Season 3 spoilers,

Takes place after the spit & eggs, goes AU after that..

Summary: Veronica has run off to LA, hiding out from everyone, because of her pregnancy, Parker and Logan are dating, but he's more or less staying because of her mental issues. He has over time become fond of her. Veronica is under a lot of stress and misses Logan, she gives birth to a babygirl way before she was due.. After 2 years, Logan finds her and discovers that he has a daughter.

I know that there'll be some complications with the name change... But concerning Leslee, I figured she properly wouldn't see it, since she is still that young that Veronica only goes by Mom or Mommy. I'm not quite sure how things work in the states, but where I come from every citizen has an id number, so with college and job, I've decided to let Veronica have the same id number under both names to make it easier for her to return to the name Veronica Mars.

Then there's the age thing with Leslee. I figured that the break-up in 30.9 happened around October, so the pregnancy must have happen around November and because of the around 7 months pregnancy and not 9 months pregnancy, which will make Leslee a June-child.

By the way, I got no beta reader, so forgive my mistakes..

CHAPTER 10

"What are you doing Mommy?" The little girl asked.

She was wearing a pink dress and white tights and her blonde hair was in small ponytails. Veronica stopped up and put the clothes she was holding down at the table. Leslee reminded her of herself as young. Leslee loved pink and if Veronica tried to make her wear anything else, the girl would start some seriously drama. She truly was the daughter of Logan.

"Come here Honey." Veronica sat down at the couch and the girl hopped onto her lap.

"We are going to the place where mommy used to live. It's called Neptune. Your granddad lives there."

The girl nodded. "Okay, Mommy."

Veronica got up and packed the last clothes down and called the Neptune Grand to confirm her reservation. She hadn't told her daddy about Leslee yet and she had decided that it was in the girl's best interest if they didn't stay at her dad's place. She smiled at her babygirl as the doorbell rang.

She hurried to get it and was surprised to see Weevil there.

"Hey girl." She gave him a big hug.

"What are you doing here?"

"Your dad was in too big a shock, so I convinced him to let me get you... So where is my little girl?"

Leslee came running.

"Uncle Eli." Weevil grabbed the little girl and hugged her.

"What's going on, V? I thought ya never would return, remember?"

---FLASHBACK—

Weevil was in LA, searching for Veronica. He thought that LA was a no go for Veronica, but had promised the Sheriff to check it out anyway. He was standing in front of UCLA's main entrance, when someone touched his back.

"What are you doing here, Weevil?"

The not very high girl standing behind him had long black hair, which was pulled back in a ponytail and she was wearing glasses. But she looked like...

"V?"

The girl nodded. And then he saw it. She was wearing a long sleeved black T-shirt and dark jeans. In one hand she was holding a big bag and in the other, she was holding a baby carriage.

"What's going on, V?"

"Eli, meet my daughter, Leslee."

Weevil looked down in the carriage and saw the smallest girl ever.

"Veronica?"

"Please don't tell them you found me. Leslee is my life now."

Weevil nodded and turned to leave.

"Eli... I really missed you... You could come and visit me, if it could be our secret?"

Weevil turned again and smiled.

"Sure thing, girl."

Keith was walking back and forward while waiting for his daughter to return.

She had not said much, merely asked if she could come home... and of course he had agreed. He knew he was supposed to be angry or something, but somehow he couldn't feel any emotions like that. He only felt relieved that his baby was coming home.

"Daddy?"

Keith turned and there in the door, she was.

"Honey."

He ran over to her and gave her a big hug. He could feel the tears pressing in his eyes.

"Why, Honey? Why did you leave?"

Veronica let go of her father and turned to the door, where she nodded and right behind her Eli appeared in the door. In his arm a little girl was fast asleep.

"This is why I left. My daughter."

Keith turned to his bedroom door and she could hear him cry. 5 minutes later he returned and pulled Veronica into another hug.

"I would have understood. I would have been there."

Veronica nodded and pulled a bit away.

"It's wasn't you who was my worst fear, it was..."

Keith nodded. "Logan."

Veronica nodded again and looked at her girl.

