Shane Hollander is now a WAG...how did that happen

Summary

Shane has finally been added to the Ottawa WAGs group chat and is now officially expected to turn up to the social events, but he has more fun than he was ever expecting, and is happy to finally have friends who understand him. This is continuing on from the other works in this series so if you want full context please read the others, but I don't think it would be completely unreadable if you don't.

Notes

so I wrote this after a night out and I am now posting it after an evening spent in the pub. For now it is just one chapter but I am spending 2 days straight on a coach this weekend so I might write more...but there are a few others I am already working on.

Selena

***

Shane

I think Saturday 

The WAGs want to go to brunch

Ilya

You don't need to ask me 

Of course go 

I will spend the day with our beautiful daughter 

Shane

Are you sure?

Ilya

Yes Shane go

We have all the time to be together now

Go make friends 

Have fun

Get drunk 

I will pick you up 

Shane

Okay, love you x

***

Shane

Yeah i can come 

Where do you want to go?

And what kind place is it?

Lisa

OMG YES 

YAY

OK

so there's this place in town i saw the other day

Its got these purple flowers hanging over the door and the tables and its so cute

Caitlyn 

I know that place 

Evan took me there a few weeks ago 

Its sooooooo good 

And their cocktails are the best 

Harris 

I keep trying to get Troy to take me there but he hasn't yet

Cassie 

What's it called i want to look it up

Caitlyn 

I'll send the link to the website 

[Link]

Shane 

That looks nice

I've never had a cocktail before though 

Do they do other drinks?

Harris 

Never?????

Omg we are so getting you to try them

Shane 

You don't have to, I am happy with what I know

Cassie

Obviously we aren't going to force you into anything but we might find something you like 

Lisa

And if you don't like them one of us will definitely finish it 

Harris

And you get to try new things with new friends

Better friends 

And it will be the start of a wonderful summer where the guys are home to look after the kids and we get to go out more 

Caitlyn 

I can't wait

Evan is going to take Susie on so many little trips he showed me a whole plan of everything he wants to do with her 

It was so cute I nearly died

Cassie

Omg that is adorable 

I'm gonna make Zane do that 

Omg we should make them do it together 

Take bith babies out and we can have a day off

Selena

Omg we can set them all up on a daddy baby date and they can all have a cute day out

They can go to the zoo 

I'm going to make Nick convince the others to plan it so they think its their idea

Lisa

Georgie? Sarah? Please tell me you're coming too

Sarah

Yes absolutely I just had to tell Brandon he had to make plans with the kids all weekend 

Cassie

All weekend?

We're only planning to go on Saturday 

Sarah

I need time to recover if its Bottomless brunch I am going to make them regret that

Caitlyn 

Thats so real

I will join you in the endeavour 

Selena 

Georgie Boyle where are you?????

Georgie

I'm just seeing if my sister can take the twins on Saturday but if she can I will definitely be there

Lisa

Where is your husband

He made them he can look after them

Also if she can't take them I volunteer Wyatt as tribute 

Georgie

He's at some thing for one of his high-school friends that day (the one I hate which is why I'm not going)

Shane

If it helps I'm pretty sure Ilya would look after them too he's great with Haydens children 

Harris

OMG I need to see Ilya Rozanov with a baby

Shane 

It is very cute, he will make a great dad 

I can't wait until we have them

Caitlyn 

OMG I CANT WAIT EITHER 

Selena 

I think the whole world would die from cuteness 

Lisa 

I mean I love kids but Wyatt and I said we would wait until he retires from the MLH so I don't have to take loads of time off and so he's actually around 

But I would love to see Wyatt with a baby 

And a baby version of him 

Harris

OMG THIS GAVE ME THE PERFECT IDEA

Management have been pitching the idea of an under 12s team 

And they are going ahead with it just before the new season 

I can get the Cens to come and coach a game 

Omg this is amazing 

And will give everyone insane baby fever 

Troy with dogs is bad enough I might actually explode when he's with kids 

Cassie

Omg Harris I have the perfect picture for you 

[Photo taken at the last BBQ with Troy holding Milo who is poking him in the face with a chubby hand. Troy is smiling softly down at the baby]

Harris

Oh 

Wow

I'll be back 

Cassie

Harris?

Are you dead? 

Or are you fucking?

Lisa

Definitely fucking

Caitlyn 

100% but so would I 

I mean look at that man

Shane 

He looks like he would be a good dad

Selena 

Oh he absolutely would be the biggest softie

No way would he be able to say no to his child 

He can't even say no to our kids 

Georgie 

When the twins asked me to play with them he ended up crawling around the garden because he couldn't tell them no 

Sarah

He really is great with the kids 

But also Brandon is taking the kids to his parents for the weekend so I am in for brunch

Georgie 

My sister still hasn't said but I will be there 

I will find a way 

Lisa 

Georgie, Wyatt already said he will watch the twins for you, he said he will drag Ilya and Anya to the park

Georgie 

Wyatt is actually a god send Lisa you really go the best one 

Shane 

Ilya would love that, he was going to take anya out for a hike anyway and he said he would pick me up too.

