Will it be you?- Chapter 23

I pull up the long driveway of the Lemieux home.
Turning my car as little, I park besides Sidney's range rover as Colby comes and parks beside me on Sid's side.

"Your home," I say laughing as I emerge from the car with myself smiling.
Then I close my door as I seen Sidney coming out of the car before Colby does.

"So are we leaving right now?" I ask as Sid walks over to me.

"Nah, I'm going to see if the kids wanna come,"Sidney says as he kisses my forehead as he runs to the door.

"Where is he going?"LC asks as her and Colby approach me.

"Going to get the kids to come along," I say.

"This is going to interesting," Colby says.
I smile.
I am used to kids any age, so I dont have a problam with them coming at all.
They all are really nice kids, Mario and Nathalie have raised them right.

As a few minutes pass, I watch Sidney coming out with Alexa holding his hand.

"Ready?" Sid asks.

"Yep," I say as we walk in a group heading to the park.

"So how are you today Alexa?" LC asks.

"Good, school was ok. Was yours ok?" Alexa asks.

"Yes, I had a great day," LC says.

"Did you too Aaylah?" Alexa asks.

"Yep I sure did,"I say.

"So what do you want to be when we get to the park Lexa?" Sid asks.

"Going on the swings," Alexa says.

"alright, lets look both ways,"Sid says as we stop at the side of the road.

"Is it good Alexa?" Sid asks.

"Yes,"
We then head across the street and walk on the sidewalk.

"So you going to watch the game tonight Lexa?"Sid asks.

"Yes, you are playing,"
i smile, she really supports Sidney.

the more we walked, the more closer we became.
As a couple minutes pass, I see the big jungle gym coming up.

"Can i go sid?"Alexa asks.

"Yep, stay where I can see you," sidney says as he let go of her hand as she when running.

"She's too cute,"colby says.

"yeah, i gotta get her," sid says as he goes running after her, leaving me with Colby and LC.

"He's going to make a great father someday," Lc says.

"yeah he will be," Colby says.

I watch sidney grabbing Alexa into the air.
He will make a good father expectally to a little girl.
She would be so spoiled with him as her dad.

We walk down the path as we reach the playground.
Sidney is pushing Alexa on the swings

"I'm going to go and hang out with Sid for a bit," I say.

"alright, we'll be on the jungle gym,"
Walking over to the swings, Sid hald a swing out for me as I smile heading over to him.
Sitting down in the swing, he begins to push me.

"Aaylah and Sidney sitting in a tree KISSING,"Alexa sings.

"Lexa, stop. Did your sisters teach you that? they are evil," sid says as he pushes my back to get me going.

"They are funny, Sidney can you push me higher then Aaylah?"

"sure,"sid says with a evil grin on his face.
I then begin to swing as hard as i can as Alexa soon caught up to me.
Sidney is being evil to me today.

"Your not winning," I say as I move faster as I see Colby and LC playing on the slides.
They are such a cute couple.
My legs began to hurt, so I stop moving my legs and let the swing slowly stop.

"You win Alexa,"I say as I use my feet to stop on the gravel under the swing.

"Want to go play on the playground?"Sid asks, Alexa.

"Yeah, can we play tag?"Alexa asks.

"Yep," Sidney says.

"Yay!"
Then Sidney grabs the swing as he slows it to a stop as Alexa gets off and heads to the playground as me and Sid follow her.

"How are we going to play tag on the playground? We ar tall,expectally Army," I say, smiling

"You'll see,"Sidney says with a smile on his face as we walk onto the grounds that the jungle gym was on.

"Hey Colby,LC you wanna play tag?"Sid asks as they came down the slide.

"Sure we'll play, who is it first?"Colby says as I move my eyes on Alexa on the money bars.

"Alexa can't be, so one of us,"Sid says.

"I don't wanna be," I say as I step away.

"Fine, I'll be it first," Sid says.

"Alright," We agree on.

"Alexa come on, we are about to begin and you need to know who is it,"Sid says as I watch her fall from the bars and runs over to us.

"So whoever is it, will give you all 10 seconds to start running,"Sid says.

"Alright, whos it Sidney?"LC asks.

"I am and I'm about to count, 1,2,"Sid began to say as I ran up onto the castle like tower as I wanted to actually hide from him.

"Here I come,"I hear Sid say as i watch him coming my way, so I jump off and onto a brigde to where colby was.

"Tag your it LC,"Sid says.
I turn around as LC came running.
Jumping off the jungle gym, i head to the beginning as I hear " your it Alexa,"
Heading onto the jungle gym again, I run to where Sidney is.

"Where is she?" I ask.

"I don't know," sidney says as i move carefully as I feel a tag.

"Your it Aaylah,"
I've been tagged.

"Your gonna get it Crosby!!" I exclaim as I run after him cause I know he planned Alexas tag on me.
As he jumps, I do to as a fall, I hit the ground as I head for Sidney which is running around.
Soon as i get close to him, I grab him and pull him to the ground.

"Your it Crosby," I say as I get up quickly as I run back to hear sidney right on my tail.
As I reach the playground, I feel him wrap his arms around me.

"Your it," he whispers as he runs off.

"Dang it!" I yell as I head for the one person who hasnt been it, Army.
As I walk around, i see his leg out, so I jump up and hit him.

"Your it Armstrong," I say as I go running.

15 minutes later

"We're done," Sidney says as he was wiped out from the tag game.

"Yeah, what time is it?" Colby asks.

I watch as Sid looks at his watch.

