The Surprises | William Nylander

Summary: Kelsi and William decide to go all out on their Christmas presents for each other this year. A/N: This is part 2 to the It's Nice To Have A Friend trilogy! I hope you all enjoy it, and if you want me to release part 3 quick, please be sure to reblog the story and tell me your thoughts! Requested: yes / no Requests: Open  WC: 1,321 Warnings: Pregnancy, big life changes, fluff

William was excited. He had finally decided on what he was getting Kelsi for Christmas. She had always told him about her desperately wanting a Corgi puppy. She is also extremely passionate about adopting, and never shopping. And the day had finally arrived:

He was getting her a puppy.

Meanwhile in Kelsi land, she sits with her mother in the bathroom of her two-bedroom apartment. “What if it’s positive?” her mom asks her, looking down at the pregnancy test that is processing. “Are you guys ready for a little one?” “I… don’t know, mom.” Kelsi responds. “I mean, we’ve talked about it, and we want kids, and we want them soon-ish, but this soon?! William barely knows how to even tie his shoes!” Kelsi says, grabbing at her forehead.

William was thrilled. He practically ran into the humane society, causing Mitch and Morgan to make fun of him. “Willy, they’re not going anywhere.” Rielly teased. “I’m just excited to pick one out, leave me alone.” William responds, walking into the puppy room. His face lights up as he makes eye contact with one of the puppies. “Well, looks like we won’t be here for long.” Mitch says after they catch up, tracing William’s eyes to see the dog he was looking at. “That’s the one.” William smiles and walks over to the puppy. The pup sniffs his hand that was extended outwards, then places it’s head in his hand. William’s heart melts, and he uses his thumb to pet the puppy’s chin as the humane society worker walks over. “Hello, I see you’re taking a liking to Peanut.”

Kelsi glances down at the pregnancy test. Two lines. She looks up at her mom and tears up. “It’s positive, mom. I’m gonna have a baby-“ she says, running into her mom’s arms. “Am I going to be okay?” she asks, desperate for the comforting words that her mother is always able to come up with. “Of course, Kelly. You knew this was a possibility with your late period and not using protection,” Kelsi’s mother begins, “and you’re going to be perfectly fine. We’ll schedule you appointment with my doctor and get you an ultrasound as soon as possible, okay?” “Okay. Thanks, mom.” Kelsi says as she wipes her tears. This was scary, but she had her family by her side. And she knew William would be beyond excited for this new journey together.

William immediately began filling out the paperwork for Peanut. Everything about her was perfect. She was cuddly, but playful, and the people told him that she was already in the process of being potty trained. William made plans with one of his teammate’s to take her until Christmas day, in two days, when he can surprise Kelsi with her new baby. Little did he know, Kelsi was scheduling the biggest surprise of William’s life.

Kelsi’s big doctor’s appointment is scheduled for tomorrow. She is going to struggle with keeping the biggest secret of her life, but she’s so ready to see her baby and surprise William with this pregnancy on Christmas day. She gathered the rest of her materials to prepare for the surprise: a custom onesie that says “baby Nylander” on it, a small stuffed Carlton the Bear, and a “world’s best dad” water bottle. Everything was perfect, and she could not wait to tell William. She had always told him everything, and keeping this from him was hard.

William was excited. There he stood, in Spezza’s living room, just watching Peanut. He was excited beyond words to surprise Kelsi with the Corgi puppy of her dreams. Kelsi had plans with her mom, something about a surprise for him? But William thought that nothing could possibly be better than his surprise for her. She was going to be speechless when she finally gets to hold Peanut for the first time. Peanut is the best puppy William has ever interacted with. She’s calm, and a good listener. Whoever raised her until she got to him did an incredible job. William sits on the floor and starts to pet the small creature.

Kelsi is sitting in the ultrasound room. The ultrasound tech grabs the warm gel to spread on her stomach. “Are you ready?” she asks Kelsi. “Almost, give me a second.” Kelsi grabs her phone and starts to record. She hands it to the tech assistant to record for her, so she can get both the monitor and her face in the video. She is going to edit it down to show William on Christmas after she gives him the gifts. The ultrasound technician confirms that it is one baby, and that everything is going well so far. Kelsi is 6 weeks pregnant, and she is given the due date. She is given the printed sonogram and she heads out of the office.

