Disclaimer: I don't not own Veronica Mars, or any of the characters.

Author's note: This starts off from the middle of Season 2. Everything that has happened in Season 2 so far still happened. This takes place three months after Meg died.

"Hey sweetie," Veronica said as she went up to Duncan at his locker.

"Hey," he replied as he kissed her. He closed his locker, interlocked hands with Veronica as they headed for Journalism.

Journalism hasn't been the same since Meg's death. The class was still in shock of Meg being pregnant and how the baby survived. The baby was the care of Meg's parents. Duncan had been to court to try and win over his baby, but it didn't go over well. The case was won by the Mannings' all because of Duncan's "episodes" from epilepsy. They argued that he was in no shape to raise a child. Duncan argued back with all the evidence of being an abuse parents, but no one believed him. Even Sheriff Lamb denied any accusations about the abuse. Duncan was heart broken and Veronica being the PI that she was, was trying her best to get the baby out of Meg's parents' hands. She wasn't trying because it was Duncan's baby but because of the promise to Meg she made.

"Well hello the most perfect couple ever," Logan mumbled as they walked in. Veronica looked into Logan's eyes. "He's wasted" is what she thought. He had been very down since he broke things off with Kendal. He realized that she was using him for his money, but then again he was just using her for sex.

"That was perfect …baby," Kendall said as she wrapped her arms around Logan. "Oh, it feels so good to be with you, I just want to be with you all the time.

"Uh, bit of advice: when looking for a sugar daddy," he said as he threw his arms back, "at least pick the richest guy in the hotel suite." Kendal then lifts herself off of him, stares at him offended.

"I'm sorry. Did that hurt your feelings?" Logan asked.

"I can't believe you just said that to me. Doesn't this mean anything to you?"

"It does. It means I'm getting laid. And I owe your village a goat," Logan chuckled as he reached for his underwear toward the bottom of the bed, which he proceeds to slide into under the sheet."

"You know, you can joke all you want." Kendal replied, "I know we have a connection, Logan." Logan then laughs at her. "You know, it may have just started off as sex, but over these past few months it's grown into something more."

Logan then pulls himself up slightly and gazes at her, "Wow. So, your feelings have grown as your available balance has shrunk. It's like science! One of the problems of sleeping with your stepson's friend: information tends to leak."

Logan officially broke things off when he found out she had slept with Duncan. From that moment on things were not the same between him and Duncan. How could things be after what Duncan did? He never told anyone what he knew; he just kept it to himself. Ironically she didn't need a "sugar daddy" any more because she got rich after Beaver's company went skyrocketing.

"Hey Logan," Veronica replied with a twinkle in her eyes. She felt bad for him. He had lost Lily, and his mother within a year. Plus his dad was in jail for killing Lily. Logan thought he should be there for his mother's death also.

"Hey what up?" Duncan asked.

"Nothing, can you excuse me while I go barf?" Logan replied as he walked out of the room.

"What's got him?" Veronica questioned.

"Beats me."

"Has he been acting like this at the house?"

"I wouldn't know every time I am home he's gone or locked up into his room."

"Oh, oh well," Veronica replied as she took her seat as she looked out the door.

A few hours later at Mars Investigation Veronica was wrapping up a case about a cheating husband. Business has been slow since New Years. Nothing has really happened in Neptune in the past three months. Veronica's senior year was zooming by. She was accepted to the local college in Neptune and she decided that Neptune is where she would be spending the next four years of her life. Duncan had been accepted to Berkeley, which wasn't that far from Neptune. And all was good.

That night Veronica went to Duncan's apartment she heard someone crying and a familiar man's voice.

"You are not pregnant," he yelled.

"Yes I am, and I think it's yours."

"The hell it's mine, you were screwing 5 guys and you are gonna blame it on me? That's bullshit. You should just leave."

"But," she said sobbing.

"BUT NOTHING, LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK," he said as he slammed the door.

Veronica stood in disbelief that someone could be so cruel. As she walked to the apartment she saw Kendal sobbing at the door. Veronica went up to her to try to comfort her.

"Leave me alone, it's all your fault that he's not fessing up that I can carrying his child. He loves you Veronica," she said before she stormed off.

"How could he do this to her," she thought.
