AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Before you all start reading just know without reviews I will not be updating this story, it's always annoying when people favorite and follow your story but yet won't review it...

So the first chapter is more of Haven's life as a child, and why her life is the way it is. It goes from how her parents met/broke up to when she was a young child, then to brief quick sum up of her going through District 5; the Goodwill Games; and the first year of Eden Hall as she begins a relationship with Bombay. It's more about her life with Bombay and her mother and grandparents with a little bit of her new stepfather on the side… Her relationship with the Ducks will come when the story is set in the present. (So all future chapters after this one.)

The story will be taking place in modern day, not back in the 90's when the films were made. It's too weird for me to try and imagine what life was like for teenagers back then when I was kind of just a being born (late 1994) when the first Mighty Ducks movie came out.

Also sorry for any spelling mistakes…this first chapter does drag out a little and is a bit information overload.

Prologue

Chanel Haven Williams had never legally gone by her father's last name. Hell, she hadn't even known who he was or what he even looked liked until seven years ago when she was nine and beyond curious digging around for answers. After discovering who the sperm doner that helped created her was she still didn't develop a relationship with her father till she was eleven and well into the 6th grade and the wonderful awkward pre-teen years.

The Bombay name before that was a name that was rarely used in the Willams household, in fact it was a name that had never been mentioned or brought up until a few years ago. To know why Bombay was barely ever mentioned or brought up in conversation you would have to know the full story. The story that told why Haven Williams didn't legally go by her father's last name but was now more than willing and wanting to take it on in present day.

You would have to know about her childhood and past; and you would also have to know about her parents' past.

Her mother and father were high school sweethearts; they began dating when her mom was a freshman at Eden Hall and her dad a junior. Their relationship from what Haven's been told from others wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. The young couple from what had been explained to her, fought a lot and could barely ever agree on anything…, but for as hard as they fought she was told that they loved just as hard. They continued to date all the way till the start of her mother's Final year in high school and Gordon's sophomore year in college. The break-up from what Haven understood was her mom's doing with her wanting to see what else was out there and experience different relationships and things before she had to grow up and be an adult.

The two had kept in minor contact after the split, only bumping into one another at mutual friends' get-togethers and/or some of their family's' business holiday parties that they were each forced to go to and play nice at. They were always somewhat friendly and polite with the other but other than that on those few occasions they were each more then happy with staying out of the other's life.

It wasn't until three years after the split when they ran into one another both attending one of their university's frat parties where each individual had a little bit too much to drink causing things to get a bit out of hand and kicked up a notch..,and well, one thing led to another…

Words were said; kissing was done; and cloths were shed. In the morning they both avoided one another and went on their merry way thinking that it was it was just a one time thing..., a lapse down memory lane and that nothing more would come of their little roll in the sack that they were too drunk to fully remember..., but obviously it wasn't the end of it.

Not when two months later Rochelle came pounding on Gordon's door huffing and puffing all red in the face screaming at the top of her lungs that this was all his fault. That he had planned this all along and that her life was now ruined. Gordon of course didn't put two and two together until she slammed her hand over her mouth in mid-rant running for his dorm room ensuite to empty the contains of her stomach. At the understanding of what Rochelle was now bitching and groaning about Gordon Bombay promptly fainted, landing with a loud thud on the wooden floors of his dorm room floors, succeeding in giving himself a concussion.

When her mom and dad had officially gotten the news that Rochelle was pregnant by her doctor and not just some cheap pee on the stick sort of thing, it didn't go over smoothly for them either. Both families of the two parties were clearly upset with the news seeing as Haven's mother, Rochelle; was then only nineteen at the time and Gordon twenty-two with another two years left of pre-law school; well on his way to graduating top of his class with honors and a possible internship with a prestigious high end law firm. But even though both parties didn't react well to the news, Haven's grandparents on her mother side didn't want the abortion that everyone else was considering and talking about. They wanted the child to be born. So, with that in mind, her grandparents agreeing that they would help with the cost and raising of the unborn baby, her mother fought for full custody over Haven while only in her second trimester of pregnancy, only seeking child support and finances from Gordon and his family.

