Chapter 33
"Logan!" I yelled.
"Hey baby." he said.
"When did you get back?" I asked.
"Just a few minutes ago. You didn't hear me through that mind of yours?" he asked with a smirk.
"Ha, uh, my powers have been a little wacky lately." I said nervously.
"Are you gonna give me a hug or just stare at me?" he smiled.
"Sorry." I smiled. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He still smelt the same as when he left, but much more muskier.
"Uh I missed you." he whispered into my neck.
"Me too." I said back.
"How have things been?" he asked pulling away from me.
"Uh, good, good." I said, instantly getting nervous. I hated showing any kind of emotion because Logan could always sniff it out, but he seemed to be too tired to sniff out my nervousness.
"Anything exciting happen?" he asked.
"Oh if you only knew." I mumbled.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Oh, if you knew the way Sarah has been acting, you never would have come back." I said.
He only smiled and turned back to his bag to unpack his things. I rolled my eyes and mentally slapped myself at my stupidity.
"So, did you find him?" I asked.
"Uh, yea." he mumbled.
"Really? Well, where is he?" I asked instantly intrigued.
"He's dead." said Logan.
"Dead? How?" I asked astonished.
"I found him, nailed to a tree." he said.
Hearing him tell me that made a mental picture pop into my mind, and made me nauseous. I put my hand to mouth, hoping I wouldn't have to throw up. I was sorry I asked.
"You okay?" asked Logan walking up to me.
"Yea, I'm fine." I smiled.
"You sure? You look a little pale." he stated.
"It just must of been something I ate." I said.
"Okay." he said. He rubbed my arm and went back to his clothes.
"Do you want me to do your laundry while you rest?" I asked.
"You don't have too." he said.
"No I wanna!" I said a bit to energetically. "Well, you need to rest as much as you can, you must be exhausted. So, I will go wash your clothes while you take a bath or shower or whatever and get some sleep. Go on!"
I grabbed his clothes and threw them into the laundry basket. I pushed him into the bathroom and closed the door. I let out a sigh and grabbed the basket. I walked down the hall towards the laundry room and saw Sarah sitting in the kitchen.
"Flip! Laundry room, now!" I ordered.
She looked at me with a confused look but followed me anyway. When she was inside the laundry room I closed and locked the door. I heaved a big sigh and began pacing.
"What's the problem?" she asked.
"How am I supposed to tell him?" I asked her.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"Hello! Do you not remember what I found out yesterday! How am I supposed to tell him?" I yelled.
"Well, first off, you're not gonna get anywhere with that attitude of yours, and second, you just need to breathe alright? Stressing like this is not gonna do you any good." she said.
"I just, I'm scared." I said.
"I know honey, and I was too, but if I am not mistaken, you also told me to just suck it up, and tell him." said Sarah.
"Yes but the father of your baby isn't a wild dog!" I said.
"Very true, but, still, I know there is a soft side to Logan somewhere deep inside all of that hair." she said.
"Okay, sarcasm is not welcome here right now. How exactly am I supposed to go to him and tell him, 'Oh by the way honey, we're gonna have a baby!" I yelled.
"Look, I am sure you will find a way to tell him. Just go with your heart. It never lies." said Sarah.
"Thank you, Oprah." I said.
"Excuse me, sarcasm is not welcome here right now." she mocked back.
"Ha, very funny." I said. "Alright, I can do this."
"Yes you can." said Sarah.
I started walking towards the door but then stopped and turned around.
"What if he doesn't want it? What if he leaves me because he isn't ready for a kid? What am I supposed to do then?" I started rambling.
"Wings! Calm down! Listen, he is gonna find out sooner or later." said Sarah.
"I could go into hiding." I said with a hoping look on my face.
"Don't be ridiculous. You are not going to go into hiding, besides you would never be able to survive on your own." she said.
"Yea I guess your right. Okay, wish me luck?" I said with a scared look on my face.
"You'll be fine." she tried to reassure me, but it wasn't helping at all.
"Are you sure I can't go into hiding?" I asked as a last plea.
"Will you just go!" she laughed.
She pushed me out of the laundry room and I had no choice but to go and face him. I just hoped he was relaxed by the time I got there.
I stood outside the door, battling with myself inside my head. Should I knock, or shouldn't I? That was the question running through my mind.
"Just go in! You're giving me a headache!"
I jumped and turned around to see Sneakers sitting on the other side of the hallway.
"Easy for you to say." I said.
"Whatever. You're gonna have to tell him sooner or later."
"How did you ever learn to talk in the first place." I said angrily, knowing she was right.
She only yelled at me and then ran off down the hall.
"Wait don't go!" I pleaded desperately. "Damn it."
