Ch.2

The shopping was all done, and there was a lot of shopping that had been done. Jason, Courtney, Matt, Caroline, Sonny, Carly, and Adella sat in the Morgan family living room waiting for the college kids and Lo to get into the room.

Jason: Where's Logan?

Courtney: No idea

Caroline: She was on the phone with some boy the last time I saw her

Jason: What boy?

Matthew: Probably her boyfriend of the week who I'm going to have to beat up…

Jason: Wait, what? She has a boyfriend?

Adella: No she doesn't

Jason: Don't lie to me Adella

Adella: I'm not Uncle Jason. She doesn't have a boyfriend. Actually, I have no idea who Lo is on the phone with.

Logan appeared at the top of the stairs and shut her flip phone.

Logan: I'm sorry were you talking about me?

Sonny: Yeah, who were you on the phone with?

Logan: My friend

Jason: Named?

Logan: Hold on, what's with the 20 questions?

Jason: Just answer it. Who were you on the phone with?

Lucky for Lo, the door swung open to reveal some of PCU's brightest, richest, and most gorgeous. JJ came in first, followed my Michael, Morgan, Kristina, and Emme.

"Hey everyone" greeted JJ

"Hey guys" Courtney said back before giving Jason a look which meant "drop it". Jason reluctantly nodded his head signaling that he understood then got up to greet his son, daughter, nephews, and niece. As everyone got up to say hi to one another, Sonny wrapped his arm around Lo's shoulder then told her

"Don't think we're done with this Logan" with one of his signature smiles plastered on his face so that Courtney wouldn't know what he was saying to her.

"Of course not Uncle Sonny, but I'm warning you, there's nothing to talk about" Logan casually told him while also giving a huge grin like her Uncle's and for the same reason as him. She really was a mini Sonny and Carly when it came to stuff like this.

"I'll be the judge of that my baby niece" Sonny said as he hugged her. "Remember, I know every thing you, and your siblings, and your cousins do. And since you're the youngest-"

"By 4 minutes and 12 seconds!"

"I was going to say since you're the youngest, along with Adella, I especially know what you two do. Are we clear Logan?"

"Crystal"

"Good. Now go say hi to your siblings and cousins." He said as he pushed her forward. Jason came over to Sonny as he saw Logan walking away

"Get anything out of her?" Jason questioned

"No, because she says there's nothing to find out. I told her I'd be the judge of that and that I know everything she does, but it didn't seem to faze her. "

"She's spending too much time with Carly" Jason told Sonny

"Ha, yeah, those two sure are a lot alike. But Courtney's got that in her too. Courtney, Carly, and little Logan seem to be the only ones not affected by our warnings." Sonny announced mystified by how it was true.

"Try living with two of them" Jason said sarcastically

"Carly's enough thanks"

"What's that boys?" Carly asked as she and Courtney made their ways over.

"Nothing sweetheart" Sonny told his wife before giving her a kiss while Jason wrapped his arms around his own wife. The couples were off in their own little world until Emme finally spoke up

"So you haven't seen us for how long? But do you come and talk with us and see how the college life is? No, you just stay over there in your own little kissy-face world. At least Mom, Dad, and Aunt Carly came over to say hi, but you Uncle Sonny don't even do that. Maybe I'll just go back to PCU right now…" Emme said as she walked towards the door. But Sonny playfully grabbed her arm, spun her around, and pulled her into a bear hug

"Now that's more like it"

"Hey, do I just get the shaft?" Kristina pouted

"Never, I missed all of you guys" Sonny told her as he pulled her into a hug just like he did to Emme. "Even the tough guys over there in the corner" Sonny said while pointing to Michael, Morgan, and JJ.

"Alright, alright, let's go eat everyone" Courtney announced

Dinner went fine; everyone was laughing and having a fun time. Jason and Sonny decided to wait until the end of dinner to announce the business situation… too bad it was now the end of dinner

Jason: Everyone, Sonny and I have something we need to discuss with you guys

Logan: Oh My G-d you're getting a divorce!

