Damn you, Cole Rafferty! When girl-Ricky (not boy-Ricky), collides with "Raff," her worst ex-frenemy, during a tense hockey game, it doesn't end well for her. For someone who's never had a problem "playing with the boys," the hospital bed is pure torture. She has no time for that. College is just around the corner. Her entire hockey career is hanging in the balance! Alone with her thoughts, Ricky is trying to recall why she "hates" the Rafferty family and falls short, despite the injuries. Yeah, their histories are intertwined, and they're sordid as all heck. True, there's an actual body count and that skate almost had her name on it. But Cole's a victim of his circumstances, too. It was probably an accident. That doesn't mean she has to "like him," like she used to, but still, the ice around her heart might be thawing, just a little. . . #Theshortys2026#Shortys2026#Shortstory#Hockey…

In letters to "Emily Rose," an expectant mother chronicles the nine months leading up to her daughter's birth. The journey begins with the word "pregnant" in late autumn and continues through three more seasons, two small towns, and many unforeseeable challenges. Through it all, those little kicks and flutters give her a warm sense of direction in a world that can be, at times, cold and unpredictable. By documenting her experiences, this mother hopes to preserve the precious memories, and make peace with her mistakes and the things she cannot change. And someday she will share this story with Emily Rose, when she, too, is faced with the challenge of becoming a woman and mother. This story was originally published on the parenting blog, http://sisterschance.blogspot.com (see External Link). Ready for a new adventure, it became @Fairytale_Fabler's icebreaker piece at the start of her Wattpad enterprise and it has since been listed on the Stories4Mom reading list.

And like mother and child, their true story even has a story, one that began as a good idea (and a unique opportunity for self-reflection) and developed over the years into something stronger and wiser.
