Chapter 12: Talk To Me!
=========================
Duncan drove to the address Alexis wanted to go to and even Pamela wasn't too sure about this, Alexis how ever seemed heart set on it and wouldn't take no for an answer, she wants to help Logan and this will hopefully do it.
Duncan: Okay, we're here...
Duncan parked the truck looking out Pamela's side window while she and Alexis looked to probably the last place Alexis should be right now...
... Alexis knew she probably shouldn't be here but she needs to help Logan and Hailee is the only one who hasn't tried.
Duncan: ... You want us to wait?
Duncan asked since it probably won't take long for Hailee to send Alexis away, Alexis nodded to them before sliding out the car, literally and landing on the floor, Pamela and Duncan watched as Alexis walked over to the buzzer, Alexis took a deep breath and pressed the buzzer waiting... and waiting...
Hailee: What do you want?
She asked, she sounded more tired then angry of seeing her at the buzzer, Alexis was going to say something but just stuck to her helping Logan.
Alexis: I need you're help...
Alexis practically begged but Hailee wasn't interested in seeing Alexis right now, she's still not sure who she's more mad at, Logan for cheating on her, Alexis for going along with it of herself for not seeing it sooner.
Hailee: Just leave me alone.
Alexis heard the buzzer cut off but in one last ditch effort just told her why she came here in the first place.
Alexis: Wait! Logan needs your help...
Was all Alexis said hoping that Hailee would help her but then again why would she, Alexis and Logan broke her heart and they deserve more then the silent treatment, Alexis knew it but she needs to be here right now to help Logan, he's going to throw everything he's worked on to achieve.
Alexis sighed though and went to walk away, Duncan and Pamela were proud of Alexis for trying but looked disappointed that it didn't work starting the engine, that was until the gate behind Alexis opened, Alexis smiled glad she's going to at least talk to her face to face.
Alexis waved Duncan and Pamela off walking through the gate, Duncan drove off heading back home while they were both happy to see Alexis walk through the gates and Alexis grew more and more nervous as she walked closure and closure to the door.
Alexis took a deep breath while knocking on the door and waited till Hailee opened the door...
... She looked even more tired the Logan and a small baby bump started to grow, it's not noticeable unless you know it's there and since it's going to be her nephew or second niece it's clear to her.
Hailee: What's wrong with Logan?
Hailee asked, Alexis noticed she was actually worried about him, she clearly still loves him and what's not to love, he's kind, caring and handsome, he's just confused right now.
Alexis: Can I come in?
Hailee thought about it but nodded letting her in walking through to the living room, Hailee sat down on the sofa with Alexis following her actions, Alexis was about to answer Hailee's question but before she could a bark ran out through the house causing them both to look to the back patio doors.
Alexis was surprised to see a White Siberian Husky with amazing blue eyes ran through the door...
... The slightly older then a puppy, pure white dog happily jumped on the sofa next to Hailee as she smiled fussing the dog.
Alexis: Wow, cute dog.
Alexis fanned over the dog, she's a total dog person and knows that this is Logan's favorite dog bread.
Hailee: Yeah, this is Thor. I got him the day Logan...
Hailee stopped what she was saying looking to Alexis as she looked down a little in shame and embarrassment, she knew that she would feel this way coming here but needed to be here to help Logan.
Hailee: ... Well, you know...
Alexis gulped as Thor layed his head on Hailee's leg as close to her growing bump as he could, Hailee happily petted the dog.
Hailee: ... Logan wanted him and since he gave me what I wanted...
Hailee patted her stomach indicating to the second child they made together making Alexis feel even worse for pressuring Logan into what they did.
Hailee: ... I wanted to repay him but then the news got out.
Hailee looked away from Alexis and down to the dog taking a deep breath trying to get some sleep on her lap.
Alexis: About Logan...
Hailee looked over to her and remembered that they are friends, she and Alexis have been close since she started dating Logan, she also saw how much they cared about each other, Hailee just didn't know how much till now.
Alexis: ... He really needs you're help.
Hailee looked visibly worried about Logan and it showed to Alexis that although she fells like crap for coming here she made the right choice.
Alexis: He won't talk to anyone and when he does he just shouts at them. He won't even talk to me but maybe he will to you...
Alexis wondered looking over to Hailee as she stroked Thor's head letting the dog rest while she thought weather she's ready to see Logan again or not, she just opted to be honest with Alexis like she was with her.
Hailee: I knew you liked Logan you know.
Hailee looked to Alexis as she blushed a little, Alexis looked down with slightly red cheeks playing with her thumbs, Alexis was going to lie to her but that would have been pointless right now.
Alexis: What gave it away?
Alexis asked looking up to Hailee, she didn't look hurt, angry or even upset, she just looked disappointed.
Hailee: It started when you two weren't talking, I knew something was up. Then I heard you two talking in the bed room...
Hailee sat up making Thor jump off her lap and run upstairs, Hailee moved to sit next to Alexis while she shifted to face her.
Hailee: ... Why didn't you talk to me first?
Hailee asked catching Alexis off guard, Alexis looked to Hailee while Hailee smirked to her looking as tired as she's ever seen her, even the small amount of make up she's wearing isn't hiding the bags under her eyes.
Hailee: It's not the fact you two did what you did but it's the fact you didn't tell me. I would have been happy to share him with you Lex.
Alexis shook her head trying to make sure that she heard her right, Hailee chuckled at her reaction and decided to just help her out.
Hailee: Logan's a great guy and when we first got together, I wasn't sure if he would leave me for you. So I taught myself to learn to love him with you in the picture...
Alexis didn't expect this talk to go in this direction and isn't really sure how to react.
