She's Here;; [Logan, Shelby]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar looked over at him for a moment, thinking about it. It would be nice, having all of them there. A real family. Slowly, a smile came to her lips, "I think I'd like that too. Having the whole family together." She snorted at the name, Alexander Logan. Real original. It was obvious where the name came from, "Figures. I should have seen that coming from Graciela."

[Logan Vassler]

Logan smiles lightly before getting up slightly. "Hey, I didn't name him. If I did it would had been something like Matthew or Joshua, after your brother or mine." he says with a nod before laughing slightly. "Good it's settled. Let's get dressed so we can tell Molly."

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar sighed at the name of her brother. He would be 17 now. She looked over at him before nodding and standing up, gathering up her strewn clothes and beginning to get dressed. "She's going to be ecstatic. I already know it," She said with a short laugh.

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

"Sorry... I know how you feel. My brother played tonsil hockey with you when that crazy James kid killed him..."

[/b] he muttered to himself before grabbing his clothes as well and getting dressed. "I'm sure she will too." he says taking her hand and leading her upstairs to Molly's room.[/blockquote][/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar shook her head at the memory. She haden't seen James since school. She wondered how the idiot was, even if he kept alot of secrets from her. She shrugged at the memory and sighed, "Wish things didn't have to go down that way, though. It was awful." She smiled down at their hands and as they went to Molly's room, her thoughts wandered. How would Alex take the fact that she was leaving him, after all of these years, for Logan? She hoped not too bad.


Molly sat, watching the grown woman in shock. Had she completely lost it? She was sure she had. They were supposed to be playing a board game, but right as they walked into her room, she started destroying it. Pictures were strewn across her room, her guitar now had a couple of strings broken off, that made her really upset, and now Shelby was jumping up and down on her bed, singing at the top of her lungs. "Shelby! Stop it and sit down!"

[/color] She heard the door open to see her two parents and she pointed at Logan accusingly, "This is all your fault!"[/color] Then, she pointed at Shelby.[/blockquote][/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Logan sighs a little before glancing up at Shell. "Rubalyn Amarial Crescent, stop it now!" With that, her eyes started to water and she sat on the bed, frowning at her folded hands. "Now help Molly pick up her room or else you don't get any dinner tonight." he says as Shell jumped up and started putting things where they go.

Looking over at Molly he sighs shaking his head. "Well your mother and I have some good news for you though. You're finally getting what you wanted. Your real family together under one roof.

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar giggled at the sight, but when she seen her daughters prized possesion, her guitar, missing strings, she sighed. That meant she would have to buy her a new thing of strings, which costs money. Money she doesn't have at the moment. She shook her head at Logan and said, "Rubalyn, the quicker you get it done, the bigger the dessert you'll get." Might as well get it done faster.

Molly looked at her parents for a moment before grinning, "Really?!"

[/color] When her mom nodded, she let out a squeal and ran up to them both, wrapping them both in hugs, "This is the best day ever!"[/color][/blockquote][/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Shell glanced over and grinned like a four year old before trying to put everything faster away. Logan had to laugh a bit, seeing a thirty two year old woman rush around putting this away just to get a bigger dessert.

"Now that means that we'll be kicking you guys out of rooms more often..." he winks at her before hugging the both of them back.

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar rolled her eyes and hit him lightly on the chest. She smiled down at Molly then watched Shelby for a few moments. She was insane. She sighed and leaned against Logan for a moment, the fatigue from not sleeping in so long starting to get to her. "Molly, help Shelby and we'll go get something to eat, okay? Maybe try and get some more strings for your guitar," She said with a smile. Molly nodded and smiled, running over to help Shelby.

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Logan laughed a bit more, just holding onto Briar. She seemed to be overly tired as she heard her talk to Molly. "What should we get? Cooking or getting take out cause of the strings for her guitar?" he asks as he took a quick look at Shell and Molly before walking out of the room and starting down the steps again.

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar shrugged. Guitar strings aren't too much, but they still take alot out of her pocket. "Might as well get take out, because of the guitar. Besides, cooking isn't on my agenda right now," She said, following him slowly. Once they got into the living room, she sat down on the couch and sighed, closing her eyes. Maybe things would go smoothly, without anything to ruin things.

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Logan looked at Briar and sighed a little himself. "What's wrong hun? Guitar strings don't cost that much and I have plenty of money. Remember I have Sophie now so I still know how to raise children... not that I was that great of a father..." he says sitting on the edge of the coffeetable.

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar opened her eyes reluctantly, wanting sleep, now. Sleep was itching to take over. She smiled at him and held a hand out to him, wanting him to sit beside her. "I'm really tired, now that I've found Molly and know she's okay, the sleep that I'm been avoiding for the last week or so is beginning to get to me. I'm sure you're a good father, it's just everytime we got together, something happened. And I'm leaving Alex.. I'm afraid to how he'll react." She ran a hand through her black curls and shook her head.

