Second Chances

It cant be

Tension once again filled the air as we drove back to the hotel.I would be lying if I said I wasn't really heartbroken to hear that Logan may be a daddy, and had been holding in tears since he blurted it out. I was also really curious as to what else he was going to say but too terrified to ask.
Once Aiden puts the SUV into park, I fling my door open and flee from the vehicle taking off into a run.
"Gracie!" Logan shouts. I don't turn, I just keep going only stopping once I reach the room door. Realizing I don't have a key I stand and wait. Kyle is the first to approach, he reaches around me and using the key-card to unlock the door he puts his hand on the small of my back ushering me in. I rush straight into the bathroom and lock myself in before I let the tears start to flow.

"Grace sweetie?" Aiden knocks on the door.
"What?" I sob out.
"Can you come out here and talk with us?" He asks. Taking a deep breath, I wipe away the tears, splash water on my face and plaster on a smile before opening the door. Aiden steps away from the door and I look around.
"Logan will be here in a few moments." Aiden says. Kyle is lounging on the bed and when I meet his eyes, he pats next to him. Kicking off my heels, I head over to the bed feeling exhausted. I sit down where Kyle patted and he puts an arm around me.
"Hey baby doll, you okay?" He asks.
"I'll survive. Just too much going on." I quietly say. Aiden joins us on the other side of me and pats my leg, leaving his hand on my thigh.
"Do you want to talk about this?" Aiden gently asks.
"Yes." I reply. Kyle kisses my temple before getting out of bed.
"I'll go get him." Kyle says heading out the door. Aiden and I sit in silence and when the door opens again, Kyle and Logan walk in. Logan looks guilty as the door shuts with a click. "Cupcake I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything but I guess something inside me wanted you to know." Logan starts, pausing to look at me before taking a deep breath and continuing. "Gracie... the girl that I may have been incredibly stupid with, is Lilian Carter.She means absolutely nothing to me but if the baby is mine, I will step up. The thing is that I don't think she's mine." He finishes.
I can't believe this. "Are you serious?" I ask calmly.
"Yeah." He sadly replies.
"Why?" I ask.
"Why? Because I'm completely stupid." he answers.
I take a deep breath and remind myself that high school and college is over. "Okay." I say instead of what I really want to do.
"Okay?" Logan repeats almost in question.
"What else do you want?!" I raise my voice slightly.
"I don't know, whatever you're really thinking." He replies.
"What I'm really thinking is that it's none of my business. You're a big boy making your own decisions and who you sleep with is your right. The only reason you're even here is because I'm paying you."

With that said, I grab my clothes for bed and slam the bathroom door shut. I was so irritated with myself, I had let my emotions get the best of me and lied.
What was really on my mind is all the bullying I took at the hands of that girl through high school when the boys weren't around. The shit I put up with in college and the fact that Logan had promised, no matter what that he would never be with her. He had been the reason behind her hate towards me in the first place.
I let out a loud scream which makes me feel better.
"Baby doll are you okay?" Kyle knocks.
"Yeah. I'll be out in out in a moment." I say.
"Take your time." He gently says. Taking a deep breath I finish getting ready.
I need to let it go, high school and college is over.
Before Brittany went missing it had been five years since I even talked to them.

"I'm sorry." I say looking around the room.
"Cupcake, I'm sorry. I should have kept my promise." He says, but I shake my head.
"It's over. Before Brittany went missing, I hadn't even talked to y'all in five years." I say. It's silent for a moment before Logan comes over hugging me close.
"Cupcake, I'm truly sorry. If it's any consolation, I really don't believe the baby's mine." He whispers.
"Why do you say that?" I ask looking up.
"It's a girl first off, second I used protection." He says.
"So?" I question.
"There's not a single female in my family besides those who have married in." He says. "Stranger things have happened and condoms break" I say.
"Sorry." He mumbles letting me go. I shake my head.
"It doesn't matter, y'all will finish this job and we will once again split ways. Anyways, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." I say.
"You're wrong. We will be around long after your sister is home. We need to sit down and talk but we're not going anywhere." Aiden firmly states. I don't know what to say so I just nod and climb into the bed.
"Baby doll, we will be just right out the door if you need us." Kyle says as they head out.

***********************************************************

Logan:
Stepping out into the hall, I run my hand down my face.
"You've got a lot of work to do." Aiden grounds out.
"You're lucky she's one to easily forgive." Kyle adds.
"Tell me about it. I also better pray the baby's not mine." I say.
"Do you believe what you told Grace?" Kyle asks.
"Yeah. Look at my family, and I used a condom." I sigh. I really hope I'm not the first one to produce a girl and then lose Grace.

Kyle:
What a shitty fucking night. And now I'm worried we may just lose Grace without even having her first. "Well at least we will know tomorrow." I say, feeling exhausted.
"If she turns out to be mine, I'll lose Grace forever." Logan sadly says.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. It's late. Let's go to bed, between all the baby drama, we still have a sister to find." Aiden says. I agree. I just want sleep at this time.

Aiden:
"Oh and I'm getting cuddle time tonight." I add before letting us back in the room.
I hear grumbles from Kyle and even weakly from Logan. Ignoring it all, I strip down to my boxers and climb into bed with my girl, really hoping Logan's playboy ways haven't just cost us her, once again.
