"Mackie, answer the damn phone and tell me what's going on!" screamed Dick into the phone for about the tenth time that night.
Dick is pacing back in forth in front of the couch in Logan's apartment waiting for Veronica to return with Mac.
"Just chill man, she probably just got cold feet. Ronnie's handling this, wanna play some Halo?" offers Logan
"No man, I know something's up, my Mackie wouldn't do this, not to me in public. I know Ronnie's a super detective and all, she's helped me out of a few sticky situations, but I think even this is beyond her superpowers" said Dick, almost crying
"I know Veronica, she'll figure all of this out, I promise" Logan assures him "now am I going to kick your ass in Halo or not?"
"Okay I guess, it will pass the time until Mac comes back" say Dick "Oh and by the way, there is no way your kicking my ass"
Veronica is driving Dick's car with a silent Mac in the passenger's seat
"Mac, do you want to tell me what's up?" asks Veronica, trying to be considerate although Mac's irritating the hell out of her
"Nope" whispers Mac
"So Dick is back at my apartment with Logan, so do you wanna go back there and see him or do you wanna go back to your apartment. Either way you are going to have to face Dick eventually" asks Veronica
"Why did he have to do this to me know? Everything was going so well. He loved my anniversary present. Everything is ruined!" yells Mac
"Do you love Dick?" asks Veronica
"Of course he is wonderful, now is just not the time, everything is crashing down on me all at once." Says Mac on the verge of tears
"What do you mean?" asks Veronica
"I got the job at Microsoft" says Mac
"That's amazing, so are you going to be a consultant at the L.A. office?" says Veronica cheerfully
"Not exactly, they offered me the head of software development at the Seattle headquarters" says Mac sadly
"Well that's great Mac! But I'm guessing that you haven't told Dick yet" says Veronica
"Yeah, I'm just afraid he'll want to move with me and ruin his life here. Logan is his only friend and you guys live here. There is no surf in Washington and its way cold. Dick freaks out when it gets below 70 here" explains Mac "It would ruin our whole relationship"
"Maybe you should let Dick know that" says Veronica "Do you want to marry him?"
"Of course I want to marry him, I love him" says Mac, with tears welling up in her eyes
"Well we are here" Veronica says as she pulls into the parking lot at her apartment "Why don't you go on up and have this conversation with Dick, Logan and I need to go talk to my dad about some good news of my own"
"Ok, Ill send Logan right down, thanks for running after me and listening" says Mac as she shuts the car door "Oh wait can I have the car keys?"
"Yeah no problem we'll take Big Bird" Says Veronica as she gets out of Dick's jag
Veronica's leaning up against Logan's Xterra. About 5 minutes later Logan comes out and smiles to Veronica
"I'm glad that you said yes, I don't think that I could handle going through what Dick is right now. What was Mac's deal anyway?" asks Logan as he kissed Veronica
"She is worried about ruining his life. She got a job in Seattle" says Veronica
"I don't think Dick would like the cold rain very much" says Logan as he opens the passenger's door for Veronica
"Um Logan" Veronica says as Logan hops into the driver's seat " I don't know if you have noticed, but I eat a lot when I'm nervous."
Logan nods his head "Is that what was up at Luigi's is there something that you need to tell me?"
"Well, as you remember, I spent two summers interning for the F.B.I.. Well… They offered me a job in their L.A. office" says Veronica nervously
"That's great babe! But wait, why are you nervous about telling me about that?" asks Logan
"Well, we just moved into this apartment and we just got all settled in. We would need to move within the next couple of weeks because I need to start work by the first of April which is in like 3 weeks" said Veronica without making eye contact with Logan
"I have no problem with moving. I'm just an accountant. I can get a job anywhere, especially in L.A." said Logan "I would move anywhere with you, even Alaska, and you know how I feel about Sarah Palin"
Veronica laughs "Thanks, I love you. I think we should go tell my dad the news"
"Sure thing. You know I was thinking we should just buy a house outside of L.A." said Logan as he pulls out of the parking lot
"Why would we need a house for the two of us?" asks Veronica
"Well for a little Echolls's of course!" says Logan peering at Veronica out of the corner of his eye
"Whoa! Wait! Who ever said that actual people were going to be shooting out of here" Veronica says as she points to her pelvis
"Wait, who said they weren't?" asks Logan
"Well we never really talked about kids" says Veronica
"I want two girls, so I can spoil them like little princesses" says Logan with a smile
"Well procreating is the natural objective of humans, so I guess I could shoot some out" says Veronica with a smile
"Could you please stop saying you're going to be shooting them out" Says Logan with a sour look on his face
"I think maybe a boy and then a girl would be nice. So there could be the over protective big brother" says Veronica as she smiles to Logan
"I guess that's okay, as long as the girl is a princess" says Logan
"I can't believe I let you talk me into that" says Veronica
"Whatever you know you wanted kids" says Logan winking at Veronica "So how about Beverly Hills?"
