Chapter 64: The Nursery

When Logan got home, the front hallway was filled with half open boxes of baby things. There was an unassembled crib, a changing table, tons of toys, a swing, and a pop–up playpen. Everything in the hallway was a new addition. None of it had been there when the twins had come over. Holly must have brought it all home with her!

From upstairs, Logan heard Holly and herfriends moving furniture around, scraping it across the nice hard wood floors of his house! Every time he heard a scrape, he winced.

Flying up the stairs, Logan found Holly and her friends in the bedroom Logan had

allowed the twins to stay in. Most of the furniturein the room had already been shoved out into the hallway. One of Holly‘s friends had paint chips and was pressing colors to the wall,asking Holly what she thought would look good. “What‘s going on?” Logan asked from the doorway.All of Holly‘s friends stopped smiling and giggling. “There you are, baby.” Holly said, sashaying across the room. She threw her arms around his neck and tried to kiss him. Logan pulled away. “What are you doing?” he said, nodding towards the half empty room and the furniture in the hall.

Holly released him, putting her hands on herbelly. “Well, it is still early, but this pregnancy won‘t last forever. I wanted to get a head start on the nursery,” she said, beaming at Logan.

Logan glared at her friends. “Can we have a minute?” he asked them. They looked toHolly for permission. “Go on,” she said.“I want you guys to pick out the color scheme and replace a good mural to paint on the wall.” “Will do,” they gushed, heading out and going down to the living room. Logan looked at the furniture that was in the h

allway. The beds the twins had used so recently. Something in him really hated seeing the furniture he associated with them being cast aside. “Where are you going to put all this stuff?” heasked, motioning to thosebeds. It didn‘t escape him that Holly had chosen the twins‘ room to become the nursery.

The room Serena had stayed in was closer to theirs, but Holly had clearly wanted to make a statement about kids with Logan. “There‘s plenty of room in the attic, you can drag them up there later,” Hollysaid dismissively “Holly, it is months until the baby arrives,” Logan argued, “Why do we need to do alla

this now?” “I‘m just trying to be prepared,” Holly said, pouting. Logan kept thinking back to Serena telling him that she thought Holly was hiding something. He didn‘t think that was possible, not with how proactive Holly was being about getting things ready forthe baby. “Is everything alright with the baby?” he asked. Holly smiled and laughed. “Why wouldn‘t it be?” she asked with a shrug, going back to folding baby clothes into a new dresser she‘d bought for thebaby.

“The hospital called me today,” Logan said. Holly stopped folding and glared atthe wall in front of her. “That meddling little tramp!” she snapped. “She just couldn‘t mind her own business!”

“Holly, if it is about the baby, it is our business. I have every right to know,” Logan pointed out. Holly sneered.

“This is my body!” She said, turning to Logan with tears in her eyes. “I know whatis going on in my body. I don‘t need you or anyone else telling me what to do about my own body!” Logan sighed. He‘d known she was going to take things so personally. “I believe you do,” he said calmly. Frustration wouldn‘t help in this situation, and it was already turning into a fight. He hadn‘t even started the conversation yet! “I want you and the baby to be healthy, though.” Saying the words, he knew they were true. Even though he wasn‘t ready to be a parent, he still wanted Holly and the baby

to be okay. Holly shook her head. “Everything is fine,” she assured. “Trust me.” He nodded. “Okay, but, Holly, you‘re tearing the whole house apart,” he said. “Can‘t you wait until we can get someone to help?” “I thought you were going to help,” she said, smiling at him suggestively. Logan shook his head.

“I have way too much todo for the pack these days,” he said. “Setting up a nursery isn‘t a priority of mine right now.” That was the wrong thing to say! Holly put her hands on her hips and glared at Logan. “This is our baby!” shesnapped. “You have to make us a priority! The pack can wait!” Logan‘s anger and frustration flared again! Holly never understood his position as Alpha! “I‘m Alpha!” he shoutedback. “My greatest obligation and responsibility is to this

Dack!”

Chapter 64 The Nursery “No, your greatest obligation is to your family, to me and ourbaby!” Holly put her hands on her stomach again. “How can you stand there and saythere are more important things?”

“That is the burden of being Alpha,” Logan reminded her. “No matter what I want for myself, what else I have in my life, the pack comes first!” Holly rolled her eyes. “Why am I even having a baby with you?” she asked. “Why are you?” Logan countered. Holly‘s jaw dropped open. “I can‘t believe youjust asked that!” she hissed, throwing a pair of balled up baby socks at him. “Dol have to dignify that with a response?” “Maybe,” Logan said with a shrug. “You told me you were onbirth control, we‘ve never talked about kids or starting a family. You‘ve never seemed interest in it…” he trailed

off.

Holly‘s eyes blazed. She wasfurious, sputtering for words for a moment. “I love you, Logan,” she spat. “When I found out I was pregna

Logan sighed, shaking his head. “It has been a bad day,” hesaid. “Get this room put back together and put the nursery stuff into storage.” “No!” Holly snapped. “Logapart of it.” “What does that mean?” Holly asked asLogan turned away. “Logan!” she cried to him. He was already walking down the stairs, not willing to argwolf. The freeness of fur in the night air was a huge relief after his stressful, tense day. With a howl, Logout into the open fields, and into the smaller brush of the crop fields. The scents of the night were intoxic

That was the last thing Logan wanted to do on a night like this! The faster andfarther he ran, the further away his troubles became, that was what was important to him. Picking up hison the ground, Logan rolled in the grass, the blades scratching his back and fur. His tongue hung outof his mouth as he panted and yipped with pleasure, like a lovesickpuppy! A scent in the air caught Logan‘s attention. He stopped rolling around, falling onto his side. He stany potential threats to his presence. Something didn‘t smell right! Logan growled in the back of his throsniffed the air, his joy vanishing rapidly. He heard something out of place. Angling his ear backwards, hebelong either. Something was happening!
