Did you break out of jail?

I traced my finger across his chest, writing out our names. I watched my finger as I asked Logan, who was running his hands through my hair

"Logan?"

"Hmm?" He responded quietly

"Did you break out of jail?" He vibration came from Logan's chest; he was laughing.

"No. They let me go" he answered. I nodded

"Okay, good. I was worried that I'd have to lose you again"

"I almost got a job too"

"Why?"

"Because we would run out of money sooner or later"

"You don't need to be working when you are going to have a baby" he explained softly. I rolled my eyes; not meaning anything by it.

"I know. But I was scared.......still am" I said then turned my head so I could look at him. He tucked a few stray strands of hair behind my ear.

"I'm here, now. You don't need to be scared" he soothed

"What are we going to do after this baby is born?" I asked sitting up now. It could be bound to be an argument

"Go back to our lives. You think that just because we have a baby life is going to change?"

"Logan, it will change. Our baby isn't going to stay asleep in the middle of the night. And it's going to be hard, how am I going to feed him and clean and do everything that is normal when you have a kid when it's all happening at once-?" He stopped me

"Whoa, whoa. Do you think that you're on your own here? Tru. It's my baby too. We are in this together" I sighed

"You don't like kids, how are you going to keep your word?"

"Who said I didn't like kids?" He raised his voice a little

"I can see it in your eyes. You're scared, you don't know what to do" he raised an eyebrow at me

"Tru. I want this" he told me. He took my hands in his, pulling me to him he pecked my lips then felt my stomach

"We are in this together. I will not leave you behind in this, I will not leave you alone"

"Then why don't I feel like it?" His soft smile slowly dissolved.

"You don't love me?" He asked; let down. I shook my head

"No. No no no. I do love you. I don't feel like you love me, and I'm scared that you'll leave me after our kid is born"

"What am I saying we aren't even together. What I mean is, I don't want you to leave me behind, I want you to be by my side the whole time" I explained quietly.

"I do love you"

"Why don't I feel like you love me then?"

"I have an idea" he said. I waited for the answer. He didn't

"What is it?" he leaned in and kissed me softly. I wrapped my arms around him. He did the same. After a minute he pulled away and spoke

"We can't go to our parents tomorrow"

"Why?"

"Because I want more time with just us, one day isn't long enough" he kissed me again then lay down.

"Okay. What are we going to do tomorrow?"

"Hang out" he said simply.

We lay in the bed cuddling for the remainder of the night. It felt so good to be with Logan again. I got chills every time I thought about it. I snuggled up to him closer and looked at his face, he was watching me, I didn't know what to say. I was to happy to. I kissed him then I lay my head back on his chest. He stroked my hair and whispered softly
