“Yuck,” Finnegan exclaimed upon opening the door and finding Iris and Jaime lip locked with Basil and Willow on the porch. “Go away kid,” Basil grumbled distractedly by the hand Jaime had on his th…
One little kid makes a good chaperone or at least that’s what his parents are hoping. The next chapter of Not So Ordinary Life is available. It’ll be added to the queue but if you want to read it now just go to my WP Blog.

Resting her chin on his chest she nodded looking up, eyes shining with tears. “I’ll kick your ass if you die.”
Swiping a finger across her wet cheek he tilted her chin upwards “I’ll come back.” He pressed his lips to hers “I promise.”
“You better,” she stepped back when Iris called from the entryway. Wiping her hands across her eyes “that’s probably K.C.”
“I’ll be back,” he repeated, pulling her close, squeezing her tight. Taking several steps he stopped in his tracks “what are you doing here?” he demanded of the person Iris let inside his home.
Swallowing audibly “I’m coming with you.” Easton took several deep breaths before continuing “Luke’s my husband. I can’t sit back and wait. I have to do all I can to help.”
“Why does it have to be you?” Azalea demanded her fingers digging into her palms.
“You know why. I’m a doctor,” he took a step towards her, stopping when she snatched a nearby plate “Honey I know this isn’t what you want but what else can I do? Luke is family.”
Her bottom lip quivered as she set the plate down. “I know. I want to help. It’s just…” The words she didn’t say hung in the air around them. It was dangerous. She was scared. So many things could go wrong.
You’ll have to handle the clinic while I’m gone,” he said as if that was the most important thing, the extra work his absence would cause.
“I know,” she nodded “I’ve done it before. I can do it again.”
“You’ll be back,” she tried to sound confident but the quiver in her voice said otherwise.
“I’ll be alright,” he closed the gap between them pulling her close.
Twisting her hands in his shirt “don’t get yourself killed.”
“I won’t,” giving her a smirk “there’s too much work to do here.”
“Blaze I’m so happy you came. It’s going to be so much fun.” The boy grabbed Blaze’s hand and pulled him inside before he could resist.
“What are you waiting for? Go on, go play” Gabriel urged his daughter who hung back holding his hand. Looking for a second it looked like she would protest then she squealed running after the boys.
“I see you made it,” Azalea said as he entered the house.
“Yeah I thought a good home cooked meal would be nice for the kids,” he said, giving her a hug. He knew by the look on her face that she didn’t believe him.
“You better be careful,” Logan said shaking his hand. “Your sister’s already planning the wedding.”
“She’s just a kid” he protested, facing a rosy pink.
“You’re not exactly an old man” Logan pointed out “what are you 28? That’s not a big age difference.”
“I have two kids” he pointed out “I may as well be twenty years older than her.”
“And she has her kid brother to raise,” he pointed out “I fail to see the problem.” Laughing Logan shook his head “you know you like her…”
He opened his mouth to protest but what could he say? He’s used every excuse he could think of and yet he was here. His stomach had butterflies the size of birds flying around inside him. He’d never considered falling in love again. Losing Emma had ripped his heart out, it was a pain he’d gone through each time displacement event. Watching her suffer the loss of their kids had been unbearable and for that fact alone he didn’t regret changing the past. He only regretted that she didn’t live to see them grow up.
“They’re not our kids,” she reminded him.
“I know,” he sighed “but they live in our house. They have to follow our rules.”
“They will,” she assured him.
“But you told me how they reacted to the talk,” he pointed out.
“I think they know a lot already. Whoever their mother was I’ve gotten the distinct impression she wasn’t exactly celibate.”
“If that’s your way of saying she was a …”
Logan peeked out the window giving Azalea a smug look. “Sending Finn out there put an end to that suck fest.”
“You sound pleased about that,” she grinned at him. No amount of talking had made a difference but sending one small five year old did.
“I am,” he sighed “we have our hands full with Finnegan and his health problems. We don’t need to complicate things by having one of them get pregnant.”
“There’ll be chairs for you to sit on and Logan found an old wheelchair so you’ll have no problem getting to the cannery from here.” Azalea couldn’t help laughing a little at the girl’s dismayed expression.
“Once you two are settled I’ll take Jamie over to the store to get clothes for the two of you.”
“Why does she get to go” Iris whined “I want to pick my own clothes.”
“Because you have to rest” Jamie told her “besides I’m sure once your foot is better Azalea will take you to the store to pick out something pretty.”
“Oh alright” she huffed letting her sister help her to the bed.
