A/N: This is a pretty emotional chapter. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up! Spygrrl - Thanks for your review! I couldn't just make everything perfect, obviously Logan and Veronica still have things to sort out. I really liked writing the conversation with her dad. And you're right, his reaction could have gone either way! Guests - Glad you both enjoyed the previous chapter :)

Chapter 8

Later that night they were sitting in the living room of the suite watching a movie when Dick came in.

"I thought you two were broken up," Dick said when he saw the two of them cuddled together. "Couldn't find another rich guy to screw around with Ronnie?"

"Dick," Logan said in a deadly serious voice.

"What dude?" he replied. "I thought you were through with her. I should've guessed she was the reason you abandoned me in Aspen."

"I made a mistake breaking up with Veronica," Logan told him. "We're back together and you need to get used to her being around because she's not going anywhere."

"Is she like moving in here?" Dick asked.

"No, actually I'm going to be moving out soon," Logan said, leaving Dick stunned.

"What!" Dick exclaimed. "You're moving out of the hotel to go shack up with Ronnie?"

"It's not like that," Logan told him. Veronica turned off the movie once she realized they weren't going to be resuming it any time soon.

"Then what is it like?" Dick asked feeling like his best friend was abandoning him.

Logan looked at Veronica for permission to tell Dick what was going on. "Go ahead and tell him," Veronica said.

"Tell me what?" Dick asked looking at the two of them and suddenly coming up with a thought that disturbed him. "Please don't tell me you knocked Ronnie up."

"I prefer to think of it as I conceived a child out of love with her," Logan said smiling at Veronica.

"She probably got pregnant on purpose," Dick said. "The way you two were going she probably figured that was the only way you'd stay with her."

"Stop talking about Veronica like that!" Logan yelled at him. He was fed up with the condescending remarks Dick was making. He knew that while Veronica wasn't showing it, what Dick said affected her and in turn affected their baby. "She didn't get pregnant on purpose," Logan said through clenched teeth. "She was on antibiotics around Halloween and it counteracted the pill."

Dick didn't know what to say to that. He couldn't believe the two of them were having a kid. Their relationship had been on rocky ground and when Logan told him they'd broken up he said he was sorry to hear it but he really wasn't. Veronica had been making Logan miserable, so he had been glad she'd be out of his life.

Veronica just sat there. She wasn't about to get involved in their conversation, even it was about her.

"Dude, I can't believe you stopped using condoms," Dick said a little shocked at what Logan had just told him. "You should always suit up."

"Not that I need to explain this to you," Logan said, "but Veronica and I talked about it before I stopped using them. She wanted to keep using them, but I told her we'd be fine with just the pill. So, if you really think about it, it's my fault she got pregnant. Not the other way around."

"So what, are you two gonna get married and move in together to raise the rugrat?" Dick asked.

"We haven't decided what we want to do," Logan told him. "I just know that I'm going to start looking for a house. Regardless of what we end up doing, I'm going to be there for my kid and I don't want him or her being raised in a hotel, even if it ends up being part time."

"I think I'm gonna go crash at the Pi Sig house," Dick said wanting to get away from the fight that he figured would happen if he stayed. He moved to go into his bedroom to pack a bag.

"Well, that went well," Veronica said once Dick left the room. "It's nice to know that your best friend thinks so little of me."

"I'm sorry about that," Logan said leaning in to kiss her forehead. "Dick's just overprotective of the people he cares about. He'll come around, just give him some time."

Dick came back out of his room a few minutes later with a duffle bag in his hands. "Let me know when you want to move so I can find somewhere else to stay," Dick said before heading towards the door.

"I'm not kicking you out," Logan called out to him.

"Really?" he asked. "Because it sure seems that way to me."

"I was going to ask you if you wanted to move in with me," Logan told him. "Just because Veronica and I are having a baby doesn't mean I'm going to push you out of my life. We're like brothers dude."

Dick froze at the mention of the word brothers. It made him think about Cassidy, which was something he tried to avoid at all costs. He dropped the bag and Logan could tell things were about to get ugly, well uglier actually.

"I had a brother!" Dick yelled, turning back to look at them. "Tell me, did either of you try to stop him from jumping off the fucking roof?! He was the only family I had left and he killed himself."

Dick broke down crying after he finished. He collapsed to the floor. Veronica had never seen him like that before and was unsure what to do.

"Logan begged him not to jump," Veronica told him.

"You did?" Dick asked looking over at his friend through the tears.

"Yeah, man," Logan said. "I mean I hated what he did to Veronica and all those other people, but he was your brother. He was practically like my little brother. I didn't want him to kill himself."

