CodyFuck, I can’t even focus on the game we’re going to be playing and I forgot my lucky friend bracelet, it’s the one that Atlas gave me when we were about twelve, he won it at the town’s fairground one year for shooting hoops. I left it back at the Lake House. Damn it. And now with the emergency call from Luna hysterical down the phone that she is bleeding has put my nerves completely on edge. I asked if it was just spotting but she told me it was a lot of blood, and she was frightened.I have reassured her that she will be okay, because what else can I do? She’s in Minnesota still and I am stuck here in Vegas about to play a game of hockey. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Immi was my next call to ask her to go be with Luna and at that moment it hit me how lonely Luna must be. The poor woman, I never considered how she felt and what she was going through.Her own mother is a space cadet and drinks, and her father left them when she was a kid. The mother never remarried; I’m not surprised to be ho

Imogen“How is she?” Cody asks looking crumpled and ruffled, he’s in his grey joggers which ordinarily I love him in and find him ultra-sexy, only this evening we have more serious things to worry about.“She’s just back in her room, the nurse told me literally a few minutes ago and I was heading there.”“Okay, let’s go in.” He has a bunch of flowers, how he has managed to get those from flying to Vegas and hitting the ground running I have no idea, I suspect he messaged his assistant and have her organize for the driver to take her some in. God, my heart is in my mouth, and it feels heavy, the concern etched all over his face, his eyes look red and sore. I wonder if he’s been crying, it’s his baby too and everything we have gone through with Luna is now forgotten. All that matters is that it isn’t bad news. I am almost too scared to go in.I reach for Cody’s hand, one of us has to be strong even though I definitely do not feel strong, anything but. My legs feel weak. He takes my hand

Cody The sight of Luna actually scares me half to death. Her face so pale and despite her pregnancy bump she is very slender; I wonder if she’s been looking after herself properly. I know she caused us an awful lot of stress but I can’t help feel for her. I mean it was shocking enough and upsetting for me to think the baby was in trouble, what on earth must she have gone through mentally?“Are you sure you’re okay, Luna?” I ask and move a chair from the corner of the room so I can sit closer to her.“Yes, I’m fine. Naturally I was scared, really scared but now I know everything with the baby will be okay I feel much better in my head. Shit, I was frightened Cody, and I was alone. You know how useless my mother is.” She grimaces and closes her eyes briefly. Yeah, we all know that. “I’m so glad you have decent folks you know, right?” I nod. “It’ll be good for our baby to have decent grandparents if only from your side, that makes me happy.” Our baby. The words hit me; I don’t know how

ImogenCody is pacing, he’ll wear a hole in his wooden floorboards if he’s not careful as he talks on the phone to his coach and rakes his hand through his hair. We left the hospital and went and grabbed some pizzas to go then headed over to the restaurant and picked up Kitten, an overnight bag for me and some bits and pieces that I’d need to stay at the Lake House for some days.It's late now and Cody and I are both exhausted, it’s been a long, long day and night. His coach is on the phone since Cody knew he’d be up still, apparently the man survives on just four to five hours sleep a night. How? I have no idea but that definitely isn’t for me.“There’s nothing I can do about it, Coach. I need to be here for Luna for a couple of days and get her settled in.” I hear him say as he rakes his hands through his hair. Again.I make him a glass of water and consider putting some milk on to warm which could help soothe him. “No, I am not getting on the next flight out. I already told you; sh

ImogenThe two days passed in a blur, honestly with sorting out packing, running between the restaurant, my apartment and getting the guest room ready and shopping for Luna to stay, I have been rushed off my feet.Cody left yesterday afternoon with a heavy heart, he told me he hated to leave me like this having to manage everything, but I told him it will be fine and tried to reassure him the best I can. Thankfully, his assistant has stepped in. She is organizing for someone to go to Lunas, having picked up the key from her in hospital to bring over her clothes, some books, not that she needs many, I have plenty and general personal items, you know chargers, cosmetics, underwear that sort of stuff.“You need a break, Immi.” Lukov tells me looking all refreshed from his day off.“I know, but there isn’t time. Honestly, I feel totally wiped out and I still haven’t had my period.”“Shit, that’s a while. Considered doing another test yet or how about you actually get one done at the surger

Cody“How are things, Bro?” Atlas asks me as we lace up our skates, another city another game, I never thought I’d feel tired of it all. I mean, I have lived and breathed ice hockey since I was a kid. But you know, now I just feel the sheer weight and enormity of life and I think it’s fucking with my head and then some.“Luna is moving into the Lake House until Immi comes to Austin.” I finish tying the laces, Atlas shoots me a look, there’s a slight glimmer of annoyance. Yeah, he knows all of Luna’s antics, hell he’s had to live them pretty much as I have since he is my best friend and Immi’s older brother.“Is that wise, what the hell?”“She bled a lot, and they need her on as much rest as possible. The only solution I could think of so someone could keep an eye on her, was for her to move to the Lake House and ask Immi to keep an eye on her.” Some of the guys jostle around us, they’re waiting for my pre-game speech, tonight we play Montana, not going to be an easy game that’s for su

