CHAPTER 1: Another Day in Neptune

AN: So I have recently been reading a lot of Veronica Mars fics and found that they have inspired me. So I have decided to write one of my own, I have about 20 chapters planed out for this, but we will see how it goes. I also have a sequel in mind if this story goes well. Some things that you should know. Lilly's not dead. Keith isn't Veronica's father and she lives with Lilly and Duncan in the Kane house. There aren't really any adults in this story but it takes place about season 2 when they are all seniors. Oh and the one thing that is majorly different is that there is a third Casablancas. I got this idea from a fanfic I read called "Annabelle Casablancas" but ideas of how the sister would fit in is different from that story. Anyway here is the first chapter. I don't have a beta so all mistakes are mine. -LazzyMae

Disclaimer: I don't own VM if I did then Logan and Veronica wouldn't have broken up at all along with Lilly and Cassidy would still be alive.

-Duncan's Point of View-

"Meg I don't know about this, I mean I know you are starting to show and everything but my sisters and I are just starting to get back to a good place." I tried to reason with my girlfriend Meg Manning as we sat and ate lunch at a corner table in the lunch area away from the rest of our 09er friends.
"Yes, but you see I can't hide this from my parents or anyone else any longer. Thankfully I have gone this long without starting to show." She tries to explain to me. "Besides you know as soon as my parents find out they are going to ship me off, so we have to have a plan a head of time and no one, and I mean no one can hatch up a plan like Veronica Kane." I don't even think before I give her a funny look. "I mean Veronica Mars. Is she ever going to change her name? I mean it's been a year." She asks me questioningly.
"I don't know, it's kind of complicated. She says that as much as she loves me and Lilly, she isn't ready to give up on Mr. Mars coming back. He was the only father she knew until she was 16 and even then my father and mother both jumped ship a month after she moved in. So that didn't leave any of us with much parental support to go through that mess." I tried to explain how complicated the situation really was as I stole a fry from her lunch tray. Truthfully I wasn't sure if Veronica would ever fully grasp the fact that she was in fact my sister that she was Jake Kane's daughter, not Keith Mars' and that overnight she went from being an only child to having a brother and a sister. As I am rambling on about this I don't even hear or see my sisters approaching
"Hey Meg, Donut." My sister Lilly said as she ran up and jumped toward me. Lilly had always been the one that was too loud, to forward and overall bubbly out of the three of us, even before we found out about Veronica being our sister. Then of course not far behind Lilly there was Veronica, she's been Lilly's shadow for the longest time, but when we found out the truth something changed in her, and I couldn't help but feel like Lilly and I were responsible for this change. After we discovered the truth, we threw her to the gutter like she was an old pair of shoes that neither of us had any use for anymore. It took a good 2 months before we truly accepted her as our sister and let her back into our lives. After those two months though, she was completely different.
"So what is going on?" Lilly asked in her general bubbly voice "Why are you setting over here all by yourselves?"
"What do you mean Lil?" I asked trying to act like I had no idea of what she was hinting about.
"Well when we came up here you two looked like you were in the twilight zone." Veronica stated as Meg and I gave her a funny look "That or you were thinking far too hard about something." Veronica looked to Lilly to see if she agreed with her.
"Well now that you mention it there is something that Duncan would like to share with the two of you." Meg said trying to push me in the right direction; to which she only received a weird look from me. I soon realized though that Meg was not willing to play along any long. So with a big sigh and a quick pray I decided that it was time to come clean with my sisters once and for all and suffer the consequences.
"Meg and I…." I quickly tried to re think my strategy "You see the thing is…." No that wasn't the way to approach the subject "Meg is…" I didn't have the chance to finish my statement as Veronica quickly understood what I was about to say.
"Oh my lord Meg's pregnant." Veronica quickly shouted out loud enough that the usually loud lunch area went dead silent. This fact though went unnoticed to Veronica as she wasn't paying any attention to anyone but her myself and Meg.
Lilly on the other hand had a look on her face that spoke volumes what Veronica had just shouted out was ridiculous Duncan was far too responsible to knock up his high school girlfriend. Wasn't he? Lilly was quickly realizing that I wasn't yelling at Veronica about making such an outrageous statement "She's not right is she?" she asked in a soft whisper to try to get everyone to go back to their own business as she looked back and forth between me and Meg quickly "is she!" Lilly nearly shouted when she realized that I was just sitting there slightly dumb founded.
At this point Meg was forced to speak up due to me still not being able to snap out my current state of shock. "Yes, I am pregnant." That was all she had to say before Lilly got up and just walked off.
"How far" was the only thing that Veronica was able to say as she quickly looked back and forth between the two of us then quickly kicked me under the table when I was still sitting in shock.
"4 months" Meg answered Veronica "We need your help." She quickly followed before Veronica had a chance to make a comment about how far along she was.
"My help?" Veronica asked getting more confused by the minute. "What could I possibly help you with?"
At this point I came out of my trance. "We have to get Meg out of her parents' house before they figure it out."
"How have you been hiding it from them for the last 4 months?" she asked as she was debating at weather she was going to help us or not
"I keep my prenatal vitamins in my locker in a Tylenol bottle hid behind some books, I wear baggy clothes and spend as much time as I can away from the house." Meg told her
"Veronica there is some stuff about her parents that no one knows about and because of this stuff you have to help us please." Veronica looked at me blankly as I said this. I knew that look it was the: what he could be talking about look that she had perfected all these years.
"Okay I will help." Veronica told us, "But first you have to tell me what is going on. I mean everything." Just as she finished the bell rang and began to gather her stuff I knew if she was late to health class one more time she'd end up in Principal Clemmons office again. "Meet me after school at Duncan's place… I mean at our house." She told us as she ran off.
"Well that went slightly better than I was expecting." I told Meg "Only one of my sisters ran off, I figured they both would." I quickly grab ahold of Meg's hand and we headed off to class. At least one of my sisters was rational enough to let us finish or at least to meet with us later so we could formulate a plan of action.

