Happily Ever After?

I'd be lying if I said the last six weeks have been without their bumpy spots. I mean, Logan staying with us without all the wedding chaos and moving to the new place would have been weird enough for him, but that definitely added to everything. Mostly because I was a total basket case. I'm not even sure if he has any idea how many times my dad

Ever get that feeling that while you're welcomed with loving open arms, you don't quite fit in? That's been me every single day since we got back to Neptune. After paying a hefty fine (courtesy of sheriff Don Lamb) of getting my X-Terra out of impound and then realizing that it was actually painful to drive it or sleep in it or any number of things, I finally settled in the fact that Veronica, Keith, Trina and any number of people who thought they could control my life a little had to have a little power while I was healing. And despite living with Veronica and Keith along with Alicia, Wallace and his little brother or really their little brother, Darrel, I'm just the boyfriend who's girlfriend drove him cross country in an attempt to curb some death sentence

"Except that they've probably gone to play basketball, and I was making sure my dog lets us all sleep tonight by being tired and sleeping himself." I comment when he informs me that Wallace and Darrell have just left. "I'm so never going to understand Wallace's love for that game. Or why it seems generally infectious to everyone who isn't me

"You mean, is it weird that my best friend since I was like six already has a kid?" I asked her. She was doing that thing like she was prepared to handle me with kid gloves, like I'd break at the sense of someone else who isn't me having some family - which I knew was exactly what she was thinking. "Yeah, it's weird," I said to her.

A lot of things are weird about that. Especially this idea I used to have of it being her and Duncan in that photograph with the white picket fenced in kids. Obviously, glad it's not, but honestly I have the greatest urge to start blaming Celeste and Jake along with Meg's parents for trying to raise perfect children. It was disgusting.

"Are you weirded out about it?" I asked looking to her, pausing the controller and putting it down. It wasn't as if we had seen Duncan in months and the last time I had checked this was one of those huge things that had ended the ongoing saga of Duncan and Veronica.

I wasn't jealous. I wasn't at all. I had no fucking need to be

When Logan asked if I was weirded out by it, I almost got the impression that what he really wanted to ask, even just a little bit, was if it bothered me that Duncan had a kid with someone who wasn't me
