When they arrived back to the suite at the Grand, Rianna had fallen back to sleep. Veronica took her into the bedroom to put her in her crib after putting a sleeper on her. As Rianna lay there sleeping Veronica stood there just watching her sleep. The little girl reminded her so much of Lily. Even at just a few weeks old, this little girl was so happy and full of life. There was always such happiness in her eyes. Logan stepped into the bedroom and he felt so much happiness fill him when he saw Veronica standing over the crib staring at their daughter. He knew in his head that this was Duncan and Meg's child but he and Veronica both loved her and would always treat her as theirs. Logan walked up behind Veronica and wrapped his arms around her waist. " I love you both so much," Logan said lokking down at Rianna.
"I love you too Logan and so does Rianna," Veronica said.
A few moments later Veronica and Logan left the bedroom after turning on the baby monitor. Logan yawned and a look of pure exhaustion showed on his face. " Well I guess we should be going to bed," Veronica suggested. " Rianna will probably be up early in the morning plus we have school."
"Oh I'm sure that will be fun," Logan said. He knew how fast news traveled in Neptune and he had no doubt the 09ers would have gotten wind of DK's disappearance as well as Ronnie and himself having the baby.
"Yeah well I'm used to it," Veronica said. Logan looked ashamed when she said that. He knew he had made her life hell after Lily's murder and even though she had forgiven him he still hadn't forgave himself.
Seeing the look on Logan's face Veronica immediately felt bad. She knew that he felt bad for his treatment of her after Lily's death. He had tried so hard to make it up to her over the summer and he did a pretty damn good job. They probably wouldn't have even broken up if he would have just stooped feuding with the PCHers and acting so carelessly. "I didn't say that to make you feel bad Logan. I know how sorry you are and I have forgiven you for that."
"I know," Logan said simply. He went to the bedroom Rianna was sleeping in and grabbed a blanket and pillow to make himself comfortable on the couch. When he came back out Veronica had disappeared. She came out of the bathroom a few minutes later in a t shirt and a pair of pajama pants. Logan was lying on the couch already asleep when she emerged. She gave him a kiss on the forehead and headed off to the other bedroom. She fell into a deep sleep shortly after.
***The Next Morning***
Veronica woke up to the sound of Logan trying to quiet Rianna. She got up out of the bed and put on the outfit she was wearing for the day and exited the bedroom. Seeing Veronica enter the room Logan smiled and whispered softly to Rianna, " Look sweetie there's your mommy."
Veronica watched as the little girl's cries turned to soft whimpers and then stopped completely. Walking over to them, Veronica took Rianna from Logan's arms so he could go get ready for the day. " If I didn't know that all girls adored me I would be offended that she stopped crying as soon as she saw you," Logan joked.
Veronica laughed and gave him a push towards the bedroom. " Go get ready," she said. Veronica picked up the bottle Logan had just finished preparing and began to give it to Rianna when there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," she called out to Logan. She placed Rianna in the bouncy seat on her way to answer the door. She opened and was happy to see it was Mrs. Navarro.
Lettie Navarro gave Veronica a hug and Veronica was happy to return it. Mrs. Navarro had been the Echoll's housekeeper ever since Veronica could remember and Veronica and she always seemed to get along very well.
Seeing the baby in the bouncy seat Mrs. Navarro immediately went over to her. "Oh she is such a beautiful baby."
Logan came out then and Mrs. Navarro gave him a hug as well. The women knew of her grandson Eli's dislike of Logan, however the young man had always been kind and respectful to her.
"Mrs. Navarro Veronica and I will be home around 3 this afternoon," Logan said. He wrote down both his and Veronica's cell phone numbers as well as Keith's, while Veronica finished getting ready. It was almost 7: 30 so both Veronica and Logan both gave Rianna a kiss and left the suite. When they pulled up in the parking lot of Neptune High, Logan felt Veronica tense beside him.
"Everything will be fine," Logan said not sure who he was trying to reassure more himself of Veronica.
She gave him a nod and the both exited his X Terra. Dick seeing the couple called out to Logan, " Dude I thought you were done slumming it with this slut..." Before Dick could even finish his derogatory remark towards Veronica Logan immediately had him shoved against a car. " If anyone, including you Dick ever says one more thing about Veronica I will personally kick your ass.
"Geez Dude okay I got it to more rumors about Veronica," Dick finally says when Logan backs away so Dick is no longer trapped between him and the car.
Logan and Veronica walk away leaving Dick and some other 09ers standing there looking shocked by what Logan had just told them.
When Logan was on his way out the doors during lunch he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Glancing at the caller id he saw it was Mr. Grander the attorney he had called yesterday.
"Hello," he said answering the phone.
"Is this Mr. Logan Echolls?"
"Yes it is."
"Mr. Echolls this is Jeffery Grander I was returning the call from yesterday," the attorney informed him.
"Yes sir. This case is very complicated and I was hoping to meet with you as soon as possible," Logan said.
"Okay let's see how about four o clock this afternoon?"
"That will be fine. See you then sir," Logan told him.
When Logan got to the table where Veronica was sitting, he was so excited to tell her they had gotten a meeting with the attorney so soon. He hoped she didn't have to work this evening though. He gave her a quick kiss before sitting down. " We have a meeting at four this afternoon with the attorney," he said getting straight to it.
"Great. I'm off tonight so that works out really well. I'll call dad and see if he'll keep the baby," Veronica said.
"He adores her. As long as he doesn't have an important case I'm sure he will," Logan told her as she pulled out her cell. After her father agreed to keep the baby for them, Veronica and Logan finished eating and then called Mrs. Navarro to check on Rianna. Once that call was done they parted ways for their afternoon classes.
They arrived home at the Grand at three o clock just as Logan had told Mrs. Navarro. After Mrs. Navarro left for the day Veronica and Logan got ready for the meeting with the attorney. After dropping Rianna off to Keith ,they headed to the meeting.
