Chapter 9

Veronica and Logan we're now sitting on his bed sitting in silence since Logan had found the pregnancy test that was in Veronica's bag neither of them didn't know what to say to one another finally someone spoke up. 'So how late are you?' Logan says in a soft voice.

Veronica closes her eyes and looks up at him. 'Almost a month and a half late.' she says feeling tears well up in her eyes. 'I started getting sick a couple days after the bus crash - I didn't really pay attention to how late I was because of all thats been going on lately.'

'So your sure that you are then?' Logan says with his voice shaking a little bit. 'I'm 95 sure I am pregnant.' Logan runs his hands though his hair and rests his elbows on his legs. 'Is it mine or - ' Logan says looking at Veronica as she shakes her head. 'Me and Duncan we never - we never had sex, well besides.. you know.'

'Oh god.' Veronica says putting her hand to her mouth once again and taking off for his bathroom while Logan gets the pregnancy test that was sitting on his night stand and walks over to the bathroom door and leans up against the edge of the doorway.

'Do you want to take the test?' He says as he holds up the box to her as she gets up from the floor and walks over to the sink and rinses her face off and rises out her mouth with tears now falling down her face and she nods her head taking the box from him and shuts the door.

Outside of the bathroom Logan hears the toilet flushing and then hears the sink running again - he might become a father, he doesn't know what to do now things just got from bad to worse in his life - he starts pacing in his room waiting for Veronica to come out of the bathroom and once he hears the door click open he rushes over to her side to find out whats going on.

'Well?' he asks anxiously. 'Calm down Logan - it takes ten minutes for the answer to show up, but I'm pretty sure we both know what the answer is to it.' she says leaving his bedroom and he follows her out the door. 'Where are you going?' he asks her.

'My stomach is jumpy - and I really do not feel like laying on a bed that you just got done having sex on not to long ago so I'm going to lay on the couch until the time is up to find out what the stick says.' but then she pauses suddenly and looks at a movie poster of his dads. 'What is it?'

'Nothing.' she says lying to him - she seen Curly's name on the poster for "The Long Haul" he was Aaron's stunt double for that movie, that's how they knew each other did Aaron put a hit out on Veronica but Curly lost his life before he got the chance to take her out?

'Logan - do me a favor and stop pacing, really it's annoying me.' Veronica says as she looks up at him with a serious look on her face. 'What do you want me to do Veronica - I'm getting nervous as the time goes by, how many more minutes do we got until we can go look?'

Veronica rolls her eyes and looks down at her watch. 'We have two minutes left - do you think you can sit down for the next two minutes without annoying me to no end?' Logan doesn't say a thing he just sits down and shakes his legs up and down watching the clock on the wall.

'Logan would you please knock it off already I can hear your knee's knocking all the way over here.' Veronica says shooting Logan a dirty look. 'Okay! it's time come on let's go find out.' Logan says getting up from his chair and grabs Veronica by her arms and drags her off to his bedroom and Veronica goes into the bathroom and goes over to where she left the test and looks down at it. 'Well what does it say?' Logan asks her - tears roll down her face. 'Pregnant.'

It was now Sunday and Veronica's quite glad for it because ever since Logan found out she was pregnant with his baby it's like he's always on her back and today Dick and the boys wanted to go surfing so she made him go - Veronica really just needed a day to herself so she called the hospital to find out if Meg was moved from intensive care so that way Veronica could go visit her and asked for the visiting hours.

'Can I help you?' Veronica says as a blond lady comes in a rush. 'I need to hire a detective.' she says with a cheery voice. 'Right place, wrong day - uh we're usually not open on Sunday's.' The girl gets a scared look on her face. 'This is kind of an emergency - I need to investigate my boyfriend, well potential fiancé now that I found a ring in his gym bag.'

Veronica gives her a confused look. 'You found it in his gym - ' she interrupts Veronica. 'I need some serious serious answers.' the girl states. 'I can write down your information for Mr. Mars for you I can make sure he gets to it first thing.' Veronica says as she gets pen and paper ready to write.

The girl sits down in front of Veronica's desk. 'His name is Colin Nevin.' she tells Veronica and then goes on about his personal life and how she wants him to be investigated because she thinks with all his free time he has on his hands she wants to know how he spends it and with who.

So Keith told her to drop her case so she could help him out with the whole Sheriff campaign thing that's been going on lately but what daddy doesn't know won't hurt him - speaking of that Veronica still has yet to tell her dad about her being pregnant, She's pretty sure once he does find out Logan will for sure be a dead man.

