Stay

"Knock knock" Marc said tapping on the door, Sidney chuckled and opened it "cooler of beer for us and juiceboxes for the kids" he said holding it up
"Perfect" Sidney said with a smile
"Towels, and sunscreen" Jessica said walking out of the room
"Kids?" Sidney asked looking around "Greyson! Addy!"
"Were ready daddy" Addison said walking out of the room she was sharing with her brother
"Alright that's everyone" Sidney said picking up Keegan.
"Umm we will meet you down there" Vero said grabbing Jessica's wrist. Jessica looked at her then to Sidney and Marc, she shrugged at her husband.
"Ok that's fine, we will see you down there" sidney said ignoring the awkwardness. Once the door shut Jessica turned to look at Vero.
"What's wrong?"
"I think I'm pregnant" she said biting her lip "I just don't want to tell Marc yet just incase I'm not" she said Jessica looked at her best friend confused "we've been having issues and I don't want him to get upset if I'm not so can I do it here?" She said pulling the box out of her bag.
"Oh umm, ya sure" she said, Vero turned and walked into the bathroom. "Vero what kind of problems?"
"Just arguing about the future"
"That doesn't sound like you guys" Jessica said sitting down on the couch
"I know but we've been trying for a baby since Stell was a year old" Vero said, Jessica sighed and a few minutes later vero walked out of the bathroom, Jessica stood up anxiously.
"well?"
"I'm pregnant" she said, Jessica smiled and hugged her best friend
"Congrats sweetie, wait aren't you happy?" She asked. Vero nodded then started to cry.
"I am but I don't know if Marc will be traded or where next season will lead us" she said, Jessica frowned.
"Don't think about that" Jessica said
"Easy for you to say, Sidney is staying with the pens, he is set. Marc isn't" Vero said sitting on the couch. Jessica sat down next to her and rubbed her back.
"No matter what, your family is getting bigger and you have each other, and really that's all that matters" Jessica said, Vero wiped her eyes "hormones" she added with a smile.
" I know it sucks" Vero said with a sniffle. "I will tell him tonight at dinner" she said, "please don't tell Sidney" she said
"I tell Sidney everything" Jessica said, Vero sighed "okay I won't say anything unless he asks" she said "Let's get down stairs" Vero nodded and they stood up. "It will be ok" she said with a smile, Vero smiled and touched her stomach
"I know" she said
Once they got to the Jambo House pool, they looked around before seeing Sidney and Marc laying on the chairs, Beers in hand. Stella, Greyson and Addison drinking juiceboxes, and Keegan between Sidney's legs. Jessica smiled at the sight.
"There you are" Sidney said as they walked up, Jessica smiled and leaned down to kiss him
"I forgot my phone upstairs so can you take Keegan so I can go get it? I want to take pictures" he said, Jessica nodded and picked up the baby. Sidney stood up and kissed her again before she sat down.
He walked into the hotel and headed to the room, sure enough his phone was laying on the bed. He picked it up and walked to the bathroom. He glanced at the counter and his eyes widened. The positive pregnancy test sat on top of the box
"What the hell" he said, he sighed frustratedly and walked out. He stormed to the pool and stopped when he saw Jessica with a beer in her hand. He didn't want to call her out in front of people and make a scene, so he quietly sat down on the chair completely pale "should you be drinking?"
"Well you didn't mind me drinking the other night" she said with a smile and a wink, Sidney stared at her and she suddenly got confused "I've pumped enough until we get back unless my boobs start to hurt too much" she added, sidney looked at the pool where Marc and Vero were playing with the kids. Sidney looked back at her
"Jess why didn't you tell me?" He asked
"Tell you what?"
