She has a job she loves great friends and a wonderful family. Life is perfect. Until a pregnancy test-or five-show up positive. Having a baby wasn't part of the plan but now becoming a mom is her only focus. And she doesn't need the father's help. But it would be polite to at least let him know.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Domenic Tremblay is going into his second season with the Denver Stampede and loving his new team. His childhood was rough but hockey is his found family. He's content focusing on his game and having a good time. Settling down? Being a dad? Not on his radar.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>When Ally shows up on his doorstep it's not for one of their memorable strings-free hookups. She's pregnant. Very pregnant. And he's freaked out. He knew he should have kept his hands---and everything else---to himself. She's his old teammate's little sister FFS.

Given his family history he has no business being a father but he's always wanted Ally in his life. Convincing her to move to Denver takes some doing and a lot of conditions: roommates future co-parents absolutely no funny business. But plans don't always stay on track.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>First came lust here comes a baby.
