When Mia woke up the next morning, she immediately ran into the living room. But Logan wasn't there. She thought for a moment, then she checked the kitchen, the bathrooms, and the garden. No sign of him. What now?

'Mommy,' she thought. 'Mommy will help me.'

So she went to her mother's bedroom and knocked. "Mommy?"

It took a few seconds, then Camille opened the door. "Hey, sweetie. What's wrong?"

"Mommy, Logan is gone."

Camille had to smile. "No, honey, he's not gone. Look." She pointed to her bed. "Come on. We'll let him sleep, okay?"

They went into the kitchen and while Camille was making breakfast for Mia, Mia asked, "Mommy, why is Logan sleeping in your room?"

Before Camille could answer, Carlos entered the kitchen. "Who sleeps where?"

"Logan slept in Mommy's room," Mia said.

Carlos looked stunned for a moment, then grinned and looked at Camille meaningfully. "Oh really?"

Camille shrugged but smiled. Mia looked from one to the other and then asked softly, "Mommy, does that mean we're a real family now?"

These words almost brought Camille to tears. She pulled her daughter onto her lap and kissed the top of her head. "Yes, sweetheart. We are a family."

Mia beamed and looked questioningly at Carlos. "Does Carlos also belong to our family?"

"Of course," Camille and Carlos said at the same time. Carlos laughed. "You know, Mia, I've known your daddy for a very, very long time. He and I are like brothers. So actually I'm your uncle."

"Really?"

"Yes. And because Lex and Jo have also been friends with your mommy for so long, they are your aunts."

"Great!" Mia said, walking towards Carlos and hugging him. Camille smiled. It was no wonder that Mia was so happy. For years she only had her mother as a family and now there were so many new people in her life and they all belonged to the family.

"Is there anything to celebrate?"

Mia looked up and beamed. "Logan!" She let go of Carlos and ran to Logan who picked her up and gave her a quick kiss.

"Yes, we're a big family now," Carlos said with a grin.

"Yes, Carlos is now my uncle and Lex and Jo are my aunts," Mia said cheerfully. Logan smiled. "Yes, a family." He looked at Camille who winked at him.

The day passed without any noteworthy events. It was a harmonious day, but Camille noticed that Logan was often lost in thought. After dinner, he suddenly said, "Hey, Carlos, can I talk to you for a sec?"

Carlos nodded and he and Logan disappeared into the kitchen. Camille and Alexa exchanged questioning looks. After a few minutes, the two came back into the living room, but didn't say what they had discussed. Just before it was time for Mia to go to bed, she asked Logan, "Are you sleeping here again?"

Logan shook his head. "Not today, honey. I have a few important things to do. Maybe tomorrow, okay?"

Mia nodded sadly. "Can you at least put me to bed?" She asked hopefully. Logan smiled. "With pleasure."

The two waved to the others and disappeared.

After a while Logan came back. Camille expected him to sit with her, but instead he went into the kitchen and closed the door behind him. Camille sighed, got up and also entered the kitchen. Logan stood at the window with his back to her. Camille put her arms around him and snuggled up to him. "What's wrong? Please talk to me, Logan."

Logan sighed and turned around. He looked very serious. "Mia said we're a family. She, you, me, Carlos, Lex, and Jo."

Camille nodded. "Where is the problem?"

"Mia has more than just one uncle."

It took Camille a moment to understand what he meant. "Kendall and James ... you want to tell them?"

Logan nodded. "Yes."

Camille thought about it. It was risky, but she didn't want to hide anymore. She nodded slowly. "Okay."

He pulled her close and kissed her forehead, but still looked worried.

"What's bothering you?"

"They're not just my best friends, Cam. They are my brothers. But I don't know how they will react and that scares me a bit."

Camille nodded and stroked his hair. "Are you sure you don't want to stay here tonight?"

He smiled forcedly. "Yes. Carlos and I agreed that we want to tell them tomorrow. I want to prepare for that in peace. Do you understand?"

"Yes," she sighed reluctantly. He kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you too."