Haven had been told right from a young age by her mother's parents who had always been overly attendant and dotting with her that it wasn't that her biological father was a bad person…, it was just that he was very driven and determined to be the most successful lawyer in all of Minneapolis and Minnesota and wasn't ready for a baby. She had also been told that Gordon Bombay had been under extreme pressure from his own grandfather (who served as the father figure in his life since his own dad had passed away when he was thirteen) to always be the best, and nothing but. Second was never good enough. He wasn't allowed any shortcomings when it came to the head of the Bombay's. It was just simply not allowed in the 'then' Bombay household. And having a baby take up a majority of his time meant he would lose opportunities and major clients with those repeatedly, Haven had been told the story that the pressure to live up to the family name was the leading factor to Gordon giving her up so easily with no fight for any kind of rights or visitation privileges.

It also made the story ten times more believable when she was told that her paternal (great)-grandfather; Geared, was more than willing to pay off her mother for any expenses for the first ten years of the then unborn Haven's life so that his grandson would be able to make a good steady name for himself without distractions. Her mother had easily agreed to the settlement, taking the money in exchange of stepping out of Gordon's life without any second thoughts. And so on Haven's birth certificate, it always read Williams as her last name not Bombay.

~000~

Now, Rochelle had never been the emotional or sentimental type, and she definably wasn't the maternal type either. She was always timid and awkward around children, not knowing how to communicate or act with them. Haven's grandparents; Christopher and Lottie Williams took notice of that in the first year or two of Haven being born, but neither of them had the heart to take their granddaughter out of their daughters hands…, (legally anyways) they too had a reputation they wanted to keep as unscathed as possible, just as the Bombay's family did. The elder Williams' could handle the talk and rumors of their daughter getting knocked up at nineteen as a sophomore in college with no intent on marrying the baby's father. But they couldn't deal with the possible shame and negativity that would come to the family, if word were to get around about the negligence their daughter brought when it came to being an actual parent. So that's where they stepped in. On the weekends and some of the weekdays when her mother continued school to finish her degree, Haven would stayed with her grandparents getting the appropriate nurturing and love that her grandpa and grandma knew she wasn't properly getting at home.

Her mother's excuse for why she wasn't a very attentive parent in the beginning was because she had school and all those exams to worry about, and she couldn't handle the pressure of passing her classes as well as taking care of an infant 24/7. Then as Haven grew into a toddler her excuse was, 'I can't possibly look for a job as a professional with a four year attached to my hip! She's got too much energy to sit still and wait like a good kid in the lobby for me to finish up my interviews!' And it was true, Haven did have a lot more energy than most kids her age, which is saying a lot because most four years olds were always up and running wanting to be on the go constantly. So, her grandfather came up with the clever idea of signing his little princess up for skating classes, hoping it would tiring the little squirt out a few days out of the week.

But no one expected for Haven to pick up on the skating so easily and so; so very quickly. It came naturally to her. What was originally suppose to be only two days a week for one hour a day quickly turned into four days a week for two hours a day! Rochelle was excited about the aspect of her daughter being a little skating princess and began to sign her up for more classes. Any skating class that could fit her daughter and not overdo the young girl too much she was signed up for. It was one of the first real generous things that Rochelle had done for her daughter in the four years of her being born. But even with it being generous, it wasn't fully out of the kindness or the love from her heart; it was more towards the selfish side of things. Rochelle was already beginning to think of the future and the possibility of the Olympics with gold medals and huge endorsements. She had put it into her head that her daughter was going to be one of the greats, and that she; her mother was going to be the reason for that greatness.

Haven's grandparents knew what their daughter was thinking and only allowed the skating to continue since they knew how much Haven had fallen in love with it. The kid lived to skate and just felt so at ease and calm when she was on the ice! So they told themselves that if Haven were to ever express her distaste or tiredness of the sport they would pull her from the program with no hesitation, rather Rochelle liked it or not. They would not let their granddaughter be pushed into something she didn't love or have a passion for. That was the last thing that Christopher and Lottie ever wanted.

By the time Haven was seven she was taking one ballet class to addition to her four skating lessons a week to improve her flow and grace on the ice, and was traveling all over the state for competitions, almost always taking the gold in every one. Her mother had only showed up for one…, leaving halfway through it though, claiming she had to take a business call.

Rochelle at that time had begun dating a guy named Todd and would always bail out on her competitions to spend more 'quality' time with him. Todd had attempted to warm up to Haven, buying her lots of gifts and taking her mini golfing and bowling once or twice a week but she never felt the right connection to really warm back up to him. They mainly spent those outings in silence with occasion small talk here and there. Haven didn't trust the guy, even though he was around her more than her own mother was…there was something in her childlike mind saying that he wasn't a good man.

