A/N: Guest - Thanks for the compliment! firecracker93 - Considering how hooked I've been on writing this one it'll be updated again soon. Josielynn - Yeah, Logan can't always control himself when he wants Veronica so much. Sometimes a quickie is enough though. The conversation with Dick was difficult to write, but I figured I needed to at least bring it up. Things are far from being straightened out between him and Veronica. amgonyea - Glad you liked the last chapter :)

Chapter 9

"So, you liked the last house the best?" Logan asked after they got back to the suite.

"Yeah, I guess," Veronica replied. "I liked pretty much everything about it. Plus it had a pool, which you wanted, and an amazing view."

"I like that it's in a cul-de-sac," Logan said, "since there really isn't a place to play in the backyard."

"So, are you thinking about making an offer?" Veronica asked moving to sit on the sofa.

"I don't know," Logan told her sitting down next to her. "I really liked the first house too, but it reminds me a lot of my old house."

"I think that one was my favorite," Veronica told him honestly. "I didn't want to say anything because I thought that too, but I liked that it had space to play in the back yard."

"I like that it's got a long drive," Logan said, "and we could put up a security fence."

"I think the first house is probably the best option for security reasons," Veronica told him. "I think you should talk to the realtor and put an offer on that one."

"I'll call her tomorrow," Logan said. "I thought maybe I'd talk to Dick and see what he thinks of the two we like the best first though."

Veronica moved to get off the sofa as Logan reached for the control for the TV. "Where are you going?" he asked. "I thought we were going to hang out and relax."

"I've gotta pee," she told him. "It's one of the side effects of being pregnant." She made it to the door of his bedroom and turned around. "You're just lucky that I seem to be over the other side effect."

"And what would that be?" Logan asked.

"The constant throwing up," she told him. "If I was still feeling that way you definitely wouldn't be getting laid." And with that she walked further into his room to go to the bathroom.

They hung around the suite for the rest of the afternoon talking and watching a movie. Logan had hoped Dick would come home at some point so they could discuss the houses he and Veronica had looked at that day. If he got the realtor to work fast he figured they might be able to move in and get situated before the spring semester started.

"I was thinking we could go out for dinner before I bring you home," Logan said while he was lounging on his bed watching Veronica pack.

"I'm glad you brought that up," Veronica said turning to look at him, "because I've been craving Chinese food all afternoon."

"You could've said something earlier," Logan pointed out. "We didn't have to go to that diner for lunch."

"It's fine Logan," she replied. "I really wasn't craving Chinese as badly then. For some reason though I've been thinking about it since we got back here."

"Why don't you call your dad and see if he wants to join us," Logan suggested. He wanted to talk to Veronica's dad about something and didn't want to have to go to Mars Investigations. He wanted to make sure Veronica wasn't around when he talked to Keith and dinner seemed like the perfect option considering how often Veronica had been going to the bathroom. He figured he'd have at least a little time alone with her dad to talk.

"Sure," Veronica said hesitantly. "Why do you want him to come on our date?"

"I was thinking that since we're having a baby it would be nice to get on your dad's good side," Logan told her. "I know he said he doesn't hate me, but I haven't exactly been the best boyfriend to you in his eyes. Before last night I'm pretty sure the last time he saw the two of us together was when I was at your apartment yelling at you."

Veronica a cringed at the memory of Logan telling her to back off the rape case. She realized now that she should have listened to him. She'd put herself and their unborn child in danger in order to keep her promise to Parker.

She pulled out her cell phone and called her dad. He was surprised that Veronica invited him to go out to dinner with her and Logan. The only time Logan had eaten a meal with them Veronica had been overly nervous and the dinner had ended up being awkward for all of them.

"He wants to know when and where," Veronica told Logan.

"Whenever you want and wherever you want," Logan said. He wasn't too picky about what Chinese restaurant they went to or what time they went.

"China Garden at seven," Veronica told her dad. "I love you too," she replied before hanging up with him.

"You think this dinner will be less awkward than the one at your place?" Logan asked as Veronica cuddled closer to him.

"I sure hope so," she said.

