Josh P.O.V
I woke up really early to clean and prepare for my nephew's arrival. 5 a.m. to be exact. It was already 6:30 when I finished everything. I took a very long shower and got ready for work. As I walk out of my apartment my phone rang. It was Logan!
"Good morning to the future wife of mine!" He greeted
"Good morning!" I greeted back
"Where are you right now?" He asked
"I'm going to work"
"Why? Aren't you on leave?" He asked
"Well... I just need to do some rounds" I said
"What time will that be over?"
"Noon"
"Ok... I'll pick you up later! Oh and don't forget Jericho's gonna be there at 3 o'clock"
"Yeah... I remember"
"You need to pi..." he said
"Yup... I'm gonna do that later" I said cutting him off
"ok... I'll just pick you up after work" He said
"Don't you have work today?" I asked
"Nope... Stephen wants all of us out of the studio coz someones gonna use it" he said
"Ohh... ok... I'm already here at the hospital... I'll just see you later" I said
"Ok! Take care and I love you!" He said with a seductive voice
"I love you too" I said the hung up the phone
"Doctor Collins! The cheifs wants to see you!" Says Calvin one of the doctor resident
"What? Why?" I asked very curious
"I don't know? He just asked for you..." he said in a hurry
I went straight to the cheifs office and I saw him doing some paper works
"You wanted to see me?" I said respectfuly
"Uh…Yes!" He said glazing up on me the back to his paper works
"What is it?" I asked curious why he wants me in his office
"I need you to be on graveyard shift starting next week"
"Yes Doctor Fleetwood ask me to exchange shift with her"
"Ok! So that's it… I just want to inform you about the changes… is it ok with you?"
"I don't think I can do anything about that soo… I'm good with it" I said causing us both to smile
"You'll start your graveyard shift on Monday"
"Alright! I have to go back to work then sir if you don't have anything to say"
"Please" He said gesturing the door
"Thanks!" I said as I leave his office
Logan's POV
As I woke up I gave a quick call to Josh just to greet her good morning and remind her that her nephew will be coming over today. I was glad that she remembered it coz she's not the yes-i-remember typed of gal. After that I've got nothing much to do. So I dig in to my fan mails. I read and write back to them. Its almost 10 o'clock when I receive a call from Josh older brother
"Hello?" I greeted
"Hey... are you with Josh right now?" He asked
"Nope... she's at work... she needs to do her rounds" I said
"Ohhh... that explains it" he said with relief
"Why?"
"I have been trying to call her... I just want to make sure she remembers" he said
"Yep... she remembered it... you don't have to worry" I said
"Ok... we'll be there at 3..." he said
"Ok we'll see you soon" I said
"I'm really sorry..." he said with a glom in his voice
"Hey... why do you need to be sorry... family first" I said
"Thanks!" He said
"I'm sure you're gonna do the same thing if it was me" I said
"Sure thing brother... I'll just bring Echo the later at 3"
"Bye!" I said then hung up
I tried calling Josh but she's not picking up... so I guess she busy... with nothing much to do I decided to get a long bath and get ready to pick her up at 12. At 11:30 I drive going to the hospital. Inside the car I dialed her number. With 2 rings she answered.
"Hey baby!"
"Hello!"
"I'm on my way there"
"Just in time... I'm just finishing things in here..."
"Ok... I'll be there in 20 minutes"
"Ok bye..." she said then hung up
The trafic wasn't bad so I got to the hospital in less than 20 mins. I've walk into the hospitals main entrance and wait there. 10 minutes have past and still she's not out yet. I decided to call her to know what's keeping her inside just 2 rings and she answered
"Hey... I'm already here" I said trying not to sound sarcastic
"Baby... can you go at my condo and wait for Echo... there's an emergency in here..." then she hung up
What the hell! I can't do anything about an emergency so I went straight to her condo. There I waited. I watched 'How I Met Your Mother' coz that's the series that she has a complete dvd. I have already watched 4 episode then I look at the clock it says 3:05 Echo will be here soon... I turn off the dvd and the TV and text Josh
*Hey... your nephew will be here any time now*
Then my phone rang.
"Hello!"
"Logan! Are you with Josh? She's not picking up any of my calls" he said with worry in his voice
"Nope... she's still at the hospital"
"What? I thought she remembered?" His voice has furrious in it
"Yup... that's why I'm here at the condo"
"Alright were coming up" he said then hung up
A few minutes later there's a knock on the door. I open it and saw Jeremy and Echo.
