Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Rianna. If I did VM would still be on.

A/N: Okay so I'm thinking about wrapping this story up...anyone have any certain way they would like it to end?

Logan looked at Veronica smiling and took her hand, "Lets go home to our daughter."

Veronica nodded and together they left the courthouse. Logan smirked at Celeste Kane when they saw her. The couple got in Logan's X Terra and drove off towards the Grand. When they got there Mrs. Navarro informed them that Rianna had just laid down for a nap. Logan paid Mrs. Navarro and after she left he and Veronica went in the bedroom. Rianna was snoring softly and both Logan and Veronica couldn't do anything but smile. This little angel was theirs finally no more interference from the Kane family. When Veronica turned around she saw a vision of Lily Kane sitting on the bed. She should have been used to seeing Lily, but she still gasped and when Logan turned around to see what was wrong he saw Lily as well.

" Well Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars raising my niece who would have ever thought it would happen." Lily laughed as Veronica and Logan both just stared at her. "Holy shit I made Logan Echolls speechless ."

"So Lily what is causing you to grace us with your presence today?" Veronica finally asked. Normally she never would have spoken to Lily Kane in that tone even after her death but something had changed in her since she found out Lily had slept with Logan's father and to make matters worse she did that knowing Aaron beat Logan.

"Wow Veronica Mars finally grew a spine. I must say I am impressed. Did banging Logan do that to you?" Lily laughed.

"Shut the hell up Lily," Logan said finally speaking. "You have no right to speak to her like that."

"Whatever Logan. I just made an appearance to congratulate you both on the custody and tell you both that you are made for each other and to stop screwing it up. Oh and my niece looks just as fabulous as I do. Echolls and Mars you will be raising a miniature Lily Kane." With those as her parting words the image of the fabulous Lily Kane disappeared.

"Oh God, I hope she's not right about us having a mini Lily on our hands," Veronica said.

"Yeah me too," Logan agreed. "Although she was right about one thing, we do make one hell of a couple."

Veronica leaned in and kissed him. Logan looked over at the crib and seeing that Rianna was still sound asleep he suggested that they move their make-out session to the other bedroom. Veronica agreed and they left Rianna's room. The kissing led to other fun things occurring a few times. A few hours later Veronica and Logan awoke to Rianna crying in the next room. Stretching Logan stood up and looked around the room for his boxers. He slid them on and left the bedroom to go get the baby.

When Veronica exited the bedroom she saw Logan holding Rianna while he was preparing her bottle. She also heard him talking to their daughter. " Now I know your middle name is Lily but that doesn't mean you have to grow up to be like your aunt. Don't get me wrong she was a gorgeous girl. She doesn't hold a candle to your mommy though. Your mom is beautiful, smart, loyal, courageous, and funny. Most of all she would never behave the way your aunt used to. One day when you get older your mom and I will explain about your aunt Lily. I never knew I could love someone so much until the day that I became your daddy. I love your mommy too but that is a whole different kind of love. Both are unconditional though."

Veronica cleared her throat to make her presence known to Logan who apparently was in his own little world with Rianna.

Logan smiled sheepishly at Veronica. " Hey Veronica so how much of that did you hear?"

"Everything," she said simply. " And I must say I agree with every word of it.

"Really? Even the part about unconditional love," he asked.

"Yes Logan, even that. I know I haven't always acted like it but you are everything to me. From the first time we kissed at the Camelot hotel I knew you were it for me. Even when I was dating Duncan this second time. I was wishing I was with you. It killed me when you were screwing Kendall. I know it shouldn't have because I was the one who broke up with you and I was with Duncan, but it did." Logan was shocked by her confession. Veronica Mars was never that open anymore with anyone.

"Ronnie, you know Kendall meant nothing to me, no one has meant anything other than you. Hell even with Lily I don't think I was in love. I mean yeah I did love her but it wasn't the same as you. You and Rianna are everything to me."

Logan placed Rianna in her baby swing and he and Veronica sat down on the couch. " Logan I know you love me really I do. I think I may have always known it but I never wanted to face it. I thought by getting back together with Duncan that things could be normal again," Veronica said.

"By normal you mean like before Lily's murder and I turned everyone at school against you?" Logan asked.

"Well yeah but there was one problem with my normal that I wanted. I was no longer the Veronica that I was before all of that. In fact I kind of owe you a thank you. Without being a social outcast I probably would have never became this Veronica."

"You definitely do not owe me a thank you for being a jackass to you for a year and a half. I want to kick my own ass for the way I acted. You're right though you aren't the same Veronica that you were before Lily's death. Trust me I know, that Veronica never would have had the nerve to put a bong in my locker like you did nor would that girl have done the things we just did for hours," Logan said smirking at her.

