Coming Home For Christmas
Chapter 25

Lacey's

P.O.V.

Oh my god, what have I done?.

Did I seriously just agree to marry Logan...tomorrow?.

After I said yes to Logan, he happily and excitedly put the ring on my finger before kissing me like both of our lives depended on it.

I couldn't resist this kiss and I found myself melting into him as I ran my hands through his once perfectly styled hair.

I don't know how long we kissed for but we eventually pulled away from one another and Logan rested his forehead against mine as his hot breath mingled with my own. "You've just made me the happiest man alive, sweetheart"

"Have I?"

"Mmm-hmm"

Logan smiled whilst biting his lower lip and this made me smile because he genuinely looked happy and excited, in fact, he looked happier than Dylan did when I said yes to him. "Are you serious about marrying me tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I am...I know this may piss you off, love but I already made arrangements for us to get married before we go back to New York"

He says shocking me.

"Seriously? when did you make plans for us to get married?" "When I left here earlier on?"

What the hell?.

"One of the other things I overheard Logan Junior say earlier was how worried he was that I'd hurt you and break your heart and it made me wanna storm in there and tell him I'd never do anything to hurt you but I knew words are useless and our kids would want more than just that so when I left here, I called your grandfather hoping he could help me and he did, apparently he owes some guy down at the council a favour and he was able to get us an opening at ten o'clock in the morning" If you are not reading this novel on FindNovel.net know that some paragraphs are not complete.

"Yep"

He says with a smirk.

"Why do you think Bunny kept bringing up our wedding so much?"

He asks me and I gasp.

That sneaky little rabbit.

"Your gramps already knew I was planning to propose to you because I had asked him for his permission to marry you before I left New York"

The more Logan spoke the more his words shocked me but they also saddened me because he asked my grandfather for permission to marry me, shouldn't he have asked my dad?.

I know my father and I aren't on the best of terms right now but it would've meant the world to me and it would've been a great first step to mending our broken bond if he'd given Logan his permission to marry me.

"What's wrong, babe? why are you so sad all of a sudden?"

"I was just thinking about my dad...it's a tradition that you ask the father of the bride if you can marry his daughter, not the grandfather"

"Babe, I did ask your dad"

He says and I snap my head up to look at him.

"What? you did?"

"Yeah I did, I also asked Justin as well"

"Wow, you are being serious"

I say with a slight chuckle and his smile got brighter.

"Yeah I am and now you've got no reason to back out of it, tomorrow you're becoming Mrs Black and there's nothing you can do about it"

"That's what you think, sweetheart"

I say while standing up.

Logan looked at me with a shocked/intrigued expression.

"Really? and what are you gonna do to stop our wedding, love?"

"I'm a woman, Logan, we've got many tricks up our sleeves"

"Care to share some of those tricks with me?"

He asks as he stands up slowly and walks towards me looking like a sexy and intimidating wolf stalking his prey.

"Uh-uh, a smart lady never reveals her tricks"

"Even to her husband?"

Logan asked me and my chest filled with warmth as a swarm of butterflies flew around in my stomach when he referred to himself as my husband.

I know I've been hesitant to explore anything with Logan and I've been allowing my insecurities to dominate my decisions regarding him but I can't deny how much I love him and the thought of marrying him is actually really exciting and feels surreal hours, I'm gonna be the wife of the world-famous billionaire Logan Black.

in just over twelve

"Even my husband"

I said with a smile...

Logan then gently cupped my face and kissed my forehead and I closed my eyes as a content sigh escaped my mouth.

"This is gonna sound crazy considering we're literally engaged now...but are you staying here tonight or are you going back to your hotel?"

I ask and Logan chuckles as he looks down

at me like I'm his whole world..

"I'm staying here, babe, if you don't mind"

"Of course I don't, I'm pretty sure the kids will love it when they wake up tomorrow and find you here"

"I hope so"

Logan said as he caressed my cheek with his thumb.