"Thanks for covering..." Jeremy said with relief in his voice
"No problem... Josh said thaat there was an emergency in the hospital... but she'll be home soon... so you don't have to worry about anything" I said reassuring him
"Ok... now Jericho... you'll be staying with your aunt Josh and uncle Logan... be good ok!" Jeremy said to Echo
"Yes dad... you take care of mom! And grad dad and grad mom..."
"Ok ok... go get in... I'll see you on Sunday! Give daddy a kiss" Echo hugged and kissed Jeremy then run inside as if it was his house
"I thought you guys are going on a honeymoon... why is Susan and Jerry with yah?" I ask confused
"Well... we will have dinner with some business partners there then well go separate ways... well take care of Echo... and tell Josh to call me as soon as she got home.."Jeremy said
"Will do" I said then put my hand out he took it and pulled me in a bro hugged and gave me a pat in the back
"Well take good care of him! Enjoy your alone time!" I said as he turn away
He wave his hand and said "thanks!"
I shut the door and try to call Josh but still there's no answer. Jericho was just sitting on the couch playing his psp. He's so focused on what his doing
"Hey..." I said
"Hey!" He replied his eyes still looking at his psp
"what are you playing?" I ask trying to get his attention
"NBA 2K13" his eyes still locked on the screen
"Do you play basketball?" I asked. He said yes by nodding his head "when did you start?" I ask tring to start a flowing conversation with him
"When I was 5" he said glancing at me then he continued playing
"How old are you now?"
"Seven"
"is it your favorite sport?"
"Yup"
"You must be good at it..."
"Yes... my dad said being good at basketball runs in our blood"
"Really? How can he say so?" I asked then finally he put down his psp and started talking to me
"Well... my dad said grand dad's dad is good at it... then grand dad and his younger brother is good at it... then he said that his good at it and also uncle charles is good at it... so I gonna be good at it also"
"Ohhh... that's a long history of basketball..."
"Yeah... and ohh... aunt Josh also play basketball... and she's good at it also... she's my second coach"
"Really?"
"Yes! What about you do you play basketball?"
"Uh-hu... I just don't think I'm really good at it... I like boards more..."
"Boards? Like black boards and white boards" his face looks confuse maybe his thinking I'm a geek
"no no... I like skateboards... long boards... surf boards and stuffs like that" I said with a big grin
"Ohhhh... I thought you were a geek!" He said he laught
"Do I look like a geek?" I asked and do a funny face
"A little" he said still with a big smile
"A little? Really?" I said leaving my mouth a little open
"Yes" he said while nodding his head and laugh
"What do you want to do for tonight?" I asked
"I don't know?" He said with a smirk
"Ok we'll just wait for Josh then we could go pick up some food" I said
"Ok" then he nod
"Or do you like to play basketball? I know a great spot and we can play with someone" I said grining
He nod with an exicited smile. I called Kendall and ask him to go to the open court we usally play
Josh P.O.V
I'm supposed to be done with my shift 4 hours ago when a patient needed an emergency surgery it lasted for 3 hours in the OR and I still spend another hour just waiting for the results of some test we run for him. Finally I'm done. I looked at my phone as soon as I'm done with my shift there's 10 voice mail from my brother all about me being iresponsible and things like that... but he said sorry and told me to call him as soon as I got home. There's also two text from Logan
*Hey... Your nephew will be here any minute now*
*hey echo and I will go play out... the usual b-ball spot*
I'm really glad that Echo and Logan are having a good time together... coz I thought that Jericho will show is introvert type personality that he usually show to people he don't like... but I guess he likes Logan that's why they're hanging out playing b-ball. I'm done with my shift I called Logan it was a long wait but he pick up
"Logan! how are you guys doing?" I sounded worried and I don't know why
"Baby there's no need to be worried we're done and well meet you at your condo we'll be there in short time" he said with reasuring tone
"Ok... I just got off from work... I'll wait for you guys home" I said then hung up
The hospital is just infront of my condo building so it wasn't a long walk. When I reached home... I decide to take a shower just to wash off the stress from work. When I finished my shower I throw in a shirt and jeans. Then go out from the bedroom. There I saw Logan and Echo sitting on the couch talking with each other
"Did you like it?" Logan asked
"Yes! We should do that again" Echo said you can hear happiness in his voice
I walk silently to Echo's back then whisperd "Hey!" in his ear
"Aunt Josh!" Echo said then he stand on the couch facing me the hugged me
"Ewwww... you smell like sweat" I said teasing him
"I played basketball with uncle Logan and Kendall" he said
"Are they good?" I asked the gave a funny face to Logan
"Nah... I can totally beat them" he said braging
"You take a shower and we'll go out for dinner"
"Ok!" He said
"Keep the door open! Just close the shower curtain. Don't worry I'm not gonna walk in on you!" I said
"Ok!" As soon as his out of the sight I sat beside Logan who also smells like sweat
"Baby..."
