Free Jana Leigh by Fire, Ice (Taming Team TEN Book Four)

tears that were already gathering in her eyes.
    The baby must have picked up on her emotions because he started to fuss.  Brin tried to sooth him but he was n't having anything to do with being soothed.  She felt her heart strings pull as she looked at her child and remember that she would never be able to show him off to her brother.  Sadness enveloped her as she thought of everything her brother would miss.
    “ Shhh,” she whispered, still feeling upset with the letter lying on her leg.  She really didn’t want to open it, because it would make things more real. Brin looked at the two men and whispered, “I don’t think I can.”
    G rant shifted and placed a hand on her leg while Jessie touched the other one and both were rubbing her.
    “ It’s okay, we don’t have to read it now,” Jessie murmured.  He felt a breeze behind him and knew his teammates were in the room.  He turned his head and watched as Emo walked to the head of the bed and looked down at his sister and their son.  The look of longing on his face was enough to make Jessie suck in a breath.
    Brin looked at Jessie and whispered , “What?”  The baby suddenly quieted down and Brin looked down in confusion.  She could see the soft new baby hair moving slightly, as if something was rubbing against his head and she frowned.
    Jessie cleared his throat and said , “Mark is here.”  Brin looked up at him in surprise and Jesse looked back down before whispering, “Long story, but I can see him.  He is touching the baby’s head.”
    “ So, does this long story involve a stay at the mental institution?” Brin said slowly, and for the first time since Jessie arrived, she looked at him closely.  His looked the same, maybe a little thinner, and the twinkle in his eyes, which attracted her in the first place, was dimmed. 
    Jessie rolled his eyes, “No, but it probably could help.  There are probably a million reasons you shouldn’t believe me about this.  But it all started when Sable, Wolfman’s sister, needed help,” he said and explained how the whole ‘I see dead people’ came about.
    Brin listened with awe, and thought either she was having a mental break or this was a dream because she really began to believe what he was saying.  Maybe it was the hope of knowing her brother was at peace, maybe it was the meds the doctors gave to her while she was in labor, who knew.  What it boiled down to was that she believed him. 
    Her eyes cut to Grant who shifted in the corner listening intently and looking at her reaction.  She couldn ’t explain why she felt drawn to him but she did.  And she wanted him to believe what Jessie was saying too.  As she looked between the two drop dead gorgeous men, she thought what wonderful fathers they would be, not like her father who ruled their home with fear.  Grant was kind, attentive, and had a great sense of humor.  She had crazy thoughts of what it would feel like to be wrapped in his arms, sitting in front of a fire.
    Then she looked at Jessie, he was raw masculinity at its finest.  She knew he was gruff on the outside but soft in the middle, she had seen it.  The one glorious night they spent together had shown her what it would be like to belong to Jessie.  It was something she longed for now.  He was like Godiva chocolate, once you actually could afford a taste of it, you felt cheated with any other.  Grant was the only man she thought would be the exception to that.  She felt the same way about both of them.  How on earth was she ever going to lose either of them.  They would both make wonderful fathers and role models, just like her brother would have.
    She felt the tears flow as she thought about her brother getting to see his nephew.  Her son closed his eyes in a soft sigh and laid his head on her chest and she watched the hair still move. 
    “ I want to name him Marcus,” Brin whispered.  “So he will always remember what a brave and wonder man his uncle was.”
    She
