    Summary

    Summary

    “I’m telling you, Shane,” Ilya says. “I take birthdays very seriously.”

    Shane lets out a dignified snort. “Sure.”

    “And I take your birthday the most seriously. It is my job as your boyfriend, yeah?”

    Shane’s heart squeezes in his chest. “Yeah, okay.”

    Ilya smiles, his eyes softening. “Moy lyubimiyy,” he murmurs. “I am going to celebrate you the way you deserve.”

    Shane is used to being told he’s impossible to buy a birthday present for. It’s not exactly fun to be reminded of this fact about himself year after year, but he’s come to accept that it’s probably his own fault. After all, what do you give a man who has zero interests outside hockey and keeps his cards close to his chest?

    Turns out, his boyfriend might have a few ideas.

    (Or, Shane celebrates his birthday with Ilya for the first time since they started dating, and Ilya proves he’s the indisputable king of giving gifts.)

    Summary

    “I don’t know Hayd, he’s been really nice to me,” he shrugs, “We have stuff in common, it’s always fun to hang with him, and he even does my econ assignments without me asking, which I still think is over the top but–”

    Summary

    Shane looked down at Anya. She was very still and calm—Just resting her head there. Like she belonged there. Like she was guarding something.
    Something important.

    A tiny, fragile realization settled into Shane's mind. "She knows," he murmured.

    Ilya frowned. "What?"

    Shane swallowed. "I think she knows."

    Ilya stepped closer, confusion giving way to curiosity. "Knows what?"

    Shane hesitated before placing one hand lightly over the spot where Anya's head rested. Over his stomach. Over the place where— Something, someone, was beginning.

    His voice softened. "I think she can tell there's a baby."

     

    Or Anya is Shane’s Rock throughout his pregnancy and absolutely adores their baby once she arrives.