"Yes?"
"You smell..."
"I know" he said smiling
"Thanks for taking cover" I said
"No problem" he said with his big boy next door smile
"Go take a shower" I said
"Ok..." he said getting up
"Did you bring some clothes?" I asked
"Yep... I'll go take a shower... I'm gonna use the bathroom in your room... want to join me?" He said with a big smile
"I just finished taking one… maybe later when we're back" I said
"I'll look forward to it" he said the pulled me in my waist and kissed me passionately we pulled away when we had problem with air
"Go take a shower let's continue this later" I said giving a peck on his lips he then pulled away the head towards the shower.
A few minutes later Echo is done showering
"I'm done" he said his wrapped with a towel
"Where's your bags?"
"In my room" he answered
"Let's get you dressed" I said
We walk towards the guess room while getting him dressed he asked me a question
"Do you still play? He asked
"Basketball?"
"No… piano and guitar" He said
"Nope"
"Why?" he asked I think his a little disappointment in his voice
"I just don't have the time anymore… why did you asked?" I said
"I just remember when I was 3… you used to let me sit beside you when you're playing the grand piano in grandmom and granddad's house… and you were great"
"You have a good memory… you still remembered that even thou you were still small"
"Well… you're the reason why I'm taking piano lesson since I was 3"
"I bet you're good at it now"
"Pretty much… I always try to be good at everything I do… I don't want to disappoint my dad" he said I can feel the pressure that his under for being the first kid on our family there was a brief silence
"I know how that feels… but don't worry your dad won't be disappointed of you... he loves you so much… as much as I love you" I said as we finished getting him dressed
"Really?" he said with a hopeful smile
"Really really!" I said tickling him then he squeal
"Are you guys ready?" Logan asked he was standing at the door
"How long have you been there?" I asked
"Just now" he said
"Let's go!" I said standing up
"Are we gonna use your car again?" Jericho asking Logan in his voice you can hear excitement
"Yep! But you're gonna seat at back this time coz aunt Josh is with us"
"Its ok!" Echo said
"Where do you want to eat?" I asked Echo
"Could we eat at the mall"
"That's great we could also go to the arcade and shop some groceries there" Logan said
"Let's go!" I said
We went to the mall. First they went to paly in the arcade. Logan's like a kid playing with another kid he looks like his having the time of his life. Then we ate at Pizza Hut coz they want to get pizza. While eating the talk about NBA... they both are a LA Lakers fan and they just keep going and going until we finnished shopping for groceries. Inside the car there was silence I took a look at Echo who's sitting at the back his asleep he got tired playing and talking with Logan
"He likes you" I said whispering
"Really? He doesn't seem so" he said whispering a joking tone
"I think you'll be a great father to your future kids"
"Our... future kids" he said as reached for my hand and kissed my palm the rest of the drive home was silent when we reached the basement parking of my condo Logan carried Echo he doesn't want to wake him and I carried the groceries we went to the elevator. As soon as we reached my unit Logan placed Echo in bed and I went straight to the kitchen to store the groceries. A few minutes later Logan is lending me a hand
"You know that your scoring major points with what your doing" I said
"Really? Should I be rewarded?" He asked with slow seductive voice
I put the cereal box on the cup board its the last one to be stored. As I do that Logan put his head at my shoulder kissing my neck his hands holding me at my waist. I closed the cup board and face him. I cupped his chin and tilt his head so his eyes meet mine. His brown eyes filled with passion, desire, lust, love he kissed me his tongue invading my mouth he then grab my waist pulling me closer to him I can feel his erection I let a low tone groan he then lift me "put your legs around my waist" he said. I do as I'm told he then carried me towards the bedroom his lips never left mine. He laid me on the bed and now his on top of me still his lips doesn't leave mine I started to unbotton his shirt he pulled his shirt out and pulled my shirt off carefully "your so beautiful" he said breathing heavily he unbotton my jeans grabs it down. I'm now down with my underware. He took off his jeans leaving him in his boxer breif and then the rest is magic...
Next moring I woke up by the light coming from the sun. I looked at my side Logan was there just staring
"Morning" he said with a smile then kissed my forehead
"How long are you awake?" I said still sleepy
"A while" he said again with a smile
"Enjoying the view?" I asked with a big grin
"Yup I love watching you sleep coz you smile and say stuffs" he said
"says stuffs?" I asked still sleepy
"Uh uh..." he said the kissed me in the forehead
"What kind of stuff?"
