Stay
17.
Once they got home Sidney quietly hobbled his way upstairs to his room. Jessica sighed
"Is daddy ok" Addison asked, Jessica looked down
"He will be fine sweetie, take Greyson to the play room, I will call you when dinner is ready" she said, Addison nodded and grabbed her brothers hand.
"So what did the doctors say" Troy asked
"I'm going to need to do a few days of physical therapy but I should be playing in a few weeks. I have to start seeing a chiropractor tomorrow, he referred me to one and said I should go twice a week"
"Twice a week? That's a little much" Troy said
"I know but I think I will do one day of chiropractor and a day of physical therapy"
"That sounds better, how is Jessica"
"Fine" Sidney said
"Fine huh? What's goin on"
"Nothing"
"Oh please son, you sound pissed off at the world" Troy said, Sidney sighed
"I just want to play hockey"
"Suck it up Sidney, your out. Let it go, do what you have to do and get back out there. Don't be a dick to your wife, she didnt hurt you so don't take it out on her. She's stressed enough she doesn't need you adding to it, remember you knocked her up" he said
"I know dad" Sidney snapped
"I think you got her hormones. Stop being an ass. Tell her we said hello. Goodbye" Troy said, Sidney hung up and put his phone down. He could hear the sounds of plates downstairs and stood up, when he got down stairs he saw his family at the table eating quietly, was this how it was when he wasn't home, his heart broke.
"Is dinner ready" he asked, Jessica turned around
"Yes, I made you a plate but I didn't want to bother you" she said quietly. She stood up to help him, he looked at her stomach and saw the stress on her face, he could also tell she had been crying. As she walked past him he grabbed her hand
"I'm sorry I've been such an asshole" he said, she looked up at him and nodded
"It's ok" she said turning, he stopped her again
"No it's not ok, I've been taking all of this out on you and the kids and it's not your fault" he said, his eyes filled with tears as he pinched the bridge of his nose, she took a deep breath
"Please just eat dinner, your already injured....I need you healthy at least" she said walking away. Sidney walked to the table and sat down
"How's dance been going" He asked, Addison looked at him
"It's ok" she said, Sidney frowned. His daughter was always wanting to talk
"Just ok" he asked, she nodded and played with her food
"Addy don't play with your food please"
"May I be excused" she asked softly
"Yes, Greyson are you done"
"Yuh" he said. Addison grabbed their plates and walked to the sink. She climbed on the step stool and placed them in the sink
"Come on Grey" she said
"She's mad at me too" Sidney asked
"Probably, you were rude to her this morning and she is not use to that" Jessica said honestly. Sidney sighed and sat back. After Jessica finished she cleaned the kitchen leaving Sidney alone. She got the kids ready for bed, before getting herself ready. She went to bed alone and without saying goodnight.
After watching a few hockey highlights Sidney realized the house was quiet, too quiet. He made his way upstairs and looked into his sons room, he was asleep. He walked to his daughters room where she was asleep. He sighed and walked to his room, he quietly opened the door. She was asleep, she left a bedside light on so he wouldn't hurt himself hobbling around. Even when they argued she still thought of him.
She was beyond perfect, too good for him. She could have had anyone but she choose him. She gave him the perfect life, and he was treating her like shit...again. He changed and replaced his knee brace with a stiffer brace. He climbed into bed and stared at her. Her chest moved up and down with her breathing and her hand was placed protectively over her baby bump.
"I love you so much" Sidney said, a few tears rolled down his cheek, how could he be so horrible to her. She opened her eyes and looked at him
"I love you too" she said, his eyes met hers
"I am so sorry" he said
"I know"
"I've taken all of this out on you and you don't deserve it. It's not your fault I'm hurt, it's not your fault I'm being a dick" he said, she looked at him "I've been a horrible best friend, a horrible husband and a horrible dad" he added "I don't deserve you or the life you have given me"
"Don't say that"
"It's true, you deserve so much better"
"If I thought that, I wouldn't be here. Obviously I have found the best" she said
"How can you think that with how I've treated you"
"Cause you are in a Sidney crosby funk, you will get out of it" she said, he smiled and rubbed her face lightly "and cause you are crying, you never cry unless you legit feel bad" she said, he nodded
"Im going to try my hardest to be ok, you, Addison, Greyson and the twins are my life and without you I would be lost, y'all do not deserve the asshole Sidney Crosby"
"We will get you on the ice soon" she said, he nodded and moved her closer to him "it will be ok Sidney, we are here for you"
"I know" he said kissing her. She could tell he had talked to Troy so made a mental note to thank him. No matter, Sidney was her husband and she would stick by him, asshole crosby or not he was her Sidney.
"Is daddy ok" Addison asked, Jessica looked down
"He will be fine sweetie, take Greyson to the play room, I will call you when dinner is ready" she said, Addison nodded and grabbed her brothers hand.