So Veronica met up with Julie Bloch at Java The Hut so she could go over her case with her - turns out she's really wealthy and she wants to find out if her boyfriend is really in love with her and wants to find out if he likes girls for the things they own or if they want to be with them for them.

She wants to know why he gets late night phone calls always going out and always has an excuse to back it up with - basically she just wants to find out if she's dealing with another cheater or the real deal.

So Veronica goes and follows her boyfriend around - it's as boring as it looks, watching a guy run track isn't as great as it seems at all after about the tenth lap it makes you want to just fall asleep - Veronica gets a call from Julie saying she checked his caller ID and that he's gotten twenty calls in the last six days from the same number so thats another thing Veronica has to look into.

'My dad spend the night at your place?' Veronica says closing her locker after getting her school books out for her next class. 'Yep.' Veronica smiles at him. 'He do the a.m. donut fakeout run?' Wallace pulls out a brown paper bag from his locker and waves it in her face. 'Want one?' Veronica shakes her head. 'No - I can't seem to hold much down these days.'

Veronica rolls her eyes as she sees Jackie coming up from behind Wallace and lifting her hand up and smacking Wallace's ass. 'Get back ladies he's mine!' she screams to no one in particular. 'You really are a basketball star, aren't you? I mean, I'm not just smacking the ass of some Dungeons and Dragons geek, right?'

'Oh he's a star - just ask him' Veronica says putting on a sarcastic smile as Wallace looks at her like he was undressing her with his eyes and wraps his arm around her and walks down the hallway - Veronica rolls her eyes at the two of them and proceeds to walk to her next class but then feels someone grab her by the arm and dragging her into the girls room.

'What the hell?' Veronica says as she finally gets her arm free to herself. 'Logan - what do you want now.' she says looking at the bathroom door making sure nobody's going to come barding in there. 'Don't worry I hung up an "out of order" sign kept it from the good old days.'

'What do you want Logan - seriously, I'm going to be late for class and so are you.' Veronica says looking up at a clock that was in the bathroom. 'How are you feeling today?' he asks with full concern in his voice. 'I'm feeling fine - just can't keep nothing down it seems like today.'

'You haven't ate?' he asks looking worried. 'Yes - father I ate but it just came back up once it went down the only thing that I can keep down is saltine crackers and after awhile I really cannot stand the smell of them.' Veronica says sarcastically. 'So whens your doctor's appointment?'

'Today actually - that's why I need to be getting to class because I'm only going to be able to sit though half of it - now are you done asking twenty questions or what now?' Veronica says getting frustrated with Logan - he nods his head. 'Yeah, yeah I'm done but I'm going to go with you so I'm just going to skip this school period meet me out in my car when you get excused from class.'

'Logan - really you don't have to be there.' Veronica says as she walks towards the bathroom door. 'Veronica, please let me be there I wanna be there.' Veronica rolls her eyes. 'What you don't have anything better to do - like let's say Kendall?' he looks down at the ground. 'What me and Kendall had is now done.' he says in a serious tone - Veronica nods her head. 'Okay - I'll meet you outside then.'

'Last period?' The doctor says as they draw blood out of Veronica's arm. 'Oh um - it's been about three and a half weeks I took a home test a couple days ago and it said I was pregnant, so I think I'm pretty sure I am since I can't hold to much down when I eat and my breasts are sore.' the doctor nods his head. 'Well I see - now the test results will take a little while you can come back in about a hour if you'd like to come and get them or would u prefer we tell you the results over the phone.'

'No - I wanna be here when the test results come in, I'll just go visit a friend that's here.' Veronica says rubbing her now sore arm. 'Okay well then just come back in a hour and I'll have everything done and ready for you and then we can figure out the next step to do for you.'

Veronica gets off the examination table and walks out of the the exam room and sees Logan reading a parenting magazine? is that right? she walks over to where he had been sitting and laughs causing him to close the magazine. 'Wow now thats a sight I thought I'd never see.' she crosses her arms across her chest. 'So how did everything go?' he says getting up from his chair.

'He wants us to come back in a hour to get the test results back - in a hour we find out for sure if I'm - pregnant.' Veronica walks over to an elevator and hits the "up" button. 'Where are you going?' he says walking over standing next to her. 'I'm going to the gift shop and get some flowers - and then I'm going to see Meg.'

