Chapter 4
Emily was running around like crazy. Occasionally she found some eggs, but she also missed some because she was way too excited to search properly. Camille and Logan watched her with a big smile on their faces.
"She still needs to get the hang of this," Logan said laughing.
"There are no more eggs," Emily pouted.
"But there are, sweetie," Camille said smiling. "You just need to look real good. The Easter bunnies have hidden them well."
"I don't like them anymore, mommy," Emily said still pouting. "I want to eat chocolate."
"I know you do, sweetie," Camille said. "You'll just have to try and search for them."
"I'll never find them," Emily said sighing.
"She looks so much like you," Camille whispered to Logan.
"Hey, watch it," he said punching her playfully.
"She does," Camille said laughing. "She is just as pessimistic and she has an adorable pout just like her dad. Who can resist that?"
Logan pulled Camille in his arms and very gently placed a tender kiss on her lips.
"I give up," Emily said mocking and she sat down on the ground.
"Hey, princess, you want some help?" Logan said to his daughter. He ran up to her and sat down beside her. "You know, I can help you and so can mommy and maybe the Easter bunnies will help us too."
"Will they?" Emily said getting excited again.
"Well, I could ask," Logan said.
"Have you been nice, daddy?" Emily asked her father. "Because if you've been bad, the bunnies surely won't help us."
"I'm always a good boy," Logan said.
"Really? That's not what Uncle James told me," Emily responded.
Logan blushed a deep red and Camille couldn't contain her laughter anymore.
Emily looked at her dad a little confused and he had no idea what to do or say at the time. He turned to his girlfriend for help and rolled his eyes. Camille tried to stop laughing long enough to talk to her little girl.
"Oh, sweetie," she said. "Your dad is a very good boy. Believe me. I know!"
"Hey, bunnies," Emily yelled on top of her lungs. "My dad is a good boy. Come and help me find the eggs. I want chocolate!"
"Hey, little lady," Logan said to her. "We need to be polite at all times, remember?"
She nodded her head and her curls bounced up and down her small shoulders.
"Pretty please?" She asked the bunnies cocking her head a little.
The bunnies nodded their head and hopped into the grass.
"Why does she need to be so adorable?" Kendall said.
"She takes after her dad, I suppose," Carlos answered chuckling. "Or at least, that's what girls say about him."
"Well, I sure can't resist her," Kendall said smiling.
"Me neither," Carlos said. "But I suppose her uncles can spoil her. It's up to Logie to say no to her."
"Let's get this over with," James said grumpily. "I'm almost cooked inside this costume."
"Well, hey, if it helps you, you're one hot bunny," Logan teased.
The other bunnies all giggled.
"Watch it, dad," James said in a grumpy tone.
Camille had already helped her little girl look for some of the eggs and now the bunnies were all hopping towards her.
"Need some help, Emily?" One of the bunnies asked her.
"Hey, Uncle James," Emily said to him. "Why are you dressed up as a bunny?"
"What!" James stuttered. "I'm not your Uncle James. I'm an Easter bunny. See!"
"No," Emily said crossing her arms. "You're Uncle James. You sound like him and you look like him."
Logan started to laugh so hard that he ended up coughing violently. Camille had to slap his back in order to make him stop laughing.
Emily wrapped her little arms around bunny "James" and put her cute little nose in the air.
"You even smell like Uncle James," she said.
James decided to give up the act and took of his bunny head.
"You're right, angel," he said. "It's me. We wanted to surprise you."
"It's funny," Emily said. "Uncle Kendall and Uncle Carlos, you can take your head of too now."
The boys removed their bunny heads all smiling at the little girl.
"Okay, let's get this show on the road," Logan said smiling at his daughter. He extended his hand and she grabbed it. "We still have a lot of work to do."
"Really?" Emily asked.
"Yes," Logan said to her. "And we also need to find a very special egg for mommy."
"We do?" Emily asked getting curious.
Camille and Logan locked eyes for a brief moment.
"What do you have up your sleeve, Logan Mitchell?" Camille asked him.
"You'll find out soon enough," Logan smirked.