A tiny part of her distaste may have also had to do with the fact that he and her mother kept insisting to call her Chanel no matter how many times she told them she now wanted to be called Haven because it fit her better. Reason for the major change in her name was because when she had turned five she learned that her name Chanel came from her mom's favorite designer company. Her mom had gotten her a small set of Chanel diamond studs for that birthday with a long passionate lecture as to how Coco Chanel was so amazing and great and that she should feel a sense of gratified to be named after something that has such fine history and beauty. After witnessing how passionate her mother had become while speaking about this 'Coco Chanel',Haven had immediately taken a dislike to the company and its name. She had never seen her mom get such a dreamy far-off look in her eyes before… she knew for a fact that Rochelle never had that look of adoration when she was speaking of her to others. And that hit deep in the heart for Haven.

Haven had never told anyone the real truth behind her resentment she held for the name and company to anyone. Instead she just told everyone that she preferred to go by Haven was all. Ever since that fifth birthday of her's, she had become tremendously stubborn about it and would get extremely upset if anyone refused to not acknowledge her request.

It's now known to everyone as one of her biggest pet peeves.

When Haven turned seven Rochelle had hired a private coach for Haven to continue on with her figure skate training on a higher level. It was also the age where Todd had moved in with them and became a bigger present in her life while she wasn't staying over at her grandpa and grandma's house on the weekends.

It was when Haven was eight years old when she discovered what her father looked like. No one had ever shown her a picture of him previous to that. Her mom never bothering to think that Haven would care enough to know, and her grandma and grandpa not wanting to dig up a grave that had been long buried weren't sure if they should…, that was till she had seen his name boldly printed with a picture displayed next to it on the front page of 'The Minneapolis Times'. It was about some big court case or the other that he was handling. She tore the clipping out and taped the picture and article into her journal that she had started to keep the previous year writing underneath it , 'One day, I will meet my father. And I know that he will be everything that I have ever dreamed of and more.' It wasn't long after that the curiosity had gotten the best of her and she started to ask to meet him in person.

So with enough begging and pestering for months on end to her mother and grandparents, an arrangement was finally made up for Haven to finally meet Gordon Bombay a few days after her ninth birthday.

~000~

The first get-together with father and daughter didn't exactly go how either Haven or Gordon would have liked. It was awaked and uncomfortable for both parties, with him being reserved and unsure on how to act with a kid, much less the daughter who he was only just meeting for the first time since her birth nine years previously. And Haven being the overly animated chatter she tended to be when she is anxious, made Gordon all that more nervous with her mouth going a million miles a minute wanting him to know as much as possible about her and her life in hopes that he'd soak up all the information and want to be involved in her life from now on out.

By the end of the meeting, Gordon had dropped her off at her grandparents' home as he was instructed too with no clear intention on if he wanted to see her again or not. And with that unclear feeling left in the air, Haven had gone without seeing or asking for her father for another two and half years before he suddenly showed up at her grandfather's office, unannounced one afternoon, randomly asking for her to join his new pee-wee hockey team.

Her grandfather was a bit hesitant on saying yes at first, not wanting his granddaughter to get her hopes set high on gaining a relationship with her father again, for it to just fall to pieces for a second time. But after Christopher talked with his wife later that night they had both decided that Gordon request wasn't too far out there, especially since their little Haven practically lived on the ice. It was the one thing that she had undeniably inherited from her father. She would just have to adjust to skating with hockey skates instead of figure skating skates with a toe pick was all.

The pee-wee hockey team was a disaster at first. It was clear that Gordon Bombay didn't just not know how to act around his daughter, but around all children. He at first tried treating them like adults and when that didn't work he'd yelled and talk down to them, earning him the name 'Caption Blood'… it was traumatizing for Haven, making her despise the days when she had hockey practice. Her dream of her 'perfect' father was crumbling right in front of her eyes, again.

It wasn't until one day when he was extremely hard on the group of kids where Haven had yelled back saying he was a horrible person and that she wished she had never met him that Gordon Bombay's icy cold heart began to thaw. He had never really expressed to anyone before that he had been wanting a relationship with his daughter for the last eleven years of her life, and that he had never wanted her to be taken out of his life in the first place…, but he was just too scared to stand up to his own grandfather and family name back then to do anything about it... And then when he had met her those few years ago previously, the nerves had gotten the best of him.

He was just terrified of manning up and actually taking that role as a real father. He constantly asked himself what if he messed up? Then what? And what if once Haven actually got to know him she decided she didn't like him and didn't actually want him in her life. There was just so many different serniros going through his head that he psyched himself out from going to see her or call for those two years later. He didn't want to be a failure in her eyes.

