After coming home from the police station at midnight Veronica went straight to bed. At seven o'clock her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Veronica, its me. Where are you?"

"Hey Duncan, what do you mean?" she replied as she looked at her alarm clock. "Shit it's seven, I overslept!"

"Yea, just a tad. I got worried when I didn't see you before homeroom."

"Yea long night at the station, I'll talk to you later, I got to get ready," she said as she ran across the room finding clothes to wear.

Fifteen minutes later she was out the door. She arrived at school at seven forty-five, and headed to the office to sign in.

"Well, well Miss Mars, tardy are we?"

"Yea, I had a doctors' appointment, sorry Mr. Van Clemmon."

"Likely story, where is your pass?"

"Damn I knew I was forgetting something as I left the office," she replied with a smirk on her face as her hand reached into her bag and grabbed her pass. "Wait I did get a pass," she said as she gave it to him.

"Well let's see if it were legit," he said as he reached for the phone.

"Hello Neptune Medical Center? Hello, I am Mr. Van Clemmon Principle up at the high school, I was wondering if Veronica Mars had an appointment this morning? … Oh, is that so? Ok thank you."

"Well, well, well Miss Mars it seem that your alibi was true get going to class," he said grumpily.

"Thanks for trusting me. See ya!" she replied as she headed out the door. Lucky for her she helped out the receptionist on a prank phone call investigation last year and she was promised a favor.

As she headed to class she passed by Logan who walked by with his head down. What did she expect? She just spent 45 minutes yelling at him yesterday, and she expected a hello? What was she thinking? Why did she even care? As all these questions flashed through her head she felt a pair of arms wrap around her shoulders.

"Good morning sleepy head!"

"Sleepy head, what are you talking about I had doctors appointment!" she said as she kissed him and he looked confused. She then explained what happened last night and this morning on their way to Journalism.

As the bell rang for lunch, they walked out of the classroom when Veronica saw Cassidy a.k.a. Beaver Casablanca. She told Duncan she would meet up with him later. She walked up to Beaver and pushed him into the "out of order" girls bathroom.

"Hey Beav."

"What do you want? Is it really necessary to drag me into a girls bathroom for?"

"Well, I wanted to ask you about your step-mom"

"What about her?"

"Well did you know she was pregnant?

"Yea, I found the pregnancy test in the garbage and asked her about it. She told me she was pregnant."

"How long ago was this?"

"Back in December."

"Do you think she is going to keep the baby?"

"Well she has no choice now, she's a little past her first trimester, plus she said she could never had an abortion. Plus she's changed due to the baby and I like this new her. She a lot nicer and more caring, though it's really weird."

"Wow, what do you have to say about it? Does your father know?"

"Well it's a baby and whether I like it or not she's still my step-mom that is going to have a step brother or sister for me. Maybe I can help raise the baby and not have it come like another Dick. As my father goes, no one has been able to contact him in months, and since he hasn't been around since the end of September I don't think the baby is his."

"Whose do you think it is?"

"I don't know I asked her about it but she wouldn't say anything. I think it's probably Logan's. I'll be really glad if it's not. Can you see him being the father to a brother or sister of mine?"

"Yea, I can only picture it," Veronica said with a chuckle.

"Well, I'm late at meeting Mac, I have to go."

"Yea sure bye", she said as he headed out the door. "Wait Beav!"

"Yea?"

"Thanks for the info, and congrats on you and Mac you make a cute couple." Beaver blushed as he headed out the door.
