Summary
Taking the call off speaker-phone and pushing his glasses up on the crown of his head, David cleared his throat and asked, “Sorry, who is this?” with a furrowed brow and a hand on his hip.
It was silent between the two of them for almost a minute, but David could hear vague sounds of movement on the other side of the call.
“Um. I am a friend. Shane’s friend,” the other man answered with a thin tone, before asking, “Who are you?” He throws the word ‘you’ at David like an accusation.
David couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m Shane’s dad.”
He followed his answer up with, “I’ve been listening to you talk to my son in what sounds like Russian for the last ten minutes, uh…” David pulls back the phone to check the name again, just in case he had somehow misread the contact. Nope. He didn’t. “Lily?”
----
Or, after Shane, high-on-painkillers, calls Ilya in the hospital and falls asleep shortly after, David shows up and gets to chat with whoever Lily is. David is confused, to say the least.

Summary
"No m'not," Shane said, somehow pressing his face even more into Ilya's body. "All I ever did was play hockey. Now, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I hope we have a baby soon."
The car went quiet at that. When Shane looked up, Ilya was looking out the window, jaw set.
"S' something wrong?" Shane asked. He ran his fingertips along the warm skin of Ilya's forearm.
Ilya turned back to face him, expression softened. Whatever pensiveness had taken hold of him was gone.
"No. Everything is perfect."
After sixteen seasons of professional hockey, Shane Hollander retires from the NHL in the interest of starting a family with his loving husband. It's maybe a little earlier than he would've liked, but with his thirty-five year old knees beginning to protest, it makes sense.
He's happy. He and Ilya have been working towards this for nearly a decade.
He's also terrified, wondering if this is the biggest mistake of his life, and thinking that maybe he should take it all back. But mostly, he's happy.

Summary
"It was nothing, Ilya. Don't worry about it."
"Ah," Ilya said, and something like understanding crossed his face. "Was about us, then."
Shane pressed his forehead to Ilya's neck. Of course Shane couldn't just slip this by, of course he would be figured out. He wrapped Ilya up in a hug and moved his hand up and down his back, in a way that he hoped said it doesn't matter.
"He just–after he checked me, I called him a dick, and then he said I'd need my big scary Russian husband to protect me. And then he called you a name, and…"
Shane didn't know how to finish that sentence, so he let it trail off. And it felt so unfair. And I got more angry than I had any reason to. And I hate that I can't go one game without my sex life being brought up in some way. And it's happened a million other times, so why should I have cared on this one specific occasion?
Over the course of the first half of his fifth season on the Centaurs, Shane considers retirement, homophobia, his public life, family, and his legacy. He also gets a tooth knocked out, visits the beach, and is repeatedly pissed off by how hot his husband is.
