can I get a “"It's time to stop lying to ourselves." friends to lovers with Luke Hughes? if not, no big deal, I just think the idea is cute :)

A Late Night Swim

“Luke” she leaned over his sleeping frame, “wake up” He shook his head before wrapping his arms around her legs and pulling her into the bed next to him, “shush, let me sleep” he mumbled as he tucked her under his chin. “But moosey, there’s fireworks”

A groan left his lips as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes, a grin on her face as she got comfortable in his hold, “what time is it?” “It’s nearly ten, and your mom wants us to get down to the dock in time for fireworks” she ruffled his hair, brushing the strands out of his eyes and tucking them behind his ears before peeling the blanket off of them.

“I’m borrowing a sweater,” she said kissing him on the temple before getting up from the warm bed and rummaging through his drawers. Luke laughed as he sat up, “I think you meant to ask ‘may I borrow a sweater’” he joked as she furrowed her brows. “No I don’t think so,” she said taking him by the hand and attempting to pull him out of bed.

“Look who finally joined us” Jake joked as he passed her a beer, a cheery grin on her face as she sat down in between Quinn and a grumpy Luke. She passed the bottle over to the much taller boy who opened it up with his teeth, gaining a slap on the arm from Ellen and a scolding, “I wouldn’t have taken so long to get down here if Luke would get out of bed” “I was tired!” He defended himself as the rest of them ignore his reasoning.

Ellen grinned as she liked at her three boys and honorary daughter who sat huddled up on the bench, “picture time!” she said in a sing-song voice as Jim handed her his phone. “Please mum no,” Quinn complained as he was pulled out of his conversation with his father.

“Smile,” she said ushering for the four to squeeze together, her grin grew as she watched Luke wrap his arms around his best friend partially pulling her into his lap to make more room for Jack on the bench. “Perfect,” she said showing them the pictures, “now was that so hard?”

The fireworks lasted about ten minutes before the Hughes family dispersed, all heading back into the house to get some sleep before the boat trip they had planned for the next day.

She leaned up against Luke, their feet dangling in the water as they sat in silence on the dock. She looked from the moonlit sky to Luke who nursed his beer, tired eyes as he watched the gentle waves of the water.

She stood up and took off Luke’s sweater and shorts, leaving her clad in a bra and underwear. “What are you doing?” he asked as she smiled down at him before jumping in. She emerged from the water with a smile on her face, “that was an impulsive act” she grinned as she swam further away from the dock, “fuck it’s cold.”

Luke shook his head, mesmerized by her, the way that she giggled at her own antics. The moonlight hit the water exactly where she swam, illuminating her as he contemplated jumping in after her. He stood up quickly and rid himself of his t-shirt, his swim shorts were still on from their swim earlier that morning.

He dove in after her, his hands finding the dips on her torso as he popped out from under the water. Her hand found his shoulder to hold onto as he pushed them away from the dock. Her finger played with the gold chain that hung loosely from his neck, a gift she’d given him after his draft. Her eyes stuck on his as he darted all over her face, both fighting off the urge to say something.

Her legs wrapped around his waist as she held onto him, “you have a staring problem Hughes” she whispered as his eyes caught her, not daring to look away, too scared that if he does she’ll stop looking at him with such sweet adoration. “I can’t help it,” he said lowly, his free hand moving the wet strands of hair from her out of her face as his eyes flickered from her eyes to her lips, “you always have my full attention”.

He grinned, slightly biting the inside of his cheek, her lips parted with excitement as she leaned forwards and smashed her’s on his. Ignoring the salty taste from the water on their tongues as his hand travelled from her hip down to where her ass met her thigh, hiking her up to get her as close as humanly possible. She lightly bit his bottom lip as he groaned into her mouth, her stomach in knots as she pulled away.

“It's time to stop lying to ourselves?” He mumbled against her skin, a slanted grin pulling at his lips as she nodded and gently kissed him once more. “I really like you Luke” she smiled as her fingers untangled themselves from his wet curls. “I really like you too, if you couldn’t already tell” he smirked as his free hand fixed the twisted strap of her bra.

“Mom wants to go to bed, please stop eating each other faces and get inside,” Quinn said appearing on the dock making the two teens startle and jump as far away as possible from each other. “You scared the shit outta me Huggy,” she said splashing water at him. “Well maybe if you didn’t have your tongue down my brother’s throat you might have been a little more alert, y/n/n,” he said tauntingly with a grin and a wink before heading back into the house, ignoring the laughter of the two as they got out of the water.

right where you left me ft. tyler duke

Friends break up, friends get married strangers get born, strangers get buried

tyler and his childhood best friend had finally gotten together during their first year of college. they both attended osu together it being both of their dream schools. she attended every on of his games and he attended all of her events. she was a smart girl always getting awards and he never missed one of them. she helped him study to maintain good grades and he was her emotional support.

Trends change, rumors fly through new skies

everything was perfect. the first year of college was one of the best, especially since tyler finally got the courage to get his girl. but towards the end of his hockey season there were rumors of tyler transferring. the young y/n never wanted to bring it up because tyler would never leave. but little did she know the rumors were true.

Help, I'm still at the restaurant still sitting in a corner I haunt cross-legged in the dim light they say, "What a sad sight”

every saturday night was date night. the two were at their normal go to diner for a date. celebrating the good of the end of Tyler’s season. as much as y/n didn’t want to bring up the rumors it was eating her alive.

“ty, are you transferring to umich?” and he paused midway of eating setting his utensils down looking down. that was enough for her answer. she got up placing some money on the table before leaving. she was about to lose the man who taught her what real love was.

You left me no choice but to stay here forever

tyler came by to her dorm the next morning to talk. “look i don’t want you to give up your dreams just because i am moving. osu was always your dream school since we were both little. yes it was mines but my main dream was to play hockey with dylan. you’re my world y/n but i don’t want to be in the way of your dreams. we’re over.”

Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion? breakups happen every day, you don't have to lose it

she tried her best to continue going on with life. during her second year her grades slipped. she stopped caring about school. she stopped caring about herself. she still went to the diner every Saturday night in hopes he’d be there one day.

I, I stayed there dust collected on my pinned-up hair

she couldn’t bear going to any of the hockey games. although she became friends with some of tylers old teammates, she still couldn’t pull herself together to go. they felt awful. they knew how hard the break up was. what she didn’t know that tyler would ask them how shes doing. he felt terrible. his old teammates didn’t sugar coat her state she was in. they were honest. tyler went through the worst being away from his girl.

And it's been so long but if you ever think you got it wrong I'm right where you left me

sophmore year was coming to an end. so was hockey season. but of course the one year of tyler and y/n being over ended up on the day where umich was in town for a game. it was on a saturday night and y/n didn’t bother going. instead she sat in the corner booth where her and tyler shared their first kiss, where he took her on their first date, where he officially asked her to be his. where all their happy memories laid until the rumors of him leaving was confirmed. thats when the once happy corner booth turned into a nightmare. she hadn’t realized how long she was there until one of the workers who always served her and tyler found her sleeping and asked her if everything’s alright. to which she said everything was fine and paid for her bill and as soon as she got up to leave she saw him. her person was here for the first time in way too long.

