Tuas joking with her but she dit need to know that Lacey seems extremely agitate and stressed out and has been eve since we came home to find her grandparents were here and her mood is probably not being helped by me and how happy and excited 1am, “Come here, babe” sat down on the bed and pulled Lacey onto my ap.

Twant Lacey to normalise talking about her issues and problems and Twant her to know that it's ok to express her feelings with me.
“Everything._1m nervous about everything, Logan, Im nervous about going home and seeing my family again, Im nervous about seeing Luca and Dylan again” She says and my hand instantly grips her thigh a the mention of that prick’ name.
Even though Dylan i gay and Lacey belongs to me, stil can't help but fee jesus and angry whenever she mentions his name.
“Im nervous about ow everyone s going to react when they find aut weve got three ki together and how they re going fo treat nat only them but us, not to mention Tm a nervous blucdy wreck about how our babies are gonna react f anyone nasty and horrible with any of us_our kids are exactly nice or pleasant ith anyone who messes with us, Logan” “Don't worry yourself zo much, love, our families will adore them. promise you 15ay as kiss hr forehead “How do you know?” Lacey asks as she looks up at me with worried eyes and a worried expression on her face.
tiled me to see her like this because she shouldrit have to fee this way, my woman should be worrying about such tra thing.
“1just do, love. know our families wil love and acre our triplets but even if they da react negatively which know they won't but f they do, then ts thei loss, not ours” “But the triplets are 50 excited about finally having more family around them, Logan. dort want them to feel et down or hurt and 1 certainly dort want ther precious te hearts to be broken either” “That worst happen, babe, trust me” “How do you know?” Lacey asks me again, tis time sounding annoyed 1 chuckle sightly as 11f¢ my hand up fom her thigh and gently cup her face
“Because we'e their parents, sweetheart and well make sur t won't happen..afte all, its our job 1 protect our babies from harm, right?” 1 quess” Lacey lets out sigh as she runs a hand though her haic “Whats on your mind, love?” Task Lacey when saw she had he thinking face on.
Iwas fearing that she was changing her mind about returning to New York and 1 hoped to god Iwas wrong but her next words proved my suspicions right “Maybe 1 made » hasty decision about going back home” “Wht did you just say?” “You heard me, Logan. 1 don't think Im ready to go back home and face everyone just yet “Ye. you are babe, you're just nervous thas al 12g whist holding hr cose to me.
“1 dort think this is just nerves, Logan” “Then whats io” Lak and she shrugs her shoulders “dort know” “Look Lacey babe, youve got nothing o be worried or nervous about, do you hear me. promised you that Id be thre by your side every step of the way and its promise that 1 plan on keeping unti he day 1 die 1 gently place a kiss on hr forehead and juicy lps befor standing up with Lacey in my arms and placing hr on the bed.
“Finch packing your stuff love whi 1 go and check on the kick" oi She says while leting out a sigh “0h and dori forget that sey lle number, babe, 1 meant t when 1 53d want you to model it for me" “Ugh, get out” Lacey chuckles she throws something at me but 1 quickly dodged it and ran out of the oom laughing.
headed towards Teddy's room first to see how she was doing and if she was getting anywhere with hr packing but her oom vias empty 201 headed towards the boy's bedroom but before cod enter 1 heard Logan Junior's annoyed voice “Just remember guys f mum finds out about tis then had nothing to do with t “Why? are you scared of our mum, Loz" Dayton teases his brother “Of course no. Dayton, just don't want my mum to thik tricked her when dic. this was all yo two and uncle Ryker’ idea” What the hell What was my brothers ides.
“0h come on Lo youre acting ike we lied when we cid, we jus stretched the truth a lle thas al “Daytons right, Logan uncle Ryker really moving back to America, 50 techically we havent done anything wrong" “No, you just pretended to be upset an! angry 50 that mum woul agree to go back to New York ith Logan, Ryker and his family” These brats.
1 cant believe they tricked their mom like this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy and ecstatic that Lacey has decided to come back home with our kids but I wanted her to want to come back on her own and not just agree because the dynamic trio tricked her Tm gonna have to have a serious chat with these three at some point, they need to know that they can' play with people's feelings like this, especially not their moms.
“Well it worked didn't it and now we get to ga and see more of our family in New York but most importantly. we get to be with our dad" “Dayton's right, Logan, I know youre not happy about our dad being here vith us but we are and we want him to be with our mum and be our dad as well, we want him to be a part of our family" “Who said I'm not happy hes here?" Logan Junior asks confused.
“Your face says it every time he shows up here or his name is mentioned, you always look like you're annoyed and like you can't wait for him to leave” “Yeah and?” ‘Logan Junior asks and my heart pained that my son would feel this way about me.
“And you always call him by his name, you never call him dad or daddy like Teddy and 1 do, 1 mean what the hell is that all about, Lo?" “Ialready told you, Dayton, he has to eam that title, he can't just walk into our fives and expect us to accept him straight off the bat and call him dad” “Why not? he's our dad, Logan” Teddy says with pain in her voice which hurt my heart but the hurt was escalated when I heard not only her brother's angry and cold voice but also what he said.
“Its because I don't trust him, Teddy" “But he's our dad. Lo” “50 what Dayton? he hast been in ou ves for fv years an now he shows up here out of nowhere and all of a sudden wants tbe our dac_how do we know he wor just up and leave us again, hmm? how do we know he worit hurt us? and what about our mum? what f he hurts her” Thatil never happen, son. 1 promise you “Mum deserves to be happy, she doesn deserve to be used or mistreated “And our daddy ill make her happy, Lo, we jus need to trust him” “I dort know 1 ca, Teddy” Ouch, that hurts.
“Well, 1 do rus him, Logan and 1 definitely trust him with our mum_ haven't you seen how he looks at hr? he looks at ou mu like she's queen and obviously Tm his princess” Teddy says andl chuckle sight.
“Yeah, you both are princess” Luhispered to mysell.
Even though t hurts me to say thi, the reason why Logan Junior has got his walk up zo high with me is because he does trust me and hes scared Hl leave and hurt him, his siblings and his mom 1 need to change how he feels about me if plan on building a future with my lee amily ani the only way I know howto do tis sto prove to him that he can trust me and that Im not going anywhere.
“Wht are you doing? ar you eavesdropping on our kids? bad daddy” Lacey says while fake gasping before chucking
She was looking at me with an amused expression which quickly changed to a look of concern and confusion.
“What's wrong? are you ok?” “Im fine, babe" say with a smile as gently cup her face andl caress hr sof cheek with my thurs “Te gotta head back to my hotel and get myself all sorte out for tomorrow il come back here and have liner with you guys ater on if thats oe say and she nods her head “Thats fine. are you sure you're ok?” “Tm fine, love, 1 promise” say with a smile a ean in and place a lingering kiss on Lacey's ips before bicling her goodbye and leaving the house need to find a way to reassure my baby and my children, especially my oder kid that Im hereto stay and I'm not going anywhere don't know how I'm going to do that but Im willing to do anything and everything to make my future wife and my kids trust me wholeheartedly An idea suddenly struck me a: got nto my car and a smile crept onto my face getting bigger and brighter the mre I thought about it.
realy hope Ian make thi happen because if can then this would rally be the best Christmas present ever for me.
quickly fahect my phone out of my pocket and dalled a numbet t only rang out a couple of times before the call was answered “Hey, can you meet me in my hotel oom, please? I need to discuss something important with you"
