Hey guys…this is the second story I am writing. My first story is a Gallagher Girls story about Zach and Cammie. This ones going to be a Veronica/Logan story eventually Veronica/Lamb (I loved them both so much that I couldn't choose) This story takes place after Donut Run in season 2. I changed the dates around a bit to make everything fit right, and I tried using as many quotes from the show, but had some trouble remembering. Also I researched a lot on this topic. So much that my parents are probably waiting for me to tell them I'm pregnant (which I am Not.) I would like to say that I don't own Veronica Mars. If I did I would probably find a way to still have it air. Hope you enjoy this story.

Red Satin

Chapter 1

Right now Lamb was probably half way through Mexico, Duncan was with baby Lilly, on his way out of America, and me well I'm in a pharmacy 2 hours out of Neptune. Why? You may ask am I 2 hours away? Well when you live in a town as small as Neptune you don't want to risk the chance of running into anyone you know with pregnancy tests in your hand. Yeah I know, I'm buying pregnancy tests…I might be pregnant. You're probably thinking 'geeze I thought you'd be the type of girl to use protection' well we did. Duncan and I used protection almost every time we had sex and now that one or two times we didn't may becoming back to say hi. Well I'm not sure if I'm pregnant but with the way I've been feeling lately it's a given that I probably am. For example I've been hit with an intense amount of nausea for a few weeks, and I've been late for 2 weeks. Yeah this is not exactly how I wanted to start the new year out, pregnant single teen about to graduate high school in 5 months.

I walked over to the register and paid for the 4 pregnancy tests and left as soon as possible. I drove home as quickly as possible (an hour and a half when it usually takes 2 hours) and ran to the bathroom to take the tests. I set my phone for 5 minutes and then waited for the results. I tried to entertain myself and keep my mind off the obvious but every time I kept thinking 'what if I am pregnant?'

5 minutes later

Okay test one- Positive.

"Damn!" I whispered.

Number two, (fingers crossed) Positive.

"Damn it!" I repeated.

Test number three- Positive.

"seriously!" I muttered

Finally it was time for the fourth test- Positive.

"fuck!" I shouted.

"Veronica is something wrong?" I heard dad shout.

"No just dropped my phone behind my bed!" I lied.

Great my thoughts were coming true. I was the single pregnant teen. Perfect! I would have to go to the doctors soon to figure out how far along I was. I picked up the test and put them in a plastic bag and hid them in my underwear drawer. Living with a P.I. and former sheriff makes hiding things a little harder. Hiding things in underwear drawers would guarantee that dad would never search inside it. I knew I had to tell him but it would have to wait until I went to the doctors.

"Honey. It's dinner time, I made chili!" dad said as he popped his head in through my door.

My stomach flipped at the word chili. "I'm not hungry dad. I'm sorry!" I replied. Chili was among the list of things I could not stand. Eggs, Cologne, cheese, salsa, and ranch dressing all made me gag.

"Are you sure honey?" dad asked. " It's your favorite. Are you feeling alright?" he said putting a hand to my forehead.

"I'm fine. I ate a big lunch that's all." I replied. Yeah this baby was definitely Duncan's. It had his dislike for chili.

"Okay. Well I leave the leftovers in the fridge if you're hungry later." he replied.

As soon as he left and closed my door I picked up my phone and dialed the doctors to set up an appointment. Lucky for me they had an open spot tomorrow during lunch period. I had the feeling that the universe was telling me that telling dad was a necessary thing.

After the appointment was set up I opened my laptop and googled pregnancy to read up on the next glorious nine months. 'Lovely.' I thought. Stretch marks, crazy cravings and peeing every ten seconds.

"Just what I wanted for graduation." I whispered to myself. "To walk across the with a child in my uterus."

The Next Day

7 am. Time to go to good ol' Neptune high. I couldn't wait 'til I started showing, I could just see the reactions now. I got ready for school and grabbed banana and left for school.

When I pulled in to school I saw patrol cars. Was this the one time I didn't know lockers searches were being scheduled. Guess that means they'd find my playboys and beers…I arrived at my locker and saw Lamb and Clemmons standing at my locker waiting for me.

