Thursday, one day before the last day of the week. My dad is going to be back home Tuesday, so I won't be home alone anymore. Not that it matters, I like to be home alone sometimes. I was walking out of my last class of the day, heading towards the park, where Mac and Logan were waiting for me. Mac was helping me out on a case of cyber bullying, and Logan had insisted to go with me at the doctor appointment. He really does everything to show he is in this with me. When I arrived at the park, Mac was sitting on the grass with her laptop on her knees, talking to Logan.
"There she is… We've been waiting for you." Mac said, knowing I couldn't be there sooner, since I was in class.
"I know right, what was I thinking, going to my classes and all? How stupid!" I joke and take a seat between them. "Do you have what I ask for?" I ask her right away.
"What? Not even a word for me?" Logan said, not wanting to be ignored.
"Weevil says hi…" I tell him, which was true, I had seen him this morning… But his exact word wasn't really hi.
"I didn't say anything. Just talk the two of you…"
"So, I burned everything I could found on this CD. If you find that guy make him pay because he's really being a jerk… He constantly changes his name, and he's smart enough to change computers so the IP address wouldn't really help you. But he always uses one of the school computers." That really helps. And I'll make him pay. That guy has been bullying Deborah for a month now. Every time she opens her computer, she has got another email, or message on her Facebook page or any other page she uses. Calling her a bitch slutt, talking about what she's done that day, how hot she was looking in that little dress… A real freak.
"Thank you Mac, I really appreciate your help…"
"But you know it's not for free…" She helps me so many times, that I started to give her a piece of the money I get for the job.
"I know, you'll get your share as soon as I get paid." I tell her.
"I do not want to interrupt you girls, but if we do not want to be late, we should go Veronica…"
"yes, you two should go… Besides, I have someone I have to meet…" Mac said closing of her laptop.
"Let's go then. By Mac!" I said, Logan got up before me and helped me back on my two feet.
"Let me know as soon as you know!" She said as she was walking away.
"So, do we go with separate cars or what?" Logan asks as he takes my bag off my shoulders.
"I can hold my own bag you know, I'm pregnant not handicapped." I say to let him know I'm still the old me.
"So? Can I hold my girlfri… my friend's bag?" I'm just going to pretend I haven't heard that.
"Separate cars, I have to go back home afterwards and I don't feel like coming back to the campus first." I tell him.
"Okay, so I'll just be following you then."
"Miss Mars?" The nurse said when she came back into the waiting room.
"Yes!" Logan said as he got up. A punch of moms started to laugh as I got up.
"Someone is excited …" The nurse said with a smile. He putted his on my back and we both walked into the examination room. Logan waited in it while I got changed and when I came back into the room.
"So, today is the big day? I would have told you sooner, if you had come to your first appointment, but you came, that's the most important thing right." The doctor said. Well, if she had lowered her prices, I would have come sooner.
"I've been really busy." I defend myself. Logan was standing next to me, silently.
"Are you the father?" No, he's just here because he likes to go to the doctor with pregnant girls.
"The father? Yes, yes that should be me." He said, all stressed up.
"I see. Let's take a look at that baby now…" She said. "It's going to be a bit cold." After a few seconds, we could hear a loud woof woof woof. Logan's hand found mine within the seconds. "That's your baby's heartbeat." Heartbeat? I felt so warm inside and overwhelmed.
"His heartbeat?" Logan said, with sparks in his eyes.
"Actually, it would be hers…" Hers?! It's a girl? I'm having a little girl? We're having a girl? !
"A girl?" Logan asks in the same state as I was.
"Yes, it's a girl. See, this is a hand, …" I couldn't believe that what I was seeing on the screen, was actually growing in my stomach. "And this is your baby's head."
"I can't believe it!" I whispered.
"I'm going to leave you two for a moment. But everything seems fine to me." The doctor said and walked out of the room.
"It's a girl!" Logan repeated. "It's a mini you!"
"Not a mini-me. It's a mini us." I tell him looking at that screen.
"Thank you!" He then said. I wasn't expecting him to say that, at all.
"For what?" What could he possibly thanking me for?
"For letting me be a part of this…"
"Thank you, for wanting to be a part of it." I'm not sure how well I would have done it if I would have been alone.
After sending a message to all the people that needed to know. Logan followed me back home, to make sure I got home safe, before leaving to his apartment.
"Hey Backup!" I said when I got into the apartment. Backup was sitting next to the door, looking right at me. "Good dog…" I sad putting me bag on a chair before opening the fridge to get myself something to eat. There was some lasagna left and I heated it up. Since my dad wasn't home, I was going to eat in my bedroom, so I could eat and work at the same time. I went to my bedroom and turned on my computer. I took Mac's Cd out of my bag and printed everything I could. Tomorrow promised to be a big day for Lucie. Her bully was about to find out was he had been doing all this time… Once it was all on paper, I started to look at everything with all my attention. He called himself, T.R Raz… a punch of times… So I did some research on the internet. Turns out, I was right, it was one of Lucie's friend all along That bastard! I took my phone and dialed her number.
"Lucie? With Veronica… I think I know who' s bullying you, are you ready to start with the second part of the plan?" It certainly was the best part of it anyway.
"Really? Thank you Veronica! Yes, I'm so ready to kick that jerk's butt! See you tomorrow?" Oh, that's for sure.
