and it was 1:30. "Hey, can I call you back later?"
"Uhm, no. We need to talk."
"Can it wait?" He sighed loudly in my ear.
"It could, but you seem to think it's okay to tell everyone about my pregnancy. Guess who called me up yesterday?"
"Haha. Lets see... Babs?"
"Right, since someone just had to open their mouth, again!"
"I had to! He knew something was up. You should be happy to tell people, and since you won't, I will!" He kept laughing, but none of this was funny to me.
"Were waiting. I've told you this more than enough."
"Right. Well when are you guys leaving?"
"Early tomorrow. But, I'll come and see you before we leave. I know your gonna cry, but please don't."
"Ha Ha. Yeah, I'll miss you guys, but no crying."
"Yeah yeah, see you later."
As much as I didn't want to admit it, I was most likely miss him too. When I was close to someone, I hated being away from them for periods of time.
Jimmy and I would be gone for about a week and a half. We were going to tell his parents about the baby sometime while we were there. He tried his best to convince me they would be fine with it, but I thought differently. I was just as worried about telling mine. My Dad would probably not be happy, but he loved Jimmy, so why not?
I heard him come in just as I was putting a picture of the baby from my first ultrasound in my bag. I ran my finger across it, and then tucked it away. I ran out to the living room, since Jimmy was bringing the cup. I ran straight past him and fell to my knees in front of the box.
"Whoa there, calm down. Not like you haven't seen it before.." I ignored Jimmy's comments and struggled with the box. Finally I got it open, lifted it out and sat it in front of me.
I smiled when I saw the teams name engraved there. "2007-2008" I looked it over, reading the names one by one before picking it up and saying, "Stanley.. wow has it been a while..." The last time I held it was about 5 years ago, the last time the team won it, wow the memories. I wasn't old enough to drink with it then, so all I could do was eat my cereal in it every morning for two weeks. Definitely not as fun.
[Short and sweet right? I'm kinda going through a writers block right now, if you have any ideas where you want this to go let me know. A way to make it more intresting? Let me know, I'm stuck. Oh and does anyone know how i can get my words to stop morphing together like that ^ I put spaces but I don't know whats up with it?]
