Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 141: Spending the Night
“What would you think of me spending
nights at the house with you and the twins?” Logan asked Serena over dinner one night. They‘d tried to make a weekly habit of g
oing out to dinner together on an ‘adult date. “Like, moving in together?” Serena asked, pausing with her fork halfway to
her mouth. Logan shrugged. “Maybe not permanently,” he said. “I could spend nights now and then, though, if you‘re open to it.”
“I guess that makes sense,” Serena said with a nod. “I‘m not sure how I feel about us sharing a bedroom, though. I mean, we still
need to set an appropriate example for the twins. And that part of our relationship is still so new.”
S
Logan chuckled and nodded.
“I wasn‘t going in that direction,” he admitted. “There‘s a room on your first floor, right, a play room? We did once talk about conv
erting it into another bedroom.” Serena smiled at Logan. She
had forgotten about that conversation but she was glad he remembered it. She really liked how Logan was never pushy. He didn‘
t expect them to be the perfect, conventional couple until it felt right for her and the twins. She appreciated him respecting her bo
undaries. “I think that is a great idea,” she said. “I know the twins will love having you around more. It would mean you could stay
over whenever; we wouldn‘t have to make some big plan about it.” “That was my thinking,” Logan said. “I can keep some
of my clothes and things there. If you have a
late night at the hospital, I can be there with them so they still have time with at least one parent. I know Dana helps out a
lot, but I‘d like to be a second pair of hands when I can.” “Dana is great,” Serena agreed. “You‘re right, though. The twins should
have at least one parent tucking them in and eating with them at night or
in the morning. Both of . our schedules are a little up and down.” “Okay, so it is a plan,” Logan said. Serena nodded. “After dinner
, why don‘t we go and take a look at the room,” Serena offered. “We can talk about how you want to set
it up and everything. I‘ll have to figure out what to do with the toys. I‘m sure the twins would rather have you in that room than toy
s.” She giggled.
Logan smiled at her. She felt her cheeks warm. After they‘d spent the night together,
she felt self-
conscious every time he looked at her or smiled at her in a certain way. It was like she knew exactly what he was thinking, and h
e wasn‘t the only one thinking it!

Serena knew that having Logan around would make it more difficult for her to be an
appropriate adult role model for the kids, but his room would be on a different floor than theirs. She shook her head, forcing thos
e thoughts out quickly. They finished dinner and headed back to the house. Dana had already put the twins to bed and was down
in her apartment. Serena and Logan went past the kitchen and down the hall to
the playroom. She flipped the light on. Logan walked into
the center of the room and looked around. “It is a good size,” he said. “I can make some calls tomorrow and have the basic furnit
ure brought in, bed, dresser, lamps, bedside table.” “I‘d like to talk to the twins about it,” Serena said. “Just to
make sure it is okay with them. I can‘t imagine why it wouldn‘t be, but still...” “Yeah, absolutely,” Logan said.
Serena and Logan said their goodbyes and Serena went to bed. She was woken up by the twins jumping on
her bed, bouncing up and down. Serena groaned, throwing her arm over her eyes. “What are you two doing?” she asked. “Mom
my, it is time to get up,” Olivia insisted. Serena smiled, pulling her arm from her face. “Come sit with me,” Serena said. She pulle
d herself up and leaned back against the pillows. Olivia and Oliver sat on
each side of her and she wrapped her arms around them. She kissed them each on the head.
“What do you want to talk about?” Oliver asked.
“Your dad and I had a chat last night, and we were thinking it was time to make a change around here, but we wanted to make s
ure it was okay with you first,” Serena said.
“What is it?” Olivia asked a little nervously. Serena kissed them each again.
“Logan and I were talking about turning your playroom into a bedroom for him,” Serena said.
“Where would our toys go?” Olivia asked. Serena chuckled. “They can be in your bedrooms or in the living room,” she said, “We
won‘t have to get rid of them.” “Why would he need a bedroom downstairs? Why can‘t he stay in your room?” Olivia asked. Sere
na giggled and sighed. “This is just the way we want it for now,” Serena explained. “Logan
can stay nights whenever he wants. He can be here to tuck you and have breakfast with you. He can be here if I have to work lat
e at the hospital. What do you think?” “Well, as long as we don‘t have to throw our toys out, I’m okay with it,” Olivia said. “I want h
im here,” Oliver said more directly. Serena kissed them each again.
Chapter 141 Spending the Night “Good, now go get dressed and get breakfast from Dana. I will be downstairs shortly.” she said.
The twins scooted off her bed and ran out of her room. Serena sighed and reached for her phone. She
called Logan, hoping it wasn‘t too early.

“God morning, good morning,” he said when he answered. Serena laughed and rolled her eyes.
“I spoke to the twins, and they are happy to let you have their playroom as a bedroom,” Serena told him.
“After breakfast, I‘ll clear the toys out before work. Then you can take your time getting everything set up.” “Sounds like a plan,” L
ogan said. “Alright, I‘ll see you later,” Serena said.
“See you later,” Logan told her. She hung up and flopped down on her bed again. Her stomach twisted with giddy delight.
The idea of having Logan staying in her house for overnights was thrilling. They‘d be staying in separate rooms, but she liked the
idea of having him closer. He’d be there for family moments, and she knew the kids would love having the extra time with him.
Serena finally got out of bed and joined the kids for breakfast. The table had four chairs, but they rarely had anyone sitting in the
fourth. It seemed like that would be changing soon. She knew Logan wouldn‘t be living there full time, yet, but it was a good start.
After Dana took the kids to daycare, Serena pulled their toys from the playroom. They had a lot! She divided them up as best she
could between their rooms and left a few in the living room. She‘d let Olivia and Oliver sort out how
they wanted them divided later.
There was a play mat in the room too, a rug that
had roads and a small village on it. Oliver liked to drive his trucks along the roads and run his wooden wolves through the forests
. She moved that into his bedroom, knowing he‘d get more use out of it.
With the room empty, Serena made her way to
the hospital for work. The moment she arrived, Adriana handed her a slip of paper. “What‘s this?” she asked.
“A message
came through for you from the human world,” Adriana said, “That‘s unusual,” Serena said, “I don‘t think any of my human world co

connection to him because they were both wolves. “I‘ll have to return his call,” she said. She hadn‘t expected to hear from him aga
“Serena, you‘re blushing,” Adriana said.

“I am not,” Serena argued, folding up the paper and tucking it into her pocket. Adriana raised an eyebrow at her.
“Are you sure? How well do you know this guy?” she teased. Serena rolled her eyes.
“He was one of my professors in college,” Serena said. “That is the extent of our relationship. I guess he just wanted to fallow up a
seems like something more to me,” Adriana said. Serena shook her head.
“Okay, I‘d appreciate it if you wouldn‘t spread those rumors around” she told her friend
and boss. “Things with Logan are going really well, and I don‘t need him getting the wrong idea, especially when it
is the wrong idea!” “Okay, okay,” Adriana said dismissively. Serena grabbed her medical files and got to work.
