A/N: rebelangel566 - It was totally a Logan move, spur of the moment! It's not really mean, but it's not going to happen because of something in an upcoming chapter. palmbeach - Glad you liked it. I spontaneously came up with him proposing that way!

Chapter 12

A few weeks later they were back at school. Logan hadn't been able to propose to Veronica properly. She hadn't spent the night at his place since the night he first asked her. Business had picked up at her dad's office and she got busy helping him out. Logan wasn't thrilled with her working there, but didn't want to get in a fight over it with her. He figured her dad wouldn't let her work on any cases that were dangerous.

"Hey," Logan said joining Veronica at a table in the cafeteria. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hi," she replied not looking up from her laptop.

"So, I haven't seen much of you lately," Logan said, kind of hoping she'd stop whatever it was she was doing and look at him.

"I'm sorry," Veronica told him. "I've been working on a case for my dad and it's been taking a lot of my time." She stopped working and looked at him. She could tell that he wasn't happy and decided to make it up to him. "How about I spend the night at your place tonight," she suggested. "I promise you'll have me all to yourself."

"I'd like that," Logan said, "but I kind of have plans for tonight already."

"Oh," Veronica said a little disappointed.

"The Pi Sigs are throwing a back to school bash and I told Dick I'd go," Logan explained.

"It's fine," Veronica said, trying to hide the sadness in her voice.

"I'd invite you to go, but I kind of figured you wouldn't want to go," Logan said trying to make her feel better. "I can cut out early."

"You don't have to do that," Veronica said focusing back on her laptop. "I have some stuff I need to get done at the office while my dad's out of town anyway."

"Your dad's not home?" Logan asked. He hated to think of her home alone, especially now that she was pregnant.

"Yeah, he flew up to Seattle for something," Veronica told him.

"I hate you being all alone in the apartment," Logan told her.

"I'm not going to be alone," Veronica told him. "I've always got Backup."

"Yeah, well Backup can't help you if something happens and you can't get to your phone," Logan remarked a little heated.

"Stop freaking out," Veronica said looking over at him. "Nothing's going to happen."

Logan was about to say something about trouble following her around when Mac and Parker joined them at the table.

"Oh just the woman I was hoping I'd run into," Veronica said noticing Mac.

"Uh ok," Mac said as she and Parker sat down.

"Can you come by the office later and help me with something?" Veronica asked.

"Yeah, I've got some free time," Mac replied. "What do you need my help with?"

"Getting some records that I can't seem to get my hands on," Veronica told her closing her laptop and putting it in her bag.

"That shouldn't take too long," Mac said.

Veronica glanced at her phone and noticed the time. "I've got a class to get to," she said moving to get up. "I'll call you later Mac to let you know what time to come by."

"Ok," Mac replied.

"I'll walk you to your class," Logan said moving to get up.

"No, you stay and get something to eat," Veronica told him. She gave him a quick kiss and then headed out of the cafeteria.


"Thanks for helping Mac," Veronica said. "I really appreciate it."

"It was a piece of cake," Mac replied packing up her laptop. "At least now you have proof that guy is paying off the doctor."

"I'm sure my dad will be thrilled to have this when he gets back," Veronica told her. She moved to put the printouts in a folder and then brought it into her dad's office.

"So, since that didn't take long at all, do you want to go to that Pi Sig party?" Mac asked as she picked up her bag off the sofa.

"I would, but I'm waiting for someone," Veronica replied.

"Cheating on Logan?" Mac asked teasingly.

"We both know that will never happen," Veronica told her.

"If you two are busy I can come back another time," Weevil said as he entered the office.

Mac glanced between the two of them. She wasn't sure she wanted to know what Veronica needed Weevil's help with, so she decided it was best for her to leave.

"I'll see you tomorrow in class," Mac said as she left.

"So, what do you need my help with this time?" Weevil asked, plopping down on the sofa.

"Remember when you told me about how you stole some guy's car and had it crushed?" Veronica asked.

"Yeah…" Weevil said remembering back on being Veronica's visual aid for her criminology presentation. "What, you want me to get my hands on Richie Rich's car and crush it for you?"

"No, why would you ask that?" Veronica wanted to know.

"I heard the two of you broke up," Weevil explained.

"While that was true," Veronica said, "it's not anymore. We're back together. It's not his car I want crushed."

"What's the deal with you and Echolls? The two of you breakup almost as much as him and Lilly did," Weevil pointed out.

"We've had our issues," Veronica said, "but we kind of have a reason to stay together, hopefully forever, now."

"What's the reason?" Weevil was almost scared to ask.

"I'm pregnant," Veronica told him.

"Whoa!" Weevil exclaimed. He was not expecting her to say that. He thought she was smarter than to get knocked up.

"So, back that favor I was talking about," Veronica said after a minute of silence.

"Yeah, if it's not Logan's car whose is it?" Weevil asked, wondering who was on Veronica's bad side now.

"Madison Sinclair," Veronica told him reaching for a piece of paper she had on her desk. She leaned over and handed it to him. "A little Mercedes at this address. You can't miss it. The plates read 'gotzmine'."

"Now, this has nothing to do with you and Logan, right?" Weevil asked.

