Physical Therapy

Roxy’s POV

It has been a month since my accident and I am at the doctors to get some X-Rays done to see how the bones are healing.

“Is there a possibility you are pregnant?” the tech asks

“I don’t think so” I say with a shrug but he makes me wear the vest just in case.

“Well we will get these printed as soon as possible but until then you can go back to the waiting room” he says and I make my way there. When I get there I see Evgeni kneeling down in front of a little boy who has a cast on his arm like me.

“Hi” I say as I roll up to them and put a hand on his back.

“Hi, this Trevor” he says gesturing o the little boy “He has broken arm like you”

“Oh, how did that happen?” I ask leaning down also

“Fell off the playground” he says “How did you get yours?”

“I got into a car accident” I said

“Can you sing my cast?” he asks Geno

“Sure, do you have pen?” he asks and Trevor asks his mom but she shakes her head no. I can see the tears starting to well up in his eyes so I search my purse for a sharpie.

“Well, look what I have” I say and pull the sharpie out of my purse. He starts bouncing on his toes but stops the minute Geno puts the pen near his cast.

“Is she you wife?” he asks Geno in a mock whisper

“No, she my girlfriend” he whispers back

“Oh she is really pretty and nice” he whispers back “Are you going to marry her?”

Before he answers he looks at me and my blushing face and whispers back “Yeah, I hope so” to Trevor. “I hope you get better” he says after he signs his cast and stands up.

“Thank you” he says goes back to his mom.

He sits down in the chair next to my chair and grabs my hand. “Do you not care if someone sees?”
“No, unless makes you uncomfortable” he says and starts to pull away.

“No, I just wanted you to know that people will see” I say and squeeze his hand.

“I don’t care” he says and kisses my temple.

It takes another half an hour of waiting before am called back again and this time Geno comes with me.

“Well Miss Stone, your X-Rays look good and your arm is healing well” the doctor says as he looks at my X-Rays. “I would say it will be healed in the next month”

“And my leg?” I ask

“Yes, since your leg was just fractured after the accident it is healed and now I feel comfortable for you to got out of the soft cast and into a brace”

“No more wheelchair?” Geno asks

“Well since you haven’t used it in a month you will probably be very weak on that leg. I say keep the wheel chair but you can now walk on it for short periods of time. Elevate and ice after walking on it. After this a nurse will come in and fit you for your brace and get you signed up for physical therapy”

“I am a physical therapist, can I do it myself?” I ask

“I would feel better if you went to therapy, so you don’t push yourself too hard but I can’t force you into anything” after thinking for a few seconds I turn to Geno.

“Do you think Mike will help me?” I ask

“Of course, all have to do is ask” he says

“Mike Kadar is another physical therapist I work with; can I do it through him?”

“Of course, it is your decision” the doctor says “well the nurse should be in soon and I will see you at your next appointment in a month”

“Thank you, I will see you then” I say to him before he leaves.

“Thank God, I can finally get out of this chair. I have gained like five pounds in a month” I say
“You look fine to me” Geno says

“You are biased. Do you see this?” I ask and grab some fat on my stomach “This use to be flat and I will get it back there”

“You hear doctor, don’t push yourself. You still beautiful”

“Thanks but I will feel better when I get my weight back down to normal” I say and he stays quiet but I can see he is thinking about something. “What?”

“What happen when get pregnant?” he asks

“What do you mean?” I ask

“Will you try to keep weight off?” he asks

“No, this is different. If I was pregnant I would stay healthy but I wouldn’t put my baby in danger because of how I look” I say a little hurt and defensive. “You really think I would do that?”

“No, I was just asking” he says

“I would never do that” I say and turn away from him but before he can speak the nurse comes in to fit my brace.

“Are you Evgeni Malkin?” she asks and I see her eyeing him.

“Yes, fan?” he asks politely

“I’m a huge fan of yours” she says and bats her eyelashes. It is like I am not even here.

“That’s cool. Can you fit my brace for me, we have somewhere we need to be soon” I say with a little bite and I get a weird look from Geno.

“Of course” she says and narrows her eyes at me.

After I get the brace fitted right we exit the hospital and don’t talk until we get in the car.

“What was that?” he asks

“Me?! Did you not notice she was totally flirting with you right in front of me?”

“She just being nice” he says and backs out of the parking space.

“Yes, and I am the crazy possessive girlfriend” I say and roll my eyes. “I know you would act the same way”

“No I wouldn’t” he says as he pulls up to a stop light

“Ok, you are telling me that you would be fine if a guy came up to us and flirted with me right in front of you?” I ask and he just grumbles an answer. “Exactly” I say and the rest of the car ride is silent.

