Authors Note: I really appreciate all the reviews. And I know the chapters are short, but they are easier to write and type that way. But it all works out, because the faster I can type them the faster you can read them. If all works out as I planned it, this story should be done by the next new episode of Veronica Mars!
The court date was in just a few days and Veronica completely forgot about it. With all that is going on she hasn't spent much time with Duncan, which to her wasn't a bad thing because everyone needed his or her own space after a while. Duncan had not even gone to school because he was busy talking to his lawyers about how to get custody of his daughter. Veronica had called a few times and she could tell that Duncan was anxious. To tell the truth she was anxious to. She did promise Meg that the baby would be in good care, and so far it hasn't been.
Wallace had fully moved in and Keith had fully moved out. That Saturday morning Veronica woke up to the smell of French toast. She walked out of her room and into the kitchen.
"Yum!" she exclaimed as she grabbed a plate. "A girl could get used to this."
"Yea, well I used to make breakfast every Saturday for my mom and brother but since I'm not living with them anymore, I figured I could make breakfast for my new roomie." Wallace explained as he handed Veronica a glass of orange juice.
"Well I approve," Veronica chuckled as she shoved the French toast into her mouth.
After breakfast Veronica took a shower as Wallace went for a run around the block. 'I really should go talk to Kendal' Veronica thought 'I mean she is going through a lot and now she is going to have a baby without a dad to care for it.' After she got dressed she left a note explaining where she was going.
On her drive to the Casablanca's house Veronica thought of things to say. 'How am I going to explain why I am there? Well I could ask to speak to Beaver and then somehow talk to Kendal. Well I guess I could just come up with something by the time I get there.' Soon enough Veronica was at the house. It took her five minutes just to get out of the car. 'It's better now then never' she thought.
She went up and rang the doorbell.
"One second," she heard someone scream.
"Veronica Mars, how may I help you?" Kendal, who had put on a few pounds, asked as she stood in front of the door.
"Hi Mrs. Casablanca, is Beaver home?"
"Yea, he is up in his room, it's up the stairs, second door on the right."
"Thanks," Veronica said as she headed up the stairs then she turned around. "Actually Kendal, may I talk to you first?"
"About what?" Kendal remarked sharply.
"About your situation."
"What situation?"
"Kendal, I heard the whole conversation at Duncan and Logan's apartment. I know that you are pregnant."
"Well is that so. So what would you like to know? How's the baby's daddy for starters?"
"Actually I already know who it is."
"Really now," Kendal exclaimed. "Did he tell you this or did you do your little private investigating to find out."
"Well he didn't come up and tell me. Actually when I went up to ask him about it he denied the whole thing." Veronica said, while she thought 'It's only obvious that's it's Logan. I mean everyone knows that you were screwing around with him and I heard you yelling and pleading with him.'
"That sounds right that he would deny it, I guess he just doesn't want to hurt your feelings Veronica."
'How would Logan having a baby hurt my feelings' she thought.
"Anyway is there anything else you would like to know, or can I leave?"
"How are you going to raise this baby? I mean it is going to grow up without a father." Veronica asked.
"Well the baby's father really isn't ready to take care of a baby. I mean his is still a wreck from loosing a loved one and a family member within two years. These past few years have been tough for him and putting a baby on his belt is the last he needs. Plus what does the baby need a father for anyway. I grew up without a father and look what I have become."
'A gold digger who sleeps with her step-sons friends'
"Well thanks for your time Mrs. Casablanca, but I should really go and talk to Beav now." Veronica said as she marched up the stairs. She was paying attention where she was going and walked into the first room on the right instead of the second. There she saw Gia getting changed as Dick was still in his bed.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?" Dick demanded as he threw more blankets over himself.
"I'm sorry I came into the wrong room," Veronica chuckled as she turned around heading out the door.
"Yea whatever you Hispanic loving bitch." Dick screamed.
'Yes that is me, the Hispanic loving bitch.' Veronica thought as she remembered back to the jury duty where she and the fellow jurors prosecuted two rich white guys with assault to a Hispanic woman. She remembered walking to her car and seeing the graffiti. That night she was supposed to go to another '09er party, but felt that now she would no longer be invited. So she went home and watched the ball drop with her father, only he went to bed early. But then Wallace came and they watched it together. It was one of her most memorable New Year's Ever.
"Veronica, hey," Mac called as Veronica entered the right room this time.
"Hey Mac, hey Beaver," Veronica said as she took as seat next to Mac on Beaver's bed.
"Hey, what was the commotion outside all about?" Beaver asked.
"Well I kinda sorta walked in on the aftermath of Gia and Dick having sex." Veronica said as Beaver and Mac both started laughing.
"That's really funny," Beaver said.
"Oh it was, but then again it was a little disturbing. I may never get that sight out of my head," Veronica said as she closed her eyes and stuck out her tongue, which made all of them laugh even more. For the next two hours they hung out and chatted. Soon Veronica looked at her watch.
"Well would you look at the time, I would love to stay some more, but I really have to finish helping Wallace unpack all of his belongings," said Veronica.
"Yea how is that going? It must be really nice to have no parents around." Mac said.
"Yea well although they are not around, they still know everything that happens. I mean Yesterday Wallace broke a glass and a few minutes later the phone rang. They wanted to make sure that everything is okay and that nothing broke. It was like they have cameras and little microphones set up in the house. But knowing my dad, he probably does. All I have to do now is find them." Veronica said. "Thanks for having me over," she said as she walked out of Beaver's room.
As she walked up to her car she saw Duncan pull into the driveway. She went up to him and said, "Hey what are you doing here?"
"I um came to see Dick," he replied as he looked at the house and not Veronica.
"Yea well he might not be in the best mood right now."
"And why is that," he said as he finally looked into her eyes.
"Because your beautiful loving girlfriend kinda walked in on him having sex with Gia," she said with a puppy dog frown. "He doesn't like me very much right now."
"Awe that's ok, Dick's a dick no matter what."
"Then remind me why you are friends with him again."
"Because he has a really hot mom," Duncan laughed.
"I'm gonna pretend I never heard that come out of your mouth." Veronica said as she started to get mad.
" Calm down, I was only kidding," he said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
"All right, I better get going, come over tonight though."
"Okay no problem, see you then," he said as he pulled her in for one last kiss.
