I know it's been a while since I updated, but since I saw that you guys keep on following and favorite this story, I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to update a chapter.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Logan looking at me from his side of the bed.
"Good morning." He whispered gently kissing me on the forehead. There was something weird about him, but I couldn't exactly tell what it was.
"Good morning…" I was feeling like staying in bed all day long. I had had a hard time falling asleep. It's time that baby pops out, because I'm dying to have a decent night of sleep. I'm tired of looking for the right position every single night when I go to bed. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I was just wondering how come I got so lucky."
"I have absolutely no idea…" I joked.
"About my being lucky… I had a weird dream."
"Want to tell me about it?" I asked him turning to have a better look of him.
"It was about you, and the baby…" If it's a dream when everything turns out bad and I die giving birth, I do not want to hear about it. It's already bad enough that I have to give birth soon. "You hadn't told me about the baby and you had left Neptune to come back 3 years later." Well, that's actually something I could have done. That even was kind of the plan, not that I had told anyone about it, because it's not right, but that was kind of how I saw my future. And to be honest, I wasn't sure at the time Logan would even want to have something to do with this little baby girl that was inside of me. "You came back, and well, we kind of lived happily ever after ones you did."
"Of course. Would you have rather want that?"
"What? No way, I'm over joyed being able to life all of this with you." He looked honest and strokes my cheek with his hand. "She had a cute name…" A cute name? Megan Lilly Echolls has a cute name.
"What is it?"
"You named her Lora." Lora? That actually is a cute name. An awesome name! Why didn't we think about that?
"Lora? That's cute indeed." We have thought about so many names, but I can't recall me ever heard that one before. "Why Lora?"
"Well, in my dream you named her so because it had similarities with my name, and that you wanted her to have something in common with her father." What similarities? Oh of course, L O and A from his name.
"Lora Echolls? How come we never thought about that one?"
"I have no idea."
"To bad we already picked out a name for her." Well we did paint it on the wall of her nursery.
"Right!" He said now stroking my gigantic stomach. "Do you think maybe we could still, you know…"
"Pick that one?"
"Well, she isn't really born yet…" I know, but wouldn't it be weird? Changing her name now… After all, we've been calling her like that for a few months now. What if she can understand what we say from the inside and knows her name already? Wouldn't it be weird if we changed it by now?
"Are you sure that's what you want to do?" I asked him after a few seconds of reflection.
"Well, if it's alright with you… I do like Megan Lilly, but Lora, would be her. She wouldn't be wearing the name of two people that aren't here anymore. She would be unique." She's already unique for my eyes.
"So it would be Lora Echolls?"
"Well, we could still keep Lora Lilly Echolls? So she would still have the second name right."
"Lora Lilly Echolls? Lora Lilly Echolls, it kind of sounds better than Megan Lilly Echolls." I said really thinking about it. I kind of liked the fact that she would have her own name. Because, we gave her the name of two persons we loved because first, it sounded good by then, and secondly because we didn't have any other good idea.
"So? Are we keeping it? If you do not like it, we can keep the original one. We do whatever you like."
"I actually like Lora Lilly Echols. Little Lora. Yes, I think we could keep that. But we'll have to tell everyone we changed it. And repaint the nursery. Well actually we could just paint M in yellow and keep the L." We could do that, I'm pretty sure we still have some paint in the apartment.
"We can text them? Telling everyone its Lora now." I could tell he really was happy about that. Maybe it's because it was his idea, or maybe it was just because he like Lora better.
"We can think about that later. Why don't we go get some breakfast first."
I was doing my last job before giving birth, and I just accepted it because it was an easy one. My client, Vanessa Bodisca was going to marry a guy in les then a week, and she wanted to be sure he wasn't cheating on her first. Her story? She fell in love with him while he was married to his first wife and she's afraid he might be doing to her what they did back then. Logan knew about my last job, and he only agreed into me doing it because I wasn't going to move out of the car. All I needed, were some picture of the guy, and I could get them from my car. Oh, and he also agreed into it because Wallace was coming with me. Not that I'd let him tell me what I can do or not, but I wasn't actually in a place where I could take every single job. And this one was easy money.
"Lora? I think I like that one better. It sounds more like the name of a girl I would flirt with, not that I would ever flirt with my niece, and if I ever see a guy flirting with her I'll make him pay, but you know…" Wallace was talking on and on for like ten minutes, while I was keeping my eyes on Roberto, that was drinking a cup of coffee while looking at every girls ass he could. Until now, he only watched. So, he didn't really do something bad.
