AN: I know I am horrible I haven't updated in a month! But softball has taken over, but enough with the excuses from me. The next, and most likely final chapter will be out sometime next week, I promise! And on with the story...


There she stood once again watching a casket falling into the ground. This time was not as emotional as before but she still couldn't help feeling sorry for Celeste.


Once she got home from Logan's the day Celeste died everyone was quiet. The house was quiet. Jake was quiet. Duncan was quiet. And Lilly was quiet. Veronica walked through the front door and saw Lilly sitting in disbelief on the couch. Veronica ran up to her and gave her a hug.

"I'm so sorry Lil," Veronica said as she grasped Lilly harder. For the first time in her life Lilly was speechless. Lilly's body was limp as she just fell to the ground sobbing. After about five minutes Lilly opened her mouth to speak.

"As much as I hated her, and as much as I said I didn't want her in my life, I was wrong. It's all my fault."

"Lilly, it's everyone's fault, we all saw her drinking but we never put a stop to it. We could have done so much to help her, but we didn't," Veronica sobbed as her and Lilly just sat in the living room crying.

Veronica and Lilly came to terms on Celeste's death at the wake. Lilly saw Celeste's body in the casket and she just started laughing uncontrollable. Everyone just looked at her. Veronica came up to her and took her outside.

"What is the matter with you?" Veronica questioned Lilly.

"It's just ironic, you know. She was a woman all about class and how she looked. She always yelled at me for showing off too much, or looking too sloppy, but look at her. She died by jumping off a bridge. She looks horrible, and she was the one that told me that I had no class when I told her who the father was."

Veronica, not wanting to get too pushy with Lilly just nodded her head.

"But hey, it's her loss, if she really couldn't stand that I was going to have a Mexican baby then it's all her fault that she's dead."

"Wait, hold up did you just say a Mexican baby?"

"Right, I haven't told you. The baby is Weevil's."

"What!" Veronica screamed. "How, when, why? Are you sure?"

Lilly just laughed. "When the doctor told me the approximate date of conception I went home to look at my calendar and saw that I conceived the baby when the Echoll's went on their two week family vacation. Leaving only one other possible father. Weevil."

Veronica stood there in awe, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, but she was relieved. This led Logan off the hook of being the baby's father or brother.

"Have you told him yet?" Veronica asked.

"Yeah, and to tell you the truth he seemed so excited. I've seen the way he is with his niece; he's so good with children."

"Good he better be. No one is treating my niece or nephew poorly." She rubbed Lilly's stomach, "Auntie Veronica will always protect and stick up for you, no matter what."


Two weeks had past since Celeste's funeral and Logan and Veronica spent most of it together at his house.

"So what would you like for lunch?" Logan asked Veronica as he turned off the television.

"Ice cream sundaes sound fine," Veronica said as she made her way from her couch to his.

"Haven't you had enough junk food, maybe some fruits or vegetables would be good in your diet."

"Are you calling me fat?"

"No, and can you stop putting words in my mouth."

"Fine, I'll just have to put of cherries on my sundae and that should cover my fruit quota for the day," she smiled and leaned in to kiss Logan. Logan passionately deepened the kiss and he got on top of Veronica.

"So… what…are….we…exactly?" Logan asked in between kisses.

"Huh?"

"Well, we're spending a lot of time together, we tend to make out often, and you're always undressing me with your eyes."

"Yes this is all true, well except for the whole me undressing you with my eyes, that all in your dreams."

"Oh no, in my dreams we do a whole lot more of undressing and it's not with eyes," Logan said as he moved his hands up and down Veronica's side of her body.

"Alright, alright. You can stop it now with all of that." She said as she pulled his hands off of her body and watched him pout. "Sorry, but before we get all caught up in the moment, let's discuss this topic that you brought about."

"Curse my wrong timing," Logan replied shaking his head.

"Poor baby, you'll get you chance," Logan smirked, "just wait. So now that we know that Lilly's baby isn't yours I guess we can come out and say that we are dating. I mean Lilly doesn't seem to have a problem with it, so the school shouldn't either."

"But who cares what the rest of the school thinks. I mean they think what we want them to think, we are top of the food chain there."

"Really now?"

"Yes, all four of us run that school and there is no doubt about it. So now that we decided that we are officially dating where were we doing before this conversation took place?" Logan said as he leaned in to kiss Veronica, but she was too quick and got up.

"We were about to make ice cream sundaes," she said as she turned to the kitchen, but Logan grabbed her arm and pulled her in his lap.

"I think that can wait a few minutes," he said as he pulled her in for a kiss. She just nodded.


"VERONICA," Lilly screamed, "we're going to be late for my appointment if you don't hurry up!"

"I'm coming," Veronica said as she grabbed her bag and car keys and headed out the door. They were headed to Lilly's doctor appointment. They were going to find out the sex of the baby and Lilly couldn't wait. She already had names planned out if it was a girl. She had a tough time deciding on a boy's name.

Once on the road, Lilly calmed down realizing that she was not going to be late for the appointment.

"So, do you have anything planned for Valentine's Day? I mean it is only a few days away and you and Logan have been going out for two months now?" Lilly asked dying to get details of how romantic Veronica's love life was.

"I don't know much. Logan did all of the planning. He said it's going to be really special. All I know is that he is picking me up at the house at seven and I must be ready on time."

"Wow Veronica, I'm so happy for you. I always knew there was something between you. Just by the way he looked at you. I think that's why I started going out with Weevil he looked at me the same way Logan looks at you. It makes me feel special."

"Well I'm glad that we both found someone that makes us feel special inside. Though we did have to go through some rough patches that I never want to bring up."

"You said it sister," Lilly replied as the both laughed for the rest of the trip.

Lilly came rushing out of the room and almost tripped as she reached Veronica.

"I guess this means your having a girl," Veronica said grabbing Lily in for a hug.

"Actually it's a boy. I even figured out a name. It hit me once the doctor told me. I'm going to name the baby Keith." Veronica smiled and pulled Lilly in for an even tighter hug. Tears were running down Veronica's eyes. That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for her.


Logan wouldn't cave it and tell her where they were going. He put a blindfold on her and took her hand as he led her to the limo. The limo took off and stopped.

'Oh great, what a short ride, we're still in the '09er zip, and I'm really not in the mood to go to a party where people, like Madison, are going to look at me funny.'

Logan led Veronica out of the limo and took off the blindfold.

"Logan, what is this? You couldn't tell me that we were going to your house tonight?"

"Sorry Ronnie," he said as he kissed her forehead, "just wait and find out what is in store. Look down." Veronica looked down and saw a path of red rose pedals. "Follow them," Logan instructed. She followed them from the walk way to the living room to the stairs, to the top floor, down the second stair case, through the dining room to the kitchen and out to the patio. Veronica looked up and saw stacks of chocolates, hundreds of lighted candles and dozens of roses all on display.

"Oh Logan, this is too much. It's beautiful."

Logan had ordered so much food from Luigi's that Veronica didn't know where to begin. She stuffed herself with lasagna, breadsticks, chicken marsala, and a marble cake for dessert. Logan then put on music and he and Veronica danced away.

"This was perfect Logan, thank you."

"You are very welcome," he said as kissed her forehead he then proceeded to kiss her passionately before she pulled away. Logan looked at her in confusion but she grabbed his hand and led his to his bedroom.
