I would also like to thank a special person; she knows who she is, if it wasn't for her this chapter wouldn't have been published yet and for the hug :) Enjoy.


"Honey, do you really think that was an appropriate story to tell the kids?" She whispered to her husband who was still seated.

"Yes" He insisted "They're never too old to know what a disappointment love is"

"Oh" She stated, her face dropping which he noticed.

"Babe" He said standing up, taking her hand in his and looking in her eyes "I definitely don't mean us. You are not a disappointment in fact you are quite the opposite. You are my life, my love and my heart. I live to make you happy. And" He said placing his hand on her cheek soothingly "You saved me. I love you" She smiled.

"I love you too" She captured his lips with her own in a sweet kiss filled with love, a little lust and a promise of more later. They pulled away at the collective 'ew's' of the children. He laughed ruffling their hair causing both of them to stick out their tongues at him.

Suddenly an engine could be heard from outside before it was cut off.

"Someone's home" He said.

The door opened before being shut. "Hello, I'm home" He announced softly. Nicholas smiled excitedly running out of his bed in his blue superman pyjamas. Jamie got out as well following her brother trying not to look excited, but her speed was a giveaway.

"Wait" He said suddenly remembering something.

"Someone's in trouble" His wife sang "They were supposed to be asleep an hour ago"

"I know" He groaned "Babe…" He began softly.

"No" She said flatly, knowing what he was going to ask.

"Please" He begged giving her with the puppy dog eyes. She moaned. She hated the puppy dog eyes. Ever since he had leant it from the kids he could get away with anything, but not this time. She will be strong.

She opened her mouth, but only a whine came out so she shut it quickly, but he already noticed. He grinned, knowing he was going to get his way. She shook her head.

"Please" He said adding pouty lips to the puppy dog eyes. She was not prepared for this.

"Fine" She signed giving in.

"I love…" He said leaning in for a kiss.

"No" She lifting up her hand and walked away, smiling. He smiled as he followed her.

"…And then it just fell out" Nicholas said proudly, showing off his tooth that had fallen out.

"It was so gross" Jamie whined.

"I'm sure it was" He laughed "But you know I've been here for almost a whole minute and I still didn't get a hug" He said looking hurt. They both embraced him, wrapping there small arms around him. He laughed, opening his arms so they both could fit a head on each shoulder.

"Sorry daddy" Nicholas said ashamed which made him feel a bit bad.

He could practically hear Jamie's eyes rolling and feel her smile. She was growing up too fast.

"It's ok. I forgive you" He said, placing a kiss on each one's head.

Hortense watched his son with his kids. Logan was such a good father. It was hard to believe that Hortense hasn't seen his son and grandkids since the wedding.

"Wait a minute" Logan said suspiciously as he pulled away "Aren't you guys supposed to be a sleep already?"

Hortense looked at his wife pleadingly. Rosaline rolled her eyes and stepped forward, but before she could say anything Nicholas spoke up.

"Grandpa told us a story" He grinned.

"Yeah" Jamie agreed "It was about you and a guy named James"

"No it wasn't" Nicholas said disagreeing "It was about Logan and James"

"Yes, daddy's name is Logan, duh. What did you think daddy's name was daddy?" Jamie laughed.

"No" Nicholas pouted, processing that his daddy's name wasn't daddy.

Logan would have found it cute if he was paying attention, but he wasn't. That name. He didn't expect that name to come out of either of his children's mouths. He would have been happy to forget that name completely and forever, but he was reminded of James every day. Logan snapped himself out of his thoughts, a skill that he had acquired in his first year in London when he couldn't get James out of his mind. It has been years now and it had taken him a while, but he was over James and happy. He glared at his father for telling them about James, who his children were bound to come asking about as they were quite curious, Logan wasn't ready yet. His father just smiled innocently.

"Ok it's time for bed" Logan announced. Jamie and Nicholas let out collective moans.

"But I'm not tired daddy" Nicholas said yawning.

"Me neither" Jamie said even though she had trouble keeping her eyes open. Logan smiled. They were so stubborn.

"Come on" Logan said grabbing a child, placing one on each hip and walking them to their beds, before tucking them in. He placed a kiss on each of their heads, before heading to the door.

"Daddy, sing to us?" Jamie asked.

"Ok, but then you have to go to sleep" Logan negotiated even though he knew they would fall asleep before he was done. They both nodded as they placed their heads on their pillows.

"Oh uh-huh" Logan began softly.
"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Ooooooh, oooohhh yeah, yeah

If you're tossin' and you're turnin'
And you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Every day I will remind you
" He trailed off smiling. He checked if they were really sleeping, because they were quite good actors and if they weren't asleep they would be tired tomorrow. He slowly and quietly closed the door, heading to the lounge where he found his dad and step mom sitting of the couch waiting for him.

"Is daddy gone?" Nicholas asked opening his one eye.

"Yeah" Jamie answered sitting up.

Logan sat down on the opposite couch facing his parents.

"I know you're mad…" His dad began.

"I'm not mad dad" Logan interrupted "I just wasn't ready"

"You're going to have to tell them sooner or later" Rosaline said.

"I know" Logan sighed "I was just hoping for later. Don't you think they're too young?"

"Nicholas might be, but not Jamie" Hortense answered.

"And you going to have to speak to James as well, he needs to know. You've kept this from him for far too long" Rosaline added, making sense. Even though Logan knew she was making sense he didn't want to do it. He wasn't afraid of seeing James, not at all; he was over James years ago. He was afraid for his kids especially Jamie. What if he rejected them? He couldn't tell the kids about James and then he rejects them.

