45 Days, 6 hours, and 21 minutes since she had last seen him awake. 30 Days, 1 hour, and 5 minutes since she had found out she was carrying his child. She hadn't told anyone else she was pregnant. She was hoping he would wake up so she could tell him first.

But from what the doctors were saying he may never wake up. She knew it was her fault he was in a coma and may never possibly meet his child. All because she was stubborn and stupid and tried to go alone…

"Logan I'll be back in a half hour I'm just going to the library!" Veronica yelled as she ran out the door of the apartment she shared with her boyfriend. He hadn't answered so she figured he was sleeping and probably wouldn't even realize she was gone.

She jumped into her trusty Lebaron and headed onto the highway towards the beach. She was meeting a guy who said he had witnessed Parker's murder. Parker had been brutally murdered and left on the very beach Veronica was driving towards.

Parker had died almost a year ago which was about three months after her and Logan broke up and Veronica and Logan decided to give their relationship another try. Logan had been sad but not devastated while Veronica once again felt like she had lost someone else close to her.

There were supposedly no witnesses to the murder and no clues or suspects. Then out of the blue this guy calls her and says he saw something the night of the murder that she may want to hear about. She offered to meet him and he demanded they meet at the scene of the crime.

Of course her spy sense should've started to tingle when he came out of the woodwork a year too late but it didn't and now she was driving towards the beach where he was waiting for her.

When she arrived she went to walk towards the man on the beach when she was yanked behind her car and her mouth covered. She went to taser her attacker when she realized that the arms holding her were her boyfriends.

"Logan what are you doing here?"

"Keeping you safe. You're gonna get yourself killed if you continue on like this. I am going with you to meet this guy. No arguments." Logan pulled her up and slipped his hand into hers as he tugged her towards the man on the beach.

When they got close the man turned around and Veronica was surprised to see Piz's surprised face looking back at her. She would never have guessed that the witness would be someone who knew Parker.

Piz's surprise had turned into anger and he was staring at Logan angrily. The two boys had never been buddy-buddy but when Veronica had left Piz to go back to Logan what little civility the two had was demolished.

"I thought you were coming alone. Not bringing him!" Piz demanded angrily. Veronica knew that if she didn't intervene soon a fight would break out and someone would end up hurt.

"I am her boyfriend and when she goes somewhere were it may be unsafe or there is a psycho stalker there I prefer to come along!" Logan yelled back angrily as he clenched his fists as if getting ready to punch Piz.

But he never had a chance to throw a punch because before Veronica or Logan knew what was happening Piz had pulled out a gun and aimed it at Logan.

"I called Veronica here today to give her one last chance to choose me over you. And if she didn't choose me I was going to kill her. Because if I can't have her there is no way in hell you will have her. Then I was going to kill myself. Like Romeo and Juliet except Juliet doesn't know how much she loves me. But since you came along I will just have to get rid of the one thing in the way of our relationship. You Logan." With his final statement Piz pointed the gun at Logan and fired.

Logan collapsed to the ground and the sand turned red as the blood poured out of the wound in his stomach. Veronica collapsed to the ground next to Logan and pulled his head into her lap. He was still breathing and his eyes were still open which were both great signs. At that point Veronica could care less if she died. She would be with Logan, Lilly, Parker, and Meg in the afterlife anyway.

Piz seemed to sense that she didn't care if she died so instead he decided to end his own life so he would not suffer in jail for shooting Logan. So he raised the gun to his temple and with a simple bullet through the brain he was gone.

Veronica dialed 911 with shaky hands as she cradled her dying boyfriend's head in her lap reminding him that she loved him and needed him and could never live without him. The paramedics arrived quickly and took Logan to the hospital where he was sent immediately to surgery.

Veronica waited nervously in the waiting room and barely talked to Mac and Wallace who sat next to her trying to comfort her and give her strength. Finally Logan's surgeon entered the waiting room and asked fro Logan's family.

"He doesn't have any. His parents are dead and his sister is in Brazil. But I am his girlfriend and I think I am listed as his medical contact." Veronica said chokingly

The doctor looked at the chart and then the small blond in front of him. "Veronica Mars right?" At her eager nod he continued. "Your boyfriend is out of surgery and we have him stabilized. But he lost a lot of blood and the bullet punctured some vital organs. He is currently in a coma and there is no telling how long he may stay in one. It could be hours, days, weeks, months, or maybe forever. But you can come see him now if you'd like."

That is how Veronica Mars ended up sitting alone and pregnant next to a comatose Logan. Two weeks after the shooting Veronica began feeling nauseous regularly so she went to see a doctor. The doctor informed her that she was 1 month pregnant and everything was going fine.

Veronica had cried for hours onto Logan's shoulder as she lay next to him in the hospital bed. He had to wake up because she could not raise their child on her own. There was no way she could have an abortion or consider an adoption because if she lost Logan she would always have a little part of him in the child they had made together.

The days turned into weeks and Veronica continued to sit diligently at Logan's bedside. She would only leave for a couple of hours at a time for classes or to eat or for a doctor's appointment.

It had been 8 months since Logan had gone into his coma and he had not stirred at all. Veronica felt like a cow with her stomach protruding the way it was and she could not wait to have her baby. She had found out a few months earlier that they were having a girl and she had talked endlessly to Logan about names and their daughter.

Wallace, Mac, and her father supported her decision to keep her daughter and were helping in everyway possible. Mac and Wallace had moved all of Logan' stuff out of the Grande and into an apartment Veronica had rented. Her father helped her move her own stuff into the apartment and set up a nursery for her daughter.

Although her father and her friends worried about the way she so faithfully believed that Logan would wake up they never said a word to her. If they had she may have cut them out of her and her daughter's life because there was only room for hope, not doubts.

Finally Veronica went into labor and although she was completely grossed out Mac stood by her side through the labor and held her hand as Logan would have done had he been awake.

Megan Lynn Echolls was born healthy and beautiful and weighed in at 6 lbs. and 11 oz. the day her daughter was born Veronica cried out of happiness for what her and Logan had created and she cried out of sadness and despair because the man she loved was not there to share it with her and may never be there.
