Chapter 64: The Nursery
When Logan got home, the front hallway was filled with half open boxes of baby things. There was an unassembled crib, a changing table, tons of toys, a swing, and a pop–up playpen. Everything in the hallway was a new addition. None of it had been there when the twins had come over. Holly must have brought it all home with her!
From upstairs, Logan heard Holly and her friends moving furniture around, scraping it across the nice hard wood floors of his house! Every time he heard a scrape, he winced.
Flying up the stairs, Logan found Holly and her friends in the bedroom Logan had
allowed the twins to stay in. Most of the furniture in the room had already been shoved out into the hallway. One of Holly‘s friends had paint chips and was pressing colors to the wall, asking Holly what she thought would look good. “What‘s going on?” Logan asked from the doorway. All of Holly‘s friends stopped smiling and giggling. “There you are, baby.” Holly said, sashaying across the room. She threw her arms around his neck and tried to kiss him. Logan pulled away. “What are you doing?” he said, nodding towards the half empty room and the furniture in the hall.
Holly released him, putting her hands on her belly. “Well, it is still early, but this pregnancy won‘t last forever. I wanted to get a head start on the nursery,” she said, beaming at Logan.
Logan glared at her friends. “Can we have a minute?” he asked them. They looked to Holly for permission. “Go on,” she said. “I want you guys to pick out the color scheme and find a good mural to paint on the wall.” “Will do,” they gushed, heading out and going down to the living room. Logan looked at the furniture that was in the hallway. The beds the twins had used so recently. Something in him really hated seeing the furniture he associated with them being cast aside. “Where are you going to put all this stuff?” he asked, motioning to those beds. It didn‘t escape him that Holly had chosen the twins‘ room to become the nursery.

her eyes. “I know what is going on in my body. I don‘t need you or anyone else telling me what to do about my own body!” Logan sighed. He‘d known she was going to take things so personally. “I believe you do,” he said calmly. Frustration wouldn‘t help in this situation, and it was already turning into a fight. He hadn‘t even started the conversation yet! “I want you and the baby to be healthy, though.” Saying the words, he knew
“Setting up a nursery isn‘t a priority of mine right now.” That was the wrong thing to say! Holly put her hands on her hips and glared at Logan. “This is our baby!” she snapped. “You have to make us a priority! The pack can wait!” Logan‘s anger and frustration flared again! Holly

reminded her. “No matter what I want for myself, what else I have in my life, the pack comes first!” Holly rolled her eyes. “Why am I even having a baby with you?” she asked. “Why are you?” Logan countered. Holly‘s jaw dropped open. “I can‘t believe you just asked that!” she hissed, throwing a pair of balled up baby socks at him. “Dol have to dignify that with a response?” “Maybe,” Logan said with a shrug. “You told me you were on birth control, we‘ve never
