When Veronica walked into Lily's room, she was shocked at her appearance. Lily looked so peaceful. "That's my little angel lying there," Veronica thought. She looked at Logan and that he was thinking the same thing. Neither of them could afford to lose another beloved Lily in their lives. Veronica started to think back about better times in her life with Logan and her daughters.
"No Logan! Don't you dare drop me into the water. Mac! Dick! Somebody help! My husband is trying to get me into the water against my will!" Veronica shrieked, but Mac and Dick just sat there shaking their heads.
"Stop it, sugarpuss! No one will be able to save you now," Logan replied as Logan dropped her into the pool.
As Veronica surfaced above the water, she said, "Then you are coming in too," and she pulled him into the water.
When he resurfaced he started to tickle her, "you think that you are so cute. Don't you?"
"Stop it!"
"Not until you say mercy!"
"Mercy, please! I'll do anything!"
"Anything, you say?" Logan questioned as he stopped tickling her.
"Anything!"
"You do remember how Lily was conceived. Don't you? It happened right after we got out of this pool one day."
"Why do you want a sequel?" Veronica replied.
"We could try if you wanted to."
And that was the night that Megan was conceived.
Logan took Veronica's hand and they headed over to Megan's room. "She looks so peaceful like her namesake Meg did when I went to visit her," Veronica thought as she tried to choke back tears. She looked at Logan and he was acting the same way.
"Do you remember how Megan was conceived?" Logan asked.
Veronica just laughed and hugged Logan. "You always could make me laugh in some of the worst situations," Veronica said.
Veronica and Logan left the ICU unit with promises to come back as soon as possible. They went out to the waiting room and Logan held Veronica as she cried. In about an hour, Lily and Megan's doctor came out of the ICU unit. "I have good news," he said, "Lily is awake."
And without a moment's hesitation, Logan and Veronica rushed into their daughter's room.
And there was Lily, looking as beautiful as ever, with her eyes shinning. Veronica ran towards her and enveloped her in her arms. "Mom, can't breathe!" Lily choked out and Veronica instantly loosened her grip.
The moment Veronica let go of Lily, Logan pulled her into a hug. "We're so happy that you are okay sweetheart. Is there anything that I can get you? You must be starving," Logan said.
"Air to breathe," Lily choked out and Logan instantly let go. "God my parents just want to suffocate me!"
"Can we get you anything?" Logan repeated.
"No, Dad. I'm fine now."
"Thank god," Veronica said as she wrapped herself in Logan's arms again.
Lily was glad to see that her parents were being affectionate to each other again. "Maybe they will get back together," Lily thought, "I would love to have a normal Mommy and Daddy again." All of a sudden Lily jumped up.
Veronica jumped out of Logan's arms. "What wrong, sweetheart?" Veronica asked.
"I can't believe I forgot to ask. Where's Megan?"
Logan and Veronica told Lily what was going on with Megan and they all cried together.
Veronica decided to go home and shower, but she made Logan promise to call if there were any changes with Megan. Logan stayed with Lily.
"Daddy, do you ever think that you and mommy will ever get back together again?" Lily asked Logan.
"Sweetie, I honestly don't know right now."
"Well do you want it to happen?"
"Honey, you know that I love your mother." Lily nodded and started to think of a plan. The bring mommy and daddy back together plan.
Logan with Veronica and Lily's urging went back home to shower and shave. He did not want to leaver Lily, but Veronica practically demanded it. When Logan was gone, Lily asked her mother, "When are you going to forgive daddy?"
Veronica looked at Lily with astonished look on her face. Veronica had always known that Lily, just like her namesake, had the tendency to be very direct about what she was asking. "Honey, I honestly don't know if I ever am going to, but now is not the time to be talking about this. Not when Megan is lying in the room next to you in coma."
"I'm sorry, Mommy. You know that I want nothing more for Megan to wake up. She is my favorite sister."
And with that Veronica chuckled. Lily always did know how to lighten up the situation. After Veronica had kicked Logan out of the house, Lily started to jokes to Veronica and Megan and it always lightened up the situation.
"But mommy, I have to ask. Do you still love daddy?" Lily said as Veronica startled getting out of her trance.
"Honey, I love your father more than you will ever know, but I honestly can't think about it anymore right now."
"It's okay, mommy," Lily said as she smiled to herself. "Now I at least know that they still have feelings for each other," Lily thought, "Now I just have to wait until Megan wakes up and then Megan and I can set my plan into motion."
The next day Lily was moved out of the ICU unit. Logan, Veronica, and Lily were all happy about it, but what they really wanted was for Megan to wake up. After Lily had fallen asleep, Logan and Veronica went to visit Megan. Logan took Veronica's hand to support her. "Megan's a survivor. She is going to get through this. We are going to get through this. Do you remember the day Megan fell out a tree? She is going to be fine," Logan said to Veronica. Veronica nodded and thought back to that day.
"Mom, I am going to be fine. It's not like I have never climbing a tree before," Megan said.
"I know, honey. I just don't want you to get hurt," Veronica replied.
"Ronnie, come inside. Megan isn't going to hurt herself," Logan yelled outside.
"Fine, I'm coming, but Megan, I'm watching you."
Veronica walked back inside where she was treated to a heart stopping kiss. "Well, I guess what I said to Megan was blown out of the window," Veronica thought as Logan's tongue delved into her mouth. However, just as Logan was about her suck on her pulse point, Veronica heard a blood curling scream and Veronica and Logan separated and ran outside to Megan. She had indeed just fallen from the tree and she was holding her wrist.
"Momma, it hurts," Megan whined. Logan and Veronica rushed her to the hospital. It was only a broken wrist, but after that Logan and Veronica were very protective of their youngest child.
When Veronica and Logan entered her room, Veronica ran over to her daughter's still comatose form and held her in her arms for a good five minutes. "I just wanted to tell you that daddy and I love you. We need to you wake up soon because we don't know what we would do without you. You are my littlest angel and I need you in my life more than ever. Come back to me please," Veronica said with tears in her eyes. Logan had the same expression on his face. He hugged his littlest daughter and they left Megan's room arm in arm.
They went back to Lily's room and she was siting upright in her bed. "I was wondering where you guys went. How's Megan doing?" Lily asked.
"Nothing's changed, Lily," Logan replied.
"But she's going to get better, isn't she?"
"We hope so," Logan answered.
All of the sudden Megan's doctor walked into the room. "I have some news to share with all of you," the doctor said and Logan, Lily, and Veronica all stared at her face looking for a glimmer of positive news.