"It's Logan's idea." I had to at least try to make the conversation go somewhere, so now and then I was answering or saying something.
"That guy leads a pretty boring life if you ask me. I can't see him cheating on anyone."
"Tell that to his first wife…" From what I know, ones a cheater, always a cheater. I've seen it multiple times.
"You're such a pessimist. I thought maybe by now you would have seen things different."
"And why is that?" I asked him looking at my camera and taking a picture of the guy, he was talking to the waitress.
"I don't know. Maybe because you're living with the love of your life and having a baby? Or because you're father seems happy, or because of you awesome, smart, funny and cool new brother…" Well, my brother isn't that new.
"I've always seen you as my brother, well kind of. So that's not much of a change." I told him. Hum, funny. He gave something to the waitress along with the money. I took some picture of that action so I could get a closer look of it.
"I feel touched!" He said pretending to wipe of a tear. What could Roberto have given the waitress? I've been a waitress, and I've never had anything else then money from my clients. Well, Duncan did give me some stuff and I got some jobs while I was a waitress, but still. That's not normal.
"Wallace, dear Wallace…" I started putting down the camera and looking at my best friend.
"No way, you're not going outside of the car. With your luck, you're going to be in labor as soon as you're out of it."
"I was thinking that… "
"Great." He said sarcastically. "What do you need me to do?"
Neptune grand hotel – 6pm – 201. After a few years working as a private investigator, you learn a few tricks. Wallace was inside of the hotel, pretending to be a part of the staff while I was filming from inside the car and giving him instructions. It was easy, he was wearing fake glasses and was filming the whole thing.
"Room service!" He said knocking on the door of room 201 at 6.10 pm. He was getting used to do that kind of stuff and he was doing it exactly how I would have done it. He pushed his chariot inside the room and looked around so I could see the entire room along with him. And there it was, something I didn't expect. It wasn't the waitress that was lying down in his bed, half naked, but her twin brother. He was working with her at the same café and I had found out that he was her brother while searching information about her.
"We haven't ordered anything." Roberto said pushing Wallace's chariot out of the room.
"You sure? You never ordered some strawberry dipped in chocolate?" He said playing his role till the end.
"Get out of here before I'm calling your boss!" I think Roberto was angry because he didn't close the door and that Wallace walked in without waiting for an answer. But, who wouldn't be.
"Excuse me Sir! I thought you told me to come in." Wallace said with just enough panic in his voice. "Mission accomplished. Coming back to the base now." He played his role till the end.
"Just come back to the car now." He came back to the car and I drove him home. After spending one hour with Alicia, my dad and Darrell I drove back home. They all said Lora was a really nice name. But it's not like if they were going to tell me that it was ugly or anything. My dad would find everything pretty, he would love his grand-daughter even if she came out with 3 arms and 15 fingers. Since I saw Duncan on my way home I quickly walked inside the house, hoping pretending not to be home would help. Logan was at Dick's, they were playing video games. Logan was supposed to go over there to see how Mac was doing, but she was playing along with them, I was one hundred percent sure of that.
I was in the living room, with my laptop on my belly. It was not as good as a desk, but I couldn't reach a desk properly anymore. I was printing the pictures of Roberto to put them in one of my files. I was keeping everything on paper and digital files. You never know when you'll have to go back to paper. Taking my phone, I dialed Vanessa's number. She wasn't going to be thrilled with this news, but I wasn't paid to bring back good news, I was paid to bring the truth.
"Vanessa? Wit Veronica, Mars." I said when she picked up the phone.
"Veronica?! Already? So? Should I cancel the marriage?"
"I'm sending you the pictures I took. You were right thinking he was cheating on you… But I'm not sure you were thinking about that…" I said pushing on the send button.
"I knew he was cheating on me. I woman can sense that." Well, I can't tell how many time I thought Logan was cheating on me, but he would never do that. It's just my always thinking the worst out of everyone.
"What the hell?! That bastard is cheating on me with a guy?!" Not sure if it's worse than him cheating on her with a girl. Guy or girl, I don't care, but he was cheating on her.
"He was in the Neptune Grand Hotel. He takes a room their every Wednesday after work hours." And that has been going on for like six months now… Definitely not someone I would want to marry.
"Great. Now I feel like a total loser. I should have known better. I'm going putting the money on your bank account. Thank you for your services." She said before hanging up.
I was going to say I would try to update tomorrow, but I kept on writing and the next chapter is already done too! I'm updating him right after this one! Don't forget to review!
