Coming Home For Christmas
Chapter 21

Logan's

P.O.V.

"How's the packing going, babe?"

"I've packed five pairs of knickers since you last asked me that question, Logan just please leave me alone and let me pack in peace" Lacey says sounding annoyed and I chuckled.

"Do you need any help, love?"

I ask as I walk over to the open cupboard and pull out a sexy little red number from her drawer.

Damn, I wouldn't mind seeing my sexy girl wear this for me one day.

"No, I'm fine, thanks"

She says as I walk over to her.

"I think you should pack this one so you can model it for me on Christmas Eve, it's a gift that I'd definitely love to unwrap"

"Huh, what are you talking about?"

Lacey briefly looked up at me before looking down at my hands and gasping when she saw the sexy, red, lace bra and thong set I was holding. "Oh my god, Logan, give me those"

Lacey snatched the underwear set out of my hand and threw them on the bed as I chuckled.

"You're unbelievable, Logan"

"Oh come on, babe, they don't even look like they've ever been worn"

"That's because they haven't"

"Well, maybe you should break them in for me then"

I say as I move closer to Lacey and try to nuzzle my face in her neck but she moves away from me before I could.

"Logan, you're seriously starting to annoy me and considering the mood I'm in right now, it's not a good thing for you"

Lacey said as she looked up at me with a glare on her cute little face while I smiled down at my beautiful girl who looked like she wanted to murder me.

"Calm down, love, I'm only joking with you"

I said as I gently rubbed her back.

I wasn't joking with her but she didn't need to know that.

Lacey seems extremely agitated and stressed out and has been ever since we came home to find her grandparents were here and her mood is probably not being helped by me and how happy and excited I am. "Come here, babe"

I sat down on the bed and pulled Lacey onto my lap.

I fully expected her to put up a fight or to get up and sit down next to me on the bed but she didn't, instead, she just snuggled herself closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder.

I smiled as I gently caressed her hair with one of my hands while my other hand gently caressed her thigh.

"You need to relax, love, it's not good for your health to get this stressed out and wound up"

"I can't relax, Logan, I'm nervous as heck about going back home"

"What are you nervous about?"

I ask her knowing full well why she's feeling so nervous but I wanted her to talk to me.

I want Lacey to normalise talking about her issues and problems and I want her to know that it's ok to express her feelings with me.

"Everything...I'm nervous about everything, Logan, I'm nervous about going home and seeing my family again, I'm nervous about seeing Luca and Dylan again"

She says and my hand instantly grips her thigh at the mention of that prick's name.

Even though Dylan is gay and Lacey belongs to me, I still can't help but feel jealous and angry whenever she mentions his name.

"I'm nervous about how everyone is going to react when they find out we've got three kids together and how they're going to treat not only them but us, not to mention I'm a nervous bluddy wreck about how our babies are gonna react if anyone is nasty and horrible with any of us...our kids aren't exactly nice or pleasant with anyone who messes with us, Logan"

"Don't worry yourself so much, love, our families will adore them, I promise you"

I say as I kiss her forehead.

"How do you know?".

Lacey asks as she looks up at me with worried eyes and a worried expression on her face.

It killed me to see her like this because she shouldn't have to feel this way, my woman shouldn't be worrying about such trivial things.

"I just do, love...I know our families will love and adore our triplets but even if they do react negatively which I know they won't but if they do, then it's their loss, not ours"

"But the triplets are so excited about finally having more family around them, Logan...I don't want them to feel let down or hurt and I certainly don't want their precious little hearts to be broken either" "That won't happen, babe, trust me"

"How do you know?"

Lacey asks me again, this time sounding annoyed.

I chuckle slightly as I lift my hand up from her thigh and gently cup her face.

"Because we're their parents, sweetheart and we'll make sure it won't happen....after all, it's our job to protect our babies from harm, right?"

"I guess"

Lacey lets out a sigh as she runs a hand through her hair.

"What's on your mind, love?"

I ask Lacey when I saw she had her thinking face on.

I was fearing that she was changing her mind about returning to New York and I hoped to god I was wrong but her next words proved my suspicions right.

"Maybe I made a hasty decision about going back home"

"What did you just say?"

"You heard me, Logan...I don't think I'm ready to go back home and face everyone just yet"

"Yes, you are babe, you're just nervous that's all"

I say whilst holding her close to me.

