Kids From One Alpha” By Selena Lynch Chapter 64

Chapter 64: The Nursery

When Logan got home, the front hallway was filled with half open boxes of baby things. There was an u

nassembled crib, a changing table, tons of toys, a swing, and a pop–

up playpen. Everything in the hallway was a new addition. None of it had been there when the twins ha

d come over. Holly must have brought it all home with her!

From upstairs, Logan heard Holly and her

friends moving furniture around, scraping it across the nice hard wood floors of his house! Every time h

e heard a scrape, he winced.

Flying up the stairs, Logan found Holly and her friends in the bedroom Logan had

allowed the twins to stay in. Most of the furniture

in the room had already been shoved out into the hallway. One of Holly‘s friends had paint chips and w

as pressing colors to the wall,

asking Holly what she thought would look good. “What‘s going on?” Logan asked from the doorway.

All of Holly‘s friends stopped smiling and giggling. “There you are, baby.” Holly said, sashaying across t

he room. She threw her arms around his neck and tried to kiss him. Logan pulled away. “What are you

doing?” he said, nodding towards the half empty room and the furniture in the hall.

Holly released him, putting her hands on her

belly. “Well, it is still early, but this pregnancy won‘t last forever. I wanted to get a head start on the nurs

ery,” she said, beaming at Logan.

Logan glared at her friends. “Can we have a minute?” he asked them. They looked to

Holly for permission. “Go on,” she said.

“I want you guys to pick out the color scheme and find a good mural to paint on the wall.” “Will do,” they

gushed, heading out and going down to the living room. Logan looked at the furniture that was in the h

allway. The beds the twins had used so recently. Something in him really hated seeing the furniture he

associated with them being cast aside. “Where are you going to put all this stuff?” he

asked, motioning to those

beds. It didn‘t escape him that Holly had chosen the twins‘ room to become the nursery.

The room Serena had stayed in was closer to theirs, but Holly had clearly wanted to make a statement

about kids with Logan. “There‘s plenty of room in the attic, you can drag them up there later,” Holly

said dismissively “Holly, it is months until the baby arrives,” Logan argued, “Why do we need to do alla

this now?” “I‘m just trying to be prepared,” Holly said, pouting. Logan kept thinking back to Serena tellin

g him that she thought Holly was hiding something. He didn‘t think that was possible, not with how proa

ctive Holly was being about getting things ready for

the baby. “Is everything alright with the baby?” he asked. Holly smiled and laughed. “Why wouldn‘t it be

?” she asked with a shrug, going back to folding baby clothes into a new dresser she‘d bought for the

baby.

“The hospital called me today,” Logan said. Holly stopped folding and glared at

the wall in front of her. “That meddling little tramp!” she snapped. “She just couldn‘t mind her own busin

ess!”

“Holly, if it is about the baby, it is our business. I have every right to know,” Logan pointed out. Holly sne

ered.

“This is my body!” She said, turning to Logan with tears in her eyes. “I know what

is going on in my body. I don‘t need you or anyone else telling me what to do about my own body!” Log

an sighed. He‘d known she was going to take things so personally. “I believe you do,” he said calmly. Fr

ustration wouldn‘t help in this situation, and it was already turning into a fight. He hadn‘t even started th

e conversation yet! “I want you and the baby to be healthy, though.” Saying the words, he knew they w

ere true. Even though he wasn‘t ready to be a parent, he still wanted Holly and the baby

to be okay. Holly shook her head. “Everything is fine,” she assured. “Trust me.” He nodded. “Okay, but,

Holly, you‘re tearing the whole house apart,” he said. “Can‘t you wait until we can get someone to help?

” “I thought you were going to help,” she said, smiling at him suggestively. Logan shook his head.

“I have way too much to

do for the pack these days,” he said. “Setting up a nursery isn‘t a priority of mine right now.” That was t

he wrong thing to say! Holly put her hands on her hips and glared at Logan. “This is our baby!” she

snapped. “You have to make us a priority! The pack can wait!” Logan‘s anger and frustration flared agai

n! Holly never understood his position as Alpha! “I‘m Alpha!” he shouted

back. “My greatest obligation and responsibility is to this

Dack!”

Chapter 64 The Nursery “No, your greatest obligation is to your family, to me and our

baby!” Holly put her hands on her stomach again. “How can you stand there and say

there are more important things?”

“That is the burden of being Alpha,” Logan reminded her. “No matter what I want for myself, what else I

have in my life, the pack comes first!” Holly rolled her eyes. “Why am I even having a baby with you?” s

he asked. “Why are you?” Logan countered. Holly‘s jaw dropped open. “I can‘t believe you

just asked that!” she hissed, throwing a pair of balled up baby socks at him. “Dol have to dignify that wit

h a response?” “Maybe,” Logan said with a shrug. “You told me you were on

birth control, we‘ve never talked about kids or starting a family. You‘ve never seemed interest in it…” he

trailed

off.

Holly‘s eyes blazed. She was

furious, sputtering for words for a moment. “I love you, Logan,” she spat. “When I found out I was pregna

Logan sighed, shaking his head. “It has been a bad day,” he

said. “Get this room put back together and put the nursery stuff into storage.” “No!” Holly snapped. “Loga

part of it.” “What does that mean?” Holly asked as

Logan turned away. “Logan!” she cried to him. He was already walking down the stairs, not willing to arg

wolf. The freeness of fur in the night air was a huge relief after his stressful, tense day. With a howl, Log

out into the open fields, and into the smaller brush of the crop fields. The scents of the night were intoxic

his pace to a walk, sniffing the air. There were other wolves nearby. He swerved in a different direction, p

That was the last thing Logan wanted to do on a night like this! The faster and

farther he ran, the further away his troubles became, that was what was important to him. Picking up his

on the ground, Logan rolled in the grass, the blades scratching his back and fur. His tongue hung out

of his mouth as he panted and yipped with pleasure, like a lovesick

puppy! A scent in the air caught Logan‘s attention. He stopped rolling around, falling onto his side. He st