"Hold on a second…" I began. "Did you slip a prom invite in my locker? Because I remember telling you that going to prom was a no-go deputy!" I joked. He rolled his eyes at my comment. "What are you guys trying to find now? Because I took out my playboys and beers last week so there's nothing in there."

"Veronica, the sheriff here needs to take you down to the station for some more questioning about Duncan Kane." Clemmons instructed.

"Take me away deputy!" I said sticking my arms out and looking up at the ceiling. "Just have me back by lunch. This girl's got herself a doctors appointment."

Lamb grabbed my arm and led me out of the school and into the back of the patrol car. At the station I was sent to the interrogation room and watched Lamb stare me down.

"Did you bring me here just to stare at me because if you did that would be a major abuse of power. Don't you think?"

"Very funny." he began. "Do you know what else is funny…? Being sent on a wild goose chase looking for your boyfriend and his kid."

"Ex-Boyfriend. And if that baby was left with the Manning's she would have been tortured like grace was." I threw back.

He stared at me intently and waited for me to speak.

"Where are they?" he yelled.

"I don't know! But do tell me what you would do if you found them? Would you send her back to the Manning's and let them torture and brainwash her?" I snapped. "Well?!"

He looked down at his hands and then back to me not speaking a word.

"Listen I don't know where that baby is but you and I both know that she is better off living on the run with Duncan then with the Manning's!" I finished. "Am I free to go? Because I have somewhere to be."

He sighed and looked at me. "For your information I would have made sure that the baby was safe." he spoke. "You're free to go. But I'm watching you…"

"Thanks deputy…another reason not to sleep at night…umm you coming? I can't get to my appointment with out my car which is currently in the Neptune high parking lot."

He stood up and walked out of the station to the patrol car.

The drive took 15 minutes and I was back at Neptune high school at 10 am. Enough time to go to two classes and then my appointment.

I walked on to health class to hear that today's lesson was about pregnancy and the special of the day was a child birth video.

'I swear someone up there is probably laughing their ass off right now. I bet Lilly is laughing so hard that she's going to start crying.' I thought.

"you know me so well Veronica!" I heard Lilly's voice say in my head.

After the lecture Ms. Hauser put the video in the player and I witnessed the joy of child birth. Lets just say that the video was so graphic that I wanted to cry. Not only was I in pain just watching it I couldn't stop thinking about how 9 months from now that would be me.

I praised all the different gods when the belt bell rang for the next class. For the first time I was excited to go to math class. Math class was a make-up/study day for the upcoming test. I tried working on my homework but I kept thinking about the doctors appointment next period.

When the bell rang I headed to my car so that I could get to my appointment.

"Hey veronica, where you goin'?" I heard Mac shout.

"Doctors appointment…Don't miss me too much." I quipped.

"What ever…See ya later." she replied.

I drove to my appointment and then waited for my name to be called. Fifteen minutes later I finally heard it.

"Veronica Mars?" I heard the nurse say.

I nodded and walked up to her.

"Room 3. The doctor will be with you in 5 minutes."

I followed her to room 3 and waited for the doctor for 10 minutes instead of 5 minutes when he came in.

"Miss Mars." he spoke. "And what do I owe this visit too?" he asked.

"I'm pregnant. I just found out yesterday."

"Did you take any home tests?" he asked.

'Obviously if I found out yesterday I most likely took a test' I thought. "I took four actually. All were positive." I replied.

"Mmmhmm." he replied writing down the information. "And when was the last time you had sex?"

"The last time was 2 weeks ago." I replied.

"Did you use protection?" he asked.

"protections almost always used protection, though there was one or two times we hadn't." I replied.

"And have you been feeling the symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, light to no menstrual cycle?" he asked.

"Just nausea, fatigue and I haven't had my period in 2 weeks when I was supposed to have it." I answered.

"Okay." he said writing down everything. "What we're going to do is take urine sample and do one more test and then take some blood samples determine how far along you are."

I nodded and went on to do the test. About 15 minutes later he returned with the results.

"Okay Veronica. The test determined that you are indeed pregnant. The blood tests won't be conclusive until tomorrow, but estimating from what you've told me, I'd have to say that you're approximately 7 weeks along. Have you thought about what your options are?" he asked.

