Chapter 33

"I suppose that's alright, as long as I don't return to see blood all over the walls we'll be on good terms okay?"

  Logan watched Winston in disbelief while he left, the visitor who claimed to be Keira's uncle sat on a chair six feet from him. He had an average physique and neck-length black hair.

"You are Logan Daniels, I presume"

"I meant your niece no harm"

"You seem to be doing the exact opposite." He sounded bitter, Logan understood that anyone would with what he did and what he made her do.

"I understand that you hate me Mr. Miller_"

"I don't hate you, that's not the case, I just came to warn you. Whatever this is, walk away..."

"She told you"

Finn laughed bitterly "She's not even awake"

Logan blew his nose, his head was stuffy and he didn't feel so good, the room was starting to have an unsavory, humid feeling to it.

"Your mother told me"

He swallowed when Joanna entered, she looked unruly and unhappy, Melissa joined her angry at him and Amy looked apologetic.

"I'm embarrassed and upset, I know my son, I knew about this but I didn't think he would take it this far or compel the last born to keep silent" 

Amy whimpered.

Logan's mind couldn't get around Keira and what was going on.

"Winston said her pulse is not compatible with the last time, she's been in the bathroom for too long, her lungs collapsed."

Melissa took Finn's hand with a solemn look on her face, he sighed.

"I got the call at 4:35 in the morning"

"Where are you going?" Joanna said as Logan edged away by the walls, he rushed to the next room where Keira was plopped on the bed in a white hospital gown, Sam turned when he entered and frowned.

  He moved closer to her side, tubes were running up her nostrils, her pulse was still weak. Maddie, Finn's wife stopped him from coming nearer to her.

"Who are you? Stay away from her!"

  Maddie looked concerned as he was very queasy and he collapsed on the seat close to her if he ever left her side for a minute he might more than just lose it.

"Honey, c_can you hear me?" His voice was gravelly and he brought her cold hand to his face, the hand he felt that day at the den, the warm hand that touched his shoulder while they danced, all those little things were starting to have its place in his heart.

 They were cold but soft, it scared him to death at how still it was but he held on and kissed it warm. His chest felt heavy, he couldn't get a grip on his emotions, and tears started to drop.

"I take back what I said, I love you, it didn't take me a moment to realize that I like being around you, I still do...I sure as hell sound like an idiot right now but I'd be a bigger fool not to"

Maddie pulled Finn back with a considerate glimpse watching.

"Oh hell, for what it's worth, you can kick me and shove me or god knows what, just hold on, alright?"

He eyes lowered to her hand when he felt slight contraction on his.
