A/n: Haha evil me. SOMEONE (from this site) copied this story onto another forum (plagerised it). I'm not happy at the minute. At all. It's been taken down now thankfully. So enjoy the update.

Chapter 13.

Dana was used to sleeping alone. With the kids around, Logan came round on precious little occasion to spend time with just her. And if he did come, he rarely spent the night. She loved him very much, and often wondered about asking him to move in with them, as the nights got very lonely. But after the fight they'd had that was one of the farthest things on her mind when she'd fallen asleep. She actually wondered if they were even still together, and tried to imagine how her life might be without him.

She blearily opened her eyes, seeing a shadow above her bed she smiled weakly.
"Ok." She murmered softly. "You're forgiven." She pulled back the covers to allow him in. He said nothing just climbed in beside her. She slid her arms around his torso, and lay her head on his chest. The black of the night made it impossible to see anything but his outline. He kissed her forehead. "Just... we shouldn't keep secrets from each other you know babe." She said into his shirt. He wrapped his arms around her. She lay cuddled in his arms for the longest time. "Since when do you wear jeans in bed?" he shrugged. Then daringly Dana smiled. "Take em off." She whispered. Doing as instructed, he removed his jeans and kissed her. She moaned slightly, knowing they both wanted the same thing, gripping his shirt she pulled him down to her, granting him permission. He bent down and kissed her neck, starting to bite and suck, leaving a mark.

He was a little rough with her, but Dana heard that was normal after fights, having barely fought with Logan, she didn't know any better and just accepted it.


When she woke at 9am she was alone. Logan seemed to have got up already. She stood up, pulling her robe on for decency, not really caring if Katie saw her in her lingerie, but being a lady. Logan was sat at the table with his back to her. She tapped his shoulder and when he turned around she kissed him. But he pushed her away. She gave an indignant squawk. He relaxed seeing who it was.
"Sorry Dana."
"S'ok. I forgave you." He kissed her softly.
"I gotta talk to you." He said awkwardly.
"Yeah I've been meaning to talk to you too. I haven't asked Katie but... would you like to move in with us?" Dana quipped so cheerfully. Logan was torn. On one side he would love to be closer to Dana and Stacy but... Katie was on the other side.
"Can I say what I have to say first?" He asked. "If you still wanna ask me to move in with you afterwards then I will ok."
"Um... Ok."

"Katie kissed me yesterday." He confessed. "I SHOULD have pushed her away. I am SO sorry... I panicked."
"Oh..." Dana said looking a bit confused. "I thought you two were cool." She bit her lip.
"Me too. I... we made out, but it didn't get any further than that." He swore. Dana felt tears sting her eyes. "I didn't mean it to happen Dana." He said biting his lip.
"Can I trust you it won't happen again?" She questioned.
"Yeah. I... I promise." He swore putting his hand over her heart gently. She felt his hand against the thin of her robe and remembered how vacant he had seemed last night. He must've been worrying about that. Dana nodded. Using his spare hand Logan brushed away the tears, just feeling her heart. After an unbearable silence she slipped her arms around his waist and cuddled into him. He stroked her hair softly, feeling very guilty about last night.

There was a cry from the next room as Stacy woke up.
"Ok if I go see to her?" Logan asked gently.
"Yeah go ahead." She let him go, he kissed her quickly and hurried into Katie's room where Stacy was stood in her crib screaming.
"Ok ok daddy's here c'mon you'll wake your mom up." He picked her up and bobbed her on his hip. She started to settle as Logan gave her her pacificer. He walked back into the kitchen where Dana was making breakfast. She was still crying and he felt awful.

"Love you."
"Logan how come you say that all the time. Are you trying to convince you or me?" She asked pouring the milk on her cereal.
"You. Most definitely you." He swore. Dana shrugged. Katie padded in.
"Was Stacy crying?" She asked. She felt the tension and felt incredibly guilty, knowing Logan must have told Dana, she gulped.
"Yeah... yeah she was, here." Logan passed Stacy into her mom's hands and looked at his girlfriend. "Dana?"
"What?"
"You ok?"
"I'll be fine now shut up and eat." He could see it in her eyes she was not fine. He knew she was hurt beyond belief. Logan dipped his head to catch her eyes properly. "Logan... I'm sorry I've just been kinda moody lately." That word seemed to strike a chord in Logan.
"You're not... are you... are we...?" His voice was panicky. Dana looked totally confused. "Uh... pregnant?"
"Hell no! At least I hope not. That's the last thing I want or need. Uh no..." She looked to be calculating. "I can't be. Promise you. Calm down." She said gently. She looked apprehensively at Katie.
"Are we cool?" She asked.
"We're cool." Katie said hurriedly.


"Y'know we really should think about having a kid." Logan said thoughtfully. He remembered telling Katie about wanting lots of kids, and the look on Dana's face now was a picture.
"We have a kid."
"I mean my flesh and blood."
"You have Stacy." Dana was avoiding the preposition.
"Yours AND mine."
"Logan, I said no ok." Dana said irritatedly. Logan scowled and climbed into bed beside her.
"Why not?"
"If you had ANY idea Logan Reese the HELL I went through with my first pregnancy and kid," She hissed. He just watched her rant. For about ten minutes solid she just yelled and her face was red and her hair was flying then he face just fell. "And THAT," She breathed. "Is why I don't want to have another kid. Ever. Understand?" She pushed her hair behind her ear
"Why've you been so teary lately?" He asked her softly. He dipped in and kissed her gently.
"I guess I'm scared to lose you."

