In honor of someone favoriting this story today, I've decided to post the next chapter. I might actually start working on all my stories again, now that the show is being revived!

Chapter 16

Mac and Dick had talked for a while. They were in the living room playing a video game when Logan and Veronica went back downstairs.

"So," Veronica said sitting down on one of the oversized chairs with Logan, "what's going on with the two of you?"

Dick paused the game and looked over at Veronica. He wasn't sure what Mac wanted them to know, so he let her talk.

"Um we haven't really decided anything," Mac told her. "We're just going to keep hanging out and see what happens."

"So basically you're dating without labeling your relationship as being a couple," Veronica stated.

"I guess," Mac replied, not really wanting to talk about what was going on between her and Dick.

"I was thinking of ordering Chinese takeout for dinner," Logan said changing the subject. "Are you planning on hanging out for a while Mac?"

"Of course she's staying," Dick said like it was the most obvious thing.

"Yeah, I'm gonna hang out for a while," Mac told Logan.

"So, I guess I should ask what you eat Mac," Logan said. "I'm not really sure what Chinese foods are vegan and all."

"I tend to order the vegetable lo mein and the wonton soup," Mac told him.

"Got it," Logan said. "Dick what do you want?"

"Mandarin chicken and pork lo mein," Dick told him.

"Ok, well I think Veronica and I are gonna go hang out by the pool for a little while before I order dinner," Logan said getting up from the chair, offering Veronica his hand.

Dick and Mac resumed their video game as Logan and Veronica headed out the back door.

Veronica and Logan walked around the pool and settled on one of the double lounge chairs. Veronica laid her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her.

"How do you feel about Mac possibly dating Dick?" Logan asked.

"I'm not really sure," Veronica told him. "I mean Dick has been a lot different lately and Mac hasn't dated anyone since what happened with Cassidy."

"They have been hanging out a lot more lately," Logan pointed out. He hadn't really paid much attention but he had notice Mac over at the house various times since they moved in.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens with them," Veronica said. "I hope Dick knows that if he hurts Mac I'm going to make him wish he'd never developed feelings for her."

"Babe, I don't think you'll have to worry about that," Logan said. "I've never seen Dick act like that. I'm pretty sure that was the first time he's ever told a woman he loves her."

"I guess he really has changed," Veronica said.

They stopped talking and just laid there for a while enjoying being with each other after everything that had happened.

Mac had hung around after they ate dinner. The four of them had cuddled up in the living room and watched a movie. Dick had sneakily put his arm around Mac not long after the movie had started. Mac hadn't said anything, but she did move to lean against him as the movie continued, which both Logan and Veronica noticed.

Logan and Veronica had said goodbye to Mac before they headed back upstairs to get ready for bed.

Logan took a quick shower and put on a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. When he exited the bathroom Veronica was lounging on his bed staring blankly at the TV.

Logan noticed she had the news on and quickly figured out why she looked catatonic. They were talking about Mercer. Apparently someone did a number on him again in jail. Once he'd been taken back to the station the judge had revoked his bail and remanded him to the county jail until his trial, whenever that would be.

Logan moved to sit on the bed next to Veronica and pulled her into his arms. He reached for the remote control and turned off the TV.

"You're gonna be ok," Logan told her. "We're going to be ok."

"I know," Veronica said. "I just want to be able to put what happened behind us."

She had cried a little bit, but it wasn't anything like her previous crying spells where she couldn't seem to stop. She'd calmed down, and Logan thought she might have fallen asleep. When he moved to lay her down he saw that she wasn't.

Veronica pulled him down on top of her and kissed him. Things started to get intense, and Logan pulled back. He thought it was too soon for them to be doing anything sexual.

"I want us to make love," Veronica told him. "If we don't even try we might never get passed what happened."

"Promise me you'll tell me to stop if you start to feel uncomfortable," Logan pleaded.

"I promise," Veronica assured him.

He started to kiss her again and moved to slip his hand up her shirt. He slowly moved his left hand up past her ribcage to her right breast.

"I love you Veronica," Logan said between kisses. "I love you so much."

Veronica's hands had found their way under his shirt and started to push it up. Logan moved back to kneel on the bed and pulled it off over his head. He tossed it over the edge of the bed, starting a pile where all their clothes would end up eventually.

Veronica leaned up and let Logan pull the tank top she was wearing over her head. He tossed it over the edge of the bed before moving his hands to cup her growing breasts. Veronica hissed when he squeezed them so he quickly removed his hands.

"They're tender," Veronica told him. "I guess it's one of the side effects of being pregnant."