The surprises were underway. Kelsi has her gifts for William wrapped up nicely in separate boxes, and the positive test with the ultrasound photos are going to be opened last. William has Peanut sitting in a box on the front porch, with Kingston. They agreed that Kelsi is going to open her gifts first, so William hands her the bag with all the puppy toys and treats in it. Kelsi opens it up and looks at him confused. “What do we need all of this for?” she asks him, in a high-pitched voice. “Go see Kingston,” he tells her, following after her as she runs out onto the front porch. 

Kingston had placed the lid on the box. “Lift this open.” he says, pointing to the top of it. Kelsi does as she’s told, and cries immediately after seeing Peanut. “William, you didn’t…” she starts, pure shock behind her words. “I did. Pick her up, her name is Peanut.” he smiles as he watches her pick up her new baby. “William, any other year I would not be able to compete with this, but this year, I think I can… Go open your gifts.” Kelsi smiles. Peanut snuggles into Kelsi’s neck as they walk back into the house for William to open his gifts.

He starts with the small stuffed Carlton. “Here, Peanut!” he says, trying to give it to the puppy. “No. Keep it. We’re gonna need it.” she smiles, and hands him the next box. This one, having the water bottle in it. William raises an eyebrow as Kelsi hands him the final box. He opens it and sees the test and the sonogram. “Are- Are you serious?!” Kelsi nods with excitement. “We’re gonna have a baby.” she smiles, as William gently engulfs her in a hug trying not to suffocate the 10 week old puppy in her arms. “We’re gonna have a baby! I’m gonna be a dad! You’re gonna be a mom! What?!” 

The rest of the day is spent as a family, talking about how far along Kelsi is and when the due date is, and playing with Peanut. Kelsi also shows everyone the video of her during the ultrasound. The family is far from complete, but they are content for the time being. Kelsi and William know that they want more dogs and more babies, but there is no reason to rush into that. They are still young and they have plenty of time to make it all work out. As for Kingston and Kylee, they are beyond excited to have a little niece or nephew. Kelsi’s mom is excited for her first grandbaby. Alex could not possibly care less, as long as Kelsi and William are happy. The Nylander’s are shocked as they didn’t know they were even trying, but to be fair, neither did the couple. Things have a strange way of working themselves out, and Baby Nylander is going to be loved by many. Peanut loves smelling Kelsi’s non-existent bump, too, so even the puppy is excited to meet her baby sibling. August cannot come fast enough.

I am in the process of writing a part two & a part three to the It’s Nice To Have A Friend trilogy. Get excited.

It’s Nice To Have A Friend | William Nylander

Summary: Kelsi and William grow up neighbors, go through high school together, and eventually fall in love and get married.

A/N: I wrote this months ago after seeing a video of him working out with this Taylor Swift song on in the background, and had to write it. I have been too anxious to post it, though, so I never did…until now. Please enjoy and give me feedback!

Requested: yes / no

Requests: Open 

WC: 1,759

Warnings: fluff, so much fluff

Kelsi gathers up her school supplies and makes her way to the front of the school. Her neighbor, William, sneaks up behind her and accidentally startles her. “Oh no, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” William apologizes, pausing for a second to make sure he didn’t scare her enough to make her cry. “It’s okay, Willy. It was an accident.” Kelsi confirms, grabbing William’s wrist to drag him out of the building.

Okay, so now that It’s Nice To Have A Friend has been out for a few days, should I write another Taylor Swift inspired story? Should I make new characters? Should I continue the Kelsi and William storyline? What do we think? Let’s talk about it.

It was an accident.” Kelsi confirms, grabbing William’s wrist to drag him out of the building.

They start to walk towards their houses. Kelsi notices her hands are cold. “Oh fiddlesticks, I lost my gloves.” William shakes his head at her. “My momma says we have to be careful with our belongings. It’s okay, though. Things get lost sometimes. We can go look in the Lost and Found for them together on Monday. Here, have one of mine.” William gently removes his glove and hands it to Kelsi. “But now your other hand will get cold!” She exclaims, refusing to put on his glove. “That’s okay, as long as one of your hands are warm.” Kelsi smiles at the boy as she reluctantly slides the glove on and continues walking down the road.