"Secret... happy anniversary!" He said then finally a kissed on my lips. We pulled away coz we heard movement from outside.
"I think Echo's awake" I said "come on let's make some breakfast!" I said standing only wearing Logan's shirt and my undies
"ok!" Logan said "I want bacons and eggs" Logan standing up only wearing his boxers
We go out of the room and walk straight to the living room and we saw Echo watching spongebob.
"Morning Echo!" Logan greeted Jericho
"Morning!" Echo said still sleepy
"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked
"Cereal and milk" Echo said
"ok! We better start the day now coz Carlos invited us to hang out at his house with the guys and we've got a dinner reservation in London West Hollywood at 8 o'clock" Logan said
I prepared the breakfast while Logan and Jericho take a shower.
"We're done!" Logan said as he usher Echo into the dinning table
"You two eat and I'll take a shower" I said
"Aren't you gonna eat?" Logan asked
"I'm done! Oh and I receive a call..."
"Please tell me its not about work" Logan said with a sad smirk
"Well its about it"
"Your not going to the hospital are you?"
"Nope... they just want me to look at some documents that they've send to my email" I said
"Ok we'll wait for you!" Logan said then started eating
"No... don't wait... I'll just follow"
"No! We're gonna wait for you! End of descussion" Logan said his voice is firm
"Ok... I'll just take a shower and will take a look at the doc at my study... just knock so I could come out and see what you need" I said turning towards the bathroom in my room
Logan's POV
God! Why does Josh need to prioritize her work. I don't want to pick a fight over small things and another thing Jericho is here.
"Have you entered Aunt Josh study room?" Jericho asked
"Nope... why did you asked" thinking about it we've been dating for a year and I still don't see inside her home office/ study
"Nothing... I'm just curious what's inside it..." Jericho said
"Why? Haven't you got in there?"
"Nope... my dad said Aunt Josh never let anyone inside it not even my dad and grad dad" Echo answered finishing his cereal. So nobody except Josh had entered her home office, I wondered why.
Its 1:30 and Josh is still inside her home office. This is the reason why I didn't want to leave her coz when I let her followed she will go to Carlos' crib by sunset. She's been in there for too long I knocked on the door to her office and I heard her answer "just a sec..." with a few seconds she's out of the office.
"You've been there too long!" I said raising my voice
"I'm done we could go now" she said trying to avoid the fight
"Finally!" I said trying to keep my cool
"I'm sorry... I don't want a fight not on a very special day" she said then she reached for my lips but I'm so mad that I deflect the kiss to my cheeck
"Let's go..." I said getting my keys Echo grab his bag and I also got our bag. On the way to the basement garage was silent. When we we're on the car Echo asked Josh a question I've been meaning to asked her
"Aunt Josh..." he said
"Yes?" She answered
"Why do you have 3 car spots when you only have a motorcycle?" Echo said
"For my visitors... I don't want them coming over and not have a car park" she said with anuneasy voice. Is that really it or is there something else? The rest of the drive going at Carlos' crib was silent. I'm still mad at Josh for prioritizing her work. I pulled behind Kendall's car and we walk to the front door Josh was at the back talking with someone over the phone. Carlos welcome us inside and Echo went straight to the pool where Kendall, Jo and James are.
"Hey! Is everything alright?" Carlos asked
"Yeah... I mean Josh is always busy with stuffs even thou its our anniversary..."
