Chapter 11: Surprises
December 22, 2011- 4:15 p.m.
James and Kendall were just finishing making the dinner when Logan had trotted into the kitchen happily. He grinned at the meal, and took his seat on a stool. James paused for a moment to look at the child. Logan looked almost unrecognizable for a minute. He wasn't the same quiet boy he had been when James had first met him. Of course, he was still frightened of many things and many people, because it would take more than a few weeks to get Logan past his abuse. That was certain.
But yet, Logan had changed. He had opened up to James and Kendall and provided happiness not only for them but also for himself. He spoke more now than he ever had before. Logan didn't have that sad look in his eyes anymore, instead curiosity and eagerness was shown. It brought warmth to James' chest and a smile on his face. He knew now why Logan was so special.
He was falling in love with Logan, as if he was his son.
James knew he shouldn't have grown so attached; after all, they were only fostering Logan. He would eventually leave. But James couldn't help it. The damage was done.
Kendall handed Logan his anxiety pill, with a smile and glass of water. He gently asked the boy if he would please take it, and Logan took his pill without a complaint.
"Hey, Christmas is in three days," James said suddenly when he glimpsed at the calendar. He sat down with their dinner as Logan began to dig in. "Which means Santa Claus is coming soon." James hid a smile when he saw Logan's face immediately brighten on the holiday legend. Logan looked up with a grin that would put the sun to shame at the name.
"Santa?"
"Oh yes, Santa is watching." Kendall chimed in. "Which means he's watching for if you've been a good boy and what you want for Christmas." He said, watching as Logan's face scrunched up in confusion and thought.
"What do you want for Christmas?" James asked, getting a knowing look from his fiancé. Christmas was literally just around the corner and they had yet to get any gifts yet. Time was running out for the two.
"I already sent Santa my letter." Logan said with a shrug. James smiled with a dry swallow, remembering exactly what Logan had written in that letter. He shrugged the thought off.
"Oh yes. Did you ask for any toys that you want?" James feigned innocence. Again Logan looked at James with confusion.
"Um…no. I've never asked for toys." Logan said quietly. Kendall and James could feel their hearts constricting at Logan's words. "I've never really put much thought into what I've wanted like that." Logan murmured.
"Well, are there any toys you like? Or maybe games? Or even some books?" Kendall suggested, trying to help Logan come up with something. Logan blinked and thought to himself. He shrugged at Kendall.
"I don't know. I haven't looked. I love books and games to play." He said and that was the end of it. He couldn't come up with a better answer and he went back to his dinner. James and Kendall shared one more look and they were already on the same page.
They knew what to get.
December 24, 2011- 12:45 a.m.
Snow. Actual snow. As in, cold, white and fluffy snow. That was what Kendall, James and Logan had woken up on the Eve of Christmas. In normally sunny Los Angeles, clouds headed above with gentle snowflakes falling in a flurry down to the ground. It looked as if it had been snowing all night, with at least three inches of snow covering the ground in a white blanket. The snow was slowing down, but it was still falling as they looked outside.
James and Kendall had breathed in surprise at the snow. They hadn't had snow in almost four years in Los Angeles. Kendall had grown up on the ice and around snow, and even James had grown up with white Christmas's and cold. So the surprise of this snow fall on Christmas Eve seemed just shy of a miracle.
As for Logan, it brought pure joy to the little brunette. Having lived in Minnesota for five years, Logan was used to the snow and cold being often. When he was very young he had found snow to be magical, but as the years went by the snow seemed less and less magical. That is, until today with this snowfall.
He jumped up and down excitedly and asked if they could play outside. James had decided to wait and see if the snow would stop falling before they went out to play. The three had decided to bake Christmas cookies for Santa Claus and tomorrow, while they waited for the snow to stop falling.
"Okay, now this time we are not going to make a mess, right?" James asked hotly, at Logan and Kendall who both shared a look of sheepish smiles. James had been hesitant at first, in fear that his hair and clothes would once again be ruined by the mess of baking. But finally Kendall had convinced James to do it, by promising there would be no more sweet wars. Logan had giggled upon seeing James' wary face as Kendall tried to convince him in the beginning.
With a grin, James set off to gather supplies while Kendall began to show Logan what to do. Sadly, a mess was not avoided. It was impossible for these three to not make a mess. James was pleased, though, that it was not a large mess at all. It was simply a small one that happened to anyone who baked cookies. And better yet, it didn't get in James' hair or clothes.
