    Summary

    “I know you said you couldn’t do this week,” a woman was yelling from outside, “but I have to take an extra shift, and Magda is away. Ilya! Are you th-” She paused upon finally stepping inside, a colourful backpack hanging over her shoulder and a bag in her hand. “Oh.”

    Shane could hear Rozanov scrambling behind him, probably wiping his stomach off and pulling his clothes out of their rumpled sex state, before he stepped into view of the door.

    The small child who had been staring at Shane with her gigantic blue eyes turned at the movement, and her face split into a wide grin. “Papa!”

    Picking up right after the tuna melt scene Shane is confronted with Ilya Rozanov's secret child, a move that everyone except for the child is embarrassed and awkward about.

    Summary

    “Listen,” Pepper says. “I’m at the food bank right now and Ms. Zavala from R&D called in sick. She has two students coming in this morning to be interviewed for the internship, 9 AM. I won’t be back in time, so if you could just talk to them, or at least start with the first one, until I get back.”
    Tony processes all that a moment.
    “Tony?” she asks.
    “You’re at the food bank? How much do I pay you?”
    She gives another little huff. “Charity, Tony. Did any of the actually important things I just said register in your brain?”
    “Oh, all right. Consider it my charity work for today.”
    -
    Pepper should have known it was a mistake, setting Tony’s dumb ass on these kids.

    Summary

    “And then we never would have met,” Ilya goes on. “And you wouldn’t have to deal with me.”

    Shane punches Ilya in the arm, kind of hard. He’s so frustrated with this conversation, even though he knows Ilya needs to have it. “You fucking idiot. I would never want that. Never. Not in a million years. You think that would have made my life better, to never have known you?"

    Ilya is diagnosed with dementia, as he always expected he would be. Shane just keeps loving him, as he always knew he would.

    Summary

    “When are you going to invite me to stay?”

    Shane coughed. “I don’t know. I’ve been pretty busy with, uh… the charity, and the camp, and all the planning. It hasn’t been very relaxing.” It wasn’t a total lie. He had been working on the charity with Ilya and with his mom, and he was keeping pretty busy. It just wasn’t all work that he was busy with. A lot of it was he and Ilya making up for lost time, putting the shower pressure to good use, losing their clothes in every room and making a game out of finding them when it was time to do laundry. They had a score sheet. Shane was winning.

    Rose seemed to accept that excuse, and she talked for a little bit longer until Shane maneuvered his way off the call. Then, and only then, did he turn to look at Ilya. “Sorry about that,” he said, but Ilya only shrugged.

    “Is fine.” He put down his glass of water. “You should do it.”

    Shane was distracted by the way Ilya reached around his waist to pull food out of the pan and put it, still hot, into his mouth. After a beat too long, he asked, “Do what?”

    “Invite Rose Landry to the cottage,” Ilya said, like it was no big deal.

    (what it says on the tin)
