Summary

Notes

This is fairly canon to TLG but I've taken some liberties and changed a few things - nothing too drastic though.

Enjoy!

Jane 💙
November 4th 5:22 PM

LILY: You are sure you're okay with it? Is silly

LILY: I know we talked about being less… strict? But I don't expect you to jump this.

JANE: It's okay, really. I might be fun. Besides, it would be nice to have people I can actually talk about our relationship with that aren't related to me, or hate you.

LILY: Okay 💙

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
November 4th 6:42 PM

CASSIE: Ladies… I have such a fun announcement.

LISA: Oh?

SELENA: Do tell!

CAITLIN: Did you finally convince Zane to bring up making a Centaurs calendar to Gen?

CASSIE: No.

CASSIE: BETTER

LISA: Better???!?

Cassie Boodram has added Jane to the Group Chat

SELENA: Jane? Who is Jane?

CASSIE: Jane… is Ilya’s WAG

JANE: Uh… hi?

NICOLE: No fucking way

LISA: ROZ HAS A GIRLFRIEND?!

CAITLIN: SINCE UH WHEN

SELENA: Holy shit no way

CASSIE: Sorry, Jane. They're just excited. Ilya has been keeping you under wraps!

JANE: It's alright, I get it.

JANE: We've been very private

CASSIE: You're probably confused and overwhelmed. I'm Cassie – Zane's wife.

LISA: Lisa 👋 I'm married to Wyatt!

CAITLIN: Caitlin 😊 Married to Evan

NICOLE: Nicole Boyle! Josh's wife!

SELENA: I'm Selena, Nick Chouinard's wife

JANE: Nice to meet you all.

SELENA: Where has Roz been hiding you!?

JANE: I don't live in Ottawa so whenever he has time off he comes to see me

LISA: Awwww

CASSIE: Where do you live?

JANE: Near Montreal.

JANE: Definitely closer than when he was in Boston, but still feels too far away.

NICOLE: You guys were together when he was with Boston?? How long have you been together?

JANE: It's been a few years

CASSIE: Years?! And he's never mentioned you or brought you around? Were you close with his Boston team or wags?

JANE: As a die hard Metros fan we didn't think they'd be very receptive 😬

CASSIE: Ah. Enemy territory.

LISA: Good thing we don't win enough to be a threat for Montreal lol

SELENA: We're more of a threat to ourselves atp

SELENA: Don't tell Nick I said that

CASSIE: This is the super secret wag space nothing leaves this chat without express permission 🤞

LISA: 🤞

CAITLIN: 🤞🤞

NICOLE: Sisterhood of the traveling puck 🤞

JANE: So excited 😊 I've missed his stupid face. FaceTime doesn't do it justice.

JANE: I've got work tonight but we will see each other after

LISA: Long distance is the WORST. Wyatt and I did it for a while when Toronto traded him and I was applying at hospitals here 😮‍💨

CASSIE: Oof Roz just bodied Hollander into the boards

CASSIE: And laughed about it

SELENA: He's too excited to see his girl tonight to care about anything else lol

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒

LILY: No you don't. I have scratches that say otherwise

JANE: FaceTime tonight?

LILY: I will be there

LILY: I love you

JANE: I love you too ❤️

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
November 28th 3:47 PM

NICOLE: If Josh leaves one more half empty glass of water around my house I'm going to murder him!

CAITLIN: YES! Evan makes a bowl of something for a snack and then leaves it wherever!

JANE: Tell them if the dishes end up in the sink you'll do them naked and they can watch

CASSIE: JANE! 😳

LISA: omg!

LISA: Does it work though?

JANE: There is a house in Montreal and one in Ottawa that never has dishes sitting out 🤷🏻‍♀️

NICOLE: ✍️✍️✍️

CAITLIN: Jane's out here keeping her house and her man in check and doing dishes in the buff!

JANE: Well… I wear dish gloves because I will peel my skin off if wet food touches my hands.

CASSIE: Are they at least cute gloves?

JANE: Is there such a thing?

SELENA: Oh… baby.

LILY 🏵
December 3rd 4:43 PM

LILY: Is there a reason that I was handed two gift bags at practice today?

JANE: Is this a riddle?

LILY: Bood and Hayes handed me identical gift bags and said they were told to give them to me

LILY: One tag says Montreal and one says Ottawa

LILY: They are signed from RHOO

LILY: What is a RHOO???

JANE: Oh my god

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
December 3rd 4:50 PM

JANE: Did you guys buy me dish gloves and make your husbands give them to Ilya?

CASSIE: Whaaaat? Us?

