"Daddy!"

Veronica smiled as she heard their daughter's impatient voice call out to Logan. "You're being paged sweetheart." She said as she finished tossing the spaghetti with the meat sauce she had made.

Logan rolled his eyes as he followed the sound of the voice to the foyer. "Yes, my princess?"

"I want a piggyback ride."

Logan stood there with an eyebrow raised.

"Daddy can I please have a piggyback ride."

Logan smiled and turned around so that she could hop onto his back. "Why don't we go help Mommy make dinner?"

"Okay."

Logan walked back into the kitchen. "I found us a helper Veronica."

"Hi baby. You want to help Daddy make the salad?"

"I'm not a baby mommy."

"I know Meg, but you're the youngest. Daddy and I are always going to consider you our baby." Veronica said as she took some lettuce out of the refigerator and handed it to Meg. "Please start tearing this up, while Daddy slices the tomatoes."

"Where are Nick and Jamie?"

Logan looked at the clock, "They should be home any minute from baseball practice."

"Where's Rhiannon?"

Veronica looked over at the calendar they had to put up in the kitchen, it was the only way she and Logan could keep up with the children's after-school activities. "She has play practice, then she and Dillon will be here tonight having a movie night."

"They kiss too much, almost as much as you and Daddy do."

"I can't help it princess, I love kissing your mother." Logan said as he gave Veronica a quick kiss. "And I love kissing you." He said as he gave Meg a big kiss on the cheek.

All of a sudden the front door slammed open. "Mom we're home!"

Veronica called out without breaking her stride"You'd better not leave your cleats by the door. I want you both upstairs and in the shower in the next few minutes. One of you can use Meg's bathroom, but clean up after yourselves!"

"Yes Mom." the two voices spoke as one.

"You're good wife."

"What can I say they take after you in more than looks husband." Veronica teased as she put in the two sheet pans of garlic bread in the oven. "You clear your schedule for opening night?"

"Clear as crystal, the roses are also on order and will be ready for pick up."

"Logan!"

"Hey I've stuck to all our rules. Rhiannon got a car when she was sixteen, she has a charge card but it's not unlimited. It's tradition. On every one of her opening nights I give her a dozen peach roses. Can't break with tradition now can I?"

Twenty minutes later, Nick and Jamie, their twin boys, had finished setting the table. Logan and Veronica had finished bringing out the food and placing it on the table.

"Logan I'm worried. Rhiannon usually calls if she's running late."

"Don't worry, I'll call her." Logan took out his cell phone and called his oldest daughter, When it went straight to voice mail, he began to get a little worried himself. "She didn't pick up."

Veronica exchanged a glance with Logan.

When the knock came on the front door, Veronica felt a dread she hadn't felt since the day Lilly was found dead. "Logan."

Logan almost beat her to the door. It didn't do his heart any better to see what was on the other side of the door. "Sacks, what are you doing here?"

Sacks swallowed uncomfortably, "There's been an accident."

Veronica came forward, "Where's my baby?"

"Veronica."

"I want to know where she is."

"She's at the hospital."

Logan gathered his wife next to him before she could collapse. He didn't want to ask the next question, but he had to. "Is she alive?"

"Barely."
