So I know I have been putting a lot of twists in the story but it is just I don't want to stop writing and I just keep getting ideas. I just love the characters in this story so much that I don't want to end it and start a new one. So if it is annoying you then tell me and I will see what I can do. But trust me I can go on for as long as you like, I mean there is always the next generation.
I do not own Veronica mars or any of the characters besides Rachel she is my pride and joy! I hope you enjoy the story, it is a prequel to my first story 'The Greatest Love' I hope you like them both. Long Live the King Rob Thomas!
Duncan sprang up from his seat all he could think about was if Peter was there with Rachel. They all dashed over to see Rachel frozen in place glaring at a girl. She was in her twenties she was tall with long blonde hair pulled up in a ponytail and a short skirt that barley clothed her legs. She was skinny with huge breasts and looked like she was fresh off of a playboy shoot.
"Now Rach that is no way to talk to your cousin." The girl said a gleam in her eye.
"GET OUT OF HERE" by this time everyone in the quad was watching.
"What's going on" Duncan said worried.
"Well nothing until now" The girl said walking toward Duncan and trying to kiss him. Within a second she was on the ground holding her face. "Nice right hook sweetie but try to arc it a little more next time." She said getting back to her feet.
Duncan was in shock, who the hell was this person?
"Who the hell are you?" yelled Logan looking over Rachel to see if she was okay.
"God sweetie I didn't know I was going to have to deal with your body guards again, I don't know what it is about you that makes people want to protect you all the time." She said looking over the group in front of her. "My name is Caroline Briggs I am Rach's cousin" she added with a smile.
"She is not my cousin, she is not related to me she is a leech, she leeches off of members of my family until she gets what she wants, and when everyone else turned against her for doing this she turned to my grandpa." Rachel said anger in her voice.
Caroline acted innocent to these accusations, she was an extreme over actor and no one was buying her performance, seeing as how they all knew actors personally. Duncan knew how much Rachel cared about her grandpa and needed to know what it was that has her so upset so he knows what and who he is dealing with.
"What did she do?" he asked quietly.
"What didn't she do, she weaseled her way into his home and convinced him to put up with her, then she left him without so much as a goodbye. She never went to my parents funeral but when she found out I was now living with him she knew she had to get in or he might change his will." She said with a humorless laugh.
"Hey I loved him too" she said but was stopped by Rachel's scoff.
"Yeah when it meant you getting money, the only words he ever heard out of your mouth were pappy can I bum some, pappy can I borrow, pappy is it alright if i." Rachel said doing an impression. "But when he lay in a hospital bed for three months dying where were you? Where were his sons, and daughters, where were the people that supposedly loved him. Oh wait that's right I was with him, I was the only one who truly loved him" she said tears forming in her eyes but she pushed them away 'she is not getting the satisfaction of seeing me cry' she thought.
"So Carol what is it now, did you find out that I got all of grandpas money and came to bleed me dry, I mean you would have found that out earlier, you know if you had the god damn decency to go to his Fucking funeral." She said turning around.
"Don't you dare turn your back on me you little bitch" she screamed. Rachel turned around and looked at Carol in shock. "What gives you the right to talk about me like that, do you know what I have had to go through, what I have had to face." She said trying to gain some sympathy from the crowd.
"Ohhhhhh I love this game" Rachel said with a fake giddy nature. "Okay why don't you tell me everything you had to go through and I will tell you what I did" she said.
"My parents kicked me out!"
"You still go visit, mine are dead, try again."
"None of our family will return my calls."
"I haven't talked to anyone from our so called 'family' in over 5 fucking years. Try again."
"I have no money" she said.
"Well now we get to the point of this little visit, what Carol the Johns at the whore house not paying that much anymore?" she sneered. She was tackled to the ground and was choking Rachel, 'well this is familiar' she thought trying to pull her off. Weevil and Duncan yanked her up and held her back. Principal Clemmons walked over and looked down at the site.
Rachel got up and walked away from Carol turning to Clemmons, "She is not a student, she snuck on campus and attacked me, I want her arrested" she stated in a monotone voice before turning to walk back into the school. Duncan walked in behind her and followed her into the girls bathroom. She broke down again, she was sobbing while gasping for air. He took her into his arms and stroked her hair and back lightly.
"What did I do Duncan?" she asked between sobs. "Why did I deserve a family who hates me?" she added.
"Shh baby, you don't deserve any of this" he cooed trying to calm her down. "I love you and so do Veronica and Logan, and Wallace and Weevil and everyone else, we are your family. And soon my family will be your family." He said pulling her back to look into his eyes. Her sloumn expression turned to desire when she felt how much she loved him. She pulled him into a kiss pushing against him.
