The next morning Logan wakes up with a smile. He has slept better than he had in the last few days with everything that was going on. As he carefully sits up he remembers the night before. He's glad that he got to sort everything out with Haley. They talked for a few hours, both saying what was bothering them and how they were feeling. And then there was that kiss, that mind blowing kiss, romantic and sweet but yet tender and sensual.
He hopes things won't get awkward between them again like it did last time after their kiss in the kitchen. He won't let that happen this time.
Logan's smile grows wider as he thinks about the kiss, not even noticing that Haley is coming from upstairs until he hears her hum a song. Haley stops humming when she sees that Logan is awake.
"H-hi, y-you're awake already." Haley says a bit nervous as she walks down the last two steps.
"Yeah, I just woke up." Logan answers trying to look away from her.
"You can get dressed if you want, when you're done I'll wake up Chloe and start breakfast." Haley tells him.
"Okay." Logan answers as he gets out of bed and walks up to his bag to get some clothes.
"Hales?" he asks as he sees Haley heading to the kitchen.
"Yeah?" she asks as she turns back around.
"Could you uhh.. could you maybe uhh..." Logan stammers nervously while looking down at the ground.
"...help you?" Haley finishes the sentence.
"Yeah." Logan sighs.
"I can't do it alone. It hurts so bad when I do it by myself since I can hardly move." he admits.
"S-sure, come on." Haley answers nervously as she leads the way to the bathroom.
'You idiot! You're letting things get awkward between you again.' Logan thinks to himself as he sighs and holds on to the clothes while following her. When he reaches the bathroom Haley avoids looking at him. Instead she nervously gathers the items she needs to get started.
"Hey." Logan softly says as he gently grabs Haley her wrist with his left hand, making her look up surprised.
Logan takes a step forward as he lets go of her wrist and places his hand on her cheek before he leans in and lets his lips softly touch hers and slowly moves his lips. Haley is confused for a second, but then moves her hands to cup Logan's face as she returns the kiss, making Logan smile against her lips.
Logan lets his tongue roll over Haley her bottom lip asking for entrance, and she parts her lips immediately to grant him access while she moves her hands to the back of Logan's head and runs them through his hair. Their tongues fight a short battle for dominance, but Haley quickly surrenders letting Logan take the victory. He knows that he has won and is taking advantage of it as he lets his tongue do a victory dance before he softly starts sucking on Haley her tongue, earning a soft moan from her.
Logan reluctantly breaks the kiss when the lack of oxygen forces him to, softly biting Haley her bottom lip and pulling it back before he lets go and leans his forehead against hers while caressing her cheek.
"Wow." Haley breaths.
"Definitely wow." Logan whispers with a smile.
"I was scared things would get awkward between us again after last night." Haley admits.
"I was scared about that too. It already started going in that direction when you came downstairs. That's why I had do something about it."
"So..." Haley starts as she pulls back and looks down.
"We're really going to do this? We're really going to start over?" she continues as she looks back up and into Logan's eyes.
"Do you want to?" Logan asks carefully.
Haley stays silent for a second as she looks down. Logan looks at her, waiting for an answer, scared of thinking she might have changed her mind during the night. It feels like an eternity to him before Haley looks back up as she is biting her bottom lip.
"I do." she nearly whispers.
Logan smiles and lets out a breath of air he didn't realize he was holding in.
"What about you? Do you really want to start over?"
"More than anything!" Logan softly answers with a big smile.
His smile fades as he sees the expression on Haley her face change.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Logan asks concerned.
Haley stays silent as she looks down at their feet again.
"Hales, look at me."
Haley continues to avoid looking at Logan, until he places his finger under her chin and making her look at him. When their eyes meet, Logan doesn't miss the tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Talk to me. We were doing so well last night, you can't shut down on me now."
"I'm just really scared." Haley nearly whispers, her voice cracking, as a tear rolls down her cheek.
"What are you scared of?" Logan asks confused as he wipes the tear away with his thumb.
"Everything! I just... I don't want to lose you! I can't handle that again! And I don't want Chloe to go through that! She just got to know you and she loves you so much! It would break her heart if..." Haley starts to ramble as more tears escape from her eyes.
"Baby, listen to me, you and Chloe won't lose me, okay. I promise! I'm not going anywhere!" Logan reassures her as he wipes away the tears.
"We'll take things slow and see where everything will lead us. But I really want us to try again! I want to be a family together! For now we'll just keep it to ourselves and we'll tell everyone when we're ready."
