Underneath It All (Storm Series)

by Carr, Cassandra

  Rob found the two of them sitting together on the couch with Jaela. Smart girls. And smart Jaela. He walked in, smiled at the woman he assumed was Becca, gave a wink to Jaela and pulled Alaina up, taking her into his arms then kissing her deeply. She shrieked, but he chuckled and continued to kiss her. Scant seconds later, she responded and he pulled away.

  He held out the hand not still clasping Alaina’s waist to Becca, a tall, thin woman with a killer smile. Rob liked her immediately, sensing a kinship regarding their outlooks on life. “Hi, I’m Rob.”

  “You better be, or else things are about to get real interesting around here,” she answered. “I hope my phone is charged. Better look up the e-mail for TMZ.”

  He laughed. “Oh, I like her.”

  “So do I.”

  God, he’d missed this. Rob was immensely grateful for even these little moments off the ice. Sure, the on-ice trials and tribulations fueled his competitive spirit, but this sense of home and family was what he’d been looking for.

  Turning to Jaela, he said, “How’s that beautiful baby? I can’t believe Ben managed to get so few genes into that kid.”

  Jaela smacked him, but laughed. “I’ve got a new picture. This is her at Christmas.” She handed the photo over and Rob took a look before tilting it so Alaina could see.

  “You know, I think I’d like one of those things.” He looked at Alaina. They had the foundation, but he wanted more. “What do you think? Wanna start?”

  Alaina’s mouth dropped open.
