Summary
No, Shane thought, shaking his head. That wouldn’t happen. He was in the prime of his career. Even if he was pregnant, even if he had to take a year off from playing, he could come back. Other players sat out seasons with concussions, injuries. What made him any different?
With a newfound sense of determination and a bravery he didn’t quite feel, Shane opened the box and pulled out one of the tests. The instructions were simple enough: pee on the strip, wait ten minutes. One line for no, two lines for yes. Simple.
Terrifying.
Or: Shane and Ilya find out they're expecting.

Summary
It was starting to piss Shane off, actually; he felt like he and Ilya were being judged for—what? Doing what every other mated couple did? So many of his and Ilya’s teammates were mated and had a whole litter of kids, and no one said a word about it. Granted, those teammates usually weren’t mated to other hockey players, who were both about to play their first season together on the same team.
But even if they hadn’t planned it, he refused to feel bad for wanting to start a family with his mate.
“Are you even happy for me, at least?” he asked.
Or: Shane and Ilya deal with the fallout of their announcement. Their first hurdle? Dinner with Shane's parents.