Did Luke or Remi date anyone when attending UMICH or how were their past relationships like?

during high school:

remi dated a guy in her freshman year of high school, he was sweet but moved away so they broke it off.

during the summer of junior year, she met someone. they hit it off and had a fling but nothing too serious

her sophomore and senior year, she was single

now for luke, i like to say he dated just one girl during his sophmore year and that’s it. they didn’t even last a month before his gf broke it off.

freshman year of college:

remi met a guy during her econ class. they talked for about three months before the two made it official. they only lasted 2 months.

remi hated those two months.

the two would constantly argue and would make up with sex. she never wanted anything like that but it happened.

luke, however, only went out on dates a couple of times but none of his dates seemed to be right for him. that was until he met remi (again).

can we talk abt soph yn and nick maybe when he was still at umich and after like a really big win they go to a party and there all just celebrating and having the best time

YES

I miss sophmore y/n——

———————————————————————————-

You softly smiled at Nick from across the room, him shooting you a wink as he entertained his teammates.

“You having a good time?” Nolan asked as he sat down beside you, “You seem a little down.”

“Well Moyle, if you must know, I was hoping to have a little alone time with my boyfriend but you drug his ass here meaning he brought me too.” You said as you swirled the drink in your hand.

“Okay, too much information there, but he’ll be done soon and then he’ll be all yours.” He chuckled, “you need to have a good time though.” He said as he grabbed your hand, pulling you up to dance before yelling towards Nick, “I’m stealing her for a while.”

Nick waved him off, laughing as you mouthed ‘help me’ to your loving boyfriend.

lol I don't necessarily disagree with the other anon about Luke but like bffr Luke could not give a shit about finishing the semester at umich after their season ended. He's said in interviews that he's not a big school guy (with the athletic and it was obvious in that one umich monday question). Plus he didn't declare a major as a SOPHMORE hahaha .... buddy couldn't care less about school. As soon as NJD was ready for him he bounded.

Further, like you do realize you can only dress a finite number of people? He's not gonna get a 30s tryout or whatever at the expense of not dressing someone else lmao. Who are you suggesting that they scratch so they dress Luke?

people are salty tonight

time to grab popcorn (oh wait i’m allergic to corn) so i will grab m&m’s 🍿🥤

there are thirteen freshmen (or maybe twelve with hunter brzustewicz gone to the OHL) this year, so it’s likely they’ll fill in the empty spots. at very least, overagers like luca fantilli probably won’t want to live in dorms…i’m rooting for a fantilli brothers/mackie teamup. but i think most of them will probably live in dorms like last years’ class! i think the only reason there were so many hockey houses at umich in the past two years was because of that covid outbreak in the sophmores’ freshman year. mackie was the only freshman that lived in a hockey house last year…

i think you're onto something, anon, i could see the fantilli bros sliding into castle black. personally i cannot wait to see who voluntarily lives with luke hughes.

Wait I’m actually so upset. I thought luke was a sophmore bc that’s what he would be where I live and my actual dream school is umich and I want to study sports management bc that’s what my brother does at university of delaware and it actually sounds so interesting. And i was like omg what if I meet Luke at umich bc we will both be freshman but never mind lol:((

he’d be a sophomore for me as well so that definitely threw me off. but! girl if you ho to umich you could possibly get an internship with the umich hockey team and be ready for when luke gets there!

🪷: “i’d do anything for you” with luke hughes and enemies to lovers

My Protector

Warnings: Alcohol, a creepy guy at a party, lmk if anything else :)

Nolan and Nick had messaged her a few days earlier about a party. A promise of free liquor if she attends to celebrate a win that the boys all collectively decided to celebrate once the weekend hit. The party was massive, per usual, with too many bodies squished into a single room as young drunk adults danced along to old Kesha songs, slurring the words as the music blared throughout the living room and kitchen.

She’d met Jeremy no longer than half an hour ago, he’d been in need of a beer-pong partner and a mutual friend had deemed her the queen of the game. So when the offer obliged her to join them in a game of partnered pong she couldn't resist the urge to show off her talents.

Jeremy had a cute smile, but the haze in his eyes from the liquor in his system was enough to warn her to keep a nice friendly distance between them. He on the other hand had other plans for the night, his hands had been everywhere except to himself as he attached himself to her hip.

His fingers gripped the flesh of her exposed midriff as she searched the party for some sort of familiarity, the game was long over but Jeremy had not taken the hint that she was trying to rid of him. “Dude you’re pinching my skin,” she said pushing his hand away, she knew he was harmless, but his constant presence was beginning to aggravate her.

His hand found the small of her back as she walked faster, his touch chasing right after her. She stopped in place, her eyes looking for Luca, Ethan, literally any of the boys whom she knew would help her out of the situation she currently found herself in. And there he stood, the six-foot-tall blonde, a grin on his face as he whispered something in another girl’s ear.

Luke Hughes was not her closest friend, “friends” was barely a word she could use to describe their relationship that revolved strongly around harsh glares and witty comments. But he was tall, intimidating, and hot, so his help would greatly be appreciated.

But there she stood in a sea full of drunk teens, staring at him, hoping to catch his attention as Jeremy tried to persuade her away from the party for some “much-needed alone time” as he put it. “I’m really not interested,” she urged through a clenched jaw as she watched Luke finally look her way, her pulling on Jeremy ceased as she mainly focused on getting towards Luke as quickly as possible.

His brows furrowed as he watched her shake her head at the unknown boy's advances, “excuse me for a moment” Luke paused his conversation and stood up from leaning up against the countertop.

“You should know I find a girl who won’t give it up easily much more attractive” Jeremy whispered in her ear making her shy away even further from him.

She dragged the boy through the crowd and ended up running right into Luke’s chest as he placed an arm around her shoulder protectively, his free hand shaking the random boy’s hands off of her forearm that had been red from the tight grasp. “Jeremy this is my…” she looked up at Luke who smirked down at her. “I’m her boyfriend” he finished her sentence and glared as he watched the realization settle on Jeremy’s face.

“You should really tell your girlfriend to stop slutting around if she has a boyfriend” he spat out making the girl’s jaw drop. “Oh fuck you,” she said defensively as Luke wounded his arm up and punched the guy right in the side of the face.

Jeremy slowly collected himself before walking away from the couple before any more damage was done to his head. “You just punched him?” “That’s what you’re worried about?” he deadpanned and took her by the hand and pulled her up the stairs to Nolan’s room which had been left unoccupied.

