Author's Note: Last chapter I swear! It's allreefgirluk's fault; she wanted more, then I had a bunny and this is the result.
Review's are welcome!
I hear a high tiny cry, crack open an eye and glance at the clock on my nightstand to see that it’s 12:30am. Had an hour really gone by? Seems like I just fell asleep from the last time I put Jennifer down.
I sigh, push back the covers, get up and walk over to the bassinet. Picking her up gently, I start to walk out of the room; I don’t want to wake Logan.
It’s been a week since we brought Jenni home from the hospital and we’ve been getting a routine set. It’s been exhausting, but having Logan here has been wonderful. He’s so helpful that I continually tease him that I’m shocked that he isn’t married all ready.
After nursing and changing her I walk slowly and softly down the stairs and settle into the couch in the living room, trying to get Jenni back to sleep. I start to softly sing a song that was sung to me when I was little; Little baby go to sleep into a slumber deep let me sing a soothing song you won’t be awake for long...
I hear a creak of the floorboards, stop singing, and look up to see Logan standing in the doorway. “Sorry, I tried not to wake you.” I say softly, gently rocking Jenni.
“You didn’t, Jen did.” He says walking towards me. “You should’ve let me get her; you’ve been up the last two times.”
“Well unless you suddenly are able to feed her, I should be the one to get up.” I say, moving over to make more room for him on the couch. “Besides, once you leave I’ll have to get up every time. I’m just getting in the habit.”
Logan sits down next to me and we sit in silence, him looking at Jen while I continue to rock her back to sleep. “She has your nose.” He tells me, brushing a strand of hair away from my eyes.
“And your eyes.” I say, smiling. He opens his mouth to reply but I cut him off.
“Shhhh…she just fell asleep.” I whisper. I then get up and slowly make my way back up the stairs to my room. After gently setting her back down in the bassinet I climb back into bed and pull the covers back over me.
I sigh as I lay me head down on the pillow and immediately start to drift off, rousing slightly when I feel Logan join me a few seconds later. “Max?” he asks softly.
“Hmmm?”
“Would you and Jen come back with me to Colorado?”
I open my eyes and look at Logan. “I’m sorry?”
He looks me in the eyes and repeats, “When I leave, will you and Jenni come with me?”
To say that this was totally unexpected would be correct. I don’t know what to think.
Logan must see my indecision because he says, “You don’t have to answer me now, we can talk about it later. Just promise me that you’ll think about it, ok?”
I smile. “I think I can do that.” I whisper, stifling a yawn. Two in the morning is not the time to be talking about life-altering plans.
Logan smiles at my yawn and says, “Why don’t you get some sleep? I’ll get Jen the next time she wakes up.”
I stifle another yawn and smile, “Sounds like a plan.”
“I love you.” I hear him say as I start to drift off.
"Mmmhmm." I say, snuggling closer to him.
****
A few days later I’m reading the paper at the table when Logan comes walking in. “Look who’s finally up.” I say, smiling.
“Yea well, some of us aren’t morning people.” He grumbles while making his way to the coffee pot.
“It’s noon.”
Logan just makes a face and pours coffee into a mug. Sipping it, he makes his way back to the table and sits down. We sit in silence for a while until Logan says, “So about the other night.”
“What about it?” I ask, putting the paper down and drawing up a knee.
“Have you thought about it?”
I bite my lip, not sure how to answer. “Some.” I admit. I have considered moving back with him, but I like the way things are and don’t want it to change.
“And…”
“I don’t know Logan, I came out here because I couldn’t deal with you and this at the same time. I like how things are working; me staying here, you flying in for visits, not having to deal with the SGC and IOA-”
“Ah, the real reason comes out.” Logan says, interrupting me. “You don’t want to come back to Springs because of what happened on Atlantis. You think that if we show up together with Jen the IOA will put two and two together and use that against Atlantis to shut it down.”
“Well I wouldn’t say shut Atlantis down, but it could cost you your job.”
“So this is all because you don’t want me to get fired?” Logan asks, raising an eyebrow. “Max, it’s just a job. If I get fired, so what? I have a guaranteed one at CI.” He leans towards me and we lock eyes. “I care about you and Jen; as long as I can take care of you two nothing else matters.” He takes my hand, “I don’t leave for a while, just think about it.”
I just nod my head, not sure what to say. We get through the day normally enough, but we’re both quieter than usual.
I know that he wants us to come back with him, and part of me wants to. But deep down I know that I couldn’t. I’ve just started to make a life out here and I don’t want to throw away the feeling of independence I’ve gotten since moving here.
