Chapter 92: Logan and the Kids

Logan found Olivia and Oliver in the backyard. They were pretending to be wolves again, howling atthe sky and running around on all fours. He smiled, choosing to watch them for a moment rather thanjoining them. It didn’t take long for them to notice him, though. “Uncle Logan!” Olivia called. Loganwinced involuntarily. He was their father, and they should know that! Sighing, Logan pushed the gateopen and went inside. “I told you I’d come back to play,” he said. Olivia jumped at him and grabbedonto his arm, clinging to him. Logan laughed. Oliver ran over and grabbed onto his leg, sitting on hisfoot. “Oh no!” Logan cried. “You got me!” He made a groaned sound and dropped down on his knees,rolling over and writhing on the ground. The kids jumped back, laughing. Logan groaned again andthen closed his eyes. He held his breath and stopped moving. “Logan?” Oliver asked, nudging him withhis foot. Logan didn’t move. “Logan, you’re okay, right?” Olivia asked. She knelt down and pushed athim. “You’re not hurt, are you?” Oliver asked, dropping down on the ground on his other side. Openinghis eyes, Logan growled loudly and sat up quickly. The kids screamed and ran off as he tried to grabthem. Olivia was quick, and she escaped his grasp. Oliver wasn’t as fast, and Logan’ caught him,pulling him into his lap and tickling him. Oliver squealed, wiggling around and laughing uncontrollably.Olivia ran up behind Logan and jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“Don’t hurt him,” she wailed. Logan laughed, releasing Oliver. The kids ran away from him, laughingand beckoning him to follow them. Logan ran after them, chasing them through the yard until he felt tootired to keep running after them.

He slumped down on the grass, leaning back against one of the trees. Olivia and Oliver flopped downon their backs on the ground beside him, panting to catch their breath.

Logan looked at them, really looked at them and studied them. He’d never let himself see how muchthey did resemble him as a kid. Oliver was a dead ringer, and Olivia wasn’t too far off, despite being agirl. He didn’t review his own childhood photos that often, but now that he knew what to

look for, it was hard to miss! “Are you sad, Uncle Logan?” Olivia asked, sitting up. Logan shook hishead. “I’m not sad,” he said. “I just wanted to know what you two think of me.” Olivia giggled and rolledaround in the grass. “You’re so goofy!” she said. “Yea, and fun to play with,” Oliver said. “You make uslaugh,” Olivia added. “And you like our drawings,” Oliver said. Logan’s heart swelled in his chest. Heliked hearing what they thought of him. It made him sad and happy all at the same time. Sad that hecouldn’t claim them as his kids! At least, not yet. “We love you very much,” Olivia said. “Yea, even whenyou are being goofy;” Oliver said. Logan smiled, unprepared for how the tears that welled in his eyes.Sniffling, he tried to wipe the tears away before the twins saw them. “Did we hurt your feelings?” Oliviaasked, throwing herself across Logan’s chest and hugging him. “No, not at all,” he said. “You said somereally nice things.” He held his arm out and Oliver hugged him too. “We didn’t want you to cry,” Oliversaid. Logan side, kissing the top of both the twins’ heads. “They aren’t sad tears,” he assured. “Theyare happy tears.” “Crying can be happy?” Olivia asked, looking up at him. Logan smiled and nodded. “Itcan,” he said. “Sometimes happiness and sadness can mix together. It can make you cry while you stillfeel happy.” It was the first moment Logan experienced where he felt like he had something to offer hischildren, a real teaching moment. And they were his children! Nothing would ever really change that.Even if he never got to claim them as his kids. If Serena met someone else and gave them anotherfather figure, Logan would always be their father and they would always be his kids. “I love you guystoo,” he added, kissing them both again. The energy in the twins bubbled over again and the two ofthem got up and started playing again. Logan watched them for a while, happy to see them play, argue,make up, and then play again. They really were great kids! He couldn’t take any credit for that. Heunderstood that who they were was entirely based on Serena being their mother. He wished he could

take credit for it. He wanted to be an influence in their lives. He wanted to give them some of hiswisdom and show them his world as an Alpha.

Eventually, Logan got up and started playing with the kids again. They wanted to play tag and Loganwas ‘it’ first. He ran after them, and they scattered quickly. He danced around them, jumping at themand pretending to catch up to them, but never actually tagging them. Logan allowed them to evade himevery time. The giggles and laughs filled the yard and Logan felt his own spirits lift. He was going toenjoy these moments with them, even if he didn’t have them often.

When he felt like he was being watched, Logan looked up and sat Serena standing at the kitchenwindow, watching. He gave her a quick smile and she nodded. “Come on, Logan come on,” Olivia saidgrabbing his hand and dragging him with her. Olivia and Oliver brought him down to the dock. “Wait,you two need lifejackets on if we are going onto the dock;” Logan said. Olivia pouted at him. “Do wehave to?” she asked. Logan raised an eyebrow at them. He wanted to indulge them, but he also had totake on the role of father now. Serena was trusting him to when she wasn’t around.

“Yes, you do have to,” Logan said grabbing tow children-sized lifejackets. He helped them each put thesafety vests on. “They are so uncomfortable,” Olivia complained. “I know,” Logan said. “But they willsave your life in the water.” “Okay,” the twins grumbled. Logan went out onto the dock with them. Thesun was starting to set and the water on the lake was still.

“Sometimes when the sun is going down we can see fish swimming,” Olivia said, pointing down into thewater. Logan held both their hands, standing between them. He looked down and saw straight throughto the sandy bottom. There were some small fish swimming around, only visible because of the glassysurface and the low lighting. There was no glare on the water. “Very cool” Logan said. “Will you gofishing with us?” Oliver asked. “We can do that, sometime,” Logan said. He wasn’t sure how much hewanted to commit to them, because he knew when they returned to Night Sky, things would bedifferent.

“Mommy says we are going home soon, will you go with us?” Olivia asked. Logan nodded.

He sat down on the end of the dock, letting his feet dip into the water. Olivia and Oliver took their shoesoff and sat beside him. Their feet didn’t touch the water

though. Logan grabbed Olivia under the arms and dipped her down off the end or ine dock until her feettouched the water. She kicked out, laughing and wiggling. “Me next!” Oliver said standing up. Loganchuckled. He set Olivia down and repeated the action with Oliver. He laughed and splashed in thewater until Logan sat him down again on the dock. “That’s so cold!” Olivia whined. The twins leanedagainst him, one on each arm. Olivia started humming to herself. Oliver was pointing to the clouds inthe sky as they changed shape. It seemed like the perfect ending to a not so perfect day. Logan wassitting with his kids on a dock on a peaceful lakeside with the sun setting. He wanted so badly to tellthem he was their father, but he couldn’t! He wouldn’t betray Serena again, and he understood it coulddo more damage.

It felt like his bond with Olivia and Oliver was so strong, he didn’t know if he had room in his heart foranother child. Holly’s child would always be in competition with the twins. They were his first kids, andthat was something he’d never overlook. “I think it is time to go replace your mom,” Logan said with a sigh.He walked the kids back to the grass, taking their lifejackets off. He hoped Serena had had enoughtime to talk to her parents and come to terms with everything. It was getting dark and cold. The twinswould need to go inside. He knocked on the living room door from the deck. Santino opened it up andthe kids ran in. “Can we talk?” Santino asked. Logan nodded and Serena’s brother joined him outside.
