Jamie was on the last long away stretch of games and you were about ready to pop.

"I'll be home soon, then we'll get to meet the baby." He reassured you on the phone. Jamie was going to be gone about a week and your due date was 10 days away. Having a baby with an NHL player was like gambling. Would they be there? Would they be across the country?

"Okay, I love you Jamie. I'll talk to you in the morning."

"I love you too." You hung up the phone and started to get ready for bed. Then your water broke.

"Awesome." You said to yourself, calling back your husband.

"Is everything okay?" He answered.

"You might want to come home, my water just broke." 

"Let me talk to the coaches, get yourself to the hospital."

You called one of the other wives that lived close to you. She had been through this before and had been a big help.

"I'm so excited for you." She helped you with the hospital bag and you were on your way to the hospital. "Is Jamie heading back?"

"Yeah, they're figuring out the logistics. He's freaking out."

"Hopefully you have a long labor and it's relatively early so he can get here in time."

"That is the best and worst thing you've wished for me." You laughed as the first contraction started. "Oh, oh, oh. This really sucks. I want Jamie."

"Just breathe. It's going to be a few hours before he gets here."

The hours went by slowly until Jamie made it back to Dallas. Thirty minutes after he got to your room, you were holding a beautiful little girl. 

"I'm so glad I made it." He kissed your forehead. "I love you so much."