"I'll go speak to him tomorrow first before I spring anything onto the kids. I'll scope him out and then decide if I should tell the kids. After all Lily knew him better than I did and she was afraid to let him know about their daughter, that says something" At the mention of her daughter's name Rosaline's face fell "I'm sorry" Logan apologized.

"Don't apologize, Logan. I loved my daughter, but what she did to you was wrong. I should be the one apologizing"

"There is no need. Even if I had the chance to do everything over again, I would still do it. I have two beautiful children that I love to death and I can't imagine my life without them. What Lily did was wrong yes, but she truly loved Jamie, I could tell" Logan smiled as he got up and hugged Rosaline.

"Thank you" Rosaline whispered with tears in her voice. Logan broke away after a while.

"Well, I'm heading to bed. Night" He said heading into his room.

"Goodnight" Hortense replied. When Hortense was sure that Logan couldn't hear him he spoke "Babe, are you ok?" Hortense asked gently wiping her tears away with the back of his hand and placing a soft kiss under each eye before placing one on her forehead. She wrapped her arms around his neck and sobbed. He rubbed soothing circles onto her back. He couldn't imagine how she felt, losing a child. She pulled away once she had stopped crying with a sad smile.

"Sorry"

"Don't you dare apologize, that's what I'm here for, to be your strong hunky husband" Hortense said flexing his nonexistent biceps making his wife giggle.

"You sure are hunky" She smiled.

"Should I make us some tea?"

"You know me to well" She replied as Hortense was already on his way to the kitchen. He knew that tea always calmed her down "I have a question" She said softly as not to wake the other sleeping residents, but loud enough for her husband to hear.

"Yeah?" He said indicating that he could hear her and that she could continue.

"Why did you really tell the kids about James and Logan?"

"Well" He said as he entered the lounge with a tray, on it two mugs of tea and a plate of cookies "I was hoping that the kids would tell Logan about the story and that Logan would realize that he still has feelings for James"

"But he seems like his moved on, especially considering he has a boyfriend" She justified as she grabbed her mug of tea in two hands, before getting comfortable on the couch bending her left leg on the couch, her other leg dangling over the edge. This allowed her to face Hortense. She took a sip of her tea, sighing.

"I know I make a great cup of tea" Hortense praised himself, his wife rolling her eyes but agreeing "I know my son and he still has feelings for James, but he is just too stubborn to do anything about it. He might even believe that he is over him, but he's not. And you've met his boyfriend"

That was all Hortense had to say, Rosaline nodding. One of the main reasons that Logan and the kids came to visit was because Blake, Logan's boyfriend, was doing some business here in LA. It has been a week since they arrived and they met Black two days ago. He was a handsome man with raven black hair and deep blue eyes. He was a nice boy and it seemed like Logan really loved him and Blake loved him back, but it was the little things that made Hortense doubt it. They never held hands, when they sat on the couch they never sat near each other rather leaning away subtlety and they never touched each other. Others might not have noticed but Hortense was good at reading body language so he did. He told Rosaline, of course but at the time she thought he was crazy, but when Blake came over again she paid much more attention and saw it too.

"Do you really think Logan is still in love with James?" She asked. Neither one of them noticed that Jamie and Nicholas were listening at their room door.

"I do" Hortense said placing the plate of cookies on the couch between them before taking his tea "Those kids of his are quite curious and I thought if I told them they would nag their father to find out who James was. Logan would be forced to face his feelings and confront James"

"But how can you be sure that James still loves Logan?"

"I can't, but Logan needs to face James especially for the Jamie's sake" Nicholas looked at his sister curiously before he returned his attention to his grandparents.

"Yeah, you right" She said taking a cookie, before smiling. It was her favourite, ginger nut. Even though Hortense wasn't a fan he took one and started nibbling it lightly before making a face and placing it back.

"I don't know how you can love ginger nut"

"Well, I love you and you're a nut"

"Oh" He said evilly.

"Don't even think about it" She said looking serious.

He launched himself forward towards her, but she was gone.

"To slow" She laughed, but Hortense was up again and grabbed her hips causing her to let out a surprised yelp, covering her mouth trying to stop the sound that left her lips already. Hortense kissed her cheek "Ew, cooties" She said faking disgust. He placed a kiss on her hand that was still over her mouth "Ok you win"

Jamie made a gagging sound, which made Nicholas giggle softly.

"I always do" Hortense smiled triumphantly.

"Do you think Logan will admit his feelings for James tomorrow?"

"I don't think so, but it is a step in the right direction. I have to make it up to them" He said as they walked to the bedroom. Hortense had told Rosaline that he had kept James and Logan apart, not allowing James to follow Logan or even letting him know where he was moving. Hortense had made it his mission to reunite them and fix the mistake he made so many years ago.

"Jamie, what were grandma and grandpa talking about?" Nicholas asked a bit confused as they both returned to their beds.

"Do you remember that story grandpa told us?" She asked and he nodded "That was a real story and grandpa says that daddy still loves James"

"But what about daddy and Blake?" He asked.

"Daddy is just a little confused" Jamie said thinking "And we're going to help daddy"

"We're going to help daddy be unconfused?" He asked excitedly, happy that he can help his daddy.

"Yes" Jamie said giggling softly "We start tomorrow, ok?" Nicholas nodded placing his head on his pillow excited for tomorrow.