"Are you going to stop your dad every time he asks me a question like last time?" Logan asked, teasing her.

"No, but keep in mind I still live with him," Veronica said. "So please don't say anything that he'll grill me about when we get home."

"So I guess that means I shouldn't bring up the vibrator you bought to keep you company whenever I went to Mexico," Logan said.

Veronica glared at him. "How do you even know about that?" Veronica asked.

"I saw it the day you bought it," he told her. "You went to the bathroom and I went to get a piece of gum out of your purse. I saw the bag in there. I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff."

"I'm not," Veronica told him. "Parker convinced me and Mac to go into one of those sex toy stores. She hasn't gotten over the rape, but she was sexually frustrated and wanted to get a vibrator. Mac and I each bought one too so she wouldn't feel so nervous when she checked out. And if you repeat any of that to anyone, including Dick, I will not think twice about harming you in a very painful way."

"I won't tell a soul," Logan promised. He'd been wondering about Veronica's purchase. It didn't seem like she would've gone to a sex toy store and bought a vibrator alone.

"Good, I'd hate to have to harm the father of my unborn baby," she replied seriously.

"So, have you ever actually used it?" Logan asked smiling at her. He was picturing her in her bed at the apartment naked using the vibrator.

Veronica blushed and looked away from him, which told Logan she had used it.

"You don't have to be embarrassed about it," Logan told her, reaching to turn her face back towards him. "Lilly had one. I'm kind of surprised she didn't buy one for you too."

"She wanted to buy me one," Veronica said, "but I wouldn't have used it."

"So, since you do use it," Logan said, "does that mean you'd be interested in trying new things?"

"New things? It depends on what you're asking," Veronica replied.

"Like if I bought you some sexy lingerie would you wear it?" Logan asked.

At the mention of lingerie Veronica froze.

"What's wrong?" Logan asked.

"I was at a lingerie shop when I ran into Madison the other day," she told him. "I was going to buy something to wear to surprise you."

"Oh," Logan said. "You know you really don't need to spend money on that kind of stuff. I mean you already own some pretty sexy underwear."

Veronica smiled at him remembering the first time she'd worn the bra and panties she was sure he was thinking about.

"I know," Veronica said. "The answer to your question is yes though. Maybe we could go shopping together and you could pick something out for me."

"How about I buy you a bunch of stuff and you model it for me," Logan said seductively, leaning in to kiss her.

"One thing," Veronica said caving to his kiss, "for now."

"Fine, you won't be wearing whatever I buy for long anyway," Logan told her.

They started making out and things got pretty intense. They started pulling at each other's clothes. Logan pulled back when he felt Veronica's hands on his belt.

"We should stop," Logan said moving away from her and buckling his belt. He leaned over to pick up their shirts. He tossed hers on the bed and pulled his back on.

"I guess I'll be using that vibrator tonight," she said sounding dejected.

"Don't be like that," Logan said moving back onto the bed next to her. "Trust me I didn't really want to stop, but if we kept going we'd be late to meet your dad."

"Oh," Veronica said looking at the clock. "I didn't realize we'd been talking that long."

"If you decided to come back here with me after dinner you wouldn't have to even consider using the vibrator," Logan told her.

"Not tonight," Veronica told him. "I want to talk to my dad before I start sleeping over all the time."

"Have you given any more thought to moving in with me?" Logan asked, hoping she had.

"I have," she replied, "but I don't think we should rush into something like that. We have plenty of time before the baby gets here for me to move in with you. My dad's not exactly thrilled with the situation right now, so I don't want to up and move out until things settle down some."

"At least you're thinking about it," Logan said. "I didn't think you'd be ready to commit to living together this soon, but I thought I'd try my luck and see if you'd say yes."

Veronica smiled at him. "Well, I'm not saying no," she told him.

"And I can live with that," he said and then leaned in to kiss her lightly. "We should probably get going. I don't want to make your dad wait on us."

They both got off the bed and put on their shoes. Veronica grabbed her purse and they headed out of the suite. Logan noticed she'd left her overnight bag in his room but didn't say anything. He took it as a sign that she wanted to keep spending the night with him and that thought made him extremely happy.
