    Summary

    "Aren't I so lucky," he said, tilting his head back to look up at Shane. "I have very sexy cougar as my husband."

    "We're the same age," Shane reminded him, thumb tracing Ilya's jaw.

    "Not true." Ilya shifted forward on his knees until he was settled between Shane's legs, his hands coming up to cup Shane's stomach. "For the next month, I have a sugar daddy."

    Shane laughed. “So now I’m some old man buying you gifts?”

    "Well,” Ilya said, pressing a kiss to the curve of Shane's stomach through his shirt. Then another. “You are old man. And you are giving me the most precious gift of all. So yes. Is accurate, I would say."

    5 times Ilya and their kids took care of Shane throughout his pregnancy, and 1 time they were reminded just how stubborn Shane Hollander can be.

    Summary

    There were many things about Shane's upbringing in Canada that Ilya found hard to understand. Like why he insisted on hiking into the brush to find the "perfect" marshmallow sticks for a bonfire. To Ilya, it seemed like a lot of unnecessary effort and a high risk of mosquito bites when they could just buy a pack of skewers and be done with it.

    But, like with everything that came with Shane Hollander, Ilya had learned to love it.

    And now here he was, years later, the one leading Shane and their kids through the woods behind the cottage on this warm summer evening.

    Or,

    Shane and Ilya take their kids on a weekend getaway to the cottage.

    Summary

    Shane had memorized every version of Ilya’s face over the years.

    He remembered the way his face broke open when he saw him on TV winning his first Stanley Cup. He remembered the way he turned away and face contorted as he tried not to cry in front of Shane for the first time at that All Stars weekend all these years ago now. He remembered the soft vulnerability in Ilya’s eyes the first time they’d managed to choke out I love you.

    But seeing Ilya hold their son for the first time was a look Shane didn't have a name for yet.

    Or,

    Shane and Ilya are about to become dads for the first time. They navigate the pregnancy, Ilya’s final season, and Shane’s first away game after their son is born.

    Summary

    Shane's eyes burned. "What if I hadn't noticed?"

    "But you did."

    "But what if I hadn't?"

    Ilya pulled Shane against his chest, wrapping his arms around him. "You would have. Because you are Shane Hollander. When Shane Hollander has goal—like goal to keep our baby safe—nothing gets past him." He pressed a kiss to Shane's temple. "Is blessing and curse, yes? But mostly blessing."

    Or,

    3 times Shane's hypervigilance caught something wrong with their kids before anyone else did, and 1 time Ilya had to confiscate his laptop.