Veronica walks down a hospital hallway trying to find Meg's hospital room number with flowers in her hand with Logan following right behind her and as soon as she hits the hallway of Meg's room she stops and looks and sees Duncan sitting here obviously surprised and happy to see but then sees Logan and his faces goes red.

'What are you two doing here - together?' Duncan says getting up from his seat standing in front of Logan and Veronica. 'Obviously - me and Veronica are here to see our dear friend Meg, you do know it is a free country right?' Duncan turns his head when he sees Meg's parents coming out of her hospital room.

'You again - why do you come here everyday? how many times do I have to tell you we never want to see you again - Now stay away from my daughter!' Meg's dad says raising his voice to Duncan. 'And you how could you come here - Don't you know that your presents is upsetting to us?' Meg's mom says looking at Veronica.

'We all care about Meg.' Duncan says to her parents. 'Mom he - .' Meg's dad interrupts her little sister Lizzie. 'If you really cared about Meg - she wouldn't of been on that bus.' Duncan walks down the hall that Veronica and Logan walked down and she sets the flowers on a chair and Veronica looked at Logan and we followed Duncan down the hall.

'Hey - do you guys want to get something to eat?' He says looking at both of them. 'We can't DK we have to do something else we'll catch up with you later if thats okay?' Duncan looks at Veronica to see her answer. 'Yeah - we have something to do, it's a case of mine.' Veronica lies. 'Oh, Okay well I guess I'll catch you guys later.'

'So your test results came back Veronica and the home test you took looks like it was right all along - you're pregnant, I would say your about twelve weeks along so your due around April fifteenth.' The doctor says as he writes down a something for Veronica. 'Here's a prescription for you - it's prenatal vitamins I want you to take these everyday and I also want you to come in here every two weeks so we can check you out so make an appointment with my secretary and she'll set everything up.' he hands Veronica the prescription paper. 'Do you got any questions for me?'

'Actually theres one - Are you going to call my father and tell him about all of this? because I really haven't broken the news to him just yet.' The doctor gets up from his chair. 'No - since your eighteen there's no reason for me to tell your father.' Veronica lets out a sigh of relief. 'When will my first ultrasound be?' he looks at his calender. 'Actually the next time you come in we'll be doing one on you - is that all you need to ask me Veronica?' she nods her head and leaves the room to go out to tell Logan the news.

'The verdict?' Logan says getting up from his seat - Veronica hands him the paper for her prenatal vitamins and looks him in the eyes. 'What do you think the verdict is?' she says breaking down crying - Logan instinctively pulls her into a hug to comfort her.

'What are we going to do Logan?' Veronica says pulling away from him looking up at him and he shakes his head. 'I have no idea Veronica - all I know is from here on out your looking at a new Logan Echolls, this baby is here for a reason and I think it's a sign for me to grow up and care about other things then just myself.'

'What brought this on?' Veronica says as they head out of the hospital together with Logan's arm wrapped around her shoulder. 'I did a lot of thinking since the day we found out you were pregnant and I've come to realize that I've been selfish about a lot of things - I hurt you Veronica when I broke up with you, I basically drove Dick and Beaver's dad out of town by sleeping with their step mom which was a big mistake by the way - to tell you the truth when I found that test on the floor it scared me but not in a bad way, in a good way and I know it shouldn't be a good thing because we don't need to be teen parents but obviously someone thinks we're ready for parenthood.'

'You mean like Lilly?'' Veronica says as she gets in his yellow xterra. 'You remember how you told me you saw Lilly the day the bus crashed? maybe you were suppose to live because you were pregnant.' Veronica looks out her window but doesn't say anything.

'Veronica you know he's right.' Veronica sees Lilly's reflection in her window - she closes her eyes and then opens them up. 'Still here - you can't get rid of my beautiful face that easy.' Lilly giggles. 'You were suppose to live for this baby - and well to put all the bad people who do people wrong behind bars of course, if your worried about your dad and Duncan's reaction - don't trust me everything will be okay and by the way don't forget you have a tennis match to watch today so tell Logan to drop you off - just remember Lilly Kane's got you back even though she's not there in person, KISSES!' Lilly says blowing a kiss toward Veronica and disappears.

'Veronica?' she looks over at Logan. 'What?' she asks. 'I've been trying to get your attention for the last five minutes - where were you just now?' he asks in a concerned voice. 'Oh - um I was just thinking, about Lilly that's all.' she looks at her watch. 'Do you think you can drop me off at school so I can pick up my car I have a case to finish up.'