-Veronica's Point of View-

I didn't quite make it all the way to class before I was pulled into the bathroom by someone. I knew this tactic all too well. It had to be Logan Echolls, my very supportive very loving boyfriend. While usually these little trips into the girls restroom were to make out I knew that this was Logan's way of trying to find out what was going on with my brother and Meg.
"I missed you at Lunch today Ronnie." He told me as he quickly pinned me up against the door and gave me a kiss that would make a girl go weak in the knees. As he pulled away he asked "What was going on with Duncan and Meg?"
" Well that's kind of complicated. I will explain everything when I can, but for now I am going to be late for class" I said as I slip away from him and I hear him say "You better, I haven't seen Lil that made since we were 13 and I threw her brand new MP3 player in the pool"
"I will, just later." I said as I grab a hold of his hand and make a mad dash to class before we are late. The minute we walk in the door I am ripped away from Logan as Lilly drags me to the empty seats were her and I usually sit.
"Seriously V can you believe that?" She asked me before I even had time to comprehend that I was being rushed to the seats. "I mean can you believe that Meg's Pregnant?" she said that last part to where I could barely hear her.
"Lilly I don't know what exactly is going on but we are going to find out." I tell her as class starts. "We are meeting them at home after school to talk about it." I turn and look at Logan on the other side of me and I know that he deserves to be there to. Even though he wasn't really a part of this he and Duncan had been best friends since we were 9 when he moved to Neptune. Besides I think that Duncan would understand that I can't keep this from him. "Psst…" I whispered trying to get my boyfriend's attention as he gives a look that lets me know he was listening I ask him for a ride home explaining that Weevil was taking my car to the shop to get fixed. This way I didn't really tell him what was going on, but he would be there to give Duncan support and I couldn't be blamed if Logan just happened to be there.

