Nathan was having so much fun in the water with Logan that they completely lost the notion of time, as did I to be totally honest with you. "Hey, Soph. Dylan and I are going to check on the stuff we got to make a cook-off, mind helping us make some burgers, baby girl?" Troy and Dylan came over where Lexie, Ashley, and I were sitting. "I'd love to," I replied.
"I can help too. I make a killer burger, T," Roxie added as she overheard us. "Great, that would be even better. But, just so you know, we men have a big appetite. So you girls will need to cook up a storm to feed us." Dylan added making her chuckle. Lexie and Ashley rolled their eyes at her laughter.
I, on the other hand, could care less. She was no threat to me, and I knew Logan was not going to fall for her, I trusted him. I knew he wouldn't betray me by messing around with her.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐SophieAfter they started playing, and the game got more intense, I decided to start preparing lunch. Roxie followed right behind, using one side of the countertops while I used the other. Some of the workers had brought two stovetop's for us to work in. I grabbed my camera and snapped a few pictures of them playing, but making sure to keep an eye on the patties.I prepared the meat by seasoning it and making the patties one by one. Roxie was doing the same, and it honestly looked like she was doing a good job. Midway towards the food preparations, the boys decided to take a water break. They all ran to fill up on water and went back to start another game. Logan came behind me, slapping my butt really hard. I winced at the burn of his slap and turned to see a big smile on his face."Logan?" he chuckles, pulling me by my waist and kiss

We kicked off our shoes, rolled up Nathan's pants and Logan's, leaving our shoes back by the table. We walked holding Nathan's hands and swinging him from time to time. He was having a blast getting his little feet wet and walking in the middle of both of us. By around ten in the evening, Nathan gave out. Logan picked him up and carried him in his arms as he fell asleep. We made our
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐Sophie (five days later)After the resort, our days have been really busy. Logan has been staying in my house for the most part. He's still trying to convince me to move into his house, but I'm just not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to my new house. I mean, literally... I just bought this house. So, until then, he has been staying here with me. Ethan and Johnny have been coming and going with Johnny's gigs, and for the most part, Lexie and I keep busy at the office. The girl I had hired to look after Nathan, Nancy, will be helping me out at the office during the hours that Nate is at school. For the most part, Logan still calling Ethan Kyle, or Mark
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐Logan"I can not explain to you how happy she makes me feel, T. My son is amazing, and Sophie is so good with him. He is so damn smart, I swear." I say chuckling as I thought back to all of the conversations I've had with him, the past few days."I bet he is. He's got two of our old high school's biggest nerds as his parents," he says chuckling, making me laugh."What about Rox? Did Sophie talk to you about her situation already?" I sigh at the sound of his question. I never thought Roxanne could be so low. I thought we were friends? But I was able to tell something was off ever since we arrived at the resort. Rox has no idea... She thinks I didn't notice the way she was
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐SophieLogan and I had lunch, saving some of the wine for later tonight. He surprised me by stopping to get a nice piece of chocolate cake on the way to pick up Nathan from school. We made our way to the elementary and waited for school to end. Soon as the bell rang, Logan wasted no time and got out of the car to walk with me. A few minutes pass, and we finally see my baby's teacher walking with the kids in a single file. "Ok kids, if you see your mom or dad, you have to tell me so you can go." His teacher said as he came to the front. Roxanne was already out, letting her kids go home and talking to the parents of one of her students. Amber came up, looking at her
๏ฟผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐SophieAs usual, Logan picked me up from work early and we made our way to pick up Nathan from school. He parked the car and made his way around to open the door for me. I took his hand and wrapped my arms around him, kissing him on his lips soon as I got out of the car. It seems so surreal, we have been together for a whole month now, but it seems as if we never parted. We fit in so perfectly.Logan is the best with Nathan, and he helps me out so much at home. His birthday is coming in just a few weeks, and I'm meeting with T in a few days to talk about proper arrangements for his wedding and possibly making a party for Logan. He's getting married in December, I can