Their houses are within sight of the school. Oftentimes, their mothers sit together on one of their front porches and watch them walk home from school. They’re in second grade now, old enough to know where they live and how to get there on their own, but not old enough to do it without adult supervision. “Hey, Willy! Wanna come over and play hockey?” “Yeah, sounds like fun.” They arrive at the houses and drop their book bags off with their mothers, immediately running to get their sticks.

William agrees to play goalie first, so he positions himself in the net that Kelsi got for Christmas and waits for her to start shooting. After a while, they get tired and go inside to get some water. “You know what, Kelsi?” William says, out of breath from gulping down some of the ice water that Kelsi’s mom gave him. “What, Willy?” Kelsi looks at him with a glisten in her eyes. William takes a mental note of how pretty he thinks she looks. “I think we should have a sleepover in my living room.” Willy suggests. Kelsi nods and jumps off her seat. She makes her way over to her parents to ask for permission. “Mom! Can I spend the night at Willy’s?” Kelsi’s dad looks at her mom. “Our first date night in over a month? Yeah, you can. Go gather your stuff.” “Wow, glad I have some input on where our daughter sleeps.” Kelsi’s mother sarcastically tells her husband. “It’s okay, Miss Heather. Kelsi will be safe with us.” “I know, William. I know. Now, go help Kelsi pack.” And with that, he rushes upstairs to help his best friend gather things that they determined were necessary for their one-night sleepover.

The list of things included her fake candle, her diary, her brand new set of sparkly pens (but only after she threatened William that if he broke them, she’d cut his hair), her iPad, her charger, her two stuffed animals: one penguin, one narwhal, and her large box of board games that she knew they wouldn’t even touch once they got next door. “Ready, Kels?” William asks the girl. She stands up and grabs his wrist, just like she did at the school. “Let’s go, Willy.” Together, they run out of the house (after screaming a polite ‘goodnight, love you’ to her parents) and to William’s next door. Immediately after they get inside, Kelsi walks to the basement to get one of the many tents in the Nylander collection.

“Nice pick. Let’s get it up and get all of our stuff inside.” By the time they eat dinner and get everything in the tent, it’s time for them to go to bed. Laying on opposite corners of the tent with their feet facing each other, they whisper fun stories back and forth until they decide that they’re finally ready for bed. “Goodnight, Willy. Thank you for playing with me today. It’s nice to have a friend.” “It sure is.” William rolls over to find a comfortable spot in his sleeping bag. “Goodnight, Kelsi.”

Graduation was just around the corner and Kelsi didn’t know if she’d make it. She cannot figure out what quote she wants to use in her valedictorian speech, and she couldn’t even focus on writing it. The big draft was on her mind. William would be leaving her. They spent their whole lives together and just two weeks after they walk the stage and get their diplomas, William would be off to whichever city decides to take him.

Kelsi was proud of her friend, she was, but that doesn’t make the pain any easier to cope with. To add to the stress, her parents had just gotten divorced. Sometimes staying together for the kids just doesn’t work out. They had tried to fix their relationship by having another baby (even though Kelsi knew that her younger brother, Kingston, was the reason they fought most of the time anyway), but baby Kylee didn’t patch their cracks the way they hoped. Kelsi didn’t know how to cope. Kylee was barely a year old so she wouldn’t remember anything, which made the transition a little easier for everyone. But Kingston was attached to his dad, they were inseparable, and Kelsi had made plans to move away for college.

Toronto was calling her name. She had to go, she had gotten accepted to her dream school and she knew that if she didn’t spread her wings and fly now, she never would. She couldn’t imagine leaving her parents, her brother, her baby sister. But she had made the decision, and she had the moving date set. She knew that if she didn’t get a break soon, she’d be going completely insane. That’s how she found herself sitting on the roof with William and a few of his hockey buddies, playing 20 questions.

“Hello, Earth to Kelsi?” one of the boys says to her. She shakes herself back into reality and rolls her eyes. “What do you want?” “We asked you a question: if you could describe your current feeling in only a few words, what would you say?” he repeats. “I’ve been stressed out lately.” She looks down at her hands, waiting for William to tease her. That’s how their relationship worked, he always poked fun of her negative emotions because he saw her as the brightest and most bubbly person in the entire world. “Yeah, me too.” He reaches his hand out and softly touches hers. “It’s okay, though. We’ll get through it.” He nods, trying to convince not only Kelsi but himself, too. Kelsi nods in response, “You’re right, thank you. It’s nice to have a friend.”