"5:03, oh wow we better head back to the house to change, and Army you better get to your house to change," Sidney says.

"It's dinner time," Alexa says as she grabs Sidneys hand as we begin to head back.

"Yeah, what time are we suppose to be there?"Army asks.

"6:45 at the latest," Sid says as I walk beside him.

"Alright, then I have enough time to change,"

"Stay here with me baby, you are going to get sweaty either way,"LC says.

"Alright, I'll stay, so are we all piling into the car to the game or 2 different ones?" Colby asks.

"If you can take us back here, then you can pile into your car. Thats fine," Sidney says.

"Alright, since I'm coming back here anyways, I can do that,"

"alright,"

4 more minutes of walking, we cross the road to walk into the Lemieux driveway as Mario is outside about to get in his car.

"Hey,"Mario says as we greets up.

"Daddy,"Alexa says as she runs over to him.

"Hi princess, how was the park with Sid and Colby?"

"Fun, I had fun,"

"Good, you ready for some dinner?"

"Yes,"

"Go get in the car,"
I smile as I watch Alexa walk into the garage to the car.

"Thanks for taking her to the park guys. She will sleep well tonight. I will see you later on. Go get them tonight Sidney,"
Smiling again, this time for sid.

"Thank you. Have a good dinner,"Sid says.

"Alright, see you later,"
Mario walks off as we all head to the front door, as Sid opens it.
I follow him in as we head to his wing.

"Oh can you get me on your Email Sid?"I ask as he opens the door to his wing.

"Oh yeah, follow me,"Sid says as we walk in and head striaght back to his room.
As I follow him, he pulls out a laptop as he sets it on the bed.

"It should load in a bit, I can't wait to see when your first game is,"Sid says as he smiles at me as he logs into his computer then his email.
I get beside him as he scrolls through.

"I got a few from my younger sister, Taylor. Hmm let me read this one real quick. It's from my mom,"Sid says.

"Go ahead, thats fine," I say.
I watch as he opens the Email, which i turn my head a little bit cause i didnt want to inved his privacy.

"My parents and sister are coming in next week," sid says.

"Aww," I say.
Sidney wraps his arms around me, knowing I might be crying.

"It's alright babe,"
I let a tear roll down my face.
Sidney has both of his parents and a sister and I have no one but my dump cousin in Columbus.
A few minutes in his arms, I am alright as I sit up.

"Let's see my schedule now, "I say.
I know me making it on a hockey team, my parents are smiling down on me.

"Ok babe,"
I watch as he clicks on a email as it pops up, my schedule.
My first game is this Saturday 4 o'clock at Southpointe rink.

"Babe, I'll be at your first game. I'm off that day,"Sidney says as I hug him.
Im so thankful to have him in my life.

"Alright, so are you changing?" I ask him as he was wearing one of his shirts and jeans.

"Nah, I'll get sweaty all over again tonight but, I might take a shower now and change. Yeah Ill do that,"
I laugh as Sid walks over to his drawer as he gets his clothes.
Then he walks over to me.

"I'll be out in a few, you can use my room to change,"Sidney says.

"Ok,"I say as he walks out and closes the door behide him.

Walking over to my bag, I pick it up as I head back over to the bed as I put the bag there.
As I open the bag, I pull out a pair of jeans and my jersey that Vette gave me.
Smiling, I change from my older jeans and sweater into my new jeans and jersey.
Putting my dirty clothes into the bag, I zip it back up and grab it in my hand as i open the door.
I see LC sitting with Colby on the couch.

"Where are you going?" LC asks.

"Going to put my bag in my car, all i have in it is dirty clothe," I say.

"No they are clean," I hear Sidney say.
Sitting my bag down, I open it up to reveal that he was right.

"Thanks sidney," I say.

"Your welcome,"
Then a door shuts as I turn around to see that it wasn't his room door as I pick the bag up and head back to his room and set it down in the same place as I head up front.

"My first pratice is tomorrow morning at 7:30 at Southpointe," I say as I sit on the couch.

"Who is taking me to school tomorrow?"LC asks.

"I'll ask Vette to take you when we see her tonight and I'll pick up you from school around 1,"

"When's your first game?" Colby asks.

"Saturday at 4,"

"I can come to see you play,"

"Yeah your off that day," I say.

"Yep, maybe we can get some player to come too," Colby says.

"Not the first game Colby," I say.

"Ok, I understand,"
As we sit there, I hear the door open as I lean back to reveal Sidney in some jeans and a penguins sweater on.

"I'll be up in a minute," Sidney says as I stand up from off the chair.

"Ready for the game?" Colby asks us.

"Yeah," LC and myself say as I see Sidney coming out.

"I'm ready," Sidney says.

"Let's get moving then," LC says as I walk over to the door as I walk out first.

"You two tried from earlier?" LC asks as we walk from Sidneys wing to the front door.

"Nah, we'll be fine," Sidney says as I open the front door.
Going down the steps, I wait for Sid as we let Colby get head of us.

"Whats seating arrangements?" Sidney asks.

"Doesn't matter to me," Colby says.

"We'll sit in backseat," LC says as she looks at me.

"Alright," colby says as we arrive to his car.

"Which side Aalyah?"Lc asks.
Since i wanted to Sid.

"Left," I say.

"ok,"

Walking behide Colby, I open my door as i get into the car.
Getting settled in, I buckle up as everyone else does the same.

"Everyone buckled?" Colby asks as he begins the car up

"Yes," LC says as Colby slowly backs out and heads to the driveway end as he turns right to the Mellon Arena.
