Logan
Sophie was getting worked up, going off on Steven. Everyone listened in silence, allowing her to express her feelings towards the situation, including Steven as he hung his head.
I was a bit mad to learn that my suspicions were correct. Roxanne had confronted her in the restrooms, threatening her to take me away from her. I smiled, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her cheek. She immediately calmed down a bit, as Steven slowly looked up, as we exchanged an apologetic smile. "Baby, relax. It's ok, no one, you hear me? No one will ever break us apart. Especially Roxanne, cone on now baby girl?" I said, cupping her cheeks in my hand, looking at her in her eyes.
Her hands rested at my waist as she gave me her sad puppy eyes. "I don't want to lose you, Logan. Believe me, I'm trying my best, and I want you to know that I love you so so much. It would break my heart if you ever left me," she adds, pulling me closer by my hips, and gripping the loops of my bottoms. "Sophie...listen to my words, I love you, there is no other woman in my life that holds my heart but you. I would never. Ever. Leave you for another woman. I've loved you practically since the day I met you. I mean, it took me a while to admit it, but it has always been you, baby. You are not going to lose me. Don't listen to her, she's only saying those words to you because she's trying to be vindictive." I pulled her closer, wrapping my arms around her shoulders and resting her head on my chest.
"We didn't know she was in our high school back then, and even if we did, it wouldn't have changed how I felt for you. She is responsible for her actions, and for what she has done. If she knows what's best for her, she will strive far away from you and my baby, and my big boy as well," I say chuckling, referring to Nathan.
"Sophie, she's just trying to make you mad. Logan loves you, and he would never leave you for someone as worthless as she is. No offense, Steven." Troy added, making him smirk sadly.
"Listen, I know this night has been crazy for all of us. But, Logan, I need to ask you for your help in this one buddy. I need to figure out a plan to obligate Roxanne to let me get close to Kaitlyn if she is my daughter." Steven added, making me think of a few options.
"Ok, why don't we need up tomorrow after your shift and we can talk? I think we all can use a nice rest after all this, don't you agree?" I replied, looking at Sophie who I still had tightly in my arms. I kissed the top of her head, making her sigh.
He nods his head, reaching out to shake my hand, "thanks, bud. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Again...Sophie, you're right. I need to start acting a bit more mature and get my shit together. I promise I'll try my hardest to make that little girl know that I never meant to have her grow up without me...and well, even if she's not mine, I hope I can still help Roxanne with her. It's as much my fault as it was hers. We can't blame each other for our actions. It's time I stepped up properly and did what's right for her."
Steven turns on his heel and walks past Troy and Dylan, earning a sincere smile from them. "Good night son, I know you'll do the right thing." Me. Patterson added, patting his shoulder.
"Steven wait," Sophie adds, in doing our embrace and walking towards Steven. "I'm sorry I judged you so easily. It's not up to me to push you or tell you about what happened years ago. Sure, it was wrong to walk out on her, but I'm in no position to judge you when I did a similar thing to Logan. It's hard being a single parent, it doesn't just take a toll on the parent, but on the kid as well. If Kaitlyn is yours, you deserve to know. I'm glad to know that you're trying to make things work, but if Roxanne is in a vindictive state, it doesn't matter how hard you try, she will never see past her anger. May I suggest you talk to the grandparents? Let them know who you are, get them to trust you, and by all means be honest with them and your daughter." she says, making Steven choke up a little.
He pulls her into a hug, kissing the top of her head. " Thanks, Soph. You know, Logan is a lucky guy to have you in his life. I'm glad you came back." he adds, winking at her and walking away.

Sophie
I felt so overwhelmed. "Maybe going off on Steven was uncalled for, I had no right to yell at him," I said as I see him walking away until he's out of our view. Dad squeezes me around my shoulders, kissing my temple. "I think I can relate to Logan. We all need a good night's rest, don't you think?" dad asks.
"Yup, I need some good rest too. I'm still pretty tired from yesterday's game." Jason adds, yawning and stretching his hands. We all go back inside to grab our coats and call it a night. Logan and I walk hand in hand, as he places his customer on my shoulders.
Derreck sprints towards us with an envelope and a bright smile. "Hey, you two. Leaving so soon?" he asks, shaking hands with Logan. "Yes, sir. It's getting a bit late. Plus, the auction should be over right about now, so we're going to head out." he says, interlacing his fingers with mine.
"Listen, thanks for all of your help donating the paintings Logan. All three were sold at an incredible amount...also," he adds, showing us the large envelope. "I believe you were the highest bidder for the packet for Dubai and," he says giving the envelope to Logan and grabbing a small black box from his coat pocket. "This baby right here as well. Good night guys, see you on Monday at the office son. Good night, Sophie." he says kissing my cheek, shaking Logan's hand, and walking away.
I looked at him quizzically as he smiled and placed the box quickly inside his pocket making me tilt my head to the side. "What was that?" I asked a bit intrigued with what he had bet on.
"Oh, you'll see. Soon baby, soon," he says, turning me around and planting a kiss on my lips. "Let's go home?" I pleaded as my feet ached from using these high stilettos.
"Actually, I rented a room here so we don't have to go all the way back home. The party is still on, but, I know you're tired. How about we go up to our room instead?" he says, pressing my hips against him. So unfair, he knows I've been hormonal. The slightest sensual touch makes me want him. I bite my lower lip, leaning forward and licking his bottom lip before kissing him. He grunts, squeezing my hips. An involuntary moan escaped me.
We retrieved to our room, disposing of our clothes quickly and giving in to our pleasure.
He slowly drew circles on my shoulder as I rested on his chest. Our legs intertwined, and our sweaty bodies pressed side by side. "Sophie?" he whispers with his eyes closed and beginning to fall asleep. "Yeah," I replied, running my hand slowly up and down his chest.
"Move in with me?" he says, making me raise my head and smile. "I love you, Logan. And sure...why not?" I reply.
He quickly flips us over, hovering over me and looking at me with a huge smile. "Really?" he asks hopeful.
I giggle, wrapping my hands around his neck and pressing a kiss on his lips. "Yes, dummy. Really...ill move in with you...well, we'll move in with you." referring to our son. He smiles brighter, pressing more kisses on my lips. "I love you, Sophie," he says, deepening the kiss. He spreads my leg with his knee, showing me that he was turned on again. A pool of desire building between my legs. He slowly enters me, making love to me again.
