silent confessions

September 4, 2020

Spencer clenched his jaw frustrated as the buzzer went off in the arena and he watched as Dallas all skated together celebrating happily, he could feel the arena shaking from the crowd celebrating.

The Canucks were so close, getting to game seven of the series and losing 0-3 in the last game of the playoff series.

Spencer saw Quinn’s dejected face and skated slowly to him gently nudging him and Quinn looked over and felt his shoulders relax just slighty seeing Spencer.

The two slowly skated off the ice once they congratulated the other team and walked with the team down the tunnel and into the locker room.

The locker room was filled with a tense silence, everyone angry and upset with how close they got to the Stanley cup only to fall short.

Spencer started taking his uniform off once he sat on his stall and winced slightly feeling his body aching with exhaustion and feels many of bruises aching from all the hits he took tonight.

Spencer only slowly nodded to their coach and captains speech keeping his eyes on his skates.

Spencer got up as soon as everyone was finished speaking and headed straight to the showers and hoping right in underneath the scorching hot water and just closed his eyes standing under the water.

Spencer let out a long sigh leading his head back against the cold titles, he wished they were playing at home and he could he going home tonight rather than going back to a hotel room, even if he has been living in the hotel for the last month.

Spencer knew he had to come out the shower eventually especially since he could feel his skin wrinkling from being under the water so long.

Spencer was too tired to care to get back into his game day suit and threw a pair of sweatpants and hoodie and pulling his hoodie up over his head.

Spencer walked out of the showers and back into the locker room seeing it mostly empty and he’s not surprised knowing most of the team probably quickly showered and got on the first bus back to the hotel.

Spencer saw Quinn still sitting in his stall with his head leaning back against the wall and in comfortable clothes as well.

Spencer walked over to Quinn packing up his stuff from his stall and the movement made Quinn open his eyes and look over at Spencer.

Spencer gave him a tiny smile and got one back. Quinn scooted closer to Spencer as he watched Spencer pack up his bag, Quinn has been waiting for Spencer not wanting to go back without him.

“Ready to go?” Spencer quietly whispered the first words he has spoke in hours. Quinn slowly nodded and took Spencer’s hand to stand up and reluctantly dropped it as they started walking out of the locker room.

They walked through the hallway out to where the bus was waiting and Spencer followed Quinn up the steps into the bus, Quinn tiredly walked down a few rows of the bus and flopped down on one of the rows, Spencer sat down next to him and immediately Quinn leaned his head on Spencer’s shoulder.

Spencer leaned his chin on top of Quinn’s head staring at the windows as the rest of the team got onto the bus and the equipment was finished being loaded onto the bus.

The drive to the hotel was quick and Spencer and Quinn both got up and tiredly walked off the bus and into the hotel, Spencer clicked the elevator open and they stepped in.

He clicked the floor level and they waited in comfortable silence as the elevator went up to the floor.

Quinn walked out first and Spencer followed right behind him, Quinn opened the door to their hotel room and closed it once Spencer walked in.

Spencer slipped his shoes off and walked right to his bed flopping onto his back. Quinn slid his shoes off and empty his pockets turning his phone off and tossing it onto the nightstand.

Quinn looked over nervously at Spencer.

Spencer looked over at Quinn seeing him looking at him, Spencer blinked realizing what Quinn wanted and he opened his arms up.

Quinn perked up and quickly walked over and flopped down right next to Spencer and buried his head in Spencer’s neck and wrapped his arm over Spencer’s chest and he felt Spencer’s arm come up around him holding his tightly.

They have cuddled before especially as long or hard games or when they needed comfort but Quinn has never let himself cling to Spencer this much worried that Spencer would be able to see his feelings for him but Quinn didn’t even care right now if he was being obvious about his feelings he just wanted to be held by Spencer.

Spencer let out long breath and relaxed more nuzzling his head on the top of Quinn’s wet hair, Spencer has always enjoyed their cuddling but this was way better than anything they have ever done before.

Spencer hesitantly brought his hand up to Quinn’s head and gently ran his fingers in Quinn’s hair and Quinn made a soft but happy sound and Spencer felt him relax more.

Spencer didn’t know how long Quinn and him laid there in silence but he looked out the window and saw it was pitch black now.

Quinn knew Spencer had to feel something back for him because Quinn has never seen Spencer cuddle with anyone besides letting Jack cuddle with him and Spencer is very minimal with physical touch so Quinn knows it’s really special that Spencer is letting him cuddle with him.

Quinn titled his head up resting his chin on Spencer’s chest and caught Spencer just staring at him with a soft but loving expression and Quinn wondered how he didn’t notice how Spencer looks at him.

“Hi.” Quinn softly whispered leaning his face closer to Spencer’s.

“Hi.” Spencer mumbled back just as softly, Quinn was close enough he could feel his breath lightly over his lips.

Spencer and Quinn maintained eye contact and they knew. They knew they felt the same for each other.

Spencer slowly nodded and Quinn leaned closer once more and they finally connected their lips together. Spencer finally ran his hand across Quinn’s beard and brought his hand to the back Quinn’s head holding him to him.

Quinn let out a happy sound as they pulled back for a second to catch their breath before Spencer pressed his lips desperately back to Quinn’s.

“I-“ Spencer mumbled trying to get his words out which has always been difficult for him, especially when he’s emotional.

“I know.” Quinn softly interrupted Spencer gently caressing Spencer’s cheek, Quinn has learned to read Spencer and he understands what Spencer is trying to say.

“Me too.” Quinn mumbled back softly nudging his nose to Spencer’s.

“Yeah.” Spencer hopefully mumbled back and Quinn smiled nodding.

Quinn rested his forehead against Spencer’s.

“So can i say now how hot facial hair is on you.” Spencer mumbled with a small smirk, Quinn shook his head blushing as he gently pushed Spencer making Spencer throw his head back laughing.

Quinn face was flushed and he had a shy smile as he watched Spencer laugh before slowly calming down and looking back at him.

“What i like my boyfriend’s facial hair so what?” Spencer gently teased cupping Quinn’s face not feeling to nervous as he called Quinn his boyfriend for the first time.

Quinn just grinned even brighter leaning into Spencer’s touch.

it's your birthday, silly - (lilah's version)

note: this takes place on DEC/11/23

delilah's world! au

"morning, sleepyhead," delilah said to matthew, eyes never leaving the t.v. screen.

"morning, my del," he smiled, pressing a kiss to her head. "what're you doing awake so early? it's... did you seriously wake up at eight in the morning for bluey?"

"i love bluey," she answered simply.

matthew chuckled at that, having experienced her love for the cartoon firsthand. she was obsessed with it, watching it whenever she could. at first, he'd tried to get her to watch other shows as well, but then she forced him to watch an episode of bluey with her, and he realized it was much better than a lot of other stuff on t.v.

and besides, as long as she was happy, he'll take it.

