Coming Home For Christmas

Logan Senior's POV.

She loves me.

Lacey, my Lacey has just confessed that she loves me and more importantly, she said she loves me more than she.

ever loved that prick Dylan Tate.

Ireally wanted to jump up and dance, that's how happy and excited I was and a small part of me even wanted to be a petty little fucker and send a middle finger emai to Dylan which I would've done if knew that he truly cared and it ‘would hurt him Tknow I should be more mature about this but I cant because the woman who I've been madly in love with ever since forever has just confessed she's in love with me as wel, this is a dream come true for me.

“Can you stop smiling at me like that, please?” “Like what?" “Like a creep” Lacey says and I burst out laughing.

“So, you think I'm a creep because I'm smiling at my love?”

“Well, it wouldn't be creepy if we were dating but we're not, so stop it” “Or we can change our relationship status and I can continue smiling at you like this” Tsay with a smirk and she rolls her eyes.

“Youre making me wish T had just kept my mouth shut, Logan” Fuck.

‘The way she says my name makes my d**k twitch.

“Babe, do you know how long T've been waiting to hear you say those three little words which means so much to me? Task Lacey and she shakes her head whilst chewing on her food.

“Neither do" 1say and we both chuckle.

“But Ido know it's been a very long time and I always hoped and prayed that you'd one day reciprocate my feelings for me but as we got older, that hope faded, especially when you started dating that prick Dylan" “Why do you keep calling Dylan a prick, Logan? what did he ever do to you?" She asks while rolling her eyes.

“I call him a prick because he is one and he wasted our time, that's what he did to me”

Tsay and Lacey narrows her eyes at me.

Fuck, she's so cute when she's confused.

“What do you mean?” “Well, if he had come out earlier instead of pretending that he was straight then maybe we could've got together years ago, maybe we'd be married now with more kids if he had”

“Coming out isn't as easy as you think itis, Logan. besides, even if he did come out earlier highly doubt that we ‘would've got together back then” Lacey says whilst tucking some of her hair behind her ear “Why do you say that?” “Because I had no feelings for you back then” Ouch, that hurt.

“Sorry, 1 don't mean to sound like a heartless b***h, it just that back then I did love Dylan and I only ever thought of you as Justin's best friend” “And now?" “Now what? I already told you how I feel” “Yes but you never told me when you knew you loved me" “That's because I dont know” She says before taking a sip of her drink.

“just remember seeing you and some girl on a gossip news channel one time and I didn't like it" “You were jealous?" Task with a smirk

“Twouldnit look 50 smug if I were you considering you cant even talk about my ex without calling him a derogative name. jealous much?” Lacey asks with a cheeky and playful smile on her face and I couldn't help but smile back at her Its the first time I've seen her look like the old Lacey since we've been reunited with each other and it's a lovely sight to see.

Lacey was always this kind of girl but now she seems more serious and a lot more guarded, kind of like she's protecting herself with this huge wall which she doesnt need, especially not with me around to protect her “Of course I'm jealous, Lace, I'm jealous of any guy getting close to you" “Even Logan Junior and Dayton?" She asks and I smile.

“Even those two little rascals” Tsay and she chuckles.

God, this girl is heaven on a silver freaking platter We may not be together yet but I'm still gonna consider myself the luckiest asshole alive with a woman like this by my side.

“Speaking of our sons. why did you name our son after me, Lacey?" Task feeling curious.

“Dorit get me wrong, babe, I'm flattered, honoured and very proud that you did but I'm just curious why you did it?" “Well, 1 had no intention of giving him your name at first, it was only after I had given birth to him that I decided to name him after you, he's also named after your dad as well, his full name is Logan David Junior” “Really?” Task pretending to be shocked and like I already didn't know.

Tm finally making some progress with her and I don't wanna jeopardise that and potentially lose not only her but my manhood by telling her I had my men look into her and find out everything they could on her mean, she probably already suspects that I did that but still, T'm not gonna confess it to her, I'm not that f****g stupid.

“My dad will be happy about that._what about the other two?" “Dayton and Teddy are names I already liked and they've both got my parent's first names for their middle names” Hmm ‘That explains why Lacey called our son Dayton James earlier when she was angry with him because he's named after his grandfather “I guess we should make another litle girl then so that my mom doesnt feel left out” Tsaid as a joke and I chuckled but my amusement quickly died down when I saw Lacey's sad face.

“What's wrong, babe?" “Nothing”

“No, talk to me, please, what's going on? why are you so sad all of a sudden?" Lacey looked like she didnt wanna talk about it and for a second I thought she was gonna close herself off and not tell me why her mood had suddenly changed but she didn't and my heart hurt for her when she told me about what she had to go through all on her own without me and our families around.

“My pregnancy with the triplets was a high-risk pregnancy or even more high risk than a normal, regular pregnancy including multiples is” She stops to take a breath and slowly releases it.

“During my first trimester, I was diagnosed with a condition called an incompetent cervix and I was put on bed rest, my doctor wanted to prevent me from losing the babies or going into labour early, so he made sure I rested as much as possible and 1 watched my diet as well” Oh my god “You had a troubled pregnancy?” Task and she shakes her head slightly.

“Not so much troubled but stressful, very much so” “What was the birth like?" “Better than I expected” She said while sighing “My doctor said the safest time for me to give birth would be thirty-five weeks and I went at thirty-six, Thad a c- section and I've even got a sexy scar to prove it”

She says with a smile and a lttle chuckle and knew she was just doing this to lighten the mood.

1 grabbed hold of her hand and gently caressed the back of it with my thumb hoping to give her some comfort which Tm guessing I was successful at from the look on her face. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"So, can you not have any more kids?..1 mean, dori get me wrong, love, I'm happy with the three we've got but Id love to have more kids with you if it's possible” “Ican, its just they'll most likely be high risk if I do, especially if have multiples again” She says and I smile.

“Well, at least you can feel at ease that if we do have more kids then you won't be alone because you'll have me and our kids by your side” Isaid as placed several kisses on the back of her hand.

“Youre so sure we're going to be together, arent you?" “Oh yes. I'm determined to fight until my dying breath to make you mine, Lacey" And this is the truth.

T'm determined to do anything and everything to win her heart and after her confession today, 1 know that I'm already halfway there.

Tve already got her love, Tjust need her trust and faith now and I plan on eaming both of them Lacey's POV.

Logan and I spent our entire meal talking about what we've both been up to the past six years and of course about our three wonderful bundles of joy as well.

Ifilled him in on everything there is to know about our babies and I could tell he was impressed with everything I ‘was telling him about them which isn't surprising because my babies are very impressive kids.

Taso gave Logan some tips to win over our kid's hearts even though he's pretty much won over Dayton and Teddy.

After dinner, Logan took me home and I can honestly say 1 felt even lighter and happier than did before this impromptu dinner and that's because I talked about my problems instead of running away from them and burying my head in the sand like I usually do.

During our ride home, Logan and I discussed Logan Junior and his resistance towards his dad.

Thonestly don't know why he's acting this way with his father because he's got no real reason to do so, well, except for the fact that Logan hasn't been there but that's not his fault it's mine.

Tm gonna have to sit down with my eldest boy and find out what's going on in his head because this isn't normal.

“I've texted my brother and he said hell drop the kids off later on’ Logan says as we get out of his car and head inside of my house.

“He doesn't have to, T can pick them up myself later on._oh my god” 1 gasped when I walked into my living room and I saw who was sitting there on my couch Holy hell, this ist happening right now.

“Hello there, lamb chop”

“Gr.gramps, grams” My grandparents are here. what the actual f**k?
