Chapter 13 - *What Have We Become

All those years
One day changes everything, and
Gone and your life and the passion fades away
Saving for something
That you'll never see in your days
Shutting out everything that you need

(Looking through distorted eyes)

Beautiful disaster(Adding up a million lies)So much for "ever after"Building up your wallEverything you wantedFit the pieces into holes we used to crowd awayGiving in or leaving this nowNow we have what we have become

It's been two months since Logan first found out about Rory and Richie. His whole life had changed that first moment that he held his son, and yet nothing has changed. He gets up, goes to work, does his job extremely well, comes home to Odette and visits his kid in the hospital. He feels like crap on a daily basis. Odette sits at home while's he's at the hospital with Rory and the baby. His life is the same but split.

Today he and Rory sit side my side as she feeds Richie. It's never seemed such a beautiful experience until he watches her do it. When she's done she hands him to Logan to burp. He's cooing softly in Logan's arms when he decides to broach a difficult topic. Mostly because he knows their eyes will be too busy on the baby to make eye contact.

"So..." He says but needs a minute.

"So?" she questions.

"Can I ask you about Odette." He says

"Ask me about Odette? Aren't you the one married to her?"

"Ask you about her meeting Richard." He states. He's unsure and continues slowly. "She's been staying out of the way, out of respect for you, but I know she would love to meet him."

"I see." Is all she can muster. The realization that her son would have a stepmother has surprised her. She doesn't know why she didn't think about this before. He's married, but it had been just her and him for the last couple of months, like old times, well not like old times, but her and him these past few months taking care of Richie.

He doesn't push and she runs her hand through her hair, "If I'm honest with you, Logan, I'm kind of terrified of meeting her, or her meeting him."

"Why?"

"I had an affair with her husband and had a baby with him, and I mean, on a total selfish level what if Richie likes her better then me too?"

"Too?" he questions.

"You did, what if he does too?" She is playing with her sons little tiny foot. Still so sure that she couldn't hold onto a guy like him.

He puts his hand under her chin and lifts her head up to make her make eye contact with him, "This was never a contest, Ace." He removes his hand and she lowers her head again. "Plus, you're mom. He's not going to love anyone as much as you. Look at you and Lorelei."

"Look at you and Shira.." she counters raising her eyebrows

"You are defiantly not my mom."

"It's ok."