"Hey you have to understand she's a doctor... a lot of people is counting on her" Carlos said looking at Josh who's still at her phone
"Thanks for informing me! I'll get back on that on Monday" Josh said then hung up she walk towards us but I'm still mad so I went to the pool. I heard the door shut. I sat on the lounge chair beside Kendall
"So how's the anniversarry going?" Kendall asked teasing
"Kendall!" Jo said
"What? I just want to tease him... coz I think there fighting... again!" Kendall said
"Stop it! Just give them a break ok!" Jo said
"What are you guys fighting about?" James asked
"Her work..." I said
"Again?" Kendall asking
"Yeah... I think she loves her work more than she loves me" I'm really mad right now
"Is that what you think? That I love my work more than you?" Josh said I didn't notice her entering the pool area
"Hey... you guys could take the entetainment room its sound proof so that the kid won't hear you fight" Carlos said with his serious tone. I grabbed Josh hands and dragged her toward the entertainment room
"What's wrog with you?" She said shouting
"Me? I'm not the subject here!" I said yelling back
"Well tell me what's eating you up so we could fix this!" She said yelling back
"You love your work more than me!" I said a I run my hand to my hair
"Logan that's just a complete joke... if I love my work more than you I should hav..." she said then paused for a few minutes "I should have accept the offer in New York…" she said then tears started to fall in her eyes
"Don't you dare cry on me now..." I said. I don't want to see her cry coz I know I'm gonna break down and let her win this fight
"What do you want me do? Do you want me to stop working? I'll do it if that's what you want!" She said sobbing I pulled he unto a hugged her head resting on my chest
"Baby I don't want to see you cry... its just I realize that I don't know you that much even thou we were dating for a year now..." I said
"What do you mean? You know me so much... you probobly know me more than anyone knows me... you know me more than my father knows me!" She said still crying
"I heard you talking to Echo yesterday about playing the piano and stuff... and earlier today I realize that I still haven't seen inside you home office..." I said
"Is that it? That's too shalow for a fight..." she said she finally started to calm down
"No that's not it... I mean there's a reason why you stopped playing... there's a reason why you don't let other people in you home office why you have three car spots at your garage... why you still don't let me meet your BBF..." I said trying to hold my tears back
"Logan... I don't want to talk about this right now... I'm just not ready to tell this things to you... I'm afraid your gonna think different when you knew my past life" she pulled away from the hugged and looked at me in my eyes
"It just build up on me maybe because its our anniversarry and you have to work and yesterday I've heard you talking about playing the piano and why I haven't met your BBF and stuff like that... I just felt like I don't know you..." I said tears are treathining to fall there was silence for a while we just stood in the middle of the room no one is saying anything
"I..I...I.. just don't know what to say.. do you want me to tell you every detail of my past?" She says every word with pain. I can't take it anymore tears started to flood my eyes I pulled her into my chest and hugged her tightly
"Baby... I'm really sorry I didn't mean to hurt you... its just this past few days you've choosed work over me... it's just me getting jealous over things that I shouldn't be jealous at..." I paused for a moment she's trying to pull away from my arms but I didn't want her to see me cry so I held her tighter "I'm so sorry... I love you so much Josh" I said as I release a quite sob. She hugged me back and I know I'm forgiven we just hugged each other for a moment and I received a text from Carlos
*hey guys... are you done fighting? BBQ's almost done... we don't want it cold are we?*
"Baby... Carlos wants us out... he said BBQ's are ready" I said
"Ok... I'm sorry..." she said her voice had calm down I reached for her hands and kissed them
"I'm sorry also for being jealous and stuff" I said giving an are-we-okay smile "let's not fight on our anniversary... I don't want to ruin your day... let's just rest this day over... like we didn't have this fight" I said feeling guilty of picking a fight on our anniversary. I wiped the tears from her face using my thumb and placed gentle kiss on the right corner of her lips she then point on the other corner and I kissed it then on her nose I kissed it then on her forehead I kissed it and then she pointed her lips I kissed it. I love her and that is what matter. We having our moment when Carlos came rushing on the room
"So... I assume you guys are ok now... why don't you come out and join us by the pool eh?" He said.. we go to the pool and had some BBQ that Carlos maid. Carlos is really a good cook. While there Jericho, Carlos, Kendall, James and I played some catch football while Josh and Jo talk with each other. From time to time I look at her and wink then she would smile. It's already 5:30 when we decide to pack up coz we still got a reservation in London West Hollywood.
"Hey... do you guys want to have your date alone?" Kendall asked
"Why?" I said. Ofcourse we want that
"We could take Jericho with us... Jo and I don't have anything to do... we could go to my crib and play some video games there" Kendall suggested
"I'm gonna talk to Josh about that" I said then walk over to Josh who's standing by the car
"Baby... Kendall asked me if we want to have an alone time this dinner" I said
"What about Echo?" Then she looked at Echo who is still talking with Carlos and James
"He said he could take him and we could pick him up after dinner". At the back of my mind I'm saying please say ok with it
"Let's go asked Echo if its ok with him" she said then I know that I have a good chance of having her alone for my self tonight.
"Echo... is it ok of you stay with Kendall while Uncle Logan and I have dinner at London West Hollywood or would you like to come with us?" Josh asking Jericho
"Well... I like to stay with Kendall... I don't like the food at London West Hollywood and I think I will feel bored in there" Echo said
"Well you heard the kid!" I said with a big idiotic smile
"Ok come on! Say goodbye to Carlos and James" Josh said
We said goodbyes to James and Carlos the we walked to our cars. My car is just behind Kendall's. Jericho hop in to Kendall's car. "Take good care of him!" Josh said then Kendall drove off. We followed after a few minute. I drop Josh to her condo to let her get ready for tonight's dinner and I went home to pick up some few clean clothes coz I'm gonna be staying at Josh's crib again tonight and also I need to look good for tonight.