"Let's just say that she has this coming to her and leave it at that," Veronica said, not wanting to get into what had happened again. Explaining what had gone down would just made her sick to her stomach, even if it turned out what Madison had told her was a lie.

"'Gotzmine' huh? Yeah. I have been wondering if I still have the touch. And, uh, it's gonna cost you five hundred. That is the going rate, isn't it?" Weevil said.

"Yeah," Veronica replied. "It's so worth it after what she put me through."

Weevil wanted to ask, but he knew better. If Veronica wanted him to know what had happened to piss her off this much she would've divulged the information to him already.

"I'll call you with the details," Weevil said getting up from the sofa to leave. He pauses when he gets to the door and looks back at Veronica for a second, unnerving her.

"What?" Veronica asks.

"I just can't believe you and Echolls are reproducing," Weevil said grinning at her.

Veronica laughed as Weevil finally left. She checked the time as she put away the last few things she had sitting on her desk. She put her laptop in her bag and headed out. She figured she'd take Logan up on his offer to spend the night at his place, but first she had to go to the apartment and check on Backup.


Logan stumbled into the house around one. He and Dick had been drinking all night and ended up calling a cab to take them home. Dick had driven them over there, so he just left his truck at the frat house for the night.

"Dude, we totally need to do that more often," Dick said as Logan locked up for the night.

"Yeah, it was nice hanging out at the house," Logan commented. "Although I don't think Veronica would appreciate me going over there without her very often."

"You are so whipped," Dick said as he headed towards his room.

"See you tomorrow," Logan said before heading up to his bedroom.

To say Logan was surprised to find Veronica in his bed was an understatement. The way she'd acted earlier made it seem like she didn't want to spend time with him, which hurt. He hated that they hadn't spent a single night together in weeks.

He silently striped and slipped into bed with Veronica, fighting between not wanting to wake her and wanting to wake her. He knew she needed her sleep, but he also wanted to be intimate with her. They'd had sex a couple times during the last couple of weeks, but it was always fast. He wanted them to be able to take their time. He wanted to make love to her.

"Mmm," Veronica said when she felt the bed move. She turned over to see Logan.

"Hey babe," he said quietly. "I didn't mean to wake you. Go back to sleep."

"No, it's fine," Veronica assured him. "I wanted to stay up and wait for you, but I wasn't sure what time you'd be home."

"You should've called or texted me," Logan said. "I would've come home sooner if I'd known there'd be a hot blonde waiting in bed for me."

Veronica laughed hearing that. "Pretty soon you'll have a hot blonde waiting in your bed every night," Veronica told him.

"So, does that mean you're moving in with me?" Logan asked wondering if she'd changed her mind.

"Of course I'm going to be moving in," Veronica told him. "I can't exactly stay living with my dad after we get married."

"Oh," Logan said feeling deflated. He thought she'd meant she was going to move in soon, not wait until they got married, whenever that might be.

"Don't sound so disappointed," Veronica said moving closer to him. "I just want to wait a little longer. If we're not married in a few months I'll still move in. I want to be with you Logan, for the rest of my life. I love you."

After hearing that Logan felt like his heart was going to burst. It took a lot for Veronica to tell him she loved him, but every time she did it made his heart swell.

He leaned over to kiss her then.

"So," Veronica said as his lips trailed down to her neck, "is this the part where you make love to me?"

"Absolutely," Logan said pulling back to look at her face in the moonlight that was streaming in through the skylight.

Soon they were both in a frenzy removing their remaining clothes and tossing them over the edge of the bed to the floor.

"I need you Logan," Veronica moaned out, pushing him onto his back and straddling him.

"You've got me," Logan told her, looking up at the angel currently hovering over him.

She slowly eased down on him after positioning him at her center and began to slowly to ride him.

Logan looked over her body which was backlit by the moonlight. His eyes moved from hers down her body to where they were joined. He noticed the baby bump that was forming and moved his hands from her hips to caress that area. Veronica, who'd been leaning back on his thighs, looked to see what he was doing.

"That's our baby in there," he said in awe looking back up at her while keeping his hands on her stomach.

He felt so much love in that moment. He moved his hands to her back and sat up causing her to grip his shoulders for support. He leaned in and kissed her, holding her body tight to his as she continued to rock with him still inside of her.

"I love you so much," Logan said after kissing his way to her ear.

The change in Logan's position was incredible for Veronica. It felt like he'd gone deeper than ever before at that angle and she loved it.

"I love you too," Veronica moaned out as he kissed back down to her breasts.

He could feel his orgasm approaching and reached between the two of them to rub her clit. She began grinding against him as he did it and it wasn't very long before she was going over the edge of her orgasm and taking him with her.

He collapsed back onto the bed, taking her with him, a few seconds after his orgasm subsided.

"I'm so glad you decided to come over tonight," Logan said once he regained the ability to talk.

"Me too," Veronica said before moving off of him. He reached over to get a few tissues to clean up so they could cuddle.

He pulled Veronica into his arms and she laid her head on his chest. She was out like a light in no time at all but he stayed up just watching her sleep for a while. He couldn't believe how lucky he'd gotten. He had the girl he'd been in love with for most of his life and she was carrying their child. He decided that he'd put off proposing properly for long enough. The next morning he'd make her breakfast in bed and surprise her with the ring that had been sitting in his dresser for far too long.