'What kind of case?' Veronica gives him a look. 'Logan you know I can't say but it's nothing that I'll have to wear body armer for its just your simple finding out if your dating a cheater case so I'm not in any danger if thats what you want to know.'

'Veronica - I think you need to lay off the whole P.I thing until the baby's here.' Logan says with a serious tone. 'I know I'm just finishing up this last case it's not a big case but I just really need the money and she's paying a lot to find out if her boyfriends cheating it's just for money - so I can save up something for college if I do college now that is.' she says sadly.

'I'm sure you can do college - your due in April college doesn't start until August I'm sure we'll figure something out for both our futures, but that reminds me when we do tell your dad?' Logan says as he parks his xterra in the school parking lot. 'Actually I wanted to do it later tonight at dinner the Mars/Fennel's are having a big dinner tonight so that's when I'm going to do it - you can come if you want.' Logan nods his head and tells her he'll be there and then she leaves to go on her case to find out if someones cheating.

'Well this isn't a tennis court - what are you up to Colin.' Veronica says out loud to herself as she pulls out her camera and starts snapping pictures and then sees a lady answering the door and then snaps more pictures as the two hug and he goes into the house.

Veronica then called Julie to tell her that she had some pictures she wanted to send to her and asked if she knew anybody who lived in the house that he was at and she said she didn't know and Veronica told her that the bad news is he isn't at tennis and that the number that had been calling him twenty times within the last couple days belongs to the person who lives in that house.

Veronica walks up to the house to catch Colin in the act with the girl who he had been hugging at the front door but instead she found out that he had been taking Hebrew Lessons? Then she hears tires squealing and looks and sees that its Julie speeding her way down the street.

'Ruh-roh.' Veronica says imitating scooby-doo leaving her camera on a brick wall and runs over to where Julie had been running towards the house in curlers and what it looks like hair removal on her eyebrows and on her upper lip. 'Julie no!' Veronica screams running towards her and knocking her to the ground. 'Julie! Stand down. He's not cheating on you — he's with a rabbi.'

Julie looks at her with a confused look on her face. 'A rabbi? He's not Jewish, I'm Jewish!' Veronica looks at her with a serious look on her face. 'Are you there yet?' and then finally Julie gets what shes talking about.

After a hour and a half of arguing with Logan, Veronica finally lays in her bed for a little bit before the family dinner is about to happen - Veronica had told Logan about the stakeout and how she had to tackle a girl in curlers to stop her from going after someone who wasn't doing anything wrong in the first place.

He flipped out about how she shouldn't be tackling people because she was pregnant and she explained how she forgot for just a moment that she was and he got even madder at her saying she forgot about the baby and Veronica finally got him to calm down enough so he wouldn't be mad at her anymore and told her that he'd see her in a hour for the family dinner.

After she got off the phone with Logan she got another call from Julie wanting to know if he still loves her Veronica had no idea what she was talking about but Julie brought up the picture of the girl on his bar and she then wants to upgrade her package to gold to set up to see if he gets tempted by other girls - so it looks like Veronica's still on the case.

Family Dinner time - this night should just end great for Veronica and Logan, for her she just might have to deal with the disappointment look for the rest of her life with a possible chance of getting kicked out of the house and as for Logan he just might have to deal with a bullet in the parts he loves so much by the end of the night.

Veronica had told her dad that she would meet him and the Fennels at The Neptune Grand Restaurant and that she had some things to take care of before she came for a school project - which had been a white lie, she just needed to meet up with Logan so they could go to the restaurant.

'So how are you feeling? you feel okay enough to do this tonight?' she nods her head. 'I'm okay it's just you know my dad - if I get myself into trouble especially like this I'm pretty sure I'll be out of the house because he wont be able to look at me or he'll just look at me with that "I'm so disappointed in you" look for the rest of my life.'

'I would say you have it easy compared to me - I on the other hand might get shot by the end of the night, we're not even a couple anymore it's going to look pretty bad tonight.'

Logan says as he reaches down and turns on the radio and flipping thought radio stations trying to find something to listen to on the way to the hotel.

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby
I'm gonna keep my baby,mmm...

Veronica instantly turned off the radio when she heard that song just as he went to change the radio station - Logan gave her a confused look when she clicked off the radio. 'What'd you do that for?' she rolls her eyes. 'That song is about a girl telling her father she's pregnant.'

