That small trip Atlas and I took was well deserved despite it being a little chilly considering it's November.

The Devils have a few days offs which Jack decided to spend with me. He stayed overnight which is a first. Now I'm just soaking in the bathtub with a bath that Jack ran for me.

A little after a while I decide to step out and eventually change into Jack's hoodie and a pair of sweats.I spot Jack sitting on the dinning table with his laptop open.

"Hi Momma" I hear him talk.

"Hi honey! How're you doing?" the voice replies and I assume it's his mom.

"I'm doing good. How's everything back home?" he questions.

"Everything's doing fine. Luke's doing good. He's waiting for you and Quinn to come over and watch him play"

"Awwwh we both miss him a lot. I miss my little moosey" Jack coos.

He's really cute when he talks about his brothers. Honestly.

"Anything else going on?" his mom questions.

"Not really when are you coming over here again?"

I'm eavesdropping my God

Jack spots me and smiles. I start blushing and I try to hide my face with the hood as I walk over to him.

"Is that Rory?" I hear my name and I freeze with my eyes wide open.

I watch as a smirk creeps within him as he tugs on his hoodie that I'm wearing as I smile at the camera.

"Hi! Good Morning Mrs. Hughes!" I greet.

"It's nice to meet you Rory and you can just call me Ellen" she smiles.

"It's nice to meet you too even if it's through a screen" I speak up.

"I hope Jack isn't making so much trouble for you" she teases.

"Mom!" He says as we laugh.

"He isn't I promise" I smile as I feel him play with the waistband of my Calvin's.

I decide to sit on his right thigh so that his mom can see me better. His hand moves down even more and fuck I want him to-

"Rory? Sweetheart?" Ellen calls and I snap out of it.

"Uh yes? I'm sorry can you please repeat what you said? I- I just woke up-" I start to panic.

"-It's perfectly fine honey. I was just asking if you've been to Michigan because Jack's never mentioned it" she talks.

"Oh uhm I haven't. I've been to Toronto though" I smile.

I grip Jack's hand in attempt to make him stop as he presses a kiss to my shoulder...in front of his mom.

Why-

"I'd love to meet you next week if you're not busy" Ellen mentions.

Huh wait she's coming over to Jersey?

I look over to Jack with a shocked expression as his remains the same.

"You're coming over next week?" I question.

"Jim and I actually. Are you busy on Wednesday?" she questions.

"I have to check my schedule but I'll definitely let you know" I smile.

"Of course" she replies.

"I'll let you know? Or if there's a day we can work out" I add.

"Yes sure. Jack's always been talking about you" she mentions and my eyes light up.