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Logan moves over and sits next to Briar, wrapping his arms around her lightly as if to let her fall asleep he wouldn't mind if she took a nap before getting dinner. He had her back, what he wanted for more than ten years. "Don't worry. He isn't going to lay a hand on you while you're with me or not."

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar sighed and nodded, resting her head on his chest as she leaned into him, closing her eyes. Maybe she could nap, for a little while before dinner. She yawned a little before saying, "I doubt he'll try anything.. it's just a thought." She could feel herself drifting off, sleep finally wanted to take over. She felt her body relax before sleep took over her. Logan would wake her up, right?

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

"You never know with that man. Just go to sleep hun." he says before kissing her on the forehead.

................................

After about thirty minutes, he kissed her forehead again lightly. "Hun, wake up. We have to go get dinner for the children, including Shell." he says laughing a little bit before nudging her a little in the side.

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Molly walked down the stairs about 20 minutes later and stopped at the doorway of the living room, looking at her parents. A soft smile came to her lips. They were cuddled together, her mom sleeping with her head rested on her dad's chest. She walked in and sat down on the couch a little away from them.


Briar didn't dream, that was good. She was having a good rest, before she felt someone kiss her forehead and heard Logan's voice. She let out a whine before shaking her head and snuggling even more into Logan's side, "Five more minutes," She said sleepily, refusing to open her eyes.

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

"Briar Rae Va- Holmes... you said to wake you up and I am. So get your cute little butt up right now before I tickle you. See why you're so stubborn Molls? This person right here is one of the most stubborn people that I've ever known."

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar's eyes shot open and she sat up, "I'm up," She said before rubbing her eyes. "I'm stubborn? You're the most stubborn person I've ever met." She winked over at Molly and pecked him on the lips before standing up. "Where's Shell at?"

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Logan shakes his head before standing up as well. "I don't know what you're talking about." he exclaims before frowning a bit. "I don't know... crap." he mutters before running up the steps as his laughter boomed down to the living room.

Shell was all curled up on Molly's bed, sleeping under her covers with a teddy bear cuddling with her, right next to Shell. "Wow, this is just odd..."

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar smiled slightly, knowing sh was either sitll in the room or hiding. Raising kids helped you out. So, Shelby acting as a kid was a plus. She let Logan run up the steps and when she heard his laughter both her and Molly looked at one another then at the same time they ran up the stairs and to her room. They looked past him, to Shell, to see her sleeping with a teddy bear. "Aw!" Briar cooed while Molly rolled her eyes and pushed past them, to the sleeping woman.

"Rubalyn! Wake up or we leave and you get no dessert!"

[/color]Molly said, pushing her lightly at first, then getting rougher everytime.[/blockquote][/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Shell rubs her eyes slightly, before glaring up at Molly. "That's no way to act towards your Aunt, Molly. I guess I'll return your christmas presents." she says crossing her arms before realising that she was sleeping in Molly's bed... with a teddy bear. "Damnit... I'm so sorry. Wait. What went on when I was in loopyland?"

Logan just grins over at Briar before rubbing his neck briefly. "Um, Briar and I are together again?" he says giving Shell a weak smile before catching her roll her eyes before getting up and grabbing Briar by the hand and dragging her into her old room. Once in the room, she smacks Briar in the back of the head. "What is wrong with you?"

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar snorted at what Molly was doing to wake Shelby up and, surprisingly, she was out of loopyland as she called it. Her eyes flicked up to Logan's face before looking back at Shelby. He had answered for her, she wasn't all that surprised when Shell grabbed her by the hand and took her into another room. What did surprise her, though, was when she smacked her in the back of the head, "Ow! What was that for?! What do you mean what's wrong with me?"

[/size]

[Logan Vassler]

Shell rolls her eyes at Briar this time before glancing at her with an expression that said, 'Are you kidding me?' "He took advantage of me less than twenty-four hours ago! And you go and get back together with him when you know how much he's hurt you! What is wrong with you?" she asks again, this time not hitting her although, crossing her arms over her chest.

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar looked at her, a bit guilty and put her hand to the back of her head, looking down. "I still love him," She mumbled. Who knew what could happen? They could live happily ever after (Though she doubted it, something always happens to her) or he could fuck it all up again. With love, you had to take risks. She learned that.

[/size]

[Shelby Crescent]

"H-How? He has hurt both of us and yet... for get this. I'm leaving." she mutters before pushing through Logan and grabbing her clothes to change in the bathroom.

[/size]

[Briar Holmes]

Briar closed her eyes tight for a moment, feeling overly guilty. She wasn't used to having Shelby mad at her, it upset her. She opened her eyes and pushed past Logan aswell, grabbing Shelby by the wrist, "Shelby, you of all people should know how hard it is to leave somebody you love dearly. Think about this, please don't get mad at me about this."

[/size]

[Shell]

"Briar. It's Logan. If it was anyone else besides my father i would be okay with it." she mutters shaking her wrist loose before just glaring at her.