-Lilly's Point of View-

Come on, come on. Just ring already. I was beginning to be inpatient waiting for the final bell of the day to ring. I was still trying to fully comprehend the bomb shell that my brother had dropped on myself and Veronica at lunch. I know that Veronica told me that we were supposed to meet Donut and Meg at home right after school. This was the one day that I wouldn't prolong going home.
RING!
Yes! Okay people get out of my way I am on a mission. I have to get home. I quickly fought myself through the crowd and made it to my car in record time. As I rushed home I don't know I was surprised to see Logan's yellow SUV sitting in the drive. Sneaky sister. You didn't want to face Duncan and Meg without Prince Charming by your side. As I get out of my car and walk up to the window of the SUV I notice that the windows were fogged up. Oh joy guess I get to have a little fun as I start pounding on the window.
"What the hell Lilly?" Logan yells at me as he rolls down his window never letting go of my little sister.
"Well judging by the fog that is on these windows I would say that you two skipped out on 5th period didn't you?" I asked as my sister's face turned several shades of red. "What I don't get is… why you are in the car?" with that I received a funny look. "Hello, we don't have parents watching over our every move and you have an entire house to yourselves."
"Let's just go inside Lil." Veronica said as she got out of the SUV and straightens her cloths. "Come on Logan, I think you need to be here for this." She told me as she grabbed his hand and drug him to the front door.
"Do you think that's such a good idea Ronnie?" I asked her as we walked into the living room of the house. Right away Corletta our maid came up and asked if we would like anything. I quickly tell her that we would like some sodas and snacks, along with that Duncan and Meg would be here soon.
"What are you up to V?" Logan asked her as they settled into the large chair across from me. "Why do I have a feeling this has something to do with what happened at Lunch." Logan looks back and forth between me and Veronica
Before either of us had a chance to answer him we heard Duncan and Meg walk into the door.

-Meg's Point Of View-

"Why is Logan's SUV here?" I ask Duncan as we pulled into his drive way to see that while Logan and Lilly's vehicles were both there Veronica's was clearly missing.
"Your guess is as good as mine?" Duncan answered me as we made our way into the living room of the Mansion. I was still trying to get used to this place, while I lived in the 09er district my house was the smallest in the area. The Kane house had always felt like a castle to me.
"Good you're here we can get started." I hear Veronica say as we go to sit down on the love seat.
"Hey Logan…. Um what are you doing here?" I asked not really minding but I knew I wasn't ready to come out about pregnancy to everyone just yet. Of course Logan wasn't just anyone, he was Duncan's best friend and Veronica's boyfriend but still I wanted to keep this all in the family for a while.
"Before you guys freak out I asked him to be here." I hear Veronica says before Logan had a chance to say anything. "You both know I can't keep this from him and the plan that I have come up with involves him."
"Okay Veronica we will, but let me be the one to tell him. After all I didn't get the words out before you blurted it out at lunch." Duncan tells her before he turns his attention to Logan "Meg is four months pregnant." He tells his best friend with such ease.
"Um… you're pregnant?" Logan said looking at me "And you have a plan" He said looking to Veronica.
"Yes, and I hope that you will go along with it because it requires you to move." Veronica said looking at Logan and giving him that look that he couldn't resist.
"Okay we're listening V. What do you have running through that little head of yours?" Lilly asked her sister.
" Well you see I was thinking that where you two," she points to Duncan and I "Are trying to get out away from Meg's Parents that if you move into together it would be best." She further explains.
"Okay not that I don't agree with that but why does it require me to move?" Logan asked not quite grasping the concept yet.
"Well I was thinking, with you guys starting your little family weather intentional or not that you are going to need your space. I know while there is plenty of room here I think that it would be better if you guys moved into the Pent house at the Neptune Grand." Veronica explained.
"Well Sugarpuss that explains were they are going, but where does that leave me?" Logan asked. "In case you have forgotten that is my room.
"Well I was thinking that you could always live in the pool house here." She told him with a seductive smirk.
"Really and why would I want to give up my independence to live with two girls?" Logan asked provoking Lilly to throw a pillow at his head. Just as she did this Veronica leaned back to whisper something into Logan's ear. "Okay." Logan said as he stood up and pulled out his wallet. "Here is the key to the room, the keys to the mini bar and the pin to the room service account." He quickly through all of this at Duncan and I then grabbed Veronica by the best and threw her over his shoulder "I am going to check out my new digs. See ya." He said as he rushed out of the room with Veronica giggling as she waved over his shoulder.
"Seriously you guys are going to leave me with them?" Lilly asked as she pointed to the two running out of the house.
"I don't know it's up to Meg?" Duncan told his sister as he looked at me "What do you think Meg Pie? Should we move into the Pent House at the Neptune Grand?"
"I think we should. I will go home now and start packing up some things. We will have to sneak out the rest of my stuff though." I told him as I stood and gave him a quick kiss on the check. "You might want to pack some cloths and then head to the Grand and pack up some of Logan's stuff I think he is going to be occupied for a while." I waved good bye to Lilly and walked out the door.

AN: Okay there it is the first chapter. Like I said I have this planned out to be a multi chapter story. Next chapter shouldn't be as long and it will be a few chapters before we deal with any of the other characters but please give it a shot Reviews are greatly appreciated. -LazzyMae