"alright, my del, what do you wanna eat for breakfast?" he asked her. "hotel breakfast is still open, but if you don't want that, we can always search for some other breakfast place nearby."

"it's up to you, daddy," she shrugged. "whatever you choose, we can do."

matthew raised a brow, "you okay, little pickle? you have a fever or something? you always choose where we eat breakfast."

for the first time since he woke up, delilah looked away from the t.v. to give him an incredulous look.

"i decide on regular days," she told him. "it's your birthday, silly. today, you get to choose what we do."

matthew blinked, the realization that it was his birthday finally hitting.

"oh man, it is my birthday," he realized.

"yeah, you're old," delilah told him. "ew."

she turned back to the t.v.

matthew smiled at his daughter, pressing another kiss to the top of her head.

"you know what? i'm okay with whatever we do, as long as we do it together."

"even watching bluey all day?"

matthew nodded, "even watching bluey all day."

Christmas Morning

Josh Norris x Female Tkachuk Reader

Warning: fluff

word count: 0.4k

It’s Christmas morning, when I hear footsteps walking closer. I pretended to still be asleep when I felt someone poking me, I opened my eyes to see Y/s/n smiling at me.

“Mommy wake up it’s christmas” he said happily. I smiled at him before picking him up and dropping him between Josh and I.

“Let’s wake up your dad” I whispered in his ear. He nodded excitedly.

He dropped his body on Josh’s chest.

Josh groaned before opening his eyes. 

“Daddy it’s christmas!” He said. Josh smiled at him.

“It’s Christmas?” Josh asked jokingly.

“Yes, come on” he said, dragging Josh out of bed making me laugh.

“Grandma, grandpa and Uncle Matty are already up, she said uncle Brady and aunty emma are almost here with aunty taryn” y/s/n said.

“Well what are we waiting for, let’s go” Josh said Happily. I chuckled before following behind them.

Brady, Emma, and Taryn just got here when we got to the kitchen.

“Merry christmas guys” I told them before giving each of them a hug.

“Merry Christmas,” They all said.

We all sat down at the dining table and ate the breakfast that my parents made. 

Once we were all done we all made our way to the living room so Y/s/n could open his presents.

The last gift he opened was from Matty and it’s a new mini hockey stick.

“Can we play dad?” he asked Josh.

“If everyone else wants to, we can,” Josh replied.

y/s/n looked at Matty, Brady, Taryn, Emma, and his grandma and grandpa.

“I’m going to clean honey, I’ll play later okay?” My mom told him.

“I’m going to go help grandma but i’ll play later.” I said Kissing his forehead, before following my mom into the kitchen.

“Let’s go play buddy,” Taryn said. 

Josh went to get the other Mini sticks we have in the house, so everyone could play. My mom and I started cleaning the Kitchen while they played hockey in the living room.

When we were almost done, Y/s/n came into the kitchen.

“Mommy, grandma join us, please?” he said.

We both smiled at him.

“Come on, let's go play.” I said as we followed him.

“Grandma you’re on my team, Mommy you can be on the other team” he said seriously.

I chuckled.

“Is that so?” I asked jokingly.

“Yes” he replied and everyone laughed.

We started playing. Christmas morning with the family has always been my favorite. It got even better after y/s/n was born.

“Score! Grandma scored on uncle brady!” y/s/n said, making us laugh.

“I was distracted,” Brady said.

“Don’t lie honey, I’m just better than you” My mom said, we couldn’t stop laughing.

“Grandma is awesome” Y/s/n before hugging her.

“Do we keep playing?” Matty asked.

“YES!” My son said excitedly.

Who are some other writers we should check out?

Love your fic recs 😁

omg i LOVE this ask! (and i love that you trust me to rec things/blogs/fics! it's a huge honor)

i'm gonna put this under a read more because there's a lot of people i think are worth following (and if i rec'ed you and got your pronouns wrong, please tell me and i'll fix it!)

so i'm gonna attempt to organize this list by player. disclaimer: i don't read for every hockey player in existence.

mat barzal (obvi number one bc he's the loml)

@barzysunflower - lolo (she/her) is the first mat barzal writer i actually read and when i tell you i binged her masterlist???? it's so good, my favs are the you are in love series and the unexpected series!

@thewintersoldierdisaster - literally anything she writes is great, i go feral for it tbh. she writes for a few canes players as well, but my favs are the mat fics (for obvious reasons being that i'm in love with him). especially the fics with the baby (whose name i cannot remember) and when mat calls reader squeaks???? i'm in love.

@islesnucks - clara (she/her) has so many good mat fics and headcanons (seriously, headcanons are underrated and need more love in general). i think she was also a writer that made me fall in love with mat because she just writes him as the dream romantic hero every single time.

@hockeywhy - i am almost positive that they are tired of me tagging them, but the truth is, they are the writer of my all time fav mat series caught in the middle! but they also have other great mat fics and matthew tkachuk fics that i've enjoyed almost as much! i don't think they're as active anymore writing wise BUT if you want amazing writing and haven't checked them out, you should!

auston matthews

@bagopucks - ella (she/her) hands down my fav auston series is her single mom!reader series. it's the perfect balance of angst and found family and it's just flat out wonderful. she also has a masterlist full of other fics too, that series just happens to be my favorite. but if you wanted another fav of mine, read the jack hughes fic "a little funky," it's about a reader with ocd and as someone with ocd, it was really impactful!

jack hughes

@chewingcyanide - emme (she/they) literally writes the most poetic fics i think i've ever read. everytime she publishes something new, i am stunned. seriously, i honestly take notes from her writing style. stories aside, if you wanted to become a better writer, check out her stuff, it'll really inspire you to use more descriptive words! her breakable heaven series is what introduced me to her writing and it's phenomenal!

@babydollmarauders - faithlynn (she/her) i'm almost positive that faithlynn was the first hockey writer i really followed because jack hughes was my gateway drug into the hockey world. she has so many fun series and aus going on not only for jack but for other devils players, so if you love the devils, definitely check her out!

@jackhues - naqia (she/her) also has a really fun series called mockingbird and it's technically more focused on the friendship/brother-sister relationship jack's gf (reader) and quinn have but it's really sweet. she also has a great auston au as well!

others

@ladylooch - b (she/her) is great! i put her in this category because i feel like she writes a lot for a lot of different players. i've loved her stuff with nico and mat alike. she also has a pretty consistent schedule as well from what i've gathered (which, girl, share your secrets please)

@troubatrain - kim (she/her) wrote my fav beau fic (set it up) and has written some really good fics for matthew tkachuk too! i absolutely adore the soccer player!reader fic and the blurbs that go along with it!

