Summer smiled as she watched Seth play with Kally, it was possibly the cutest thing she had ever seen. A scream pulled her gaze back to the water and she saw Veronica standing in the water shaking her head. Logan grabbed her hand and placing his hands on her hips lifted her as though she weighed nothing, putting her on the board.
Summer watched as time after time Veronica fell off the board and into Logan's waiting arms.
An hour later Logan carried Veronica up the beach. She looked tiny in his arms. Her chin was resting on his shoulder and she was sitting on his hip, her legs resting against his body. One of Logan's muscular arms held her tight. He dumped the surf board on the ground and Summer looked up. "What happened?" she asked with a chuckle. Logan smirked and said, "She fell off the board and sprained her ankle." Summer gave her a sympathetic look and patted the towel next to her. Logan put her down next to Summer and squatted down to look at her ankle. Summer put an arm around her shoulder and supported her. She and Veronica had instantly become best friends. She stealthily checked out Logan's rippling six pack.
"I'll take you up to shower off and then we can go home," Logan said and lifted Veronica into his arms. He carried her up to the shower and rinsed them both off. Seth and Ryan trudged after them and left Summer with Kally. Summer pulled her dress and thongs back on and straightened Kally's cute pink sun hat. She put everything back into the bags and lifted Kally onto her hip. The sunglasses on Summer's face gave her a cool confident look as she surveyed the beach. Logan led the procession back to Summer and dried him and Veronica off. Seth and Ryan pulled their shirts and shades back on and began to gather up their gear. Veronica pulled her dress back on while Logan steadied her and then he scooped her back up. Summer led them back to their cars with Kally on her hip. She adored the little girl and was chatting away to her happily. Seth remarked quietly to Ryan that they were all wearing big black shades and that made them oh so cool.
Seth led them back to the Kane and Echolls mansion which Logan loudly dubbed Casa de Kacholls. They unloaded the cars and walked into Casa de Kacholls. All except Veronica who had to be carried. Logan put Veronica on the lounge and put some ice on her ankle. Once the swelling started to recede Logan said to her, "I'm going to go have a shower, I'll take Kally with me and get her cleaned up." Veronica nodded and Summer handed him Kally. He walked out of the lounge room chatting to Kally making her giggle.
Seth, Ryan, Summer and Veronica chatted away and started to fill Veronica in on life at Harbour. Veronica yawned and Summer ran a hand through her long black hair casually. She looked at her nails and pulled a face, "God I need a manicure, how bout we go and have a spa day tomorrow?" she asked Veronica who nodded with a grin. Summer grinned and said, "We can leave the boys and Kally at home, hopefully they'll all survive." Veronica just laughed.
Logan came down the stairs with Kally, she was dressed in a fresh pink romper. Summer laughed and asked, "Does your daughter own anything that's not pink?" Veronica frowned and said with a grimace, "No Logan insisted his baby girl be a girly girl." Summer laughed and Veronica grinned. "Then after we go to the spa we'll just hit the shops and shop for her as well as us," Veronica smiled and said, "Sounds like a plan." Logan's head shot up and he Ryan and Seth said at exactly the same time, "Shopping? I'm out," making the girls laugh. Veronica smiled and said, "Sum and I are going to have a spa day and then hit the shops, you boys are staying at home and taking care of Kally." Logan grinned and asked, "Beer, steak and strippers good with you boys?" Seth and Ryan nodded and Veronica hit Logan hard.
About an hour later Logan looked around and asked, "What do you guys want for dinner? I feel like ordering out," Veronica's hand shot up and she said hurriedly, "I'm ordering," Seth let out a cry and said, "What? Come on, I always order, it's because I'm good on the phone and Ryan holds the take out menus because he's good with his hands," at this everyone burst into laughter. Seth just shook his head and Summer gave him a kiss.
It was well after midnight when Summer, Seth and Ryan left Casa de Kacholls. They were walking Summer home and then driving back to their place.
Veronica sat up straight and stretched. Logan stood and lifted Veronica up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and placed Kally between them. They both tucked Kally in. Her room was the nursery. It was pale yellow and was centred around the majestic rose wood cot.
