This chapter is kind of short, but it's a chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to MadsLovesGlee97 for the idea. I really had nowhere else to go with this and she saved me. If anyone else has any ideas let me know. I don't want it to be over quite yet, but I don't know what else to do to make it longer than 15 chapters or so. Thank you for all the reviews, alerts, faves and reads. I appreciate them all. Review and let me know what you think of the story.

Chapter 9

August 8th, 2030

Briley and Brenli had had a good day together at the studio. Brenli had loved getting the chance to see Briley do her work and just get to spend time with her big sister.

The day was over and they were now heading back to Cory and Lea's for dinner. Logan was meeting them there.

Briley laughed as she saw the nervous look on her sister's face. She asked, "Since when have you been scared of mom and dad?"

Brenli looked at her and said, "It isn't mom I am worried about. You got married and dad has been so out of shape. It is like he has lost one of his precious hockey sticks with the signatures from the Canucks on it or something. He walks around the house in a fog. Whenever I bring up Logan he gives me a death glare and adds something about I better not get married any time soon. Briles, we all know that you and dad have a special connection that none of the rest of us have with him. He loves us, but you are the one that he is closest to. I just don't want him to scare Logan away. I really like him."

Briley told her, "I'm sorry. I didn't realize it would hurt daddy so much. Tonight isn't going to be that bad. Mom and daddy love Logan. You know that. They practically raised him, too. I mean all of us have been raised by all the other Glee members. You really have nothing to worry about."

Logan was sitting in the driveway waiting for them when they got there. Brenli got out of the car and ran to Logan. He took her in his arms and gave her a small kiss. Logan asked, "Is it bad that I am nervous about this? I have known your parents my whole life, but it is different meeting the parents of your girlfriend."

Brenli looked up at him and said, "Girlfriend?"

"Well, yeah. I thought that was a given. There is no one I could want more than you."

Brenli blushed and took his hand. Briley walked over to them and put her hand on her stomach. She said, "The two of you better be careful. You see where I am. I can't promise that I wouldn't kill you if you knocked up my little sister."

Logan laughed and said, "You have nothing to worry about there. I care about Brenli, but we aren't ready for that yet. It is going to be a long time before we are ready for that."

"Good. Are you ready to go in?"

The three of them walked up to the door. Briley opened the door and said, "Daddy, mom we are here."

Cory came rushing to the door and picked Briley up. He gave her a long hug and asked, "How are you feeling, princess?"

Briley told him, "I miss Briar, but Kyli and I are doing good."

"He will be home soon."

Cory looked up to see Logan with his arm wrapped tightly around Brenli. Cory stuck out his hand and said, "Logan. It is nice to see you. We haven't seen much of you lately."

Logan told him, "Sorry about that, sir. Things have been really busy."

Briley and Brenli looked at each other. Cory looked at Logan as he slapped him on the back, "Since when am I sir? Are you feeling alright?"

Logan let out a nervous laugh. "Sorry, Cory. I'm feeling kind of off today."

"Well, you know it is Cory to you. I have only known you since the day you were born. There is no need for you to ever call me sir."

"Got it. Sorry."

Lea came in the foyer. She asked, "What are all of you doing standing here? Lets get in the house." Lea gave each of her daughters a hug.

Briley asked, "Where are Noella and Levi?"

"Oh, they are over at a friend's house."

"Oh."

They all sat down at the table. Cory enthusiastically asked, "How is filming going, Briles?"

Briley smiled and said, "It is going to be better when Briar is there, but it is going well so far."

"The people playing Finn and Rachel aren't better actors than your mom and I, are they?"

Briley laughed. "Never, daddy. They are really nice though. They are engaged. I went out shopping with the girl yesterday. I have a feeling we are really going to get along. She is sweet."

Lea told her, "That is great."

Cory asked, "Logan, what have you been up to?"

Logan said, "Uhh.. I have just been getting ready for my last year of high school. I really wish mom and dad would have homeschooled me. It kind of sucks sometimes the way everyone tries to use me to get to my mom and dad."

"I'm sorry."

"It really isn't that big of a deal. I just have one last year and then I'm off to college or try my hand at acting. I kind of want to be like everyone else and see if I got what it takes. I like to think it is in my blood, but I'm not so sure."

"Yeah. I can see you making it. I don't think you have anything to worry about."

Things started to get awkward as there was a silence. Briley looked at Brenli and asked, "Do you think you will want to go back to filming with me again?"

Brenli told her, "I really think so. It was a lot of fun to see you in your element. I love that they added your pregnancy to the story line and everything. I have to go back when Briar is back. I know the two of you will have so much on screen chemistry just because of how much he loves you. I know it's killing him not to be with you here."

"Yeah. I can't wait to see how our scenes go together."

"You know they will."

Brenli was sitting next to Logan. She had her hand on his hip as she ate her dinner. She looked over at him and he had pizza sauce on his face. She wiped it away with her finger and said, "Sorry, you had a little something there."

Logan looked up at her and said, "I love you."

The whole table kind of gasped. Cory had spit out the drink he had just taken. He looked at Logan and asked, "What did you just say?"

Logan took a jagged breath and grabbed Brenli's hand for support. Then he said, "I love Brenli. I can't help it. I love your daughter. She is beautiful and perfect. There is no one in my life that is anything like her. I don't know what I would do without her. I just can't hide it."

Cory couldn't take his eyes off the two of them. They could tell he was fuming.

Brenli looked at Cory and told him, "I love him, too. You and mom are perfect for each other. When I am with Logan I feel like how you must feel with mom. I just have to tell you I love him, too. It's not like we are planning on getting married any time soon. That is a long way off if it happens, but I think it will."

Logan squeezed Brenli's hand as he smiled at her.

Cory was in shock. He rubbed his hand across his forehead and said, "I wasn't expecting that. I'm losing my girls too fast."

Briley told him, "Daddy, don't be silly. You will never lose us. You will only gain more of us. I mean look at me. In four and a half months you are going to have another girl around to spoil. I know how much you love to be surrounded by girls. I was hoping you would help Briar. I know he will be a great dad, but you are the best dad of all times."

Cory laughed. "I see what you are doing there. I love all of you. I just don't think I can ever get used to my girls having someone loving them so much, other than me."

Brenli said, "Daddy, no worries. You know you will always be our number one guy."

The rest of the dinner was awkward for Logan as he tried not to look at Cory after letting his feelings out unexpectedly.


Brenli and Briley were lying in Briley's bed. Briley had to laugh as she said, "Well, that was one interesting dinner."

Brenli put the palm of her hand up to her head. She said, "I can't believe he just came out and said that out of the middle of nowhere. I'm glad to know he loves me, but why right in front of daddy? I thought he was going to choke on his drink."

Briley laughed. "It was cute. You and Logan are good for each other. Daddy and mom both like him. That is always a good thing. You have nothing to worry about."

"Yeah. I can't help but love him and how much of a nerd he is. I know he is two years older than me, but it works for us. He is great and I know he cares about me. He reminds me of Briar. I consider myself lucky to have my own Briar in my life. I just can't wait until we are married some day and I can be lying in our bed carrying his baby."

"Hold on there, hot stuff. You still have quite a while for that."

"Of course. I am going to be at least 20 before that happens."

"Good. You would give dad a heart attack if you did talk like that round him."

"That is why I won't."

"Good."

Briley's cell phone rang with her nightly call from Briar. She took the time to tell him about the interesting night and all he had missed. Of course she didn't leave out how much she loved and missed him.

Briley and Brenli spent some of the night talking after Briley got off the phone with Briar. She couldn't get over how lucky she was to have all of the people in her life that she had.