"I want you" she breathed. This woke something inside of him as he pushed her against the wall. Thinking fast he moved toward the door and locked it before moving back to her. 'o thank god she decided to wear a skirt today' he thought moving his hands across her body. Their tongues danced and feuded as his hands fondled with his pants pulling them down. "Hurry" she moaned into his ear. He pulled her panties to the side feeling how wet she was, sending shivers to his body and forcing himself into full salute.
He shoved into her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He pounded her faster and faster moving closer and closer. "O fuck" she cussed. He smiled pushing so hard that he felt himself bump her cervix "Duncan!" she yelped clenching around him and falling from her high. He pumped twice more before he joined her.
"God I love pregnant Rachel" he said with a chuckle.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah she is such a slut, and we can do it anywhere with no need for condoms." He added kissing her neck.
"MMM just wait until I am fat, lets see how turned on you are then" she mumbled.
"Oh baby you have part of me growing inside of you, that is the sexiest thing you could ever do" he said looking at her trying to take away all her insecurities. By the smile on her face he could tell it was working.
They fixed themselves up and walked out into the hall hand-in-hand when they saw deputy Lemmon leading Carol in hand cuffs past them. "you ever come near me again I will put a restraining order on your ass" Rachel said with a smile.
The Deputy leaded her out the doors and into the squad car, she would be held for about three hours until they released her. That was the last time Rachel ever spoke, or heard from her again.
The two weeks were spent with Birthday and Wedding plans, Duncan was torn on what to get her. "common man help me out here" Duncan pleaded looking at Logan.
"Nah man I give you a good idea and then I am out a perfect Christmas present for Veronica." He said looking over the contents of the millionth store they had visited that day.
"What about some perfume?" Duncan asked.
Logan scrunched up his nose, "No to bland" he said looking at some knick knacks.
"I am so screwed" he said putting his hands through his hair.
"What have I been telling you, all night sex fest!" Logan said with a perverted smile.
"Been there done that" Duncan countered.
"Well I don't know, do you even know where we are going?" he asked.
"Not sure but she says that we should be ready for the time of our lives." He said looking at the jewelry.
Three weeks later they boarded a private jet, filled with Alcohol, music, movies, and anything else she could think of. They all partied the whole group, all together. Only Duncan and Rachel didn't drink but no one noticed, not by the way they were acting, they were high on life and love, almost as goofy as being plastered. They arrived and all walked out to a Party bus waiting for them.
They drove down the streets and realized where they were, Vegas. A smile crept on her face as she watched all their expressions.
"Trust me this is not the only surprise." She said sitting back into Duncan.
They pulled up to a club called 'Liquid Rose" and piled out, They walked in and looked at the almost bare club.
"All to ourselves" she said motioning around. "The owner needed to close down early anyways waiting for the last of the paperwork before they can open. So I thought we could try it out and tell her how it goes." She said pointing to the open bar in the corner.
Carmen and Weevil took a time out in a curtained corner room; this was a nice place with a royal belly dancer feel. They had rooms filled with pillows and curtain doors to keep their privacy. A dance floor, and bar and Restaurant. Georgia and Wallace were grinding on the dance floor accompanied by, Mac and Beaver, Meg and Casey, and Paul with his boyfriend nick. Kelly and Blake walked in with another group of couples. Rachel went up to each of them greeting them one by one with huge hugs. They were all familiar, either actors, or sons and daughters of actors. These were the people whom Rachel grew up with her kin. These were Logan and Rachel's past.
They settled down in one of the curtained rooms each passing over their gifts for Rachel to open. Each couple gave a gift. "What I am not special enough to get a gift from each of you" she playfully pouted.
"So what do you get the girl who has everything" Logan asked while she opened his gift.
She smiled huge and closed the bag shut. "What?" asked Duncan curiously.
"Trust me, we will be using it later" she giggled into his ear.
Duncan looked beat red while he threw a pillow at Logan and Veronica while they laughed like a couple of hyenas.
Next she got a locket from Georgia, some fake tattoos and earrings from Mac, and some new tops from Carmen and some new sunglasses from Meg. She thought that it was probably the girls who picked out the gifts so she decided to thank them.
They all laughed and joked about each others gifts before Duncan got up and pulled out his gifts. There were two big boxes. Inside first big box was another box and another and so on and so forth until there was a small velvet box. She opened it and looked at the contents curiously. She pulled out a personalized key with butterflies on it.
"It's for our new apartment" he said with a smile.
