A/N: Post movie. Spoilers from all seasons and from the movie so if you haven't seen it, you have been warned. It is a LoVe story but with plenty of twists and more ships. Such as MaDi, Wallace/OC, & JaLi {my new ship name for Jade/Eli} I will also be bringing back more characters, and even some new ones.

Disclaimer: I don't own Veronica Mars or the characters. I'm just a Marshmallow who can't get enough of these characters. The original characters do however belong to me.


Who Says
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
With every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known,
who says you can't go home I been there, done that and I ain't looking that
It's been a long long road
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles away or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go,
Who says you can't go home

Introduction

The words were on a loop in her head; One hundred and eighty days. It was nothing for them. They were epic. Their story was epic, spanning years and continents, lives ruined, bloodshed. She knew saying goodbye would be hard.. she just never expected how much it was going to hurt.

After all, she was Veronica Mars; sassy, independent, didn't need a man to make her happy. But her one weak spot had always been Logan Echolls. They'd known each other since they were twelve; their history was one for the books. Sixteen years. More than half of that time had been an on again off again relationship but now there was no going back. They both knew that this was their last shot, that there wasn't anyone in the world they'd rather be with. The past was the past, and though they both had commitment and trust issues, they were determined to make things work this time. They had grown up, matured, and Veronica had given up a great life in New York for Logan.

No one in their lives were surprised that she'd stayed in Neptune. Not even Piz, who even though he was heartbroken, knew that the heart of Veronica Mars had always been in Neptune with Logan.

Over the past two months Veronica and Logan had shared emails, letters, weekly phone calls and sometimes even were able to Skype. Even knowing the couple, everyone was shocked by what came three months after Logan had left.

Veronica, Wallace, Keith, Dick and Mac stared at the computer screen that Logan appeared on. This was new, usually Veronica was the messenger with them all, well wishes and such. Everyone knew that them all being in the room together meant that it was something very serious. The room was silent.

"Ronnie, can you please tell us what the fuck is going on here?" Dicks voice echoed, he got a dirty look by Mr. Mars and uttered a quiet apology for his language.

"Logan and I have some news and we wanted you all here when we shared it.." Veronica finally spoke, her words were shaky.

"Let me guess.. you're engaged?" Keith didn't look angry, just annoyed that Logan hadn't spoken to him first.

"Well.." Logan sighed, the signal was a bit weak so the sound was a bit delayed, "Veronica.. you wanna help me out? I realize I'm thousands of miles away but I'm pretty sure your father could still find a way to kill me.."

Everyone in the room was on edge, and Veronica looked terrified but happy at the same time. All eyes were on her, even Logans, who couldn't keep the grin off of his face. Something bigger than an engagement was definitely going on, everyone was eager to hear what it was.

"Well.. Pops, it looks like you're going to be a grandfather." Those were her words, trying to be cute even though she knew her father would be in shock. The blonde had a grin on her face though, proving to her father and her friends that she really was excited about this; she was happy. That's what mattered to all of them.

"Holy shit" Dick was the first to speak, "I'm gonna be an uncle!" with that, he wrapped his arms around Veronica in a nearly bone crushing hug. He was pried off by Mr. Mars, who hugged his daughter tightly and tried not to show the tears in his eyes.

"I'm too young to be a grandpa.." he teased, "are you happy about this?" he questioned in a whisper.

"I am daddy, I promise." She hugged him back tightly, "I love you" she promised, wiping tears from her own eyes. A rare occasion was for people to witness her cry.

"Okay, why don't you guys go into the other room and celebrate while I have a chat with Logan.." Keith sighed, sitting in front of the computer, seeing the look of panic on Logans face. The group did as told, each of her friends hugging her and congratulating her.

"I know this is a shock Mr. Mars.. and it wasn't planned. In fact, I had intentions of asking for your blessing to marry her as soon as I got home. This is my last tour and I will be off active duty.." Logan rambled on but stopped when he saw the serious look on Keiths face.

"You know I was never a huge fan of you Logan.. but I've watched you the past nine years, watched what you have accomplished, watched you make something out of yourself. As much as I hated it, I always knew one of these days you and Veronica would be back together. But I warned you years ago not to hurt my daughter, and you broke that promise on more than one occasion. You've changed though, and if there is one thing I've always known is how much you love my little girl." Keith sighed, but grinned a little at the man who had become someone he did respect.

"I do love her sir, more than anything in the world" Logan promised, he had always envied the relationship that Veronica and Keith had. It was something he always wanted; something he would be sure his child would have with him.

"I know you do. That's why I'm telling you right now.. come back to her. I love her more than anything in the world too.. you make her happy. That's good enough for me. But if you hurt her again.. I promise it will be the last thing you do. So, yes, you have my blessing. Don't be a hero Echolls, stay safe and come back to my little girl. It's not just about Veronica anymore; it's about your child. So come home for them." Keith wasn't a mushy guy, but this was the love of his daughters life, the father of his unborn grandchild, and he could see the fear in Logans eyes as he mentioned the baby. "And Logan, you are nothing like your father.. you will be a good dad." He promised, easing the mind of the trouble making kid he had watched grow into a real man, one who was as close to worthy as anyone could be for his daughter.

"Thank you Mr. Mars." Logan seemed a bit choked up, but smiled. "I won't let you down, and I won't let them down." Logan paused, "Mr. Mars.. all I know is that if I'm half the father that you are, this kid is going to be lucky. I always wanted what you and Ronnie have. It does scare me because I don't want to be like my dad, like any 09er father was to their children. But you are the kind of dad that I want to be. I just wanted you to know that."

Keith was on the verge of tears, and he didn't want his future son in law to see him cry, but Logan was family now. "Thank you son" he finally said, "And Logan, I didn't get a chance to say it before you left.. but thank you. You saved my life." With that, Keith waved Veronica back in the room so she could talk to Logan before he had to go. "Don't screw this up kid, you'll never find anyone more amazing than my little girl."

"I know sir, I won't." Logan promised a smile appearing on his face as Veronica came back into the frame, kissing her father's head as he walked into the other room. Once Keith left the room Logan smiled at Veronica, who was beaming. "I hate this, but I have to go.. I'm glad they all know though babe. I can't wait to get home to you."

"Ninety two more days." She sighed, "I love you, I can't wait until you're back where you belong; where we belong. Stay safe, this little one needs you, we both do."

"I love you Veronica Mars, what's three more months to us?" he questioned, and with that the screen went blank and he was gone. Veronica sighed, letting the tears fall freely for a moment as she placed a protective hand on her stomach. Three more months and the love of her life would be back in her arms, six more months and they would welcome their baby into the world.

But it was Neptune, and that meant that there would be more surprises and complications to come. Still, Veronica finally had the feeling that everything would work out. As she looked into the other room where her father and her best friends, including Dick who had been very protective of her over the past few months due to Logans orders, she realized that she had people who would have her back no matter what. Who would be there even when she was wrong; that was something she never thought she could have. A grin appeared on her face once again, she had a family, and soon it would be expanding. Sure, there would be some bumps along the road but that was life, and as long as she had the support of those she loved and who loved her, they could get through anything.