"They look bigger," Logan commented.

"You can touch them," Veronica told him. "You just need to be gentle."

Logan tentatively reached to cup them again. This time he didn't squeeze them. He ran his thumbs over her nipples and she moaned out in pleasure. He moved his hands to the bed to prop himself above her before leaning down to kiss her. He made sure he didn't put his weight on her. He didn't want to hurt the baby.

He began to kiss down to her neck and sucked on her pulse point when he finally reached it. He loved the little moans that she always made when he did that. He continued kissing down her body. When he got to the baby bump he kissed it and then pulled back to look down at her.

"I love watching our baby grow inside you," Logan said leaning in to kiss her on the lips.

"You plan on saying that throughout the rest of the pregnancy?" Veronica asked, a smile on her face.

"Yep," Logan told her, smiling back at her. "And if we have any other kids in the future I'll tell you then too."

"Let's just focus on this baby," Veronica said. "If, and I do mean IF, we decide to have another kid it won't be for at least a few years. Once I pop this kid out we're going to have to be more careful about birth control."

"I'm fine with that," Logan told her. "Besides I think your dad will hurt me if I get you pregnant again before you graduate."

He leaned in to kiss her quickly before moving down on the bed to push down her pajama pants. Veronica lifted her hips to help him and told him to take off her underwear too.

"Impatient much?" Logan teased.

"Do you have any idea how horny I am because of this pregnancy?" Veronica asked. "I've been thinking about being with you again since the rape happened. In fact, I even thought about using my vibrator the other night."

Logan groaned when she said that. "Ugh, now I'm picturing you laying in your bed at the apartment using it," Logan said.

"It's not as good as the real thing," Veronica said moving to cup Logan through his pajama pants.

"Fuck," Logan moaned out at her touch.

Veronica moved her hands to his hips and pushed at his pajama pants. Logan moved off the bed and let them fall to the ground. He moved back onto the bed and moved to lay on his side of the bed. He laid on his pillows and turned to face Veronica.

"I thought you could be on top," he told her. "I want you to be in control of what we do."

Veronica smiled at him. He was being so patient with her. She moved over to him and straddled his lower half.

She leaned down and kissed him. "I love you," she said after pulling back to look at him. "I love you so much."

"I love you too babe," Logan replied.

Veronica moved so he was positioned at her center and slowly sank down on him. He moaned out in pleasure at the feeling of being inside her again. She started moving up and down slowly, keeping her eyes locked on Logan's. She wanted to see him while they made love, so she had intentionally left the lamp on and Logan hadn't tried to turn it off.

She closed her eyes for a few seconds when Logan had grabbed her hips and started thrusting up into her, but it didn't last. She was afraid she'd start thinking of the rape and opened her eyes again quickly.

"What's wrong?" Logan asked. He'd been paying close attention to her and saw the slight reaction she had when her eyes popped open. He'd stopped moving. He was worried she was having a flashback to the rape.

"Nothing," Veronica assured him. "I just want to keep focused on you while we do this."

"You're sure?" Logan questioned.

"Yeah," Veronica replied. She leaned down and kissed him to make him believe her.

Logan wrapped his arms around her and held her against him as he began to thrust again. She began kissing him and they got lost in the pleasure they were both feeling. Logan could feel Veronica's orgasm approaching. She was grinding against him and moaning into his mouth. When her orgasm hit her inner walls began to clench propelling Logan closer to his orgasm.

Veronica had stopped moving when her orgasm hit and laid practically boneless atop Logan. He rolled so he was on top and began thrusting into her, keeping his eyes on her to make sure she was ok with what he was doing. She moaned out in pleasure driving Logan over the edge. He thrust into her a few more times before his orgasm overtook him and he came hard inside of her.

He stilled as he rode out the waves. He leaned in to kiss her before moving off of her and collapsing next to her on the pillows. Veronica recovered and moved closer to him, laying her head on his chest, and he wrapped his left arm around her. She could hear his heart beating fast under her ear and it made her happy to know she helped get it racing.

She moved to look up at him and saw that his eyes were closed. He was obviously still trying to recover. Veronica moved up to kiss him and then moved her lips next to his ear.

"Thank you," she said causing his eyes to pop open.

"You're welcome," Logan replied. He moved to kiss her forehead before she settled back into his arms.

Logan reached to grab the throw blanket at the foot of the bed and draped over the two of them. Veronica was asleep in his arms a few minutes later. He was glad she was able to drift off to sleep so easily. He hoped that meant she was going to get over what happened and wasn't going to let it keep affecting her.
