Sorry for the delay, I lost my grandmother last week and I didn't feel like updating or even writting.

Chapter 38

Veronica was lying on her bed watching TV while Logan was sleeping on the couch next to her bed, with her hand in his, she moved her eyes from the screen to look at him. He has not left his side since they had found her, but she could not really blame him for that, if the situation had been reversed she would not have left his side. She was pulled out of her thoughts by knocks on her door, she turned around and watched Kristen open the door and holding a small balloon in her hand, Veronica smiled and told her to come in. She looked at Logan who was still sleeping, unsure of what to do or say, Veronica told her it was okay to talk.

"So what brings you here?" She asked her.

"I just wanted to see how you're since we haven't really had the time to talk since we found you."

"Well, several doctors osculated me and they all told me to rest."

"So how are you?"

"We're fine, according to the doctors the baby is as fine as the mother."

"It's a good thing."

"Yeah, I was worried about the baby even though I could still feel him move, but to ear the doctors say he's fine, is more reassuring. And now I have to reassure Logan."

"He's scared, he needs some time to be sure you're safe."

"Yeah, but with Logan it's worse than with any other man. My husband is like that, he wants to make sure I'm fine and our family is fine, didn't you see that guy at the door, my new best friend, hired by Logan and his best friend to protect me."

"It's normal, you're his wife and you're having his child and he probably loves you."

"It's not probably, I love her." Logan said waking up, he stretched out and smiled at Veronica when she met his eyes. He got up and kissed her softly on the lips. "How are you?"

"Fine, just tired to be in hospital doing nothing, do you realize how bored I'm?"

"Yeah, but the kids are coming over later if that makes you feel better. Your father is bringing them over after lunch, Ellie has bought you a little thing and something for the baby."

"You're so going to be broke by the time I give birth to this baby." She said laughing. Logan leaned over and kissed the top of her head, letting her know he was going to grab something to eat and drink, knowing she wanted to talk to the woman, face to face without him in the room.

"Very perceptive your husband."

"Yeah that's my husband, he knows what to do, when to do them and not to ask questions."

"Listen I'm really sorry for what happened to you, it's my fault, I shouldn't have let you leave this shop alone. If I had done my job better it wouldn't hav..."

"It's not your fault, it was my choice to go outside to call Logan and that crazy woman had her mind set on kidnapping me, you wouldn't have been able to do anything."

"If..."

"No don't feel responsible for my decisions, because it's no one's fault but that woman. Just be happy that everything ended well." Veronica said with a smile, knowing Kristen was blaming herself for what happened.

"Yeah, you know, I never really understood why you left the FBI, you were one of the best agents. But seeing you with your husband and children, I finally realized why, you didn't want to miss a thing, from your children's first steps to the picnics in the park with your husband."

"As much as I love my job, I loved my family more "

"I love my family and yet I have never felt the need to resign." Kristen said.

"You have a family?"

"Two girls." she said, and before she could say more, the door opened and Veronica's children walked in, followed by Logan.

"Look at what I've found. They were fighting with the nurse."

"She didn't want to let us come in!" Ethan said as he walked closer to the bed and hugged his mother. "We missed you mom. Don't ever leave us."

"I won't, don't worry." she said as she kissed her daughter who had been waiting for her turn.

"Veronica, I need to go, I just wanted to make sure you're alright. I've got to go home, I haven't seen my family in days."

"Okay, thank you for all you've done for me and my family, I won't forget it."

"I have only done my job and I needed to apologize for what happened all these years ago."

"Consider yourself forgiven then." Veronica said even though there was nothing to be forgiven. People make mistakes, move on and change, Kristen has done that.

Next time, I'm posting the final chapter, the epilogue
