Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 70: Recovery

The next time Logan woke up. Holly had returned. She was sitting by his bed reading a magazine. Logan sighed, turning slightly on the bed to get a better look at her. She didn’t look up from what she was reading, just kept bouncing the foot on the leg she had crossed over the other. Holly had been good for him and good to him. He hadn’t always agreed with her, and he didn’t like the catty, jealous behavior she was exhibiting, but she had still stuck by him. Besides, she was going to have his baby. That was something that, no matter how mixed his own feelings were, he couldn’t just walk away from. “You’re awake,” Holly said, looking up from her magazine. Logan gave a nod, then winced as his throat smarted. “Could you get me some water?” he asked. Holly sighed, looking displeased at needing to do him a favor. She nodded though and left the room. While Holly was gone, the hospital room door opened again and Dana came in with the twins.

“Logan!” Olivia said, running up to the side of his bed. He smiled, propping himself up as much as he could. “You’re hurt.” “I’m okay,” he assured. Oliver came up beside Olivia. “You sound funny,” he said. Logan motioned to the bandage on his throat. “My neck got hurt,” he said.

She took a seat in a chair across the room.. “Oh year!” Olivia said. She produced a book. “Can you read with us?” Logan smiled, feeling lighter and happier than he had in a long time. Using what strength he had, he reclined himself on the pillows.

bed. “Yes, I think that is a good idea,” Holly said snidely. Dana had a twin on each arm. She missed Olivia turning around and sticking her tongue out at Holly, but Logan didn’t miss it. “Thank you for bringing them for a visit,” Logan said with a wave. “We’ll come back with mommy to finish the book,” Olivia said with an assured nod. Logan looked

at her in the first place. It seemed so long ago that he had been yelling at her and making unfair accusations. Sighing, Logan knew he would have to apologize. He would have to make a real apology if he was going to set things right. He couldn’t just thank her for saving his life. It

shouldn’t encourage that,” Holly admonished. Logan shrugged, drinking more water. The more he talked, the more his throat ached. “Holly, you are acting like because we are having a kid, I can’t be involved in any other child’s life. You’re acting like because we are together, I can’t have contact with any other female.
