A/N: JeniLyn2000 - I hated that aspect too. You'll find out in this chapter who he hooked up with. Just remember things aren't always what they seem... MSVasco- I won't say that I think the whole Logan/Madison thing was ridiculous, but I will say that I absolutely didn't like it. DalWriter - There isn't a lot known about the effects of GHB on a fetus. I think it really just depends on how much the woman ingests and how long it takes for it to get out of her system. Spygrrl - Glad you like the way the story started! Having them both think about their future is going to be a major change for the two of them!

Chapter 3

Veronica woke up a little while later. Logan was looking down at her when she finally opened her eyes. She smiled at him and he leaned down to kiss her forehead. She moved to lay on his chest and wrapped her right arm around him.

"We should probably get up and get dressed," Logan said a few minutes later.

Veronica looked over at the clock and saw that it was only a little after eleven. "We've got plenty of time," she said not wanting to move from his embrace.

They laid there quietly for a little while before Veronica spoke again.

"I know I don't have a right to ask," Veronica said, "but I can't stop wondering."

"Go ahead and ask whatever you want," Logan told her, happy to have her back in his arms again.

"Were you with anyone while we were broken up?" she asked hesitantly.

Logan froze after hearing her question and she felt it. "I guess I can take that as a yes," Veronica said and rolled to lay on her back.

Logan laid on his side and looked at her. "I went to Aspen with Dick," he said. "I got drunk and fooled around with a horrible girl who meant less than nothing to me and I couldn't regret it more. Just thinking about it makes me ill."

Veronica didn't know what to say. She'd assumed Logan would hook up with someone to try and get over her, but hearing him admit it hurt.

"Still love me?" he asked when she didn't say anything.

She rolled to face him. "Yes," she said smiling at him. He was relieved to hear her say that and leaned in to kiss her.

"Logan," she said in between kisses, "we need to stop."

"Why?" he asked pulling back.

"We don't have time," she told him. "I need to eat and drink a lot of liquids before the appointment," she explained.

Logan was relieved she hadn't stopped him because of his admission.

"Do you want to order room service or go out?" he asked laying on his arm looking at her.

"Let's go out," she said. "We can order room service tonight."

"So you wanna do dinner and a movie here tonight?" he asked.

"Yeah," she replied. "And I was thinking maybe I could spend the night too."

"Your dad's out of town?" he asked.

"No, he's at the office," Veronica told him.

"So, how are you planning on staying here tonight?" he asked, suddenly filled with fear. She never spent the night when her dad was in town, unless she lied about it.

"I'm going to tell my dad the truth," Veronica said. "I thought I'd go by the office after the doctor's appointment and tell him about the baby. I figure after he knows that he won't really object to me sleeping over here."

"I'm going with you to tell your dad," Logan said forcefully. "You didn't get pregnant by yourself."

"I know you want to be there with me," she said, "but I honestly think it'll go better if you aren't there. I'm not sure how he'll react and if you're there he'll target any anger towards you, not me."

"I'm a big boy Veronica," he replied. "I can handle your dad being angry and yelling at me. No father wants their teenage daughter to tell him she's pregnant, but he might surprise you and be happy that I'm stepping up and being responsible."

"If you insist on being there when I tell my dad then I think we should wait," Veronica said. She and Logan had just gotten back together. She didn't need her dad to have a reason to hate him so soon.

"So, if you're not telling him about the baby," Logan said, "does that mean you're not spending the night?"

"I still plan on staying here tonight," she said. "I just won't tell my dad in person. I'll leave a note on the counter at the apartment when I go home to pack an overnight bag."

Logan laughed at Veronica's new plan. "I like your plan," Logan said. "Avoiding confrontation is good."

"I think so too," Veronica said and moved to get off the bed.

They got dressed and headed out to the living room.

"So where do you want to eat?" Logan asked as he was putting on his shoes.

"I was thinking Italian," Veronica told him as she tied her tennis shoes.

"So Luigi's?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, that's fine with me," Veronica answered.

They were done eating lunch faster than Veronica thought so they had some time to spare before her appointment.

"Why don't we go to Barnes & Noble," Logan suggested. "I was thinking we could check out the books about pregnancy. You know, start getting prepared."

Veronica was hesitant. She didn't want anyone they knew to see them looking at the books in that section.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Veronica told him. "I don't want to give anyone any ideas before we tell my dad."

"So, what do you want to do instead?" Logan asked.

"Actually, I was thinking we could go back to the hotel," Veronica replied.

"I don't think we have enough time for that," Logan told her.

"I wasn't talking about us having sex," Veronica explained. "I was just thinking that I have some errands I need to run after the appointment and it would be easier if I had my car at the doctor's office."

"I can drive you wherever you need to go after the appointment," Logan said, not wanting to let her out of his sight.