"I miss you sometimes." He said sadly.
"I've always been right here." She said confusedly.
"I mean I miss Dana! Danger Cruz." Dana grinned
"You miss her?" She asked cheekily. He nodded. She dipped in and kissed him. "She's still around." He kissed her cheek very gently, laying her back.

"Be gentle." She ordered. "You hurt me last time."
"I did? Oh uhm... sorry." He was alarmed he'd hurt her, and very gently brushed her hair back. Kissing her cheek and neck very gently she smiled. Logan jumped back six feet and yelled. Dana sat up.
"What?" She asked in alarm her eyes wide and her hair tousled.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" he demanded.
"What is what Logan you're scaring me!" She breathed.
"THAT!" He yelled again pointing his index finger at her. She hopped off the bed, and Logan dragged her to the mirror.
"Logan... stop it." He tossed her hair sideways and showed her neck
"That." he hissed again. She looked mildly shocked.
"A love bite Logan..."
"FROM WHO?"
"FROM YOU!" She squawked

"My dad taught me to never EVER mark a lady!" He growled. "And I NEVER have done! So who is he!"
"LOGAN STOP IT." She begged backing away having never seen him this mad.
"TELL ME?"
"HOW CAN YOU ACCUSE ME OF BEING UNFAITHFUL!" She asked crying. "When YOU kissed Katie?"
"Katie didn't leave tattoos!" He said flicking the mark on her neck. She hit his hand away.
"YOU LEFT THAT." She said wide eyed. He looked totally hurt. How could she look him in the eye and lie?
"When?"
"Last night..." She shuddered. "Are you and me... are we ok?" She breathed. "You were... so cold to me last night..." Logan's rage was fading away with genuine concern for Dana. He had not been anywhere near her last night... was she going mad? "You... you didn't speak... kept the lights off... made it feel like..." she sniffled gently. "Like back when..." Logan suddenly realised what had happened. He felt sick.

He'd been in the apartment... she could be dead. And she must've been...
"Oh god Dana..." He breathed. He sat on the bed and enveloped her in his arms. For a long time there was silence, and Logan KNEW he had to get Katie out of the apartment, Dana too. But Katie was most at risk, and Dana's young son. "I promise... never again. Never ever ever."
"The baby thing... we'll work out a compromise ok." She said awkwardly. He lay her down and just looked at her.
"You..." Was all he could say. He kissed her softly and just held her. Despite all panic buttons blaring, Logan fell asleep, with Dana sleeping in his arms.


A scream awoke the two lovers, from their peaceful innocent sleep. Logan's heart was racing, whereas Dana was just curious. Another scream was issued, and Logan was on jhis feet.
"STAY THERE." He demanded.
"No!" She hopped up.
"If you love me you'll stay." He warned her. She looked hesitant but then another sound echoed, something that made her blood freeze. Another scream, but this time instead of sounding like Katie, it was most definitely Scott. Logan fled the room, into Katie's bedroom where the comotion was coming from. Scott was sat screaming on Katie's bed with Stacy, Katie was being held at gunpoint by Clayton.
"Gun down Clayton!" Logan barked, worried for her life. Dana slipped in behind him and Logan grabbed her and pushed her out of the door. "DANA I LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IN HERE I LOVE YOU BABY!" He said leaning against the closed door.
"Well well well... if it isn't Logan Reese." Clayton smirked. "Your girlfriend... she's good when willing."
"Shut up!" Logan hissed, glad the gun was no longer pointed at Katie who was shaking, pale as hell against the wall. Scott was screaming loudly, clutching his 'sister'.

"Women and children." Logan growled. "Women and children... let them leave."
"It's him I'm after." He said nodding at Scott. Logan stepped infront of the two infants.
"Then you go through me. That child has done NOTHING wrong." Logan knew he was staring death in the face, and it terrified him, but he needed time to stall, so Dana could call the police.
"Have it your way Reese." Clayton shrugged, pulling the hammer on the gun, her aimed it at Logan's forehead. "And don't worry..." He smirked. "Dana's in good hands."
"Do I not get a last request? Last words?" He asked, hoping to stall a little longer.
"Go for it."
"Scott... don't you ever blame yourself for this... Katie... tell Stacy I was a good dad... and tell Dana I loved her..." he paused, staring down the gun barrel. "And Katie... tell the papers... my last words were..." He thought for a moment. "My apologies to my loved ones... for the nasty stain I left on the carpet." Against all odds he laughed. It was a form of hysteria.

"Nice sentiment Reese. GoodBye." Clayton put pressure on the trigger. Katie darted forward, just as the trigger was pulled, knocking the gun's aim away.


The next part of the story is uncertain. I know a few facts, from the papers that day, the news reports, and the police statement from a Dana Cruz. I know that four shots were fired, and two of the five in the room died. I know a lot of blood was left on the carpet, staining it for life. And I know Dana Cruz fainted when she and armed officers entered the room.

But that my dears, is for the next chapter.

A/n: Yes yes. Next chapter is the final one.

Who died?