@comphersjost - m (she/they) again, i've said it once, i'll say it again SHE WROTE MY FAV MATT SERIES OF ALL TIME (all for you). I GO BACK AND READ IT OFTEN. literally had me weeping at times. she also wrote some other fics for auston that i've really enjoyed as well!

@sydnikov - sydney (she/her) has written some realyl great fics for andrei and some for nico hischier and jack hughes (and a few others i think, but those are the ones i've read) and they're just fantastic! she's also a canes fan if you want more canes content!

feel free to reblog this with your own author recommendations (in fact i highly encourage it! there are so many good writers on this godforsaken site and these are just the authors i find myself reblogging every time they post!

20 Questions for Fic Writers

saw @hauntedppgpaints do this and i really liked it and wanted to do it so here i am! adjusted a few of the questions to general fic writing instead of specific to AO3.

How many works do you have published? ≈ 44 [I just looked at my folder of word documents but that doesn't include some chaptered WIPs and my blurbs]

What's your total fic word count? ≈ 322,792 words

What fandoms do you write for? Right now, it's just hockey RPF. I have read plenty of fics in other fandoms though.

Top 5 fics by notes "It's Just a Question" (Jack Hughes / 518 notes) "Open Invitation" part 1 (Anthony Beauvillier & Mat Barzal / 496 notes) "peace" (Matthew Tkachuk / 414 notes) "Monsters" (Pierre-Luc Dubios / 395 notes) "just what i want to hear..." (Tyler Seguin / 358 notes)

Do you respond to comments? I don't but I really should. But trust me, all of them mean the world to me. I have a word document of every comment I've gotten on a fic.

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? It's probably "Taste of the Truth", chapter 3 in the "we're a bad idea" series (Matt Martin)

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? I'm going to go with "My Love, My Life" (Colton Parayko)

Do you get hate on fics? Not yet, and hopefully never.

Do you write smut? Yeah. I would say at least half of my published fics are smut.

Craziest crossover? Haven't done any crossovers but I have a few wild alternate universe fics planned.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge.

Have you ever had a fic translated? No, but that would be so cool! [with proper credit of course]

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not yet, but me and @comphy-and-cozy have talked about it

All-time favorite ship? I can't choose one overall, but in the world of hockeyblr... Kreidbanejad.

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Right now... all of them. But, realistically it's one of my AU/OC fics.

What are your writing strengths? I think my figurative language is really strong.

What are your writing weaknesses? Going overboard with world-building. Sometimes I forget that I actually need to write the fic, not just daydream about it.

Thought on dialogue in another language? I love it but am hesitant to use it because I don't speak any other languages which means I mainly rely on Google Translate which isn't the greatest.

First fandom you wrote in? This one actually! Like I said before, I've read for a lot of different fandoms but didn't write until now.

Favorite fic you've ever written? It has to be one of the fic exchange fics I've written. I feel like I write my best works for other people [which is a good thing, I suppose] "Always Be Venice to Me" (Mat Barzal) "Breakable Heaven" (Adam Lowry) "I'm Still Glad I Met You" (Nico Hischier) "The Movie of Us" (Josh Anderson) "won't you stay 'till the a.m?" (Mitch Marner) "Youthfully Felt" (Sidney Crosby)

tagging some of my favorite writers: @comphy-and-cozy @laurenairay @tkachvkmatthew @wyattjohnston & any other writer that wants to do this! no pressure, obviously.

June 16, 2016

Jack and Spencer walked together into the arena for the first day of the summer camp for the development program team.

Spencer was going to be staying with the Hughes for his two years in the program and Jack was so excited to live with his best friend.

The two have stayed in contact since they met almost a year ago and Jack makes them have almost daily face times and they end up doing homework together or setting their phones up outside and shooting pucks together.

Jack and Spencer are a surprising pair to everyone who meets them but the two clicked in a way that it didn’t matter they are so different.

Spencer opened the door to the locker room and let Jack go in first.

Spencer scanned the locker room ignoring the other boys in the room looking for his own name, Spencer saw him name above a stall and he looked to his left and let out a small not noticeable sigh of relief seeing Jack’s name next to him, and to his right someone named Cole.

Jack bounced over to his stall setting his bag down and Spencer followed behind in a much slower pace.

“I’m Trevor!” A boy with a big goofy grin told Jack and Spencer. Spencer immediately noticed how the boy was scarily similar in energy to Jack.

“I’m Jack! This is Spencer, my best friend!” Jack proudly introduced them, knowing Spence doesn’t like talking much and Jack has no problem talking for the both of them.

“This is Cole!” Trevor grinned goofily and gesturing to the smaller boy next to Spencer’s stall.

Cole waved softly and smiled, Spencer liked him a little bit right then.

Jack grinned back and Spencer and Jack sat down on their stalls.

“Oh and this is Matt and Alex!” Trevor introduced to Jack and Spencer once more as the two walked over to the stalls.

“Hello.” Alex greeted sitting on his stall next to Cole’s and Matt nodded sitting on his stall on the other side of Trevor.

The six had no idea how close they were all going to end up being.

In honour of Josh being back in the lineup tonight🥺🤍

Also let me know if you guys would like for me to make this an AU!

let me know what you guys think🤍

I was at a house party and my abusive ex-boyfriend was there, He saw me and I got scared so I went and hid in a room on the first floor and locked the door. I didn’t know what I’m going to do, my brother is out of town for a road trip, but then I remembered that JOSH is at his house down the street since he was injured he didn’t go on the road trip. JOSH and I don’t exactly get along but he’s the only one that’s going to be able to get me out of this so I called him.

“What do you want?” he said when he answered.

“Look I know were not exactly friends, but I know my brother told you about what my ex did and he’s here at the party, I need you to help me leave…please” I said with tears in my eyes.

“Where are you?” he sighed

“The house party down the street from your house”

“Okay where are you in the house right now?”

“I looked myself in a room”

“are you on the first floor?”

“Yes”

“Okay is there a window?”

“Yeah, what do you want me to do, sneak out by the window?” I scoffed

“Yes, if you can, I’m already on my way there, I’m not far just make a run for it and meet me halfway” he said

“Okay I’m going”

I snuck out the window and made a run for it, I never looked back. I saw JOSH walking my way, once I finally caught up to him, I jumped in his arm.

“wow, okay” he said caught off guard and hugged me back

“Come on let’s go” he said as we walked to his house.

“Thank you” I said when we got in his house.

“Don’t worry about it, just go sit on the couch I’ll be back.”

I went and sat down on the couch, a few minutes later JOSH came back and handed me a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants.

“here, you can change into this and I’ll drive you home tomorrow” he said and I nodded.

I got up and went to the bathroom and changed before going back out.