"Logan," Veronica sighed, getting frustrated with him.

"Fine," he said not wanting to argue with her. He put the car in reverse and backed out of the parking spot.

Logan drove back to the hotel and dropped her off at her car. He waited for her to back out of her spot and followed her to her doctor's office.

The wait to be called back was making Veronica squirm in her chair. She needed to pee badly, but had to have her bladder full for the appointment. She was so grateful when her name was finally called that she jumped out of her seat.

Logan followed her. The nurse had checked her weight before showing them to the exam room. She checked Veronica's temperature and blood pressure and added all the information to her chart. The nurse gave Veronica a cup to get a urine sample. Veronica went into the attached bathroom to give the sample while Logan waited with the nurse.

"I'm going to take this to the lab," the nurse said. "Change into the gown and Dr. London will be in shortly."

The nurse left and Veronica moved to get the gown off the exam table. She contemplated going to change in the bathroom but decided not to. Logan had seen her naked plenty of times, including earlier that day.

She set the gown back down and began to undress.

"This would be a whole lot sexier if we weren't in an exam room at your doctor's office," Logan said as he watched her undress.

Veronica ignored his comment and continued to undress. She grabbed the gown and put it on so she wouldn't feel so exposed. She set her clothes on the empty chair and moved to sit on the exam table to wait for her doctor.

"Any idea what's going to happen today?" Logan asked.

"I know she's going to take some blood and do an ultrasound," Veronica told him, "but I'm not sure what else is gonna happen."

"That took a lot longer than I thought it would," Veronica said as they made their way out of the building after making her next appointment.

"It's fine," Logan said as they headed towards their cars. "I still can't believe you got pregnant on Halloween and didn't realize it."

"I kind of had a lot going on in my life," Veronica reminded him.

"I know," Logan said putting his arm around her. "I can't believe we saw the baby today."

"It was pretty amazing," Veronica said, referring to the ultrasound that showed she was further along in the pregnancy than she thought. She was nearly ten weeks pregnant. Dr. London had told them that in another ten weeks they'd be able to find out the sex of the baby.

They stopped by her car. "What time are you coming over?" Logan asked.

"I'm not sure," Veronica told him. "In an hour or two I guess. It depends on how fast I get the stuff I need done. I'll text you when I'm done."

Logan leaned in and kissed her. "I love you," he said and moved to open her door for her. He leaned in and kissed her again before closing her door. He waited for her to back out before getting in his car to leave.

She headed to the office and decided to go in and check the messages since it appeared that her dad was currently out.

She listened to the messages on the answering machine and checked their email to see what she could get done while she was there. She hoped to be gone before her dad got back.

Her dad came in while she was looking up the last bit of information she needed for one of their cases.

"Hi sweetie," her dad said. "I didn't think you were coming in today."

"I went to the doctor this afternoon and felt better so I thought I'd stop in on my way home," she told him.

She finished up what she'd been working on and closed her laptop. She handed the files she had on her desk to her dad. He went in his office to go through them.

While he was in there Veronica packed up her stuff. "I'm heading out," she called out to her dad.

"Want me to pick up something from Luigi's on my way home?" he asked before she left.

"Umm I'm going over to Logan's tonight," she told him, "so I won't be home for dinner."

"Ok, I'll see you later tonight then," he said.

"Bye dad," Veronica said and left before he could ask her anything else.

She went to the apartment and packed her bag. She left the note on the counter telling her dad that she was spending the night with Logan. She hoped he didn't get too upset when he read it. He knew they were sleeping together, whether he wanted to admit it or not.

She headed to a local lingerie shop to pick up something special to wear that night. She'd never dressed up for Logan before but she wanted to try new things with him. She figured lingerie was a nice and safe step in their sexual relationship.

She was browsing through a rack of nighties when Madison Sinclair came out of one of the dressing rooms asking about thigh highs.

"I think I saw some between the pasties and the edible underwear," Veronica told her.

"You know, it's kind of smart of you to raid the sale rack like that," Madison said. "It's almost a waste for me to spend all this money on something that will be ripped right off of me."

"If you're trying to get Dick back, I don't think you have to work that hard," Veronica said ignoring the obvious jab Madison had made. "Seriously, a hefty bag and some duct tape, and he'd be good to go."

"Dick?" Madison scoffed. "Please."

"Oh," Veronica said, "I thought Logan mentioned you stopping by their suite."

"Oh, Logan and I hooked up in Aspen over the holidays," Madison told her. "I guess you two were split, huh? I was in town and thought he might have some free time, but, oh, well. Oh, and, as a friend, he's not so big on the one-piece numbers."

Veronica stood there stunned at what Madison had just told her. She just stood there as Madison walked off to look at more lingerie in the store.