LISA: Who would do that? Certainly not us.

JANE: 🤦🏻‍♀️Ilya is freaking out

CASSIE: Merry Christmas, Captain!

LILY 🏵
December 3rd 4:56 PM

JANE: It's a silly gift from the wags

LILY: Can I open them?

JANE: Go ahead 🤷‍♂️

LILY: Is rubber gloves? [A photo of several pairs of colorful rubber dish washing gloves spread out on Ilya’s kitchen counter. Some have pretty fabric attached at the tops.]

JANE: Sisterhood of the traveling puck 🤞

LILY: Will you wear the pretty blue ones when you visit this weekend?

JANE: As long as the dishes are in the sink 😇

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
December 7th 11:07 AM

NICOLE: I am already stressing about Christmas dinner and plans

NICOLE: Josh's parents wanted us to go see them but my parents are going to be in town and the twins are TERRIBLE in the car for too long

NICOLE: Someone commiserate with meeeee

LISA: Lol Wyatt and I are staying home because I'm on call but Kristy, Eve, and Issac are coming to visit! We're going to take them to the canals to skate

CASSIE: Fuuuuun

CASSIE: Zane is more focused on the boxing day bbq

CAITLIN: We're going to Manitoba 😮‍💨

JANE: Ilya doesn't do Christmas Christmas

SELENA: What does that mean?

JANE: In Russia, Christmas is celebrated on January 7th. It's a whole thing. So, we don't do a whole lot. We do some gifts but we're probably just going to have dinner with my parents and hang out.

CAITLIN: Oh, that's cool

CASSIE: Are your parents in Montreal too?

JANE: No, Ottawa.

LISA: EXCUSE ME

NICOLE: You're going to be IN Ottawa and you didn't think to tell us???

JANE: I'm only there for Christmas unfortunately

SELENA: [Mean Girls ‘Boo you whore’ gif]

JANE: Sorry, it's really just going to be Christmas morning with Ilya, dinner with my parents, and back home

LISA: Ugh, that sounds so hard

NICOLE: Sorry I was just giggling to myself that Jane said she's spending Christmas morning with Roz and you said its so hard

CAITLIN: You are a mother!!! 🤣

CASSIE: How do you think she became a mother?

JANE: To be fair, he will probably be too excited about the Foosball table I'm getting him to think about anything else 🙄

SELENA: There could be multiple uses for the Foosball table 👀

JANE: I just thought about those little plastic guys poking me in the back and I hated it

SELENA: Striking Foosball table from Jane's Fuck it Bucket, got it

JANE: Fuck it bucket?

CASSIE: Places you'd wanna have sex - it was a silly thing we talked about months ago

SELENA: I'm waiting for summer so I can cross hammock off my list!

JANE: Oh God, don't do it on a hammock. Ilya almost killed me two summers ago when the thing tipped over!

NICOLE: Lolol! Holy shit!

CAITLIN: Crushed to death by naked Russian!

JANE: He wasn't fully naked

JANE: And, honestly, there are worse ways to go.

LISA: JANE!

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
December 13th 11:02 PM

JANE: Can I be a bitch for a second?

CASSIE: YES

NICOLE: Please do

LISA: I just went on break and I am SAT

SELENA: 🍿🍿

JANE: I stay off social media for the most part, right? It's just not for me. But whenever I log on I see all these girls talking about Ilya, either they're drooling over him (which I GET the man is quite literally a marble statue of a man) or there are the ones who talk about how they'd slept with him before

JANE: My boyfriend is no Saint, I know! We were very casual before we were officially together. But I kind of want to spray those girls with water like unruly cats

CAITLIN: 🔫BEGONE🔫

SELENA: That is rough I'm sorry

CASSIE: Yeah, the internet has no boundaries

LISA: I'm sorry, I have a short break and need to clarify

LISA: You and Roz were… friends with benefits?

JANE: Less friends more benefits

JANE: We would meet when we were in the same place and pretended for a long time we didn't actually like each other 🤷🏻‍♀️

NICOLE: And now look at you – a wag!

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
December 25th 5:12 PM

CASSIE: Merry Christmas! Hope you're all having a great day! [A photo of a very pregnant Cassie with her slipper covered feet up on Zane's lap.]

CAITLIN: Merry Christmas! Susie is having a blast with her new toys! [A photo of little Susie sitting in the box of some new fabulous toy that is lying forgotten next to her.]

LISA: Wyatt and Issac have taken over my dining table with LEGO. Safe to say Christmas has been fun. [A photo of Wyatt at a large table sitting beside a young boy, both meticulously going through the directions to build a very large and impressive LEGO set.]

