LoVe Conquers All
Chapter 7
Once they made it to 'Mars Investigations' she sat him down in front of her. He just laughed at the fact that every time on the way here he tried to ask about what has happened she told him she wouldn't say until they made it the office.
"Ok so basically, Duncan got Meg pregnant. Before you freak it was way before we got together. And then after I found out I couldn't really talk to him at school, so I went to his suite at the Neptune Grand and when I walked in I found a not-so-pregnant Meg sitting on his lap and they were making out. I didn't say anything they didn't even know I was there. Logan came in after and saw what happened and surprisingly jumped into 'Protective Friend' mode and stopped the Meg/Duncan make out session. He noticed that I still didn't move or speak so he took me outside in the hall. I was fine, I started to cry finally when he went and said 'Baby' so I freaked out," she took a second to breath. Wallace was entranced with the story she was telling. She sighed for a moment and continued. "So I spent Saturday crying listening to Voicemail messages from all three of them. Then on Sunday Logan stopped by the apartment and took me out of the house. We walked Backup and well one thing led to another and he told me he still loved me and I started kissing him. So now we are back together and Duncan and Meg are together," she heard the phone ring and answered it real quick. After she hung up, she saw that Wallace had this 'holy shit' look on his face. "What?" she asked.
"Well, I'm glad he helped you, but I still don't know about you two dating. Though I will be nice, cause you did the nice thing and tried with Jackie." he forced a smile but Veronica knew he was faking it. Veronica hadn't seen Jackie around school since the dance, and she certainly didn't go looking for the, in her mind, Backstabbing, two-timing hussy that tried to not only go for Logan but hurt Wallace in the process. She didn't want to continue the conversation, mainly she didn't know how Wallace was feeling about Jackie.
"So, I'm glad you will give him a chance. He's really been great. No more stupid stunts, no more partied and whores. Real change." she said with a laugh. Given her reputation, that's exactly what most people thought of her.
They sat silently as she did her usual taking messages and getting information for her dad. She didn't know that Logan had listened to her entire conversation with Wallace. He was so amazed at how she let it all out, their relationship, everything. Before she was the one that wanted to hide it before and now she wasn't afraid. She's told the two most important people in her life that didn't know. The others at school that didn't mean anything. He stepped into the room as if he just arrived.
"Hey baby, Hey Wallace," he said walking over to her desk and planting a nice big kiss on her forehead while she was on the phone. He sat on the couch with Wallace.
"She been on the phone long?" he asked quietly.
"Have you been outside the door long?" Wallace knew, but Veronica was talking too much to notice herself. He smiled and gave Logan the 'don't worry I wont tell her' look and Logan smiled back.
"So, how long you been back?" he wanted to make conversation.
"Not long, I showed up at her door on her way out. I didn't realize I would be forced here to spend my evening." he sat back and propped his feet on the table in front of him.
"Well, I'm sure that while Veronica is here we can go do something, she can't meet up with us later." Wallace couldn't believe how friendly he was being to him but he couldn't turn down the chance to get out of listening to Veronica on the phone all night.
"Sounds good, what do you want to do?" he didn't care what it was just anything.
"Aww are my two favorite men getting along?" Veronica chimed in watching them having a nice conversation.
"Yes we were decided what to do away from her while you worked. Keep ourselves busy, you know." Logan laughed at Wallace's non-chalant attitude about getting out of here. He just nodded in agreement.
"Ah, well that probably would be a good plan since I will be here for two more hours." she laughed. She got up and sat between them. "So you two go do whatever, and call me when either you are done or you want me to meet you." she put a hand on each other their thighs and push up sitting back at her desk. Keith came in and was shocked with Wallace being back. Alicia didn't even return his phone calls since they had their fight.
"Hey Wallace, Logan. I hope she isn't dragging you two in her schemes to work alone and against my permission." they both shook their heads no. They got up and moved out of the way.
"We were just heading out," Logan went and gave Veronica a quick kiss. "I'll call you later okay babe?" Veronica nodded and pulled him in for another kiss. They left and Veronica noticed that her dad didn't look so well.
"You okay pop?" she sat patiently, not sure if he'd answer.
"Yeah, I will have to leave for a few days, bail-jumper as usual." he closed his door. She did wonder if it was Wallace's presence but didn't think to much of it.
As she was heading out the door herself and wondering why Logan hadn't called her yet her phone rang. She smiled as she answered it.
"Hey baby, I was just heading out now." she suddenly got uncomfortable when he didn't answer right away.
"Ronnie, we are at the hospital, I'll explain when you get here." he said softly.
"I'll be right there," she hung up and ran out the door. She didn't know how she got there so quickly but she ran frantically looking for Logan. She found him sitting next to a room door. "Oh my god, what happened?" Logan looked up and ran to Veronica giving her a big hug. She didn't understand why he was crying but she pulled away and looked at him. "What happened baby?" she cupped his face and he felt a little better. He tried to look away but she held him to her.
"Um, Duncan had a seizure at the room. Me and Wallace were there playing video games. Meg runs into my room screaming, so we..." not wanting to continue he takes a gulp. "Ran out and saw Duncan on the floor. We didn't know what to do so I called 911 and they brought him here." he let a sigh that he was done but he wasn't quite done. "Meg is upset because he was some how screaming your name. She didn't know what to think of it. I told her that it was because he was just getting over the whole thing between you and me. I don't think she bought it." he looked away and Veronica didn't know what to say. Meg came out of the room and looked at Veronica. She looked hurt, Veronica walked over to her.
"Meg, please don't be mad. It wasn't what you thought. I don't know why he said my name I really don't. I know he loves you Meg. Please don't get mad." she gave Meg a hug and Meg didn't stop her.
"I will stay here as long as you need me." she said to her, she took Logan's hand and sat down with him. This seems like it was going to be a long night and she was not going anywhere.
