Aurora had looked at Logan who was busy getting ready while she had put on a bit of makeup. Aurora had known that Logan would eventually have to introduce her to his family but she didn't know when it would be needed. But after their last encounter with his sister, Aurora was forced to now take in that. Even if she didn't want to.
"I'm sure my mother and brother will love you," Logan said as Aurora smiled.
"Tell me about your brother. What is he like?" Aurora asked.
"Wyatt is pretty chilled. He's still young though. He's like still in high school. My mother managed to have a biological child when I was like 7 or 8. Wyatt is practically 15 at the moment," Logan said.
"15 and you're 23. That will seem to be an 8 year difference. Do you get along well?" Aurora asked as Logan shrugged his shoulders.
"Too big of a difference. But let's get going. Before my mother starts with questions," Logan said as the two of them were off.
Listening to the music in the car, Logan had saw as Aurora was drinking water and swallowing pills. Knowing her headache was pretty bad still being on the medication. He had shaken his head as she smiled at him and they stopped at an house just outside of Richmond. Aurora had gotten out of the car as she smiled at Logan and they went into the house.
"Mom? Wyatt?" Logan said as he saw how Samantha came down the stairs.
"Hey! You actually made it! Ah, Mom is going to be so happy. Mom!" Samantha said as their mother came out.
"Logan, it's so nice to see you again, Son. How are you?"
"I'm doing well. Mom, this is my girlfriend, Aurora. Aurora, this is my mother, Layla," Logan said.
"It's nice meeting you, Ma'am," Aurora said.
"Oh please, dear. Call me Layla. Sit down. Logan, pour the girls a drink," Layla said as Aurora felt how her head was heavy.
"Excuse me for a second," Aurora said as she went out.
"Sam, you pour the drinks. Nothing for Aurora. I'll be right back," Logan said as he went out at the back door.
Seeing how Aurora was sitting on a log in the background he had smiled. Remembering the place as a home to him was something completely different than he thought.
"You know, my life was hell when Layla adopted me. I was in a bad spot. I was 4 at the time. I didn't think it will be a good thing and then she adopted me. And then Samantha. And then came Wyatt's birth. She was so happy. Finally a biological child. And not just her adoptive children. It... " Logan said as he saw how Aurora tilted her head forward.
"Are you okay?" Logan asked as Aurora nodded.
"Aurora, hey. Look at me," Logan said as he sat down next to her and lightly touched her back as Aurora looked at him.
"What's wrong?" Logan asked.
"My head is just..."
"Hurting?" Logan asked as Aurora shook her head.
"Feeling heavy," Aurora said.
"I can understand that. We shouldn't have come. Wyatt and Samantha are going to drive you insane," Logan said.
"Your family needs to know me. Need to get to know me," Aurora said.
"You're hell right about that. Here. Drink up," Samantha said as she handed them two cups.
"Sam. I told you not to bring Aurora alcohol. She's on pretty strong medication for the moment. Allow her to just take some time off from alcohol. She, anyway, doesn't drink a lot. Where is Wyatt?" Logan asked as his brother came out.
"Hello! Your girlfriend, I'm guessing," Wyatt said.
"Yeah. Could you tell Samantha to back off a bit with the alcohol?" Logan asked as Wyatt took a cup and downed it.
"Wyatt! I didn't mean you should drink. Good hell," Logan said.
"Listen, if you're girlfriend is too spoiled to visit don't bring her. But don't in general avoid Mom. She feels it. And she doesn't necessarily..."
"Samantha back off. Aurora is struggling with sinus making it difficult and I definitely also know that you would come with alcohol and Wyatt would act like an idiot. Which I didn't want Aurora to experience that," Logan said.
"Leave her alone then. Count her out," Samantha said.
"I'm going to call Noah to come and pick me up. You shouldn't have to struggle like this," Aurora said as she grabbed her phone.
"Rory, no. I'll go and drop you off then. I..."
"Don't," Aurora said as the call went through to Noah.
"Aurora, how are you?" Noah asked.
"What are the chances that you can pick me up? I'm right outside of Richmond," Aurora said.
"Address?" Noah asked.
"19 Chance and Grace Street," Aurora said.
"Yeah of course. I'm on my way," Noah said ending the call.
"Stay. I'll be fine. I'll ask Noah to drop me off and then you get to spend some time with your family. Do it. Don't not do it because of me. That isn't fair towards them nor you. I'll see you in the morning," Aurora said as she went out of the house.

Arriving back home, Aurora had smiled at Noah as she got out of the car, but heard him call her name.
"Will you be okay?" Noah asked.
"Ill be fine, Noah. Go. Go and enjoy you're Christmas break. I'll be fine. Go now," Aurora said as Noah drove off.
Exhaling Aurora had seen how Caden was waiting outside. She shook her head as sh had felt how her while body shifted. She knew she had to get some rest in while she also knew Caden won't allow her to be on her own. She had shaken her head while she got her car keys our of her purse.
"Aurora," Mason said as Aurora turned around and saw him.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Aurora asked.
"Logan called and don't be pissed at him. He's just protective," Mason said as Aurora looked behind her, still to see Caden.
"He's really getting on my nerves now. I just want to get away from him," Aurora said.
"Got it. Saltzman! Would you stop freaking the poor girl out? She just wants some time on her own," Mason said.
"That why you're here?" Caden asked.
"Do I need to remind you that I'm in a relationship? Or are you just the kind of person who is going to stalk me for the rest of my life? Stop it. Mason is here because Logan is worried about me. You're here because you can't take it that I'm happy with anyone else. Just go," Aurora said as Caden walked off.
"Good job. You stood up for yourself. But you really don't have to be on your own," Mason said as Aurora got a message.
Olivia - me, Madison and Ethan are on our way. Movies, popcorn and hot chocolate.
"I won't be alone. I have friends to keep me company. Go. I'll be okay. Thank you for caring," Aurora said as she went into the apartment.
