Here's Chapter 3. Hope you all like it. Please review at the end.


The next morning, Logan woke up late. He opened his eyes and saw that Victor was not in bed anymore. He was no longer in the room. He sat up and looked at the clock. 12:30 AM. Logan looked down at his belly, his empty belly. He touched his belly, missing his pup's kicking. His healing factor would take care of getting rid of his belly. He got up out of bed and went into the bathroom. He locked the door behind him and turned on the shower. He stood under the shower head as the water pounded him. He had an arm wrapped around his belly.

Logan felt tears well up in his eyes and they fell and he slid down the shower wall and cried, curling up in the far corner of the shower. He cried more and more, his arms wrapped around his belly. He missed the extra weight of his dead pup. He missed all the games little games he would play with his pup. He missed everything. His belly shrunk as his healing factor worked.

He stayed in the shower as the water went cold. He didn't pay any attention. He didn't know how long he stayed in the shower. He had goosebumps all over him and he was shivering, but he didn't care. He just sat there still curled up as tears continued streaming down his face. His healing factor took care of belly and it was flat now.

They didn't even have a name for the pup yet. They were thinking of naming him after Victor's father, Thomas or after Logan's 'father' Johnathan. Logan just stared at the shower drain, watching the water go down it.

Victor was downstairs getting lunch for him and Logan (their suite doesn't have a kitchen) and was getting them some sandwiches. He hoped that maybe this would help him feel a little better. Victor was upset, too, but tried not to think of their dead pup. He was putting the sandwiches on the plates when Hank walked in.

"How are you two doing?" he asked as he got himself a cup of coffee.

"Okay, I guess," Victor said. "Still upset 'bout it. Jimmy's more upset 'bout losin' the pup."

"We are all sorry about your and Logan's loss," he said. "If there is anything we can do to help, let us know."

"We will," Victor said. "I'm going to talk to Jimmy 'bout havin' another pup. Not now. Gonna wait until after the funeral."

"When do you want it to take place?"

"I was thinkin' maybe later today or tomorrow if Jimmy is up for it."

"Have you told LJ and Vicki?"

"No, not yet," he said. "Plannin' to after I get Jimmy to eat somethin' for lunch."

"Good," Hank said. "I'm afraid I have to cut short our talk. I need to get back to my work."

Victor nodded. "Alright, Hank."

Hank left and Victor put the plates on a tray and carried it upstairs. Victor opened the door and heard the shower running. He set the tray on the coffee table and went to the bathroom. He tried the knob, but it was locked.

"Jimmy? Jimmy, open the door."

No answer.

"Jimmy open the frickin' door!"

Still no answer.

Victor held the knob tightly and used his strength and ripped the knob out of the door. He pushed it open and saw Logan curled up in the shower. He ran over to it and turned the shower off. He knelt in front of Logan. He was still shivering and had goosebumps. Logan wouldn't look at Victor. Victor got a large towel and wrapped it around Logan and picked him up, carrying him bridal style to the bed in their room.

"It's okay, Jimmy, it's okay," he said as he pulled the covers back on the bed and carefully put Logan in the bed then pulled the covers over him.

He went and got the tray and brought it in. He sat beside him and set the tray in front of them. Logan turned around and leaned on Victor. Victor wrapped and arm around him. "Are ya hungry at all?"

"A little. . ."

"Ya wanna try eatin' some of this sandwich I made ya?"

Logan nodded and brought his arms out from under the covers. He grabbed a sandwich half and nibbled on it. Victor took his own sandwich half and started eating it. Logan continued nibbling on his half. He sighed some and still leaned on Victor. Victor finished eating his half and kissed Logan's temple. Logan sighed more and snuggled more into Victor's chest.

"Jimmy?" Victor asked as he started eating his other sandwich half.

"What?"

"Do you want to do the funeral later today or tomorrow?"

"Later today," he said, setting down his sandwich half.

"Okay," Victor said, kissing his temple again. "We need to tell the kids."

"I know. . ."

The kids suddenly ran into the room with Rogue following them. They hopped up onto the bed.

"Thanks for watchin' them," Victor said.

"Yer welcome," she said and left.

Two year old LJ and Vicki looked at their parents.

"Where is our baby brother?" LJ asked.

"Pups, we got some bad news," Victor said. "The birth didn't go so well. Hank and Jean had to cut into Daddy's stomach and remove yer baby brother because of the accident Daddy was in. Yer baby brother was born standstill. Meanin' he's. . .dead."

LJ and Vicki looked at their mother with their big eyes.

"He's dead?" Vicki asked.

"Yeah. It happens sometimes," Victor said. He didn't want to tell them it was because of metal being jammed into the dead baby's stomach. He thought it was too much information for them at the age of two.

"Can we see him?" LJ asked.

Victor shook his head. "Not now. Ya will see him at the funeral later today."

They nodded and hugged their parents. Logan hugged them tightly.

Later that day, the funeral was taking place in the back of the mansion. The entire school was there, too. There was a blue baby sized casket all ready to be lowered into the grave, but it was set on top of a beautiful black stand and the casket was opened. Kurt was doing the honors. Logan was leaning on Victor during the ceremony. Victor had his arm around him and his other arm around their kids as they sat on his and Logan's lap.

Once the ceremony was over, the family walked over to the baby casket. They lifted their kids so they could look at the late baby brother. The kids' eyes were sad. Logan held LJ tightly as he looked at the dead baby. He sighed and looked away. Victor held Vicki in one arm and Victor had his arm around Logan.

The casket was closed and was taken to the gave then it was lowered. Logan and Victor took the kids back to the mansion. They went to the after party, but Logan just sat at a table and didn't do anything. He barley ate any of his dinner that was offered. Victor sat next to him. He put and arm around him.

"Jimmy, I got somethin' I wanna talk with ya 'bout," Victor said.

"What?"

"Jimmy, I know we just lost our pup last night, but I wanna have another pup."

"Another pup? Victor-"

"I don't mean right after the party. I mean later on."

"I guess so," he said. "It wouldn't hurt."

Victor smiled and kissed him. Logan kissed him back and smiled a little. After an hour, the kids were taken upstairs by Marie and was put to bed. After a few more hours, the after party ended and everyone left to go to bed. Logan and Victor headed to bed, too. Once they were in their room, they changed into their PJs and got into bed. They held each other and went to sleep.
