“I mean...I can be?” he snickered, grabbing the right brush. Andrew wasn’t a dumbass and wasn’t about to pull weaponize incompetence. If he could remember how to hit a certain skate routine, he would brush a horse. Andrew approached Phantom and let the horse sniff the brush in his hand, just so the horse knew what was going on. Also, to signal that another person that wasn’t Aurora was about to touch all over him.
“Yeah, it was fine. I was early as always, but it doesn’t help that we live a walking distance away from his daycare,” he replied, starting to brush along Phantom’s spine. “I managed to fix the toilet that was having issues and get a load of laundry done. It’ll be interesting to see how much more I can get done when Alexi is in school full-time. I might see if I can get into some more coaching. What about you?”
He was doing it. Andrew was finally caving and getting onto a horse. He knew the day would happen at some point. Andrew knew it was time since Alexi was getting older. Aurora needed help, but that wasn’t Maeve. He didn’t know why it was such a pressing matter for him, but the band-aid had to come off. Quick and painless. At least, he hoped it would be. Aurora wouldn’t let him damage himself too much.
Andrew got dressed and made his way to the barn, after dropping Alexi off at Courtney’s. He knew he wasn’t dressed properly, but jeans and a light cool jacket were better than athletic shorts and a T-shirt. “Yes, I’m here,” he smiled. “Ah, so free labor out of me too?” he joked. “But alright...you show me what to do first.” Gosh, he felt like a kid in grade school.

the history
father • Christopher, 74, retired mother • Elizabeth, 70, retired siblings • Jacob (34), Emilie (28) important people • Aurora (fiancée), Maeve (foster daughter), Alexi (adopted son) hometown • Edmonton, Canada overall history • Andrew grew up on a farm with his two siblings and his parents. They were all required to help on the farm. They helped on the farm, went to school, and all did a sport of some kind. His sport was hockey and by the time he got into high school he wanted to play professionally.
He was waiting to see if he would be drafted and wasn't even ranked for the draft. He sent out a letter to all the teams at that time to try to get them to draft him. He didn't end up getting drafted but played through college and signed with a team. He moved his way up the ranks and became the captain of his team before agreeing to step down. He knew the team was going for a change, and of course, he was fine with it.
He had already won the Stanley Cup once and was fine with just playing on a team and having fun while doing his best. As he was playing in a game in November he was injured while being hit into the boards and had to have shoulder surgery before moving back in with Aurora.
Aurora was already in Hickstead by the time he left, making the transition out of the professional world easier. He wanted to support her as she did him. The pair moved and settled in easily. Through the years, Andrew does help Aurora at the stalls to keep her company. He has yet to get on a horse himself.
Since being in Hickstead, Andrew is a devoted househusband. He and Aurora decided to foster children, adopting their son Alexi after falling in love with him right away. They are currently fostering a teen named Maeve. Andrew loves fatherhood, albeit difficult. But is happy to have a low profile life and schedule.
