Summary
"No m'not," Shane said, somehow pressing his face even more into Ilya's body. "All I ever did was play hockey. Now, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I hope we have a baby soon."
The car went quiet at that. When Shane looked up, Ilya was looking out the window, jaw set.
"S' something wrong?" Shane asked. He ran his fingertips along the warm skin of Ilya's forearm.
Ilya turned back to face him, expression softened. Whatever pensiveness had taken hold of him was gone.
"No. Everything is perfect."
After sixteen seasons of professional hockey, Shane Hollander retires from the NHL in the interest of starting a family with his loving husband. It's maybe a little earlier than he would've liked, but with his thirty-five year old knees beginning to protest, it makes sense.
He's happy. He and Ilya have been working towards this for nearly a decade.
He's also terrified, wondering if this is the biggest mistake of his life, and thinking that maybe he should take it all back. But mostly, he's happy.

Summary
Someone asked Rozanov a question that June missed because of her wandering eye. She chastized herself. What was the point of a journalist who didn't actually take note of what was being said?
"Our strategy has been to focus on fundamentals. Without Hollander on the second line, it—oh, hi, Sonya."
June's ears perked up. Sonya? Rozanov leaned down behind the table as if he'd dropped something, and when he came back up, it was with a little girl June recognized as Sofia Hollander-Rozanov. Rozanov got her settled in his lap, kissed her cheek, and looked out to the room.
June's a small-time sports journalist at a small-time publication, frustrated with what she's assigned to cover. She's expecting another dry post-game press conference from Ilya Rozanov... and then something unexpected happens.

Summary
Shane thought about it, a lot more than he should've. And it showed. It showed in the way he'd begged Ilya to sell his Ducati the summer they got married. It showed in the number of times he'd had to calm his racing mind when Ilya took twenty minutes longer than expected at the grocery store.
It showed in his heaving breaths, now. He was sitting up in his bed, his husband sleeping peacefully next to him, and he felt like he was on the edge of a panic attack.
The plane didn't crash, and Ilya didn't die.
Shane still feels the aftershocks.

Summary
"I don't know, I only just noticed, I didn't—"
"We would've heard if it fell on the dock, right? The clunk?"
Shane's heart broke a little, because it meant Ilya had finally come to the same realization as him.
The crucifix was in the water.
Ilya’s chain breaks without him noticing. Shane comes to the rescue.

Summary
"I'm a professional athlete, of course I'm not going to treat my body 'normally'."
"So am I," Ilya reminds him, "and I don't do the things you do. That excuse might work on your mom or your friends, but it does not work with me."
"It's not an excuse, it's the truth."
Watching Shane do this to himself is a hell like no other. Ilya has no idea how to bring it up, but he doesn't have a choice.
He's fucking terrified.
