Helloooooo, I've been on a roll lately!

In this chapter...Someone from the past returns...

Chapter 37: Carlos' POV

I was having a great day. Logan had taken the day off and was spending it with Laura and I. The three of us were on the couch watching a movie, Laura, napping between the two of us. She was so pooped out, after spending her day releasing energy.

"Today was nice," Logan commented.

"It was," I smiled. "You should have more days off."

"Then you would be the sole provider for this family," he commented.

"Speaking of which, I should get ready for work soon," I said.

Ethan never explained this, but I was still the police chief of the area. I stayed at home during the day to take care of Laura, and worked at night so that I could still keep my job and provide for my family.

"Can we talk about that really quickly?" Logan asked.

"What about it?" I asked.

"I get lonely at night without you," he frowned. "You come home at 3 and it worries me. And maybe I'm still adjusting because this is a fairly new thing, but is there a way for you to work during the day, just so I can see you more?"

Logan closed his eyes almost as if he was afraid of my reaction. I laughed. He opened his eyes.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because you're adorable," I said. "Trust me I understand and trust me when I say I miss you and Liam at night, but I'm doing this right now for Ethan. There isn't many people he trusts with Laura for some reason and he needs a babysitter."

"She could come with me to the hospital," Logan looked down at her smiling.

"You are not taking my grandbaby to that hospital, she would be so bored," I said.

"What about Kendall?" he asked.

"What about him?"

"Well he just wrapped his show, so he'll be home during the day now," Logan said. "You make your own schedule so he could just watch her during the day while you work. Ethan would be okay with that."

"You're right," I said. "I can make that happen."

"Or," he smiled. "I can switch to the night shift and that way we're both home during the day with her."

"You're forgetting someone," I laughed. "As nice at that also sounds."

"Who?"

"Um…Liam," I laughed. "Our youngest son, who needs someone here at night. And you could suggest Kendall and James, but we would never see him because he's at school during the day."

"Right," he said.

"I'll call Lucy," I said. "Ethan loves her and Laura knows her. I'll make it happen for me, but I also need to talk to Ethan about it."

"Okay," he said. "I'm sorry that I sound like a baby, I just miss you."

"I know," I leaned over and kissed him. "Ethan will understand."

I heard the door open and Liam walked in with Emma.

"Hey baby boy," Logan smiled at Liam, who jumped onto the couch next to him.

"Hi Pops, hi Dad," Liam said.

"How was school? What did you do?" I asked.

"Good," he said. "I got the award for the best blocks in the class."

"That's awesome," Logan smiled.

"I was wondering where you were today," Emma looked at Logan.

"I needed a day with my babes," Logan smiled.

"Okay ew Dad," she laughed.

At this point, Laura was waking up, looking around at everyone.

"Hi Liam and auntie Emmy," she said tiredly.

"Hey sweetie," Emma smiled at her.

"Laura, let's go get snacks," Liam pulled her hand.

Together the two ran into the kitchen.

"Thanks for picking him up from school Emmy," I said.

"Of course Pops," she sat next to me. "So, I need to talk to you two about something."

"Shoot," Dad said.

"I think I want to have a baby," she said quietly.

My heart sank. It was something about my only daughter wanting to have a baby that made me uneasy, but I had to remind myself that she was 23 years old and more than capable of making that own decision for herself. I liked her boyfriend Josh and he would be a good father.

"Okay," Logan said slowly. "What brought that on?"

"Josh and I both have good jobs," she said. "I always wanted to have my kids early on to avoid issues and I look at the bond that Laura and Ethan have and I want that with my own baby."

"That's understandable," I said. "I had never really thought about kids until we had Ethan and you and then I realized that I loved that feeling and wanted more."

"Do you plan to marry Josh?" Logan asked. "I just want you to be sure that you love him before you have a baby with him, married or not."

"I do love him," she said. "And I do want to marry him, it's just a thought that wouldn't go away. I wanted to get some thoughts from you guys."

"Go for it," I said. "If you love each other, then do it. Try to get married first though and sleep on it."

"I agree, it's amazing to me that you even talked to us about it seeing that you're 23," Logan chuckled.

"I just wanted to get someone else's thought on the situation," she shrugged. "You two really know how to help. Which is why I came to you, 23 years later!"

"I'm trying my best to not like be all super papi and hide you from everything, but you're doing everything right, so I can't complain," I said.

"Thanks Pops," she hugged me. "I know that was hard for you."

I only nodded in response.

"Anyway, I'm going to head home so I can make some dinner," she stood up.

"Alright Emmy, thanks again," Logan said.

"No problem. Bye Liam! Bye Laura!" Emma yelled.

"Bye!" they both yelled from the kitchen.

With that, she was gone.

"I'm going to go check on them and make sure they aren't making messes," Logan kissed my cheek before going into the kitchen.

I started to head upstairs, so that I could get ready for work, but the doorbell ring.

"I got it!" I yelled so that Logan can hear.

I turned around and walked towards the door. I swung the door open, expecting Ethan.

"Ethan, are you missing your key to-" I stopped when I looked and realized who it was.

"Hi, Mr. Mitchell," he said nervously.

"Luke," I said, trying not to sound surprised. "Hey."

Okay, this was weird. Luke was Laura's other father and he abandoned Ethan over 4 years ago because he made this girl that he cheated with pregnant.

"I thought you were in Long Island," I said.

"I moved back to LA," he shrugged. "I missed it here."

"So, why exactly are you here?" I asked, not trying to sound rude.

I was upset with what he did, but I didn't hate him.

"I need to talk to Ethan," he said.

"Well, he doesn't live here anymore," I chuckled. "He is 24 now. I don't know if it's a good idea for me to tell you where to go without talking to him first."

"I messed up, and I know he doesn't want anything to do with me, but I need to apologize and at least make things right," he said. "For Laura, especially."

"Grandpa Los, Grandpa Logie told me to come ask you for a cookie," Laura ran up to me.

She stopped, turning to look at Luke, who's eyes filled with so much joy.

"Hi Laura," he said cautiously, with a smile.

Laura grabbed my arm, pulling me down to her level.

"That's my daddy," she whispered into my ear.

"I know he is," I laughed. "Listen, go grab a cookie and I'll be in there in a minute."

"She remembered me," he said happily.

"Of course she does," I smiled. "Not only were you around enough to be remembered, but she wanted to see pictures of you, so Ethan shows her a picture every time she asks. She asks me about you all of the time."

"That's incredible," he said.

"Listen, I can talk to Ethan, but I don't know how he'll react," I said truthfully. "I understand you miss them and want to be with Laura, but I don't really don't to get involved."

"I understand," he turned to walk away.

"But where he works is common knowledge and I have no problem telling you that…"

He stopped, turning back and giving me a smile.

I'm excited!

Question: Will Luke go to Ethan? How will he react?
