CHAPTER 19: Jump to the Future

Disclaimer: I don't own VM if I did then Logan and Veronica wouldn't have broken up at all along with Lilly and Cassidy would still be alive.

*Thoughts are in italics*

-Veronica's Point of View-
I can't believe that it's already been six years since I sat on this very beach and told Logan that I was pregnant. We got married five months later in a small ceremony that took place on the beach. Dick was the best man and Lilly was my maid of honor. The only people at the wedding were a family. My dad and Celeste didn't even show. But Keith did, when Jake told me he wouldn't be coming home Logan tracked down Keith so I would have someone to give me away at the ceremony. 3 months later we welcomed our perfect twins into this world. Sara Leanne and Samuel Aaron. Yeah I know I should be ashamed to have a son named after that basted. But never the less he is their grandfather. Or I should say was.

FLASHBACK

"You are so dead Echolls." I yell at my husband of a short 3 months. I had been in labor for about 12 hours already and if I didn't have these babies soon there was a good possibility that Logan wasn't going to see them.
"You are doing fine baby. I promise you are doing fine." He keeps whispering in my hair as another contraction hits me.
"Just so you know you are never touching me again." I tell him. He knows that it's a lie; he knows that I am just upset in the moment.
"Okay Mrs. Echolls give use one big push." I hear the damn doctor say. I think I am going to change my plans and kill him instead. Or maybe the nurse that keeps telling me that it will be over soon. Stupid people, I am once again blinded by the pain and I once again push. The next thing I hear is a cry and I know that at least I am half done with this.
"And we have a little boy." I hear the doctor say as Logan leans down and kisses my forehead. "Did you hear we have a son?" I didn't get a chance to respond because once again I am pushing.
"Okay you're almost their Veronica." The nurse says. Really lady you really want to die don't you. "Just one more push dear." Once again I hear a small cry and I look to Logan he leans down and tells me "She's going to be locked away until she's thirty" he has the biggest grin on his face and I realize that I can't stay mad at him.
"We have a son and a daughter?" I ask him he just nods and leans down and kisses me.

END OF FLASHBACK

Everything went fine for the next couple of years. Logan and I quickly adjusted to being parents and we sat back as we watched the rest of your friends settle down. Sadly about two years after I married Logan and the twins were born tragedy struck us.

FLASHBACK

"Lilly don't worry about him, he will be fine." I tell my older sister as she stands over the crib that currently holds her 3 month old baby. She and Weevil hadn't been out on a date sine Tony was born, so when Logan and I finally convinced them to go out for their anniversary they were happy we said we would watch him for the night.
"I don't know V? You already have the twins to take care of." She tells me.
"Yeah but I have Logan and we will be fine. I promise, go have fun." I tell her as I push her out of the room and toward the front door. "Don't worry Sis."
"I love you V. Tell Logan he is the best Brother-in-Law a girl can ask for." With that she was headed down the side walk.
We were woken up at midnight with a knock on the door.
"I will go see who it is. You go check on the kids." Logan tells me as he slips on his shoes and grabs a baseball bat. He walks down the stairs and I slowly follow him as he opens the front door to see Sheriff Lamb standing there.
"Sorry to bug you this evening Mr. Echolls, is your wife a wake?" I hear Don ask. Over the last few years he'd really grown up and was actually a decent man.
"What can we do for you tonight Sheriff?" I ask him as I come up to Logan side.
"I can I come in. You might want to be sitting down." he says as he leads us into the living room.
"What's going on Don?" Logan asked him as we sat down. I knew this look. I had seen it many of times.
"I am sorry to inform you that Mr. and Mrs. Navarro were killed tonight in a drunk driving accident." Don said in a near whisper.
"No…."I said as I started to cry. Not Lilly, Not Weevil. "No. you are lying."
"I am sorry Veronica. It was a high school kid." He says as he starts to stand. "Do you want me to head over to your brothers or do you want to tell him?"
"I will tell him." I say as everything started to fade around me.

END FLASHBACK

Four days later was the funeral, and once again like so many things in my life Jake and Celeste weren't there. They never have meet Tony and probably never will. We were taken to court 2 weeks later by the state, for some reason they didn't want Logan and I to have custody of Tony. It didn't really make sense. Duncan and Meg couldn't take them. By that point they were also dealing with a set of twins Hope and Grace. They had gotten married shortly after we did and now I was the aunt of 3 gorgeous girls and one hellion of a boy. Even though Tony lives with us, he and along with Grace and Hope were always dragging Craig into trouble then when we get all of the kids together we are in trouble.

FLASHBACK

"So we kind of have news." I hear my sister in law say as we all sit down to one of our weekly dinners. By this point we had actually had to create a kids table now by this time there are eight kids between all of us, Two 4 year olds, one 5 year old, four 2 years old, and one 1 year old.
"Oh I love news." I say as I put Tony into one of the high chairs that was lined against the wall.
"Well we are pregnant." Duncan says as he holds Meg's hand. Before we have a chance to really respond Mac and Lexi are laughing. We all give them crazy looks.
"I am also pregnant." Mac says as she looks at Dick. Who had just finished putting Richie into his high chair?
"What!" obviously she hadn't told him yet.
"Well while we are sharing Cassidy and I have news also." I hear Lexi say. "We are getting married."
"And Lexi is also 3 months pregnant." Cassidy says as we all start to laugh. When the two year olds were all born we knew that they were going to be hell risers. But now we had to once again worry about two Casablancas at the same time.

END FLASHBACK

Okay so I guess no one was ever really going to believe that after everything that happened to Cassidy that he would ever be normal but he was. He was successfully running his own real estate company with is smart business partner and his sister in law Mac. By now though we all had realized that we were living a dream. Logan and I had been married for 6 years and couldn't be prouder of our kids, All 3 of them. Cassie and Wallace got married right after she graduated from High School and welcomed a daughter named Alanya 3 years ago and a son named Nate 1 year ago. Mac and Dick have been married for two years and have a 2 year old named Ryan and a 4 year old named Richard, whom they call Richie. Ross is now two and was happy to be a part of his mommy and daddy's wedding last year when Cassidy and Lexi got married and he was even happier when they welcomed a little girl to the family 2 months ago they named her Rachel McKenzie. Cassidy said that way she could be as great as her Aunt Mackie. We had all decided that we couldn't be apart so as we each got married we bought homes in the same neighborhood. And of course it they had to be in the 90909 zip code, but the real story would be the trouble that these kids were going to be causing once they got to High School because there was no question. Neptune High would never be ready for the new set of 09ers headed their way, and if they were anything like their parents, it wasn't going to be another day in paradise for those who crossed their paths.

AN Okay so I have a small idea for a 20th chapter but honestly if no one wants it I am not going to write it. It would be a preview of what the squeal might be like. But I have really kind of lost interest with this so if you would like to see a chapter 20 and maybe even the sequel let me know. It would be about the new 09ers. With small mentions of the original 09ers.
