"Oh my Rachel has finally decided to grace us with her presence." Paul said with a fake frown.
"Well I have been a bit busy" she said with a yawn showing off her rock.
"Fuck off!" he screamed taking her hand and examining the piece of stone on her finger.
She was crowded by all her friends and was back in her normal groove much like the way she was the day he first came to visit her. She was in her element with the people who truly knew her. Duncan, Veronica and Logan went to get some take out while Rachel caught up with her friends. They were coming back to pick her up in front of the school after. While she waited her past came and bit her in the butt.
"Well looky who came crawling back again, what couldn't handle it, wherever you were" snipped Tanya Best she was the prissiest girl at their school. Her dad owned a chain of dry cleaners and put her on his signs. This made her ego shoot through the roof. She was a little under six foot with long blonde hair that reached her butt and orangey tan skin. She was what some called a 'life size Barbie.'
"Actually I came back to talk to my friends." She said with a smile.
"really you have friends, o but no boyfriends, poor Rachel never good with the fellas" she said trying to get under her skin.
"No sorry Tanya she doesn't have a boyfriend but she does have a fiancé, now how many times has a gorgeous guy asked you to marry them?" he asked Rachel. "Twice now" he shook his head at Tanya. "And you?" Paul was a drama queen and Rachel loved it.
Tanya just shook her head in disgust, then focused on the 5 carat emerald cut diamond ring. "Sears?" she said trying not to drool.
"Winston" Rachel shot back.
"So let me guess he is some poor little computer geek that you sat on until he proposed." She said with a round of giggles from her three high strung minions.
"Actually…." Started Paul until Rachel stopped him whispering in his ear.
"let her hang herself" she said with a smile.
There was a scream "omg it is Logan Echolls" a flood of girls ran up the lawn and surrounded the tabloid star. Rachel did the same. She made her way to the front of the group and began jumping up and down.
"Like oh my god your like Logan Echolls, I love your dad he is like so great!" she said in her perfect Valley girl impression. "Like can I totally have your autograph" she looked over and saw Duncan carrying the bags of food with Veronica. "O my is that Duncan Kane. Holy crap I am like on total overload" she said pushing her hand over her chest.
Duncan looked confused as always and just rolled his eyes, here she goes again. "Give it a break Rachel like anyone cares what you think" Tanya snipped getting a little too close to Logan. "my name is Tanya Best" she purred.
"Okay….. Veronica some help" Veronica put the bag down and walked over sliding her arm around him and pulling him into a hug.
"He's mine" she said with a smile.
"That's alright there is always you" she nodded toward Duncan. She walked over and stood by him while she ran a hand up his arm.
"Rachel some help" he said imitating Logan.
"Actually I am kind of enjoying this" she said with a giggle.
"Wait a second you know her" she said her words drenched in disgust.
"Yeah…." He said confused, hadn't Rachel told anyone. "…she is my fiancé" he said looking over at Rachel and pushing off Tanya's grasping hand.
Rachel had the biggest grin on her face as if she was about to burst into song. Duncan walked over and gave her a true Hollywood kiss dipping her backward her leg slowly reaching to the sky. He leaned her up and she steadied herself that was a little too much.
"Thank you honey" she said gaining back her composure. Tanya had stomped off during their big display of affection as they all laughed. "Veronica, Duncan I do believe you met Paul already, Logan this is my good friend Paul" Logan tensed up as he remembered the name but couldn't remember who he was. Paul looked him over and licked his lips as if he was looking at a desert. That's who.
"Nice to meet you" he said in a masculine voice which made them all giggle.
"The pleasure is all mine." He said looking over Logan one last time before turning back to Rachel. "Where's Erin?"
"O she went home she had a term paper due" she said, "okay so remember the wedding is in two months December 7th, got it" she said trying to act stern.
"Okay" he said with a salute. She gave all her friends hugs before making her way back to Duncan's car.
"Now to the in-laws." As they crossed the Coronado bridge Logan tensed up and Veronica rubbed circles on his back. Rachel was plagued with a look of despair, like she wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words. They made their way to the small community and pulled up to a large two story mansion. She knocked on the door and was crowded with a large assortment of children expecting other kids. Two blonde angles came up and gave Rachel a huge hug. One was about 10 with short straight blonde hair and large brown eyes. While the other was around 8 with short curly blonde hair and the bluest eyes they had ever seen. "Happy Birthday sweetie" she whispered giving her a kiss. "Where is your mother" she said louder trying to get her attention.
A drop dead gorgeous woman came to the door, she was about as tall as veronica with wavy blonde hair and a small, toned body, she had flawless skin and eyes like her 8 year old. "Did I hear my long lost daughter" she said giving Rachel a hug.
She motioned for them to come in as they made their way through the living room, past the huge kitchen, and into the back yard. It was filled with Adults and teens, while the kids ran a muck inside. Rachel walked over and gave a tall man with short brown hair and huge black rimmed glasses a hug. They walked over and she introduced everyone "Barry this is Veronica Mars, Logan Echolls, and my fiancé Duncan Kane" the man's eyes darkened at Duncan.
"Am I going to have to get my gun" he said staring at him.
Duncan's eyes widened with fear, "Not if you want to come to the wedding" she said teasingly. He smiled sticking out his hand "Barry Franklin" he said. Duncan shook his hand and smiled as well "Duncan, sir"
"Sir, I like this boy already" he said with a grin, the quickly vanished "I do have a gun and I do know how to use it" he said.
"He is just teasing, he doesn't own a gun" she said shaking her head.
"You want a drink, we have beer, wine, mixed drinks." Mary offered. "O don't worry we don't care as long as you are staying until later." She said reassuring their position on teenage drinking.
"Okay I will have a beer, you want some wine?" Logan asked Veronica she nodded and Mary turned to the other couple.
"Beer for him, nothing for me thanks." She said dodging Barry's and Mary's stares.
"how far along are you?" Mary asked with a smile.
"What?" Rachel played hurt.
"The day our girl refuses free booze is the day that she is carrying a baby" Mary said with a laugh.
"You little tramp" Kelly said walking up to her mothers last comment.
"Two months" Rachel said ignoring Kelly's comment. "we were going to announce it after the wedding but people just keep figuring it out." She said with a smile.
"Let's get this straight, he is the one that knocked you up right?" asked Kelly. Everyone just stared at her. "What, she is gone three months I see her once and now she is pregnant and is engaged how am I suppose to know what else they have done to her up there." She said with a laugh.
Rachel's phone rang and she walked toward the house after checking the caller, ID. Veronica went to check on her and overheard her call.
"You were suppose to give me a days warning… that was the plan….fine but you need to give me time to tell him... okay I will call you after I tell him" she said clicking off the phone. Veronica took a couple steps back before Rachel turned around and walked up casually.
"Who was that?" Veronica asked knowing that the lie was to come.
"Weevil he wanted to know if I was alright he heard about the fight this morning" she said with a sugary sweet smile. Then was jumped from behind by a bunch of kids. "Okay I will play, who is it?" she said looking at the birthday girl her crown shown with the name Whitney.
"Stephanie is but if you play then you are it because you a newbie," she said pointing at Rachel.
"But what is Duncan plays?" she said looking over at her husband in training talking to Barry both men were really hitting it off.
"Well then he is it" she said.
"Duncan" she called. "Come play" she said grabbing his hand and leading him into the sea of kids.
Veronica couldn't help but wonder, who was that really on the phone? A day warning for what? What plan?