Jason: ha, ha, ha… no. Business is starting to heat up. So everyone is going to have to be a lot more careful.

Sonny: Everyone will also get their own guard again

Caroline: What? Isn't that a little extreme if nothing's even happened yet?

Jason: We don't want to have to wait that long

Adella: Will we need them all day or just at night?

Sonny: 24/7

Logan: Who's going to attack us in broad daylight? That's ridiculous!

Courtney: Watch your voice Logan

Logan: Mom, please… help me out here

Courtney: I wish I could, but if your dad and uncle think this is what it is best then I have to trust that and so does everyone else in this family, including you Lo

Jason: This isn't a punishment; in fact it will be better for all of you in the end

Emme: Look, I'll take the guard, whatever, but the guard being with us 24/7, does that include that they're with us on dates?

Jason and Sonny: ASBOLUTELY!

JJ: How long will we have them?

Jason: Until things die down. It won't be forever

Logan: But it will feel like it

Adella: It won't be that bad Lo. We've had them before.

Matthew: Yeah, but that was before boys

Jason: Well, then this guard thing just has perfect timing. No boys for any girl with the last name of Morgan or Corinthos. Got that?

Logan: Whatever you say Daddy

Dinner ended and everyone went into the living room to catch up with one another. Everyone except Logan and Adella that is, since Adella was rushed upstairs by Lo. The best friends sat in Lo's room and began to talk.

Adella: Ok, so why are we up here? The family's going to notice we're gone

Logan: Well, do you want to know who I was on the phone with?

Adella: YES!

Logan: Ethan Alcazar

Adella: What? Why?

Logan: He was asking me out on a date

Adella: Well you said no right?

Logan: Why would I do that? Ethan is like, the hottest guy in our school.

Adella: Did you forget what his last name is? Alcazar and Corinthos/Morgan don't usually mix well. Our dads will kill you if they find out

Logan: First off, Ethan's dad has been out of town for years now. Ethan lives with his older brother Diego, and second, who says they have to find out?

Adella: Lo, they find out everything. And how would you even get out of the house without one of 2 parents who find out everything, 1 aunt and 1 uncle who find out everything, plus 4 older siblings and 3 older cousins who find out everything, finding out everything?

Logan: I never said everyone couldn't know. We'll get Emme and Caroline to help. I've helped them plenty of times when they wanted to sneak out on dates, now its time for them to return the favor. Well, actually only Caroline. Emme's too much of a good girl to sneak out.

Adella: Well I think you should take a page out of Em's book. I'm warning you, it's not going to work. None of your plans ever work Logan Anne Morgan. Not one. You're just like my mom, which means I'm just like your mom because she always gets pulled into my moms crazy plans, like I get pulled into yours

Logan: My plan will work, just wait and see

Jason: And what plan is that?

The girls turned around, surprised to see Jason at the door. Adella shot Lo a look meaning "I told you so" while Lo shot back a look saying "I know, now shut up about it"

"Hey Daddy" Lo calmly said

"Hello Logan. Now what is this plan that will work?

"A plan to let Uncle Sonny buy Adella a dress she's been looking at. He says it's too short, but it's really not. My plan was to talk with Uncle Sonny, but Adella told me it wouldn't work because he never budges, and this time won't be any different especially after seeing Caroline in that skirt this morning."

"She's good" thought Adella.

"Alright, well come downstairs for desert" Jason told them, still a little skeptic though.

"Ooh what did my dad make this time?" questioned Adella

"Actually, Emme made it"

"And we're actually going to eat it? Must I remind you of the chocolate cake disaster of '05? Emme can't cook; she is your daughter after all"

"Yeah, I know. That's why I bought an extra cake"

"You are the best Dad!"

"Yeah, you're the best Uncle Jason".

"Thanks girls. Now let's go"

The girls walked out with Adella giving a small kick to Logan. It didn't go without Jason's notice. He was going to find out what the girls were up to if it took him all night every night. Well, maybe not to such an extreme. He was a married man you know…