James had to scold Kendall and Logan on multiple accounts for stealing raw cookie dough from the mixing bowl, as if he were their mother. He'd actually slapped a wooden spoon down onto Kendall's fingers when the male reached for more cookie dough. A wooden spoon.
When the cookies had finally been made and taken out of the oven to cool, the three had two dozen holiday cookies, which smelled heavenly and filled the house with a Christmas aroma. James had looked out the back window to see the snow had stopped falling while they were been baking, and now fresh snow was waiting on the ground, just begging to be played in.
Logan had become giddier at that news.
"How about we go sledding, down at the park? There's that really big hill?" James suggested. He looked out side to see a good six inches of hard snow. Perfect for sledding on. Kendall looked joyful and excited at the idea of sledding, while Logan looked curious.
He had never been sledding before, but back at the orphanage he had heard other kids talk about going sledding when the soft snow had come down. He'd be interested in trying it, since the beginning of the snow season in Minnesota back in early October.
"Yeah, that sounds awesome!" Kendall exclaimed happily while Logan nodded curiously. A tiny smile graced his pink lips and James grinned. He clapped his hands and ordered everyone to dress warmly for the weather outside. Luckily, James and Kendall never got rid of their old winter jackets, and that Logan had his coat from Minnesota.
James was wearing his warm jacket, with gloves and his favorite grey scarf, while Kendall had his jacket on and his usual black beanie on top of his head with fingerless gloves on. James had helped Logan into his own coat, while Kendall placed a scarf around his neck. Logan had been given mittens for his hand, and a smaller blue beanie to put on his own head. James had fussed for a few moments, making sure Logan was completely warm. Logan hadn't made a single complaint about James' fuss, being patient and secretly enjoying the attention.
"Come on James. It's going to be dark, by the time you finish and Logan's not going to be able to move if you put anything else on him." Kendall rolled his eyes causing Logan to giggle. James huffed in annoyance but finally stood up.
"I'm just making sure he's warm." He muttered, grabbing his keys. Kendall snickered but took Logan's hand and headed for the garage. While James began to warm the car, Kendall pulled the two old wooden sleds he had kept on a high rack on the ceiling. He opened the back to place the sleds in the car, just as Logan was buckling himself in.
With more excitement than ever before, Kendall jumped into the passenger seat and eagerly waited to arrive. James couldn't tell who was more excited: Logan or Kendall. It took less than five minutes to drive to the snow covered park and hill, and James noticed they were the only ones at the park.
Perfect.
The two adults were out of the car first, and each grabbed a sled while Logan waited by his door. He grabbed both Kendall and James' free hands, and allowed him to be guided towards the hill. His heart was beating fast in anticipation and he squeezed James and Kendall's hands tighter. The two looked down in comfort and squeezed back. Finally they were at the top of the hill.
"So, are you ready?" Kendall grinned childishly down at Logan. Logan smiled weakly and swallowed.
"Um…what do we do? I've never been sledding before." He whispered. Kendall ignored the ache in his heart and knelt down with his sled.
"Here I'll show you. It's really fun actually." He said gently. Logan followed Kendall, still holding tightly to James' hand, as Kendall placed the sled down and sat himself onto it. His feet were rested along the two red bars in the front, and the rope was held tightly into his hands. "So these red bars here, are for your feet. That way your feet won't drag in the snow and slow you down. They can also help you to steer the sled. Now this rope – it's very important you see. It's like the steering wheel of a car got it?" At Logan's nod, Kendall went on. "You use it to steer and guide you. You tug and pull on the rope, while pressing on the bar with one foot on what direction you want to go. Like if you want to go right, you tug on the rope and push more down with your right foot. And vice versa for if you want to go left."
Logan nodded seeming to understand the idea. It seemed simple.
"Alright now, show him how it's done." James grinned mischievously before pushing on Kendall's back with his foot. The sled was pushed forward quickly, and was descending down the hill. Kendall scrambled to grab the rope and steering, just as the sled picked up speed and was soaring down the hill.
Logan watched in amazement with wide eyes, as Kendall raced down the snowy hill, laughing and yelling into the wind. When the male and sled finally stopped at the very bottom of the hill James laughed.