“Are you okay?” he asked with a concerned tone as he examined her for any signs that she had been hurt “I’m fine, he was mostly harmless” “Mostly isn’t good enough,” he said looking at her palm that had nail indents on them, “was that him?” he took her hands into his looking down at her palms. “That was just my anxiety”

She stood there awkwardly, enjoying the tingling feeling that his touch gave her as he ran his thumb across the palm of her hand. She pulled her hands from his grasp and wrapped her arms awkwardly around his torso to pull herself into his chest. “I know we argue a lot, and we don’t always get along but thank you Luke” she mumbled into his clothed chest as she wrapped his arms around her, holding her closer to him. “I’d do anything for you“ he mumbled as one of his hands found the back of her head.

He felt slightly dizzy as his fingers tangled in her hair, “what kind of fake boyfriend would I be if I wasn’t protecting my girl”

Chapter two— road trips and quiet mornings

Au Masterlist!!

“You are sure you packed everything?” Philippe asked rummaging through Florence’s diaper bag once again, his tone slightly panicked as he watch her begin packing her small duffle bag for her own clothes. “Yes Phil, we have everything, you checked twice already” She stopped in her tracks to get him to look at her for a sec, her hands squeezing his shoulders as she looked at his worried face, “we are only going two hours away from town, for three days, I’ll be at the Hughes house, we will be safe and fine” she gently patted his shoulder as he nodded. “Ethan, Mark, and I are going in one car, a safe car, and the others are taking Luke’s car” she reminded him, knowing that he trusted Mark’s driving enough for his daughter and best friend, “if we have any problems over the weekend I have your number, I will call, but I promise you we will be fine” she nodded slowly and pulled him into a hug as he hummed in agreement.

A knock on the door startled them out of their moment, “I'll go get that,” he said followed by a sigh as she squeezed him one more time, a smile danced on his lips as she ruffled his hair, pulling away from his touch She grabbed his hand before he could fully walk away, his gaze directing from their interlocked fingers up to her face, “when you’re done can you grab Flo from her crib so I can change her and get ready to get this show on the road?” She batted her lashes as he rolled his eyes and nodded. “You sound like a middle-aged man” He let go of her hand. a wide grin grew on her lips as she ushered him out of her bedroom, “I’m your favourite daddy, don’t lie!”

Phil ran downstairs quickly, and the silhouette of a man could be seen behind the door, “hey man” Phil gave the guy a tight-lipped smile as he opened the door to Mark who nodded quietly at him. “Is she ready to go?” “Just give her a few minutes to change Flo and finish packing” Phil let the sophomore into the house, an awkward tension between the two as Mark nodded once again. “No rush,” he said lowly as Phil made his way up the stairs to retrieve his daughter.

Florence whined as she leaned her forehead against her father's shoulder, tired tears rolling down her cheeks as Phil mumbled ‘sorrys’ to the little one, a sad smile on her face as she walked into her mom's room, “she was not happy getting up,” he said with a sad frown as he rocked her, his hand soothingly rubbing circles into her back. “She can sleep in the car” She smiled softly as she reached out to take Flo from his hold, Philippe taking a step away from her and clutching baby closer to his chest. “You can have her in a second, just let me hold her for a moment” he whispered into the crown of Florence's head, a grin on his face as he played with the short ginger curls growing on her head, placing one last kiss to her little nose before handing her over, “ okay you can have her now.” She smiled and took Flo right out of his grasp, “You’re a big softy” she said tauntingly as he handed her a clean diaper and a fresh change of clothes for her to put on the baby. “I am and I take pride in it” He grinned and took Flo’s bag down to the entranceway.

“Mark we need to chat,” Phil said as he got to the bottom step of the stairs, a stern look on his face as he placed the baby’s bag in marks hands. “You’ve given me the long speech a handful of times now, while drive I must remember that I have precious cargo on board, I know Phil” He leant up against the dorm frame, “I'm not gonna let anything happen to either of them, you have my word” sincerity lacing his tone as he watched Phil’s expression soften. “Good, that’s all I needed to hear”

Flo’s loud babbles could be heard as she and her mother walked down the stairs, small suitcase in hand and smiles on their faces as they saw Marl, “you guys ready?” “We are!” She said with a smile turning to Phil one last time and handing over Flo, “Give your daughter a kiss goodbye” she said as he gratefully took her into his arms, his other arm wrapping around her a pulling her into a hug as he kissed Flo’s cheek. “See you in a few days, tell Eddy I say hi,” he said pulling away from the woman and passing her baby back to her, a smile on his face as he looked to Mark and handed him the last suitcase. “Yes sir” Mark smiled and nodded, as he opened the front door to go and put the bags in the trunk of his car, while the woman put Flo in her car seat.

“How was the departure from Mama Lapointe?” Ethan said looking at Phil who was watching the woman set up Flo’s car seat and secure her into the car safely. She let out a huff as she finished buckling the baby in, “he was fine, he also says hello Ethan’s face broke out into a smile as he turned to look into the backseat of the car, his hand over his heart as “awe he thinks of me”

-❀-

“Oh my babies,” Ellen said as she swung the front door open, the young adults not even on the front porch yet as she smiles all at them, Jim’s attempt to get her to stop smothering them died down as Dylan ran straight into her arms and hugged her. Luke rolled his eyes and placed his bag on the ground as she pulled him to the next hug, swaying him back and forth, “Mom they’re not even your kids.” “I feed them on holidays, they text me for advice, I've done their laundry, they’re honorary Hughes” She grinned as she made Mark her next victim, hugging him tightly after fixing the stray hairs that fell into his face. “Suck it Hughesy,” Mark whispered over Ellen's shoulder as he tightly hugged her back, gaining laughter from everyone but Luke who rolled his eyes dramatically.

Ellen pulled the girl into a hug after she made her rounds with the boys a grin on her face as she looked down at the car seat with the sleeping baby, “Now pass me the baby before I crumble” “She’s going through that phase of not being able to get a full nights sleep, so I apologize if she’s cranky” the woman bent down and unbuckled Florence from her car seat, a tiny yawn leaving her lips and she handed the half-asleep baby off to Ellen. “God she looks just like you,” she said softly as Florence rested her chubby cheek against Ellen’s arm, her eyes shutting again as she got comfortable in Ellen's grasp, “why are the four of you still here, go away so she and I can catch up” Ellen looked up from the baby to the four boys who all softly smiled at the baby. Luke was the first one to pull out of the daze and back into reality, “God you don't hold back Mom,” he said in a sour tone as he grabbed his bags and headed back into the house, the rest of the boys following behind him, laughing at Mark as he carried his own bags along with the girls, struggling as the rest of them watched his agony.

A small smile worked her way onto the girl's lips as she watched him struggle, asking him a handful of times if she could take at least one bag from him, but she was met with a hard no each time she asked. Ellen looked at her son with knowing eyes, and then to Mark and the girl who was standing with flushed cheeks. Luke shrugged and turned his attention back to Mark who had now made it up the porch steps and into the front door.

