    Summary

    [Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander sit together in a sterile interrogation room. There’s a height chart on the wall behind them, and a harsh light hangs overhead. Next to them on the table is a polygraph machine.]

    Producer: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. 

    Shane: Yes.

    Ilya: Yes, those are our names. See how truthful I’m already being?

    Shane: You’re not even hooked up to anything yet. 

    Ilya: I’m just establishing how honest I am before we start. 

    Producer: Well, that’s good because you’re both here to take a lie detector test. The way this works is that one of you will be hooked up to the machine while the other asks questions, and then you’ll switch. Judd [the camera switches to show a man with glasses and stark white hair sitting at the polygraph machine] will be reading your results in real time. Shane, you’ll go first.

    Shane: Goody.

    Summary

    "About the babies," he says, picking at a loose thread on the duvet cover. "What if we didn't tell anyone?"

    Ilya looks skeptically at Shane's mid-section. "I think that might be a little difficult in a few months, yes?"

    "No, not keeping it a secret entirely, just the twin thing. Obviously people would know we're going to have a baby, but they wouldn't have to know it's twins, would they?"

    Ilya places his phone down on the bed, looking fully at Shane, his warm hazel eyes searching Shane's face. "This is what you want?"

    "I dunno. I just feel like we have to share so much of ourselves with everyone. It'd be nice to keep this once thing just for us, you know?"

    He feels Ilya shift, and suddenly his vision is full of his husband smiling with a mischievousness that can only mean trouble. "How dramatic am I allowed to be when we finally tell everyone?"

    The laugh that leaves him is as inevitable as the surge of love he feels, and the answer comes easily as he thinks about the future that's spread out so wonderfully in front of them filled with the family he knows Ilya never really thought he'd have. "As dramatic as you want."

    Jane
    [1 image]

    Ilya stared at the photo of a tiny, red faced baby. He wasn’t sure why Shane was sending him a photo of a random newborn.

    Lily
    Cute! Whose baby is that?

    Jane
    She’s ours

    Lily
    What?

    Jane
    I had a baby an hour ago

    ***

    Before Ilya and Shane meet at the cottage, Shane very very unexpectedly has a baby. Chaos (and love) ensues.

    Summary

    “So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?” 

    “Yeah.” 

    Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.” 

    Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?” 

    Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?” 

    Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?” 

    Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.” 

    “Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.” 

    Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.