"Alright, now you try Logan." James said softly. "Just do exactly what Kendall said and did, and you'll be good." He encouraged lightly, nudging Logan to the other sled. Logan bit his lip in hesitation, and glanced over at the open sled then back to Kendall. He twiddled with his fingers before looking up at James innocently.
"Will you ride with me? I don't wanna go by myself." Logan's face flushed as he asked James quietly. He stood in his spot, not moving when James smiled. James gently tugged on Logan's hand and led him over to the sled.
"Of course I will go with you." He said with a smile. He looked down at the sled. Logan was small, so he should be able to fit with someone with his own height. James set himself onto the sled, pushing his feet up and wider and grabbed the rope. He patted the empty space between his legs in front of him.
Logan didn't need to be told twice. He scrambled onto the sled with a bright grin, nestling himself in front of James. His little feet perfectly just in between James' own. James handed the end of the rope to Logan, but still held onto the sides.
"Alright, you steer us. And I'll get us going, okay?" James asked. Logan swallowed thickly and nodded nervously at James. He was nervous about his first time doing something like this, but yet he couldn't help being excited at the same time. "Are you ready?" Logan blinked and took a breath to calm his nerves, and then slowly he nodded.
At first, nothing happened. Logan could feel they were moving, but it was at an extremely slow pace. Nothing like Kendall. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
Then, Logan was proved to be wrong.
In the nest split second, the sled had dropped and the speed picked up dramatically. Logan watched as they were suddenly and very quickly heading down the hill. The wind whipped in his face, biting at his rosy cheeks as their speed continued to increase.
He squealed in surprise and jerked into James when the speed had suddenly increased. But his nerves had calmed, when he heard James laughing and hollering over the wind. Logan could feel his own smile and laugh build as they continued to race down the hill. He felt as if he were soaring with greet speed, across the snowy lands.
He didn't see the rock in front of them.
The sled suddenly hit the rock, and control was beginning to get lost. Logan panicked when the sled jerked and they were turning. He could hear James' laughter cease and panic flooded through his body. The sled was still bolting down at great speeds but Logan couldn't figure how to turn. His heart and mind raced and his eyes widened in panic.
He couldn't turn! He couldn't turn!
In the midst of panic, Logan could feel James trying to gain control of the sled and moving his feet but it was too late. Suddenly, the sled tipped over and dumped Logan and James into the chilly snow. Logan could feel himself being thrown off the sled and launched into the snow. He felt James being thrown, before he could no longer hear or feel James and he landed face first into the snow.
X.X.X.X
Logan blinked when his vision was black, and for a split second he wanted to scream. That's when he suddenly felt the icy cold. He pushed forward with his hands, to feel them sink into snow, and he raised his head up.
His vision became lighter and he could finally see around him, now that he wasn't face down into the snow. Packs of snow stuck to his cheeks, nose and forehead as he blinked to look around. He was covered in snow, but luckily he had not gotten deep into the hard snow. Actually, the snow had cushioned his landing. He tried shaking his head to be rid of as much snow as he could.
His mind was momentarily dazed and confused as he looked across the white landscape. He could see the tipped sled lying to his right in the snow. He could see the back of James' jacket, noticing the adult was frantically looking.
And suddenly Logan felt tingly on the inside. His fingers twitch, and his heart beat with warmth when a laugh bubbled into his throat. Then, he was laughing to himself. The adrenaline and excitement had kicked him and he continued to laugh.
That had been fun. He had, had fun.
James spun around quickly, panic etching in his face when he confused Logan's laughter for sobs. He raced to the little boy, kneeling in the snow to finally see his face. Kendall had reached them finally and was doing the same.
But Logan continued to laugh.
"Logan I am so sorry! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" James asked frantically, searching for any signs of injury. Much to their surprise, Logan graced them with a wide smile and bubbling laughter.
"T-that was…that was fun!" Logan cried and waved his hands into the air. James and Kendall breathed a sigh of relief before joining in with Logan.
Logan had been much less hesitant in going down the next few times on the sled. Of course, he always went down with either Kendall or James. Whoever wasn't on the sled with Logan was attempting to race the other two on the second sled. It seemed every time, Kendall was the fastest. Whether he was alone or with Logan. James had claimed his was a cheater on multiple accounts, to which Kendall shamelessly denied.