"Sure, its close to L.A. where I need to work, but far enough away from the craziness so that the kids could be safe" says Veronica
"Great, ill have Kathy look into some houses for use. What are you thinking 8 bedrooms with a movie theatre, oh what about a tennis court?" says Logan totally seriously
"No way!" says Veronica looking shocked "We need one for us, and 2 for the kids, hopefully. And we only need one guest room. That makes 4, no more than 4 rooms. No tennis court or movie theatre. We can have a SMALL swimming pool but nothing to fancy"
"Alright alright, here we are." Says Logan as the pull into the driveway of Keith and Alicia's house. Wallace's mom and Veronica's dad had gotten married last year and this small home had been Logan's gift to them. They wouldn't except anything larger "So are we going to tell them about the kids and house?"
"Why not, I've always been honest with my dad, why not now" says Veronica as she knocks of their door
Alicia opens the door "Hello, what do we owe the pleasure of your visit at 10 pm?"
"Hey, Alicia. I know its not too late my dad stays up to watch Jay Leno." Says Veronica with a smile as she hugs Alicia "We have some good news!"
" Okay Okay, come on in" Alicia says as she opens the door for Veronica and hugs Logan "It's nice to see you again"
"You too" says Logan as he walks in the door
"Hey supafly!" says Wallace as he walks over the Veronica and gives her a hug. Wallace joined the Army and had been in training at Ft. Irwin. They hadn't seen him in two months
"Papa bear! I haven't seen you in forever!" says Veronica cheerfully
"Hey man. Whats up?" says Logan as he pulls him into a guy hug
"I'm on leave for a month. I just got here today" says Wallace as he walks over to sit down on the couch with a bowl of ice cream
"How's my daughter today?" asks Keith as he hugs his daughter
"I'm great dad" says Veronica "Can I have some of the ice cream"
"Of course sweetheart" Keith says as Veronica goes into the kitchen "How are ya Logan?" asks Keith as he shakes his soon to be son in law's hand
"I'm great, how are you Mr. Mars" says Logan with a smile
"I'm fabulous Logan. And I told you, its Keith" says Keith
"Thanks Keith, any way you wanna sit down Veronica and I have some news" says Logan with a smile as Veronica takes a seat on the couch beside Wallace
"Your pregnant!" says Keith with a happy look
"No, no not yet at least" says Veronica with a smile
"What do you mean not yet?" asks Wallace
"Well why don't we start at the beginning" offered Veronica " I got offered a job in L.A., at the FBI!"
"That's great!" says Keith as he hugs his daughter "But what does that have to do with a baby?"
Logan sits down beside Veronica "Well we were talking about moving. And I suggested that we go ahead and buy a house for a family. Veronica was questionable at first but then she decided that she does want kids"
"So that's our news. I got a job and were moving to Beverly Hills, and we will eventually be having kids" smiled Veronica
"Congratulations" says Alicia as she hugs both of them
"Yeah man" says Wallace "So when are you moving?"
"Within the next couple of weeks, I start the first of April" says Veronica
"That's great, I'd love for you to say but Jay Leno is starting soon and I know how you comment" say Keith
"Fine, we'll leave" Veronica gives Keith a kiss on the cheek "Ill talk to you later"
"Bye Keith" says Logan as he shakes his hand
"Wallace, you wanna come with us?" asks Veronica
"Sure, they'll be going to sleep soon" says Wallace
"Bye guys" Alicia says as she walks them out the door
Veronica, Logan, and Wallace load into the Xterra and drive off to the apartment. Dicks jag is still in the driveway. The three walk upstairs to the apartment and open the door. There they find Dick and Mac in the same position as Mac had seen Logan and Veronica in the day before.
"Have you ever heard of knocking?" asks Dick
"This is my house you douche" says Logan
"Why did I have to come with you guys?" asks Wallace
"So I see everything is well again" says Veronica as Mac puts her clothes back
"Hey Wallace nice to see you!" says Mac "And yes, look at my ring!"
"Your getting married too?" asks Wallace
"Yeah man, I popped the question tonight, we were celebrating when you barged in!" says Dick as he pulls his pants back on
"Hey Mac did they same thing to us yesterday, and at least we were in our own house" say Logan argumentatively
"Man, Y'all crazy" say Wallace