SELENA: Merry Christmas!!!! [A photo of Nick and Selena standing in front of a large Christmas tree wearing matching pajamas.]

NICOLE: IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE [A photo of of the Boyle twins sleeping peacefully in the middle of a crowded living room.]

JANE: Merry Christmas! [A photo of a shirtless Ilya from the shoulders up sitting on a couch, a Christmas tree is behind him. He is drinking something from a mug with a mountain of whipped cream on top. A hand is reaching from behind the camera, brushing away a bit of cream from Ilya's top lip.]

January 8th 10:04
AM

CASSIE: I have chips, pretzels, soda, juice, and these dried fruit things I've been living on the last 2 weeks!

CAITLIN: I made dip!

LISA: I am going to stop at that bakery by the hospital when I leave to get some cookies before coming over.

NICOLE: Yummy! I have everything to make a charcuterie board when I get there.

SELENA: I have a bottle of wine for those of us not growing a small human

CASSIE: UGH jealous

CASSIE: Also I'm pretty sure there's cider from Harris left in the beer fridge out back of anyone wants it

LISA: Yes Please!

JANE: I have a black coffee I am sadly drinking while I finish packing for my work trip 😔

CAITLIN: Aw Janie 💛

SELENA: Black coffee? Are you a serial killer???

JANE: I don't really do dairy

JANE: Or sugar

JANE: Or “good food” in general according to Ilya 🙄 The man who somehow looks the way he does despite having the diet of an unsupervised toddler at a birthday party

NICOLE: Drag hiiiiim

CASSIE: Well I hope you enjoy your trip! I wish you could join us in watching the guys play in New York

LISA: I have a good feeling about tonight! The Admirals are going down!

JANE: Ilya said he is going to break Scott Hunter's hip because he is so old and shouldn't be on the ice – that it's elder abuse for New York to keep him around

CAITLIN: Holy shit Roz 🤣

NICOLE: I rescind my previous statement of ‘drag him’ Roz is actually very funny and is so precious to me

JANE: Me too 🥰

SELENA: JANE LIKES A BOYYYY 🤣🫵

CASSIE: A SMELLY HOCKEY PLAYING BOY 🤣🫵

JANE: You're all dumb and I'm going to finish packing!

LISA: JANE AND ROZ SITTING IN A TREE

CAITLIN: F U C K I N G

LISA: K I S S I N G

CASSIE: omg Cait! 🤣🤣

NICOLE: 💀💀💀

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
January 8th 9:58 PM

CASSIE: I can't believe we won

CAITLIN: I'm still in shock

JANE: I didn't answer my phone fast enough so Ilya sent me a voice memo of him yelling in Russian

LISA: Do you SPEAK Russian???

JANE: I'm learning! Ilya plays a dumb game where instead of pet names or whatever he calls me his [random Russian noun] so I can learn 🙄 Before he left for this roadie he called me a shopping cart

JANE: I asked him to teach me years ago and he used it as an excuse to be dirty

NICOLE: I never thought I'd think being called a shopping cart would be cute or romantic

CASSIE: Okay but did he teach you the dirty words 👀👀

LISA: What words did he say he'd teach you 👀

JANE: He said I only needed to know the important phrases like ‘harder, please' and ‘yes, sir’ 🤦🏻‍♀️

SELENA: AND DID YOU LEARN THEM

JANE: да

CAITLIN: Google says that means yes!!!!!!

JANE: I'm going to call Ilya and go to bed!

CASSIE: ”Go to bed”

LISA: Okay we believe you 😉

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
January 10th 7:42 PM

CASSIE: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

CAITLIN: Two in a row???? Who are we the Metros?!?

LISA: The Metros lost in Washington 👀

CAITLIN: WE'RE BETTER THAN THE METROS

CAITLIN: Oop sorry Jane

JANE: No, the Metros played like dog shit against Washington

SELENA: We love a brutally honest queen 👸

NICOLE: I wish I could call Josh but they're getting right on the plane to Tampa 😔

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
January 11th 9:42 AM

CASSIE: Checking in on you all. Everyone okay? Anybody need anything?

CASSIE: My house is open if anyone needs to talk or not talk

CAITLIN: I'm okay, I made Evan stay on the phone with me when we were going to bed last night just so I could make sure he was breathing

NICOLE: I'm a little shaken up still. It's a lot to process by myself with the twins

LISA: I'm off today, do you wanna bring them to Cassie's and we can help watch them while you decompress?

SELENA: I could come get some baby snuggles

CAITLIN: I can bring Susie too!