I turned back towards the door and heaved a sigh. I cracked my knuckles along with my neck and turned the doorknob. The door opened slowly, revealing a darkness filled room. I could see Logan's form snuggled up underneath the blankets, his breathing steady.
He was sleeping and I didn't want to disturb him. 'Oh well.' I shrugged. I turned around and went to walk out when Sneakers yelling stopped me in my place.
"And where are you going?"
"None of your business." I whispered harshly.
"Pix?" said a muffled voice.
"Shit." I mumbled to myself.
I glared at Sneakers and could have sworn I saw a smirk on her little face. She was gonna get reamed a new one. I slowly turned around to see Logan sitting up, reaching for the lamp.
"Hey." I said, once the light was on.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing, I just came to see if you needed anything, but you were sleeping, so I will let you get back to that." I said. I went to leave when Sneakers hissed at me. I hissed back at her and she stood defiant.
"Well, obviously Sneakers doesn't want you to go, so apparently something's wrong. Tell me." he said.
I glared at Sneakers one last time before I shut the door. Before it was shut I heard her yell at me and I slammed the door in her face. 'Serves her right.' I thought to myself.
"Come here." said Logan.
He pulled back the covers and motioned for me to come sit next to him. I took of my slippers and sat down next to him.
"You alright?" he asked.
"Yea." I looked over at him and saw the 'yeah right' look on his face. "No."
"What's the matter?" he asked.
I was silent for a few minutes. How was I supposed to tell him? I couldn't just come out and say it.
"Yes you can."
"Get out of my head!" I yelled to Sneakers.
"Just tell him! Thing will be a lot easier, believe me." she said.
"Oh yea, believe you? You're an animal for crying out loud!" I snarled.
"Fine, you don't want my advice, I'll leave you alone."
And with that she was gone. I mentally scolded myself for kicking her out. She was all I had.
"Baby?" said Logan, snapping me out of my trance.
"Huh? Oh, uh, I have to tell you something, and I'm worried about how you'll react." I whispered.
"Pix, I won't get mad if that's what you're worried about." he said.
"Uh, you might." I said.
"This doesn't have anything to do with someone else does it?" he asked, his mood getting more serious.
"No! Well, kind of." I said, confused.
"Well, which is it?" he said a bit more angrily.
"I don't know. Yes! Ugh, I'm so confused." I said, dropping my head into my hands.
"What is there to be confused about huh? Is there someone else? If there is then please just spit it out!" he yelled.
"I'm pregnant alright!" I yelled back, glaring at him, tears forming in my eyes.
The look on Logan's face was one of shock and confusion. He looked like a fish with his mouth opening and closing, searching for something to say. I sighed and stood up, walking over to the window.
"Pregnant?" he whispered astounded.
"Yea." I said, staring out the window. "I didn't know how to tell you."
"When did you find out?" he asked.
"Yesterday. I thought you were gonna be gone longer." I said.
"Sorry to disappoint you." he growled.
"Logan." I said turning around. "I was hoping that you were gonna be gone longer so I would have time to try and figure this all out."
"Figure what out, Pix?" he asked angry.
"Look, this isn't easy for me either alright? I wanted to tell you earlier and I was scared on how you would react, and judging by your mood right now I was right in wanting to wait." I said.
Logan only sighed and lowered his head.
"Baby I'm sorry. I just, wasn't expecting that." he said.
"Yea well, neither was I." I said.
"A baby." he said.
"Yea." I replied.
"Wow." he said.
I only nodded. We didn't speak to each other for the next five minutes. Him sitting on his bed, me leaning against the window, arms crossed. What else was I supposed to say?
"I'm sorry." I heard him manage to say. "I didn't mean to get angry. I just thought that when you said it was someone else I thought you meant an actual person. Not, a baby." he said.
"Yea I know. You just, I just didn't know how to tell you. I was hoping for more time so I could figure this all out and tell you properly but, you surprised me." I smiled.
"Yea I know. I thought I was gonna be gone longer also, but, finding Strycker against that tree-"
"Baby," I interrupted him with my hand up, "Please, spare me the details?"
"Sorry." he chuckled. "Come here."
I walked over and layed down next to him. He wrapped his arms around me as I pulled up the covers. He gave me a kiss to my temple and snuggled into my neck.
"Let's get some sleep, and tomorrow we can take this head on, hm?" he said.
"Sounds like a plan to me." I said.
I snuggled into his arms, enveloping myself in the scent and warmth of him. I was almost asleep when I felt his hand gently lay on top of my stomach. He must of thought I was asleep because he started rubbing his hand back and forth along my stomach. I could only smile a little as I fell into a dream filled sleep, thinking about all of the things to come.
Ahhhhhh she told him! Oh goodness, well let me know what ya'll think!!