"But what if our parents don't agree? We both know your parents aren't my biggest fans right now. And what if our friends don't agree? And what about Chloe? I'm not sure we should do this. We have to..." Haley starts to ramble again.
"... stop worrying." Logan finishes the sentence as he interrupts her.
"We have to stop worrying. Okay? Chloe doesn't realize everything that has happened between us. She's so young and curious and she makes up her own opinions. She already thinks that we love each other. She will be fine." Logan continues.
"And my parents are coming around. They still love you, I can see that. That's probably one of the reasons why they reacted the way that they did. Our friends haven't given any signs that they are against us, so don't worry about that. And your parents have come around too. But in the end, I don't care what everyone else thinks or says. All that matters is us. You, me and Chloe. We can do this, together." Logan smiles as he moves a strand of hair behind Haley her ear.
Haley looks at him as she bites her bottom lip before she slowly nods her head.
"And how can your parents not love this?" Logan asks as he makes a silly face while trying to cross his eyes, but only ends up crossing his left eye.
Haley shakes her head as she bursts out laughing.
"There's the beautiful smile that I missed." Logan smiles making Haley blush.
Logan caresses her cheek before he slowly leans forward to capture her lips with his.
The kiss starts soft and slow, but grows as Logan lets his tongue roll over Haley her bottom lip asking her access which she grants by parting her lips. But before the kiss can go any further a shampoo bottle falls of the counter and onto the floor with a thud, interrupting them. They break apart and both start laughing when they notice what interrupted them.
"We better get you cleaned up before Chloe wakes up." Haley smiles.
Logan nods as Haley helps Logan take off the sling from his arm and his shirt before she starts the cleaning process again. Logan is glad he doesn't have to do it himself now.
"Do you want to go somewhere today? Just go do something with the three of us?" Logan asks.
"Sure, we could go to the park if you want. Then get back and have some lunch and after Chloe had her nap, we could go to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner." Haley answers.
"Sounds perfect."
It doesn't take long before they are done and Haley can help Logan get dressed again, before she starts doing his hair.
"Thank you." he smiles.
"You're welcome. Now I'll go check if Chloe is awake and then we can have some breakfast." Haley answers as she leaves the bathroom.
Logan follows her to the living room and watches her go up the stairs as he sits down on the couch. A few minutes later Haley is slowly walking backwards down the stairs, holding Bam-Bam in one hand, as she keeps an eye on Chloe, who is walking down the stairs by herself as she holds on to the banister.
"Good job, sweetie." Haley praises Chloe as they reach downstairs.
"Wanna go sit with daddy while I make breakfast?" she asks as she gives Bam-Bam back to her.
Chloe nods and runs passed Haley to the couch, her bare feet patting on the floor. Haley shakes her head and laughs a little as she heads into the kitchen.
"Daddy, daddy, did you see?" Chloe asks all excited as she runs around the couch.
"Hmm-mm, I sure did." Logan smiles.
"Mommy said I could do it, cause I'm a big gurl now." she informs Logan as she climbs onto the couch.
"Yes you are."
"Hi daddy." Chloe smiles as she gives Logan a kiss.
"Good morning, baby girl." Logan smiles.
"Daddy, I'm a big gurl." Chloe protests.
"But you're still my baby girl." Logan laughs.
Chloe doesn't know what to do with that and just sits back down. They watch tv for a bit until Haley walks into the living room telling them breakfast is ready. They both get up and Chloe holds Logan's hand as they head into the kitchen.
Haley helps Chloe in her chair and serves her a plate with a blueberry pancake cut into pieces with some whipped cream, before she serves Logan and herself a plate with blueberry pancakes with some whipped cream.
"These are so good!" Logan compliments Haley as he takes another bite.
"Uh huh, very good!" Chloe adds before she also takes another bite.
"Thank you both very much." Haley smiles.
It doesn't take long before they finished breakfast and Haley helps Chloe out of her chair and takes her upstairs to the bathroom to get cleaned up and dressed. Logan puts the whipped cream back in the fridge and carefully tries to clean some of the plates in the sink with his left hand until Haley walks back in the kitchen.
"You didn't have to do that."
"I know, but I wanted to do something. I feel so useless around here. And now I can't even clean some plates properly" Logan sighs.
"Logan, you have some broken and bruised ribs and your right arm is in a sling, it's normal not being able to do a lot of things. You need to give it time. If you over do it, it will only take you longer."
"I know."
