The Hockey Captain’s Curvy Obsession Leo's Birth
The private delivery suite at Swedish Medical Center settled into a absolute silence as the clock passed six in the morning. Outside the high windows, rain washed across the glass, but inside, the entire focus of the room narrowed down to the hospital bed where our son lay wrapped in a white fleece blanket against my chest. Dr. Evans completed her final medical check, signing off on the chart before looking up with a relieved smile. "Mother and baby are both in exceptional health. Heart rate is ninety-eight, weight is seven pounds six ounces, and the APGAR score is a perfect nine. I'm going to give you three some privacy." She stepped out of the room, letting the heavy door slide shut behind her. Rhys sat on the right side of the bed, his broad frame leaning close. He had dropped his jacket on the chair hours ago; his sleeves were rolled up past his elbows. His dark grey eyes were fixed entirely on the baby’s face, his expression completely stripped of the cold, tactical detachmen
The Hockey Captain’s Curvy Obsession The Storm Over Seattle
The wind woke me at three in the morning.It came howling off the high mountain peaks, rattling the heavy glass panes of our bedroom suite with violent force. Outside, the blizzard had turned into a whiteout. Snow swirled across the balcony in thick, blinding sheets, hiding the forest and the valley below in total darkness.I shifted slowly under the heavy duvet, trying to find a position that took the pressure off my lower back.Then the first real contraction hit.It wasn't the dull ache I’d felt earlier in the week. It was a sharp, tight wave that started deep in my lower spine and rolled across my stomach, squeezing hard enough to catch the air in my throat. I gripped the edge of the mattress, focusing entirely on a slow, steady exhale through my nose.Beside me, Rhys was awake before my second breath cleared."Sasha."His voice was instantly clear, free of any sleep. He sat up, pushing the blanket aside, his large hands reaching out to steady my shoulders. He looked at my
The Hockey Captain’s Curvy Obsession The Nesting Instinct
The snowfall didn't stop for three days.By Friday morning, the mountain pass leading down to Seattle was completely washed in white, the heavy fir trees bowing under the weight of fresh snow. Inside the compound, the furnace hummed quietly, keeping the wide rooms warm and sheltered from the winter gale outside.I stood in the center of the nursery, adjusting a small stack of organic cotton onesies on the dresser. My belly was high and heavy now at thirty-seven weeks. Every movement required a slow breath, a conscious shift of weight. But a strange, relentless energy had taken over my mind since yesterday morning—a fierce need to have every blanket folded, every baby drawer labeled, and every corner of our home prepared for our son's arrival."Sasha."Rhys’s voice came from the doorway, low and thick with that quiet, protective weight he’d carried all week.I turned slowly, holding a tiny white beanie in my hands. He was leaning against the doorframe in an old charcoal t-shirt and gre
The Hockey Captain’s Curvy Obsession The Legal Checkmate
The morning after our return from Vancouver, the quiet serenity of the mountain compound was a welcome contrast to the loud, chaotic energy of the arena. Snow had fallen steadily overnight, blanketing the pines in a fresh, thick layer of white. Inside the main study, the stone fireplace crackled softly, casting a warm golden light across the room.I sat at the wide mahogany desk in a soft, cream-colored cashmere sweater and warm leggings. At eight months and two weeks pregnant, getting comfortable was an ongoing negotiation, but the thick padded armchair provided plenty of support. My tablet rested on the desk in front of me, displaying a secure video link to our head legal counsel in Toronto and Geneva.Rhys walked into the room carrying a silver tray with fresh fruit, poached eggs, and a mug of warm herbal tea. He had already completed his morning workout, wearing a dark fitted shirt and sweatpants. As always, the moment his eyes landed on me, his posture softened completely.He s
The Hockey Captain’s Curvy Obsession Ice and Iron
The air inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver was cold, heavy, and loud. Thousands of blue and green jerseys filled the lower and upper bowls, creating an intense, hostile atmosphere for the Seattle Kraken.I sat in the private executive box directly above the visiting team bench, surrounded by glass windows overlooking the ice. Because I was eight months pregnant, Rhys had insisted that I watch the game from the climate-controlled suite rather than standing near the bench tunnel. Lars sat to my right with his laptop and legal files, while two private security guards stood quietly near the entrance of the suite.Below us, warm-ups had just finished. The ice resurfacers glided across the red line, leaving behind a smooth, wet sheet of ice that mirrored the bright arena lights.Down at the glass door near the Seattle bench, Rhys looked up into the private suite. He was fully geared in his navy and silver captain's jersey, dark helmet strapped tight, stick resting in his hand. Even from e
The Hockey Captain’s Curvy Obsession Shadows of the Past
The study at the mountain estate was quiet, save for the soft sound of rain washing against the floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the forest.I sat in my deep leather armchair near the fireplace, a thick fleece throw draped over my legs to keep warm. My pregnancy bump was full and heavy against my lap now at eight months, making simple movements a slow, calculated effort. On the mahogany coffee table in front of me lay three decades of archived corporate deeds, financial audits, and old Vance family land trusts that Lars had spent all morning fetching from our central vault in downtown Seattle.Across the room, Rhys was standing near the hearth, holding a warm cup of herbal tea he had brewed for me. He wore a dark fitted t-shirt and grey lounge pants, his large, muscular frame casting a broad, comforting shadow across the rug. Even off the ice, his gaze was sharp, resting on the yellowed parchment papers stretched out on the table."You've been reading those deeds for two
