"Dude… what the hell do you mean you LOST the ring?" Logan snapped as he listened to a distraught Dick Casablanca's his best friend and up until about ten minutes ago, he was his best man.

"Dude… I lost a whole person... I can't find her anywhere… Just some handwritten note. Who even does that? She could have at least slapped me! The chicks next door said she left.. I guess she really didn't want to go to the concert, she was feeling sick this morning, so I went to get her some real food, not just the chips and stuff that we brought and when I got back she had taken off" Dick explained.

"Do you think she found it?" Logan asked.

"No way, dude. I had it hidden away in my bag. She's not Jessica Jones, its probably still in my room?" Dick suggested. Logan knew from experience that it definitely wasn't, Veronica had already searched through Dick Casablanca's bedroom for clues that Dick and Mac were having a secret love affair but she hadn't found anything. Logan was beginning to stress.

its was not like he could hire Veronica to track down her own missing engagement ring... although that was getting filed away for proposal ideas.

"It isn't" he sighed.

"I was going to surprise her with those tickets. She ditched me. This sucks… no wonder I don't date seriously." he complained. "I should have just stuck to meeting her in the computer lab processor room."

Logan felt guilty.

Of course he was upset his friend was having a horrible day. Dick had actually gone to a lot of trouble trying to get this weekend right and prove to Mac they could be serious.

"There's…" Logan began.

"Plenty of other hot sorority girls at Hearst. If she doesn't want the carnal gift of me, then its her loss." Dick interrupted. If she didn't want to be with him, he would give her space.

Her answer pretty clear.

"Dick just- take some time... I'll drive out there and meet you?" Logan offered.

"No, it's okay. I'll have another hunt for your ring. I'll get you a new one if I can't." Dick promised.

"Just get home safe." Logan replied.

Disconnecting the call, Logan felt horrible. He had never seen Dick like this before. His friend was a lot deeper than most people gave him credit for; there was a fiercely loyal heart under all the Surfer Bro front.

One that had been broken with his little brothers suicide. Logan knew only too well the pain that came from a close family member choosing to leave you, and the guilt that came with it. He had been hoping that this thing with Mac would work out for both of their sakes, it had been obvious that she was as into him as he was to her, and Mac was a good person, she would have seen the real Dick Casablanca's eventually. The one who Logan had known for years, the one who hid his dyslexia well and had gotten Logan through the worst few years of his life.

"What do you mean you found an engagement ring?" Wallace quizzed as he drove them home down the i6 to Neptune.

"What do you mean you think you are Pregnant?" Parker demanded, her blue eyes flashing at Mac in disbelief. "We had the safe sex talk!"

"Dick..." Veronica asked.

Mac looked at all three of them staring at her, shrinking back into her seat.

"Gee… I really wish Piz was here so he could join in…" Mac said sarcastically. "What is this the Hearst Inquisition?" she sighed as she wrapped herself up inside the hoody that Daisy had given her.

"Okay. What were you doing out here anyways?" Wallace said calmly.

"Logan's roommate… went to Neptune High.. " Veronica asked.

"A weekend away..." Mac replied cautiously worrying at her lower lip.

"Okay… so PREGNANT?" Parker asked hysterically.

"Calm down planned parenthood! And as it turns out Dick might not be firing Casablanks!" she shrieked as she showed them the email from Neptune women's Clinic.

"A Baby?" Wallace growled as his hands gripped the steering wheel. Were all the damn women in his life determined to drive him crazy? His mother had just started Keith Mars again casually, so his best friend could very well end up his step sister. Said best friend had just gotten back together with her psychotic jackass of a boyfriend Logan Echolls, although he did have his good points on occasion.. like saving her from rapists and mass murderers so Wallace was trying to get along better with him for her sake.

"A Maybe Baby" Mac replied.

"This says its inconclusive.. possible positive from Urinary analysis but that they need to wait until your next cycle is due to do a blood panel to confirm" Veronica said as she read the letter.

"Is this why you've been spending so much time defragmenting your hard drive?" Parker asked.

Veronica and Wallace exchanged a look in solidarity.

"Okay fine… this has been going on for a while now… but I had no idea how to admit it to myself much less tell you it was happening!" Mac sobbed. "Now I think hes like totally in love with me or something… and we went away for the weekend and he got really secretive and kept telling me about wanting to give me a special surprise, then I needed mouthwash this morning because I've been really sick and I went into his wash bag because I forgot mine and I found THIS" she said as she reached into her pocked and pulled out the box.

"An engagement ring!" she sobbed and stuffed the box back into her pocket.

"okay… well did he say anything?" Wallace asked.

"No… he doesn't know… I just got the hell out of there" Mac declared.

"You just abandoned him in the cabin during your dirty weekend away?" Parker asked incredulously.

"I left a note…" she replied sheepishly.

"Girl that is cold…" Wallace complained.

Mac was potentially pregnant with her dead ex-boyfriends brothers baby? This is why he like Piz… that guy was straight forward. Guy could barely get a date, let alone knock someone up. His roommate would never get him caught up in drama like this.

Team Piz!

"Can we please just pull over? I need to throw up" Mac pleaded. "Again"

She grabbed a small paper bag and began to heave.
