"Ok Logan everything is gonna be alright" Connor assured his infant daughter as he strapped her into her carrier. "We're just gonna go visit Auntie Ashley and Uncle John for a little while"

"Hey Con what's up man?" John asked allowing his future brother in law into his home.
"Could you do me a huge favor?" Connor asked.
"I have to swing by work and pick something up and then I'm gonna go and relieve Ashley from sitting with Kieran for a little while" he added.
"Sure I have nothing pressing to do" John agreed. "Come here little princess" he cooed taking Logan out of her carrier. "We'll be fine won't we?"
"Thanks man I owe you one" Connor clapped him on the back before leaving.
With a heavy heart he walked out of his sister's home thinking that he wouldn't see his kids for a while, never knowing that he would once see them once more before he lost his life.

"Guys I'm home" an exhausted looking Ashley dropped her bag by the front door and shuffled tiredly across the foyer and into the kitchen. John was just feeding all the kids. Dean, Phinnigan, and Faith were sitting at the table eating pizza and John was leaning against the counter feeding Logan a bottle.
"What's Logan doing here?" Ashley asked confused.
"Didn't Connor tell you when he relieved you of Kieran duty?" John asked.
"I never saw Connor today" Ashley remarked. "That son of a …" she remembered the kids were listening. She grabbed the cordless phone and dialed Connor's number.
"This number has been disconnected at the user's request"
"I'm going to kill him" she dialed a different number.
"Dad … your son just left his daughter with us and took off and to make matters worse he had his house phone and his cell turned off … I don't think he is coming back" she sighed tiredly.
"This is the last thing these two babies need" she pulled at her hair a little bit.
"Yes if I hear anything I will let you know" she sighed again hanging up the phone.
"What are we gonna do?" John asked wrapping his arms around her.
"We can't really do anything until we hear from him and then maybe we can convince him to come back but until then looks like we have another house guest … damn we need a bigger house" she laughed sadly.
"We can do that … we can build a bigger house and we can even have a guest house built so that Randy and Dommy have their privacy" John suggested.
"Sounds nice sweetie but I'm going to bed I've been up since 5 am"
"Ok kids you heard your mom we're gonna be really quiet so she can rest"
"Is Logan gonna live with us forever?" Dean asked.
"I'm not sure kiddo"
"Great another sister" he made a face.
"Take it from a guy who never had sisters they are really important … you boys are gonna be the ones who look after them and make sure they meet nice guys who will treat them right and if they don't then you get to kick the stuffing out of them"
"We get to beat people up?" Dean asked.
"Well yeah but only if they hurt your sisters" he explained "you just can't go around beating people up because you want to"
"Isn't that what you do Uncle John?" Dean asked.
"Ok kids it's bed time"
