chapter 10

A NURSE BRINGS IN LOGAN’S lunch, which doesn’t look appealing whatsoever. Logan agrees, judging by the expression on his face.

“If you need to go and do anything, I’m happy to stay here with him,” I tell Tristan, wondering if he has work, or if Laura is okay.

“Are you sure?” he asks me, and I nod. I wonder if he has any other family, or anyone who gives him a hand when he’s in a tight spot with the kids, because it doesn’t look like it. “I might just go pick up Laura and bring her here so she can see Logan. I stayed here overnight last night and she’s been at home with Anne.”

“Go ahead,” I encourage. “I won’t leave his side. I had nothing planned today, so I’m not in any rush to leave.”

“I’ll bring you some lunch,” he tells me. “You must be getting hungry, and the café food here is terrible.”

“That’d be nice.”

He reaches out and touches my bare arm. “Seriously, Kat, thank you. You didn’t have to come here, and you sure as hell aren’t obligated to help, but I’m so grateful that you’re here. My family all lives across the country, so I don’t really have anyone to call when I’m in an emergency other than Jaxon, but he has his own problems right now.”

“It’s fine, Tristan,” I assure him, glancing over to Logan. “He’s a great kid.”

“He is,” he agrees, gently squeezing my arm before putting some space between us. “I’ll be back soon, Logan. I’m just going to pick up your sister and get some food.”

Logan glances down at his plate and says, “Can you bring me some too? Because, Dad, this looks . . .”

“I’ve got it covered, son,” he says, kissing Logan’s forehead. “I love you. Kat is going to stay with you, so look after her for me, okay?”

“Of course,” he replies, grinning up at his father.

Boom!

That sound?

That’s the sound of my ovaries exploding.

I didn’t even think I liked or wanted kids up until this moment, but Logan makes it hard to not want to have another three just like him. Tristan smiles at me on his way out, and I wait until he leaves before I turn to Logan. “I wonder if they sell board games at the gift store.”

I don’t want to leave him alone though, even for ten minutes, so I ask a passing nurse if it’s okay to take him with me to the gift store and back.

“No problem,” she tells me. “It’s just one floor down, so I don’t see why not.”

“Great,” I tell her, then look to Logan. “Come on, I’m going to carry you down one flight of stairs, and then we’re going to choose a few games to play.”

“I vote for Connect Four,” he says, smiling and sitting up. He lifts his arms for me to carry him. “Are you sure you can lift me? I’m heavy, and you’re kind of small.”

I’m a little on the petite side, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be able to lift him.
