Chapter 7

Today was the day we would be going to get the test done. Logan and Bridget had come with me. Jesse had come also. he was trying to spend time with the baby and hold him but I wasn't having it.

"Let's lay some rules right here right now" I told Jesse

"When you find out he is yours. You will nto try to get custody of him. He is ours. He stays with us. he will not be allowed out of my house with you unless one of us is with you. He will not call you dad, he will not have your last name, you will not sign his birth certificate. He is our son, you just gave him to me. Im thankful you did that much for me. But that's it. You will not have any relationship with him if you screw up once. I am letting you do this much. You are only allowed to visit him when there is someone home and only at our house. He will not be going to your house. Me and you are nothing we are just his parents. That';s all got it"

"Liv, that's not fair"

"Then i can let you not see him" I told him

Little did he know. I was working with an attorney. We were going to get it in writing and also get him to sign it. I was taking him to court. And I was going to win. They would not let a single father, who travels for work and is irresponsible have custody of his son.

After we got the test done, Jesse wanted to come back to my house with us. I refused ot let him until Logan gave in and said it was alright.

"Liv, he just wants to be in his sons life. I can imagine how he feels" Logan began We had the radio on in the house. Everyone had come over to visit. I called my attorney in my office and let her know what was going on. She said we would work something out. She was very nice. She was actually Carlos' mother so I was glad to be working with someone close. She talked me out of a restraining order. When I walked back into the living room, Jesse was playing with the baby. He was already two months old. It hurt me to look at him and know he was Jesse's. You could see it in his face. Jesse didn't mean any harm. I walked over and sat by them

"We did a good job Liv"

"Another comment like that your out of here" I told him

"Please stop treating me like im a criminal. This is my son too. I want the best for him. I love him just as much as you. I have no problem you replaced me just don't replace me in his life" he said an I rolled my eyes. "I appreciate all you do for him Liv. He is already a great little man. he has these guys in his life. One way or another, they would have been in his life. With all of us here this boy is going to hve alot of love" he said and I tried to smile a little. I knew what I needed to do. I went into the kitchen and started making dinner for everyone. Jesse even stayed.

"This is really great. thanks everyone" he said

When Jesse left. I walked over to Logan "I love you and thank you for being nice. I need to talk to him" I said and Logan nodded

I followed Jesse out to his car.

"Jesse wait" I said and he turned around

"Yea Liv"

"im sorry for the way im acting. I just love him. Im sorry it didn't work with us and now im finally with the man I truly love. I don't want anything to ruin that. Yes, im hurt about what you did. We could have been a happy little family. But now that's gone. I want you to be a part of this big family. Just not as my husband, boyfriend or anything Jesse. Just his father. Me and Logan are together now. That's how I plan on keeping it. I hope you can understand. I understand you want a part in your child' life. I don't mind that. But please don't try to ruin it for anyone. I just hope you will respect my decisions" I told him

"Liv, your great with him. you can make all the decisions about his life. I just want to be there to watch him grow. Im fine if he stays with you and lives with you. But when he is old enough to understand I hope you will let him make his own decisions about what he wants. I love you. I always will. I know you and Logan have always had that genuine love that could move mountains. im not mad. Im happy you are finally happy. I know I wasn't the best man I could be and I was wrong for what I did to you. But I hope that we could put our differences aside for our son" he said and I hugged him

"Thank you Jesse"

I still was making him sign a document. I walked back inside after he left. I told everyone what happened. They were all okay with this arrangement.

"Logan are you sure you dn't mind"

"Liv, Im sure it's hard on him not seeing his son. He should be able to. If I were in his shoes. I would feel the same way." he said and hugged me

The radio was on in the house, Demi's song was just over the announcer started to speak "And that was Demi Lovato, the singer/actress just announced she was pregnant with her first couldn't be any happier. No word yet on who she says the father is."

I found this somewhat relieving. I wouldn't have to worry about her taking Logan from me. That night we were sitting outside on the deck. The babies were inside sleeping. We sat out on the deck and talked. The door bell had rang. James got up to answer it for us. James came walking inside with a girl. I noticed it was Demi. I watched as she got close to Logan.

"Can we talk" she said

At that moment I felt my heart sink. They went inside together. After about ten minutes, I went inside to check on the baby. Logan was letting Demi hold him. I was pissed off. But I knew I couldn't be mad. After she left I ignored Logan the whole night.

"Liv, please tell me what's wrong"

"you let her hold him, she comes over here just to talk to you and your gone for ten minutes"

"Nothing happened" he said

"What did she want?" I asked

everyone became quiet now.