I joined him on the couch again, he was watching the game on the tv the Sens were playing in Montreal.

“You look like you haven’t slept in over a week” he said looking at me.

“I haven’t been able to sleep a full night in a while…” I said embarrassed

“Are you scared he going to show up again?” he asked

“Yeah, I don’t know if I’ll ever not be scared” I said shyly

“I’m going to do something, and if you ever mention it to any of the guys I’ll deny it, understood?” he softly said, making me nod.

He got up from the couch and grabbed the throw blanket that was on the chair and came over to me and held out his hand. I looked at him for a second before grabbing it. He pulled me up, so I was standing next to him. I was so confused, then he laid down on the couch and pulled me on top of him, so I was laying on top of him. He threw the blanket on top of us.  I Looked up our faces were inches apart.

“Get some sleep, he can’t hurt you here” he told me with a small smile. I nodded.

I laid my head on top of his chest and closed my eyes.

“Thank you…” I said before falling asleep.

↳ oc hughes sister x connor bedard blurb

↳ au masterlist!

takes place in 2026 & 2027.

warnings: swearing

word count: 6.2k+

Two households, both alike in dignity...

both families stared in wonder, their level of curiosity overshadowed by peace and happiness. somehow by the grace of shakespeare, the hockey gods, and the beautiful universe; the two sorrowed hearts were once together again.

oh- how fate would have it, bringing these two pearls of the world back together. for good.

◦

kailey and brendan had been broken up for almost 3 months now. the two were together officially for about 2 months, before kailey pulled the plug. she was not in the correct headspace to be with him, and brendan knew it but hoped that he loved her enough for the both of them. her brothers were shocked to find out about them after the fact. they never did suspect or find out from the instagram post she posted. she never did post anything after that until her and her parents went west for christmas, to spend the holiday with quinn. and you best believe, that quinn (with the other two on facetime) gave her a brutal beating. quinn was upset that she had kept a relationship from them, again. he was upset, disappointed, and felt guilty. he knew how high strung his brothers could be, he knew how they'd go tooth and nail with connor on the ice when they'd meet. connor was dead to the hughes brothers, respectfully. oh, and pretty much every other bestie of theirs...zegras, tkachuks, caufield, turcotte, larkin and everybody else associated with them. they knew they'd go tooth and nail with anybody that came into her life. quinn knew how much she hated that, she hated the feeling of somebody watching over every move. she could never escape this expansive family, the hughes had created long ago. jack went on and on about how much he didn't like her getting with brendan but finished with, "whatever makes you happy sis, makes me happy." and then lukey, the sweetest of the bunch. just said that he'd support her no matter what, but that he'd like to know next time. make sure to give the guy a nice talking to.

she adored them, and everything they'd done for her over the course of her life.

yet, she was ready to make life complicated and messy once again.

_

tessa vlasic, invited kailey to her and alex's new years party in chicago. kailey was unsure if she wanted to go, knowing that lisa and connor were both going to be there. though her best friend and college roommate, quickly hopped on facetime for back up and threatened to banish her from the universe if she did not come. kailey caved and said she'd be staying at the ritz carlton, per her brothers. they thought it would be good to head back to chicago for a weekend, before she went back to california. though, they did not know that connor would be there; or else they would have found some way for her to not go.

yet here she was knocking onto tessa's and alex's suburb home, shaking in her heels, at it being 9 degree's out. alex threw open the door, and cheered. "hughesy!" he screamed, alerting many of the other party guests, some even making their way towards the door to say hello. you could hear tessa's heels hitting the marble floors of the kitchen, and then the clunk they made upon the hardwood floor. alex pulled the warm brunette girl into the older house, and he had only taken off her wool coat before tessa had her arms around the girl. a second later, becca's arms wrapped around kailey's backside, and they all spoke in hushed whispers, which was all about their outfits. kailey did a little pose, which earned gawks from the girls and a whistle. "lets get you a drink!" tessa said pulling her best friend with her, along with becca. "so! how was christmas with the family?" tessa quizzed, quirking an eyebrow as she pushed a glass of very expensive champagne. "oh goddd." she said putting a hand to her face, "it was a lot. i thought i wouldn't survive it tbh." she said giggling just a bit. "kails!" she heard lukas cheer from the doorway, and she mimicked his stance. "hey lukas." she said meeting him for a hug, "wheres mack?" she questioned where mackenzie entwistle was; a toronto hockey player and a childhood friend of quinns. "oh no, look what the wind blew in." she grinned, turning around and threw her hands up in surprise. "im hereeeee!" she smiled as he gave her a big hug. as soon as she committed to depaul, quinn made a phone call to the 6'3 right winger, asking him to show her the city and to keep an eye on her. to which he happily obliged, he'd miss the firecracker and his favorite hughes. "hows california?!" he asked as they parted from their hug, and she shrugged with a grin. tessa and becca snickered, drinking more of their drinks. "remember maya? our non blood cousin? i live with her, its been great! and ofcourse, not having to deal with winter is nice too." she joked, which garnered a few laughs. "though you love it, you love snow!" becca quipped and kailey gave her a fake glare. "okay stop hounding me, go away! ill be out there soon." she said jokingly pushing people away from her. "missed you kails." entwistle said giving her another side hug, "you too mack." she hummed before leaning back over the counter, resuming the conversation with tessa and becca.

"i gotta go say hi to a few more people, ill be back!" tessa said going to do her job as a hostess. becca and her just giggled, the bubbly alcohol awakening them just a bit. about ten minutes later, becca said she had to go find lukas about a message she got from his mom, and so that left the girl alone in the kitchen. she switched out the champagne for a seltzer, walked over towards the sink which had a window looking out. soft snow had been falling for a few hours now, and she could only imagine how this part of chicago looked like over the winter season. she heard somebdoy walk into the kitchen, and she turned around. her breath hitched in her throat as she took in the dark blonde, blue-eyed boy she'd once been madly and oh so deeply in love with. though who were we kidding, she'd ever stopped loving him.

not even a second went by when she had stopped, it was if she was incapable of doing so.

"hi." connor said nervously, "hi." kailey responded, turning back around to look outside. her most fondest memories growing up were with her family, when they lived in toronto. oh, how her, jack, and luke would play for hours upon hours outside. her mom was only able to coax them inside, if she promised them tim horton's hot coco. in which that worked only 75% of the time. her and luke's cheeks rosy, their noses numb but a pretty pink. drool hanging from their mouths, and snot coming out as they rolled down the hill behind their house. she'd give anything in the world to go back to that time before everything changed and she'd be plucked from the life that she knew and adored in favor of the boys burgeoning careers.