“How’s being a mom?” Ellen said as they ventured to the empty living room. The girl took a seat in one of the armchairs, as Ellen cooed again over the sleeping baby, “It’s everything I expected it to be, but it's so worth it,” she grinned as she looked at her sleeping daughter. “I bet, the world's cutest baby and a billion babysitters” Ellen jokes as she nodded out to the backyard where the four boys stood with Jim, the barbecue going on as they joked around with one of another “Phil doesn’t let them do much babysitting” she grinned now pointing at Ethan and Duker who were pushing each other around, a fake argument going on as Jim, Mark, and Luke watched them begin to wrestle, “he says that they barely know how to handle a puck, they aren’t allowed to handle his baby,” her fingers doing air quotes as her brows raised at the statement. “Do you ever get tired of them using hockey analogies?” Ellen asked with a laugh, the face the young girl was making felt all too familiar, and watching as the young girl cringed. “Yes! Literally every conversation that doesn’t have to do with hockey they bring it up metaphorically” she exclaimed, “and it's literally all of them, it's like an epidemic” She grinned, knowing that someone finally felt her pain.

The older woman nodded as she felt the small baby wiggle in her hold, her eyes finally open looking up at Ellen as she gave the woman a gummy smile, “So are you and Phil?” “That’s never been a thing and is never gonna be a thing” the young girl cut her question short as she shook her head, “he wants it to be, but it's not mutual,” she said with a sigh. The older woman nodded once again as she looked out the window at the boys, “I see, so Mark?” “That’s also not a thing,” she said with a tight-lipped smile looking at an unconvinced Ellen, “ “But you have mutual feelings?” Ellen questioned with a smirk as the girl flushed red and shook her head, her eyes landing once again on the boy who sat outside, beer now in his hand as he joked around with Ethan, a smile dancing on his face as he caught her looking at him and gave her a little wave. “Marks a really good friend.”

“Honey I hear it all from the boys,” Ellen shook her head with a dry laugh, she stood up to hand the baby back to her mom, “I know how he feels about you, and I can clearly see how you feel” Flo babbled as she tangled her little hand in her mother's hair. “I don't know what they’ve been telling you but there’s nothing going on there, not now,” she took a moment to pause and fix Flo’s position in her arms “and probably not ever” “You said probably.” “Ellen I’m a walking complicated situation, I'm not going to pull him down with me,” she said with a sigh, clearly a little upset by the topic, Ellen nodded and patted the girl on the shoulder before heading into the kitchen to set the table for dinner.

-❀-

She’d spent the rest of the day in the garden with the boys, the four boys trading in their beers to watch Flo crawl around in the grass. Laughter chased her around as she’d crawl from boy to boy, each time she would successfully make it to one they’d lift her up and smother her with love and put her back in the grass. This was one of those moments that made it all worth the effort, all the hard days, the tears, the nights where Phil would be on roadies leaving her and Steve to fend off the crying and the teething that Flo was going through.

Now she sat upright against her bed frame, having a baby gave her the perks of not having to share a room with any of the boys. A room she had presumed was Quinn’s judging by all of the photos of him and his friends that littered the walls. Flo laid against her chest, nursing a bottle as she was lulled into comfort by the rise and fall of her mother's chest.

Dylan snuck into the room, a soft smile on his face as he knocked gently on the door, “want to watch a movie with us?” “Depends on which one…” “Wolf of Wall Street I think” he grinned, his cheeks turning a hue of pink, knowing that the girl was going to chirp them once again about this movie. “The four of you really need to let that crush on Margot Robbie go” she mused as she handed him the empty bottle to put on the dresser and she put Flo over her shoulder to burp her. “Never” he whispered as he grabbed a spit-up rag out of the diaper bag and passed it to her.

“So are you going to join us?” He asked once more while heading to the door. The girl pretended to think for a second and then broke out into a smile, “yeah just let me get her settled in her crib,” she motioned to the baby who now was laying on her back on the bed, ready to get changed into a fresh onesie and get into bed. “Sounds good,” he smiled back and walked out the door, freezing once he got out the door and turning around to the girls once more, “You want popcorn?” “Yes please”

“Okay little Miss Flo let's call your daddy and then get you in bed” She smiled as she grabbed a fresh diaper and a new set of pyjamas, she dialled Phil's number and put it on speaker on the bed next to the baby. It rand twice before he picked up, “Hey,” she said softly, “I'm just putting her down and thought you might wanna say goodnight,” she hit the face time button and waited as his face appeared on the screen. A pout rested on his lips as she smiled at him, a grin on her lips as she showed him the little Michigan onesie that Ellen gifted her earlier in the day.

“You’re never allowed to leave me here with these three again, I’m miserable” he whined as he watched his daughter kicking her little feet at the sound of his voice, a squeal erupting from her as her mother picked her up and placed her in her lap so Flo could see her dad. Flo’s lips wobbled as she tried to reach out for the phone, little fingers running over Phil's face as she cried, “I think she misses you just as much” “Don’t say stuff like that, I will drive the two hours there just to tuck her in.”

“The two of you will survive the next two nights,” the woman smiled and brought the phone back down from her face so Flo could see him one last time, “now say goodnight, she’s getting fussy.” “Night! Love you guys” He grinned as she brought the camera back up so he could see her face. “We love you too, now have fun with the boys,” she said as she placed the phone back down on the bed to place Flo in her travel crib, and tucked her in with the stuffed animal that Mark had given her when she was first born. She picked up the phone back up to show Florence tucked into bed, “I probably won’t, you two don't have too much fun without me” “We definitely will” she said with a grin and hung up before he could reply, she leant over the edge of the crib and placed one last kiss on her daughter's temple before heading to the upstairs den where all of the boys sat in front of the tv, the movie started and paused as they awaited her arrival.

She walked into the living room and frowned as she looked around at the lack of seating for her, her face unamused as she watched the boys fight over who was holding their shared popcorn bowl, “move over” she said with her mom's voice, sternly pointing for Ethan to move over. “Here there’s room next to me,” Mark said pushing up against the end of the couch to create more room for her. He offered her some popcorn as she squeezed in between Luke and him, a smile on his face as she shared her blanket with him, “see look at how nice Mark is to me,” she grinned as she leaned up against him. “That’s because he’s in love with you,” Dylan said in a sing-song voice, his eyebrows wiggling as his hands formed a Hearst shape. “Shut up” She threw the throw pillow in between her and Luke at him, “What you're not going to deny it?” She looked up at Mark as he shrugged with a smug look on his face. “Love is a strong word, but you know how I feel,” he said smoothly as he wrapped his arm around the back of the couch, behind her head and she rolled her eyes. “You never give up, do you?”