I nodded. "I want to keep the baby." I answered. That was all I could think about last night while I was trying to fall asleep. All I knew was that I didn't want to live with regret knowing that I would never see my kid because I got an abortion or gave it up for adoption.

"Okay well since you are keeping it, I'm prescribing you some pre-natal vitamins which you need to take every day. Also I will set up a pre-natal appointment with Dr. Farrell the OB/GYN at this practice." he informed me while writing down on a prescription pad. "Have you finished your anti-biotic for Chlamydia?" he asked.

"Yes my last dose was last week." I replied. "Would that harm the baby in any way?"

"There is no way to be sure but anti-biotic treatments have been used on pregnant women with no side-effects." he answered. "Now that you have found out make sure you don't drink or smoke or use harmful substances. These could really harm the development of the fetus."

"No worries. I don't do any of those things." I replied.

"Also make sure to cut out any caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, sodas, especially in the first trimester. A coffee now and then isn't awful, but please lower your caffeine intake." he continued. "Stay away from fish with high mercury levels, Raw meats, Deli meats, smoked sea foods, raw eggs, soft cheeses, unpasteurized milk, and unwashed vegetables."

"Wow that's a lot of things." I replied.

"Yes but they are very important to stay away from during pregnancy. Here I'll give you a couple of pamphlets on what to do. It'll give you more information on what to avoid and what to increase." he said leaving the room.

I got dressed and waited for him to come back. He came back five minutes later with pamphlets in hand.

"Here you go. I also set up the appointment with Dr. Farrell on February 18th, if you're not able to make it please call 48 hours in advance to reschedule." he informed me. "Good Luck Miss. Mars and make sure to get those vitamins as soon as possible."

"Thanks I'll get them tonight." I replied.

"Have a nice day. Bye." he said leading me out of the room.

"Bye."

I put everything in my bag and walked out of the office and to my car. I checked my phone to see that it was 1:55 and I had two classes. History and Journalism. I drove back to Neptune high knowing that I couldn't afford to miss any school if I wanted to the Kane Scholarship. I arrived at school 5 minutes late for history class but sat down and took notes on World War I. After 40 minutes was over I walked to journalism. During the class I started to think of how I was supposed to tell my dad.

"Dad guess what? You're going to be a grandpa!" probably wasn't the best way to tell him. I also thought that waiting until I was 6 months pregnant or when I went into labor wasn't a good idea either. I decided on making him his favorite meal of steaks, mashed potatoes and greens beans with brownies for dessert was the best idea. That way he'd be lethargic and weighed down so he wouldn't be able to run me out of the house. I wrote down a list of things to get for dinner tonight so that I could sneakily tell him the truth.

I went grocery shopping after school and got the food and vitamins. I then headed home to start dinner. Dad wouldn't arrive until 5:30 which gave me time to make everything. By 5:00 everything was ready. The brownies were on the counter cooling and the food was on the stove keeping warm. I cleaned up and set the table and thought about how I was going to tell him. 20 minutes later I still hadn't come up with any way of telling him. Defeated I started to cut up the brownies and eat the brownie bits left in the pan.

"Mmmm what smells so good?" dad asked.

"I made your favorite dinner. And don't you dare say that you're not hungry to get back at me for yesterday because the punishment will be me giving away this delicious plate of brownies to Mac and her family." I warned.

"Well I was going to say thank you daughter for the wonderful meal but now I'll have to say that men never turn down food. No matter how angry they are." he replied.

We sat down and ate dinner. When we were done I did the dishes and cleaned up while he ate a brownie and watched TV. When I was done I sat in the chair right next to him.

I took a deep breath to get rid of my anxiety and said "Dad I need to tell you something."

"I figured. What's wrong?" he asked taking his eyes of the TV and looking to me.

"Dad I'm…" I took another deep breath. "I'm pregnant."

Ooooh cliffhanger! I hope you enjoyed it! Chapter 2 will be up pretty soon…umm just to note I had Veronica already have her Chlamydia treatment because I thought it would interfere with the baby…Please read and review. I appreciate all your words!