Sarah

Omg he is actually the sweetest 

Shane

He really is 

Even if he won't let anyone else know

Selena 

Awwwww

Okay I've booked the table for 10am on Saturday for 8 of us

Me 

Lisa

Cassie

Shane

Harris

Sarah 

Georgie 

Caitlyn 

Thats everyone?

Shane

Yes 

Lisa

Perfect I am so excited 

Caitlyn 

Woooooo cocktailsssssssss

Sarah

What are we wearing

Georgie 

Matching? 

Maybe flowers

Ooooooo

Look at this dress its so cute 

[Link]

I might get it for this

Selena 

OMG it's perfect 

That would look so good on you 

I might wear this 

[Photo of Selena wearing a long light yellow dress with dark yellow flowers]

Sarah 

Oh so cuteeeeee

I only have a flowery top but it looks so cute with jeans 

Lisa 

I actually can't remember what clothes I have right now 

I'm in the middle of a 24 hour shift and running off coffee and adrenaline 

I'll get Wyatt to send me pictures of what I have to wear

Cassie

You could just wait until you get home to look Lisa

But also how do you even function working for 24 hours I would pass out 

Lisa

Coffee and adrenaline Cass thats how I function 

And if you passed out you would be in the right place 

Cassie

Very true 

I'm going to wear that short cream one with the pink and green flowers 

Sarah

What are you going to wear Shane? 

I won't even bother asking Harris he's probably still busy

Shane

I have no idea 

I've never really done anything like this before 

I don't do many social events, or any really.

Lisa

Omg don't worry we will help you 

At least you get to have the best friends now

Sarah

Don't stress about it its not a big deal at all

You will look great whatever you wear 

Georgie 

Absolutely you don't even need to match us with the flowers if you don't want to or have anything flowery 

Shane 

I definitely don't 

And Ilya’s flowery shirt is awful I hid it from him after the 2017 all stars game and he isn't happy about that

Cassie

What are you doing right now?

Shane

Nothing, why?

Cassie

I am coming over with Milo 

Ilya can watch him and we will plan an outfit for you 

Shane

You don't have to do that Cassie 

Cassie

I know I don’t but we don't want you to worry about it and this will be fun anyway 

And imagine seeing Ilya play with a baby 

Shane

Okay you have convinced me 

Georgie

Send pics 

We want to see the options 

Sarah

Ong yes please

Caitlyn 

Yeah and we can help from afar 

Or from work in Lisa’s case

Lisa

I will help if I am not busy 

Harris

I'm back 

What did I miss

Okay Saturday 

I have the perfect outfit already 

I will dress up for my girls (Shane you are included in that)

I have this light green short sleeved shirt 

And the perfect jeans 

Lisa

Harris what were you doing 

You took ages 

Caitlyn 

Longer than usual

Did you have to hunt Troy down this time

Harris

No he was in the bedroom...

Sarah

What did you do?!?!

Georgie 

GIRL TALK TIME 

Harris

I don’t want to over share 

Caitlyn 

The one rule of girl talk is that there is no such thing as over sharing 

Shane

Is that true?

Caitlyn 

Yeah trust me there is nothing we don't know about each other 

Sex lives included 

Shane

Okay

Good to know

Lisa

Does that make you uncomfortable?

Because we won't talk about it if it does

We want you to feel safe here too

Shane 

No its okay I don't want to change your space at all 

I've just never had anyone to talk about this with other than Ilya 

The whole idea of me being gay made the Voyageurs uncomfortable so I just didn't bring it up 

And its not something I would ever talk about with Hayden 

Georgie 

Shane this is your space too

We want you comfortable too

We aren't asshole Voyageurs

We're your friends 

Like actually your friends 

Cassie

Seriously we would do anything for you 

We love you 

Harris

More than we like Ilya 

Or our own men 

Sarah

I think even Brandon likes you more than the team 

Shane 

Well thats definitely encouraging for next season

But really its okay, if I get uncomfortable I don't have to read it, or I can just say right?

Caitlyn 

Exactly if anything gets weird for you let us know and we will change it 

This is a safe place for all of us 

Shane

Okay, I love you guys already 

Georgie 

We love you too babes 

But if you really are okay with it 

HARRIS 

Details 

Now please

Harris 

Okay okay 

So

I basically just jumped him ngl

He did not see it coming at all

He was just on the bed then I was on him 

And he was so shocked 

But just went with it because yk its me

Cassie

And you're hot af

Harris

Yes

So I was kissing him and yk 

I got him to fuck me 

Like really good 

I told him about how I saw him with a baby 

And that I wanted him to be the father of my children 

And omg 

He was into that 

Like a lot 

And Holy shit 

It was very good 

Like the best I've had in a long time 

And Troy said the same too 

He's still a bit out of it ngl

Which is why I'm back so soon 

Sarah

Soon?