"Let me introduce you." Keith nodded and Veronica took the girl out of Eli's arms and sat down in the couch with her. The girl snuggled closer to her mother and Veronica shook her a bit.

"Sweetheart, wake up, we're here now." The girl opened her eyes, closed them again and then opened them up completely.

"Mommy?"

Veronica smiled.

"Sweetie, sit up and say hi to your granddad, huh?"

The little girl nodded and pulled herself up in her mother's lap. She looked at Keith and smiled.

"Grandpa?" The man nodded and the girl touched his face.

Keith looked up at Veronica. "She looks so much like you did."

Veronica nodded. "I have made reservations at the grand. I figured for Leslee's sake it would be the best." Keith nodded. "But I hope we can come everyday and see you?"

Keith nodded and looked into Veronica's eyes.

"What about your education?"

"I graduated just a few months ago as a CSI."

"What?"

"I began at another college and worked hard to graduate quickly. I had another name, but my graduation papers was under the same id number as Veronica Mars, so it wouldn't give any problems. The college I took was known for it's pregnancy policy and therefor the college was familiar with students using other names because of family issues. I just had to inform them of my real id number, and they would use without checking the name."

Keith nodded. "You went to UCLA then?"

Veronica smiled. "I never considered the possibility that you were pregnant, if I had, UCLA would have been the most obvious place."

"On my way down here I called some job applications in the area and the police force in San Diego are in search for a new CSI. I was invited for a job interview and if I get it, I'll move back to Neptune. I missed you guys so much and I figured it would be better for Leslee to be around her family. If you want to be a part of her life?"

Keith smiled as his daughter.

"Are you kidding me? Of course I'd like to be a part of her life. And yours too."

Veronica smiled and her father kissed her on her forehead.

"I think I'll like to call Wallace and Mac and tell them I'm here."

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

Veronica was pacing in her father's living room, when the doorbell rang.

She hurried over to the door and tore it up. Outside stood Mac and Wallace. Veronica hugged Mac first and then Wallace. They both hugged her back but with hesitation.

"So Veronica, what about an explanation?" Wallace said. Veronica nodded and motioned for them to sit in the couch. Her father and Eli were still sitting in the chairs.

"So I have a daughter..." Veronica said.

"Yeah, Wallace told me. It was kinda' a shock." Mac said a bit cold.

Veronica nodded. "I know. I just figured it was the best to do at the time for the sake of the baby. Her name is Leslee and she's almost one and a half. She was born the 16th June."

Wallace counted. "Wait a minute. Isn't a pregnancy supposed to last for 9 months?" Veronica nodded. Her father looked at her. Mac took her hand.

"I kinda' got pregnant in November."

"But Logan broke up with you in October, right?" Keith asked.

Veronica looked at him and smiled.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear you and I won't answer it then."

"Can we get back on track?" Wallace asked. "If you got pregnant in November and gave birth in June. Then you were pregnant for 7 months?"

Veronica nodded.

"She almost died. I gave birth too early. She almost died in the incubator, her heart did actually stop, but the doctor saved her in the last minute."

They all heard crying from Veronica's old room and Veronica got up.

"Looks like Leslee's up." She said as she left to get her daughter.

Leslee was sitting up in Veronica's old bed looking confused and crying.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Leslee looked up as her mother entered.

"Mommy."

Veronica picked her up and kissed her forehead.

"Where am I?"

"You're at my dad's house, remember Sweetheart?"

Leslee nodded and Veronica carried her into the living room again.

"Uncle Eli?" the little girl smiled and Veronica put her down, so she could go to him and Leslee climbed onto Weevil's lap.

Everyone starred at Weevil.

"Yeah, bout' that. Did I mention, I knew?"

Keith looked at him. "What? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because she forbid me to. When I saw Leslee I was sold. What can I say? I have a soft spot for kids.."

Weevil was about to continue his defending himself when the doorbell rang.

"Who's coming now?" Veronica asked and looked at the others, who looked just as confused as her. Keith got up and opened the door.

"You?" he said and moved aside and revealed Logan, who came in.

"So Ronnie... When did you plan on telling me?"
