A/N: So, I seem to have a pattern going with my stories. This one is a WIP, but I started working on it before any of my other stories. I've written a lot of it, so I'll be posting at least one chapter a week. I hope people decide to leave reviews for this story so I know if I should keep going with it :)
Chapter 1
Lilly and Veronica were hanging out in the Kanes' living room.
"Let's go swimming," Lilly said practically dragging Veronica upstairs so they could put on their bathing suits.
"Lilly I'm not putting on my bathing suit," Veronica complained, "I feel bloated and I think I'm about to start my period."
Lilly stopped when Veronica mentioned the word period and Veronica stumbled into her.
"Why'd you stop?" Veronica asked.
"We need to go the pharmacy," Lilly said and started walking back down the stairs.
Twenty minutes later they were still standing at the drugstore looking at the pregnancy tests.
"Are you sure?" Veronica asked.
"No, but I'd rather take the test and know now than agonize over whether my period's going to start or not," Lilly responded.
"Well," Veronica said, "just pick one already."
Lilly was a little scared at the possibility of being pregnant. She had just turned eighteen and had just graduated from high school. Lilly picked up a package that contained two tests.
"Okay," Lilly said, "let's go."
Veronica followed her to the check out. "Why do you need two tests?" Veronica asked.
"One's for you," Lilly said.
"What?!" Veronica shrieked.
"Oh relax," Lilly said, "I just thought it would make me feel a little better if I weren't the only one taking the test."
"Fine," Veronica said, "let's just pay and get out of here."
Twenty minutes later Veronica walked out of the bathroom.
"Okay," Lilly said, "so we wait five minutes and then I'll go check and see if the strip changed."
"So," Veronica said, "do you mind if I ask who you've been sleeping with considering that you and Logan broke up completely a while ago?"
"We kind of want to keep to ourselves," Lilly told her.
"Lilly you know me," Veronica said, "we're best friends. I won't tell anyone."
"You promise?" Lilly asked.
"Yes," Veronica insisted.
"Weevil," Lilly told her.
Veronica sat there in shock. "You've been sleeping with the head of the PCH bike club?" Veronica asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah," Lilly said, "but that's not all we do; we talk and hang out." Lilly glanced at the clock. "I should go check the test," she said.
Veronica followed her into the bathroom. She picked up one of the sticks on the counter and looked at it.
"Oh my god," she said. She turned the stick so Veronica could see. Veronica's face went pale. "I'm pregnant," Lilly said.
"No you're not," Veronica said.
"What do you mean?" Lilly asked. "The strip turned blue."
"Yeah," Veronica said, "but that wasn't your test." Veronica motioned to the test further down on the on counter, "that's your test."
Lilly picked it up, no blue strip. "So," Lilly said as Veronica picked up her test, "were you even going to tell me you're dating someone, let alone sleeping with him?"
"Oh like you were so forthcoming with the information about Weevil," Veronica said.
"That was low," Lilly said, "you know why I didn't tell you about Weevil."
"Well there's a good reason I didn't tell you who I was dating," Veronica said.
"So," Lilly said, "who is he?"
"I think I should tell him I'm pregnant before I tell you who he is," Veronica said as she gathered her stuff together.
"But you are going to tell me eventually, right?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah," Veronica said and then walked out the door. She ran into Duncan on the way out and started to cry.
"What's wrong with Veronica?" Duncan asked Lilly on his way to his room.
"Trust me, you don't want to know," she told him.
Veronica drove up to his house and thought about how she would tell him. They were only seventeen. This wasn't supposed to happen. She walked up to the house and let herself in. She didn't feel like waiting for a maid to answer the door. She went upstairs and opened the door to his room. He was sitting on his bed playing a video game. He looked up when he heard the door open.
"We need to talk," Veronica said.
Logan dropped the control when he heard what she said and how she said it. Concern was evident in his face. "What's wrong?" he asked motioning for her to join him on the bed.
She sat down and began to dig through her purse. "This is what's wrong," Veronica said, pulling the pregnancy test out of her purse and showing Logan.
"Are you sure?" Logan asked still in shock.
"Well the strip turned blue so I'm pretty sure it means I'm pregnant," she told him.
"We should go get another test," Logan said, "just in case it's wrong."
"You mean like a false positive?" Veronica questioned.
"Yeah," Logan said.
"Okay," Veronica said, "let's go."
