Epilogue

Veronica sighed as she ran her fingers through her blonde hair, doing her best to calm her nerves. At some point between going to school full-time and working a normal job at the school library per her father's request Veronica had gotten out of the loop of the more involved cases. So the fact that she was sitting in a biker bar twenty minutes from the Mexican border in the same amount of clothing as the apron the bar keep was wearing was a wee bit unsettling even for her. She reminded herself that all this was for the greater good, and that she was safe and Weevil would be here any minute all she had to do was play the part and she was good at that.

Crossing her legs she played with her straw, swirling it around in her drink, some fruity mixture that looked like an alcoholic drink but was actually a virgin of the original. Looking around the room she sought out the eyes of the man of the hour, bail jumper with a soft spot for blondes and a nasty habit of getting a little rough when turned down. She just had to lure him in and Weevil would do the catching, her phone vibrated letting her know that Weevil was in position he was in the bar and well blended which was easy enough for him since he easily looked the part of all the other bikers in the place. Veronica did a sweep of everyone in the bar before she relaxed her eyes falling on a familiar set of shoulders clad in black leather.

She looked him over from the top of his bald head to his boots, she didn't need to see the hint of tattoos peeking out from the edge of his collar to know it was him, after living with him for the last two years and being with him for nearly four she could pick him out of any crowd. Relaxing Veronica turned her attention back to the task at hand; seeking out the target their gazes locked as Veronica turned on her stool turning slightly so he could see her bare legs, or almost bare the knee-high boots where the only thing covering them. She smiled seductively at him as he swept his gaze over her before starting towards her.

Excitement gnawed at her as he approached leaning in close. "What's a pretty little thing like you doing here all by yourself?" He asked her, Veronica did her classic head tilt bringing her drink to her mouth and sipping on it before speaking. "You think I'm pretty?" She asked trying to make herself sound like she was in awe. "How pretty?" She leaned a little closer to him as he leaned against the bar; he looked her over again and reached out to touch her and she had to stop herself from cringing. Leaning into his touch she smiled at him. "Prettiest girl in this place."

"You're too kind." Veronica said before bringing on the fake tears. "My boyfriend doesn't think I'm pretty anymore. I think he's found himself someone else." He shook his head and trailed his hand over her leg. "Sounds like you need yourself a new boyfriend." "Oh I can't do that, can I?" She shook her asked as she wiped her face. "Course you can baby, I'll even help you forget him." His hand inched further up her thigh to the short hemline of her skirt and Veronica couldn't stop herself from moving slightly. "You will?" Veronica asked with a well place sniffle, before offering him a tiny smirk.

Weevil moved so he was behind him, his face neutral and his body tense ready for a fight. "Sure will." She tilted her head to the side and tapped her lip. "I don't know, he's pretty hard to forget. I think you'll agree with me Gavin." Veronica said his name just as Weevil tapped him on the shoulder, the surprise from both momentarily halting the man. "How did you, who?" He turned coming face to face with Weevil.

"You've been a bad boy Gavin Goulde. Skipping out on a date with the court, I'll never understand the point of that. All you're doing is getting yourself into more trouble."

He looked between her and Weevil before understanding dawned on him. "I'm not going back man." Weevil shrugged. "That's what you think. Suppose we wont be doing this the easy way then?"

Panicked Gavin swung his fist, hitting Weevil in the face which cause a fight. Normally Veronica would have let Weevil do his own thing, he'd come home beaten up more than once while out doing one of these for her dad; tonight however she wasn't in the mood to play nurse maid. They moved closer to her and Veronica pulled her trustee taser out of her purse and pressed it into the others back; she watched him fall with a satisfied smirk before turning her attention to Weevil who had blood pooling on his lip and from the looks of it would have a black eye later. "I had it under control." He said as he grabbed the guy by the back of his shirt as he pulled him up.

"Of course." Moving she got off the stool, pulling down the fabric of her dress before she lead the way out of the bar, taser still in her hand if anyone tried to stop them. No one did; once they were outside she walked to her car and opened the door. Weevil put the zip ties on the guy and put him into the back closing the door before he addressed her again.

Moving in close he touched her cheek and then took a step back just looking at her. "We make a good team mama." She smiled, it had taken a year for him to start calling her that after they lost their baby; when he had started doing it again she realized how much she missed it. "Yeah we do, did you ever doubt it?" She asked giving him a mischievous look. "Not even for a second. Let's get this job done, I'm starving." Veronica snorted and turned to open the door. "I don't mean for food either, where have you been hiding that outfit?" At Weevil's question she grinned at him. "I save it for the special jobs."

He gave her a look before shaking his head before getting into the back seat so he could keep an eye on their passenger. The drive to the station was quick, and Veronica waited in the car when Weevil went and turned in their bail jumper. When Weevil came out he looked smug, like he always did after one of these, only this time she wasn't going to hear about it second-hand since she had gotten to help. "Shall we go?" She asked walking towards him, stopping in front of him she reached up and gently touched his lip and then turned his head in the minimal light to look at his eye. "That's going to be bruised in the morning."

Weevil shrugged. "I've had worse." Veronica nodded at his statement before leaning up and pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth, avoiding the cut on his lip. "Let's go home." Stepping away Veronica started around the car but when he grabbed her hand. "Wait a second." Stopping she gave him a curious look. "I want to talk to you for a second." Weevil pulled her closer to him before rubbing the back of his neck, something he did when nervous or over thinking something. "What's wrong?" He shook his head, taking her hand in his. "Nothing, I've just been thinking we make a good team."

Veronica raised a brow at him and nodded her head. "You said that a little while ago." Weevil nodded his head again. "I know." She studied him as he seemed to struggle with what he was trying to say. "What I mean is, we make a good team and we've been living together for what? Two years now." Opening her mouth she stared to say something but he stopped her. "No let me get this out, I've been waiting for the right time, was going to try to make it all romantic…but this." He waved a hand around over them and the police station in the background. "This is our life." Confused Veronica tilted her head, her heart was pounding as she watched him, as she listened to what he was saying.

"I can't imagine where I would be without you V, we've been through a lot. And I'd like to go through a lot more with you." He frowned and shook his muttering something under his breath. "What I'm trying to say or rather ask, is if you'll marry me." Veronica smiled at him before chuckling, leave it to Eli to propose in the parking lot of a police station; it fit them. "Yes, yes I'll marry you." She said in reply her lips pursed in a cheeky smile as she watched him. A nervous laugh escaped him as he pulled her close to him.

"Mrs. Veronica Navarro has a nice ring to it don't you think?" Weevil said as he pulled away just enough to look at her. "Who said anything about me being a Navarro?" Veronica said teasingly. "Why wouldn't you be?" "I'm teasing Eli, but you get to tell my dad." Laughter bubble forth as she stepped away from him. "Your dad already knows, I've been planning to ask you for months…" She gaped at him as he dug around his jacket pocket, pulling out a small box; his hands shook slightly as he opened it and pulled out the ring. "It was my abuela's she'd want you to have it."

Veronica let him slide the ring on her finger, tears in her eyes. "It's beautiful." Weevil kept her hand in his as he brushed another kiss to her lips. "I love you."

Veronica smiled brightly at him. "I love you too."

"Hope you don't mind a long engagement, dad always said I had to finish with school before I thought of walking down an aisle."

A groan left him but he grinned at her. "I've waited this long, what's another two years?"

He was right, they'd already made it this far, what was another two years when you were already with the one you love?

A/N: And this it for this story, I might do a one shot of their wedding just because I think it would be cute and I already have a couple of ideas for it. I hope everyone enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'll have something new up soon. Much love.