Her eyes widened as she popped up and kissed him hard.
She then opened the next one and her breath caught, it was a picture of her mother and her, she was 6 in it and it was the picture she always wanted to remember her mother by. It was made into a painting with beautiful strokes that made them look perfect like frozen in time. They were dressed in matching dresses and her mother was giving her a precious and loving hug.
Tears streamed down her face as she looked at it holding onto Duncan's arm that was around her middle. There was more another small box; this one had two rings in it. One was inscribed with 'mother and child' while the other said 'forever young, forever in love' she was balling now. She hid the other ring while she slipped on the one about love. And last there was a video.
Duncan took it and handed it over to the DJ who popped it in and had it play on the huge sets behind him that covered the wall set up to play cool colors and images while people danced.
It began with a panning view of Logan's house. There she was lying on the couch asleep with Duncan. Logan smiled as she looked over. Lonestar's 'Amazed played in to background while videos of them in the pool and at the beach played across the screens. There was video of the four of them, and of the whole group of them together.
Then the music changed as one of her favorite songs played 'Butterfly kisses' by Garth brooks. There was video and pictures of her and her dad. When she was growing up, up until she was 9. Of her and him on the set, her mimicking him as he yelled at the crew as she giggled.
They could see her crying and smiling, watching all of this and wondering how many of them contributed. There was more of her and Jake as she danced with him at a charity ball. And pictures of her and Keith sitting on the couch talking and laughing while she gave him a birthday present. And last there was video of her and her grandpa. While she was with her friends and he kissed her forehead whispering happy sweet 16 sweetheart. All the men in her life on one video, while a song dedicated to the relationship between dads and daughters played softly. In all the videos he was happy and smiling no matter what had happedned to her before or what was to come she was always happy and hopeful.
Then there were the interviews with a soft back of 'You and Me' playing.
"So what makes Rachel, Rachel?" Logan's voice was heard while the camera focused on Kelly.
"Well she is sexy hot!" she said with a smile " she is also the greatest friend you could ever have" she added a little more sincere.
"She is a pain in the ass" confessed Weevil, "but then she is also able to turn you around and show you how much you would miss her if she were gone."
"Well you need her" said Veronica "she lights up the room, and makes everyone feel special, She reminds me of Lilly and Duncan and Logan and a million other people, God now I sound like Duncan" she said whipping her eyes.
"She makes you happy when all you want to do is cry" said Meg. "she is the perfect fit for Duncan, it was like they were meant to be."
"What is your greatest memory of her?" Logan asked behind the camera.
"I remember when she signed pictures of herself and passed them out" admitted Beaver. "That took balls!"
"I remember the first time I talked to her about who she liked, she and Duncan hadn't told anyone and she was so secretive, but the way her face lit up talking about him. All I could think was God I wish I feel like that for someone." Said Mac.
"I remember the first time I met her, she was unforgettable. She had her headphones on and was dancing down the isle to music only she could hear, but she didn't care. She acted like the world didn't exist and I just wanted into that world. I wanted into her mind and to see what she saw and feel what she felt. She picked up the wrong prescription then mocked me for what I was taking. I realized then that if I didn't get to know this girl I might miss out on one of the greatest things the world had to offer"
Rachel turned around in his arms and kissed him again, this was the greatest thing anyone had ever done for her. She could really feel the love that he and everyone had for her, and he could see how much she loved him too.
"I remember the way Duncan described her 'I guess she is kind of like everyone I know, she is fun and peppy like Lilly, she is a smartass and has a temper like Logan. She sweet, with a twinge of mischief like veronica, and she is talented in sports and social skills like Wallace.' I remember thinking this girl is too good to be true, then I met her, and all I could think was Duncan was right." Veronica added. While the video stopped and the lights turned back on.
She went around the group giving hugs and kisses to each of them, then stopped at Logan. "Thank you, you have no idea what that meant to me" she said giving him an extra long hug.
She then turned to Duncan and kissed him more passionately then she had ever before. She turned to the group and handed out some keys. "These are for the hotel across the street, I have five rooms now you all decide how you want to divide up the four, each has two separate bedrooms." She said.
"What about the fifth room?" asked Duncan.
"Well I was thinking we could get a head start with our honeymoon and try out my new gifts from Logan and Veronica" she said seductively in his ear.
"Buy guys!" he said lifting her up and carrying her out of the club. Everyone laughed as they figured out the nights living arrangements. They decided each couple would take a bedroom, there was more then enough rooms.
"So what did you get them?" Wallace asked the grinning couple. Logan and Veronica just smiled at each other.