She crosses her arms across her chest as she finally feels the nervousness coming over her. 'Logan pull over the car.' she says in a panicked voice as he pulls over as she opens up the door to throw up at the side of the road.

Veronica and Logan arrived at the restaurant a couple minutes later so that way it wouldn't look like they were walking in together as a couple - Veronica had also informed the waiter that someone was going to arrive shorty to join the Mars dinner table.

'What's up superfly? why you look so pale?' Wallace asks Veronica with concern. 'I'm fine - I'm just worried about... Meg I tried to go visit her today but her parents basically shunned me from ever visiting her.'

Veronica says covering up herself - well she was worried about Meg she was just more worried about everybody's reaction to her and Logan's news. 'Aw - Honey I know how much she means to you I'm sure they'll let you see her sometime.' Keith says smiling at his daughter.

Alicia smiles at Veronica and looks around the table - Veronica gives her dad a look. 'Why are you two so smiley?' she says looking at her dad and Alicia. 'Well - honey me and Alicia have some news for you kids.' Darrell rolls his eyes. 'Mom we already know you two are getting married what else is there to announce.'

'Well isn't this a pleasant surprise.' Logan walks up smiling at the Mars/Fennel family. 'Veronica - don't you look nice tonight.' Veronica hears Wallace scoff. 'Your not pregnant are you mom.' Veronica chokes on the water she had been drinking as her dad and Alicia start laughing. 'No honey - it's nothing like that.' Alicia says to her son Darrell.

'Logan why don't you join us.' Alicia says pointing to an empty chair next to Veronica - Keith gave Alicia a look. 'Keith play nice - he's doing nothing wrong.' she says in a low whisper.

'So father - are you going to tell us what your big announcement that you and Alicia have in store for all of us?' Veronica says as all eyes land on the couple. 'Well we were going to wait until after dinner to announce it honey but I guess we can tell you now - Alicia and I found a house that we can all move into that we can afford so we're going to be moving soon.'

'I thought we were going to wait until after you guys were married to figure all of that out - since you know we've been scraping by on money since mom stole the reward money for finding Duncan months back.' Keith smiles at her. 'Well you see honey - I found your mom and I got most of the money back and plus going after all those bail jumpers and with Alicia we can get a house.'

'I call top bunk.' Wallace chimes in while his mom laughs. 'Actually all of you will be getting your own room - we bought a four bedroom house - anyways now that we got that cleared out of the way, Logan what brings you here tonight?' Keith asks him.

Veronica looks at him with a scared look on her face. 'Actually - dad I invited him, you see me and him we're trying to work things out and be friends again so I figured if since me and him are going to talk again that you two should be nice to each other and be civil too.' Veronica says innocently smiling up at her dad - and Wallace gives her a questionable look.

Before Keith had the chance to say something back to his daughter the waiter came by to take everybody's orders for dinner. 'I'll take a salad and um I'll have the boneless honey barbeque wings - wait make that two orders of the barbeque wings I want to take an order home for later.' Veronica says to the waiter and looks around the table and sees everybody looking at her. 'What? I had a craving for them.'

A half hour later after everybody finally finished up eating their dinners and Veronica kept getting nervous by the minute and it was beginning to show. 'Veronica - is there something wrong honey?' Keith asks in a concerned voice.

Veronica looks over at Logan and bites her lip. 'Actually there is - the real reason why I invited Logan to dinner with us tonight was to tell you all something important.' Wallace rolls his eyes. 'Please tell me the two of you aren't back together.'

'No Wallace we're not.' Logan says as he takes Veronica's hand under the table to support her with giving out the news to her family. 'Everybody this is going to change everything from here on out - me and Logan found out a couple days ago that I'm, that I'm pregnant.' she finally says letting out a sigh of relief. 'You hit that?' Darrell asked Logan being the first one to speak.

Last night went from bad to worse for both Veronica and Logan the group quickly left the restaurant to talk it out all at home but not before Logan used his Black Card to pay for everybody's dinner which made Keith from mad to furious to actually throw his money in his face.

What even made him more even mad was the fact that they weren't together but in the end they all came to an understanding - Logan will be there for Veronica though out the whole pregnancy and he'll always be there for her and the baby when they needed help - they ended the conversation early because it was getting so late out so they were going to finish it the next night.

