Pregnancy tests should have come with instructions for what to do after your entire life is split in half.

The box only told me how long to wait.

Three minutes. Only three minutes.

It did not say what to do when the three minutes ended and two pink lines appeared like a verdict from a universe with a very cruel sense of humor. It did not say whether to scream, cry, laugh, throw the test across the bathroom or sit very still until your body remembered how lungs worked.

It did not at all. It just

  • Icing The Heart   Chapter 21 Jaxon’s Pov

    The mood shifted sharply an hour later. Marcus had arrived. And Federal agents had escorted him upstairs. Agent Cole remained with him.A precaution I appreciated.Marcus entered the apartment looking like someone hadn't slept in days.His usually relaxed appearance had vanished completely. Dark circles lined his eyes. His shoulders were tense.The easy confidence that made him popular in every locker room had disappeared.For the first time since I'd known him, Marcus looked afraid.Rory stiffened immediately. To me, the reaction was understandable.Trust wasn't easily rebuilt after betrayal.Marcus stopped several feet away while his gaze settled on her. Then lowered briefly toward her stomach.Pain crossed his face. Genuine pain.bGuilt followed."I didn't know."The words were directed at Rory. She remained silent.Marcus swallowed. "I swear to God, Rory. I didn't know about the pregnancy."Her expression remained unreadable and she didn't speak. The silence stretched. And finally

    The photograph sat on Rory's phone screen like a loaded weapon.Lena was alive.At least, she appeared alive.She sat in a metal chair inside what looked like an abandoned warehouse. Her expression remained remarkably composed considering the circumstances. There were no visible injuries. No obvious signs of distress.That detail bothered me more than panic would have.Lena Brooks treated emotions the way surgeons treated unnecessary tissue. She removed them whenever possible.If Victor Shaw had managed to frighten her, then the situation was worse than any of us understood.I studied the image carefully.Years of hockey had taught me how to read details under pressure.The background. The shadows. The positioning.Anything. Everything.Rory stood beside me, staring at the screen.The apartment felt smaller than it had an hour ago.Outside, reporters continued shouting questions to anyone entering or leaving the building. The pregnancy story had already become national news. Sports ch

    The truth sat heavily between us. Jaxon relaxed against the kitchen island.For a moment, he looked exhausted. Not just physically. Soul-deep exhausted too. "Did you think I wouldn't want it?"The question caught me off guard.I looked at him. Really looked at him.The man who had spent weeks secretly building a case against the organization.The man who had taken a brutal hit to protect me.The man who had betrayed me before learning how much I mattered."No."His shoulders relaxed slightly."I knew you'd want the baby."The vulnerability in his expression nearly undid me."Then why?"I laughed softly.Not because anything was funny but because everything hurt."Because every decision felt impossible."His gaze softened. I continued before courage disappeared."One minute I was furious at you."The truth came easier now."The next minute I was remembering the cabin."His eyes closed briefly. "Rory.""I kept trying to hate you properly."The confession hung between us in a painfully

    The world did not shatter dramatically.There was no cinematic explosion. No collapse of walls. No thunder cracking across the sky.Instead, everything became painfully, terrifyingly clear.I stared at the frozen image on my phone screen.The little girl holding the oversized hockey stick.The missing tooth. The crooked smile.The eyes. My eyes.A strange ringing filled my ears.For years, I had carried my father's memory like a sacred thing. Small. Fragile. Precious.My father teaching me to skate.My father waking before sunrise to drive me to tournaments.My father cheering louder than every parent in the arena combined.My father dying in what everyone called a tragic accident.Simple. Clean. Finished.Now a dead man was sitting inside a video recording telling me my father had died alongside him trying to expose corruption.Nothing about that was simple. Nothing about that was finished.Beside me, Jaxon looked equally stunned.His phone buzzed continuously from somewhere on the k

    For a long moment, neither of us moved. The notification remained on my screen.FROM: Richard Kane, Scheduled Delivery ArchiveRelease only if Rory Callahan is in immediate danger.The dead weren't supposed to have perfect timing.Yet somehow, the man who had been buried fifteen years ago had chosen the exact moment the world learned about my pregnancy to reach into the present.My fingers hovered over the phone.Jaxon was staring at the screen as though it might disappear if he blinked."My father..." he whispered.His voice was almost unrecognizable. Now, he was not the calm captain. He was not the arrogant superstar.He was just a little boy hearing his father's name after years of silence.I looked at him. Every instinct told me to hand him the phone but the subject line wasn't addressed to him.It was addressed to me.Slowly, I tapped the email.A video attachment appeared and a file popped up. IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS, SOMETHING HAS GONE TERRIBLY WRONG.My heart skipped and Jax

    For one endless second, I forgot how to breathe.The words hung between us, suspended in the air like a puck frozen inches before the goal line.Yes. She was pregnant. Like, she was pregnant with a child. My child. My mind refused to move beyond that single fact.Pregnant.Rory.The woman I had spent two years pushing away.The woman I had spent the last six weeks trying desperately to protect.The woman standing three feet away from me with tears shining in her eyes and every muscle in her body locked as if she expected me to become another enemy.I couldn't just understand it. Suddenly, the phone in my hand vibrated violently.Then again. And again.I didn't look at it.I couldn't. My focus was on Rory. Nothing existed except her."When?" I asked quietly.Her fingers curled protectively over her stomach."Don't.""When did you find out?""I said don't."Her voice wasn't angry. It was terrified.That realization hit me harder than any body check I'd ever taken.Rory Callahan wasn'
