Sorry about the delay. I had a lot of plans for this chapter and it took a while to get them all out
Disclaimer: I do not own Veronica Mars, obviously. I also do not own Neil Diamond or any people who might coincidentally have the names of the characters that I made up.
Chapter Ten: She Works Hard for the Money
Veronica and Logan had decided to keep their news to themselves for a while until they could go to the doctor to make sure that Veronica is indeed pregnant. Veronica and Logan both have work to make up, so they have an appointment for Saturday morning.
"Agent Mars, we have a missing persons case on our hands, how would you and your partner like to take up this case?" asks Veronica's supervisor, Eric Daniels. Eric was gorgeous to say the least. He had wavy brown hair, green eyes, and the body of an Abercrombie model. He was married, and had 3 children. Veronica couldn't help but crush a little on him.
"Sure thing. It's Echolls now, I got married a few weeks ago." Said Veronica "Levitt is out of the office today, his daughter has a dance recital."
Joseph Levitt was Veronica's partner. He wasn't much to look at, but he sure was good at what he does. He is one of the top Agents. He was also married and had a daughter.
"Aw that's right. I forgot about that." Said Eric. "I think that you can go ahead and start. You can fill Levitt in when he returns. Sean Diamond is missing. Yes the son of Neil Diamond. His wife Laura reported him missing. The last time that she saw him was two days ago, he was going over to his buddy's house to help him move around some furniture. I got a call out for the buddy, James Sparks. He should be here around 1. You can start on the computer work until then"
"Gotcha boss man" said Veronica
"Oh and Veronica" said Eric "Congratulations on getting married, you and your husband should come over and have dinner with my wife and I"
"Thanks, and we will sounds great!" said Veronica with a slight blush
Logan walked up to the elevator at the FBI headquarters. He was bringing Veronica lunch. She had called earlier in the day and said she was swamped and asked him to meet her at the office for lunch.
"Hello Carla" Logan says as he walks past the receptionist on Veronica's floor
"Good Afternoon, Mr. Echolls. Agent Mars is in her office" said Carla
"Thanks, but it is Agent Echolls now, we have been married for a few weeks now" said Logan
"Oh, Im sorry, Ill take note of that and congratulations" said Carla "Agent Echolls, your husband is coming in now" said Carla as she pages Veronica
"Ok, thanks Carla" said Veronica as she cleans off her desk
Logan walks into Veronica's office and sweeps her off of her feet into a passionate kiss. Eric walks by and stares for a few seconds before he clears his throat. "Echolls…. Get back to work"
Veronica breaks away from Logan and immediately turns red. "Sorry, Agent Daniels. Ill get back to work" said Veronica
"This must be your husband." Said Eric as he shakes Logan's hand. "Im Eric Daniels, Veronica's supervisor. Its really nice to meet you"
"Logan Echolls, it is nice to meet you as well" said Logan
"Well, I will let you get back to work Echolls, and remember what I said about dinner" said Eric as he walks out of Veronica's office
Veronica, face still a little flushed, sits in her chair and grabs for the containers of her lunch that Logan brought for her. He brought Chinese take out.
"So what was that about?" asks Logan "Did he ask you out for dinner?"
"What! Why would you think that?" asks Veronica
"Well, the shade of magenta on your face and the awkwardness in the conversation lead me to think that you have a crush on him, and he on you" screamed Logan "I thought you would have known that, I learned all of my investigative skills from you"
"For your information, jackass, he asked both of us to dinner with his wife and three kids" screamed Veronica "So no, I do not have a crush on him, he is my boss. I love you and you know that "
"Oh… I didn't realize" muttered Logan "Im sorry I accused you"
"It's ok. So do you wanna go to dinner with them?" asked Veronica
"Sure thing. It can't hurt to make some friends that we haven't known since high school" said Logan "Lets eat, before the food gets cold"
"Ok, so hows work?" asks Veronica as she eats an egg roll
"It sucks, being an accountant is the most boring job ever. I never get to talk to people, I hate it. Im thinking about changing departments" said Logan as he eats his stir fry
"To what?" asks Veronica
"Im thinking PR" said Logan " I have always been good at talking and covering up my own messes, so who says I cannot coverup other peoples messes?"
"I think you would be good at that, you are awesome at covering shit up" said Veronica
"Why thank you my love. So when are you going to get together with your mom?" asks Logan "or are you just going to ignore this situation?"
"I have so much on my plate right now, this case is huge and needs to be solved like two weeks ago" said Veronica " and not to mention the possibility of junior here. I think that I will see if I can get through all of this and then see if I can deal with my mom."
"Aww … Junior, I cant believe that we might be having our first child in nine monthes. This is crazy!" said Logan with a slight tear in his eye
"I know Logan. Oh crap… I have an interrogation in fifteen minutes. We'd better scarf this down fast" said Veronica
She and Logan ate quickly. Logan left and promised to meet her at Keith and Alicia's later that night for dinner. At 1 she wandered into the interrogation room.
"Hello, Mr. Sparks, I am Veronica Echolls" said Veronica as she shakes James's hand
"Nice to meet you, so whats going on?" asks James
"Well, its your friend Sean Diamond. His wife reported him missing and the last time she saw him, he was heading over to your house" says Veronica " What went on at your house?"
"He was coming over to help me move my new entertainment center. We went out to lunch after" said James
"Did anything strange happen at the restaurant?" asks Veronica
"I never said we ate at a restaurant" said James
"Well where did you eat?" asks Veronica
"Great Thighs" said James
"Oh… that trashy strip joint that serves fried chicken" said Veronica disgusted "When was the last time that you saw Sean?"
