Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 117


    Chapter 117: The Contract


    Serena brought Olivia’s paper up when she heard them getting out of the tub. Logan was sitting on


    Olivia’s bed. Both Oliver and Olivia were tucked in together and Logan was reading to them from White


    Fang by Jack London.


    “Olivia, you left this downstairs,” Serena said, handing her the paper.


    Olivia smiled and snatched the paper. “Right, Daddy Logan, this is for you,” she said handing him the


    paper. Logan nced at Serena. She shrugged and Logan looked over the paper. Serena had already


    read what Olivia wrote, and she wondered if Logan would understand the strange spellings Olivia had


    used. “This is a contract?” Logan asked, ncing at Serena again. “Mommy, do you have a pen?”


    Olivia asked. “I’ll get one,” Serena said. She backed out of the bedroom and grabbed a pen off her own


    night stand. Then she rejoined the kids and Logan.


    She handed the pen to Logan.


    “Any questions about what you’re signing?” Serena asked. Logan chuckled.


    “It seems that I am signing a paper contract that ensures I will be giving Olivia lots of gifts, now that I


    am her dad,” Logan said. “Is that right?” he turned to Olivia.


    “Yes,” she said with a nod. She pointed to the line she’d drawn at the bottom of the paper for him to


    sign. “I need lots of presents to prove you’re Mr. Daddy.”

    Logan chuckled and signed his name. Olivia snatched the contract from him and folded it up. She


    dropped it into the drawer of her nightstand. “Was there anything you needed from me, Oliver?” Logan


    asked. Oliver shook his head.


    “No,” he said. “You’re dad now, not uncle.” “Good” Logan said, ruffling Oliver’s hair. He opened the


    book again and began reading again.


    Serena stood in the doorway, watching Logan read to the kids. She’d seen him do it before in the


    hospital, but this was different.


    Olivia and Oliver began to nod off. Logan set the book aside when they were both sleeping soundly. “I


    should get Oliver to his room.” Serena said. Logan was quicker, though. He picked Oliver up and


    headed down the hall. Serena walked behind him to keep up Logan was a natural with the kids. They


    tucked Oliver in together. He was still asleep, but Logan handled him with such


    care. Serena was impressed, more than she’d been before.


    They left Oliver’s room and went back downstairs. Serena poured them each a ss of wine and they


    sat on the couch together,


    “Long few days,” Serena said with a sigh. Logan nodded, clinking his ss against hers.


    “Yes, it has been,” he agreed.


    “You didn’t need to sign that contract,” Serena said. “You know she is going to hold you to it.”


    “I know,” Logan said with a grin. “Maybe we should talk about a few things too.” Serena said. “Should


    we have a contract?” Logan asked, sipping his wine and raising an eyebrow. “Is this going to be a


    BDSM arrangement?”


    Laughing, Serena leaned forward to set her wine ss down on the coffee table. She curled her legs


    up underneath her and propped her elbow up on the back of the couch so she could look at Logan.


    think we need a contract. It would be nice to cover some of the basics, though.”


    “Agreed,” Logan said. “Your kids are going to try and push things along faster. I can already tell that.


    They clearly want us to be a family.” “Yes, I picked up on that with all the questions about us living


    together and having more kids,” Serena said with augh. “I know it is still early, but is that something


    you want?” Logan asked her, taking another sip of wine. “More kids?” she asked. “Logan, that isn’t


    something I can think of right now. There’s still a lot going on with the hospital and we have only just


    started working on this family concept…” Serena trailed off. “No, no,” Logan said. “That’s not what I


    meant. I meant about us living together.” Serenaughed nervously and then chewed on her lower lip.


    Her cheeks heated with a blush at the misinterpretation.


    “Oh,” she said softly. “You don’t need to rush to answer,” he said. Serena shrugged. “I think in the long


    run it would be better,” she said. “It would be easier. I just want to make sure that you and I are able to


    coexist.”