Veronica smiled at him in agreement.

"So Ronnie are you up for some house hunting?" Logan asked.

"We don't even have a real estate agent yet Logan," Veronica said.

"Well actually, I called the top rated Realtor in all of southern California," Logan said. "I hope you don't mind."

"No that's fine, I mean it's not like you bought a house without my input. Do you have an idea of where you want to start looking?" Veronica replied.

" I was thinking something close to the beach, but still close to the school," Logan told her.

"That sounds good to me," Veronica told him. She didn't think she should tell Logan she had been accepted to Stanford. He knew how much she wanted to go there but that was before they had gotten Rianna. There was no way she was going to an out of state college. She would stay here in Neptune and go to Hearst with Mac and Wallace. She assumed Logan would be going there as well.

"Okay well lets go check out some houses then," Logan said. They dressed themselves and Rianna. They were heading out the door when Logan's cell phone rang.

He didn't recognize the number so he let it go to voice mail. Once they got Rianna's car seat fastened in to the backseat Logan checked his voice mail. He was shocked when he heard the voice on the message... Logan this is DK. I got word about the custody suit I'm glad Celeste and Jake lost. I just wanted to let you and Veronica know everything was okay. I'll try to call later.

Veronica was watching Logan's face as he listened to his message. It went from shock to curiosity. Only one person could make Logan react that way. The person that called must have been Duncan. Veronica couldn't believe Duncan was calling so soon. She wondered if that meant he was coming back. She certainly hoped not, she loved being a mother to Rianna. She knew Logan felt the same way.

Logan closed his phone and looked at Veronica, "That was DK. He said he just wanted to tell us he was okay and he got word about the custody suit, said he was glad his mother and father lost. He is supposed to try and call later."

"So he's not coming back?" Veronica asked, looking relieved.

"No he didn't say anything like that. Rianna is ours Ronnie. Nobody is going to take her away from us," Logan assured her.

As they pulled up to the house that the Realtor had asked them to meet her at Veronica immediately loved it before even setting foot inside.

"Logan this house is gorgeous," Veronica said.

"We haven't even seen the inside yet Ronnie," Logan said.

They got Rianna out of her car seat as the Realtor came outside on to the gorgeous wrap around porch. "You must be Mr. Echolls," the woman greeted them.

"Please call me Logan, Mr. Echolls is my father," Logan told her. "Mrs. Freeman, this is Veronica Mars Veronica this is our Realtor Mrs. Leslie Freeman"

Veronica shook the women's hand and she led them into the house. It was just as beautiful on the inside as it was on the outside. It was on three acres of land and had the wrap around porch that Veronica loved. There was also a hot tub on the back deck. It was a two story house and was huge. It had 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room and a family room, a den, and a finished basement. It also had a game room equipped with a pool table, air hockey table and a pinball machine. It was two blocks from the beach and about a fifteen minute drive to the school. It was perfect. Veronica loved it and she hoped Logan did too. She knew her answer though when Logan asked Mrs. Freeman to give them a minute to discuss it. As soon as she was out of ear shot Veronica immediately began speaking, "Oh my God Logan this house is amazing. I absolutely love it."

"Me too. The best part is the owners are eager to sell it and they're selling at a great price," Logan said.

Veronica hadn't even thought of the cost which was very unusual for her. She could hardly believe that she hadn't even thought to ask the price. "How much is it Logan?"

"It is only three hundred thousand dollars," Logan said smiling.

"Oh my God Logan there is no way we can spend that much money on a house," Veronica told him.

"Ronnie you love this house and if I buy it I will get the joy of seeing you smile everyday. It has plenty of room for Rianna to play when she gets older and plus it has plenty of room for some more mini mes," Logan said wiggling his eyebrows at her. "I'm not taking no for an answer on this house, I know you love it and so do I."

"Okay," Veronica said happily. She knew it was pointless to argue with Logan over this house.

Logan was ecstatic he was finally getting the life he had only dreamed of having. He and Veronica were together. They were buying a house and raising a child together. He got out his checkbook and called Mrs. Freeman back into the room. "Well it's settled we will take it. And I have decided to speed things up I would throw an extra five thousand in there. We would like to move in immediately."

"I understand Logan. I will have the paperwork drawn up by tomorrow morning and you should be able to move in by the end of the week."

"Thank you very much Mrs. Freeman," Logan said shaking the woman's hand and handing her the check.

Veronica took one more look at the house before Logan pulled away. She knew that this was really what she wanted. She knew that Logan really did love her and Rianna and he would do anything to make them happy.
