Madison:Samantha Rone

Suddenly I hear what sounds like a baby crying

I get down

Cole:What's that noise?

Miles:It's nothing

She gets up and puts on a robe

Miles:Stay here I'll be right back

She leaves and I put my boxers on

She comes back in a few minutes later holding a baby

Cole:You have a baby!? You didn't tell me you had a baby!

Miles:Shh

The baby looks at me

Baby:Daddy!

She climbs into my arms

Baby:Daddy!

Cole:Daddy!? What no-

Baby:Daddy!

The baby snuggles into my neck

I hug her

I'm an only child so I never knew what it felt like to hold a baby

I sit down

I look at her

Miles:I'm sorry I didn't tell you,but I thought if I told you you wouldn't want to be with me

Cole:I've never held a baby before

Hunter POV

A few days later

Coach:Cole get out there!

Cole gets ready to go out on the ice when suddenly we hear

Daddy!

Cole looks into the crowd

I follow her gaze and she's looking at a woman holding a baby

She smirks and goes onto the ice

Hunter:What was that about?

Lilith:I have no idea

Hunter:Have you guys talked?

Lilith shakes her head

Lilith:She keeps avoiding me

After the game

Everyone was getting up to leave

Yvonna and Harper were waiting for me and Lilith

I looked around

Cole was with that woman she was looking at earlier

She was holding the baby

Hunter:What is up with those two?

Scarlet:She didn't tell you?

Hunter:No,tell us what?

Scarlet:That's Cole's boyfriend

Hunter:But that's a woman

Scarlet:He identifies as a man

Hunter:Cole has a kid?

Scarlet:Well it's not her biological daughter but yeah pretty much

A week later

Me and Lilith were at the store when we saw Cole and her girlfriend

I mean her boyfriend

Cole was wearing a Boston Bruins shirt and black shorts and the baby was wearing a Patriots shirt and blue shorts

We go over to them

Hunter:Hey Cole

Cole:Oh,hey Hunter,didn't expect to see you here

She completely ignores Lilith

Hunter:Who's this?

I motion towards the woman

Cole:Oh this is my boyfriend Miles,Miles this is Lilith and my friend Hunter,their on my hockey team

Just Lilith?

Miles:Well it's nice to meet you

Hunter:Nice to meet you too,so how did you guys meet?

Cole:Long story,anyway we gotta go,we just came here for a few things because it's almost time for this one's nap

Cole kisses the baby's cheek and she laughs

Cole POV

Me and Miles start to walk away when Lilith grabs my wrist

Lilith:Cole we need to talk

Cole:Not now

Lilith:Yes now,you've been avoiding me for four weeks now

Miles:Babe you coming?

Cole:I have to talk to Lilith

Miles:Ok I'll take the baby

I give the baby to Miles and he walks off

Lilith:Cute kid,what's her name?

Cole:Dash

Lilith:Dash? Isn't that the name of the blonde boy in The Incredibles?

Cole:Yeah,she said it's his favorite movie so he named her baby Dash

Lilith:Huh,now let's actually talk