I mean you already have your writing, and your photography studio, Nate....and now this?" Logan whispers in the kitchen as I prepare the chicken we will be having for dinner. McKenzie and Nate sit by the coffee table in the living room of our open concept, they are enjoying their time together coloring in Nate's coloring books. I look back at them, Nathan can feel me starting, and throws a bright smile my way. "Logan, as much as I want to sit around and pout, or be mad at Amber, I can't. I know she did wrong lying to me, but it's much her fault as it is mine for believing her. Besides..." I say turning around to continue seasoning my batter and begin to place the chicken on it. "It's not Kenzie's fault, and I don't want to hold any grudges towards Amber. I'm past the revenge on her phase. We have
๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ Sophie After we sat to watch paw patrol, we sent Nathan to take a bath and sent him off to sleep. Logan and I enjoyed a quiet night as we sat to watch another movie, cuddled up on the couch and drinking a glass of wine. By nine in the evening, he got a call from New York and had to log on to his computer for a virtual meeting with his boss in New York. Lexie made her way out of her room and sat with me on the couch. She looked pensive, giddy, and a little too happy, and I just knew something was up with her. I turned around to face her, bending my knee and resting my foot on the sofa. "Ok, spill it. Something's up. I know you, what's going on?" I said looking straight at her. She giggles, and turns to face me, bending her knee just like me. "Sophie...my dear, dear Sophie. You look beautiful today, did I tell you that? You're glowing." she says
AUTHOR'S NOTE: BOOK THREE WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER. TITLED 'LOVELY IMPERFECTIONS, ' IT'S A STAND-ALONE BOOK ABOUT NATHAN AND THE GIRL HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH.๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจSophie(10 years later, June 18th)I stood at my kitchen island, finishing the last touches on my baby's cupcakes. It was his birthday today, finally turning five years old.After my twins were born, we git married, and it didn't go past two years before I was pregnant again with my beautiful baby girl. We decided to name her Ruth Abigail, after Logan's auntie. She was born close to my birthday on the 13th of November. After that, we went by for three more years until I became pregnant with my baby boy, Daniel, or Tarzan, as Logan likes to tease-call him, which by the way, we are naming him after his uncle, Daniel Halloway, who lives in California.I found that until Logan came to Tennessee, his uncle was helping them out because his dad, Charles, had a hard time making ends meet. While his dad attended
Logan"We're here. This is your home, little ones." I say as I hold the baby carriers in front of our home. I placed baby Sam's carrier down slowly and opened the car door for Sophie, holding out my hand for her. She smiles as she reaches out and carefully gets out of the car. She looks so beautiful with her afterglow. Motherhood looks so beautiful on her. I surely must have done something right to deserve this woman. She's a blessing to me, to my boys, to my family, to my life.We made our way inside and were shocked as we were surprised by our family and friends with a big welcome home party for Sophie and my boys. A lot of our townfolk were here as well, welcoming our twins home. There was food everywhere, along with blue balloons, and streamers inside and outside our home. Everywhere I looked, there were people, kids running, smiling, and having a great time. Music played in the back to enlighten the atmosphere. It made me feel so proud of being part if this town."Wow, hey gu
Sophie (May 26th)The months went by flying so fast. Between work, my belly growing and the wedding coming up I was feeling both excited and anxious. I've been getting Braxton hicks all day. I'm only five months along, but my belly looks big compared to how I was with Nathan. He is so impatient, kicking already and moving so much.Oh yes, you heard right, I'm having another boy.We decided to name him Steven Anthony, Tony for short. It just fits him. I mean, yes, Anthony is his second name, but calling him Steven in front of Steven just got confusing, plus, Steven just proposed to Audrey and if they decided to have a baby together shortly, I'm sure they will name him Steven as well.I stood before the mirror, I wore a boho style laced dress with a low back and a deep V-shaped cut in front. I wanted something simple, and the dress that Ashley and I found was perfect, I still had a few months to go, so I'm sur
