2 years later
Veronica pushed her hair out of her face as she continued developing her pictures in her darkroom. This room was her sanctuary, her one place of rest and peace from her two year old daughter. Veronica smiled as she developed the picture of her daughter with curls and a smile the day she got to go to work with her mom.
Veronica had finished college just as her father wanted. She had just graduated a few months earlier and decided to steer away from any dangerous fields of work. She knew that was what Logan would have wanted for her to do so she decided on opening her own photography studio.
Her and Megan lived with Mac in a beach house that reminded her of Logan. In honor of Logan she had learned to surf and was actually ok with it. Dick had offered to teach her because he missed Logan and Veronica was what was left. After Veronica had given birth to Megan Dick had started coming over more and more regularly.
To Megan, Dick was her Uncle and to Dick, Megan was a little Logan. They adored each other and after two years of only minor mishaps involving the two Veronica had decided that Dick was ok to baby-sit his favorite niece. So, every day while Veronica went to visit Logan in the hospital Dick watched Megan.
Once a week Megan would join Veronica to visit Logan and she would sit on her dad's hospital bed and talk to him about her week. Veronica had made it a point to tell Megan about her dad as much as her little two year old brain could understand. Megan knew her Daddy was very sick and so he was sleeping but maybe one day he would get better and wake up and play with her.
Then on a Spring Day while Megan and Veronica colored next to Logan's bed he began to wake up. At first Veronica thought that two and a half years of hoping made her imagine the finger movement but when he groaned she realized it was really happening, Logan was waking up.
Veronica jumped up and grabbed Logan's hand begging him to wake up as tears streamed down her face.
"Megan," she instructed her daughter, "Can you please press that big red button my daddy's bed to call the doctor to see if he is all better?" Excited at the prospect of her dad waking up Megan pushed the button as hard as her stubby arms would let her.
The doctor soon came in and checked Logan's vitals and with a smile and a reassuring hug after two years of agony he informed Veronica that Logan was indeed waking up and he should be fully awake within a couple hours.
The hours as Logan fully woke up seemed longer then the two and a half years he was in a full coma. Veronica managed to call all her close friends and tell them the great news, re-do Megan's hair so she looked presentable, clean the hospital room up a little, and order a huge bouquet of flowers and have them delivered to the room.
Four hours after he moved his fingers Logan opened his eyes and looked around the room he was lying in. No one seemed to be there but a huge bouquet of lilies sat on the table so Logan knew Veronica was around somewhere. Sure enough he soon heard her voice and it seemed as if she were scolding somewhere.
"I can't believe you couldn't hold it. Of course you had to use the bathroom right this second. He could've woken up why we were go…" Veronica stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed Logan smiling at her while glancing curiously at Megan.
Without a second thought Veronica let go of her daughter's hand and ran towards Logan and kissed him and let out all of the hurt, loneliness, and anger that had built up over the last two years.
Logan had never been happier to have Veronica in his arms. She kissed him like the world was ending and he wondered how long he had been unconscious. He remembered the shooting and the paramedics but after that it was all blank.
Soon Veronica pulled back and looked at Logan with tears gathering in her eyes. Logan tried to swallow the sob that was rising at the look on his girlfriend's face but only managed to choke out a question. "How long Ronnie? How long was I unconscious?"
"Two and a half years." Was the simple answer he received and he wondered what had happened during that time and who the little girl at the foot of his bed was. The little girl had light brown curls and eyes as blue and mesmerizing as the woman he was in love with.
Veronica seemed to notice Logan's curiosity and the unasked question of the little girls paternity. With a smile Veronica picked up the little girl and brought her up close to Logan.
"Logan, meet your daughter Megan Lynn. She is two years old. And Megan, look, Daddy is all better and he is awake!" Veronica smiled at the look of awe and happiness that crossed Logan's face. He was a Dad and although he had missed two years of his daughter's life he was still her dad.
Megan squirmed out of Veronica's arms and climbed onto the bed next to her dad. Veronica laughed as she watched Logan and her daughter sizing each other up. They were so much alike that Megan was what had kept Veronica going each day without Logan.
Megan seemed to have decided she really liked her dad as she snuggled into his arms and laughed as he tickled her little feet. Logan pulled Veronica to the bed and she climbed onto the hospital bed with them and smiled at the look of pure love Logan was giving Megan.
"Veronica Mars." He said as he tore his gaze away from his daughter to his girlfriend. "You waited two years for me and I never want to leave again. I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?"
With a smile Veronica nodded her assent to marriage and snuggled into Logan's arms to enjoy the happiness that she had not felt for almost three years.