At one point Logan, Kendall and James had tried to go down on one sled together. The three of them had made it ten feet down the hill before the sled completely flipped over from uneven weight, dumping the three in the snow. But this time Logan was prepared, and caused himself to fall on his back. But he continued to laugh and laugh with Kendall and James.
After this, Kendall coaxed Logan in trying to go down on the sled by himself. Logan had been terrified at first, and it took many words of comfort and encouragement, but finally Logan agreed. He'd gotten on the sled all by himself and Kendall had gotten in the other. He promised Logan he would ride, right next to him. Then the two were off, down the hill. Logan had been clutching the rope tightly, to the point of his knuckles turning white. But his sled remained straight all the way down the hill, and there was no need to use the rope thankfully.
Logan had actually beaten Kendall down the hill, which had finally stopped all his nerves. Kendall demanded a rematch and Logan happily complied. Once again, Kendall was beaten by Logan.
After the second run, Kendall announced he had to leave. He claimed the coach had called and requested him to meet with him. Logan looked disappointed but Kendall told the little boy, to continue and ride with James. James smiled knowingly and nodded to his fiancé as Kendall headed into the car.
Kendall had lied. What he was really doing, was heading home to wrap all of their presents, and Logan's presents for tomorrow.
For the next two hours, James and Logan raced one another down the hill or rode together trying to swerve and zigzag down the hill. After both were exhausted, they continued to make snow angels in the ground and built a miniature snowman. Logan had named the snowman, "Frosty" and attempted to give him his hat. Luckily, James said Frosty would want Logan to keep his hat so he could stay warm.
It was after all that, did the snowball fight actually begin. Logan had seen many of the other kids at the orphanage engage in snowball fights before, and knew what to do. James did have to help him make snowballs and show him how to build them, but when Logan finally had enough he fired on James.
James ran to his own fort of snow and quickly made his own balls, while avoiding Logan's surprisingly good aim. The two of them engaged in a war, firing and running and building for an entire hour before Logan yawn and fall back exhausted.
He was tired, beyond tired really, but he wouldn't have traded today for anything else. His heart was content and a smile was warming his face when James picked him up. Today had truly been one of the best days of his life.
When James and Logan returned home by walking home for ten minutes, Kendall had wrapped and hidden every single presents and had prepared a wondrous meal with Reginald. A meal of smoke salmon, and mashed potatoes with grilled and buttered shrimp. There were also steamed vegetables, and rice with gravy and butter. It was the biggest meal Logan had ever eaten.
By the time dinner was over, Logan was ready to pass out in a sleep coma, and was barely able to keep on his feet. He had already taken his inhaler (twice, because of playing in the snow and being active) and his anxiety medicine. He kept nodding off tiredly, yawning and shaking his head and an attempt to stay awake. He had to make sure, enough cookies and milk were being left for Santa.
Logan had also placed a green envelope by the cookies and milk, telling James and Kendall it was for Santa. And only for Santa.
James and Kendall smiled at the sleepy brunette, before Kendall pulled Logan into his arms. Logan yawned tiredly and snuggled contently into Kendall's warm chest. His eyes fluttered closed as sleep pulled him down and unconsciousness took him.
December 25, 2011- 7:00 a.m.
When Logan first woke up he had fallen back asleep, unaware of the date. It had taken him three more times to wake up, before he realized what today was. It was Christmas Day! Christmas had finally come.
He noticed how early it was and listened to find he was the first one up. He swallowed nervously about what today may look like, but his heart was hammering with excitement. The excitement jittered his bones and tingled his body, as he tried to lie in bed patiently. It would be rude to wake Kenny and Jamie.
But the excitement of the day, and being only a child, had overcome his politeness and nerves. His childish excitement had filled his body and he was suddenly flinging the covers off him and scrambling out of bed. His pajama covered feet padded against the floor as he ran out of his room to open James and Kendall's door. He reached up, standing on his tip, tippy-toes to turn the knob of the door. Logan concentrated on reaching, sticking his little pink tongue out.
Aha!
When the knob finally turned, and the door open, Logan pushed himself excitedly into the room. There still in bed, was a sleeping James and a sleeping Kendall. They were snuggled up against each other, arms wrapped loosely around each other, oblivious to Logan as they slept on.
Logan grinned and momentarily debated whether he should let them sleep. But the inner young child that wanted his first Christmas overcame the polite feeling. And he was suddenly racing over to the bed of his foster parents. He tugged on the cover, trying to climb up on the bed. Only to fail and he was unable to reach and climb up. Logan continued to tug on the cover, and attempt to climb as he began to whine.
