"Wow...it's beautiful..." I say as I look endlessly at the lake in front of us. The beach stretches for miles and miles and the lake looks like it stretches forever and ever. I can hardly see the land on the other side of the lake due to it's tremendous size.

"Yeah, I agree...the water feels nice..." Logan says as she slips off her sandals and steps into the water. I decide to do the same but jump back as I feel the really cold water on my feet.

She laughs.

"It's not funny! The water's cold!" I defend myself. She only shakes her head as she reaches her hand out to me. I smile and take it as I step into the water again and appreciate it's coldness this time.

It's another hot day.

The water really does feel nice.

"This was a good idea. Coming up here for the past week and a half," I tell her as I look over towards her. She immediately nods as she lets go of my hand to pull her still very blonde hair back into a ponytail.

She got it dyed not that long ago.

I wonder if she'll stop dying it soon. I would like to see it in its natural state at some point.

"Daddy! Can we build a sand castle!" I hear a little voice say from behind us. I turn around and see a little girl pouncing on her dad, begging him to play with her. He smiles and nods and they proceed to build a sand castle.

Logan's hand slips into mine again.

"Hey Kim," she starts.

"Yeah?"

"Let's have a baby..." she says.

I just look at her with my mouth hanging, not knowing what I should say. To say that what she said was random...would be an understatement. It caught me completely off guard. I can feel my face gradually grow hot and red as she continues to give me that bright expression, making me even more embarrassed.

"What?" is all I can muster up. She laughs a little with that same dorky facial expression of hers.

"Let's have a baby," she repeats. "...and bring them here one day..." she says, more softly this time.

I can't tell if she's being serious or not.

Yes. I've thought about having children in the future, and I would love it if Logan and I will be together when it happens...but she can't be serious right now...right? She's leaving for New York in two short months. We can't right now.

The timing wouldn't be right.

"I'm sorry...did I make you uncomfortable?" she asks me, growing more concerned this time as I continue to not say anything to her. I shake my head.

"No, it's not like that. It's just...it was random, that's all..." I tell her.

"Well...do you think...maybe one day...it'll be a possibility?" she asks me, hesitantly. "I'm not saying it has to be like...right now or something...I just meant like in the future...do you want to have a baby...with me...?" she asks me with a red face as she rubs the back of her neck.

Aw.

Now she's all flustered.

It makes me smile.

"Maybe one day...but for today...it's just us..." I tell her before I tug on her hand, making her come closer to me so I can reach up to caress her cheek and lean up into her to press my lips against hers.
