Kids from One Alpha

Chapter 116: Talking to the Kids

Olivia and Oliver immediately wanted to start playing when they got back to the house. Serena set their bags aside for the time being. “Olivia, Oliver, can we all sit down together and talk?” Serena asked. “Now?” Logan asked. “Better get it all out in the open,” she said. Logan nodded. The kids came over to her and sat on the couch. Serena sat across from them on the coffee table. Logan stood beside her. “Mommy, you look serious,” Olivia commented. Serena smiled and looked up at Logan. “How would you two feel about me being your dad?” Logan asked them. Serena sighed at his straight forwardness. She had said it would be better to get it all out in the open.

“I thought you were our uncle,” Oliver said.

“No, honey, Santino is your uncle because he is mommy’s brother,” Serena explained. “Logan is mommy’s friend, but he could be part of the family if that’s okay with you.”

Olivia and Oliver looked at each other. They leaned in and began whispering to each other. Serena looked back at Logan and gave a shrug. He smirked at her. “Apparently, my change in status needs to be carefully considered,” he said with a mirthful grin. “I’d say so,” Serena said with a giggle. “You’re kind of already like our dad,” Olivia said when she and Oliver stopped whispering. “A really cool, fun dad,” Oliver said. Logan smiled widely, his grin uncontrollable. “Don’t get too used to it,” Serena said. “As your dad, he gets grounding privileges.” Olivia pouted. “You wouldn’t, would you?” she asked Logan. Logan chuckled. “I will do whatever is best for all of us,” Logan said. He put his hand on Serena’s shoulder and squeezed gently. Serena smiled, comforted by the contact. “That means no grounding.” Olivia insisted. She stood up on the couch. “Olivia, please sit down.” Serena said. Olivia ‘hmphed, but plopped back down on the couch.

“Are you going to live here with us now?” Oliver asked Logan. Serena and Logan exchanged another glance. She wanted to take things slow, at least with their relationshin She didn’t want the kids to only have half a father.

though. “We will hopefully get to that point soon,” Serena said. “For now, Logan will still live at his house and the three of us will live here.”

“I want to live all together,” Olivia argued, pouting again.

Serena raised an eyebrow at her daughter, wondering how much about the birds and the bees Olivia understood or knew. Logan looked at Serena for help. “I don’t understand,” Logan

They were being so well behaved. “She’ll be home tomorrow,” Serena said. “I told her I’d let her know when you two got home, but I think you’d like to have time with Logan tonight.” “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” the twins shouted. While Logan cooked, Serena set the table. It was going to be like a real, family dinner. “Can I have some paper, mommy?” Olivia asked. “And some crayons.” “Sure, sweetie,“ Serena said. She grabbed the paper and

over her shoulder and saw that she was writing, as well as a five-year-old could. “What are you writing?” Serena asked. “Things need to change here,” Olivia said. “Now that Logan is our daddy.” Serena didn’t ask. She let Olivia write on her paper. When Logan finished cooking, Serena cleared away the crayons and paper and the four of them sat down together. Logan
