Tuukka Rask teaching your kid to skate

You were laying in bed, missing your husband, Tuukka Rask, when your 4 year old son, Lucas, jumped on your bed and curled up to you. "Skype with daddy?" He asked. You smiled at him, and reached for your computer. "Daddy!" Lucas yelled when he appeared on the screen. "I want to be just like you daddy," Lucas said, with excitement. After watching the game last night, Lucas had his heart set on being a goalie just like his daddy. "Yeah?" Tuukka said. "Yeah!" Lucas yelled and jumped with excitement. "Well when I come home, I'll show you how to skate," he promised. You smiled. "Mommy! Daddy's gonna show me how to skate!" Lucas yelled. "That's good," you said. A few nights later, your husband was home for the night and Lucas was jumping with joy. "Skating now!" He kept yelling. You and Tuukka took him to the rink. You watched from the bench on the side as your husband had his arms around your guys' son, and was teaching him how to move his feet. "I keep falling," Lucas pouted. "You'll get better," you heard Tuukka promise him. Lucas got up all on his own again, and started skating, but fell down again. "I'll never be like daddy," he pouted again. Tuukka kept motivating him, and telling him not to give up, and sure enough, less than an hour, Lucas was skating on his own and he was proud. "I'll race you," Lucas challenged, and you couldn't help but laugh. "Go!" He yelled, skating away. Tuukka skated slowly behind him. Lucas turned around to see how close he was. "Stop there! Watch me!" Lucas demanded as he skated backwards. "He's a natural!" Tuukka said to you, when he got closer. "He is your kid," you answered, kissing him, before he took off skating after Lucas.