"But you can do something, you could stay with Chloe while I go take a shower. She's in the living room playing with her toys. I'll finish these later." Haley smiles.
"Okay." Logan answers.
Haley stands on her tiptoes as she leans up and places a quick kiss on Logan's lips making him smile. She quickly lets go of Logan and heads upstairs to grab some clothes and take a shower in the upstairs bathroom as Logan heads into the living room to play with Chloe.
When Haley is done and she gets back downstairs she heads into the kitchen to finish cleaning up the rest of the dishes and puts them away. When she's done with that she makes some coffee for her and Logan and grabs Chloe some juice, before she joins Chloe and Logan in the living room and plays with them for a bit.
"Do you want to go to the park, Chloe?" Haley asks when she drinks the last bit of her coffee.
"Yay!" Chloe cheers.
"Okay, let's get you ready."
It doesn't take long for everyone to get ready. Haley grabs the stroller and helps Chloe in it, who's holding on to Bam-Bam tightly. Haley grabs the bag with the necessary things for Chloe before they leave the house and walk to the park.
…
There are several kids playing at the park and as soon as Haley takes Chloe out of the stroller, Chloe runs off to go and play. Haley sits down on one of the benches where Logan is sitting on, as they both watch Chloe play with other kids. Occasionally Chloe calls to Haley to come and help her and then she calls to Logan to look at what she's doing.
After spending a while at the park they head home again. Chloe sits in the stroller talking away about how much fun she had. When they reach home Haley heads into the kitchen to make some sandwiches and heat up some chicken soup for lunch.
After lunch Haley lets Chloe walk up the stairs herself for her nap, as she walks behind her to keep an eye on her while she holds onto Bam-Bam, while Logan sits down on the couch and watches tv.
"Is she asleep?" Logan asks as Haley comes back downstairs.
"Yes, she fell asleep pretty quickly." Haley answers as she sits down next to Logan on the couch.
They watch tv for a while, but Logan can't help but stare at Haley every now and then.
"What do you keep staring at?" Haley laughs as she catches Logan staring at her.
"You." Logan answers softly with a smile making Haley blush.
Logan smiles as he leans forward to capture Haley her lips with his own. He moves his left hand to cup her cheek as he deepens the kiss.
"What was that? Was that Chloe?" Haley asks in panic as she breaks the kiss.
"It was nothing. Chloe is upstairs sleeping." Logan answers as he caresses her cheek.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Hey, you know I have physical therapy again tomorrow, right?" Logan asks.
"Yeah."
"Well, maybe you could take over for your colleague and teach zumba. You and Chloe could wait for me and then we could go to the gym and I'll watch Chloe. Just like yesterday."
"Are you sure? You don't mind waiting that long?" Haley asks.
"No I don't mind. I know tomorrow and Friday I have physical therapy at 3 o'clock, and zumba is directly after that, so it would be perfect. I can try to make my appointments at the same time every week, so that way you can teach zumba three times a week. And if it's not possible then I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out with Chloe. I saw how much fun you had yesterday. You miss it, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do. I've been teaching several times a week for a year now. It's a lot of fun." Haley smiles.
"Well, then go call your work and tell them you're coming to work tomorrow afternoon." Logan answers, making Haley smile.
She grabs the phone and dials the number of her work and talks to her colleague for a few minutes.
"Erica was glad I can take over. She's been taking double classes for a few weeks now, so it's good for her to get a break. I'm excited." Haley smiles.
"Well that's good. I'm excited too."
"Why?" Haley asks confused.
"Because I get to watch you dance." Logan answers while he wiggles his eyebrows making Haley laugh and shake her head.
"Do you want something to drink?" Haley asks as she gets up while she's blushing brightly.
"Yes, some juice would be nice."
Just as Haley wants to head into the kitchen she sees Kendall's car pulling up the driveway.
"Kendall's coming. What do we tell him?" Haley asks a bit nervous.
"We could tell him the truth. If we ask him, he won't tell anyone. It's gonna be okay."
"Okay." Haley sighs as she heads to the front door.
"Hey Hales. How did it go last night?" Kendall asks with big grin.
"How do you think? What are you doing here?" Haley asks a bit annoyed as she walks back into the living room while Kendall closes the front door and follows her.
"I forgot my jacket last night and it has my wallet in it. I'm about to go to a late lunch with Angela, so that's why I stopped by to pick it up." Kendall answers.
"Hey Logan." He adds when he sees Logan sitting on the couch.
