Chapter Ten

DIRK looked out the window again, hoping to see Aiden’s van heralding the return of Logan with Sarah. Still nothing. He paced to the front hall and checked out the side window. Then he made himself go to the kitchen to put on another pot of coffee.

He skirted Dev and Zack, who were sitting around the coffee table, talking quietly together. In the kitchen he found a variety of sweets and casseroles on the counter.

It was a morbid repeat of the day they’d brought the triplets home. Only he wasn’t with Logan, and his lover needed him really badly right now. Of course, Logan had also needed him to look after the kids here, so here he was.

Thank goodness everyone had shown up after he’d called Aiden. He was all keyed up and tense, and the triplets could feel that and had been cranky ever since Logan had shared the news. He really needed Logan to get back. He needed to be there with him.

“Aiden is on his way with them. Sarah had to be sedated because she kept vomiting, so it took a while.” Dev sighed. “God, this sucks. This sucks so bad. Poor little girl.”

“Oh God.” He ran his hand through his hair, feeling so helpless. He’d lost Melly’s mom at childbirth, so while she had no mom either, Melly didn’t remember her. It wasn’t the same thing at all. He gave Dev a hug. “Thanks for letting me know. I was beginning to worry.” Beginning to. He snorted.

“Do you want us to stay for a few days? Help out? We totally will,” Dev offered.

God, they had the most wonderful friends in the world.

“I don’t know. I don’t know what Logan’s going to want. Or what Sarah will need. Can we play it by ear?”

“Of course. I don’t know if he’s going to want to stay with her at Rebecca’s. If so you’ll need help with the wee ones. You tell us. We love you.”

“You guys are the best. Really.” He took another hug from Dev. “Thank you.” He honestly didn’t know how he’d have survived the wait without them.

“That’s what friends are for. They’re here.”

He nodded jerkily and gave Dev a last squeeze. He all but ran to the front hall and opened the door for them. He peered out.

Logan opened the van door and lifted Sarah out, the ten-year-old looking like nothing but a tired little girl. Poor sweet thing. He couldn’t imagine anything worse happening to her. Melly came to his side and held on to his hand. He squeezed gently. They would do everything they could to help Logan and Sarah with this. He knew Melly would do anything for her beloved Sarah.

“Daddy? What’s wrong?”

He went down on his haunches and looked her in the eyes. “You know how your mommy went to heaven when you were just born? Well, Sarah’s mommy just went to heaven, and Sarah is really sad.”

“Oh. Oh, I will hug her.”

Logan shook his head as he came in,