SophieI was so nervous, and I'm not even the one getting married today. I walked in my heels from one end of the room to the other making sure everything was accordingly. I wanted this day to be perfect for my best friend. Troy deserves the best wedding ever.I wanted to make sure everything was perfect for him. I tried my best to get everything done without having to worry him or Dylan.I checked on the tables, the decoration, the bar, everything. It had to be perfect. My heart was content as I see everything exactly how we had planned. Now the only thing to do was to wait for the wedding to start."Baby, will you slow down. I don't want you to overdue yourself, remember...the baby. You gotta rest, that's what the wedding planner is for. Don't make me call Loretta. Come on, take a breather will you?" Logan says as he pulls me to him. He hugs me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my lips. Loretta was my doctor.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: We see now down to our last chapters. I just wanted to say thank you guys for this beautiful journey and for being part of it. I hope you have enjoyed my story. Thank you for the wonderful support, and for staying patient as I underwent a period of emotional roller coasters.๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจ๐โจSophieWe went home after we celebrated with friends and family. Of course, I'm sure you know what happened... Logan made love to me so passionately. It felt right, like we belonged together, as it should have been from the beginning. That same weekend, we took off to Dubai and we came back a few days after New Year. Let me tell you, Dubai was beautiful, but it rained most nights, so the days were cold. I think next time we go, it will have to be during the summer instead.Troy is getting married in a few weeks, so I have been busy helping him with the last details while he's away in business.Also, Ro
SophieI was anxious. I don't know why, I mean, it's not the first time Logan and I go out on a date. This was a weekly thing we did back in high school. We loved spending time together, but for some reason, I was nervous.He looked stunning, wearing a black suit with a dark blue shirt and matching tie. I decided on a simple black dress that hugged my body perfectly. It was about mid-thigh length, with a low round cut in the front. I wore black stilettos and a long winter coat since it was snowing out already. It was pretty cold out, but I was still warm by the coat and the car heater. It was going to be a while before I became accustomed to the weather here again. The California weather is so unpredictable. It could be December and 90 degrees Fahrenheit out. Yet, it could be May, and be pouring outside. Luckily, this winter was not so harsh here. Sure, it was showing, but it was very light and was not as cold as I remember.W
Sophie (two weeks later)We were getting closer to Christmas. During the weekend, Logan and Nate helped decorate the whole house, and we decorated the Christmas tree with Kenzie's help. The place looked beautiful, every detail was exactly how I imagined it.I woke up feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. Logan stirred in his sleep as I moved his hand away from my waist. I turned, kissing him on his lips getting a smile in return. "I love you, dork," I said kissing him again and going straight to the restroom. I went for a quick shower, brushed my teeth, placed on comfy clothes, and began my day. It was still a bit of a struggle because of my cast, but little by little I began to adjust.I made breakfast for my two favorite men, woke up Nate, and got him ready for his last week of school before we went off to Christmas and New Year's break. By the time I came down to finish breakfast, Logan was sitting down enjoying his breakfast
SophieThe days that followed soon after the accident was not easy for me at all. When I got to go home after five exhaust days, Logan reluctantly made me rest all day for three days straight. I wasn't allowed to get up unless it was for the bathroom or shower. Logan and everyone treated me with so much care and love, but it was so smothering. True, I felt pampered but overwhelmed since I was limited to the things they allowed me to do.Nate and Kenzie were still being bothered by Kaitlyn as the news of her mom being transferred out of the hospital to jail. The thought that she may go to jail for a long time made her scared. I can't imagine how she feels, she is so little and feels abandoned. I hope Steven gets custody of here soon and they can reconcile. She needs a good home.She was already feeling overwhelmed not having her dad in her life. The thought of Roxanne never acknowledging her as her daughter, made her depressed at such a
SophieI woke up feeling lightheaded. Everything spined, and my body ached everywhere. I glanced at the ceiling as it pinned lightly and realized I was not in my room. I tried to sit up, but my head began to throb, and my hand felt like a million stabbing needles as I realized it was in a cast.I grunted as soon as I felt the shooting pain. "Sophie...baby, are you ok?" I hear Logan's voice. I immediately realized he was asleep, in a sitting position on a chair near me. "Logan. What...what am I doing here? Why is my arm in a cast?" I grunted as I bring my hand to my temple.It seems that my head decided to throb harder and spin faster now that I was sitting with Logan's help."Babe, it's ok. You don't have to remember everything now, but, you were in a car accident baby. You were hit pretty hard. As you can see, your left arm was broken, and you need to take it easy when sitting or laying down. You have a hairline frac