ImogenLuna looks so frail sitting in the wheelchair, I can only understand her exasperation as the nurse smiles at me. It’s a different one today, much older with that kind of grey hair that the younger girls my age are all dying their hair to look like. She wears a coral lipstick and natural eyes; I am guessing in her hey day she was a stunner. Her name badge says Anne. She greets me.“You’re the young lady coming to look after our patient?”“Yes, that’s me. Imogen.”“Lovely to meet you, Imogen. You need to make sure this little one gets plenty of rest and I mean feet up kind of rest. The chair I understand Mr Brannigan bless his soul has purchased, so if you like you can always go out on nice walks together but using the chair. We don’t want anything to happen with the baby.”“Absolutely, I’ll make sure Luna rests plenty and of course, I’ll ensure she doesn’t overexert.”“Good and do you have a chair seat in the shower for you? It’s best we keep her as rested as we can.” Okay we don

LunaI can’t believe I am in Cody Brannigan’s house, it’s gigantic and it is stunning. I never imagined that he would have something like this, never in my wildest dreams. And whereas he has been giving me money on a regular basis, I’d still never be able to afford anything like this.So, we’ve not officially met right but I am the biggest thing in Cody’s life right now well sort of the biggest, I am carrying the most important thing in his life, his little girl and I am loving every second of being pregnant only of course not the recent scare, that had me frightened not just for losing something so precious inside me that I already love with all my heart, but I’d be losing something of Cody Brannigan too.I didn’t just happen to be his puck bunny; I have known Cody since forever only he never knew me. I was the kid that hung with the wrong crowd at school not that I got into trouble much, even I wasn’t that dumb, but I always had my eye on the guy who was a couple of years older than

Bonus Epilogue – CodyI watch Immi holding our baby boy, who we called Miles, he’s just three months old and Immi is a natural mother. My heart swells watching her holding him in her arms whilst her mother fusses around her.Her father slaps me on the back, “you did us proud, Cody. I couldn’t wish for a better man for my grandbaby and little Summer. That girl is a firecracker, she’s got you eating out of the palm of her hand.”“Don’t I know it, Sir. My boy will be the same.” We chuckle as we watch my Minnesota team enjoy a few colds ones on the grass that leads down to the lake out back of my Lake home. Immi and I are back now, we’ve come full circle from the first moment she came back into my life to be my nutironist and the sparring of words that took place back then.Who’d have thought that in just two years I’d be married to my gorgeous wife, have a baby girl who totters around everywhere and is obsessed with her baby brother and a baby boy. We plan on going for six kids, hell I’d

Imogen – EpilogueLife has been wonderful to us; our wedding was a dream with all our friends and family around us and the entire hockey teams for Minnesota and for Austin. Of course, as Cody is such a big name, we had to have one of the top celebrity magazine photographers attending and the exclusive pictures in the magazine were amazing. My mom’s cake she made for us was something out of a movie, five tiers, with one chocolate and one vanilla sponge alternating to the top, frosted in a delicate cream frosting with an iced arch at the top, she even made tiny flowers to match the wedding flowers to decorate it. I’m telling you, my mother is a baking wonder.It's been a year since our wedding and I am the happiest I have ever been. Little Summer is crawling and sort of walking, I swear I need eyes in the back of my head. Her blonde curls are to die for and those big blue eyes of hers, well she is a daddy’s girl and the way that Cody is with her, it makes my heart melt. He is the best d

Cody – December 21st “You look worried, Man you need to chill out. She’s going to be here.” I take a look at Atlas in his striped, grey charcoal pants, his matching waistcoat, the button down white shirt and the cream cravat. We’re matching today, it seems surreal we match on the ice and now we match as I stand in the bedroom of my Lake House nervous as hell, about to go out the back and take my place to wait for my beautiful bride to come down the aisle on her daddy’s arm. I exhale.“I am chilled out, but what if I let her down? What if I’m not the husband she wants to spend the rest of her life with? What if she thinks she wants to fly?” He pats me on the shoulder.“Listen to me, Bro. I like that now we’re going to be proper bro’s no getting away from me now. She loves you, Immi is besotted with you, that girl knows her own mind and if she didn’t think you were right for her, she’d have off-skied a long fucking time ago. So, now stop. This is your day as much as it is hers and you n

