Chapter 138: Pumpkin Harvesting

“What do you want to do now?” Logan asked Serena as they walked off the front porch. Serena bit her lower lip. “Pumpkin mead truck?” she asked. Logan smirked. “Alright,” he said. He took her hand and led her back towards the festivities. The carnival games had shut down, but Serena could still hear sounds of celebration from the pack. Beyond the hay maze and pumpkin patch, there was a dance floor set up. String lights were hung around it up high and then there were jack-o-lanterns carved with candles

flickering in them around the edge of the dance floor on the ground.

Live music played, and there were already several couples dancing. There was an old pickup truck parked near the dance floor. It had a massive barrel built over the bed of the truck and there were taps coming out of the side. Many pack members were standing around the truck with metal beer mugs, drinking and toasting. Beside the truck was a huge table full of all kinds of foods and desserts. “This is amazing,” Serena said. “Here, try the mead,” Logan said. He went to the truck and got them each a mug. “There are a couple different flavors, but the pumpkin is the best.” Serena sniffed the foaming drink and then took a sip. She moaned appreciatively. “Wow, this is incredible,” she said, taking another big sip. “Be careful,” Logan warned. “It is pretty intense. You’ll get drunk way too fast off this stuff. I don’t think either of us are ready for a repeat of our last drunken party.”

Serena creased her brow at Logan. She wasn’t sure what he meant by that. Was he saying he wasn’t ready to take their relationship to a physical level or was he saying he didn’t want more kids?

Serena sipped her mead a little more slowly.

The next day marked the pumpkin harvesting event. It was another event geared towards kids, but Serena planned on getting her own pumpkin too so she could carve it with the kids.

he told her. Serena smiled. “I know that,” she said. “But something about it still bothered you,” he said. Serena sighed, glancing up at the kids who were patting pumpkins and lifting them to test their weights. They were chattering with each other about why certain pumpkins were better than others. “I was just thinking about the progression of our relationship,” she admitted. “I mean, I don’t think either of us are rushing to have more kids, but..” she trailed off. “Mommy, I found the biggest

held it under his other arm. “Now we have to find a pumpkin for mommy,” Olivia said. “We’ll find you the best one.” Oliver said. Serena laughed. “Okay, go find me a pumpkin,” she said. “But what?” Logan asked, picking up their conversation again. Serena smiled shyly. “Does that mean everything is off the table?” she asked. Logan raised an eyebrow at her. “Oh,” he said. He chuckled and smirked. “No, absolutely not.” Serena bit her lower lip. “Okay,” she said, her cheeks flushing. “Mommy, we got you the best pumpkin over here,” Olivia said, getting their attention again. Serena and Logan went to the twins again and Serena cut the final pumpkin. She held it in her arms and the four of them left the pumpkin patch. “There’s a cart over there,” Logan said, nodding to where there were some pumpkin carts lined up. Serena put her pumpkin in the cart and wheeled it back over to Logan so he could set the twins’

was sitting on a bench watching the kids bob for apples. “They’re bobbing for apples,” she said, nodding to them. A usually messy game, the wolf that had organized the bobbing for apples had enough foresight to provide plastic ponchos and shower caps to keep the kids and their clothes as dry as possible. Logan sat on the bench beside Serena and slipped his arm around her shoulders. Serena leaned her head on him and they watched the kids together. “I’m so glad you got the whole weekend to spend with them,” she said. “I know there are a lot of demands for your time, especially during a pack event like this.” “Not this time,” Logan assured. “Carson was