You were gone a looooong time 

Caitlyn 

A very long time Harris 

Longer than usual 

I mean I get it 

Evan playing with Susie is the most attractive thing I have ever seen in my entire life 

It gets to me every time 

Might have to have another baby soon 

***

Cassie

[Ilya sat on the floor with Milo and Anya looking at them like they are the most precious things in the world]

Shane 

I think I have died and gone to heaven 

LOOK AT MY MAN

He needs a baby 

Harris

PLEASE CAN I POST THIS TO THE CENS ACCOUNT 

PLEASE

Shane

Ilya says yes

Cassie

I also say yes 

Harris 

Yay

This is gonna go so well

Cassie

Opinions needed 

[Photo 1 Shane in a light blue shirt sleeved shirt and beige shorts]

[Photo 2 Shane in a dark green linen short sleeved shirt and the same shorts]

[Photo 3 Shane in a sage green short sleeved shirt and and same beige shorts]

Lisa

I think 1 

But all the kids I have asked have said 3 

But you look great in all of them Shane

Caitlyn 

Definitely 3 but I also love 1

Selena

I am loving the sage green it would go soooooo well with the rest of us 

Harris

The green is great

I am wearing blue so it would also mean we don’t completely match 

Sarah

I love 2 but I think 3 fits much better and you look so good in green Shane you should wear it more 

Georgie

I’m with Lisa 

I like 1 but I also agree thet you look fucking amazing in all of them 

Actually where did you get that dark green one 

Its just wow

Shane

Sorry I’m not sure where it came from, Rose bought it for me

Georgie

ROSE?

AS IN ROSE LANDRY???

THE ACTRESS

YOUR EX GIRLFRIEND?????????

Please tell me its true

I’m actually obsessed with her

Shane

Yes, we are best friends I think 

Georgie

You think?

Please invite her to one of our hangouts 

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I will die 

And be forever greatful 

And love you forever

More than I love my own husband

I am serious

Shane

I can ask but she might be filming something

Harris 

Maybe she can come to a game

And help with some content…

Lisa

Omg she’s in that superhero movie right?

I love it so much 

I can’t believe you’re actually friends

Shane

I mean, we did date for a while

But after she basically told me I was gay, we decided to stay friends 

Like best friends 

Caitlyn

Omg that is so fucking nice of her

I want to be her friend now too 

But she had to tell you that you were gay?

Shane

I think I was in denial tbh 

I had been seeing Ilya for nearly 9 years at that point but hadn’t quite accepted that I wasn’t interested in women

So I tried, and failed

And went back to Ilya because I also realised that I love him, a lot.

Sarah

Omg that is so beautiful

I am so glad you’re happy now 

But we definitely need to meet her

Harris

Maybe we could have an evening at one of our houses and she could come too

And we can all be best friends 

And ROSE LANDRY 

OMG 

SHANE

Cassie

Yes Rose Landry, amazing we have to meet her I 100% agree

But which shirt?

1 or 3?

Lisa

1

Sarah

3

Caitlyn 

3

Selena 

3 

Georgie 

1

Harris

3

Cassie

No.3 it is 

Shane Hollander in sage green for brunch

I can’t wait

***

Sarah

[several photos of the group holding their drinks together each photo has everyone holding a different cocktail with an unopened can of ginger ale in the background]

***

Shane

Thank you for today, I had a lot of fun 

And I got very drunk, I don’t think I have ever drank that much before

Ever

Harris

It was amazing!!!!! We definitely need to go back there

Maybe for dinner next time

Lisa

Omg yessssss

And maybe we can bring the guys so they can pay…

Selena

No husbands

Or boyfriends

They can just send us the money

Cassie

That is so true 

They should pay 

But also they don’t need to be there 

Sarah

I can’t fully see straight still 

It's been a very long time since we've been out like that 

But omg it was so good 

Shane I had no idea you we so much fun 

We need to organise more things

Caitlyn 

Yes so many more

What if we all go to an away game then go out after

Though the guys might want to come

Even if they lose we should go out though

The team usually does something

Georgie

But they might want us to come with them if they go out after the game

Although that does mean personal bodyguards…

And they never really bother us if we tell them not to 

And they will happily follow us wherever we want to go…

Shane

And I will be part of the team next season so maybe I won’t be here anymore

Harris

No chance 

You are not leaving us 

Even if you are on the team 

You are one os is

Caitlyn

Yeah you’re a Wag now

Or a WaB I suppose

But you aren’t leaving us just because you’re on the team

Shane

Does that mean you will add Ilya though? He will also technically be a WaB

Lisa

Nope 

You were here first

Cassie

No chance you were here first 

You are the wab not him 

Even if he technically is 

Sarah

You’re the original and will stay here forever

Georgie

No offence but Ilya is not invited to our cult 

Because you were here first and have been better than we know he will be 

No offence 

Shane

None taken 

But I should also mention we will be WHaB’s by the end of the summer

Cassie

OMG yes 

You’re engaged

I thought you would wait a little longer?

You’re getting married this summer?

Shane

Yes, we decided an 8 year situationship and 5 years being official is enough time 

We want to make this permanent 

Lisa

OMG YES 

What's the date 

Where is it gonna be 

Are we invited?

Georgie

We won’t be offended if not but I hope we can be

Harris

OMG I am so happy for you guys 

Its been so long 

Congratulations

Shane

We don’t have an exact date yet but obviously you are all invited 

You’re my best friends, after Rose, she would kill me if I took that title away from her

And I’m not ready to risk that yet