"I left the club and Sean was walking out the door with one of the dancers." Said James
"What did she look like?" asks Veronica
"Tall, skinny, blonde. She looked about 35. Her stage name was Foxy Mama" said James
"Thank you Mr. Sparks. Do me a favor and don't skip town until I find your buddy" said Veronica as she gets up and walks out the door
She walks up to Eric's desk "The last time the buddy saw him, he was leaving with a stripper, Im going to talk to her" said Veronica as she grabs her keys and walks out the door .
"How tawdry" said Veronica to herself as she gets out of the car and walks into Great Thighs. She goes straight in and asks the first slutty lady where she could find the manager. She points to the sign that says Back Room.
Veronica walks back into the back room and sees a man who looks like a cross of Al Pacino and Flava Flav "Are you the manager?" she asks
"Why? Do you want a job?" asks the creepster
"No, Im with the FBI, and I need to ask one of your dancers a question" said Veronica as she shows the man her badge
"Alright Alright, I mean no harm, which of the ladies are you looking for?" asks the man
"My source says she goes by 'Foxy Mama'" said Veronica
"Oh yeah, she's tending the bar tonight. I just ask that you don't kill any of my ladies" said the man
"I promise I wont kill her, unless I feel like it" Said Veronica as she walks to the bar
The woman at the bar is facing away from Veronica
"Excuse me Miss 'Foxy Mama', Im with the FBI and I need to ask you a few questions" said Veronica
The woman turns around "Veronica" she says
"Mom, what are you doing here?"she asks
"Im not what you think. Im just a bartender" says Lianne defensively
"I don't care, I am here for business" says Veronica as her FBI training comes in
"Ok, but you need to listen to me, I am not the bad guy" said Lianne
"I understand. I need for you to answer all of my questions truthfully if you ever want a chance at a relationship with me" says Veronica
"I understand, Ill answer your questions" said Lianne
" This man should have passed through a couple days ago" Veronica shows Lianne Sean's picture "Do you recognize him?"
"Oh yeah. He's a regular; he comes in with his buddy. They look but don't touch if you know what I mean" says Lianne
"Really, my source says that he saw him leave with you that night" said Veronica
"He was helping me fix a flat tire" said Lianne "I promise, you can ask Maria she rode home with me that night. Here is her number" said Lianne as she hands Veronica a cocktail napkin
"Thanks, don't skip town, I might have more questions for you" said Veronica
"Ok, Veronica, can we get together sometime like you said at the wedding?" asks Lianne
"I don't know mom, I really don't know." Said Veronica "Ill let you know if I wanna talk"
Veronica and Logan just left Keith and Alicia's
"I have something to tell you. I know you would never tell anyone, but this breaks FBI laws, so you cannot tell a soul what I am about to tell you." Said Veronica
"I promise I wont tell anyone" said Logan
"Ok, so that major case I was working today lead me to a strip club" said Veronica
"Oh no… you turned into a lesbian on me didn't you" joked Logan
"No. I saw my mom" said Veronica
"Oh on the way?" asks Logan
"No, she is a stripper at the strip club" said Veronica
"What are you gonna do?" asks Logan
"I don't wanna deal with her anymore. I told her that I would call her if I wanted to talk" said Veronica
"Good for you" said Logan "We have too much to worry about with junior here anyway"
"I know" said Veronica
Ring…Ring…Ring…
"Hello" said Veronica
"Hi, Echolls. Its Eric Daniels" said Eric
"Whatcha need Daniels" asked Veronica
"Its about the Diamond case. You can quit your investigating. He killed himself. We found the note. I hope you didn't waste too much of your time" said Eric
"That's horrible. Thanks for calling" said Veronica as she hangs up the phone
"That was Eric. The guy I've been looking for committed suicide" said Veronica
"Im sorry babe" said Logan
"Its ok. Let's just go home" said Veronica
Logan and Veronica are waiting very impatiently in the waiting room at the doctors office
"Whats taking them so long. Its been 20 minutes" said Logan
"Echolls" said the nurse
"See what happens when you complain" said Logan with a smile
"Follow me" said the nurse
Veronica and Logan follow the nurse into the waiting room. She takes some blood and said the results should be back in 20 minutes
"Again with the waiting." Said Logan
Just as Logan says that the doctor come in to talk to the couple
"Hello, I am Dr. Johnson. I was wondering if I could talk to the two of you" said Dr. Johnson
"Sure, what would you like to know?" asks Veronica
"Tell me about the two of you" said the Dr.
"Well, we known each other since we were seven. We got married about 3 weeks ago. I am an accountant, and Veronica works at the FBI." Says Logan
"That's great, so is this possible pregnancy planned or a surprise?' asks the Dr.
"Defiantly. We have wanted kids for a while now, but we wanted to wait until we got married" said Veronica
"And how long has it been since your last menstruation?" asks the doctor
Veronica pulls out her pocket calendar and counts "34 days" said Veronica
"Ok, well that information along with your positive home test indicates that there is a very big possibility that you are pregnant. Ill go check on your results" said the Dr.
Ten minutes later the doctors comes in "Veronica, you are pregnant"
Both Logan and Veronica jump up and hug each other and the doctor.
"Congratulations. Just go up front and they will take care of the billing and get you set up with your first check up" said the Dr as he walks out the door
"We are having a baby!" said Logan "We have to tell everyone!"
"I think we should have a party. Your birthday is next week. We can tell them then" said Veronica as she kisses Logan
"I Love You" they both say in unison
