Slap Shot (D.C. Stars, #3)

by Chelsea Curto

I exhale, gripping my stick and guiding the puck to my right. I look up at the rafters, a beam of light guiding me, and I smile. “For you, Mama,” I whisper.

Im gonna fukin Sob

I pull my stick back to my waist. I hit the puck as hard as I can, getting it off just before the defender can steal it from me. It hits the left side of the goal, a bounce off the post before crossing the goal line under the goalie’s knees as the buzzer sounds, ending the game. “LET’S FUCKING GO,” Maverick screams, jumping on me.

QUINN HUGHES ASSMOVE FUCK YEACH TWO TIMES STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONSLETS FUCKI GO

LIGE MIN ORD MAVERICK

The second I’m upright, I’m charging for Madeline. I’m banging on the glass and motioning for her to walk to me.

WHERES THE TROPHY HE JUST COMES RUNNING OVER TO ME

It’s a date other people would overlook, but not me. It’s been circled in my calendar for weeks now,

What the fuck are you planning woman

“Tell our girl I love her too, will ya?”

OUR GIRK IM GONNA BE SICK

Lucy grins. Does he know about my present? Nope. We need to get through the game, then you can give it to him. I hope he likes it, she signs, and I squeeze her shoulder. He’s going to love it

Im jus gona throw this out there ....... What if lucy is askinghim to adopt her or officially becomingher dad

Maverick scores, and the crowd cheers. He finds the camera after he does and pulls out the necklace tucked into his jersey, proudly showing off the little charms with the initials of Emmy and their daughter to all of America.

FUCK YES HES GIRLDAD MY PRAYERS HAS BEEN ANSWERED

“I have a feeling this year is going to be even better,” I say. He doesn’t know about the envelope Lucy is grabbing from her desk drawer. He’s clueless about the adoption papers she begged me to file so Hudson could legally be her dad.

I FUCKINGKNEW ITOMG OH MY FUCING GOD

He was planning on giving him to her on Christmas morning, but every day that passes, he gets closer and closer to ruining the surprise and bringing Bartholomew home.

BARTHOLOMEW METION FUCK YEAH

“This is the easiest answer of my life.” Hudson glances at Lucy and signs, Are you sure? Yes, Lucy answers, and she lunges for him. He holds her in a hug and buries his face in her hair. I love you, she adds when she pulls away to look up at him. I love you too, Lucy girl. Hudson looks at me, and his eyes are wet with tears. “Thank you.”

Im gonna cry a little bit