NICOLE: You guys are the best 😭

CASSIE: @Jane Are you okay, honey? Have you talked to Roz?

JANE: Yeah, yeah. We talked and FaceTimed last night. And this morning. I'm still a bit freaked out

JANE: Ilya is very good at compartmentalizing and not always talking about how he's feeling but he seems okay enough

JANE: I'm just having a little moment because I have to fly home from my work trip soon

LISA: Oh, Janie, that's so scary but you'll be fine!

SELENA: It will be okay!

CAITLIN: We're here for you 💖

Lisa Hayes
January 15th 2:01 PM

LISA: Heyyyy

JANE: Oh, hey Lisa. What's up?

LISA: I'm not going to beat around the bush and just ask

LISA: Wyatt mentioned that he saw a ring on the necklace that Roz always wears and I was just wondering (100% between us I SWEAR) what that's all about

JANE: This does not leave this chat

LISA: The information will have to be tortured out of me and even THEN I'll tell ‘em to fuck off!

LISA: Sisterhood of the traveling puck 🤞

JANE: Ilya and I are engaged

LISA: AHHHHHHH

LISA: Holy shit JANIEEEE

LISA: CONGRATULATIONS omg how'd it happen??????

JANE: With like 1000 (electric) candles all over

JANE: And then he KICKED the coffee table to the side and we… on the rug 🫣

LISA: Get it girl!! Omg I'm so happy for you guysssss

JANE: Thank you, Lisa. Really.

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒

CASSIE: How about that center Boston signed after Roz left? Fitz?

SELENA: I love how she just has those ready 💀

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
February 12th 3:20 PM

CASSIE: Jane I am mad at you

CASSIE: Not mad I'm just hormonal and need an outlet and I've chosen you

CAITLIN: Why are you mad by proxy at Jane?

CASSIE: It's Valentine's weekend and her man is in her city

CASSIE: And now she's not even replying!

SELENA: Baby reread why you're mad and see if you can figure out why she's not replying

LISA: GET IT JANIE

CASSIE: Now I'm more mad

February 12th 8:12 PM

JANE: 👋

NICOLE: Ooooh now she makes an appearance 🤣

CAITLIN: Cassie's gonna flip lol

CASSIE: Now you've decided to grace us with your presence!

JANE: Ilya needed a snack and some gatorade 😋

SELENA: Jane's a freak!

LISA: It's been like 5 hours 😳

CASSIE: 😡😡😤

CASSIE: (I'm not actually mad Im glad you're having fun)

NICOLE: Fun 🤣

March 24th
11:42 AM

CASSIE: So…

CASSIE: Shane?

CAITLIN: We know you've probably got a lot going on right now. But we're here. We support you.

NICOLE: We're here when and if you want to talk.

SELENA: Absolutely 💖

LISA: Whatever you need

March 24th 6:13 PM

SHANE: First, Thank you for reaching out. It means a lot. And that some of the guys reached out to Ilya. Second, I'm sorry for not being truthful. Ilya and I have been a thing for… many years. It's always been a secret. We originally planned to just wait until we retired to be out but then things changed. We got a little lax and we even made plans to come out this summer after we got married. But here we are. You all have been so supportive and kind and I really appreciate it. I never lied to you guys, other than the name thing, and kept all your secrets too. It was nice to be part of a group that is so supportive and caring. Thank you again, and I'm sorry.

CASSIE: You have nothing to apologize for. You were in a hard place and did what you thought was best and safest. We understand.

SELENA: And we love you! You're one of us whether you like it or not!

CAITLIN: Yeah! And it really sucks that the league is making them bench the both of you. It is so fucking stupid.

NICOLE: So dumb. Is your team at least supportive?

SHANE: No, not really. My coach is furious and the team is disgusted - not that I'm gay. I told them that already and like, they were less than thrilled or whatever, but they are pissed about the Ilya of it all.

LISA: What absolute fucking assholes

LISA: What are you guys going to do now?

SHANE: Our agent is writing a statement for us to post online. My coach told me not to, so I don't know. And we have a meeting with Crowell in Montreal, which is terrifying.

CASSIE: Crowell (derogatory)

CASSIE: If you need anything we're here! And now that we know it's you… you should come join us for a game night when you're off!

SHANE: Thank you, that's really nice. I'll let you know.

🏒The Real Housewives of Ottawa🏒
April 7th 2:42 PM

CASSIE: Shane, baby, you know we love you

CASSIE: But you're going down!

SHANE: Fuck off 😜 We are very busy right now and things are up in the air
