Happily Ever After?
I'd be lying if I said the last six weeks have been without their bumpy spots. I mean, Logan staying with us without all the wedding chaos and moving to the new place would have been weird enough for him, but that definitely added to everything. Mostly because I was a total basket case. I'm not even sure if he has any idea how many times my dad caught me sitting at the counter watching him sleep, reminding myself he was okay - that he was still with me after being so used to falling asleep with him - in the first couple of weeks. To say Backup and I hovered would be the understatement of the millennium, really.
So we've had a few overblown fights, but I think we're okay. I mean, he knows I wasn't doing it to drive him insane.
So, two weeks of hovering like crazy and driving him insane, a week of packing and moving things into the new place, and a couple of weeks with just the kids at the new place while Dad and Alicia were on their honeymoon, and here we are. Alicia's being really, really understanding about Logan staying with us. She's got him bunked in with Wallace, which wouldn't have been my first choice, but you can't really convince them that there's no risk of us doing anything while he's still healing. I get it. I just miss falling asleep with him. A five month habit's hard to break.
On the up side? I've got the three most important people in the world to me all under one roof. And I think Logan's actually glad to be here for more than just the distance it keeps Trina at. I mean, he knows he's got people around that care about him. He and Wallace are definitely getting to know each other better. But sometimes I think he feels left out because he's not actually part of the family and he wants to feel like a part of one. I know he does, actually, from the conversation we had the night my dad told me he and Alicia were getting married. He doesn't really talk about it much either way, though.
We're all settling in to some sort of routine and getting used to being in each other's space. Wallace and my dad are both doing their best to keep me distracted so I don't worry about Logan constantly, for which I'm sure he's thankful. Though I'm kind of shocked that Dad's letting me near the office at all right now.
Duncan and Meg came over earlier with the baby, and I have no idea what he and Duncan talked about but things seemed completely fine when he left. Meg looked as amazed as I was when they came out to the backyard where we were and they were acting as if nothing had ever happened. Though I guess it was 6 months ago. Things just don't work like that in girl world though. The situation with Meg and I was definitely helped by the fact that I was perfectly content with Logan and posed no threat at all.
I'd just gotten back from taking Backup for a walk to find Logan on the couch playing video games."I leave for like, 40 minutes and you're already completely engrossed in a game?" I tease lightly, wondering where Wallace and Darrel were and why they weren't playing with him as I settled on the couch beside him.