We get back to his empty house since both our families have gone back to their respective homes. I know he is angry with me but not horribly since he still comes around and gets me out of the car. I walk into the house and it feels awkward since I haven’t used my leg in a while. I know I am going to be sore later because of it. I crash on the couch and I hear Geno rustling things around in the kitchen. A minute later he comes in with an ice pack and puts it on my leg. He goes to walk away but I catch his hand and pull him down so he is kneeling in front of the couch. I pull him into a gentle kiss before pulling away and resting my head against his.

“I’m sorry I acted that way but I don’t like seeing girls flirt with you” I whisper

“What matter is I don’t flirt back” he says

“I know and I trust you, it’s them I don’t trust” I say and run my fingers through his hair.

“I get same way with guys” he says and I can feel him melting in my hands. We end up watching a movie and cuddling on the couch all day.

I have been going to more and more morning practices since I have gotten my brace on. Mike works with me on the days he doesn’t have someone else or when he has the free time. It has been going good and I am improving more every day. Since it is February the guys are all on edge because of the trade deadline coming up. They are also on edge because of their captain’s health, Sid took another head shot in a game in January and has been out ever since. I wish I could reassure them but I am just as nervous to see any of them go as they are. I have come to love this team in the short time that I have been here and think of them like brothers to me.

I am in my office checking on emails and working on some stuff since I have been out when practice ends. I hear the guys out in the hall goofing off like usual before there is a knock on my door.

“Come in” I say as I send an email to my parents about my recovery.

“Hey, you got a minute to talk?” Sid says as he pokes his head in.

“What’s on your mind” I say

“I need your help” he says as he closes the door and sits down. “As you probably have noticed; I am not the best boyfriend.”

“And what makes you say that?”

“I haven’t done this before, at least not this serious. I need to show Sarah some way that I really do care for her and want her around. For twenty years I have had hockey as my main priority in my life and now I get this concussion and it has changed my perspective on everything. I have had a lot of time to just sit in a dark room and think about everything in my life. I realize that I down want to be alone anymore. I can’t stress about the little things in life that I can’t control and that through this entire process of this concussion Sarah has been there for me. Even in the worst of times she was there by my side when I couldn’t get out of bed, I was throwing up because of light, and even now I snap at her for things that she can’t control.”

“Well I know Geno and I are two different people but when we fight we always talk it out and try to never go to bed angry.” I say with a shrug “For you two I would say have a nice dinner together, talk about everything going on, and lay it all out there. It might be scary but from what I can tell she feels the same way you do”

“Really?” he asks

“Yeah, she is crazy about you even on your worst days” I say knowing it is true. “Back to the other subject, how is your concussion?” I ask

“Some days are better than others. Yesterday was horrible but today I can get out of bed and walk around. I am not sure if I will pay for it tomorrow or not, I just have to take it one step at a time.”

“Well I really hope you get better soon and get back out there” I say

“Thanks, it kills me to just sit around”

“You are not sitting around, you are giving your brain time to get better and if you push it, it will come back to kick you in the ass” I say

“I will keep that in mind, well since I can’t drive I caught a ride with Letang and I need to go before he leaves me. I will see you later Roxy” he says and leaves my office.

I am alone for about ten minutes before Geno walks through the door.

“Hey, what’s up?” I ask as he sits down in the chair across from me.

“Nothing, just wait until you done. How’s leg?”

“It is getting better every day, easier and easier to walk on and my sessions with Mike are going good”

“Good, Mike good. He get you back in no time”

“Yeah and I am already ahead of schedule” I say as I answer one last email. I am gathering my stuff and I can feel his eyes on me. “What?” I ask without even turning around.

“Ass look good in pants” he says and I can feel the blush move up my chest. I want to tease him a bit so I bend over really slow to pick up my purse and I get a groan in response. “How so sexy?” he asks as he stands up and walks over to me.

I turn around and look up at him through my eyelashes, “You make me feel sexy” I say and wrap my arms around his waist. “Let’s go home” I say and give him a wink.

We barely made it in the front door before he has me up against the wall and sucking on my neck.

“Bedroom now” I say in a pant and he carries me upstairs. He lays me down in the bed and strips me quickly. After he shimmies out of his pants and boxers I take all the energy I have and flip us over and I am on top. After kissing for a few seconds I take him in my hand and guide him into me.

“Fuck baby” he mutters “so tight”

“You feel so good” I say as I bounce up and down on him. “I love you”

“Close” he says and I nod my head. He then reaches down and thumb attaches to my clit.

“Oh! Yes!” I shout as I cum and I feel him follow soon after. I collapse on him as I come down from my high. “That was amazing” I say after I catch my breath.

“Da, amazing” he says back

“I love you so much”

“I love you too” he says as he rubs his hands up and down my back.

“Shower?” I ask and give him a smirk.

“Only if with you” he says and picks me up to walk into the bathroom.