"whatcha thinking about?" connor asked walking up next to her, and she sighed. "nothing important." she hummed, drinking more of her drink. he looked down at her, cocking his head just a bit with a faint smile, "you were somewhere else. your shoulders were relaxed, your head sagging just a bit and your feet were turned inwards." he said softly and she looked up at him, now realizing just how close he was. their lips only inches apart. he knew her even after all these months. "you think i forgot?" he questioned, and she softly nodded before taking off. she walked back where she had walked through previously, and took the initiative to head upstairs for a breather. lukas noticed the girl look around for a few seconds before he saw her start her descent, and he quickly went to go find becca. connor back in the kitchen watched as she ran off, trying to figure out where he had crossed the line. kevin korchinski walked in to grab another drink, and saw connor standing there. "you good, bro?" he asked taking another beer from the fridge. "um um yeah." connor said shaking his head. "doesn't seem like it." kevin said before taking a couple sips. "i uh said something to kailey just now and well, she ran off." connor said truthfully. kevin nodded, but before he could say anything frank nazar and colton dach walked in. "con, were gonna go play a game, wanna join?" colton asked. "um yeah give me a few minutes." he said leaning on the kitchen island, away from his best friends and teammates. colton nodded and frank clapped him on the shoulder, "dont make us wait too long." and connor nodded still not looking at them.

_

One half of me is yours, the other half yours—Mine own, I would say. But if mine, then yours, And so all yours

back upstairs, kailey sat down on the guest room bed. she looked down at her feet and laughed. not a giggle, not an innocent laugh but one that had been held deep within her for months at this point. one that radiated from the very bottom of her toes to the longest strand of hair that she had. connor had been right, he always had been. he could always tell when she was comfortable or lost in a deep thought. or in this case, when she thought about her childhood. her feet always turned inward, something she didn't particularly care for. he always said it was a cute little quirk, and here she was. as she was laughing at herself, connor had begun his own descent up the stairs looking for a breather before heading down to play the game. when he reached the top step, he heard somebody laughing from the exact extra bedroom, he was planning on going into. he stopped right in front of the door and heard the familiar laugh. an angelic and beautiful song, that burned his ears. she heard the floor creak outside the door, and stopped. "whoever is out there, you can come in." she said not sure who it could be.

connor walked in slowly, gauging her reaction but she didn't have one. she stood when he appeared and watched for his reaction. "i um- i can go." he said pointing behind him, but she shook her head as she sat back down. "its fine." she said and he nodded shutting the door and sitting down next to the girl. the two sat there for a few minutes in silence, just listening to the crowd downstairs and faint music playing behind them. kailey sighed looking over towards connor, and as if it was second nature; she outlined his features with her eyes. the soft under-eye bags, the laugh lines that were forming around his eyes, his eyes. the beautiful shade of blue, echoing the ocean. one's that had fires lit within them, when he looked at her; the love of his life. "did you mean what you said?" she questioned, and he looked over. he met her eyes and she could tell he was racking his brain on what he said, "did you mean what you texted me after i saw you this summer?" she questioned. when she had turned her service back on after getting back from chicago, she saw a text from connor. it was a paragraph expressing how he'd never stop loving her, that he would always care about her, and that he'd always be supporting her from wherever he was in the world. and that he was sorry, and how much sorrow he carried against himself because of what he had done to the girl.

connor nodded, "always. it's never changed, and never will." he said softly. "i just want you to be happy with him or anybody for that matter." he said honestly. she nodded, a soft smile forming on her tanned skin. "i havent...i havent stopped loving you. and im afraid i never will con. im terrified ill never be able to move on with anybody, because of that. hell, its ruined one relationship and my ability to clearly think about my future." she said softly. the strings in his heart tugged, at the angelic way she said con. oh, how had he missed the way it rolled off her tongue. through tears she spoke again, "but i know you're with lisa...so i wont keep you any longer." she said turning and standing up. "we're not together." he stated, and she looked down at con. "as soon as i saw you, i broke things off. she'd never be you, and truthfully nobody will be you. not even close." he said as his eyes poured into her's.

"what are you saying?" she whispered, fearing that if she said it loud enough; reality would come crashing down. he stood up, getting closer towards the girl. "what im saying is that what we had, to me, is not over, im not sure if it'll ever be over and i sure as hell never want it to be. i - i was a fool. i thought i knew what i was doing, i thought i knew what to be right but that just made me look and seem a fool." he paused, gauging her reaction and it was a silent plea for him to continue.

he grabbed her empty hand, pulling it to his chest. his hands wrapped around her's, her body relaxing at the feeling of known comfort. "half of my being belongs to you, half of my being is yours-the other half is you. the way you helped me grow over the past three years, grow up, evolve, and change as a person for the better has left an imprint on me. and, the way i evolved was not evident in what i did this spring. i know that and i know that i most likely will never ever change how you feel about me, but i hope to someday gain your friendship and trust once more. because even if we were to never be again, i'd hope that i at least secured your friendship. because everybody in this universe deserves kailey clara's friendship and trust. that is one thing i will die on a hill for." he finished, tears pooling his eyes while soft tears spilled from her's. he wiped them with one hand, while keeping the other one close to his chest.

she sniffled, "you hurt me con. you hurt me when i thought you were the only person in my life who'd never hurt me. not intentionally at least. you broke me with a simple text, but that text echoed a thousand words. a thousand roses with thorns, a thousand wrecking balls and you killed me with those words that you swore you'd never use!" she said her voice raising ever so slightly. her hand stayed where it was on his chest, not wanting to it move. connor felt more tears prick his eyes, as she held his gaze. "you took my trust, my parent's trust, my brothers trust- when you knew how important it was to gain theirs. you knew how important it was to have the approval of my brothers! and you still did what you did. you still spoke to her when you knew the anxiety and the sheer fear over you cheating on me, though i was naive when you said the words, 'i'll never cheat on you my kailey clara, for you are too pure and good to be conned or decieved.'" she paused snatching her hand away from his chest.

"It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.” 

"connor- i thought you were the one. i believed you to be the one that hung the moon and the stars, just for me. i believed that you were to be the one i would marry and grow old with, the one that would make life magical, wild and a fairytale....i thought you were the one that would make everything right in the world. i believed you to be the one who would walk with me every step of the way, to the ends of the earth and beyond for me and with me." she paused placing a soft hand on his cheek, and he closed his eyes savoring this moment. but he was pulled away from it in an instant.

"but when i think of all the love in the world, and all the great memories and experiences we had together, i cant help but be filled with dread and pain over what you did. what you and she did together, to spite me? to make me look like a fool? you embarrassed me in front of the whole hockey community, one that i already hold close with spite. and you knew that! and you still did it, you still dug that dagger deep in my heart, twisted it and pulled it away without a second thought. i always thought that a great and epic love would be worth it and ever so rewarding but no. its quite the opposite, its tortuous, cunning, and nauseating." she finished shaking her head and removing her hand from his cheek.