ImogenSummer is a dream, honestly you couldn’t ask for a happier baby, she hardly cries and always holds out her chubby little hands when she sees me, and don’t even get me started on when she sees her daddy. Oh, my it makes my ovaries ache something crazy and I literally cannot wait the next two months for our wedding.Where has the time gone? It’s literally insane. Where to start, first Cody did bring the Stanley Cup home for Austin during the event in June. He is now officially a legend, the crowds went absolutely nuts for him and the team, we have been inundated with so much press and media attention that sometimes it feels stifling, but I have to accept it because being married to the man who won both years in a row for his teams with hattricks in both games, is going to be a major thing. He could happily hang his skates now if he wanted to. He has achieved all the dreams he ever had as a child in his ice hockey career. Although, I have to admit, I would miss going to the games w

CodyWatching Luna giving birth was surreal, she didn’t make a fuss or create and scream the hospital down, she took it all in her stride, showing her strength and dignity. Seeing the crown of my baby girl’s head brought tears to my eyes.We’re all in the private room and Luna holds our baby in her arms, swaddled in a pale pink blanket, Immi and I have both held her and oh my, I can’t begin to tell you the way I feel. My heart expanded and fluttered like crazy, the love that I feel for this tiny little girl is unbelievable and the way I want to protect her and keep her safe, Man it’s blowing my mind.“So beautiful, Luna.” Immi says her smile wide on her face, her eyes shining like diamonds. “I think she has Cody’s cute nose,” she touches the baby’s face, yes, we still need to name her.“Cody, can you take her, then settle her down, I’m pretty exhausted and will nap.”“Absolutely,” I extend my arms to take our baby girl. “Come here Princess my daddy’s little girl.” Immi giggles and I ca

Imogen – five months later“I’m coming hold on.” I shout to Cody as he calls me from the front door. We’re due to go riding this morning but we’re both on edge kind of as it has already gone past Luna’s due date by a week. She is totally fed up and just wants the baby to drop. NOW.I rush to step into my riding boots, Ben is coming with us - he has become a real fixture of our bizarre family set up. And the best thing is that he has gotten closer to Luna. How amazing is that since Ben would often keep Luna company on her cabin porch when Cody and I were travelling to his ice hockey games.Fallon has been a dream constantly popping over to see us and also Luna, to be honest I think she has found a friend in Luna too. They’re both in the same position with pregnancies and Fallon stopped travelling to the away games with Atlas about three months ago.Life can be weird at times but in a good way. The one person who caused so much heartache for Cody and I, is now a firm friend and not just

CodyHer pussy feels wet as I glide my fingers over the lace of her panties, Imogen is so damn beautiful it can bring me to my knees. “I missed you darlin’,” I tell her as I kiss her neck making her tingle and squirm, I know it’s a feeling of delight and tickling as she giggles at my touch.“You were only gone during today, Brannigan,” she giggles as I nip at her neck, whilst continuing to stroke through her soaking panties.“A second is too long to be away from you, I swear Immi you do something to me that makes me want to be glued to your side. It’s a job to take myself away from you.”“You’re such a smooth talker, Brannigan. I feel the same way.” I know she does, whenever we get the opportunity on my away games that she doesn’t travel with me, we make sure to call each other it seems like every few hours around the games and photoshoots, signing autographs, sponsor meetings and the such like. And when I am at practice hell, we still talk regularly in the day. I feel like I cannot b

Imogen – One Month LaterTime has gone by so quickly, and yes Cody did go on to play with a broken jaw in New York. I went with him and held my breath the entire game, least ways that is how it felt. One more injury and he could have been off the ice for a while. He’s a stubborn old mule is what he is, but they won and he went on to score a hat trick, for those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s when a player scored three goals in a single game. Of course Cody was over the moon, the crowd went nuts even the New York fans.So, where else have we travelled? Let’s see we played a couple of home games, we went to Winnipeg which was fun and I got to do some sightseeing and his folks came too. We are bonding much more and I am loving how much they care about me. His ma even made me a beautiful sweater even though we are heading into Spring, it’s a soft blush pink mohair with daisies. She is so clever, the last time I tried knitting it was a total disaster and I ended up having to ask

CodyWhat the fuck, did I pass out or something? I’m in a room with hooks up to me and darkness filtering through some lemon shade blinds, Immi is sitting by my bed holding my hands and tears on her face. “Hey darlin’,” I manage feeling like I have been run over by a truck or something, I ache in my ribs, my pelvis and my face is fucking sore.“Cody, baby. Are you in pain?”“Some it’s not so bad. What the hell happened?“You were taken down on the ice. They say you have a bad concussion and a broken nose, and your jaw is fractured.”“Hey, don’t cry it could have been a whole lot worse. Least ways I can still play.”“No way, Brannigan.” Just as she says that a man in his fifties or so comes in with dark hair, splattering of grey at the temples and kind green eyes, not dark or emerald just plain green like leaves in the spring.“Good to see you awake, Brannigan. You took several shots to the head. Your jaw is fractured, I am guessing this lady has already told you that. We assessed your
