He is one of the best goaltenders in the league.
He's also hated by his teammates.
He didn't mean to be a troublemaker but why not lean into it?
There wasn't anyone to stop him.
Until he met her...
A Jeremy Swayman AU

"I can't believe that asshole has the balls to try and see Leia. What I wouldn't give to kick his balls so far up him, he'd cough them up."
I snorted with a laugh. "How did I not know about your violent side, Warrior Princess?"
"I am not violent. It just, she's been through enough with her mom and everything." Stella looked out the window. "I know you didn't know, but your actions hurt her a lot."
I went quiet. "You know I was just frustrated and stuff and that I feel like an ass already."
It was her turn to sigh. "I know. Sorry. Bret just brings out my murderous side," she said with a smile.
"I didn't realize that you woke up and chose violence." She grumbled something that I didn't hear. "What was that?"
"He ruined morning sex," she whined out. This time I laughed out loud. "What?"
"Nothing," I reply, still chuckling. :Didn't realize that it was a national emergency." She looked at me confused. "Morning sex. They way you whined about it. Were you going to jump me, warrior princess?"
"And you would have enjoyed it, Swayman," she replied with a smirk.
Fuck yeah, I would have.
We arrived at Andy and Leia's house and took the long way to get to the front door to avoid the douche in the driveway. Stella rang the doorbell and put on a smile. I shoved my hands in my pocket because I really wasn't sure how this was going to go.
Miranda opened the door and her mouth fell open. "Why?"
"That's an interesting greeting, Miranda." Stella rolled her eyes. "I brought back up."
"Leia, please come over here," Miranda yelled behind her.
I sucked in a breath when I saw her. Leia was now obviously pregnant as she walked over. "What is it... Jeremy?!"
Stella immediately starts talking. "I was working on stretches with Jeremy when Miranda texted. What better than a six-foot two hockey player to help?"
"Hi Leia." I kept studying her face and body. As much as I wanted to say that I regretted leaving the potential relationship, I'm glad I did. I couldn't handle not being the father to her baby. If I wanted that, I would want to have been there to create it. I offered a smile to her.
"Hi Jeremy." She keeps a neutral face except for a wince and then starts to rub her belly. "Umm, as you can see," She looked around me, "I have an unwelcome guest in my driveway."
"I can't believe this douche had the nerve to come here," Stella said. "Can I kick him in the balls?"
"Relax Warrior Princess," I said with a smirk. "I'll handle it." I turned and walked towards Bret. The douche in question was leaning on a BMW sedan like he owned the world. I had about three inches on him and about 15 pounds, mostly muscle. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