"I don't think this is just nerves, Logan"

"Then what is it?"

I ask and she shrugs her shoulders.

"I don't know"

"Look Lacey babe, you've got nothing to be worried or nervous about, do you hear me?...I promised you that I'd be there by your side every step of the way and it's a promise that I plan on keeping until the day I die" I gently place a kiss on her forehead and juicy lips before standing up with Lacey in my arms and placing her on the bed.

"Finish packing your stuff, love while I go and check on the kids"

"Ok"

She says while letting out a sigh.

"Oh and don't forget that sexy little number, babe, I meant it when I said I want you to model it for me" "Urgh!!, get out"

Lacey chuckles as she throws something at me but I quickly dodged it and ran out of the room laughing...

I headed towards Teddy's room first to see how she was doing and if she was getting anywhere with her packing but her room was empty,

so I headed towards the boy's bedroom but before I could enter, I heard Logan Junior's annoyed voice.

"Just remember guys, if mum finds out about this then I had nothing to do with it"

"Why? are you scared of our mum, Lo?"

Dayton teases his brother.

"Of course not, Dayton, I just don't want my mum to think I tricked her when I didn't, this was all you two and uncle Ryker's idea" What the hell?..

What was my brother's idea?.

"Oh come on Lo, you're acting like we lied when we didn't, we just stretched the truth a little, that's all"

"Dayton's right, Logan, uncle Ryker really is moving back to America, so technically we haven't done anything wrong"

"No, you just pretended to be upset and angry so that mum would agree to go back to New York with Logan, Ryker and his family" These brats..

I can't believe they tricked their mom like this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy and ecstatic that Lacey has decided to come back home with our kids but I wanted her to want to come back on her own and not just agree because the dynamic trio tricked her.

Visit FindNovel.net to read it for free.I'm gonna have to have a serious chat with these three at some point, they need to know that they can't play with people's feelings like this, especially not their moms. "Well, it worked didn't it and now we get to go and see more of our family in New York but most importantly...we get to be with our dad"

"Dayton's right, Logan, I know you're not happy about our dad being here with us but we are and we want him to be with our mum and be our dad as well, we want him to be a part of our family"

"Who said I'm not happy he's here?".

Logan Junior asks confused.

"Your face says it every time he shows up here or his name is mentioned, you always look like you're annoyed and like you can't wait for him to leave" "Yeah and?"

Logan Junior asks and my heart pained that my son would feel this way about me.

"And you always call him by his name, you never call him dad or daddy like Teddy and I do, I mean what the hell is that all about, Lo?"

"I already told you, Dayton, he has to earn that title, he can't just walk into our lives and expect us to accept him straight off the bat and call him dad" "Why not? he's our dad, Logan"

Teddy says with pain in her voice which hurt my heart but the hurt was escalated when I heard not only her brother's angry and cold voice but also what he said.

"It's because I don't trust him, Teddy"

"But he's our dad, Lo"

"So what, Dayton? he hasn't been in our lives for five years and now he shows up here out of nowhere and all of a sudden wants to be our dad...how do we know he won't just up and leave us again, hmm? how do we know he won't hurt us? and what about our mum? what if he hurts her?"

That'll never happen, son, I promise you.

"Mum deserves to be happy, she doesn't deserve to be used or mistreated"

"And our daddy will make her happy, Lo, we just need to trust him"

"I don't know if I can, Teddy"

Ouch, that hurts.

"Well, I do trust him, Logan and I definitely trust him with our mum...haven't you seen how he looks at her? he looks at our mum like she's a queen and obviously, I'm his princess" Teddy says and I chuckle slightly.

"Yeah, you both are, princess"

I whispered to myself.

Even though it hurts me to say this, the reason why Logan Junior has got his walls up so high with me is because he doesn't trust me and he's scared I'll leave and hurt him, his siblings and his mom.

I need to change how he feels about me if I plan on building a future with my little family and the only way I know how to do this is to prove to him that he can trust me and that I'm not going anywhere. "What are you doing? are you eavesdropping on our kids? bad daddy"

Lacey says while fake gasping before chuckling.

She was looking at me with an amused expression which quickly changed to a look of concern and confusion.

"What's wrong? are you ok?"

"I'm fine, babe"

I say with a smile as I gently cup her face and caress her soft cheek with my thumb.

"I've gotta head back to my hotel and get myself all sorted out for tomorrow, I'll...
