Chapter 14: Logan Echolls and Moving Day

Veronica sighed as she watched Weevil and her dad carry a couple more of her boxes out to the loading van, she was almost done moving with everything that needed to go with her. Grabbing the last box in her room she headed down to the van smiling as she listened to her dad lecture Weevil on the things he was not allowed to do.

"Protection, always use it. I don't care if she's using birth control too. There will be no grandkids until you marry her. Do you understand me?" Keith's voice was so serious she had to stop herself from interfering. "Yes sir."

"And she spends one night a week here, with her old man. Daddy daughter time and there will be no interruptions." Weevil nodded his head as he pushed the box into the van. "Of course, we've already agreed that'll be my guy's night." Weevil said with a smirk. "And stay out of trouble." Rolling his eyes Weevil sighed. "I still work for you Keith, you'll get regular updates and you can visit. We're not moving to a different country…we'll still be in Neptune." Veronica chuckled. "My daughter, the light of my life is moving out. Let me list my rules." Weevil held his hands up in surrender. "Okay, you can list them all on the way there." "Excellent."

Setting her box into the van Veronica leaned over and kissed Weevil on the cheek. "I have to stop at the drug store for a couple of things, so I will meet you at home okay?" She said receiving a nod from him. "Alright, hey can you pick up some pop while you're there? And maybe some snacks." Veronica nodded giving her dad a hug. "Will do, meet you guys there." Waving them off she headed to her own car was filled with the more fragile things.

Parking at the drug store was crazy and Veronica ended up having to wait for a space to open before she could park which took up more time then she'd wanted to spend, after all she didn't want the guys to do all the work. Grabbing her wallet and keys she locked the doors and headed inside, going over the list she had made on her phone she ended up walking right into someone. "Damn, sorry…" "Shouldn't you watch where you're going?" A familiar voice said making her head jerk up. "Logan." He was the last person she had expected to see.

"Veronica."

"It's good to see you looking well." She said not sure if she was supposed to just leave or if they were going to talk and catch up. "You do too, how was your summer?" "It was really good actually, yours?"

"It was good, Parker Dick and I took a trip." Logan said walking with her as she grabbed a basket, she had a short list of things she needed to get but she quickly looked it over again. "That's cool, where did you guys go?" Veronica asked she was being polite because really she just wanted to get home. "Just a surfing trip, so you know we hit the big beaches."

She nodded again as she grabbed some Tylenol tossing it into the basket, next on her list was feminine products tossing them into the basket she looked up when she realized Logan asked her a question. "Sorry, what?" "I asked what you did this summer." "Oh I was in Washington, FBI internship." He nodded his head. "Right I think Mac mentioned that."

She frowned at all the options for chips they had not sure what she should get, Wallace like Doritos, her dad like BBQ and Weevil would eat any of them but plain. Grabbing both kinds she put them into the basket. "Planning a party?" He asked as he grabbed his own bag of chips. "Not really, just feeding the masses, moving isn't fun and well hungry guys is even less fun." Veronica said as she reached for a bottle of coke. "Moving? You and the sheriff finally moving up in the world." Logan asked making her scowl slightly before smiling sweetly. "No dad is staying in our old apartment, I'm moving in with my boyfriend."

She didn't need to say who she was dating, he knew. Everyone she went to high school knew who she was dating; not to mention that he had been pissed she'd gotten back with Weevil when he'd been released. "Wait, that's hilarious you're moving in with Paco? Didn't think you were that serious about him, and his roaches."

"Stop, either call him Weevil or his first name." Veronica snapped not in the mood for his attitude today. "And not that it's any of your business, we're renting a house." Setting her items onto the counter she didn't wait to see if he was going to respond done with the conversation. Paying she grabbed her bags and headed out to the car, not stopping when she heard her name. "Veronica wait." Putting her bags in the back seat she ignored Logan, even as he approached her. "Look I'm sorry okay, it was just a shock to hear that you're moving in with Weevil." "I'm not interested in your apology Logan, they've never held much weight." She said as she closed the door and pulled open the driver's side. "I know, but I mean. Parker is always telling me, I have to watch what I say." "Clearly it's not working."

"Look I just wasn't expecting it, I never thought you two would last let alone end up moving in together." Veronica sighed and slipped her key into the ignition. "Yeah well stranger things have happened." She said with a shrug. "No I'm pretty sure after you and Duncan, that you switching it up and dating Weevil was the strangest thing to happen." Raising a brow she leaned back in her seat. "How was it all that strange?" Veronica asked trying to keep the conversation civil. "Oh come on, you went from Duncan Kane to Weevil." She gave him a look that basically screamed 'What's your point.' "Million dollar good boy to the leader of a biker gang. Not to mention you were all private eye problem solver, it just didn't seem to match."

Okay so she guessed she could see where he was coming from with that, when they first got together neither of them had been sure it would work out, but it had and then he'd been phased out of the PCHer's and things had been a little easier. "And I might still be a little pissed that nothing happened between us after he was arrested." Veronica shook her head. "I told you then, I love him and that hasn't changed. Weevil compliments me in ways no one else can." She said honestly. "We balance each other out." Logan sighed as he leaned against her car. "I'll never get it, but I guess I don't have too."

Veronica nodded her head. "No you don't, I have to go though. It was…good to see you again, say hi to Parker for me." Logan nodded his head and pushed away from her car as she pulled the door closed and started the engine. Even as she pulled out of the parking lot she could see him standing there for a moment before he headed to his own car. By the time she reached the house, the boys were basically done, which made sense since she didn't have all that much stuff…though her dad had helped them get a new couch which was still sitting in the van. "I brought snacks and ordered a pizza on the way home." She said earning a bunch of happy grunts.

"Babe, can you help Mac move boxes into the spare room so we can bring the couch in?" Veronica nodded as she grabbed the snacks and a box from her own car. "Consider them moved." She said as she headed into the house. Together they had everything out of the way for the couch by the time the boys were ready to move it in, and when that was the pizza was there.

Later.

All in all the entire process had been really easy and aside from unpacking which she was doing tomorrow the day had been pretty flawless. "What are you thinking?" Weevil asked as they laid in bed her head on his chest and his arm around her. "Just that today went really good, and you handled my dad like a champ." She said with a grin. "Yeah well he's you're dad, and he still scares me." Veronica laughed softly. "He really does like you." "I know he does." Weevil said with a yawn. "I'm beat babe, you ready to sleep?" He asked reaching for the light switch. "I suppose, I'm pretty tired too."

Their room went dark as the light was flicked off, strong arms pulled her closer and she curled into his body, legs tangling. "You know this is my first night in the house where I won't be going home in the morning because I'm already home." His sigh spoke volumes, as did the way he pulled her even closer to him. "I know, welcome home baby." It was Veronica's turn to sigh happily as she allowed herself to drift off into sleep.