The movie started shortly after that, all of the boys growing quiet as soon as Ethan pressed play. They occasionally chirped each other as that movie went on, but all went quiet when Margot Robbie was on the screen, it was almost pathetic how the boys gawked at her. “Okay wait I kinda get the Margot Robbie hype” she mumbled up to Mark as the blonde on the screen shamelessly flirts with Leo’s character, Mark smiled as he looked at the woman under his arm, his brows raised as his gaze flickered between the woman on the screen and her suggestively. “Don’t look at me like that you perv, she’s just pretty” she whispered and smacked him in the chest.

-❀-

The girl awoke abruptly as the person she was laying on top of coughed, her eyes shooting open to see Mark's face just inches from hers, an innocent look on his face as the arms that wrapped around her waist tightened. She smiled for a second before it dawned on her, she struggled to get out of his hold, “don't,” he mumbled, his voice hoarse with sleep as she groaned and grabbed his face to force him awake “I have to get up, I need to get Flo” she said as his eyes slowly opened, registering the position they were in, the arms that were holding her down was now letting go of her to rub the sleep out of his eyes. “Oh okay,” he said as she got up off of him, and start top as she left the living room in search of her daughter, hoping that she slept through the night and wasn’t in need of her.

“Oh, hey Ethan,” she said looking at the boy who was snuggled in her bed with Florence on his chest, “why are you in my bed” “You looked too comfy to wake up, but I knew she was gonna need someone throughout the night” he smiled and patted the baby on the back as she babbled, teething rings in her hands as rested on Ethan. “You left me out there,” she whisper-yelled at the boy, her cheeks red with embarrassment. “You looked peaceful,” he shrugged, “and you were all snuggled up with Mark, didn’t want to ruin the moment” She flicked him in the middle of the forehead as she crossed her arms over her chest

“Give me my daughter, now,” she said and pointed for him to leave, the smirk on his lips never faltered, she was giving him just the reaction he wanted. “Someone woke up on the wrong side of the couch” he taunted as he handed Florence over to her. A shirtless mark walked into the room and motioned for the boy to quit torturing her, “Ethan quit bothering her” “Why aren’t you wearing a shirt?” She asked, confusion lacing her voice, she never understood how these boys just rid themselves of their shirts with no actual reason behind it, not that she was really complaining. “You guys are no fun” Ethan threw his hands up as he headed to his and Mark’s room.

The girl stood in place for a second, her hand gently rubbing daughter's back as she waited for the flush on her cheeks to disappear. She let out a quiet sigh as she searched her daughter's suitcase for an outfit for the day. Mark still stood in the doorway, her brows furrowed as she waited for him to leave, “Here you let me change her, and you can go make her a bottle” he said motioning for her to go, she stared at him for a sec before shaking her head and motioning for him to leave, “just let me help you” he said softly, waiting for her to either accept or get mad. “I really don’t need it Mark” She sighed and stopped her actions to properly look at him, her gaze was met with a soft expression as he motioned for her to hand the baby clothes over. “I know you don’t need it, but I'm offering,” he said, watching as she dug through her bag for her container of formula and a clean bottle, placing the clothes in the boy's hands as she headed to the kitchen, “see accepting help isn’t too hard” he called out as she walked down the hallway.

Mark finished changing her quickly, he now sat at the kitchen table, and Flo propped up on the edge of the table as he supported her up to make sure she didn’t fall. A smile on his face as he had a conversation with the baby, Flo giggled loudly as he squished her cheeks. The woman turned around as she finished making her daughter's bottle, an unreadable expression sat on her face as she watched the boy whisper to the baby who was erupting in a fit of laughs. “You like what you see?” Luke snuck up behind her watching as she watched Mark, his brows wiggling and his tone was laced with a taunting tone “Luke please not right now,” she mumbled as she tested the temperature of the milk on her wrist and made her way over to her daughter

She softly smiled as she stood in front of the pair, Flo now rested against his chest her little fingers intertwined in his hair as he gently spoke to her, “do you want to feed her?” The woman asked, extending the bottle to the boy with a light smile, “she looks a little too comfy in your arms to move.” “Like mother like daughter,” he said smugly making her face drop, Mark was notorious for ruining the moment. “You disgust me,” she mused, and he laughed and took the bottle from her grasp.

Flo lay contently in his hold, spit running down her chin as she drank, “Can you hand me the spit-up rag?” He asked, looking up at the woman who seemed in a daze, she blinked hard and nodded her head. “Here” she mumbled and passed him the cloth, returning back to watching him take care of her daughter, “thanks for your help,” she said just above a whisper as the rest of the boys migrated into the kitchen to make breakfast. “No need to thank me,” he tapped her on the thigh and smiled as she smiled back.

I didn't proof read this, so it there are mistakes I'm not that sorry <3

Prologue— we're just getting started

Au Master list

This is an eventual Mark Estapa x Reader story, very much a slow-burn romance

It started with intense nausea, waves of sickness rolling over her for moments at a time and it ended with her pacing around the bathroom of the Umich hockey senior house with the pregnancy test sitting on the counter, the timer for three minutes set as she watched the countdown begin. Second, by second her stomach dropped with each tick of the clock.

Her roommates had been a little too overbearing as of late due to her 'sickness', so sure this little illness was the result of a largely regretted hookup with her best friend, meaning that taking this test in the comfort of her apartment wasn't an option right now. Instead, she hid away from the world in a bathroom that reeked of axe body spray and had dirty clothes all over the floor.

None of this was in her life plan, it wasn't write-in her five-year plan that she promised a naive and younger version of herself. This scenario was written in the stars, fate running through her veins as she stared from the count down back at the test.

All of the boys exited the house about five minutes prior, screams of endearment to the 'sick' girl as they exited the house and headed off to their afternoon practice all except for Nolan and Nick who could now be heard downstairs, voices sounding as the door slammed behind them. A greasy 'pick me up' breakfast in their clutch, promising a McMuffin was just the perfect remedy to help settle her stomach after a morning of puking her guts up in their bathroom.

Nurse Nolan and Nick were screaming once again for her to come to join them downstairs, promises of coffee and food to lure her from her hiding spot. "If you wait any longer the ice in your coffee is gonna melt!" Nick yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "A little patience would be nice blanks" she yelled out, surprised that her voice was able to reach above a choked whisper.

She stared down at the piece of plastic for a second, her heart beating against the cage of her chest like it was trying to break free of its constraints, loud thuds filled her ears as the timer hit ten seconds, then five, three. And then the world went silent, the thuds turned into rings, and in a split second, the sign turned from a loading symbol to a big fat positive sign.

The little computerized screen mocked her. '2-3 weeks' It was like a slap straight to the face. The test dropped from her hands back onto the counter as she fell to her knees, finding her head hung over the toilet once more.

Nolan heard a loud bang come from upstairs, followed by the familiar sounds of agony as she threw up. But this time it ended differently, there was no call out to let the boys know that she was okay, she went silent and then followed it with muffled cries making Nick stop in his tracks and head up the stairs.

