Augusts pov:

Being away for so long has been hard. I won't lie, I miss my friends, I miss the Blackhawks, I miss Hollie. I wish I could be there, and help her with all the things she can't do right now. Be there supporting her through her pregnancy. But I can't.

California has been a dream come true. The warm weather is perfect, and the beach is my favorite place
to be. The Rush has given me so many opportunities I never would have gotten with the Blackhawks. If I'm being completely honest, I don't want to go back to playing with Boston. Ever.

I've been looking for roommates, because living alone sucks. Fortunately, the two other newbies have the same issue. So we came to an agreement that we should all live together. And thats exactly what we did.

Zayne and JJ really could be my next Tapper, Wilder, and Jayce. Of course, I would never replace them, but I can't stay friendless just because I have them. Boston is my past. Oakland is my future.

Our house, is a four bedroom, two bathroom house. It's just us three, and we plan on keeping it that way.
Since moving in with them, I feel like we've created a different kind of bond. JJ moved from Santa Ana, California, to come play, while I of course, moved from Boston. Zayne has lived here is whole life.

My favorite part of the day, is listening to Hollie tell me all about what she's been doing. She officially moved out of the apartment, and in with her friends, and is preparing for the arrival of our son.

That, stresses me out. In less than two months, I'll have a child, and to say i'm terrified, would be an understatement. Hollie and I live three thousand miles away. Forty six hours.

Trying to raise a child like that, is less than ideal. I want to go back to Boston, when she's 38 weeks, so I can be there when he's born. But that's mid season and I can't just leave during that. But I can't leave Hollie alone like that. He's my responsibility just as much as he is hers.

For now, all I can hope is that things go according to plan. That Hollie stays healthy, and that our son is getting everything he needs.
