First Day of My Life - PG-13 - Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin
Title:First Day of My Life
Fandom: Hockey RPF
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin
Summary:The first girl Sid ever falls in love with is named Rachel Forbes. When he first meets her, she’s four weeks old, pink, and squishy-looking. Objectively, she’s kind of ugly, but she’s so tiny when he sees her in the incubator at NICU, and he’s never seen a baby that small.
Notes:I feel like everyone I have ever talked to has agreed that what fandom needed was a ridiculously id-tastic Sid and Geno have a baby fic, and yet strangely enough no one would write it. It was a conundrum that haunted me until I was about a quarter of the way through this and realized I was writing it. Then I hated myself a little. So here, this is as close to id!fic as I get. I'm not even going to apologize or claim great literary merit here. Sometimes you just need babies, you know? Babies, man.
Thanks go to my eternal cheerleaders novembersmith and duchessofavalon, as well as the intrepid beta work of twsomething, missmollyetc, and my BFF who isn't even in this fandom but really enjoys correcting my grammar. Also thanks to my parents, who were in no way involved in this, I just want to thank them for not murdering me, since I was a way worse baby than Rachel and also a twin. But most of all, thanks go to thefourthvine, who let me borrow copiously from her own baby stories, helped me keep Rachel realistic, and informed me in explicit detail about how terrible parenting is (while making it sound super great and rewarding).
