After one week of observation, the fine doctors of Neptune Hospital allowed me to go home. Veronica came to pick me up and bring me home. But on the way home, I felt my jacket pocket buzzing. The screen flashed MOM.
"Hello? Mom? What's wrong?"
I heard choked sobs from the other end. "Logan? Sweetie?" her voice cried, "Your father... he's hurt!" she finally burst out. "I can't explain. Turn on KHJL 896. They have the details." Then I heard a click and a dial tone. My fingers fumbled on Veronica's radio. Veronica pulled the car to the breakdown lane on the PCH and looked at me worriedly. "Everything OK?" her voice was full of concern.
"Shhh…" I whispered putting my right index finger to my lips as voices came from the radio,
"In other news, have you heard about Aaron Echolls? It so happens on a way back from shooting his new movie Hair Trigger 2: Dead Ends, he was attacked with a knife by an angry fan. It turns out, he was cheating on Lynn with this woman and countless others! He's in critical condition at LA General. But seriously folks, how could anyone cheat on Lynn Echolls, I mean…"
Veronica's POVLogan turned off the radio so sharply, I jumped. "That bastard." I heard him mutter under his breath. I rubbed small circles on his back as he sat there staring out the car window.
"Are you OK?" I asked. The last few weeks had not been the best. After finding out you're gonna be a teen daddy and then almost being strangled to death by your best friend, who puts you into the hospital, does not a good few weeks make. And thenadding his father being gins hued in his own car? No fun at all.
Logan's response was a barely comprehendible, "Let's go."
And with that, I started the Le Baron and we rode to Logan's house.
When we arrived, the front entrance was flocked with reporters. As difficult as it was to reach the gates, it took Logan a mere 10 seconds to open them with the remote Lynn had dropped off earlier at the hospital. As soon as I sped through the Echolls gates, Logan closed them somberly, in a mere effort to keep scum reporters out.
As soon as I put my car into park, Lynn ran out and hugged Logan, tear-streamed mascara running down her face.
I stood idly by, watching a embrace between parent and child, one thing I would never get to do againwith my own parents. I made it a vow to me, Logan and our baby to never let the embraces end between us too soon.
A/N Its too mushy? Is it? Please tell me if it's too mushy.
Anyways, hee hee hee Aaron got stabbed. I know I took it from 'An Echolls Family Christmas' but then again I made it my own. I hope you like it. Review, even if you hated it.
And about the contest: I changed the end date. The contest is officially over. I have the full name of the LoVe child. Thank you everyone who participated and congratulations to my winners (you know who you are).
