Back in Toronto Logan was preparing to leave for Stonehaven he had told his girlfriend Rachel that his cousin's kids were having some problems and they wanted the family therapist help. So he agreed to come help out for a week. Rachel had just left for work Logan was packing his bag, he was thinking over everything and his thought to inform Elena of what was going on came to his mind. He walked over to his phone and stood for a moment but somehow talked himself out of it. In his mind he wanted to try to fix everything for Elena because besides being her best friend she was like his sister. Coming downstairs he was about to exit the door when he smelled that familiar scent and he knew there was no way he would be able to keep this from her. Opening the door he saw Elena standing there as she looked shocked to see him with a bag in his hand. Walking in she kissed his cheek saying "hi, you going somewhere?" Logan smiled and turned to her saying "actually I am, I'm going home." She looked at him with an open mouth utterly shocked because usually he had scheduled visits and he just came back from one so the only thing going through her head was something was going on, something bad. He looked her in her eyes as she asked questions "what happened? Is anybody hurt? Where are the twins?" Logan looked at the concern her face and he tried to settle her down "Elena, there okay, there fine from what Clay says, he's just a little worried about what they may have seen or experienced and he doesn't want to frighten them so he wants me to come down and try to talk with them and use my therapist knowledge to figure it out without alerting them or scaring them." Elena took a deep breath and sat down "but there alright", Logan sat on the coffee table and held her hand "there okay." Elena calming herself down asked Logan "what exactly happened", Logan shrugged his shoulders as he got up and began to go for his bag "I'm not sure, Clay called and just told me I was needed because of Katherine and Logan." He turned and looked at Elena she was still breathing heavily as she sat on the couch. He opened the door and looked back at her waiting for her to get up "hey once I get to Stonehaven and find out exactly what's going on I promise I will call you with all the details." Elena got up and walked to the door walking out in front of Logan as he closed the door. Standing outside Elena stood still as he Logan placed his bag in the backseat and she still had the worried look in her eyes. They hugged goodbye and Elena stood as she watched him get in the car, just as he was about to pull off Elena yelled out "wait" and she walked to the car breathing uncontrollably hard. Logan stopped and stared at her wondering what she was doing, she opened the car door and got in and put on her seat belt saying "I'm coming with you, and before you analyze this to me all I can think about right now is what if something happened and I never got to see them. I need to see them, hold them." Logan smiled and nodded.
They were half way to Bearvalley, stopping off at Elena's apartment to get her some clothes took a bit of time. She hadn't told Phillip where she was going instead she sent him a text message say: Family Emergency, went with Logan home. Call you soon! She knew this would not be the end of this conversation but at least she told the truth. Driving the car ride was rather silent until Logan spoke up saying "have you thought of what your gonna say to Clay?" She shook her head no and replied "over the last three years I have dreamed of what this day would be like but I can never bring myself to play the whole dream through." Logan rubbed her shoulders and told her "no matter what, they are your children and you have a right to see them. Now your gonna have to make things right with Clay to do so", Elena looked at Logan "making things right with Clay, how do I….. What do I….. It's been three years." The silence fell over the car as they continued to ride. After a while they arrived in Bearvalley which was about thirty minutes from Stonehaven. Riding through town it all brought back lots of memories of her life there and how much her Clay were really in love, and being a family meant to her. Before she knew it they were pulling up at the front of Stonehaven and it seemed to be no one home, but it always appeared that way. Logan stepped out the car and so did Elena she stared at the big property with the mansion and took it all in. She took in a scent and realized she couldn't smell Clay. Logan looked over at her and asked "are you ready for this?"
Elena took a deep breath and walked to the front door she turned the knob and walked into the house everything seemed to be the same. She looked around the house for sign of her children. At the front door was a hot pink small jacket Elena picked it up and took in the scent, her eyes got big and bright because he daughter was near. Logan came in behind her and took the jacket from her saying "that's surprising it's only one here, Logan must be with Clay but, Katherine is around here somewhere." Just then Jeremy came from around the corner and he looked a bit shocked. His first words were "Elena you came home", Elena smiled at Jeremy but was still a little uneasy toward him because of their history and what she knew that he didn't think she knew. He walked toward her to hug her and she looked a bit stiff hugging him back. Turning to Logan they hugged and broke with Jeremy saying "we ask for a therapist and we get a miracle". Logan could sense this was his cue to leave, so he excused himself by saying "I'm gonna go call Rachel let her know I made here safely."
This left Jeremy and Elena alone together, she was looking to him for acceptance but he was looking at her with disappointment. He began to speak "I take it you have heard about the bit of trouble we were having and that's why you came." She replied saying "not the specifics but if my children or in danger I should know." Jeremy's eyes raised at her when she uttered those words, "lower your voice even though they are small they have impeccable senses." Just then Elena smelled the tiny smell she took in from the jacket at the front door and she turned to see small blond haired little girl with blue eyes wearing a pink dress with a black belt, black tights, and pink flat shoes. Her hair long and blond with a pink bow clip in it as it all fell down her face. It was a bit messy because it seemed as if she had just awoken from a nap. She stood at the bottom of the steps looking at Elena and Jeremy until she spoke out saying "Grandpa, where's daddy and Logan" Jeremy looked at Katherine and walked over to her saying "oh little one, your awake" as he picked her up hugging her, he kissed her cheek and held her close telling her "daddy and Logan went to the store, while you were sleeping", Jeremy looked back at Elena who looked as if she had just seen a ghost. Katherine looked at Elena too never speaking, she simply cling to Jeremy and stared at her. He turned to walk toward the kitchen as he began asking Katherine what snack she wanted. Katherine was too intrigued with the sight of Elena and continued to watch her as she was carried out the room. Elena was still in shock seeing her daughter who happened to be an exact replica of her was bit much in one day. She waited for Jeremy to return and when he did he came back swiftly. He pulled Elena to the side and began to talk low "Elena I understand you are overcome with a lot of emotions right now but for the sake of the children I have to ask you to refrain from saying anything about who you are." Elena nodded her head as the front door opened and in walked Clay carrying a sleeping Logan. He looked around and saw Elena standing in the front room, his immediate response to it all was "where's Katherine?" Jeremy spoke up and announced "I gave her a snack in her room." Clay had no true words for her but held in his arms her son propped on his shoulder sleep wearing blue jeans, boots and a blue jacket with blond hair. Besides the obvious color of his hair nothing about him screamed out Elena he was all Clay and it made Elena smile. Elena moved toward him and Clay backed away putting a hand up for her to keep her distance he insisted "can this wait until I get him down and check on Katherine." She nodded her head and said "yeah of course." He carried Logan upstairs and she was left downstairs with Jeremy who rested his hand on her shoulder as he announced "Welcome Home."