Haley is standing behind Kendall and is giving Logan a look that lets him know to play along. But other than that Logan and Haley stay silent and ignore each other.
"Seriously, you guys? I talked to you both separately, I left you alone to give you the chance to finally talk to each other without any interruptions and you still manage to screw it up? What is wrong with you? Why can't you tell the things you each told me last night to each other? Do I seriously need to cancel my date and sit you both down and force you to talk?" Kendall asks in disbelief as he grabs his phone from his pocket.
Logan and Haley stay quiet, but they are looking at each other and both have a big smile on their face. Since neither of them is saying anything, Kendall looks up from his phone.
"Wait a minute… something's going on here between the two of you! Okay, spil!" Kendall says as he looks back and forth between Logan and Haley.
"We did talk last night, for a few hours." Logan answers as he gets up and walks towards Haley.
"Okay, that's good. So how did it go?"
"Well, we both hurt each other, but we're moving on from everything and we're trying it again." Logan smiles as he places his left arm around Haley her back while Haley looks nervous and bites her lip.
"Really? That's awesome! I'm happy you got to work everything out!" Kendall smiles.
"Can you please keep it to yourself for now? You're the only one who knows and we want to see how it goes first before we tell everyone." Haley asks.
"Yeah, of course."
"Thank you. Also for helping us out. If you hadn't forced us to talk, we would still be ignoring each other and who knows how it would have ended." Logan answers.
"You're welcome. I'm glad I had a part in reuniting you two." Kendall smiles as he gives Logan a hug.
"You don't still hate me, do you?" Kendall asks Haley.
"Yes."
"I love you too." Kendall laughs as he gives her a hug.
"I love you and thank you." Haley answers softly.
"I better get going now, otherwise I'm gonna be late."
After Kendall leaves Haley heads upstairs to wake up Chloe from her nap so that they can go to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner.
…
The next morning Haley helps Logan again with getting cleaned up and dressed. Breakfast goes by without any problems. Haley is a bit nervous as later in the morning Logan's parents drop by to visit. She's scared that they will know what's going on between her and Logan, but luckily for her they don't.
After lunch, Haley takes Chloe upstairs for her nap and then changes into her zumba cargo pants, her zumba tanktop and her Health City Fitness sweatshirt and grabs her bag and puts a towel in there before she heads back downstairs to watch some tv with Logan until it's time to wake up Chloe.
After Chloe had her nap and Haley has gotten her ready, they all leave together and head to the physiotherapist.
"Can I go play mommy?" Chloe asks as she sees a young boy and girl playing in the play area.
"Sure sweetie, go ahead."
Just as Logan and Haley want to sit down, Logan's physiotherapist enters the waiting area and tells him he can come with him.
"It's a good thing they have a play area for the kids here." the woman sitting next to Haley tells her.
"Yes, it is. Are they both your kids?" Haley asks.
"Yes, my son Kaleb is four and a half years old and my daughter Eva just turned three."
"My daughter Chloe will turn three in October. I'm Haley Scott, by the way." Haley answers as she reaches out her hand.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Tiffany Hunter. My husband Christian is with his physiotherapist right now for his leg. Was that your husband who left with the other therapist?"
"Oh, Logan and I aren't married." Haley answers.
"Oh, my mistake."
"No, Logan and I uhm…" Haley answers a bit nervous.
"We were together, but we broke up and only recently we decided to start over. We haven't told anyone yet, because we want to see how it goes first." She continues.
"I see. Well, your secret is safe with me. We just moved to Wilmington a few weeks ago, so we don't really know anyone yet. We moved from Raleigh for Christian his work."
They continued to talk for a bit and discovered several things about each other. It turns out they only live about a mile away from each other.
"And that's when Maxi caused Christian to fall down the stairs. It was only our second day in our new house." Tiffany explained.
"Who is Maxi?"
"She's our Saint Bernard. She's almost a year old. We were all upstairs and Christian quickly wanted to run downstairs to get something and Maxi thought he wanted to play, so she ran after him. Even though she's not even a year old, she is already huge and she tried to pass him and that's when he fell down the stairs and got some bruises and broke his leg."
"Wow. That's something you don't hear every day. Luckily his injuries weren't worse." Haley answered.
"I know. How did Logan get his injury on his arm?"
"Well, he wasn't paying attention when he crossed the road and a car was coming and he got hit by it. He had some broken and bruised ribs, his right arm was broken and his shoulder was dislocated and the doctors had to repair both with surgery."
