y/b/n: your baby's name

"i'll see you later darling." mathew said and kissed your lips, "and you too my little buddy." he tickled the baby boy's feet gently.

you and mathew's baby was 3 1/2 months old. sometimes you wondered where the time went. it felt like yesterday that he was just a day old.

mat was leaving for a game against the new jersey devils.

"i'll see you later mat. good luck baby." you smiled at him.

he waved one last time and went out the front door of the house.

"alright bud, now it's our turn to get ready." you said to your baby.

you and y/b/n were going to be surprising mathew at the game. he had no idea that you guys were going to be there. y/b/n had never been to an isles game before and mat always wanted him to come.

you were going with matt martin's wife sydney and their young daughter. y/b/n and her  were around the same age, so you were hanging out with sydney a lot which was totally fine because you loved syd.

you got y/b/n into his little isles jersey and you got your wag jean jacket on.

you heard a knock on your door. you opened the door to see sydney there.

"hey cara!" syd said excitedly and hugged you.

"hey syd. how are you doing?" you asked with a happy smile.

"i'm doing pretty well. you?" she asked.

you shrugged, "i'd say pretty good."

you loaded y/b/n into sydney's car and began to drive to the nassau coliseum.

"so mat has no idea?" sydney asked.

you shook your head, "he shouldn't. i gave no clues that i was going anywhere."

"nice job cara." sydney nodded with an impressed look.

you smiled, "it was hard, especially with taking a baby somewhere."

"yeah, i know. that's why i'm so impressed." sydney said.

you laughed.

soon enough, you were unloading the babies out of the car.

"mathew is going to be so happy." sydney smiled at you.

you smiled back and nodded, "he's wanted me to bring him since he was like first born." you chuckled.

you brought y/b/n down by the glass for warmups. you waited for mathew to come onto the ice. you knew that mathew would always surveyed his surroundings during warmups.

as soon as mathew stepped on the ice, your face was illuminated with a smile as you waited for him to notice that you were there.

you could tell when he spotted you and y/b/n because his eyes lit up. he immediately made a mad dash to where you were standing.

"cara! what the hell?" he exclaimed with a smile on his face.

"hey maty." you said with a wide grin, "look buddy, is that daddy?" you said to y/b/n.

"he's smiling." mathew said with a huge grin.

sure enough, this kid had one of the biggest smiles on his face when he saw mat. he was such a daddy's boy it was insane.

"i love you so much." mat said to both you and y/b/n.

"we love you too mathew." you smiled.

"i'm going to score a goal for you tonight bud okay." he said to y/b/n.

y/b/n giggled at his father.

the little barzal family took a quick pic together so they could remember y/b/n's first hockey game.

mathew did end up scoring the goal he promised for the little guy. you spotted leo komarov pick up the puck.

after the game, you, y/b/n, sydney, and her daughter all went down to the isles dressing room to wait for the boys to come out.

anthony beauvillier came out of the room and made a beeline to y/b/n, "oh my god, even more adorable than last time." he gushed, "hi, it's uncle tito."

y/b/n loved anthony a whole lot. behind you and mat, uncle tito had to be one of his favorite people ever.

anthony tickled his side. y/b/n began to giggle up at anthony. you smiled at the duo.

"liking tito must be in the family genetics" you thought to yourself jokingly.

"stealing my spotlight again, eh tito?" mathew asked with a chuckled.

anthony smiled and nodded.

you went over to mathew and gave him a kiss, "good game maty. i'm so proud of you."

"thank you cara." he said and kissed your head, "did y/b/n have fun?"

you nodded with a smile, "yes. he was really smiley and giggly tonight, but especially when you came to the glass." you said.

mathew went over to the carrier that y/b/n was in and pushed anthony out of the way slightly.

"hey!" anthony complained.

"my kid." mathew said with a laugh.

"hey buddy." mathew said with a smile and reached to hold his hand.

your baby's face was filled with a smile instantly.

mat chuckled and y/b/n began to giggle with him.

"i got this puck for you." mathew showed
y/b/n, "this is from the goal i scored for you at your first game."

mathew loved to talk to y/b/n even if he couldn't answer him.

y/b/n smiled up at his father like always.

mathew stood up and walked towards you. in the background, you saw anthony squirm right back to in front of the baby's carrier to give him more uncle tito attention.

"thank you for bringing him baby." mathew smiled and thanked you with a kiss.

"it's no problem." you said, "i hope you liked your surprise."

"oh i sure did. best one ever." mathew smiled and wrapped his arms around your waist.

you smiled up at him then peeked at y/b/n.

"i think we should have tito babysit more often." you said, "they like each other a lot."

"if it means we can go on more dates, then yes, we should have tito babysitting y/b/n." mathew chuckled.

you laughed and nodded.

"tito, can you babysit tonight?" mathew asked.
