"AND ARTEMI PANARIN SCORES THE GAME-WINNING GOAL AND HE HAS WON CHICAGO THE STANLEY CUP FOR THE 2ND CONSECUTIVE YEAR!" The announcer boomed through the United Center's speakers, making me, Priya (Jonathan's fiancé), and Y/B/F/N (Teuvo's girlfriend) stand up and cheer.

I hugged the both of them despite the 9-month bump causing some trouble. However, both of them immediately pulled away, looking down at the floor.

"Oh crap, I'll call Johnny, Teuvo, and Artemi. Can you wait for me for about 5 minutes?" Priya grabbed her iPhone from her pocket, dialing Jonathan's number.

Y/B/F/N and I nodded, letting sit down for a few minutes.

Priya pressed the phone to her ear, "Hey babe, can you put Artemi on the phone for me, please?"

"Sure, but why?"

"It's an emergency, Jon... I need to speak with him NOW."

"Zdravstvuyte?" (Hello?) Artemi got the phone from Jon, speaking in Russian before she replied back.

"Артемий, вы можете, Джонатан, и Teuvo встретиться с нами в больнице в течение 5 минут?" (Artemi, can you, Jonathan, and Teuvo meet us at the hospital in about 5 minutes?)

"Dang, I never knew that she could speak Russian..." Y/B/F/N muttered, trying to calm me down.

Priya put the call on speaker, letting him continue. "Конечно, но почему?" (Sure, but why?)

"I don't know, maybe your wife is going to have a little Panarin soon!?" I shouted from hormones, biting my lip.

"Oh crap... Jonathan! Put cup down and get Teuvo. We get to hospital fast!" Artemi shouted in the background before he replied. "We'll meet you guys there!"

Artemi hung up the call, letting us get to the hospital quick.

"It's about time, you got here!" I gritted my teeth, looking up at Artemi.

"Sorry, busy traffic way here..." Artemi walked inside the room and sat down on the chair next to me.

"Well Mrs. Panarin, you can start to push now." The doctor smiled letting me sigh.

"Come in!" I weakly answered to the knock at the door, letting the entire Blackhawks team enter the room while holding the baby girl in my arms.

"Congrats on your new addition, Y/N and Artemi!" Niklas left a balloon by the table and setting the Stanley Cup down on the floor.

"How did you find out?" Artemi looked at me before I looked at Jonathan.

"Hey, it was captain's honors! Besides, I thought that this little cutie here would like to be a part of the festivities." Jonathan lightly pinched the baby's cheek. "What is her name, by the way?"

"Well, Artemi and I decided on Aleksandra Alina Panarin..." I smiled before handing her to Artemi.

"How about we take a picture of Aleksandra, Artemi and you with Aleks in the Cup?"

Jonathan and Patrick carefully placed the Stanley Cup between Artemi and I, before gently putting Aleks in it. They took a few pictures before they mingled for a while and eventually left.

"Thank you for greatest gift ever. This is bigger than winning Cup. Ya lyublyu tebya." Artemi smiled, kissing me on the lips before kissing Aleks on the forehead.

"We love you too, Artemi. Never forget that."