"please..." he whispered softly, not letting go of the girl. and to his credit, she also wasn't moving. she was seeing how long he'd stand there. "i know there will never be any words or poem or iambic pentameter that will convince you in this moment. but give me a chance, give me the opportunity to prove to you, show you that I've changed. that I've grown up these past few months. prove to you that I'll never let go of you again. that i will never cause strife or discomfort." he paused, as she sniffled. "please let me prove to you that i love you, that I've never stopped loving you, and that what we share is powerful and something memorable." he said confidently with just a smidge of vulnerability.

kailey nodded softly, still holding his eye. his lips parted, eye brows creasing ever so slightly, and she continued to nod. "yes, show me that. show me that you've grown, show me that you still care, show me what I've been missing." she hummed, and connor's lips came crashing down on her's just as quick.

_

kailey and connor spent the next hour talking in hushed voices, over her plans to come visit in a month, his by-week plans changing to come out to see her, and their plans on telling those closest to them. they wanted nothing more than to tell the world that they were back together, but also knew how much kailey respected and how much control she wanted and had over the public's view of her. she did not want to cause any backlash on her brothers or her parents for that matter, to which connor respected it. he knew how much flack she got when they broke up, and had felt the reckoning of those closest to the hughes family on him. he'd been beat up and hit, and fortunely lived to tell the tale.

connor held kailey in his arms, as they looked out at the winter wonderland that was currently being created. "whatcha thinking about?" he whispered softly, against her ear. she smiled shutting her eyes, "im seeing luke and i running up the hill in our backyard. jack coming closely behind with quinn. i was 7 while luke was 8, jack 10 and quinn 12. they were bringing up the sleds, it was a snow day, and i sit with quinn and jack with luke. we were racing down the hill, with quinn and i winning by a few inches. jack and luke are screaming and crying for a redo, with my mom is calling us inside letting us know dad had brought home tim hortons hot coco. we didn't budge, we made our way back up the hill. our cheeks and noses about ready to fall off, but our spirits were so warm and inviting, and so mercifully alive." she explained, with connor kissing her exposed shoulder. "looks like you are a canadian girl through and through." he joked and she giggled. "maybe so. but i am a sucker for a tan." she joked.

the two made their way down a little while later, right before midnight. she found her way to becca and becca could tell something was a bit different, and then she put two and two together. tessa grinned from her spot, once she saw connor walk in and then kailey following behind him. the countdown began as kailey made a dash for the kitchen, going to find a fluke of champagne. connor saw her golden hair exit right, and quickly made his way over. weaving in and out of people to do so. she was in the process of picking up a fluke, when midnight came around, right as connor grabbed her by the cheeks pulling her in for a deep and swoon-worthy kiss.

she grasped his wrists, grabbing his cheek when he removed one to dip her just a bit. they pulled apart, smiling wickedly as they rested their foreheads against one another's. they both chuckled, at the realization of what just happened.

love, pain, sorrow, shock, anguish, adoration - all of the above was evident in that very kiss.

their moment was ruined when they heard shouts and cheers coming from a group of people that just so happened to catch the tail end of the kiss. connor pulled her into his chest before they looked back over toward their friend group, their cheeks rosy as deep as a red rose.

_

the two had gotten good at keeping their relationship under wraps, besides the team knowing and their significant others. but other than that, only her cousin and best friends knew. she knew her brothers were going to throw an absolute fit when they found out. but for the sake of their relationship and friendship, they decided to keep it private so kailey could work on her trust and respect for connor. connor had been nothing short of what she wanted and needed from him, going above and beyond.

but here the two were, flying to europe to meet up with her side of the family. the two had spent the past week in vancouver and spent time with his side of the family, and shocking them with the news of them being back together. though she knew they'd be more relaxed than her family, but she just kept telling herself she had to rip the bandaid off. her brothers and parents had been in Stockholm for two days when her and connor flew in, she lied and said she had work obligations but her and connor decided to spend one last day with his parents, because when he'd get back he'd be focusing on training. her and connor were meeting her family for a late lunch, before going to do some light shopping and ofcourse, get some coffee that kailey hadn't had for a few years after doing a study abroad.

kailey smoothed down her taupe linen pants and white body suit, fidgeting with herself in order to keep herself calm. connor came up behind her wrapping his arms around the girl, trying to calm her. "what if they hate me?" she whispered, not being able to face that reality herself. connor shook his head, spinning her around to face him. "kailey clara hughes, your brothers and parents will never hate you. even if they are not happy with me, they will never hate you. they love you too much to ever think such a thing. do you remember how many times they threatened to drop everything in order to come out to see you? do you know how many times they asked me if they needed to come out, and be with you and check in?" he paused, and she shook her head. "double digits kailey, double digits over three years. i promise you they don't have the function or ability to ever hate you. they love you too much." he said comforting the girl, who nodded before leaning up and kissing the boy.

"now lets go. i dont want jack to call me and complain that im late." she grinned, pulling connor out of the room.

_

the two walked into the outdoor establishment and looked around for her family, and ellen saw her first. her mom got up first and once kailey and connor had made it about 5 feet from them, her mom wrapped connor in a hug. kailey giggled like a mad woman, while her brothers stared at connor with daggers. she turned towards jack who was next to her, and pushed his head and he took it. "if you don't get up in 2 seconds, we are leaving." she said and luke jumped up. his 6'2 stature giving her 5'6 stature a bear hug. "you happy?" he whispered, and she nodded when they pulled apart. "very much." she whispered back, which put a huge smile on his face. after her dad shook connor's hand, luke and connor hugged. truth be told, he always loved connor and had always wished him the best despite circumstances.

"i mean it, we will leave." she said looking down at jack and then over towards quinn. "hey kiwi." quinn said getting up and hugging her. "happy?" he whispered in french, and she nodded. "oui." she grinned as they pulled apart. his limited french vocab from her immersive study over the year, only taking him that far. quinn and connor hugged, while kailey looked down at jack. truth be told, he was always the hardest one to crack in the family. he was the one person she always sought for approval from, and she feared she wouldn't get it.

"hi kails." he finally said but did not get up to greet her. she sighed, sitting down next to luke with connor being in between her and her mom. connor and jack looked at one another, giving each other a respectful nod before the waiter came up to get drink orders.

the two spent the next two hours going over how they reconnected, what they'd been up to, and what they were thinking for the upcoming season. to which, kailey had been thinking about going back to chicago and be there full time, but was still working things out. they all went their separate ways, promising to link up for dinner at the hotel restaurant. besides jack giving connor the silent treatment, lunch went smoothly which connor took as a win.

