Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 138: Pumpkin Harvesting
“What do you want to do now?” Logan asked Serena as they walked off the front porch. Serena bit her lower lip. “Pumpkin mead
truck?” she asked. Logan smirked. “Alright,” he said. He took her hand and led her back towards the festivities. The carnival
games had shut down, but Serena could still hear sounds of celebration from the pack. Beyond the hay maze and pumpkin
patch, there was a dance floor set up. String lights were hung around it up high and then there were jack-o-lanterns carved with
candles
flickering in them around the edge of the dance floor on the ground.
Live music played, and there were already several couples dancing. There was an old pickup truck parked near the dance floor.
It had a massive barrel built over the bed of the truck and there were taps coming out of the side. Many pack members were
standing around the truck with metal beer mugs, drinking and toasting. Beside the truck was a huge table full of all kinds of foods
and desserts. “This is amazing,” Serena said. “Here, try the mead,” Logan said. He went to the truck and got them each a mug.
“There are a couple different flavors, but the pumpkin is the best.” Serena sniffed the foaming drink and then took a sip. She
moaned appreciatively. “Wow, this is incredible,” she said, taking another big sip. “Be careful,” Logan warned. “It is pretty intense.
You’ll get drunk way too fast off this stuff. I don’t think either of us are ready for a repeat of our last drunken party.”
Serena creased her brow at Logan. She wasn’t sure what he meant by that. Was he saying he wasn’t ready to take their
relationship to a physical level or was he saying he didn’t want more kids?
Serena sipped her mead a little more slowly.
The next day marked the pumpkin harvesting event. It was another event geared towards kids, but Serena planned on getting
her own pumpkin too so she could carve it with the kids.
They arrived at the pumpkin patch where Logan was waiting for them. He had a pair of garden Clippers for when the kids found
the right pumpkins. “I’m going to pick the biggest,” Olivia said. “I’m going to pick the roundest,” Oliver insisted. They ran off into
the patch looking for their perfect pumpkins. “Serena, last night..” Logan trailed off. After his comment about getting drunk,

had finished her mead and made an excuse to leave. Logan had caught on to her change in mood, but she hadn’t let him
address it then. “I told you, it was nothing,” she assured. Logan grabbed her arm as she tried to walk off. “It was a joke, you
know, about the drunken party,” he told her. Serena smiled. “I know that,” she said. “But something about it still bothered you,” he
said. Serena sighed, glancing up at the kids who were patting pumpkins and lifting them to test their weights. They were
chattering with each other about why certain pumpkins were better than others. “I was just thinking about the progression of our
relationship,” she admitted. “I mean, I don’t think either of us are rushing to have more kids, but..” she trailed off. “Mommy, I
found the biggest pumpkin,” Olivia said waving Serena and Logan over. Logan snipped the pumpkin off the vine. He tried to hand
it to Olivia. “It is too heavy for me,” she said. Logan chuckled and tucked the pumpkin under his
arm.
“I found one too,” Oliver said. Logan went and cut that pumpkin too. He held it under his other arm. “Now we have to find a
pumpkin for mommy,” Olivia said. “We’ll find you the best one.” Oliver said. Serena laughed. “Okay, go find me a pumpkin,” she
said. “But what?” Logan asked, picking up their conversation again. Serena smiled shyly. “Does that mean everything is off the
table?” she asked. Logan raised an eyebrow at her. “Oh,” he said. He chuckled and smirked. “No, absolutely not.” Serena bit her
lower lip. “Okay,” she said, her cheeks flushing. “Mommy, we got you the best pumpkin over here,” Olivia said, getting their
attention again. Serena and Logan went to the twins again and Serena cut the final pumpkin. She held it in her arms and the four
of them left the pumpkin patch. “There’s a cart over there,” Logan said, nodding to where there were some pumpkin carts lined
up. Serena put her pumpkin in the cart and wheeled it back over to Logan so he could set the twins’ pumpkins down too.
Logan started pushing the cart. “What can we do now?” Olivia asked. “I can run these pumpkins back to the house if you want to
go play some more
games,” Logan offered. Serena nodded.
Chapter 138: Pumpkin Harvesting “You can’t leave!” Olivia argued. “Yeah, you’re supposed to be with us the whole time,” Oliver
pointed out. Logan chuckled.
“I’ll be right back,” he assured. “I want to get your pumpkins home so no one accidently takes them. These are very special
pumpkins picked out by you two.” “Good idea,” Olivia agreed, shooing Logan away. Serena took the kids back to the carnival
area. There were several more games they hadn’t played the day before, and there was a table covered in yummy pastries, like
apple tarts, pumpkin cupcakes, and cranberry Danishes. The twins were happy to indulge in some sugary sweets between their
games. True to his word, Logan returned quickly, bringing the pumpkin cart back for another family to use. “How’s it going?” he
asked. Serena was sitting on a bench watching the kids bob for apples. “They’re bobbing for apples,” she said, nodding to them.
A usually messy game, the wolf that had organized the bobbing for apples had enough foresight to provide plastic ponchos and