Veronica opens up her locker a piece of paper falls out and lands on the floor so she bends over and picks it up and opens it up and reads it.

Six Months of pleasure
Nine months of pain
Boys do the fucking
Girl take the blame
Daddy Is a Bastard
Mommy is a whore
baby wouldnt be here if the condom hadnt tore.

'Yo, Martha. I heard you took a ride downtown behind the one-eighty-seven. So did you flop for the cops or did the local Wapner hook you up with some ankle bling?' Weevil says walking up to Veronica as she finishes reading the note and grabs what she needs out of her locker then closes it.

'You know the deal, cuz. Every time a kiddie cries in this town, one-time tries to put a case on me. Speaking of bling, what's up with the hoops? If I rub your head, do I get three wishes?'

Weevil eyes Veronica up and down and gets a smirk on his face. 'You rub my head and you might want to make seeing tomorrow your first wish.' Veronica looks at his earrings and remembers Lamb found an earring back when Curly was last seen. 'You need to be alone for a second?'

'Where's that disco ball you usually wear?' he laughs and looks back at his boys. 'It's probably deep in some chick's shag carpet.' she gives him a smart look. 'You think?' he nods his head. 'Yeah.' she puts on a smile. ''Cause I'm guessing more like...an evidence bag in the sheriff's office.'

Weevil gets a scared look on his face and tells his boys to leave. 'My question, and I'm betting it's the Sheriff's, is what was your earring doing at the Road Hog, in the last place Curly Moran was seen alive.' he shakes his head. 'You know, I don't even know what earring you're talkin' about, so...'

'It's kinda like the one in your yearbook photo. Hmm, sheriff's department speed dial. If this doesn't get me out of that jaywalking ticket...hello Inga.' he puts a hand on her shoulder to stop her. 'Okay.' she hangs up. 'A couple weeks ago I got this weird call saying Curly was behind the bus crash.'

'You don't know who it was?' he shakes his head. 'They just said Curly was hired by the Fitzpatrick's to get back at Cervando.' Veronica looks at him confused. 'As in the fighting Fitzpatrick's?' he nods his head. 'I think my dad put five of the Fitzpatrick's in Chino.' Veronica crosses her arms at him as he goes on with his story. 'Look, they're Irish Catholic. For every five you put away, there's ten more at home. Cervando had been going around bragging about how he hustled Liam Fitzpatrick out of a few grand down at River Styx.'

Veronica eyes him up and down not really believing him. 'That's a lot of info for an anonymous call. What'd you do?' Veronica raises and eyebrow at him. 'Nothing.' Veronica let out a scoff. 'I'm sure.' They pause for a moment in talking. 'The Fitzpatricks are meth-head lunatics, but they're not gonna kill a bus full of kids over three grand. Their problem with Cervando would have been solved in an alley with a baseball bat.' Veronica holds out her hand. 'Gimme your cell.' Weevil hands it over. 'I called the mystery guy back, already, all it does it ring.' Veronica punches in the mystery numbers into her phone. 'Look, should I be expecting a visit from Lamb? If I know I'm being brought in, I'll put on my good underwear, you know?' Veronica smirks at him. 'You should really do that anyway.'

'Logan - somebody knows.' Veronica says walking up to him at his locker. 'What who?' she shrugs her shoulders. 'They left this in my locker.' she says handing him the note that was stuffed in her locker from his expression on his face he was beyond pissed off.

'We're going to find out who put this in your locker and I'm going to make them pay.' he says handing her back the note. 'Are you okay? this didn't get to you did it?' Veronica nods her head. 'I'm fine - I'm a big girl I can handle things like this.'

He rubs his hands down her arms and brushes her hair out of her face. 'Well I'm going to go over and talk to Dick - I have to break plans I made with him I had after school today so we can go have that talk with your dad.' Veronica nods her head and he walks away.

Veronica sees Duncan walking up to her with a smile on his face and he stops for a moment in front of her. 'Did you get my little note.' and then he walks away with a smirk on his face and Veronica's face drops and then she walks off after him and pulls him into the girls bathroom and blocks the door so nobody can get in.

'What the hell is your problem Duncan?' Veronica says shoving him more in the bathroom. 'My problem? Don't you mean me finding out my ex-girlfriend cheated on me with her ex-boyfriend?' Duncan snarks back. 'Excuse me? I never cheated on you with Logan.' she shakes her head.

