The Darker Side of Me

Chapter 31: Happy Thoughts

"So how was it?" I asked.

"It's been really fun," Logan said happily. I was glad to hear his voice so cheery. He wasn't on patrol so we were on the phone and they all came home tomorrow. "We're bringing home Austin who is 9, Mark who is 6, Charlie who is 10, James who is 8, and little Sophia Marie who is 3. She's really smart and reminds me of you a bit."

"Oh yeah? How?"

"She's beautiful and she has a wicked imagination. She's trying to write a book about fairies and its really good."

"Awwe, so cute. How are all of you, are you eating ok?"

"Yes."

"And staying hydrated?"

"Yes..."

"And your all keeping safe, right?"

"Noah, were ok," he assured with a light chuckle.

"Sorry," I apologized.

"Don't be. It must just be your protective nature and motherly instincts."

I nodded even though he couldn't see me and walked downstairs to the kitchen to make popcorn. I was home alone because Dustin had to go back to live on campus at his college and mom was out at some art thing. I decided that since I was the only one in the house, I was going to saunter around in sweatpants and a sports bra. I took the plastic off the bag of popcorn and stuck it in the microwave for 2 minutes as instructed. It started and I leaned on the counter waiting for the beep.

"So what's on your agenda tonight?" he asked suddenly.

"Well I was doing homework but then you called and I stopped and now I'm making popcorn."

"Oh, sorry babe."

"Don't be, I was getting bored anyways."

"I see."

I took the popcorn bag out of the microwave and opened it, receiving the explosion of butter smell. I inhaled deeply and sighed in content. I poured the popcorn into a bowl and brought it and my phone over to the couch. I sat down and turned my phone on speaker. Logan and I ended up talking for a while before I go super tired. It was only 5 o'clock but I was literally falling asleep on the phone. Logan said he would call me later and I went to bed.

I woke up at about 8 o'clock to the sound of my phone blaring. I looked at the screen and saw the picture of Logan and I kissing that he secretly took. Apparently he also set it as his photo ID for when he called. I picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hello beautiful," Logan replied cheerily.

"Hey."

"You ok?"

"Yeah, I just woke up."

"Oh, sorry hon. You want me to call back later?"

"No it's ok. I should be getting up now anyways. I haven't eaten in hours and I'm starving."

I walked into the kitchen and popped a Michaelina's pasta into the microwave. I waited for it to be done and brought it into the dining room. I put my phone on speaker and set it beside me on the table. We talked as I ate and he told me more about the kids I would have to help take care of until they are old enough to change. Logan said that they would have to be at least 11 before they could fully change into a wolf. Charlie was already showing signs of being ready for it since he was already 10. I got to talk to Hunter, Jaxon and Tony for a bit before they went out on patrol. The kids were in bed already so Logan said it was just him.

"So..." he trailed off.

"So?" I said questioningly.

"Anyone home with you tomorrow?"

"Nope, Dustin has weekend classes so he's staying on campus until Tuesday and mom is at her art thing until about 9 tomorrow night. Why?"

"I'm not going back to the pack house tomorrow, the girls are starting to piss me off, so I was wondering if I could pop by there instead."

"Yeah, for sure."

"Great. Well I gotta go, Sophia claims that she can't sleep and wants me to read her a bedtime story."

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow morning. I love you."

"Love you too, bye."

"Bye."

I hung up and headed back upstairs to my room. I popped in season 1 of Criminal Minds and Lao back o my pillow. Although I was watching the TV,no wasnt paying attention to it. All I could think was that Logan was coming home tomorrow. The pack house was all clean and stocked up for tomorrow nights dinner, and we were getting kids. I couldn't wait to be able to take care of them and treat them like my own. Being the alpha female, it was my job to take care of them. Of course not on my own, Emma and Sarah are obligated to help me too. But I've always though about what it would be like to have kids. But not just my own. Recently I've been thinking a lot about what it would be like to have Logan's kids. He was always looking after everyone and he was so good at it. It got me thinking fbwht he would be like as a father. And when he told me tonight that he went to go and read Sophia a bedtime story, I couldn't help but think about what our kids would look like and how great of a father he would be to them.

As these thoughts filled my head I slowly fell asleep.

~~pathetic again I know I'm sorry.... next one will be better I promise!!