Kelsi watches as Kylee has the finishing touches done on her hair. “What are you looking at?” Her baby sister asks. “You just look so grown up.” Kelsi smiles as she walks over to fluff the girl’s hair. “Kelsi, come on, I’m not a baby anymore.” Kelsi pinches Kylee’s cheeks, “you may not be a baby anymore but you’ll always be my baby sister.” she says, in a baby voice. “Okay, fine.” Kylee ends the conversation by softly pushing Kelsi into the seat and walking to get the bridal hairdresser. “Looks like it’s time to finish your hair,” Kylee smirks. The six year old had gotten quite ballsy with her older sister.

“Hey, Kelly. How ya doing?” Kingston walks in. Kelsi rolls her eyes. “Shouldn’t you be over with William, helping him get ready?” “Well, no. He’s all ready. In fact, we’ve already taken pictures.” “Shit, are we running behind?” Kelsi snaps her head over to their mother, the method behind the madness of the wedding. “No, Kelsi. We’re on time. We’re actually early.” Heather responds in a calming voice. “William knew you’d want a ton of pictures with your girls before the ceremony so he made sure to get ours taken early so you could have enough time.” Kingston states, causing Heather’s heart to melt. “What a man, Kelsi.” Kelsi rolls her eyes. “Where’s Alex?”

Kingston and the younger Nylander were the best of friends. Inseparable. They plan on going to the same college. Kelsi thought it was a bad idea. Those two could get into some serious trouble, but William got it through her head that it wouldn’t be as bad as she thought it would be. At least, that’s what he told himself. In all honesty, he was nervous, too, but he’d never let Kelsi know that.

The ceremony went by beautifully, the entire audience cried during the vows. “All the rice on the ground. It looks like snow.” “Kelsi? Are you alright? It looks like rice.” Kingston teases, which results in a slap from their mother in return.

At the reception, Kelsi started feeling anxious. William noticed and walked over to her. “It’s alright, you’re okay. I’ve got your back now. Every day.” “You can’t, you have things to do..” “Hey, you know you’re the most important thing in my life, right? You’re bluffing if you say that I’d put something above you.” Kelsi softly kisses William, “Thank you, babe.”

When they get home, after their shower and post-celebration activities, while they’re laying in bed just enjoying each other’s company, they’ll begin making some serious decisions. “Kids?” “William we have been married for less than 12 hours, can we maybe enjoy this life before jumping into having children?” “Nope. We’re going to stay in bed all weekend and enjoy each other, but starting next week…” Kelsi rolls her eyes. “No. We won’t be trying for a baby for at least six months.” “But you want one?” “Of course I want one. I want it to have your eyes, too.” Kelsi runs her fingers through his hair. “What if I want it to have your eyes?” William fights back, even though he knows he won’t win the battle. “It’ll have my nose.” Kelsi runs her finger along the bridge of her nose. “Let’s stop talking about this for now and go to sleep, okay Willy?” “Okay, baby.”

He wraps his arms around her and pulls her into his chest. “You know what, Kelsi?” “What, William?” “I think it’s nice to have a friend.” “We just got married and I’m being shoved back into the friendzone?!” William shrugs it off and they just hold onto each other as they slowly drift off to sleep.

I am the worst, but I have returned and I’m about to post a William Nylander fic. 👀

The Sharks posted ace pride flag wallpapers. I don’t care one way or another about the Sharks as a team, but to see a mainstream, major league hockey team post ace pride stuff? I’m shocked and really happy.

Too often our community gets overlooked. And on one hand, I get it, asexuality isn’t as widely known as gay and bi and stuff. On the other hand, we’ve been a part of the LGBTQA2S community just as long. We have a place at the table that gets ignored. To see a group with as wide a following as the San Jose Sharks post ace pride flag wallpapers is amazing. As long as NHL teams are going to acknowledge Pride month, they should acknowledge all of us.

[martynecass88]

Okay, so. I lied. I didn’t write this weekend.

Only because I couldn’t come up with somebody to write about.

I know it’s hard because you don’t know my writing style, but if somebody could request a player to write about that would be great.
