Summary
Ilya drops to his knees and finds a sleeping baby in a tiny pink bunny patterned onesie. It feels illegal for something to be this small. Who would do something like this? Surely a mother somewhere would be sick with worry. Then he sees a folded square of paper tucked into the side of the car seat. He unfolds it to a note – Ilya, I can’t keep her. She’s yours.
Ilya undoes the car seat buckle as fast as his shaking hands will allow. Slowly, carefully, he lifts her from her car seat and settles her in his arms. The baby stirs, and when she opens her eyes, they’re the clearest blue he’s ever seen – a mirror image of his own.
He is so fucked.
Or, Ilya very suddenly stumbles into parenthood, Shane isn't a step dad he's the dad who stepped up, and Hayden Pike might not be so bad after all.

Summary
"We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."
"Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.
He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–
"You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."
The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.
"Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
__________________________________________________________________The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.
