Coming Home For Christmas
Chapter 56

A Couple Of Days Later.. Lacey's

P.O.V

I've always dreamed of having that picture-perfect Christmas with my friends and family but most importantly with my kids and Logan.

Even if we weren't a couple and we were just co-parents, I always hoped that one day we could be civil enough to give our children the best Christmas ever. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Ebookex.com. Visit Ebookex.com to read the

On the flip side, I'd love to celebrate it with my family but I highly doubt the rift between me and my family can be healed in time and I refuse to rush myself in my healing process or in forgiving them just to celebrate one day with them, a day that comes around every year might I add, so we won't be having a complete family Christmas this year but maybe one year down the line we will.

Anyway, despite this, I'm still determined to have a perfect Christmas with my little family and with Logan's family, I may even invite my grandparents around for dinner on Christmas day but it all depends on whether they're spending the day with my parents or not.Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Ebookex.com.

Right now, I'm in my kitchen listening to some festive music while cooking a three-course meal for a family dinner I'm having tonight with Logan, the triplets, Carmella and Cade as the maids set up the dining room for us.

"Mummy, can you play that song again, please?"

My princess Teddy asks me.

"What song, baby?"

"The Christmas song, mum"

Well, that narrows it down to at least a thousand songs, my love.

"There's tons of Christmas songs, Teddy love, you have to be more specific"

"You know the one where the girl talks about what she wants for Christmas"

Oh god, not that one

Lord give me strength

Don't get me wrong, I love the song All I Want For Christmas but that was before it was played to freaking death every year

Now it's more like a yearly reminder to let us all know that Mariah is still in the land of the living and not because it's a classic song

"Baby, we can't play that one again"

"Why not?"

Sets

"Because...well because didn't you know? every time a Mariah Carey song is played around Christmas an angel is forced into retirement"

I say and she gasps

"Is that true, mummy?"

Nope but I'll literally say or do anything so that I don't have to hear that song again

"Yeah, it is"

"Wow...well, we can't allow that to happen, can we?"

"No, we can't" I say with a chuckle

"So, where are your brothers anyway? and why aren't you with them? normally you three are stuck at the hip with each other"

"Oh, that's because Dayton and Logan are up in their room playing something called COD which sounds pretty boring to me, I mean, why would you wanna play a game about fish?" She asks and I laugh

"Baby, COD is an acronym for Call Of Duty, it doesn't mean the fish cod"

"If you say so, mummy"

Teddy says and I smile

"So, is that why you're down here hanging out with your momma, huh? because your brothers are busy with their games?"

I ask whilst faking a whimper and a sob

"I've gotta say that hurts my heart, Teddy Louise...I can't believe you'd treat your poor mother like this"

I fake cry for extra dramatics and Teddy chuckles

"Don't get upset mummy, you're my number one mum"

"I'm your only mom, Teddy"

"Exactly but I've got two brothers who have to battle each other over who's my favourite brother, so you should be grateful" She says with a cheeky smirk and I

chuckle.

This kid is nuts

"Speaking of my favourites, where's daddy?"

"He's at work, remember, he should be home soon though"

Or at least I hope he will.

Otherwise, all of my hard work preparing this delicious food will be for nothing if my beloved husband doesn't show up "Mummy"

"Yes, Teddy".

"Is daddy still angry with Dayton, Logan and me?"

She asks confusing me

"Of course not honey, why would your dad be angry with you?"

"Because of the prank, we pulled on him the other day at grams house"

"Oh that"

I said while laughing

I honestly wouldn't say what the kids did the other day was a prank but it was funny as heck, well for me it was but it nearly put poor Logan

in the hospital with a heart attack

What happened is that after Logan and I's very steamy session in his office, we had a nice hot bath together before changing into some fresh clothes and leaving to go and pick up our triplets but when we got there, we found our children eating pizza and it had two sins on it according to my husband

The two sins were pineapple and ketchup

Now, how is this a prank? you're probably asking yourselves, well, Logan is a very proud Italian man and he sees things like this as disrespectful and an insult to his heritage

It also didn't help matters that this pizza was freshly made using a recipe which was created by his dear late nonna, so Logan was really upset about it, so much so that he didn't even realise it was a prank until his parents who were in on it by the way told him so and even then he still wasn't happy about it which isn't shocking or at least to me it wasn't.

I remember when we were in our teens, Logan got pissy with me because he caught me eating a pizza with a knife and fork and he wouldn't talk to me for days after that.

In my defence I hate grease, more specifically, I hate touching it, so that's why I was eating a pizza this way.

"You know daddy could never stay angry with you guys, especially over something as silly as that" "As silly as what?"

I hear my husband's deep, husky voice say as he walks into the kitchen looking like a damn Gucci model.

"DADDY!!" Teddy screams as she gets up and runs over to her dad

"Hi, princess"

Logan greets our daughter as he picks her up, he then walks over to me and wraps his arm around my waist as he kisses my cheek.

"Hey, baby" "Hi, love" Logan kisses my lips and I sighed in contentment

"So, what were my two favourite girls talking about?"

"Oh nothing, our daughter was just wondering if you're still mad at her and the boys for the little prank they pulled on you at your parent's house"

I say and I had to suppress a chuckle when I saw Logan's face darken

"You don't ever disrespect your heritage like that princess"

"Wait, so it's ok for people to get belligerent and dance on my heritage every year but you can't handle a piece of fruit and some sauce added ona pizza?" I ask jokingly and Logan rolls his eyes.

"Babe, everyone has got a little bit of Irish in them, so celebrating St Patrick's Day is a holiday for everyone"

Whatever

"Anyway, Teddy, can you go and get your brothers for me? I've got something I wanna show you all"

"Ok" Teddy kisses her father's cheek and leaves after he puts her down

When we were left alone, Logan caged me in against the kitchen island and buried his face in my neck

"Mmm, something smells delicious, my love"

"I hope so, it's all your favourites, I even made you your favourite dessert crostata al cioccolato"

I tell him and I found myself moaning when he bit down gently on my neck.

"f**k, I love it when you speak in Italian, Lace"

"Is that so, Il mio marito sexy?" (My sexy husband).

He once again groans and I chuckle...

Logan then placed kisses from my neck all the way up to my ear and my head rolled back from the sensation of his lips on my skin

"By the way, honey, you're my favourite dessert"

He says while licking and tugging on my earlobe just as the triplets come into the room

"DAD!!"

The boys shouted as they embraced Logan and I smiled at them..

"Teddy said you've got something you wanna show us, what is it?" Dayton asked as Logan rolled his eyes

"Impatient like your mother?"

Logan groaned as he placed his briefcase on the counter and opened it

He then pulled out a brown envelope and I instantly became intrigued to know what it was

"Do any of you know what this is?"

"No"

"Nope"

The boys said as our daughter rolled her eyes.

"You wouldn't have to show us if we knew, daddy"

Teddy says and we both chuckle.

"Well, I do...baby, can you read these for me?".

Logan pulls the forms out of the envelope and hands them to me.

I happily take them from him and read through what looked like legal Papers to me and my eyes widened as they watered upon seeing what each of them was.

"Oh my god"

This can't be real...