"Kendall! James! Wake up! It's Christmas!" He whined. He felt someone shift in the bed, and then a yawn.
"What? What time is it?" James asked sleepily, raising his head from Kendall's chest. The blonde stirred and groaned from being awake. James blinked sleepily, and spot fluffy, brown hair poking up from the edge of his bed. A groggy smile, whipped across his face.
"Doesn't matter. Wake up! It's Christmas!" Logan whined again and attempted once more to climb the bed. He could hear Kendall's groan and James' sleepy chuckling. They were awake! "Come on! You gotta ge' up! Come on!" Logan begged with a pout. He was suddenly lifted up from behind and carried onto the bed. Logan scrambled to his feet to see James had picked him up. Gratefully, he began to jump on the bed.
"Come on you guys! Stop sleep. It's Christmas you guys!" He cried excitedly still jumping. Even though they were somewhat still tired, James and Kendall had to grin brightly at the sight of Logan's new excitement and joyful personality. How could anyone hurt him?
"Are you sure?" Kendall mumbled sleepily, turning so his back was facing Logan. He hid a smile into his pillow. "I think it's too early. It can't be Christmas."
"You're right." James grinned, deciding to play along. "I'm too tired. I think we should just sleep all day." To prove his point, he buried himself under his covers. Logan stopped in jumping to gasp loudly at the two.
"No! You can't sleep all day! You'll miss Christmas!" Logan whined and jumped towards Kendall and James' faces. Kendall only grinned further.
"I don't know, I think James is right. We should just sleep." He murmured trying to hold in his laughter.
"No! Wake up! Wake up!" Logan continued to whine. And only when he began to shake Kendall's shoulder did James and Kendall spring into action. Kendall had pulled the child down onto his back, holding him tightly, as James danced across Logan with tickling fingers. The child screeched in laughter, trying to squirm away from the tickling fingers but Kendall had a firm grip.
James continued to tickle Logan, listening to the joyful screeches of laughter Logan was emitting. When the pale child's face turned pink, James stopped to allow the giggling boy to catch his breath.
"Alright. Alright. Let's get up and head downstairs." James announced. Logan beamed and bolted from the bed and out the door, faster than James and Kendall had ever seen. The two shared a content smile at Logan's happiness before heading downstairs.
They had made Logan happy.
X.X.X.X
Once Logan had reached the living room in the downstairs he glanced out the window to see it was beginning to snow once more. His eyes sparked at the magical sight of snowfall on Christmas, before looking at the tree.
When his mouth dropped open.
For under the tree, were a pile of presents. Not one or two or even a few, but many presents all under the tree, littering the floor. Some were big, some were small. Some were square or rectangle or even oddly shaped. Never before had Logan seen so many gifts. He edged closer to the sea of gifts only to gasp in shock.
There, on many of the gifts, was Logan's name, written across the wrapping paper. Some of these gifts were for Logan. And Logan was in shock. He'd gotten gifts? Him? But how?
His wide eyes, roamed across the many gifts with his name on it, and even some with Kendall's or James' name. To his surprise also, a stocking was hanging on the fireplace with Logan's name on it. And the stocking was full.
Logan gasped again, looking around widely when Kendall and James finally emerged into the room. His wide eyes snapped to Kendall and James who both smiled at the child.
"Merry Christmas Logie." The boy said. And that was enough for Logan.
The little boy rushed across the room, before leaping into James' arms. The surprised adult grabbed Logan quickly before twirling the little boy around. Logan giggled and buried himself into James' chest as Kendall wrapped his own arms around the two.
"Merry Christmas James and Kendall." He whispered. Kendall and James held on for a few minutes longer before setting Logan on the ground.
"Well, you have presents to open. Shall we get started?" James asked. Logan nodded happily and ran back to the pile of gifts. He smiled when he noticed the cookies and milk were gone, along with the green envelope. He had come!
"Alright Logan, go ahead and pick whatever gift you want." Kendall said as he seated himself on the couch, pulling James onto his lap. James sighed happily and leaned his head back onto Kendall. Logan grabbed the first gift he could find with his name on it and set it aside. He scanned the pile and pulled up two more gifts.
Then, he handed Kendall and James the gifts who frowned. They noticed their names were on them.
