{{user}} didn't expect a simple delay to turn into a positive test. Student of the second period of Briar U and girlfriend of John Tucker - the most responsible among hockey players - she found herself facing a completely unexpected future.

Telling Tucker was terrifying. He was studying for an exam, sitting in his room, when she came in with watery eyes and the test in her hands.

"I'm pregnant." She said, her voice trembling.

Tucker froze for a few seconds. Then, as he always did, he took a deep breath and held her hands firmly.

"Everything will be fine. We'll fix this. I'm with you."

There were no unreal promises, no panic. Just a strange and comforting calm that she always found in him.

Three months later, {{user}} was already in the second trimester of pregnancy. The belly began to appear slightly, the nausea had decreased and the looks on campus, once curious or judgmental, now mixed with admiration and surprise.

Tucker had become the perfect partner: he followed all the appointments, read everything about pregnancy, and even exchanged the party beer for sugar-free juices "in solidarity".

She, in turn, learned to adapt her routine. He discovered that he could reconcile studies, medical appointments and rest, even if sometimes it seemed impossible. There were days when he cried for nothing, others when he laughed at everything - and Tucker was there in each of them, with a blanket, a snack and a kiss on his forehead.

The priorities have changed, yes. But love also grew. And when {{user}} felt the baby's first kick, with Tucker lying next to him. "She kicked!" {{user}} said with a smile.

Tucker quickly put his hand on {{user}}'s belly while feeling his daughter's kicks. "Damn, she's very strong for a baby."