    Logan chuckled. “Yeah, I suppose that would be the best approach” he agreed. “I know you’ll be great


    with the kids. I know they will love you and you’ll take care of them and protect them. We both know,


    though, that the mate bond doesn’t mean we


    can make this work,” she said. Logan nodded, finishing his wine before he set the wine ss down.


    “So, what ground rules should we set?” Logan asked. “Well, I guess we should talk about the obvious,”


    she said. “I’m sure there will be times when you’ll be herete or something, and it would be convenient


    for you to spend the night. But I don’t want to give the kids the wrong idea. There is a yroom on the


    first floor that could be converted into a guest bedroom.” “That sounds good enough,” Logan said with a


    nod. “And, we didn’t really talk about it, but do you think you’d ever want to twins to stay with you and


    your mother for a weekend or something?” she asked. Serena looked down at herp. She wasn’t sure


    she wanted to know the


    answer to that, but if she and Logan were going to co-parent, they needed to set certain presidents in


    the event that their rtionship didn’t work out. “Only if you’refortable with that,” Logan said. He


    reached across the couch and put his hand on Serena’s knee. She looked down at his hand, smiling


    and biting her bottom lip. “I don’t know, honestly,” she admitted. “But I think I should give you the


    option. I mean, if we are in a rtionship, then it would be nice to spend as much time with the kids


    together. But I don’t want you to feel like you can’t have time with them alone, like I’m looking over your


    shoulder.”


    “I don’t think that,” Logan assured.


    “Mommy, daddy?” Olivia asked from the stairs. Logan pulled his hand away from Serena’s knee. They


    both looked over to the stairs. Olivia was walking slowly down the stairs and rubbing her eyes. “What’s


    wrong, honey?” Serena asked, patting the couch. “I can’t sleep,” Olivia said. She came over to the


    couch and sat right between Logan and Serena Serena softly ran her fingers through Olivia’s hair. The


    little girl leaned back on the couch, resting her head against Logan’s shoulder. “Were you having bad


    dreams?” Serena asked. “No,” Olivia said. “I just couldn’t sleep. I wanted to be down here with you


    two.” “We‘re just talking,” Serena said. “Nothing exciting happening here.” “Yea, but, you’re together. I


    was all alone up there,” Olivia pointed out. Serena and Logan exchanged looks.


    “Do you want to snuggle up with Oliver?” she asked. “He’s very tired,” Olivia grumbled. Serena


    chuckled, smoothing out Olivia’s hair again. Of course, Olivia would check on Oliver first if she couldn’t


    sleep. She loved her twin brother. She probably heard Serena and Logan talking while checking on


    Oliver and when she couldn’t wake him up, she came downstairs to see what they were doing. “Do you


    want us to bring you back to bed?” Logan asked. Olivia sighed, leaning more heavily on him. “No,” she


    said softly. “I want to stay here with you.” Logan looked at Serena. She gave a nod. “Alright, you can sit


    down here with us,” Serena said. “Just until you get to sleep again.”


    “Okay,” Olivia said softly


    She was drowsy, so Serena didn’t feel like she had to stop her conversation with Logan entirely. She


    spoke more softly, though.


    “Just let me know if you want more one-on-one time with them,” she said. “I’m sure they’d enjoy it, and


    sometimes I feel bad about not being around so much because of my job. I think it would be good for


    you and them to have that extra time with a parent.”


    Logan nodded, wrapping his arm around Olivia. She slumped over into hisp.


    “As the situations arise, we can figure out what makes sense;” Logan said. “I’ll be honest, I’m probably


    going to be spending a lot more time around here.” Serena grinned. “Yes, now that the twins know


    you’re their father, they will always be looking for reasons for you to be around” she said. Logan


    reached across the couch and took Serena’s hand in his. “I don’t mean just for them,” he said. Serena


    blushed and looked away quickly “Are you two going to get married?” Olivia asked, perking up and


    wide awake suddenly
