Shane (Captain of the Ottawa Centaurs) has a one night stand during the single time he feels low enough to get drunk during the season. He ends up pregnant but doesnāt remember jackshit about the guy so heās just sort of on his own. Heās in his mid thirties and decides to hell with it, heās having this baby.
Early 20s Ilya Rozanov is traded to Ottawa just as Shane is announced as being out on LTIR for at least the rest of the season. Shane still comes around the rink to be with the team and meets Ilya and, to his embarrassment, is crushing on his younger teammate.
Ilya is obsessed with Shane as both a player he admires, but also Shane is so very pretty; but with the baby bump? Ilya wasnāt aware he couple pop a boner while simply watching someone drink a pregnancy safe protein shake. He learns a new kink every time heās in Shaneās presence.
Fast forward through relationship drama, and Ilya convincing Shane he wants to be with him and help him raise the baby, and Shane is ready to pop at this point. He goes down to take a nap and Ilya decides to cook something light for dinner. An hour later Shane waddles into the kitchen at break neck speed and spins Ilya around, pointing his finger at him.
āWhat was me??ā Ilya asks, bewildered.
ā9 months ago, I got drunk in Boston and hooked up with some random guy. All I remembered was we were both wasted. I just remembered something else,ā Shane says before he plucks at Ilyaās necklace, shaking it slightly. āHe was wearing a gold cross!ā
Ilya blinks at Shane, stunned, before he remembers that 9 months ago he was in Boston and in a bad place; his (now diagnosed) depression was really bad and there were a few weeks where he spent the majority of his time getting drunk and fucking anyone who wanted him.
āOh,ā Ilya states, dumbfounded.
Shane hits Ilya lightly on the chest, glaring at him, before he crosses his arms. āYou got me knocked up, asshole! What do you have to say for yourself?ā
And Ilya already loved their baby. Because it was their baby, even when some other man was the one that got Shane pregnant. That baby was going to be his regardless.
Ilya gets so turned on by the fact that he was the one that bred The Shane Hollander that he has Shane lying on his side on his bed as he rings him dry through multiple orgasms and the endurance of a man who has gone feral over his partnerās pregnancy belly.
(Which is very funny because Shane goes into labor only a couple hours after theyāre done and Shane 100% blames Ilya for this.)