'Really then why are you knocked up you little slut?' Veronica's heart dropped she never heard him being ever call her something like that to her before. 'Um hello it's called I got pregnant while with Logan not while with you - there's a difference - how did you find out I was pregnant to begin with?' she eyes him up and down.

'Did you happen to forget that I live at The Neptune Grand? My parents came to have dinner with me and when I was on my way to go to the bathroom I overheard what was said at your table.' Veronica looks down at her watch. 'We'll have this conversation later I have somewhere to be right now.' she says walking out of the bathroom and towards her locker.

'No - we're going to have this conversation now you little bitch!' Duncan says shoving her up against some lockers causing Veronica to drop her bag and yelp in pain feeling the dial of someones locker dig into her back. 'I loved you! how could you do this to me?!?' he says getting up in her face.

'Get the hell away from her!' Logan says pulling Duncan away and Weevil picks up the belongings that fell out of Veronica's bag and he finds the note that Duncan had wrote her and he looks up at Veronica with those knowing eyes and Veronica just looks down in shame. 'I'll take care of him for you.' Weevil says as he pulls off Logan and tells him to go to Veronica.

So Veronica had told Logan about what went down in the bathroom with Duncan he was furious at first when he heard he called her a slut and he was more mad at the fact he had seen Duncan shoving her up against a set of lockers in front of everybody screaming at her.

Now she had to deal with Julie and her case and since Wallace was out making out with Jackie so she had no choice but to ask Logan to help her out with the case - they met up at a spot that Veronica had told him about and as soon as he seen Veronica getting out of her car he got out to meet her.

Veronica was dressed up in a short jean skirt with high heel pumps and a tank top with her hair done up in pig tails. 'Sorry I'm late - whipped cream fight at the sorority house!' Veronica says laughing and she holds out her hand. 'Can you hand me a mic?' she says as Logan eyes her up and down.

'You got some place to hide it?' he looks at her she puts it between her cleavage. 'Do you own those clothes or did you just make a stop at Dirty Co-Eds 'R' Us? - Look I know I said I'd help you out with this case but... do you really have to dress like that - I mean your pregnant.' he says checking her out.

'Haha - look this is just to try and tempt Collin into seeing if he cheats on Julie so if all goes well like I think it will no cheating will be found.' Veronica says as Logan lets the air out of her tires to finish up her case.

'Can I help you with something?' Collin says as he answers his door to a very greasy and sweaty looking Veronica. 'Please! That would be so great - Wait do you have an accent?' Veronica puts a hand on her hip. 'Yeah, I'm Scottish.' she puts a smile on her face. 'Really! Like, from Scotland? That's so awesome. Foreign men are so much sexier than regular men.'

He gives her a look. 'Oh sorry I hope I'm not bothering you it's just I got a flat and my cell phones dead and I can't find my "Triple A" card do you think you can give me a hand?' she says looking up giving him an innocent look.

They go outside to her car and Veronica leans up against her car with a elbow propped up on the roof of her car twisting her hair with her index finger. 'I tried real hard, I just couldn't get the nuts off. I think they're just...too tight. But, I did just put lotion all over my hands so they're kinda slippery.'

Veronica gets down to his eye level and smiles at him and drops a car tool down on the ground explaining to him. 'You did know you have to jack the car up first?' he looks at her. 'Oh yeah do you have a jack?' Veronica gets up from the ground and looks around to see Logan with a video camera filming from behind another car. 'Oh yeah you got um...' Collin says pointing to her forehead where a grease spot was. 'Oh how cute are you?' smiling at him taking a handkerchief from him and bends down to the mirror on her car sticking her butt out to wipe the grease spot off.

Logan feels a bit of anger coming over him when he sees that Collin had been looking at Veronica's ass when she bent over to take the grease mark off of her forehead - but all he could do was watch.

They head back into the house to call a tow truck and so Veronica could get on Collin's computer so she could turn in her "mid-term paper" that had been due in about ten minutes luckily he could hear everything that was being said in the house. 'Oh! My girlfriend Paige would love this place. She's not my girl friend girlfriend, she's just my friend. I mean, we share a dorm room, so...whatever, it's college, right? Oh, she would really love this place. I mean, who wouldn't want to wake up this view? You should really let me know if you ever want to party with us. We're fun. Double the fun.' Veronica flirts.

