I’m Just Slightly Obsessed With Hockey Boys

bench reaction

“Well if it isn’t Cole McWard!” you said grinning as you walked down the hallway of the Canucks practice arena. You were visiting Quinn in Vancouver before the end of the season to meet the newest rookie, as well as see some of your favorite people. It was Cole’s second game tonight, and you were here to watch it. Plus, you hadn’t seen Akita play, either.

“Hi!” Cole smiled, “Y/N right?”

“The one and only!” You held your arms wide open, and luckily Cole was also a hugger and took you into his arms with no problem.

“I told you she’s humble,” Quinn said sarcastically.

“Alright, what horrible things have you heard?” you asked the rook, ignoring your best friend.

Quinn swatted you on the arm at the joking accusation, “I don’t talk bad about you!”

Cole was smiling at the two of you, clearly entertained, “Everything I’ve heard is good, don’t worry.”

After catching up with everybody and going out with Petey and Quinn for a late lunch, it was time for you to get ready back at their apartment, and them to head off to the arena.

You took an uber to the arena, mainly because you didn’t want to drive Quinn’s car he left for you, all dressed and ready in your Quinn jersey.

The game was amazing. Quinn got a penalty, Cole scored not only his first NHL goal, but the opening goal of the game! Kuzy won the game in a shootout, and Quinn’s speech at the end nearly brought you to tears. He’s grown so much and you couldn’t be more proud.

That statement was wiped away the second you saw Cole in the halls outside the locker room after the game. He was so happy, and his smile grew wider when he saw you.

“Y/N!”

You held your arms open and laughed as he scurried over to hug you, “That goal was beautiful, love! You’re officially adopted!”

Cole’s head tilted at this. You mentioned “adoption” in your instagram, but it had slipped Quinn’s mind to explain it.

“Sissy, you can’t just announce to someone you just met that you’re adopting them. He doesn’t even know Jamie,” Quinn sighed as he walked up and hugged you from behind. You rotated your body in his arms to hug him back before escaping and getting behind him. Without skipping a beat, he bent down for you to hop onto his back for a piggy back ride.

“See, I was thinking we’d actually split custody of him,” you said.

Cole’s confusion deepened, “Uh… Quinn?”

“It started with my youngest brother, Luke, accidentally calling her mom when he was in middle school during the one month her and my middle brother, Jack, were dating. They ran with it, and have been joking ever since that she’s his mom and Jack is his dad.

“Then, when Luke hit college two years ago, and Y/N met his teammate Ethan, she told Jack that they were adopting him, too. Why she picked Ethan I don’t know, he’s had many other teammates over the years.”

“Why did you pick Ethan then?” Cole asked. You shrugged, “I don’t know; he just screamed my child.”

“I scream your child?” Cole asked, slightly laughing.

“It’s a high honor,” you nodded. “Go, Quintin.”

“Skip to last year when her and Jamie Drysdale got closer. Her and Jack divorced is what they call it, and her and Jamie got married. The weirdoes have silicone rings and everything.” You held up your ring finger and grinned at this. “They decided to adopt Trevor Zegras, who, by the way, is her boyfriend of five years, just to add to the crazy that is my life. Z hates it, but we all think he kind of enjoys the gag.”

“Is that it?” Cole asked.

“I don’t know, maybe?” Quinn breathed out a laugh.

“Seamus Casey is up for discussion, but he’s not officially a Devil yet.”

“Right, of course. And Luke says something about an application?”

“That’s mostly a joke, but there is a contract.”

“Z signed a contract?”

“He was held at scissor point.”

“You threatened your boyfriend with scissors?” Cole asked.

“That’s not what I said,” you stated.

Quinn laughed at that. Quinn made sure he mentioned everything about your “adoptions” and Cole ended up finding it very amusing.

“Sooooo,” you grinned at him. “What do you say? Care to have the highest honor of being mine and Quinn’s first child?”

Cole asked about Jamie, and Quinn raised that question after Cole asked it, to which you explained that this would be a split custody adoption so you weren’t cheating on Jamie. Cole faked relief, “Well… as long as you’re not cheating on my… step dad?”
