Chapter 1
The Truth Is Out
Logan POV
It is the morning after "the incident" as Veronica calls it.
We are in my house and I'm watching her sleep still don't believing my good luck. Funny thing, isn't it? Until yesterday I would have say the opposite, I felt the world was against me, against me being happy.
But who can blame me for feeling this way? All I had in my life were deception: My dad cheating my mom, my mom playing dumb and then leaving me, my girlfriend sleeping with my dad, my dad killing my girlfriend. I guess that complete happiness maybe takes a while.
What I still don't understand is how I could became the one that deception everyone. I hate them for the things they did, but I wasn't much better. I mean I didn't kill anyone but I did so much stupid things, and everyone who know me think that I'm just a dumb and immature boy.
That's why I'm still afraid of losing everything. I know that this last months change me and I'm ready to be myself again no that angry boy, but what if people keep thinking that of me? What if Veronica thinks that of me?
That's my real fear, how Veronica sees me, if she can trust me after all.
I know I can't ruin it again, now I have so much more to lose. So today is a new start for me: the day that I become a new person, the day that I stop being a boy to become a men.
-"Hey, where you watching me sleep?" - Veronica ask me once she's awake
-"Hmm"
-"That's creepy"
-"Nothing creepy about admiring my girlfriend beauty." – That gives her a huge grin and I start smiling to.
-"So what's the agenda for today? Staying in bed all day hopefully?" – I tell her really wishing to just stay here hugging her.
-"I wish. My dad must be going out of his mind that I didn't came back to sleep." – She says rolling her eyes
-"Well, what more could we do? You're already pregnant."
-"Yeah but he doesn't know that and for some reason I don't think he would be okay with it even if he knew."
-"So when are we telling him?"
-"I don't know. You want to tell him today? I promise you I would do everything in my power so that he doesn't kill you." – She laughs but I'm a little concern knowing that he owes a gun.
-"Thanks baby." – I tell her ironic - If you want to we could go to your house in a couple of hours.
-"Hours? What is your mind Mr. Echolls?" – Veronica tells me playfully, god I love her
-"I don't know, a shower maybe?"
-"Ok, Race to the bathroom!" – And then she leaves me in bed and starts running
Veronica POV
Today's been perfect; I hope my dad won't ruin it.
I know Logan is scare of my Dad killing him, but I know he won't. Don't get me wrong he would probably be upset and yell at me for not doing what he want for me, end up school and going to a good college - which is what I plan to do, but I guess now that is going to be so much difficult – but Dad doesn't hate him anymore. After watching the tape he understand that Logan just wants the best for me and that he had mistaken a lot of times but something in him had change.
I see it too, a few months before he would be this happy, caring and open when we were alone, now he is trying to be himself all the time and is weird but I can definitely get use to this.
We are in his car driving to my house and he is grabbing my hand. Suddenly he looks at me and smile, like he is really happy but I know he is hiding his nerves.
I know that these changes must be weird for him; he lost all his family and friends and thought he was alone. But things aren't going to be like that, I'm not letting them be like that. I know my dad will accept him in our family, and we will have our own baby. As for the friends, he would get them back, at least the real ones and not all those artificial boys and girls who liked him for his dad.
I'm not looking forward to school; I know that the last year should be the best one but I also know how all those riches boys are going to treat me once they know about the pregnancy or how are they going to ignore Logan for been with me. The things they think shouldn't affect me, but I know they will and with my hormones high it's not going to be very fun for Logan.
I feel the car stopped so I look outside and I see that we arrive.
We get inside the apartment and I call my dad.
-"Dad? Are you home?" – I yell
-"Yeah honey, glad to hear from you" – He tells me coming out of his bedroom
-"Hi Logan, how are you?"
-"Fine Mr. Mars. Trying to leave yesterday behind" – He laughs and I smile at him trying to get him more comfortable.
-"OK, would you like something to drink?"
-"I would. Water please" – I tell him
My dad hands me a glass of water and I gesture Logan that we should sit in the couch. Once we are sitting, my dad comes to the living and sits.
-"So, from the looks in your faces I guess you're going to tell me something. I see you're back together."