"You okay in there?" he asked as he knocked gently on the door, his hand fumbling with the locked knob as a beat of silence passed. “I did something stupid,” she said through the door, her voice already giving up on her, she slowly opened the bathroom door and collapsed into nicks arms, gasping for air as he steadied himself, “like unbelievably stupid, and I need you to take me to the hospital,” she mumbled into the man's chest.

Nolan stood in the doorway of the bathroom his hands gripped the bottle of water harshly as a worried expression filled in his blank face, his stomach in knots as he watched the colour drain from her cheeks.

Nick's fingers gently raked through her hair as she shook uncontrollably into his frame, her fingers gripping at his workout shirt as he held her up to support her, gasping for air as she cried into him.

“What kind of stupid are we talking about, cause me and Nolan can fix anything” she pulled her face out from its hidden place under Nick's chin, worry-filled his face as he searched her for any signs of physical hurt. She cringed and handed Nolan the positive pregnancy test that was being held in her firm grip, "you can't fix this."

“Holy fuck”

She frowned with a sigh and leaned up against the bathroom counter, the sleeves of a sweater shed stolen from Kent being used as a tissue, wiping away the salty tears that kept rolling down her cheeks, her skin itching from the irritation. The mess of mascara under her eyes is smudged more as Nick uses his thumb to wipe some of it away, a light frown on his face as he pulled her back into his arms.

"I'm so unbelievably fucked Nick," she whispered as he pulled away to shake his head. "You're not doing this by yourself if that's what you're trying to imply," She knew exactly what he meant, if she was going through with this, every guy on the Umich hockey team was going through it too, she was one of them, and Nick was going to make sure that every guy knew that.

“Is there anyone you want us to get? Your mom? Maybe your secret lover...” Nick dragged out suspiciously waiting to see if she would spill who the father was. Her eyes went wide as a gasp left her lips, her stomach suddenly feeling in knots once again, “oh my god I have to tell Philippe” her hands came up to her mouth the muffle the incoming cries.

“You slept with Lapointe?!” the two best friends exclaimed in unison as she looked up at them with a glare, “sorry not the time” Nolan whispered and patted her shoulder. "you have the emotion support ability of a rock, y'know that?" Nick said elbowing Nolan to go and hug the girl.

“Philippe and I were a one-time thing, you guys had just done your first home game, and I had done a lot of pregaming” she shrugged defeatedly and took the test back from Nolan, her bottom lip now pulled between her teeth as he squeezed her up against his chest.

A small laugh left her mouth as she recalled the entire affair, "we were so drunk, I woke up the next morning alone, in Holtzy's bed and we never spoke about it again," she grinned remembering her run-in with Owen and Kent the next morning as she rolled out of Steve's room with no pants and no excuse but to come clean.

"You're telling me that you fucked Phil in Steve's bed! And half of the Sophomores know! This is gold, truly" Nick laughed gaining a smack from Nolan. "Who has a lack of emotional capacity now dickhead!"

Nolan took the girl by her shoulder and gently pried her away from him, looking her in the eyes, "are you sure it's his?" "Yeah, you haven't finally given into Estapa's flirting yet have you?" Nick grinned, he loved picking on her for Mark's, not-very-well-hidden crush on her, all the boy knew though that she harboured a little adoration for the freshman who couldn't take a hint to save his life She glared over at him, "I got pregnant, that doesn't entitle me to sleep with half of the Umich rooster" she frowned as Nick grinned back all her.

"But I'm positive that it's Phils, I haven't had sex with anyone in like six months" a bitter-sweet smile on her face as Nolan led her out of the bathroom to get ready to head to the hospital

-❀-

"It's mine isn't it?" Philippe mumbled as she walked into the kitchen, a tired expression on her face as she feigned sleep, praying that a cup of tea or something could soothe her to sleep. She'd recently moved into the spare room in the senior's house after much begging from Nick. Philippe had grown suspicious of the boys new found protectiveness over the girl, his inkling had been settled after overhearing a call between Owen and Nick, solidifying and answering all of his questions,

"I was gonna- how did you-?" she stared at him, and sat at the kitchen table with barely any lights on, the mug in her hand fell to the floor making her jump, abandoning the idea of tea she cautiously moved closer to him.

She nodded gently trying to rack her brain around the fact that this conversation was about to happen. The make-it-or-break-it moment, she thought to herself as she stepped away from the man to grab a small piece of laminated paper, a six-week sonogram of their baby.

"Blanks called Owen while we were on the way to practice yesterday to ask if he could drive you to your ultrasound appointment" he whispered as his hands reached out to touch her, his vision was slightly blurry from the nerves. She stood in front of him, silent, not wanting to disrupt the peace. Her fingers gently racked through his curls that had been crushed with his hat and she placed the small photo in his palm. Begging eyes as she retreated away from him, a sad smile on her face as she watched his gaze soften at the tiny black and white photo.

The man's thumb ran over the little screening of the baby before looking back up at her, her face riddled with guilt as she waited for some sort of reaction. Quietly praying that his reaction was anything but negative, she didn't even need words, just some sort of reassurance,

His lips pulled into a small smile, watching as the worry in her chest deflected and she smiled back. He reached out for her hand, intertwining their fingers as he pulled her closer to him, "you call the shots here, okay, I will back you up a hundred percent of the time, you just gotta tell me the game plan" she rolled her eyes at his sports reference.

"Thank you" she whispered and leaned forward to gently kiss the top of his head, his hand found the small of her back, his hand brushing against her soft skin as he soothed the goosebumps on her skin, the two of them basking in silence for a moment longer.

"I think I'm going to keep it" she pulled away from his touch to look Philippe in the eyes, "I can't explain it, but this feels like something that I need to do" she whispered. "You don't have to explain to me" he mumbled back. "What I'm trying to say is that doesn't mean you have to be involved, I want you in the picture, but if you can't I understand" she gave him a sad lopsided smile, her fingers fixing the chain around his neck as his brows furrow. "No no, I'm going be here for you, and I'll always be there for them" he pulled her into his lap and hugged her tightly.

"I'm not gonna sit back and make you handle all of this alone," he said lowly as she cried into his neck, mumbled thank you leaving her lips as he squeezed her tighter

-❀-

Philippe grabbed his hockey bag and got ready to head him before Brendan grabbed him by the shoulder and pushed him back onto the bench, “sit down Lapointe we need to have a chat” Grano smiled softly as Philippe looked at the room to see the entire team staring at him

“Is everything okay?” he asked, his hand raking through his damp curls as his expression grew worried. “Hush I’m the one asking the questions,” Nick said sitting down next to him, obviously trying to intimidate the poor boy who grew nervous under the stares of his entire team

“Anyways we need to talk about your new-found situation” Nick smiled and looked around the room to the rest of the guys who waited for a response. “We’ve already discussed it,” Phil shrugged, his cheeks tinted a rose shade as he looked around at the room, all of the guys waiting for some sort of confirmation that he is in fact going to be a dad.