_

"What is past is prologue."

the two headed down to the restaurant, and quickly sat down waiting for her family. connor and kailey held hands under the table, and as jack and the rest of the family walked up, they caught the two having a private moment. connor had whispered something to the girl, to which the only response that she could muster was a warm and inviting laugh. ellen and jim smiled widely as they saw their daughter so calm and relaxed in connor's presence, while quinn and luke slightly nudged jack in the back. jack rolled his eyes and turned back, to grab a drink from the bar. "where is he going?" she questioned as they all hugged and greeted one another. "to get a drink." luke said and without a word, kailey made her descent. "this should be fun to watch." quinn murmured, with luke picking it up and laughing.

she waltzed up next to jack and quickly ordered a martini, "wanna tell me why you've been such an ass to connor and i?" she asked without looking at jack. he looked over at her, stunned at how abrasive she was being, and shook his head. when she turned to look at him, he caught her eye as he took a sip of his spirit. "don't shut me out jacky, don't you dare." she said with passion. he shook his head setting his drink down, "then why are you here?" he paused pointing towards the table, "why are you with him? huh? why are you back with him after what he did? i thought you were better than that, i thought mom taught you better than that, i would have hoped you thought much more of yourself than to do this." he huffed, turning back towards the bar. she stared at him, stunned at what he truly thought. she couldn't believe how he truly felt. she felt tears begin to form, and she wrestled with what to do. she shook her head as jack looked back down at her, and then she was gone.

she made her way out of the establishment, needing to get a breather. she walked outside to the vast, grand, and luxurious estate. she began walking down the rows of grass between patches of flowers, rocks and fountains. she sat down on one of them, feeling exposed. feeling naive. feeling like a fool. she now regrets not saying something beforehand, and subjecting connor to jack's behavior. "kailey." she heard to her right, and she quickly stood up putting a hand between her and her brother.

"you said what you said jack, there's no taking that back." she spat, clenching a handful of her black satin dress in one hand, while running her other through her long waves. she turned away before turning back around, "you didn't even want to ask me anything? you didn't want to ask get to the bottom of everything?" she questioned, and when he didn't respond she continued. "you didn't want to ask me how he makes me feel? how much he's changed? how different things are now? you didn't even care to ask if im happy?" she said through tears now. once jack saw a few tears fall, his demeanor changed. his gaze was remorseful and full of regret. "im sorry kailey, i am. but isn't he the one that hurt you? doesn't that mean he's supposed to be forever scarred in my book?" he countered and she giggled. "he is, but you would know how different things were if you just had asked me today. i get that by not telling you guys beforehand was wrong but i knew i'd rather do this in person than be over 1,000 miles away from each other fighting. and going nowhere with it. i had believed that if you saw how happy he makes me, and how much trust i have with him now would be enough. but you didn't speak to me, us." she paused sniffling.

"you were the one i was most afraid of, and i was right jack. you have always been the one i most revered, the one that i sought approval from over everything. ever since we were little, i wanted to be cool enough for you. i wanted to make playing barbies cool for you, but then you never played with me so i gave them up. i tried making piano seem cool for you so you could do it with me, but i gave that up. i tried making french cool for you..though mom wouldn't let me quit. i have tried for years to make you proud of me, but nothing has ever come to fruition." she paused, wiping some more tears. "you are the one that i have spent my life trying to make you happy. but im tired of it. im tired of trying to make you happy or proud, because that means im not happy. and with him, with connor, i am happy. he makes me so out of this world happy, he makes me feel loved, adored, appreciated, and respected, and he shows me how to love selflessly. if you don't approve of him, then i - i don't know what to do anymore jack. but i know one thing is for sure, is that im not pushing him away, im not giving him up again. he doesn't deserve that nor do i." she paused again trying to read his expression.

"whatever has happened in our past is our past, that chapter is over. this chapter, the one that we are in and creating new memories and moments that will last a saga, is the one i am focusing on. that was our then, our beginning, our prologue to where we are now and where we want to go. he is all i want in this world and more, and i hope you- i hope you understand that before it's too late." she paused, feeling a sense of weight being lifted off her shoulders. weight, that had been their for decades.

she shook her head at her older brother, "you may not accept him, quinn and luke might not accept him but i think the jury is out on that one." she paused briefly to giggle, " but i will not allow for this circus, this blockade or this one man army to keep me from being happy. people might consider us star-crossed lovers and i wont let it end with sorrow or pain. i will not allow it, whether you are in my life or not because of it." she finished.

jack swallowed hard before nodding, "okay." he stated and she gave him a confused look. "okay, show me how much he's changed. show me how things have been made better, amended even." he began. "but i want you to know that no matter what decision you make with him or anything else, i will support you. i will be there for you when you need me. and i promise, i promise you kiwi that i have always been proud of you. you have always made me happy, just by being you. but also, i just couldn't let the world know that i had fun playing with barbies and american girl dolls, because that meant i was with my favorite sibling." he finished with a wicked grin.

she playfully slapped him on the arm, "you inconceivable fool!" she said now laughing. "how did you know that was my favorite movie?" he teased and she slapped him again, "don't tell me that all those times i tried putting on princess bride that you were trying to protect your 'status' or precious fucking ego?! when you really wanted to watch it?" she playfully fumed, and he laughed. "oh yes, its a secret favorite of mine." he mused throwing an arm over her shoulder. "did you know its trevors fav too?" she grinned, and jack threw his head back in deep laughter.

the two walked back towards the restaurant and to the rest of their family. which included connor, lets be honest. "all is fair in love and war?" jim teased as the two sat down. jack and kailey gave each other a amused look and shrugged, "eh. its to be decided." she said as connor grabbed her hand underneath the table. she turned back to him and smiled widely. a wide smile filled with complete adoration for the blue eyed hockey player, that jack caught.

Two households, both alike in dignity...

getting wonderfully and humorously along, that would transform the hockey world as we know it. the long and powerful association, soon to be bridged together by marriage would set up decades of privilege and change to come within the sport of hockey. along the way, linking and bridging other powerful names throughout the hughes' tenure in hockey.

all is right in fair verona...well, in this case - the wonderful and ever chaotic national hockey league.

“Absolutely no running around down here, okay?” You look between your three sons who are all probably ignoring you as the hall is flooded with hockey players. This isn’t their first ASG experience, they’d come along a couple years ago but they weren’t really old enough to wander off on their own.

“Yep! Got it! Oh look, it’s Dad!” Garrett was running off before you could get a word in and his two brothers were following close behind. You caught up to them after they reached Matt and they were already badgering him with questions about who they were going to talk to first.

“Can we see Cale Makar? Please!” Garrett whines and his brothers are quick to interrupt.

“No! Trevor Zegras”

“I wanna see Jack!” Matthew looks to you and you laugh at how excited the boys all are.