-"Yeah we're. But we also want to talk about something else." – I can see my hands shaking so Logan holds mine in his. My dad notice this and gives me an estrange look.
-"OK I guess I would just say it, but please don't have a heart attack." – I deep breath and shoot it – "Dad, I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby"
I'm trying to read my dad's face but right I can't identify what is he thinking. I look at Logan and he's reading to jump out of his skin.
-"Well, I didn't see that coming" – he tells us as he rubs his head.
-"I know dad. We did take care, but I just happened" – I start making apologies.
-"I know you're a responsible teenager. I'm not going to give you a speech but have you two think about what you're going to do?"
-"We're definitely having it"
-"Any plans for the future? Are you going to drop school or college? Have you thought about it?"
-"We didn't talk much about it but I'm not dropping school or college"
-"And how do you plan on doing that?" – He starts sounding irritate and then Logan talks for the first time.
Logan POV
I listen the whole conversation and I know that things aren't perfect, but we are going to be fine, we are going to be a family. And I know I would have to prove that to Keith, so I start telling him the plan I thought as I watched Veronica slept.
-"We could end up school normally. In the lasts moths of the year we would have the baby but I guess that teacher's would go easy on us and all understandable. Then next year we could go to Hearst University, is close and is a very good college."
-"It also a very expensive college"- Keith tells me raising this eyebrows.
-"I'm pretty sure that with the grades that Veronica has she would get a scholarship"
-"And what about working? How are you going to take care of the baby?"
-"We don't need working" – Both Veronica and her dad looks at me strangely and I correct myself – "I mean until we're done with college. The money that I have can last us a lifetime"
-"Logan, I'm not into the housewife's type at 18 year's old, ok?" Veronica tells me kind of angry
-"I know, I'm just saying that we can focus on college and maybe do our careers in 3 or 4 years and then we start working. That way we end up fast and we don't have to be much time without the baby."
-"That's actually a good idea" – Veronica smiles at me
-"I guess it is. I can't come out with a better one" – Keith tells us – "I'm going to take a walk, a lot to sink in. Whoa, I'm too young to be a grandpa"
-"You know you're going to love it" Veronica's hole face lights up with a grin. I really want to kiss her.
-"Yeah, yeah. See you later kids" And then he slams the door close.
I wait a few minutes and then attack Veronica's lips with mine. I feel her laughing and she breaks up the kiss.
-"I believe that went well"
-"I conserve every body part, so yeah" – I replied between kisses – "I can't wait for our future to really happen, for us to live together"
-"Us living together?" She ask me breaking the kisses
-"Yeah, I mean when we have the baby we're going to be living together, aren't we?"
-"Yeah, I suppose"
-"You don't like the idea?" I ask her lifting her chin. I'm really freaking out about her answer. The seconds she take to response felt like years.
-"No, isn't that. Is just that a couple weeks ago I thought that I would be going to college away from here and on my own. And now here we are about to have a baby, talking about stay in Neptune"
-"Is that a bad thing?" – Please tell me no
-"I don't think so, is just weird. Not what I expected, but I really want this Logan don't doubt that. Even if been a mom in seven and a half month is freaking me out. I don't know anything about babies" I had to laugh at it.
-"And you think I do? I don't even know what the parents are supposed to do. Mine weren't an example" I tell her trying to be ironic
-"I know, I'm sorry that I brought it up"
-"No, that's not what I mean. What I'm trying to say is that I don't have an idea about it just like you, but I believe that together we would get trough it" I grab her hand and kiss it, then her arm until I get to her lips.
-"What a family this baby would have. A grandma who kill herself, a grandpa that hit his son and then screw his girlfriend and killed her. Just perfect" I say smiling
-"Yeah, well from my side it would get my charming personality and one in four possibilities to be a drunk."
-"We would just keep her away from alcohol as long as we can" We keep talking while we fool around in the couch
-"Her? How do you know it would be a girl?"
-"I just believe it, but I really don't mind boy or girl" I start rising her shirt until she stands up.
-"OK, my dad is coming anytime so that is not a good idea. How about we start making the dinner?" I grunt and she smiles
-"Fine, but you shouldn't leave me like this"
-"Just wait until later" she winks at me and then disappears in the bathroom. God it's hot in here!