Dick continued to cry as he listened to Logan recount what had gone down on the roof. He hadn't asked before, but he was glad he had now. He needed to know that his best friend had tried to stop his little brother. It helped to know that Logan thought of him as a little brother and wanted to help him despite what he had done to the person Logan loved more than anything else in his life.

"I can't believe he did it," Dick cried out. "I should have known something was wrong with him. I should've been able to help him."

Logan moved from the couch to go console his best friend. The last time he'd seen Dick like this he hadn't wanted to talk. Logan was glad they were getting everything out in the open. Dick needed to let go of his guilt in order to move on with his life.

Dick managed to calm down and Logan convinced him to say and watch The Big Lebowski with them. Veronica fell asleep near the end and Logan told Dick he was going to take her to bed.

"Night dude," Dick said as he moved to life Veronica. "And thanks for, well you know."

"Anytime," Logan said as he stood with Veronica in his arms. "I meant what I said about you moving in with me."

"I'll think about it," Dick said. He wasn't sure he wanted to move in with Logan if Veronica ended up moving in with him. He didn't want to be in the middle of their happy little family.

Veronica woke up when Logan placed her on the bed. They both changed into pajamas and then slipped under the covers. Logan pulled Veronica into his arms.

"I love that I get to fall asleep with you in my arms again," he whispered in her ear.

"Me too," she replied.

They drifted off a little bit later and had a peaceful night of uninterrupted sleep, something both of them needed.

Logan woke up before Veronica the next morning and laid there just staring at her sleeping form.

"Mmm morning," she said when she opened her eyes and saw that he was awake.

"Morning," Logan replied, leaning down to kiss her.

"How long have you been up?" she asked.

"A little while," Logan said smiling at her.

Veronica moved to get out of the bed and Logan moved to stop here. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked.

"I need to brush my teeth," she told him. "Plus, if you were serious about house hunting, we can't stay in bed all day."

"But I like spending the day in bed with you," Logan said seductively.

"Raincheck," Veronica told him, finally managing to pull out of his grasp.

She grabbed her bathroom bag from her overnight bag and padded into the bathroom. While she was brushing her teeth Logan came in and went to pee.

"You couldn't have waited for me to finish?" Veronica asked after spitting out a mouthful of toothpaste.

"It's nothing you haven't seen before," Logan said glancing over at her. When he was done he moved over to the sink to wash his hands and then brush his teeth.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower," Veronica said before going back to the bedroom to grab the clothes she planned to wear that day.

When she got back Logan was leaning against the counter waiting for her. She set her clothes on the counter and moved to go turn on the water in the shower when Logan reached out and grabbed her around the waist.

"Logan!" Veronica shrieked.

He didn't respond to her, he just pulled her close to his body. Her back was to pressed closely against his front and she could feel his arousal through their pajamas pants. He moved her hair and tossed it over her right shoulder. He leaned in to kiss her neck and slowly moved the kisses towards her ear.

"I want you," Logan whispered a sultry tone to his voice.

Veronica melted in his arms. She let herself surrender to his touch, forgetting all about taking a shower.

He moved to stand in front on her and leaned in to kiss her luscious lips. He reached down and placed his hands on her ass to lift her up. She responded by wrapping her legs around his waist. He maneuvered them to the counter and set her down close to the edge, never letting his lips part from hers. He moved his hands to push her pajama pants and panties down and she lifted her ass off the counter to help him.

She reached for his hips and pushed his pants down. His thick and throbbing cock stopped her progress when the waistband got caught on the tip. She reached between them to pull the material down and teased him by touching the tip lightly with her fingertips. Logan moaned out in pleasure when she did that.

Logan moved his right hand to her center and let his middle finger slip between her folds. "Mmm, you're so wet," Logan managed to get out between kisses.

Veronica guided his cock to her entrance and seconds later he was thrusting into her. He fucked her quick and hard. The feel of being with her again was overwhelming and he knew he wouldn't last long. He came minutes later.

"I'll make it up to you," Logan said when they were done, after apologizing for cumming so fast.

"I know," Veronica replied. Logan always managed to take care of her when they'd had sex in the past, so she knew he'd keep his word.

"I guess we better get cleaned up," Logan said moving away from her to strip off the rest of his clothes.

Veronica hopped off the counter and finished getting undressed as Logan reached into the shower to turn the water on.

"No funny business," she told him as she walked towards the stall. "We've got things to do today."

Logan laughed and followed her into the shower. And while they didn't have sex again, he did help throughly clean her causing her to have a massive orgasm.