shower caps to keep the kids and their clothes as dry as possible. Logan sat on the bench beside Serena and slipped his arm
around her shoulders. Serena leaned her head on him and they watched the kids together. “I’m so glad you got the whole
weekend to spend with them,” she said. “I know there are a lot of demands for your time, especially during a pack event like
this.” “Not this time,” Logan assured. “Carson was kind enough to offer to handle it when I told him I wanted to spend the
weekend with my family.” He leaned over and nibbled Serena’s ear lightly
Serena felt the ticklish tingles all the way down to her toes. She giggled and squirmed pleasantly against Logan. “I thought...”
Serena trailed off until Logan wasn’t teasing her anymore. “Thought what?” he asked.
“Well, you never seemed like you were willing to let Carson take on more responsibility when you were with Holly,” she pointed
out. “Well, sometimes with Holly, work was a good excuse not to deal with her drama,” Logan admitted with a chuckle. Serena
giggled, shaking her head. “That should have been a red flag,” she teased.
“Probably,“ Logan admitted. “But I think these things happen for a reason. If I hadn’t put up with Holly for so long, we might have
missed our timing, again. It was, after all, her fake pregnancy that really allowed us to come together.”

“True,”Serena agreed. “Then again, aren’t we fated mates? Maybe we would have come together regardless.” “Maybe,” Logan
said. Serena giggled. “Look, mommy, look,” Olivia said running over. She held an apple out with big teeth marks in it. “You got
one!” Serena said excitedly. She sat up and leaned forward a little. “Oliver too,” she said pointing behind her. Oliver walked over
slower, but he held up his apple with the bitemarks in it too. “It was really hard,” Oliver said. “I’m proud of you two for sticking with
it,” Logan said, ruffling each of their hair. “Can we play another game now?” Olivia asked. “Why don’t you sit here with us for a
minute and eat your apples,” Serena said. “I want a cupcake,” Olivia whined.
“Eat your apples first, then we’ll play more games, then you can have sweets before we go home,” Serena said. “Okay,” the
twins said together. They climbed up into the bench, Olivia sitting beside Serena and Oliver beside Logan. “Are you two enjoying
the pack event?” Logan asked. “It is so much fun,” Olivia said. “Can we do this every weekend?” Oliver asked. Logan chuckled.
Serena sighed happily
“I wish we could” Serena said. “This is a special event, though. I think we’d get very tired if this happened every weekend.”
“Maybe you would,” Olivia said sassily. Serena chuckled.
The twins finished their apples and ran off to play another game. Serena sighed and leaned back against Logan again. “They are
so happy,” she said. “Are you happy?“ Logan asked her. Serena creased her brow. She hadn’t been expecting him to ask her

that. Seeing the twins happy always made her happy, but Logan was asking beyond that. He was asking about her specifically. “I
am,” she said with a nod. “Things finally feel like they are going smoothly, for the first time since I joined Night Sky.” “That’s
probably because you don’t have any more secrets,” Logan teased. Serena rolled her eyes, but Logan could be on to something.
The weight of those secrets had bothered her.