“Ry buddy, you get to see Jack like every summer” Matthew and Brady were close enough with the Hughes brothers that your kids have all grown up together so it was an odd request from Ryan.

“Yeah but I miss him” Your youngest son pouts but his brothers’ complaining snaps him out of it.

“Okay let’s head in here first and then we’ll see who else we can catch after” Matthew holds the door open to the locker room where you can hear all the guys talking and surely there were other kids running around in there.

The boys walk in and Ben stops dead in his tracks when he sees Trevor Zegras standing at his locker. “Go say hi” You nudge him forward but he looks back at you with wide eyes.

“No- he- I can’t just go up to him!” You roll your eyes before turning to look for Matthew.

“Matty can you take him? He’s scared” You tease your oldest son who pokes your arm before Matt drags him away. The other two boys are already flitting around the dressing room, observing and talking to some other players. You follow behind Matt and a very unusually quiet Ben.

“Zegras? My kid wants to meet you” Matthew kinda pushes Ben ahead and his shocked expression is enough to make you all laugh. Matt has known Trevor for years now, spending plenty of time during the summer at the Hughes lake house which also meant you knew him pretty well.

“Hey dude how’s it going?” Trevor smiles at Ben like they’re best friends.

“Really good, I’m excited for today but I can’t sit on the bench so that sucks” Ben shoots you and Matthew a look before turning back to Trevor who’s raising his eyebrow at you.

“Didn’t know you guys were such lame parents” Trevor snickers.

“Hey, no need to be mean” You pout and Matt sighs.

“They’re too wild to be down on the bench”

“Am not!” Ben argues and technically he’s right. It’s more Garrett that you’re worried about.

“Well what if some of us help keep them in check?” Trevor looks to you. “This could be their last All-Star Weekend! Chucky’s getting pretty old”

“That’s enough outta you” Matthew shoves hun lightly which makes Trevor laugh.

“Maybe- only if G promises to be on his best behaviour” Ben cheers with Trevor while you exchange a look with Matt.

“Mom! I want to go find Jack!” Ryan comes racing up to you, tugging on your sleeve.

“I can take him, I’m heading over to see him now anyway” Trevor offered and you smile.

“If you don’t mind? We’ll probably be there after we get G to see Cale Makar” Trevor smirks before nodding and taking Ryan out of the room and down the hall to the other locker room.

You and Matt manage to wrangle Ben and Garrett before heading on the mission to find Cale. Luckily, you bump into him right in the hall and Garrett gets a signed stick and a picture before you’re all off to find Jack.

“Jack! Look at my stick!” Garrett ran right up to him, waving the freshly signed stick in the air, his sheer loudness attracting the attention of almost everyone in the room.

“G! Calm please” You mutter once you’re standing next to him again.

“Jeez Y/n/n, let the kid live” Jack joked and you shook your head.

“He’s done enough living for a lifetime and he promised to reel it in this weekend”

“Sorry” His response was weak but you accepted it anyway.

“Alright, we need everyone on the ice in ten minutes!” Your boys all groaned when they realized they’d have to leave to head up to the seats and you weren’t sure if it was what Trevor said or just that you felt bad for the boys but you caved.

“Okay, boys you can stay with your dad as long as you behave, I’m talking model behaviour” You look between the three who are practically bouncing.

“Yes ma’am”

“Deal!”

“I promise Mom!” You smile happily when they all agree and look up to Matt.

“Is it okay that they stay?”

“Of course, as long as I’m not going to be chasing G down on the ice” He shoots a look at your troublemaker who smiles innocently back.

…

The skills competition went well and thankfully your boys were well behaved. Now, all that was left was a quick interview for Matthew and you could all head to dinner. You made your way back down to the tunnel to collect the boys when an intern stopped you.

“Hi, are you Mrs. Tkachuk? Matthew Tkachuk’s wife?”

“Yes… did my kids do something?” The apology was already forming in your brain for whatever your kids had gotten into.

“No no nothing like that! They were actually wondering if your sons would like to join Matthew in his interview?”

“Oh! Uh I can talk to them, I’m sure they’d love to though” The intern nodded and let you through, asking to just send the boys along with Matthew into the media room if they wanted to do it. You found them quickly, they were already down in the locker room, crowded around Matt’s stall.

“Mom! Did you see us out there?” Ryan jumped up when you walked over, running into your arms.

“I did babe” The other two were still in a discussion with Matt, barely acknowledging your arrival. “I have some exciting news for you three” They all look up, conversation long forgotten. “They want you to do the interview with Dad”

“Oh cool! Can we?” Ben looks to Matthew who’s nodding, obviously excited about having them with him.

“I’m going to be on tv!”

…

“So Matthew, what’s it like having your kids here with you?”

“It’s great. Y’know I came to the All-Star Game with my dad and it was really exciting for me and it’s honestly even better that I can bring my own kids now” Matthew was smiling at the three boys who sat at the table with him.

“And are you boys having a good time?”

“It’s so fun!”

“I got Cale Makar to sign a stick for me” You laughed quietly at Garrett’s brag, definitely so that his friends would see it from home.

“Clearly they’re having a good time” Matthew chuckled and the reporter’s laughter filled the room.

“What positions do you three play?”

“I’m a defence man” Garrett exclaims, loud and proud.

“I play center” Ben says, a little quieter than his brother.

“And Ryan doesn’t really have a position yet but he wants to play center” Garrett supplies for his shy younger brother.

“Here’s the question everyone’s dying to know: Will you boys be here one day, competing for yourselves?” You rolled your eyes at the question. It’s all Matthew had gotten asked whenever his sons were brought up in interviews. Even during the first one after Ben was born, they asked if he was going to play in the NHL.

“I would be very grateful if I got the chance to play in the NHL one day like my Dad and Grandpa Keith and playing at the All-Star Game would be a bonus” Matthew catches your eye and you can’t help but laugh at Ben’s answer. He’s like a little media trained 12 year old!

“And Uncle B!” Ryan adds in and that makes everyone laugh again.

“Will you expect them to pursue the NHL like you and your brother did, Matthew?”

“We don’t have any expectations for them in terms of that. I mean of course they’re all in hockey now and if they choose to go that route, I’m sure they’d be amazing but if they don’t, we’re still going to support them” Matthew easily rattled off and you watched as the boys all looked at him. They looked inspired as they watched him, it was adorable really and you couldn’t help but get a little emotional seeing all your boys up there with Matt.

“I’m gonna be way better than Quinn and Luke!” Garrett announces, going against his promise and opening his big mouth.

“I’m gonna be better than Uncle B AND Dad” You smack your forehead when Ryan yells back, holding onto the small sliver of hope that Ben has the common sense to stay quiet.

“Okay I think that’s enough from you three” Matt cuts them off before they can say anything else.