“Are you gonna marry her?” Mark was the first to speak up after the long pause of tense silence, Phil's eyes narrowed as he looked over to the boy. “Shut up,” KJ smacked him in the arm. “Be honest we are all thinking it!” Jay laughed which gained him a smack as well.

“She doesn’t want to be together romantically” Philippe shrugged and stared down at his feet, painfully aware of the awkward tension that now filled the air. “Good” Nolan chirped, with a big grin. “What’s that supposed to mean?” “I’m the one asking questions” The captain silenced both of the boys.

“Why are we doing this exactly?” Phil sighs and looks around the room at the freshmen who look equally as uncomfortable.

“We are just making sure your interests are where they should be,” Brendan grinned and pointed at the photo of the latest sonogram that happened to be Philippe's Lock Screen, “I mean Phil you’re going to be a dad, this is some life-changing shit!” “I know, and I’m all in, she knows that” “Good, that’s all we needed to hear” Nolan’s patted the boy on the back, a grin on his face as she gently shakes his fellow teammate's shoulders.

“Does this make him daddy?” Dylan joked from the far corner of the room making all of the boys erupt into cheers.

Nick turned to the boy who looked ready to make a run from the locker room as soon as possible, “we mainly just want you to know that we have your back, we’re your team, we’re brothers, so you or her need anything let us know” he nodded at the door, a sign for Phil to final go home to the girl waiting for him.

“Thanks, guys,” he said standing up and walking towards the door, but not before hearing a startling “TEAM BABY!” leave Brendan’s mouth.

-❀-

Championship season came and went, her boys were Big Ten Champs and managed to clinch a spot in the frozen four. But soon after came the time no one was looking forward to.

The boys were off to join the big leagues, literally.

“I’m so mad at you guys right now” she frowned as Matty hugged her once more, "but I'm also so proud of all of you" she smiled into his shoulder.

“We are the worst, we know” Owen mumbled as she walked over to hug him again. A smile spread across her face as she ruffled his outgrown hair, he looked up at her with a wide grin, “at least you’re self-aware.”

Everything was gonna be different, the boys that had been a constant in her life ever since orientation week was leaving. all of them leaving to be on different sides of the country.

"You still have Phil, Truscott, and Holtzy" Kent mumbled as she went over to him once again. All the boys cringed at the sentence as her face dropped, "you really think telling me that I'm stuck with the idiot who knocked me up and the other two smart asses is gonna fix it?" he hugged her to shut hut her up, swaying back and forth as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "I'm about to have a baby and you're all leaving me"

“You need anything ever, call okay,” Thomas said seriously, motioning to all the boys, "we will drop anything to come and fix it" All the boys nodded as she pouted at them, "I love you guys" she said as the tears started.

-❀-

Summer rolled around quickly meaning that it was time for her to head back to St. Clair, Michigan hometown to not only herself but also her favourite freshman Mark Estapa.

"Mark I swear to god drive so carefully," Philippe said putting her suitcase in the back of the frosh's car, "you have precious cargo on board, so help me god if I hear that something happened I will fly down here and kill you with my bare hands Estapa" he warned one last time before placing a kiss to her cheek and lowering himself to her stomach to whisper a few good words of affection.

She looked over to the boy awkwardly standing there and rolled her eyes, Mark smiled and waited for the man to be eye to eye with him once again, "I promise I’ll be careful, you have my word" he said before Philippe pulled him into one of those really awkward side hugs "Good, see you both in a few weeks," he said helping her into the car and shutting the door behind her.

She waved to him through the window before letting out a loud sigh. "he really took to that paternal instinct" Mark joked making her let out a groan her expression filled with annoyance at his already very overwhelming state of panic. "He's gonna be a good dad, he's just nervous" her expression and looked over to Mark who seemed really tense.

There was a question just sitting on the edge of his tongue, he knew it wasn't appropriate to be asking if the expecting mother was still single but since he first met her at a party during his frosh week, he knew he was done for, she was gonna have a chokehold on him until the moment she graduated.

"So are you guys like together now?" "God no," she laughed, he had tried to convince her that it could work out, but she knew it was just wishful thinking, "don't get me wrong he's great, but we just wouldn't work."

Mark nodded awkwardly, the rest of the drive was filled with small talk, and complaints about pregnancy hormones, mark ranted about how messy Ethan kept the dorm, and then they both bitched about the lack of plans that they had over the summer.

"thank you for the drive Mark" she grinned as he pulled up outside her house, she got out of the car and he followed after her, "what are you doing?" she asked as he opened the trunk. "I'm not gonna make a pregnant woman carry her own suitcase," he said like the answer was obvious, as he hoisted the bag out of the trunk and let her lead the way to the front door. "oh" she turned a light shade of pink, "thank you"

she made it to the front door, she hugged mark and bid him goodbye as her mom swung the door open making the two pull away from each other, "oh my god hun you're huge" she said excitedly before pulling her daughter into a hug. "mom this is Mark, Phil's teammate, he drove me home," she said as her mom smiled softly at him. "I remember Mark, I've seen him play," her mom grinned as she said her thanks to the boy and ushered her daughter inside.

"Y'know if it doesn't work out with Philippe, Mark is a cutie" her mom grinned at her as they walked into the kitchen. "Yeah, I guess he's cute" she shrugged and looked at her mom who laughed.

-❀-

Mark was sleeping comfortably wrapped up in the warmth of his comforter before the ringing of his phone startled him awake.

"Uh hello," his voice rasped with sleep as his eyes adjusted to the brightness of his phone screen. "she went into labour early, I need you to go the hospital and make sure she's okay please, I'm trying to get a flight but I won't be there until tomorrow at least" the voice on the other end sounded panicky and out of breath.

"What? who is this?" he looked down at the phone screen to see that it was nearly three in the morning. "Mark it's Phil, she is in labour, I need you to go there and just make sure that she's okay" "Oh shit, yeah I'm on my way, don't worry" he shot up right out of bed and headed straight into his closet.

The drive to the hospital felt like ages, and he didn't even know if she wanted him in the waiting room.

"oh mark honey" her mom pulled him into a hug, excitement running through her veins as she waited in line at the cafeteria for a coffee. "Philippe wanted me to behave to give him updates or something, he's a little nervous about the whole thing," Mark smiled as he bought her and himself a coffee. "He called to let us know, but I'll make sure to let her know that you're here, and well come get you when the baby is here, sound good" she smiled one last time before walking down the hallway.

After a long nap and a lot of groaning while trying to get comfortable on a metal hospital chair, three hours had passed, and a nurse dressed in pink scrubs walked up to the boy and gently tapped the sleeping boy, "Are you mark?" "Uh, yea?" "follow me" she ushered for him to trail behind her, tiredly walking up to the door, "she's in here," the lady said before opening the door and letting mark walk in before shutting the door behind him.

a little baby girl sat in her arms, bundled up in a small yellow blanket, contently sleeping again her chest. "You did that" he whispered as she motioned for him to come closer.