"Of course! See you than, you know where." I said before hanging up. I putted all those papers in my bag. Tomorrow would be a big day. I went back to the kitchen to put my plate away and watch some TV with Backup. "So, what's on TV tonight?" I said taking a seat on the couch, Backup right next to me. The baby started to kick and I putted my hand on my stomach. Why does he always start to kick when I feel like having some rest? I choose myself a movie and started to watch it. When the end of the movie was near, I heard some noise outside my apartment. Probably just one of my neighbors coming back home. I stood up to get myself a glass of water, when suddenly, my window broke and a huge stone fell in my living room. I took the first thing I could find that I could use as a weapon, a knife. Backup had joined me and was barking out loud…"It's okay Backup…" I said trying to calm as well him done as myself. The knife in my hand I slowly walked to the front door, but nobody was outside. I closed the door, not that it would make any difference since that I hadn't a window anymore… The stone was still in my living room. I took it in my hand, it was kind of heavy, you can break any window with this one! I turned it in my hands, and found a note on it, written with a black marker.
"If the bitch doesn't stop digging, the bitch will be paying…" Suddenly, I felt like a thousand eyes were looking at me. I took Backup by his necklace and took him into my bedroom, which I closed. Who knows, he could come back… My cellphone was still on my desk. I quickly took it and dialed Wallace's number.
"I'm sorry but I can't answer, I'm unavailable for the moment, try later!" Great! No Logan. I can't call dad, he isn't in Neptune… Not knowing who else I could call, I called Logan…
"Veronica? Missed me already?" He joked when he answered. I wish it was just that.
"I wish it was that simple… Someone threw a stone at my window…" And threatened me at the same time…
"Don't move, I'll be right there!" He said and hung up immediately. Not knowing what else I could do, I took my Taser and backup and went back to the living room. The least I could do was to clean up a bit. Logan came at the apartment just ten minutes later… He probably burned some red lights…
"Are you okay?" He said through the window…
"I'm fine, but my window isn't!" My dad is going to be happy, I did say I was attracting trouble...
"You sure? The baby too?" Everyone is fine… Maybe I shouldn't have called him, if had known he would freak out like this…
"Yes, everyone is fine." The baby stopped moving, I guess he fell back asleep.
"Take a bag, some spare clothes and everything you could need, your sleeping at my place till your dad comes back home!" Really? I don't know what I was expecting when I called him, but certainly not that.
"I can't just go! What about Backup? And anyone can get inside now…" I said when I opened the door so he could get inside.
"I'll take care of the window, Backup can come with us, you go make your bag." He said, and by the tone of his voice, it was clear that there wasn't any place to argue. So I went back to my bedroom, took some clothes, my laptop and schoolbooks. When I came back in the living room, Logan had nailed some wood at the now broken window, so nobody could get inside anymore.
"Well, you work fast…" I say when I see it. He probably had taken it with him.
"Only when I need too." He replies with a smile. "Do you have everything you need?"
"Yes, everything I need." I say adding some food for Backup in my bag. I can tell you, he was getting really heavy.
"Don't forget to leave a note for your dad…" Excellent idea. I took a piece of paper and pen. Dad, sleeping with a friend, call me when you're back. I wrote down on. I putted it on the fridge, my dad surely will find it there.
"I could stay here you know…" I say one more time. I do not want him to feel like he has to do this.
"Yeah sure, because I'm the kind of guy to leave his girlfrie… the mother of his baby behind when someone is threatening her!" He said, and took my bag.
"Okay, whatever you say. Let's go Backup!" I say taking my dog with me. Once out of the apartment, I closed the door and we walked towards his car. My bag in the back of his Car, Backup on the backseat.
"Let's go home." He said, like if he meant our home.
"I can take my own bag you know…" I said as the independent woman I am.
"You are carrying enough…" He said. Since my hands were empty, I figure he was talking about what was growing inside of me. He opened the door of his apartment. I only had been in it one time, for Parker's birthday party. Felt weird to come back, especially since it was empty.
"Yeah right, what are you going to say in 5 months…" It's only starting to show know…
"Exactly the same." He putted my bag down in the hall way. "So, want a visit?" He asks me. Sure why not? I nod while Backup already is walking around the house. "The kitchen, feel free to take whatever you want in it…" He said when we passed it. It was quiet a big kitchen for an apartment, but what did I expect? "the living room, but I think you've already seen it…" Sure, full of dancing people… "The dining room is attending to it." He said, pointing at the other side of it. "My bedroom, and two other bedrooms or at the end of the hall. And the bathroom is just there." He said just pointing them out. What a visit…
"It's nice. Better than a hotel room…" I tell him. "Go back to sleep…" I whisper when the baby start to move again.
"Back to sleep? When was I asleep exactly?" Logan asks as he plofs down on his couch.
"Not you, her…" She always starts to move when I'm about to rest…
"She's moving?" He said his eyes wide open. "May I?" He asks. Backup joined us in the room and found his place in a corner.
"Sure, why not…" I say taking a seat next to him. He carefully putted his one hand on my little belly, waiting for our little girl to move again.
"Felt that?" I say when she finally does…
"Did she do that?" yes, she did… I nod and put my hand right next to his. "Amazing…" He adds with sparks in his eyes, before putting his one hand on mine and crossing his fingers.
Any idea of the person threatening Veronica? If you do, it will probably be wrong, since I still have to pick a person XD, or find out one.
I've added some more Logan-Veronica moments in this chapter, because most of you guys asked for it. So I hope you'll like this chapter, and don't forget to review!