Hailee: ... Everyone could see you two loved each other more then brother and sister and since you're not actually related, I never saw a problem with it. I just hated the fact you both kept it from me.
Alexis understood what she was saying and still wasn't sure how to react so she just did the first thing she could, which was to hug Hailee, Hailee was caught off for a second before she hugged the 5x time Women's Champion back.
Hailee: So what do you say? Can we share the big oath?
Alexis let go of the hug and looked to her nodding which caused them both to smile and chuckle, who would have thought that a boy found under a bush in Columbus Ohio would be one of the best MMA fighters and have two beautiful Girlfriends.
McKenzie: Mommy! The doggie keeps chasing me!
Hailee and Alexis looked to see McKenzie run down the steps laughing and giggling while Thor followed her, McKenzie ran around the sofa before Thor tackled her to the floor licking her face over and over.
McKenzie: Stop doggie!
She giggled while trying to get the dog off her but the thing with laughing, it kinda makes you weaker and she wasn't that strong before being only 4 years old.
Hailee and Alexis giggled to them before eventually helping them, Hailee pulled the dog off her before Alexis helped McKenzie off the floor eventually allowing McKenzie to see that her aunt Alexis is here.
McKenzie: Aunt Lex!
Alexis smiled getting her legs hugged by the small Kaufman, Hailee might have kept her name but they gave McKenzie Logan's surname.
McKenzie: Do you know if daddy won his fight?
McKenzie asked looking up to Alexis, Alexis held her close to her legs before lifting her into her left arm.
Alexis: ... Um...?
Alexis looked confused to Hailee while she put Thor back on the ground, Alexis then realised that she must have told McKenzie that he's away for work which is why he hasn't been home in a few weeks.
Alexis: ... I'm not sure, when we see him next we'll ask him.
McKenzie agreed with her looking over to Hailee as Hailee spoke next gaining their attentions.
Hailee: Why don't we go see him now?
Hailee asked and they all agreed, Hailee made sure that Thor needed everything he needed to keep him entertained while their gone, the trio left the house, Hailee looking a little more relaxed after letting that off her shoulders, Hailee opened the garage to show their car.
Alexis helped McKenzie in the back seat making sure she's secured before joining Hailee in the front seat.
Alexis: Do you know where he is?
Alexis asked as she has no idea where Logan's been going these passed few weeks, Hailee however nodded before turning on the electric engine and heading to where she's pretty sure Logan is...
=========================
Logan's at the Beach in Miami as he looks out into the ocean watching as the moon raising above the horizon...
... Logan sighed with his hands in his pockets thinking about the life he destroyed, he lost the women he loves for the women he loved growing up and still has feelings for, Logan knows he's the bad guy in all this for betraying Hailee but he really tried not to fall for Alexis.
What would you do in his situation, and before you judge just know that Alexis shoved her tongue in his mouth when he crumbled.
Logan: You really fucked it this time, idiot...
Logan picked up a nearby stone and skimmed it across the waves, it's not easy to skim on the ocean because of the waves but Logan still got a few skips.
Logan didn't even care about losing the fight coming up, he might even just pull out of the fight before it even got there letting another take his place, Logan fights for a purpose, whats the point of him fighting when his purpose is Hailee and she's gone.
Hailee: Hey champ...
Logan turned around and saw her walking towards him, Logan was so happy to see her but didn't want to ruin this already so he just stood there while she stood next to him nudging him a little.
Hailee: ... Did you miss me?
Logan smiled to her smile while Alexis stood by the car with McKenzie in the backseat sleeping the night off.
Logan: I'm so sorry for what I did.
Logan looked to her and thought it best not to lie anymore, the only thing is the truth will get him in more trouble then not.
Hailee: I get it...
Logan looked to her standing on his left still looking out to the ocean where the moon is slowly rising higher into the night sky.
Hailee: ... If I liked women, I'd have done the same thing...
She winked to him making him chuckle and laugh, Alexis heard him and for the first time in weeks he is actually smiling, just a few seconds in Hailee's presence and he's becoming the Logan they both fell in love with again.
Hailee: ... Now what's this about you throwing the fight?
Hailee asked as he's not so much throwing the fight he's just not focusing on what he needs to do, Duncan can make him a Champion, all he needs to do is know that Hailee believes in him.
Logan: I can't do it without you.
Logan said honestly and it was slightly true, he met Hailee when he was 16 and started fighting at 18, now he's 23 and has the professional record of 10 wins and still unbeaten, every fight with Hailee be his side.
Hailee: That makes no sense, I'm not the one fighting, you are.
Logan sighed and decided to tell her what's been really bothering him for the passed 23 years and it's something she suspected but Alexis didn't.
Logan: Do you know what's it's like to be left by the people who gave you life?
Hailee held his hand sitting on the sand pulling him down with her, Logan sat on the still slightly warm sand hand in hand with his wife as he finally spoke about his birth parents.
Logan: They didn't just give me up, they left me for dead. They didn't want me to live. If it wasn't for Alexis I'm not sure if anyone would have took me in and saved me.
Logan knows all this from when Bob told him about it on their wedding day, it's been running through his mind since then, he always knew he was adopted but to be left under a bush instead of at an Orphanage, he can't help but feel they left him to die.
Hailee: Well, it's there loss.
Hailee made him look at him as he was looking to the sand playing with the minuscule rocks, just seeing her smiling face already made him feel better.
Hailee: Now do me a favour...
Logan listened to her as Hailee's lips turned from a grin to a gleeful smile.
Hailee: ... Win...
Logan knew she meant about the fight and felt that fire ignite back inside him now that Hailee's at least talking to him again...
