Daddy Stone is actually funny.

You want kicked off this thread?
Hayes
Just messing with you. Seriously, though, congratulations, captain, and tell Savi she did good.
Kane
We’re happy for you, Stone. Future Bolt right there.
McCormick
Congratulations, Stone.
Foxx
Happy for you, Stone. Tell Savi she’s the real MVP tonight.
The texts come through faster than I can type.
Me
Congratulations, Stone. Really happy for you and Savi. Scar’s going to be so excited when I tell her he’s here.
Stone
Thanks, guys. I’ll pass everything along to Savi.
Stone
I heard the Vipers left with a loss. Congrats on your game-winning goal, McCormick. Blade…a shutout? You killed it tonight.
McCormick
Thanks
I quickly respond as Luna puts away her phone.
Me
Sent their goalie home with a loss just like I said I would.
Me
Need anything at the hospital? I could drop some things off for you on my way home.
Stone
Thanks, but we’re good. Our overnight hospital bags have been packed and ready in the car for weeks now, and Savi’s brothers took care of dinner. I already sent everyone home so my wife could rest. Talk with you guys tomorrow.
I read his last text and put my phone away.
“Doesn’t look like Knox and Savi need anything tonight,” I say, starting my car and putting it in reverse.
“Sophia said the same thing,” she nods, looking out the window, deep in thought. “What was Scarlett’s birth like? Were you scared?” She asks quietly, breaking the silence.