Logan grabbed his wallet, keys and phone and they headed to the nearest drug store.
Half an hour later they were staring at the three tests sitting on the counter in Logan's bathroom. Veronica had done two more and now all of them had a blue strip on them.
"What in the hell are we going to do?" Logan asked.
"You think I have any ideas!" Veronica yelled at him. "I'm just as surprised as you are."
"I thought we were careful," Logan said.
"Apparently not," Veronica deadpanned.
"You should go to the doctor," Logan told her.
"I can't go to my family doctor," Veronica told him, "it'd be awkward and he could tell my parents."
"I guess I could ask my mom for her doctor's phone number," Logan said, "you should see a doctor that deals with women's problems."
"You mean a gynecologist?" Veronica said.
"Yeah," Logan said.
"You know it might be easier for me to ask her for the number," Veronica said.
She went downstairs and found Logan's mom in the kitchen. She was sitting at the counter drinking tea and reading a magazine.
"Veronica I didn't know you were here," Lynn said when she saw Veronica walk into the kitchen.
"I just came over to talk to Logan," Veronica said, "and he thought you might be able to help me."
"What do you need help with?" Lynn asked.
"Well, I was kind of hoping that maybe you could," Veronica started, "give me the number to your gynecologist."
"Any particular reason?" Lynn asked getting up to get the number for her.
"Um…" Veronica stuttered.
"Veronica," Lynn said, "can I talk to you?"
"Sure," Veronica said.
"Why don't we go sit in the living room," Lynn suggested.
They sat down on the sofa and Lynn looked at Veronica.
"I know that it's none of my business," Lynn said, "but I kind of get the feeling that the need to see a gynecologist has to do with you and Logan having sex."
"Um…" Veronica started and Lynn cut her off.
"If you want me to go with you so you can get birth control pills, I will," Lynn offered.
"That's nice of you to offer," Veronica said as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh Veronica I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry," Lynn said, "I just thought you might feel more comfortable with me there." Lynn hugged Veronica, who now had tears rolling down her cheeks.
Logan had chosen that moment to look for Veronica and found her crying with his mother. "What's going on?" Logan asked as he walked over to where they were sitting.
"I was talking to her about going to the gynecologist and she just started crying," Lynn told him.
Logan knelt down in front of Veronica and coaxed her into looking at him.
"I'll leave you two alone," Lynn said getting up.
"Actually," Logan said, "I think we need to talk to you."
Lynn was taken aback by Logan wanting her to stay. Logan forced Veronica to look at him. "I think we should tell her," Logan said to her. Veronica nodded her assent. Lynn sat back down and Logan sat on the coffee table in front of her.
"You know we've been dating for a while now," Logan said, "and, as much as I don't want to talk about this with my mother, we've been having sex."
"I kind of assumed the reason Veronica wanted the number of my gynecologist was because she wanted to get a prescription for birth control pills," Lynn said.
"There's more," Logan said stopping her. "We thought we were being careful," Logan started.
"Please don't say what I think you're going to say," Lynn said in a slightly pleading tone.
"We think Veronica's pregnant," Logan told her.
"And that's why she needs to see the gynecologist," Lynn said.
"Yeah," Logan said, "she's taken three at home tests and they all came back positive."
"And you want to be sure that they weren't faulty," Lynn stated.
"Something like that," Logan told her.
"I'll go call and have her squeezed in," Lynn said and got up.
"Thank you Mrs. Echolls," Veronica said.
When his mother was gone Logan moved to the sofa and cradled Veronica in his arms. "Everything's going to be okay," Logan whispered into her ear.
"How do you know?" Veronica asked.
"Because as long as we're together we can get through anything," Logan told her.
"Besides," Logan said, "I love you and I'm going to be here for you no matter what the doctor tells you."
"I love you too," Veronica said as she squeezed him tighter.
"She can squeeze you in but we have to go now," Lynn said when she returned.
"You're taking her?" Logan asked.
"Well I figure she's in no shape to drive and if she is pregnant at least she'll have someone she can talk to who's been through it," Lynn said.
"I can go too if you want," Logan said to Veronica.
"No, I'll be fine," Veronica promised.
"We need to leave," Lynn said. Veronica followed her to the door and so did Logan.
"I'll be waiting for you," Logan said to Veronica and kissed her before watching her walk to his mother's car. He stayed staring until he saw the gates closing.