It doesn't take long before Logan and Christian are done with physio and they both come back in the waiting area at the same time.
"Christian, this is Haley and Haley, this is my husband Christian." Tiffany tells her.
"Nice to meet you. This is… my boyfriend, Logan." Haley tells them both.
Haley doesn't miss the big smile on Logan's face when she introduced him as her boyfriend. And she can't help but smile too, it felt good to say it.
When they are done introducing themselves to each other, they get interrupted by someone.
"Daddy, can stay here and play with Chloe?" Eva asks.
"We can't sweetie. We have to go back home and Chloe has to go too." Christian answers.
"Why don't you come over for dinner tomorrow? That way the kids can play together and we can get to know each other a bit more." Haley suggests.
"Okay, that sounds like a good idea." Tiffany smiles.
They exchange phone numbers before they all head out. Tiffanny, Christian and their kids head home as Haley, Logan and Chloe cross the street to go to the gym, where Haley teaches the zumba class and Logan is sitting on the side watching Haley, with Chloe sitting next to him and occasionally dancing along with Haley.
Later that night after dinner and when Chloe is sleeping upstairs in bed, Logan and Haley are sitting cozy together on the couch watching tv.
"I liked it when you introduced me as your boyfriend this afternoon." Logan softly says.
"It felt good to say it. Tiffany thought we were married, so I told her that we were together and broke up and just recently got back together but that no one knows it yet, because we want to see how it goes first. I didn't know what else to say and she said she wouldn't tell anyone."
"I missed hearing you call me your boyfriend."
"I missed saying it." Haley answers softly as she lifts her head up and softly kisses Logan.
…
The phone rings and Haley answers it.
"Hello", she says into the receiver.
"Hey, girl." It's her friend Valeria on the other line.
"How are you?"
Haley smiles, glad to have a chance to catch up with her friend since they haven't talked much in the past 3 weeks.
"Good, how about you? I miss talking to you!"
"Same. I miss you too! Things have been crazy at work. I feel like all I do is eat, sleep and work lately. So how are things with Logan? How is he doing?" Valeria asks.
"He's getting better. The medical supply company sent a letter about two weeks ago asking if Logan still needed the hospital bed so Logan and I talked about it. And since he's already been upstairs reading Chloe a bedtime story at night several times, we figured that he was well enough to start staying in the spare bedroom upstairs and Kendall helped me fix it up and get it ready for him, so Logan's been staying there for the past week and the hospital is gone. He's able to do a few more things now. His ribs are getting better, although he's still pretty much restricted from using his shoulder by himself since he's still stuck with the sling. He is improving though, with the help of physio. He's upstairs reading Chloe a bedtime story right now."
"Wow, that's good." Valeria responds.
"So what have you been up to?" she adds.
"I've been teaching zumba again." Haley tells her excitedly.
"Zumba is fun and I love getting to teach it. Even though I was only out for like a month, I still missed it. The good thing is that it coincides with when Logan goes to his physio appointments, so we all go together and wait for eachother, or we make other arrangements for Chloe because sometimes she gets a little bored and can't sit still. But she's amazing for a three year old. Oh I didn't tell you she has some new friends, did I?"
"No, you didn't. Tell me then." Valeria laughs.
"Oh girl, Chloe met a cute three year old girl named Eva and a cute four year old boy named Kaleb. We met them at the physio about three weeks ago. Their dad had an appointment and the kids hit it off right away. They came over for dinner the next day. They live about a mile away and they have had a few play dates since then, either at their house or ours, and sometimes their parents come as well. It's nice because she gets experience with other kids, and we have someone to chat to in the meantime."
"Aww, that's so good to hear. And how are things between you and Logan?" Valeria asks.
"Well, things have gotten a lot better. We're talking more and it has just improved a lot." Haley answers.
She hates keeping it from her friends and family, but she still thinks it's too early to tell others.
"I'm glad to hear that. I hate to do this, but I have to go and get things ready for work tomorrow." Valeria tells her.
"That's okay. We'll have to catch up soon. I love you."
"I love you too. Tell Logan and Chloe I said hi. Bye."
"I will. Bye." Haley answers as she hangs up the phone.
She wonders how long she can keep this up, it's getting harder and harder to keep it from everyone that she is back together with Logan.
So, what did you all think? I'm not too sure about the last part. But it has to do for now. I hope to be able to update soon. As well as Our Little Miracle. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and keep on the lookout, because I have a Christmas present coming for you!
Xoxo Eve
