One Year Later (One week before Junior year Starts)

At the beeping of the alarm clock Veronica groaned then flailed her arm wildly till she connected with the off button. Logan just reached out and drew her back closer to him "You are the one who wanted to get up so early, Although...." He started kissing her neck "I can think of something to kill some time"

"Hmmm who says I didn't plan this all along" she said seductively as she straddled him then lent down to kiss him.

Afterwards they lay cuddling on their bed. "I can't believe that we are already half way through our college experience" Veronica said.

"I can't believe Dick made it through two years without being kicked out, I can't believe I actually made it onto the Dean's list last semester, and most of all I can't believe I am lucky enough to have finally convinced you to move in with me"

"You know I would have done it months ago if I wasn't for Dad. I just felt bad leaving him, though I think he had accepted it would happen. It's not like I wasn't staying here most of the time anyway. It looks like he might move in with Jennifer soon"

"That's great for him, I didn't realise they were that serious. Is she coming for dinner tomorrow? It's here this week isn't it?"

"Yep, and it's your turn to cook, so don't try to play dumb"

"Yes dear" he said submissively while his eyes sparkled.

Veronica sighed and pushed herself up "I should get up, I have to see my Advisor, he wants to go over the pictures I shot over the summer, so I can get my portfolio ready to send to Bernard Letty. Apparently he is really picky over who he lets intern with him, but if I get it, It will be great for my career. Although him hating you is the fastest way to a fashion photography career" She grimaced

"Don't worry V, he'll love you and your photos are amazing, remember how you were the only one in your class to sell all your photos at the exhibition this year"

"Well you are pretty brilliant yourself; after all you have what three stories published in the New Yorker now – pretty amazing for an undergrad"

"Yeah well, they are all about a certain girl who won't marry me – they appeal to the masses"

"You could write a story about a certain girl who decided that she might indeed marry you, if you buy her a pony"

Logan looked at her suspiciously "Are you saying what I think you're saying??"

"Yes, although I think we should hold off on the wedding for a while, maybe even till after graduation" she qualified.

Logan jumped up and ran out of the room

Veronica lay back of the bed and said to herself "Not the reaction I was expecting"

Only a few seconds later Logan ran back into the room carry a light blue box. He jumped on the bed excitedly and bounced for a moment like a kid.

"Really Ronnie, you'll marry me?" He opened the box to show a delicate diamond engagement ring.

She just kissed him softly then breathed "Yes"

Logan's hands were shaking as he tried unsuccessfully to slide the ring onto her finger. She laughed and did it herself then grabbed her camera off her side table and snapped a few pictures of him, before hugging him.

"I'm glad I get to be the one making you so happy Logan. I love you"

"I love you too Veronica"

"When did you buy the ring Logan? Are where were you hiding it?"

"About a year ago, not long after you came home, and bottom drawer of my desk in the study – You've lost your touch Mars"

"No, I'm just happy and I trust you, I'm sure I can whip out pathologically suspicious Veronica if you want a trip down memory lane"

"Nope I love you just the way you are"

"Have you been watching Bridget Jones Diary again? What did I tell you about that movie"

"That it will rot my brain, by the way shouldn't you get going – your meeting is in 45 minutes isn't it"

"Shit" Veronica jumped up and ran into the bathroom to shower and dress before stopping to give Logan a peck on the lips and running out the door yelling "How about we tell Dad tomorrow, we should talk specifics at some point too, I'll be at Hearst all day so see you tonight"

Logan crawled back under the covers and went back to sleep with a smile on his face.

The next night Logan was tossing a salad in the kitchen to go with the lasagne he had prepared that afternoon. Veronica was setting the table and she paused as she walked into the kitchen to grab the wine "Look how domesticated we are. Imagine if someone had told us this was how we would end up back when we were still in high school" Logan put his hands on her hips to pull her close and kissed her briefly "I would have wondered what I did to get so lucky".

The doorbell rang "Romantic sap" Veronica called over her shoulder as she went to let her Dad and Jennifer in.

"Hey Kiddo" Keith said "We've got some great news" He hugged Veronica.

She motioned for them to come in "Us too, Great to see you Jen"

They walked into the kitchen to greet Logan. Keith gave him a hug, the relationship between the two men had developed the point that Logan saw Keith as a father figure and Keith treated Logan as a part of the family.

"So what's this news?" Logan asked

Jen replied looking a little nervous "We're moving in together"

Veronica squealed and quickly hugged them "I knew it, I'm so happy for you both"

Jen relaxed then noticed the new addition to Veronica's hand "You're getting married?"

Veronica beamed "Yep, not for a while though. He wore me down and promised me a pony"

Keith laughed and gave her a big hug "Congratulations Honey" then he walked around the counter to give Logan a handshake and a hug "Welcome to the family son".

The four of them spent the evening talking and laughing. Logan and Veronica had tentatively decided on waiting until after graduation to get married, although Keith was sceptical that they would really wait two years. Veronica told Keith and Jen all about her potential internship with Bernard Letty, and Logan talked about the book he was writing in his spare time, as well as the work he was doing with the big brother program. Keith and Jen playfully argued about who's place they were going to move into until they decided it was getting late and was time to go home.

After they had left Veronica went to the study to work on her portfolio while Logan cleaned up the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher. He walked down to the beach afterwards for some alone time. He realised he had never been so happy. The woman he loved had agreed to marry him and between her and Keith and maybe Jennifer now he had the happy family he had always wanted. He decided he was lucky with his friends too, he had become friends with Wallace and Mac, and Dick had even joined there cosy little group, although Mac did have a tendency to hit him when his mouth got out of line. He sat there for a while thinking about how much his life had changed in just a few years when he felt Veronicas arms slide around him "Are you coming to bed my darling fiancée?" He nodded and they stood and walked back toward their home hand in hand.
