A/N: This is the sequel to "Wedding Bells" I hope you enjoy it. Dick's ringtone is "Never my Love" by Association. Hope you enjoy it! Sorry, for any grammatical mistakes but I really wanted to post something up. I will make sure to get this revised soon.

This is where we left off…

"Wait! Does this make me Mr. Mackenzie?!"

Mac laughed, "No, it makes me Mrs. Casablancas." Dick had a huge grin on his face and began giving her sweet kisses again.

Mac stopped him and placed the ring on his finger, "I love you, Richard Mackenzie, Happy birthday!" and gave him a playful smile.

"I love you too, Cindy Casablancas."

Chapter 1: Brighter Than The Sunshine

Mac pulled away from Dick's embrace and looked him straight in the eyes, "I can't believe this is really happening… that you are my fiancée. I'm just sorry it took so long for us to get here."

"A wise tiny blonde once said that, 'Love would always find its way' and I believe it has." He gave her a quick kiss. "What did you mean earlier when you said that your life is anything but perfect? You didn't mention your family at all."

Mac looked down at the floor, "This is such a memorable day I don't want to ruin it by talking about depressing subjects. I will tell you later I promise just not now, please."

"Dinner?" Dick sensed that Mac was a bit reluctant about that subject and agreed that it was a day to remember so he changed the subject.

"Sounds great. Thank you." She gave him a slight smile as he walked her over to the chair.

Meanwhile in the next room…

Logan and Veronica were both lying in bed; Logan was holding Veronica tight against his bare chest while nibbling on her ear. Veronica molded perfectly into Logan's body. "I just love being here with you… in your arms."

"I love having you here with me." He whispered into her ear.

She slowly turned around to face him and gave him a sweet smile, "I know I don't it say it much but I love you."

"I love you too." He gave her a quick kiss. "Do you think that everything is fine between our two friends?"

"Now, that the yelling has subsided, my guess is that…" She yawned, "They are either making up for lost time or they killed each other." She said jokingly. "Let's enjoy the moment we only have a couple of days left." She said sleepily.

"Uh huh." Was all Logan said. Both quickly drifted of to sleep in each others arms.

The remaining of the trip went by spectacularly.

Back in Neptune a couple of days later.

Dick was really ecstatic about his engagement with Mac that he had it announced in the newspaper under the social pages as soon as they came back.

Dick was in the office finishing up some paperwork because he had a date with Mac for lunch in about fifteen minutes.

Dick's phone began ringing: ♪ How can you think love will end/ When I've asked you to spend your whole life/ With me (with me, with me)♪

He didn't have to look at his caller i.d. to know who was calling him. "Hey Beautiful. I'm almost done-"

"Dick, is there anything you want to tell me before we go to lunch today?" Mac asked trying to sound mad.

"Not that I know remember. Is there something wrong?" Asked Dick sounding worried.

Mac didn't mention she was standing right outside his office. She opened the door to his office and walked in, "Care to explain this." She placed the newspaper in front of him.

"Oh, that" Dick answered relieved.

Mac placed her hands on her hips, "You say it like if it's nothing serious. I thought we were going to keep this private; only friends and family, no media involved because of everything that has happened." Her voice was soft but that of concern.

Dick noticed this and walked over to her placing his hands around waist, "I'm sorry babe, I just couldn't help myself. I want the whole world to know that I am the happiest man alive because I have you." His response was so sincere and honest.

Mac gave him a quick peck on the lips, "I didn't mean to overreact. It's just, that it took me by surprise… you know."

The truth was Mac was mostly worried about a certain someone coming back into the picture and ruining her happiness.

"You didn't overreact; I should have told you before I made the decision of getting it published. I love you a lot and now the whole world knows or at least all of Neptune." He gave her a reassuring smile.

Mac stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him passionately, Dick tighten his grip around the waist while Mac placed her hands around his neck deepening the kiss even more. When the need for air became obvious they pulled apart.

Meanwhile at Mars Investigations.

Veronica was putting away some files that had been sitting on her desk for months; they were closed cases.

"Who's your daddy?" Exclaimed Keith as he walked into the office.

Veronica turned around and rolled her eyes at him, "I hate it when you say that."

"But it's so very true sweet child o' mine" Keith said not being able to hide his smile at the fact.

Veronica stood up and hugged him, "I missed you."

"Really? I barely noticed you were gone." He looked down at her and smiled once more, "Missed you too sweetie."

"Why are you so excited?" Asked Veronica sitting back on her chair.

"Keith Mars is back to being one of Neptune's finest." He answered.

"You're a sheriff again?" Veronica asked getting very excited.

Keith nodded his head.

Veronica jumped out of her desk and hugged him once more, "Dad, that's great! Now, things will get straighten up again."

"Honey, Leo is coming by today. We are going to talk business, when he gets here just send him to my office."

"Sure."

The last time she saw him was more than a year ago; when he was Gia Goodman's secret bodyguard. This was going to be somewhat awkward.

A couple of minutes Keith got an important phone call from the mayor and had to go downtown.

"I have to do a very important errand. Please, if Leo gets here send him to my office and ask him to wait. I will be back in a couple of minutes." He leaned down and kissed the top of his daughters head.

"Sure thing, pop." And out the door he went.

About fifteen minutes later Leo walked in, "I didn't know you were back in town."

"Hey, just got here last night, actually."

He nodded. The room went silent… Awkwardness was definitely in the air, making both very uncomfortable. Until, Veronica decided to break the silence, "My dad should be back shortly. He had to do a quick errand but said you could wait for him in his office."

He turned to look at her, "Veronica, can we talk?"

At the beach.

Logan had gone out surfing early that morning. He had missed the waves crashing against the rocks, the sounds it made, touching the wet sand between his toes, and the smell; it all brought comfort. After surfing for a couple of hours he just there enjoying the view and feeling the cool breeze against his very muscular body.

As he walked back into his house he heard his cell phone ringing countless times but didn't seem to find it.

When he finally came across it his caller I.D. showed 5 missed calls, the number was unavailable, he walked upstairs to take a quick shower, and placed his cell on the beside table near the bed. As he walked out of the shower with only a single towel hugging his hips and glistening drops of water rolling down his perfectly shaped abs; his phone began ringing again, the I.D. showed unavailable.

"Hello?"

"Logan?" The mysterious voice answered.

Logan needed to sit down, that was no stranger.
