Chapter 7
Veronica looked at the small baby in her arms, counting its fingers and toes when Logan sat down next to her.
"You are counting his fingers and toes, aren't you?" he asked with a smile. Veronica blushed, keeping her eyes on her son.
"No, I was just looking at this beautiful baby. I know he is perfect, why would I want to count..."
"He has eleven toes, I hope..."
"No! Ten toes, five on each foot!" she cut him off before realizing he had trapped her. Laughing she kissed the baby's head, then handed him to Logan. "He's beautiful."
"Just like his mother, I think he is going to have your looks and my brain."
"God help us! The world isn't ready for another Logan, one is enough."
"Shh, don't say such thing in front of our son, he can hear you."
"Our son." Veronica repeated with a smile. They had often called him that when she was pregnant, but to say it with the baby in their arms made it much more real. "So, how long are you staying?"
"I don't know, I rented a jet so I could come here. No one knows I'm here, except for Duncan. He called as I was on my way to have lunch with Trina. I just hope she doesn't grown a conscience and decide to call the cops because I've disappeared."
"You should call her to let her know what's going on."
"You want me to call Trina to tell her I have a son? Are you crazy? She is going to go to People Magazine, or Entertainment Weekly, telling them I have a child with a FBI agent, the same girl who's sent my father to prison! Do you really want to have photographers on your back?"
"Logan, she is your sister..."
"No! I'm not telling her!"
"Are you ashamed of me or the baby?"
"I'm not! Why would I be?"
"What was I supposed to think? She's your sister Logan. Don't you trust her with this?"
"Veronica..."
"No, you should go home and change."
"Are you kicking me out?"
"If that's how you want to call it. Now leave before we say things we might later regret." Veronica said trying to keep her voice low so as not to wake the baby up.
"Ronnie..."
"Just go! We will talk later, right now I'm tired and I want to sleep."
"If that's what you want. I will be back later with a bag of your clothes."
Veronica nodded and watched him kissed their son's head. She closed her eyes when she felt his lips on her forehead, she didn't want him to see her cry. She knew it would hurt him more than anything to see a tear roll down her cheek because of him. She waited until the door was closed to open her eyes and cry softly.
Logan leaned against the door after closing it. It was all his fault for not wanting to tell Trina about the baby. He was afraid his sister would do what she did best, go on every show to sell their family secrets for five minutes under the spot line. He just wanted to protect Veronica and his son from being hurt because of who he was and what his parents had done.
He was walking past the waiting room when he saw Duncan, Meg and Keith sitting on the uncomfortable chairs. He and Veronica had completely forgotten about them, they were too busy watching their new born.
"What's up?" he asked walking into the room, as if nothing had happened. They immediately jumped on him and started asking questions about Veronica and the baby. He laughed and started to answer to them, one by one. "The baby and the mother are fine. Our little guy's name is Ethan Benjamin Echolls or Mars."
"It's cute!"
"Thanks Meg. If you want to see Veronica you can go in but she is tired."
"Okay." Duncan said as they were going there but stopped to look at Logan who was walking towards the elevators. "Where are you going?"
"Home, Veronica kicked me out."
"What?"
"We just had an argument about me not wanting to call Trina. I'm going home so I can change and bring her her clothes for later."
"Logan..."
"It's nothing Keith, your daughter was right, it's just that I'm afraid of what Trina would do with that information, I don't want her to go to the press to tell them that Veronica and I have a child."
"Maybe you should go back in her room and try to make things better." Meg said taking him by the arm to lead him to Veronica's room. "You aren't going to leave this hospital without talking to Veronica and making things right."
She opened the door and pushed him in the room before closing it behind him. He stayed where he was and looked at Veronica who was sitting on her bed watching him. When he saw she was crying he moved towards her bed and took her in his arms, apologizing for what he did. They stayed a few minutes like that, until Veronica pulled away and wiped away some the tears that had fallen.
"It's nothing, it's stupid, really."
"You were crying because of me. I'm sorry Ronnie, I just don't want Trina to turn our lives in some kind of circus."
"It's my fault, I don't know why I reacted like I did..."
"Veronica, I know you well enough to know you never cry without a good reason, so tell me."
"I'm afraid you are going to leave me now that the baby is here, maybe you will realize that you don't want to be part of the baby's life because of the work and the secrets and because..."
"I'm not going to leave you, I'm here to stay. You can trust me Veronica, I'm not going to leave you, you are my family. I'm not like my father."
"I know, see I told you it was stupid." she said with a smile as he used his thumb to wipe away her last tear.
"Maybe but you should have told me all these things before picking a fight with me."
"I promise to tell you everything and not keep it all inside, happy?"
"Yeah." he leaned and kissed her to seal their pact. "We should let the others in, I'm sure they are listening to what we are saying through the door."
"Okay."
