“Goose! Come here! I have a video to show you,” Niklas yelled from the kitchen a few days later. Goose laughed and zipped Alana’s little white dress before helping her put her cowboy boots on.

“Just a second Kronner! Lemme finish helping Alana,” he shot back. Alana was still frightened, but she was a lot calmer than when they had first brought her home. Picking up Alana, Goose settled her on his hip and made his way into the kitchen. Niklas was standing behind his favorite chair staring at his laptop, but looked up when the two of them came in. In just the few short days that he had known Alana, he had become her “favorite uncle”. Why that was Niklas still wasn’t sure but who was he to complain?

“Unca Nicky,” she squealed, reaching for him. Laughing, Niklas took her from his friend and settled her into his arms. She was a pretty girl there was no doubt about it. Adopted that she was, in Nicky’s mind she looked a little bit like Goose. Not that he would ever say that to his friend for fear of him thinking he had a child with another woman besides Elizabeth.

“Hi, pretty girl,” he said. Alana snuggled into him and Niklas smiled. Goose let out a whine and Niklas bit back a laugh.

“Oh come on Goose. You see her everyday!” Goose stuck out his tongue.

“Oh yeah I know Kronner. So what was it you wanted to show me,” he asked, raising his eyebrows. Niklas leaned over the laptop and pressed the play button on the video. Slowly, the familiar look of Joe Louis Arena came into the view. Elizabeth was sitting on the bench in her brother’s jersey, jeans, and a pair of red tennis shoes. She was staring up at the banners but turned to face the camera with a smile and started to sing.

Ohh ohh
Last years old news
I'm breaking out my six string
And playing from my heart
It's not deja vu
Cause it's another summer
That's how this chapter starts


The next shot showed her running up the stairs of Joe Louis with her friend.

I'm gonna run so fast 'til I can't breathe
Come along and follow me
Let's make some noise we never did before
It's a brand new day
(Don't you see me)
Changing on my way
(So completely)
This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it
This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit
It's a brand new day
And I'm feelin' good
And I'm feelin' good


It then showed her in the locker room sitting at Nicky’s locker laughing.

So drama free (so drama free)
I'm all about the music
I just wanna sing
Watch me live out my dreams
I'm gonna rock that stage and give my everything
I'm gonna dance until my feet can't move
Come along get in the groove
Let's shine so bright more than we did before


The next shot was her sitting on top of the net and Hank was skating fast with the puck around the rink.

It's a brand new day
(Don't you see me)
Changing on my way
(So completely)
This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it
This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit
It's a brand new day
And I'm feelin' good!


Then the shot went to her and her friend standing on the bench dancing.

(What you gonna do? What you gonna do?)
I'm gonna laugh through the summer with you
(Who you gonna be? Who you gonna be?)
You'll just have to watch me carefully
(Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?)
Anywhere my heart wants me to go
I'm gonna sing I'm gonna dance
I'm gonna ride I'm gonna play
I'm gonna try my game in everything
Cause It's a brand new day
(Don't you see me)
Changing on my way
(So completely)
This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it
This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit
It's a brand new day
It's a brand new day
(It's a brand new day)
Changing on my way
(Changing on my way)
This time I'm gonna sing and you're gonna hear it (gonna hear it)
This time I'm gonna show you that I got the spirit (got the spirit)
It's a brand new day
(It's a brand new day)
It's a brand new day
And I'm feelin' good
Feelin' good
And I'm feelin' good


Then the song ended, and Elizabeth slowly faded away into the distance. Goose was in shock. He knew his girlfriend loved singing, but he never realized how good she was at it. He had absolutely loved watching her smile as she sang. It made him happy just to see her happy again.

“Momma,” Alana said, pointing to the laptop screen with tears rolling down her cheeks. Both boys understood in a split second what Alana was trying to say: she thought that Elizabeth had left her forever.

“Don’t cry Lannie. Momma is still here,” Niklas said, bouncing her. Alana frowned.

“No, she gone,” she repeated, pointing at the screen again. She started to cry and Goose took her into his arms, sitting down and rocking her back and forth, wiping her tears.

“Honey momma isn’t gone forever. She just had to leave for a while,” he said. Alana cuddled into his shirt and closed her eyes.

“Momma coming back?” Goose nodded and Alana snuggled into him more, smiling a mile wide. Suddenly, Goose’s phone rang. Handing Alana to Niklas, he went into his room to take the call.

“Hello?”

“Goosie? It’s me, Izzy. I have some news.” Goose swallowed hard. Usually when someone said “I have some news” it meant bad things.

“Y-yeah? What is it?”

“It’s a miracle. I’m pregnant.”