"She just wanted to let me know she's pregnant" he said

"is it yours?" I asked him

"I… I don't know" he said "She thinks it might be. She wants a DNA test done" I felt my heart rip out of my chest.

"James, Bridgit can I stay with you tonight?" I asked as Logan walked in the house they both nodded

"im sorry I can't look at him right now" I said

"bring the baby too if you want" James said

"Yea, its totally fine Liv. you need a break."

"I.. I don't know what to do" I said

I went and packed a bag. One for me and one for the baby.

"Liv, please leave him here" Logan begged me

"No Logan, I will be back whenever. Im not sure yet. I need to clear my head" I told him

I drove to James' house.

"Im sorry to do this to you guys, I just can't see him right now"

"it's alright liv, we understand. your going through enough right now and that just adds more to it" Bridgit said "Were here for you mama" she said and hugged me

James was playing with the baby while Bridgit and me talked

"Do you think it's his?" she asked

"Im not sure. He said that he was on tour with her. But never said they did anything. he said they were never together. but who says they couldn't have had one night stands every so often. Bridgit and I had turned on a football game and started to watch that. I started looking at my phone for information regarding Demi.

I got a call from a number. I answered it. thinking it was Jesse.

"hello" I said

"Hi is this Olivia" the woman said

"Yea" I said

"Hey, it's Demi. I just wnat you to know that I am sorry for the way I intruded tonight. I know its alot on you because I know your dealing with alot. I know you love Logan and Im sorry if it his child. I didn't put his best interest at heart. I tried making him forget about you when he was on tour with me. He tried telling me that he would never ruin his chances with you. I got him drunk and made him forget protection that night. I was selfish and wrong and i see how happy he is with your son and you and I feel horrible for ruining that." she said "i just wanted to apologize to you"

"its okay. Thanks for calling" I said

After I hung up I told James and Bridgit what happened. I had a dozrn texts from Logan. The next morning I woke up early. Bridgit already fed little Liam for me. I loved my son more then anything. I was just able to get up in the morning because of him anymore. I had an urge to talk to Jesse for some reason. But I tried not to. Logan paid us a visit later in the day. I told him about Demi calling and he said he was already aware of it because she asked him for my number last night. He gave t to her.

"Do you think it's yours?" I asked him

"There's always a possibility" he said "i know she's not one for sleeping around"

"God Logan, I love you and you go and do that"

"Look at what you did Liv, you had a baby by another guy and now you won't let him in his life"

"Fine, you know what. I'll give LIam to his father and I'll disappear forever what does it even matter anymore" I said and ran out of the house.

I didn't come home til three in the morning. Everyone was at James' house. They had all been out looking for me. Little did they know, I didn't go far. I was at the park all night and day down the street. Logan hurt me what he said . He shouldn't have siad it . When I go tinside. Logan hugged me

"Baby, im sorry for what I said. Please come home" he said hugging me tight

"I. I can't. I don't have a home" I told him "This is my home now. Liam is not your son don't worry about him" I said

"Liv, im sorry. This was before we ever happened. Please don't do this. i love you so much. i didn't cheat on you. this was when you were still with Jesse. She had been hiding it from me. She is apparently due next month.

"This can't be happening right now." I said to him

"Logan, I love you. but this can't happen. I can't share you with anyone else."

"Im sorry for what I said earlier it was wrong" he said

"Logan, I love you but we are done. If she's due now, then that means you had to have sex with her with you were with me" I said

"Wait that makes perfect sense. Liv, he is two months old, which means it couldn't have been me who got her pregnant. We were together when you were seven months along maybe even six months. so it's not mine. I'll prove that to you'

once Logan explained it to us it made sense. I still didn't wnat to believe it. I had made him take the DNA test anyway. the results for my test came the next day. I opened them. jesse was definitly the father. My attorney had us meet with her so he could sign the document that states things will be my wy. He had no problem with it. I felt a little better. He was getting to know his son and didn't put up a fight with me about anything.

I was glad things were coming together. I was still upset with Logan adn refused to move back home with him until I found out the truth.

I answered the door. he and Demi were standing outside of it. I let them inside James' house. James went to work so Bridget was home with me. They handed me a piece of paper. It said that Logan was not the father. I hugged him.

"Demi im sorry but I wish you the best of luck" I told her she walked away without another word.

Jesse had been sitting in the other room with the baby.

"Why didn't you tell me about this Liv. I could have been there"

"im fine jesse. I didn't need help" I said "I was getting through jsut fine"

I moved back home a few days later once we worked everything out. Things just started falling into plce on their own .