"Are you kidding me right now?" He said taking the beer from her
"Sidney what's wrong?" She asked sitting up
"I saw the test! You left it in the bathroom! Your pregnant again!? I mean when were you going to tell me? I had to find it myself" He said, Jessica's eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh" she said, Sidney shook his head "baby that's not mine" she said, Sidney looked at her. "It's Vero's, she took it before we came out" she said, Sidney looked at her confused
"So your not pregnant?" He asked
"No you goof! I would have told you right away" she said with a smile, Sidney took in a deep breath "But please don't say anything, she wants to tell him tonight, and I said I wouldn't say anything" she said, he put his head in his hands and chuckled
"Your not pregnant?" He asked again
"No" she said running her fingers through his hair "I would have told you" she said again, he nodded
"Oh thank gosh" he said, Jessica smiled and kissed him
"Can I have my beer back now?" She asked
"You can have all the beer you want now" he said, she chuckled
"Come on, let's go to the water" she said taking his hand, they stood up and Sidney watched her take her sundress off. He smiled when she turned around.
"You don't even look like you delivered babies recently or let alone ever" he said pulling her to him
"Thanks to your eating habits" she said, he kissed her again and took her hand to walk to the water.

That night at Sanaa the kids snacked on naan bread, while the adults drank adult beverages and waited for their food to arrive
"You sure you don't want to drink?" Marc asked looked at Vero's water
"No I'm good for now" she said with a smile, Marc nodded and looked at Sidney who was leaning back in his chair with a sleeping Keegan in one arm and his other arm resting on the back of Jessica chair
"So if we don't make it to the playoffs or past round one, you gonna go over at play at worlds?" He asked. Sidney looked at him then to Jessica, she looked at him.
"Haven't thought much about it or discussed it with anyone, I mean I would love to play but I would want my family there, that's a month gone and I was away enough for the Olympics" he said with a shrug
"I don't think canada needs a goalie" Marc said with a shrug
"They always do" Sidney said, Marc chuckled
"No they need you" he said
"Nah"
"You could be the 8th Canadian to have the triple" he said
"True, I don't know I guess we will see what happens" he said looking down at his son. Jessica looked at Vero who was looking at her empty bread plate. She kicked her lightly and she looked up. Jessica raised her eyebrow and Vero looked at Marc.
"Marc" she said, Marc looked at her. "I'm pregnant" she said, Marc stared at her before sitting up, Sidney smiled.
"What?" He asked, she nodded
"I took a test today" she said with a smile "I wanted to wait till dinner to tell you" she said
"Oh my gosh!!! Yes!" He said, Vero chuckled and hugged him "baby this is awesome" he said, Sidney looked at Jessica and smiled.
"And thanks to you Vero I got mad a Jessica when I saw her drinking at the pool" Sidney said, Marc and Vero looked at him confused while Jessica chuckled.
"Why?" Marc asked
"Because your wife took the test in our bathroom and left it there! I found it and thought it was Jessica's and she didn't tell me" he said, everyone laughed as Vero gasped
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry" she said
"It's ok" Jessica said with a smile, Vero hid her face in her hands.
"Excuse me" they heard, they turned to a kid about 8 years old "can I have your autographs please I'm a big pens fan" he said, Sidney and Marc smiled as he handed Sidney the Disney autograph book
"What's your name bud" Sidney asked, Jessica took Keegan as Sidney sat up more in his chair
"Bobby"
"Well bobby it's nice to meet you, are you from Pittsburgh?" He asked
"No sir I'm from Tampa" he said, Sidney chuckled and handed him back the book "but I go watch you play when you play in florida" bobby added handing Marc the book.
"Are you having a good time?" Marc asked
"Yes sir my family comes every month for a weekend, we love it here"
"I can see why" Marc said handing him the book
"Do you want a picture?" Vero asked
"Please?"
"Guys stand up" Vero said, once Sidney and Marc stood more people from the restaurant started to stare and notice them. They sat back down and Jessica looked around.
"Daddy who was that" Addison asked
"Just a fan"
"Fan?" Stella asked
"Ya remember daddy and uncle Sidney have fans that like to take pictures with them and sign things" Vero said "and sometimes people want to meet you guys too"
"Oh" Stella said, they looked up as the food was brought out. Sidney looked at Jessica and smiled.
"Perfect" Sidney said with a smile
"Towels, and sunscreen" Jessica said walking out of the room