"You really didn't need to sleep out there Phil would have been fine" she mumbled as she looked up at him. "I wanted to, for him, I also wanted to make sure you're okay, plus I now get to rub it in everyone's face that I met it first" he joked as he finally looked at a really tired-looking new mom. "Her name is Florence, little Flo" she mumbled and brushed her thumb against her daughter's cheek, "it's my grandma's name" "It's pretty," he said awkwardly staring at the baby and then back at the mom, his fingers brushing the baby hairs out of her eyes.

"Go wash your hands and you can hold her" she whispered and looked over to the sink, a smile on her lips as she looked back at Mark. "Really? are you sure?" "you slept here overnight, it's the least I could do" she looked up at mark whose face broke out into a toothy smile.

She gently sat up a little to easily pass the baby over to mark, "just make sure to support her head" she whispered as she placed the small baby in his arms. "She looks like you" he mumbled, as he sat in the chair next to the hospital bed, "she has a little resemblance to Phil, but she's just as pretty as her Mama" he mumbled to the baby and then looked up.

An amused expression sat on her face, "you're really flirting with a woman who just gave birth?" "Did it work?" he joked, his fingers playing with the small onesie on the baby. "Not a chance" "It was worth a shot" he couldn't wipe the smile off of his face, a permanent grin on his lips and cheeks stained a light red as his gaze switched between her and the baby.

"I know we aren't that close, but if you or her ever need anything, I will be there always," he said gently looking down at the baby who made a content humming sound as she grabbed a hold of his finger. She looked down at him, her eyes tearful as she watched the two of them interact, "thank you, Mark"

I know it's kind of long and boring, but I just wanted to provide some sort of foundation for the whole series/ au!!

Hope you guys love it

reader has a breakdown ab something and mark is there

This was a little longer than intended

It’s their fourth year, and normalcy is starting to work its way back into the little family.

Philippe has moved on with his crush, realizing that Mom is happy with Mark and that maybe they were just meant to stay friends. He’s happy for Mom and Mark and had really matured in the past few months. The co-parents were back to being best friends once again, her moving in with Mark after dating for a few months helped relieve the strain that had been put on their friendship.

Philippe had let one of the sophomore’s girlfriends set him up with a girl who was seemingly super sweet, Jess was in her third year and was really good to Phil, she was super understanding of his situation and was extremely patient with him, even when it seemed like he was being the most shit boyfriend in the world.

She was perfect, in every aspect, except for the fact that she hated one of the most important individuals in his life. The woman wasn’t sure if it was because Jess saw her as a threat or if it was just because she hated the relationship that the two shared, but she knew that Phil’s girlfriend wanted nothing to do with her. So she held her tongue, she knew that this relationship was important to him, and he was accepting of her and Mark so she let the comments and stares roll off her back.

On the other hand, Mark hated listening to this girl make comments about his girlfriend’s parenting, her relationships, and other big things that the girl was insecure about. It was hard because he knew that she wanted to stay quiet, hoping that the tension between them would die off once she was no longer deemed a threat.

It all went to shit at the first hockey party of the year, the now Juniors decided to hold the first party of the year, meaning Mark, Ethan, and Dylan had accumulated as much beer as possible and were ready for a rager.

“Phil it’s no problem really,” she said trying to convince him to go out, “I heard Jess was going, go be with your girlfriend” She smiled as he rolled his eyes and sunk deeper into the couch cushion, his year-old daughter squished against his chest. “Y’know its okay for you to go out and have fun too” he deadpanned, “besides it’s my weekend with our daughter so I’m gonna sit here watch Disney movies and go to sleep at a reasonable time,” he said motioning to the paused movie on the screen, his new favourite ‘Tangled.’

“Boo you’re no fun” “I’m no fun? You need to go out and get sloppy drunk with your boyfriend, you’ve earned it!” He exclaimed and pointed towards the front door.

And that’s what led to now, the first real-time she’s been out and socialized since she had Florence.

“I forgot how good I was at beer pong” She smiled and turned to Luca whose jaw dropped, she had sunk the pong ball in 5 different cups on her first round. “Drink” she reminded the stunned boys with a smile, Gavin and Seamus who stood on the other side of the long table widened their eyes they took turns drinking the cups she had knocked off the table. “I like this version of you” Luca grinned as he high-fived her. “This feels like frosh year all over again,” she said as she watched both Seamus and Gavin throw the balls and miss the cups.

“Hey, Jess” Seamus greeted as she maneuvered her way around the kitchen, her friends just behind her as she searched the house for someone. She stopped and smiled at the two sophomores, “Oh hey boys, have you guys seen Phil?” “He not here, he’s at home with Flo” Gavin smiled and nodded over to the woman who stood at the other end of the table with a soft smile on her lips, awkward tension filling her chest.

“Why are you here?” Jess’ brows furrowed as she fully came to a stop and turned her whole body to the group. “I live here?” She said confused looking at the boys whom all shrugged at the weird feeling in the air.

She smiled innocently before ushering for her friends to continue looking for the rest of their group, “Shouldn’t you be the one with Flo, you are her mother?” “Philippe is with her, trust me she’s in good hands” she joked as the boys all smiled, everyone quietly praying that this interaction would end soon and put them all out of their misery. Jess smiled sweetly once more, “I’m just saying, you do put a lot of pressure on him, you think you’d at least let him go out with his friends once in a while” Luca’s jaw dropped and looked over to the girl standing next to him whose eyes just glossed over with tears, “Thank you for the suggestion Jess, really, I’ll take it into account next time I decide to put my needs over his and my daughters” her tone wavering between venomous and tearful as Jess nodded and walked away.

A laugh left the girl’s mouth as she shook her head, “I can’t believe she just said that to me” she said with a soft but shocked tone before excusing herself to go upstairs to her and Mark’s room.

Mark knocked gently on the door and opened it to see her sitting on the edge of her bed, changed into her pyjamas, looking up at Mark with smudged makeup under her eyes, “I can’t do a single thing for myself without feeling like I’m being judged for it” she said quietly as he sat next to her, his arms wrapped around her shoulders to pull her closer, “I feel like such a bad mom all the time lately.” “You’re allowed to have a life, I know you feel like you can’t, but you are allowed to have fun,” he said lowly as she nodded into his frame, her hands gently making their way around his torso as she hugs him, “and trust me there is no better mother out there, Flo is so lucky to have you as her mom, you cherish that little girl more than life itself”.

“Is there anything I can do to make it feel better?” He whispers, his fingers drawing circles on her back as she pulled away with a serious look on her face.

“Have you drank anything tonight?” He shook his head, “No, not yet” She smiled and placed a short kiss on his lips “Grab your keys, we need to go see Flo” She smiled and grabbed him by the hand to pull him to his feet.