Gordon didn't want to be a coward this time around. He wanted a real relationship with his daughter. So this time around he was going to glue his feet down to the ground and build that relationship with his eleven year old child, no matter how difficult it was or the struggles that came with it.

So, after that eventful practice when Gordon was taking Haven back home, he decided to stop at a small diner to get them some milkshakes with the attempt to bond with her once more. At first it was a bit rough, but after Gordon had ordered her a special cheesecake a few minutes after he had gotten their milkshakes; Haven had started to warm up to him. Gordon had learned in that one sitting that she was very close with her grandparents and that her mother was too busy being engaged to Todd to attend any of her skating competitions and didn't even know she was learning to play hockey on a team that he was coaching. He learned that her favorite color was a maroon/burgundy and that she loved when her grandma would curl her blonde hair into wavy curls that reached to the middle of her back. She loved pineapple and bananas…and really loved cheesecake. She despised being called Chanel. She was one of the top junior figure skaters in the mid-west and had come in third for the junior nationals the year before and was hoping to get first or second this coming year. Her favorite movie to date was Hocus Pocus because her birthday was the day before Halloween. She was afraid of snakes and would cry at the sight of them. She was also scared of water because of a near drowning experience from just the year before. She really enjoyed going to amusement parks and having her grandfather ride all the big roller-coaster with her. She also enjoyed tagging along on her grandpa's golfing trips because he would let her drive the golf-buggy for him and his colleagues. She loved wearing dresses but also liked to now wear different hockey jerseys to school to show her newfound love for the sport. She had known Adam Banks previous to him just joining the Ducks because they went to the same elementary school and now middle school. Pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni or some sort of Mexican food was her favorite thing for dinner.

~000~

Gordon and Haven continued to bond as they got further and further into the pee-wee season. Even after the District 5 team won their division the father and daughter continued to grow closer with Haven's grandpa even taking her to a few of his minor leagues games in support of his once more budding hockey career. He also went to as many figure skating competitions as he could, being there to cheer her on as she took another third place national junior title at age twelve. Then later that year he gathered the Ducks back together to play for the Junior Goodwill Games taking her and the team to L.A with him. By this time Haven was thirteen and her mother had finally been told by Haven's grandparents that her daughter was spending all her free time with her dad who was taking a more active role in her life than she ever had. Rochelle didn't like that, first of all not being told for almost two years that Gordon Bombay was back in the picture. And secondly, she was getting ready to marry her fiancé Todd and was still hoping that Haven would take on Todd's last name as her own and even start calling him dad.

By the time Haven was fourteen and halfway through the eighth grade she was the now the two-time national champion title holder for the junior level division and place both fourth and second for the last two years for the junior worlds always right under the Russian star skater who was the same age as she. She had also started to write her name out as Bombay in her classes and requesting to be called Haven Bombay at competitions instead of Chanel Williams or at least Chanel Bombay; she was proud to be her father's daughter and wanted the world to know who her dad was.

Then came her freshmen year at Eden Hall, the school her parents attended as teenagers and the school that she was now going to be attending rather she was on scholarship or not, and rather the Ducks attended or not. She was ecstatic when she learned that the rest of the Ducks would be going to the same school as her, they would be forming the new JV team! She had never been in the same school as any of them before besides Adam, so this was amazing news to her. But she was bummed to learn that her dad wasn't going to be the coach for the new JV team this time around, him turning down the offer so he could go back to being a defense attorney and working with the Junior Goodwill Games full time. She understood his desire to get back into law and take on a new challenge with the Goodwill Games and respected it, she was just sad they wouldn't be spending as much time together as they would have if he were still the coach.

So now, that leaves us to present day (fall 2013) where Haven is fifteen and entering her sophomore year of high school. She was also gearing up to enter the senior level of skating where she'd be able to qualify for the 2014 Winter Olympics, which was only five months away!

Haven had begun taking up more training that summer as her mom said it would help greatly with preparing for the Olympic trials in December not noticing the stress it's was starting to put her under with the current training she was already doing along with school grades and hockey to soon worry about again as well. Not only that but Haven was also under the constant pressure from Todd with things that not even her mother knows about. And though Haven was still close with her father and grandparents it didn't mean she told them everything….especially things that went on behind closed doors in the home that was her mother's and Todd's.

After all, things that were behind closed usually tended to stay behind closed doors….until they blew up for the whole world to see that is.
