The Hockey Playboy's Plus Size Obsession Chapter 77
**MILA'S POV**The house was finally quiet. The kids were all asleep after a long Sunday dinner at Mom and Leo’s. Jax locked the front door and turned off the last light downstairs. I stood in our bedroom doorway, watching him walk up the stairs. Even after all these years, the sight of him still made my stomach flip. His long hair had a few silver strands now, but those green eyes and tattoos still looked just as good.He came straight to me, big hands sliding around my waist, pulling me close. “Been waiting for this all day, sunshine,” he said low, voice rough like it always got when he wanted me.“Me too.” I reached up and tugged his hair free, letting it fall around his shoulders. “Kids wore us out, but I’m not tired yet.”Jax grinned that slow smile that still thawed me every time. He walked me backward into the bedroom, kicking the door shut. His mouth found mine, kissing deep and hungry, tongue sliding against mine like he couldn’t get enough. His hands roamed down my body, squ

Mila’s daughter and her mother’s daughter—her new sister—grew up like twins.They were inseparable, despite the difference in their ages.Mila loved watching them in the bookstore, playing among the shelves, their laughter echoing through the aisles.It was a cycle of life that felt complete.The darkness of the past had served only to make this light more blinding.The bookstore was bathed in the warm, golden light of late afternoon.Mila stood at the counter, her family bustling around her.Jax was reading a story to the kids in the corner, his voice low and rich.Kira and Knox were laughing in the back, the smell of fresh coffee filling the air.Her mother and Leo were pulling up in the driveway, ready for a Sunday dinner.Mila looked down at the book in her hands.She realized she wasn't just living a life; she was living the story she had always wanted to write.She turned, caught Jax’s eye, and he smiled.It was the smile that had once thawed the ice, and now, it was the smile t

The night deepened.In room 412, Knox—who had arrived shortly after the frantic calls went out—sat in the corner, keeping guard over the children.Beside him was Kira, Mila’s best friend.Kira’s presence was a shock, but a welcome one.She looked nervous, her hands fidgeting with her bag, but she kept stealing glances at Knox.There was a tension between them that had been building for months.Since the wedding, Knox had been different—less impulsive, more grounded.He had been spending time at the bookstore, ostensibly to "help with inventory," but it was clear he was really there to be near Kira."You okay?" Knox asked, his voice low as he watched Mila groan through a particularly intense wave."I’m fine," Kira whispered, then paused, her gaze softening as she looked at him."You’re a good man, Knox. You’re good with them."She gestured toward the sleeping children.Knox didn't look away."I’m learning, Kira. From Jax. From all of you."He reached out, tentatively touching her hand.

The hospital wing was quiet, save for the hum of the air conditioning and the rhythmic, synthetic beeping of monitors.It was a space designed for endings and beginnings, but for Mila, it felt like the center of the universe.She lay in room 412, her body arched in a silent, agonizing contraction that made the hospital bed feel like a raft in a stormy sea.Her breath came in ragged, practiced gasps.Beside her, Leo and Clara were huddled together on the pull-out sofa.Leo, at four years old, was staring at his mother with wide, solemn eyes, his small hand clutching a toy truck as if it were a talisman.Two-year-old Clara was asleep, her thumb tucked firmly into her mouth, completely unaware that the world was about to shift on its axis.Jax was a blur of motion, moving between the monitor and the bedside.He was adjusting the pillows, wiping Mila’s forehead, and murmuring reassurances that were more like prayers."The nurse said things are progressing fast, sunshine," Jax said, his vo

Dmitri collapsed into the chair, his face buried in his hands as the midwife placed the baby into Jess’s arms. When he finally looked up, his eyes were wet, his face transformed by a look of such profound, vulnerable love that it felt like watching a glacier finally thaw in the heat of the sun. He reached out, touching the baby’s tiny hand with a trembling finger, his entire world narrowing down to the three of them.Mila sat back, her breath hitching. She looked at Jax, who was standing behind her, his hands resting on her shoulders. "It’s beautiful," she whispered."It is," Jax agreed, his voice thick. He leaned down, his lips brushing her hair. "And soon, it’ll be our turn again."The days that followed were a blur of joy, but for Mila, the air began to thicken with a different kind of urgency. Two days after Jess gave birth, the first true contraction hit while Mila was shelving a series of historical biographies. It wasn't the dull ache she had been feeling for weeks; it was a

The bookstore was quieter than usual, the rain outside creating a soft, rhythmic drumming against the glass that usually calmed the soul. But today, the silence was laced with a different kind of electricity. Jess was sitting in the back reading nook, a stack of baby manuals beside her, her breathing becoming increasingly shallow and controlled.Dmitri stood near the register, his massive frame looking entirely out of place among the shelves of poetry. He was staring at Jess, his jaw set, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. Every time Jess winced—a subtle shift of her shoulders, a sharp intake of breath—Dmitri took a half-step toward her, his instinct to protect battling with his inability to do anything at all."Dmitri," Jess said, her voice strained but steady. "I am fine. It is just… practice. Braxton Hicks, the doctor said.""The doctor does not have to watch you twist in pain," Dmitri growled, his Russian accent sharpening. He crossed the room in two strides, kne

The hospital room had been the beginning, but the weeks that followed were a whirlwind of joy, gold, and frantic, beautiful chaos. The "mandatory" invitation from the Commissioner’s office had turned out to be the ultimate blessing: the NHL had decided to sponsor a public wedding ceremony at the c

The world was a kaleidoscope of soft white lights, the rhythmic, electronic *beep-beep-beep* of a heart monitor, and the lingering, antiseptic scent of a hospital room. When I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I saw wasn't the ceiling. It was Jax.He was sitting in the uncomfortable plastic c

**MILA'S POV**"Jax," I whispered, the name catching in my throat as my eyes locked onto that rhythmic, blinking red light. "Tell me that isn't what I think it is."Jax didn't answer. He was already moving, his athletic frame vaulting over the control console. His face was a mask of cold, hard foc

**JAX'S POV**The notification on Mila’s phone was a shock; it launched me into a state of pure, adrenaline-fueled survival.The ice. The arena. Everything I had built my life on was being physically eroded by some coward in the shadows."Rick, deal with Sterling," I barked, not waiting for an answ