'Oh, I don't have to many parties. I'm a pretty mellow guy.' he says looking up at her sitting on the couch. 'Really? You seem kind of...I don't know, wild to me, like a caged animal kind of thing.' Veronica sits on the arm of the couch crossing her legs looking down at him. 'You'd have to ask my girlfriend about that. My actual girlfriend. We're not just dormmates, if you get my drift.'

'Can I ask you something?' he nods his head. 'What about me? I mean if the range where to pretty to drop dead gorgeous where would I fall under?' Veronica slides onto the couch as he moves over away from her. 'You'd fall under "You know she's gorgeous but likes to hear it anyway".' he points towards the computer. 'Don't forget that mid-term.'

Veronica gets on his laptop and puts in a disc to copy all the files in his computer and makes small talk with him about all the movie posters in the house and found out that it isn't his house that he's just house sitting for Nickolas Cage and then the doorbell rings and he goes to answer it and she silently goes to the ledge and sees that it's Logan behind the door and she mouths to stall.

'Uh - Hi would you like to help the hungry, starving children of the... world.' Veronica mouths what down to him using hand gestures. 'I'm sorry are you selling something?' Collin asks confused. 'Yes! I am. I'm selling, um...pens and...candy.' Logan says as he sees Veronica hold up her index finger to give her another minute to go get the disc out of his laptop. 'I'll take a couple of boxes of candy.'

'All I got is this box of Ay, Chihuahuas.' Collin laughs. 'That box is open.' Logan points to his bag. 'You want a couple pens?' he reaches into his bag as Veronica rushes out of the door saying she e-mailed the paper and her and Logan take off before he could say anything else.

The next day Veronica called up Julie and told her that he was an all round good guy his friends and ex girlfriends spoke highly of him and that the house he had been living in wasn't his and neither was the car he had been driving and that he was house sitting for Nickolas Cage and that also he knew she had been wealthy because he did some background research on her and then Keith walked in obviously mad that she had taken the case behind his back.

Veronica had been making him mad the last few days because of the whole factor she had been pregnant the talk that the three of them had last night didn't go so well as Veronica thought it would - he got mad because they didn't have room in the new house for a baby so he blamed Veronica for not being smart about her choices when it came to sex.

And with this case she took behind his back was just making matters worse she could tell from the look on his face that he had been furious with her like the more the days past with him knowing she was pregnant the more madder he got at her and with the choices she had been making in life.

He got so mad to the point he didn't want me doing any more cases for him for a while and didn't want to hear a word she had to say about needing the money for the baby for when it came - and then he snapped and told her he wanted her out of the house for a while until he cooled down and got used to the fact he was going to be a grandfather.

Veronica takes a couple deep breaths as she reaches the door and closes her eyes and leans over and pushes in the door bell and steps back from it when hearing footsteps approaching towards the door to answer.

'Veronica - what are you doing here? why are you crying is everything okay? is the baby okay?' Logan says answering his door and Veronica shakes her head. 'No - the baby's fine... my - my dad he wants me out of the house for a while we got into a huge fight and I guess he snapped so I was wondering do you think I could stay with you until everything cools down with me and my dad?'

Logan nods his head. 'Yeah of course - is your bag in the car?' she looks back at her car and turns towards to face him again and nods. 'Okay well come in and make yourself at home and I'll go out and get your bag.' he runs a hand down her arm and then walks out of the house to her car.

Veronica sits down and gets out her laptop and logs into her prying eyes account and puts the number in that Weevil had given her that the person had called from the night he got tipped off that Curly had been the one behind the bus crash.

'Oh my god.' her mouth drops - Aaron Echolls it came from this house. 'Veronica is everything okay?' she nods her head. 'Um - yeah... Logan can I ask you something?' she says looking at him when he joins her on the couch. 'Sure.'

'Saturday, September 24th, there was a two-minute and twenty-three-second phone call on Weevil's cell phone from your house. The caller claimed that Curly Moran was responsible for the bus crash — the same Curly Moran who's friends with your dad. Any explanation?' she says looking into his eyes to wait for an answer.

'I have no idea who Curly Moran is and that night hmm I think that was the night of my "Life's Short" party but I have no clue why it would show up on Weevil's phone because he did crash my party that night and so did the cops - why are you accusing me of something?' he crosses his arms at her. 'No - actually I'm not I'm just trying to figure out the connection me and Weevil have with Curly and why my name was found on his dead body.' There goes staying out of the P.I business for awhile now to find out why and who called Weevil that night to tip him off.
