Xander's POV

I couldn't even pay attention to what was happening on the screen. The players blurred together in the TV, my mind going to Liv upstairs.

She was taking her nap, her third one now and it's slightly past morning . I came down here because I didn't want to bother her.

These past weeks has been hell. I was sacred for my wife. The swelling, the blood pressure and most of all the tiredness was all worrisome.

I glanced at the clock, it was mid afternoon. Since I wans't going to practice anymore, there wasn't enough things to keep me busy. Yes I won't deny, I miss the ice and my teammates but Liv comes first before anything else.

Grunting, I turned off the television. Walking up the stairs quietly so as not to wake her up if she was still sleeping. I needed to check on her, staying away was getting hard.

I entered the room, shutting the door slowly. She wasn't on the bed, where would she be?

"Liv?" I called out, my voice echoing a bit in the quiet house.

  • OFF LIMITS: HIS BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER    PREGNANCY TROUBLES

    Olivia's POVIt's been a couple of months when Dr. Patel broke the news that I was three weeks pregnant in that hospital room. I still can't get off the excited expression from my mind. I was excited and overwhelmed at the same time hearing the news. This is all we have ever prayed for. Our bundle of joy that would make Xander a father. I knew already that what I was experiencing were pregnancy symptoms but I didn't want to jinx it in case it turned out false. Moreover being pregnant at my age wasn't going to be a walk in the park.The first thing we did after I got discharged from the hospital was informing Maya and Ethan about the good news. We were both in the car as Erikson drove us home from the hospital, with him congratulating us. Xander was even more excited compared to me, hounding me to inform quickly. "Let's tell them now," he said, grinning like a kid on Christmas. I nodded at him, heart pounding as I called Ethan. He picked up on the first ring."Mom? Are you okay? I

    Xander's POVPractice was over and the locker room was buzzing with smack talks and guys fooling around. Jokes were thrown at it each, insults that didn't have any bite, and asses were smacked. I was right in the middle of it, pulling off my sweaty jersey as I and Jake bantered."Man, you skated like you got bricks on your feet today," I teased him, grinning at him as I wiped my face with a towel.Jake shot back a jab as he laughed. "Oh yeah? At least I didn't trip over my own stick like some rookie player. What's your excuse? Still daydreaming about Jamaican beaches?"I chuckled, shaking my head. "I'm guilty as charged. Nothing would ever beat the vacation I had with Liv. The atmosphere was amazing there, better than this freezing cold weather we have here."The whole team knew about our trip to the Caribbeans.

    Olivia's POVIt's been a week since we came back from our vacation in Jamaica. The work load before I left doubled. As it seemed most patients wanted my “magic hands" on them. And as soon as people heard I had arrived back in Chicago they came back in their numbers. Xander was in the same predicament as me. The practice hours doubled, coming back home worn out and already sleepy eyed. I missed the weeks we spent in our vacation. The lazy mornings, non existents appointments and phone calls. Having breakfast in bed and just cuddling up with my man, and let's not forget the numerous adventures we had.To top all off, I started have the weird body quirks. A little bit of nausea when I eat something. I've even started to have subtle aversions to food I normally loved, like bread and pasta. My stomach was always bloated despite eating very little. The only thing I could stomach was plain crackers. It was probably my body adjusting to another climate change or jetlag.By mid week, it got
