Summary
The best way to describe this work, I think, is as a novelization of the television series told from Ilya Rozanov's point of view. What happens in the series will happen, more or less, in this work.
Please note, I did read both Heated Rivalry and The Long Game by Rachel Reid, but that was some time ago and my recollection of them is spotty at best. Because they are novels and this is a written story, I did NOT consult the books in order to reduce the chance that I would inadvertently plagiarize them. That means that where the television series leaves a gap in the narrative, I may fill it with something very different than what happens in the books. We will all end up at the cottage, but some of us are taking a slightly different path to get there.
This novelization means that potentially triggering things that happen in the series (like mental health issues) will happen in this work. NOTE, HOWEVER, no new issues will be added in this work. No one dies. No one is outed. No one is assaulted. This is just the story of the show as if it were from Ilya's point of view.

Summary
Shane says he’s fine. He always does.
Ilya doesn’t believe him.
When the early signs of pregnancy start showing up — the nausea, the fatigue, the little tremors Shane refuses to acknowledge — Ilya notices everything. He notices the way Shane pushes through practice, brushes off concern, and insists he doesn’t need help. And he refuses to let him do it alone.
Between ice rinks, drives home, and quiet evenings in their apartment, they learn to navigate this unexpected pregnancy together. Ilya takes care of Shane with careful hands and steady insistence, and Shane, despite himself, starts to realize maybe he doesn’t have to handle everything on his own.
Hockey doesn’t stop. Life doesn’t pause. But slowly, stubbornly, the two of them adjust — learning to balance routine, responsibility, and each other, one small, intimate moment at a time.
Because some things — like care, trust, and each other — aren’t optional.