"We all get to open one! Together!" Logan beamed. James grinned back as did Kendall, before all three were ripping off the wrapping paper of their gifts.
James smiled to himself, upon seeing upon seeing his gift was a magazine that had the first ever article of him for his music career, when he was just an aspiring young adult, trying to be noticed. It was nearly four years ago, when this article had gone out, and was special to James. It was a signal that his career was going to begin and that music was what he should do. The article wasn't around anymore now that James was famous, and Kendall had always said that had been his favorite article.
While Logan wasn't looking, James gave Kendall and loving look who winked back. Kendall smiled at his own gift, which was a jersey signed by his favorite hockey player from the New York Islanders.
"Wow!" Logan's cry had pulled James and Kendall out of their trance, and the two saw Logan staring in amazement at the toy sklydascope and telescope in his hands. He grinned and looked through each scope with a giggle and breath of astonishment. "These are so cool!" He cried.
Then, the doorbell rang.
James and Logan both frowned and looked up, but Kendall grinned. He stood up and headed to the door ignoring, his confused fiancé and foster-son.
"I hope you don't mind. I invited the team and all for Christmas." He called and James and Logan both smiled brightly.
Kendall opened the door and was greeted with most of his team, and coach along with their wives. Those on the team who had plans, or a family of their own had already wished Kendall a 'Merry Christmas' and left a gift. Kendall welcome his friends and ushered them all in. Many helped to hang up their coats and weather wear, to reveal everyone was wearing their pajamas. Just like Kendall, James and Logan.
Carlos was the first to rush into the living room to greet James with a 'bro hug". Logan, upon seeing Carlos, brightened happily and jumped into Carlos' arms. He laughed and hugged his new friend as the team piled into the room to greet James and Logan.
Ever since meeting the team four days ago, Logan had gotten a bit closer to all of them, especially Carlos and Camille, and was no longer too shy around them. They were kind and good to Logan, which allowed him to open up more to them.
"Hey, there kiddo! Merry Christmas!" Carlos laughed and held Logan on his lip. He looked at all the gifts. "Wow, it looks like you did good this year! Look at all those gifts!" He cried and Logan giggled.
"They're not all mine! Some are Kendall's and James'!" Logan protested with a crooked grin. Carlos chuckled and poked Logan's small, pink nose.
"Like how many? Two?" Carlos teased and Logan laughed again. He was set down on the ground to be engulfed in hugs and hello's by the rest of the team. Kendall and James had snuck away for a moment and now returned with many more gifts.
"These," Kendall emphasized and set the pile of gifts down with James. "Are for each of you. Everyone on the team has one gift here." He grinned. His entire team smiled at their captains and his fiancé's generosity. Logan cheered and commanded everyone to come into the living room. The team had piled in while James stood with Logan.
"Hey Logie. How would you like to be Santa today?" James asked, and Logan gasped in shock.
X.X.X.X
The team's entire excited chatter had stop immediately when Logan entered the living room. For the small child, was wearing a Santa suit. He had a red Christmas hat on his head, which hung a bit to the side. He was wearing a slightly too big, red coat with a black belt tightly around his waist over his red pants. His feet were still in his pajama covered covers, but he looked like an adorable little Santa Claus. Kendall and James each had their own red hats on and were holding the piles of gifts for the team.
Kendall whispered something in Logan's ear and handed him a gift. He smiled and skipped happily to where Carlos and Camille were seated by the fireplace. Logan grinned again and handed them the gift.
"For Carlos and Camille, from Santa." Logan said and headed back to James and Kendall. This continued for the next half hour. Kendall would whisper something to Logan and either he or James would hand Logan a gift. From there, Logan would shyly hand the gift to a player on the team with a smile, repeating what he said to Carlos and Camille. Only with the players name and their wife's name if they had one.
When each player had a gift, Kendall handed one from under the tree to Logan and James while grabbing his own. He smiled softly, looking around the room as the chatter picked up and the presents were ripped open.
But his favorite sight was that of Logan sitting in James' lap, smiles etched into both faces with pure love, as they ripped open their gifts in excitement.
His family.
Okay I'm going to end it there. It's longer than I anticipated and if I kept going it would be much, much too long. Haha. But I'm going to finish the Christmas Day in the next chapter, along with Logan and Kendall going to an LA King's practice. Time for some Kendall and Logan bonding! Yay!