"I love you, Lacey"

"I love you too, Logan"

I say with a smile feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders after finally confessing my love to him.

Logan seemed shocked but happy to hear my confession and I felt his grip on me tighten just a little.

"Say it again"

"I love you, Logan"

"And again"

He says and I chuckle.

"Logan stop it, you're gonna hear it a lot in your life, you don't wanna get bored of hearing me say I love you so soon, do you?"

"I'll never get bored of hearing it, love"

Logan whispers against my lips before kissing me.

Our kiss didn't last long because we were interrupted by a noise coming from the hall.

I narrowed my eyes in confusion as I looked between Logan and the door.

I walked over and opened it and I found myself smiling when I saw my mischievous little princess standing there with a smile on her face.

She's wearing her blue Little Mermaid pyjamas and her hair has been put in two braids which is odd because her hair wasn't styled this way before she went to bed so when did this happen?. "Teddy, what are you doing up? you should be in bed"

"I wanted to kiss daddy goodnight before he leaves"

She says sweetly as she tries to look past me to see her dad.

Logan came up behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist as he looked down at our baby girl with an amused expression.

"Hi, princess"

"Hi, daddy, are you leaving now?"

"No baby I'm not, I'm staying here tonight"

"With mummy?"

Teddy asks with a raised eyebrow and a smug little look on her cute face.

"Yes with mommy, why have you got a problem with that?"

"Nope"

"Good because I was staying here whether you like it or not"

Logan says sassily and I chuckle.

"If you say so, daddy...anyway, night, night"

Teddy waved as she ran away.

"Hey, I thought you wanted a goodnight

kiss from your dad?".

"Oh yeah"

Teddy ran back towards us and ran straight into her father's arms.

Logan picked his daughter up and snuggled her close to him, he kissed her cheek before nuzzling his face in her little neck.

It was a sweet sight to see and I could tell from both of their faces that they were happy and content with each other.

It was heartwarming to see my baby girl being held by her dad but it also tugged painfully at my heartstrings because of the guilt I was feeling for keeping them apart.

I know none of them blame me but still, I do and I really wish this guilt would ease up a little but I doubt it ever will.

I felt something warm touch my hand and when I looked down, I saw Logan was holding my hand again.

I looked up at him and saw him looking at me with concern as he mouthed are you ok? to me, I just smiled and nodded my head.

"We should get you back to bed, baby, we've gotta get up early in the morning"

"Why? I thought we were leaving after dinner?"

"We are but first your mommy and I have got a surprise for you all before we leave".

Teddy looked between the two of us looking very excited and kind of intrigued.

"What's the surprise?"

"It's a secret we're keeping until you wake up tomorrow"

"That's not fair, daddy"

"I know"

Logan said as he kissed our daughter.

"Come on, the sooner we go to sleep the sooner we can wake up and find out what the surprise is"

"What's with the we, daddy? you already know what the surprise is"

"Oh yeah"

Logan said with a chuckle and Teddy rolled her eyes.

Seeing these two together is honestly cute.

Logan, Teddy and I headed upstairs and Logan tucked our daughter back into bed and read her a bedtime story while I went to my room and got ready for bed.

I had already showered and changed into some fresh pyjamas when Logan came into my room and approached me from behind in the bathroom.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled his face into my neck as he let out a tired sigh.

"Are you ok?"

I ask him.

"No, our child is tiresome, she made me read The Little Mermaid to her twice"

He says and I chuckle.

"If this is your reaction to Teddy then Dayton is gonna leave you catatonic"

Logan lifted his head out of my neck and rested his chin on top of my shoulder as he looked at me in the mirror.

"How did you cope for five years on your own, babe?"

"I wasn't always on my own, I had Carmella here to help me most of the time"

"Well, you don't need Carmella anymore love, you've got me"

Logan said before kissing my temple.

It was gonna take a lot of getting used to having a man around again but I was willing to do it for not only Logan and our kids but also for myself because I deserve to be happy with the man I'm in love with.
