LoganWe made our way through the hallway. I held Charlie with my right hand and Sophie's hand with my left. She was too busy scrolling through her phone, checking her emails when we got to the steps. I decided to take her phone away, turning it off and placing it in my back pocket. She pouted and gave me her puppy eyes, making me laugh, "You'll eat first. Then you can have your phone back. You need food in you if you're taking off for your spa day, ok?" She sighed, pursing her lips."Ok. Fine." She looked down like a five-year-old who'd just gotten in trouble. I smiled, pulling her to my chest and kissing her forehead. "Come on. Let's see what's for breakfast." I took her hand, kissed her knuckles, and began to walk downstairs.I was feeling jittery at the thought of her reaction once she glanced towards the kitchen. My heart beating rapidly in my chest, my hands felt clammy and I couldn't help the big smile on my face.I couldn't wait to see her

SophieWe drove down to the spa Logan had booked for us. It was a beautiful place. I had always wanted to come here, but it's just far too expensive for me. I get an allowance from my parents and extra money by helping out at their vineyard now and then, but most of my money is being saved for college.Or more like, I'm saving it for my expenses when I'm out there. My parents are already doing enough by paying for tuition and classes. It will be up to me to pay for all my expenses, though they refused the idea at first, they had no option but to agree.Plus, the spa was way out of town, and since I had no car yet, I never thought it would happen.We walked in and were greeted with a smile by some of the girls there."Hi, welcome. Do you have reservations?" One of the girls asked in a cheerful tone."Umm, hi. My boyfriend gave m

LoganMonday Morning. Sophie's birthday.I woke up super early today and text everyone that was going to help me surprise Sophie today. I wanted her day to be special.I was also nervous because we also had to turn in our assignment today with Mrs. McGee. I was dreading that part. But, I think overall, we did just great on that assignment. We for sure have a set grade on that assignment.Sophie had gone home to sleep, it was a bit weird to not have her in my arms when I woke up. Seems crazy how you become accustomed to having someone you truly love wake up next to you every morning that when they're suddenly not here it feels alienated. It just feels like something important is missing in your life. I love my girl, I can't explain how special she is to me. She's everything. My world.There were a lot of guys I had asked to help me with this task. They all agreed, and I was especially thankful f

Third Person POVDerreck Mitchell and the Spencer's arrived at the Chicago Airport around 2 in the afternoon. Tired, uncertainty and grievance were felt through the thick icy weather.After they each gathered their luggage, they decided on grabbing something to eat before heading towards their destination.Ashley was especially feeling anxious. She itched with the need to run into her daddy's arms. She could almost picture his face full of surprise and excitement when he sees them. She knows he's not expecting this surprise. She looks forward to their reunion, longing for each second to pass by quicker until the time comes for them to meet with him.Derreck sat next to Logan. He sat calmly, eating his food and making small conversation to keep Logan's mind at ease. He knew Logan was in no mood, his demeanor said it all. Dark aura and a stiff complexion that fought against self-control.How could he keep calm? His gut told him things were edgy from

Hailey:   (Flashback to late July)We sat at the doctor's office. My boys were due to come home in just a few more days, Aaron would have to start soccer practice in just a few more weeks.I have been having a bit of pain in my left breast. At first, it was bearable, but the pain keeps getting a bit more intense. Like a shooting pain, or as if there was a small needle pricking me in the same spots.I decided to go in for a mammogram. I was a bit scared, to say the least. My husband has always been very supportive of me, and since the day we were married, we have stuck to our vows. For better or for worse. I was honest with him and told him about my situation. Though there were no lumps or any visible evidence of anything being wrong, I needed to make such things were ok. That's when my obstetrician gave me the bad news. Soon as she mentioned to me that I should be getting a second opinion and further studies from a mammographer, I k
