I will always love you!
Chapter 1: Is she really mine?
AN: Hi, this is my very first fanfiction. If my spelling sucks blame it on the fact that I don't have English as my first language, it's not spoken in my country at all; we just learn it at school. Please review… I'll give you another chapter if you do
Oh, and I don't own Gilmore girls…
Rory was sitting in her office at the New York Times; she had just finished her latest article, and was looking around her office. She stopped when her eyes reached the pictures hanging on the wall behind the couch. There were at least 20 framed pictures hanging there, each and everyone of a little baby girl, her baby girl…At that exact moment the door to her office flung open and a blond two year old ran in.
"Mommy!" Rory got up from her chair and picked up the little girl.
"Hey honey! Was Grandma nice to you today?"
"Are you implying that am not a nice grandma?" Lorelai said as she entered her daughter's office.
"Of course not, I'm just asking her that to find out what you did today" Rory said.
"I know that honey, just playing with your mind." Lorelai said and turned her attention to the little girl on Rory's arm.
"Ella, Grandma have to go home to Grandpa Luke now, can I get a goodbye kiss?" she asked.
"Yes you can" Ella said and kissed Lorelai's cheek.
"Bye mom, thanks for the help. Love you." Rory said and hugged her mother.
"Anytime hun, see you later." Lorelai said and left the office. Lorelai had helped Rory a lot after Ella was born; it was hard for Rory to accept the fact that Ella's father wouldn't be there to see Ella grow up. She had sent him letter upon letter telling him that she was pregnant and about Ella after she was born, but she didn't get any answers indicating that he wanted to participate in their lives.
"Ella? What do you want for dinner today?"
"Mmmh… Chinese, please…?" Ella asked and gave Rory her best Bambi eyes.
"Chinese it is." Rory laughed and sat Ella down, so she could put on her coat. She grabbed her purse with one hand and Ella's hand with the other.
"Let's go!" she said and locked the office door. The two Gilmore Girls walked hand in hand down the hallway, when they got to the elevator they met Rory's boss, Harry Johnson.
"Hello girls" He said when he saw them.
"Hey Harry" Rory said.
"Rory I was actually looking for you, I just wanted to say goodbye."
"Goodbye? Are you leaving?"
"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow. So you'll get a new boss, but don't worry I told them what a good reporter you are, so I don't think you need to worry about being fired."
"Thanks Harry, that means a lot. I'm going to miss you though. Do you know who our new boss is?" she asked.
"No I don't. He's coming from California, that's all I know. I have to go now. Bye girls." Harry said and hugged both of them.
"Bye"
Rory walked into her office at 08.00 the next morning. She sat down in her chair and checked her phone for any messages. There was one, Rory pushed a button and her friend Carrie's voice filled the room.
"Hey! I saw our new boss today; he's one good looking man! Anyway staff meeting at 08.30, just brief introductions and stuff. See you then. Bye"
Rory looked at her clock, 08.15. Plenty of time to get a cup of coffee. She walked into the conference room at 08.25, and sat down next to Carrie.
"So what do we know about this guy? Except that he is gorgeous…" she asked Carrie.
"Nothing else. So you got my message, huh?"
"Yep, so we don't even have a name for the guy?" Rory said.
"No, no name."
Suddenly the room fell quiet and a guy walked in. Rory couldn't see his face because tall Jenny was sitting in front of her. But the minute he spoke, Rory didn't need to see his face to know who he was. She knew that voice, and she knew it well.
"Ok, hello everybody. I'm your new boss and my name is…"
"Logan" Rory whispered, she didn't mean for anyone to hear, but Carrie did.
"How the hell did you know that?" Carrie asked, but Rory didn't listen, all she could think about was the fact that Logan was her new boss, and all the complications that would bring.
"Could the editor/writer please come and join me on the stage?" Logan said.
'Oh no' Rory thought, but she didn't have a choice, so she stood up and walked towards the stage. Logan had his back turned towards her, so she decided to make the best of things and joke a little.
"Hello Master and Commander!" she said, and Logan turned around…
"Ace…" he said quietly. They locked eyes, and none of them noticed the rest of the room had fallen completely silent.
"Logan, what did you want to say?" Rory asked
"I…I just…I just wanted to say that you are a great editor, but as it turns out, I already knew that." Rory smiled, Logan had obviously not expected to see her there, and it was kind of fun to see him twitch.
"Thank you. Can I go now?"
"Yes you can, and Ace… I'll step by your office later today."
"Oh, ok." She said and walked towards her chair. The meeting continued, but Rory didn't pay any attention to what was said.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in" Rory softly said.
"Hey Ace." Logan's voice filled the office. Rory lifted her head and looked straight at him.
"Hey Logan" Logan walked in and sat down on the couch. Rory held her breath when he walked past the photographs of Ella, but he didn't even look at them.
"So how have you been Ace?" Logan asked. Rory was getting angry now, he asked how SHE was, what about his daughter, did he care about her at all?
"How have I been Logan? You should know that, I've sent you at least a hundred letters this past three years. What about the little girl on the wall behind you, don't you wonder how she is? Don't you!" she was yelling now, and Logan looked like he had just fallen from the moon.
"Rory! What the hell are you talking about? Witch letters? How should I know how she is..." he was interrupted by the ringing of Rory's phone. She took a deep breath to calm down, and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"She did what!"
"OH MY GOD! Is she ok?"
"Where is she?"
"I'll be right there. If she wakes up tell her that mommy will be right there, and that I love her. Bye." Rory hung up the phone, and turned towards Logan who looked at her with a concerned look on his face.
"What's wrong Ace?"
"I have to go… my daughter's in the hospital" she tried to hold back the tears, but it was impossible. Logan saw how upset she was, and suddenly the fight they just had, and the years without speaking to each other didn't matter anymore. All that mattered was that Rory's daughter was in the hospital, when Rory had gotten a daughter he did not know, and right now he didn't care. He walked up to her, put his arms around her and hugged her tight.
"It's going to be all right. Where is she?"
"Why do you ask?" Rory said between sobs.
"Because you are not driving in this condition, I don't want you to end up in the hospital as well."
"She's at New York children Hospital."
"Ok let's go then." Logan said and grabbed Rory's hand. The drive to the hospital was silent. When they finally got there Rory almost ran inside.
"Can I help you miss?" the woman at the reception asked when Rory and Logan entered.
"Yes, I'm looking for my daughter."
"What's her name?" the lady asked.
"Her name is Lorelai Elizabeth Gilmore Huntzberger, but she goes by Ella Gilmore."
Logan stopped dead in his tracks at mention of Ella's last name, was she his daughter? Suddenly everything made sense. That was why Rory was so mad at him, but she never told him…letters, Rory kept talking about letters. He needed to talk to her, but right now he needed to find his daughter and make sure she was all right. They followed the nurse through a corridor, and stopped in front of a door with a big Winnie the Pooh sticker on it.
"She's in here Miss Gilmore. She's conscious, but she's sleeping, I'm sure she will wake up any time. Have you been informed about how she ended up here?" the nurse asked.
"Yes I have, but I don't know exactly what's wrong with her." Rory said.
"She has a concussion, and cut in her forehead. But she will make a full recovery in a few days time. I'm sorry but I have to get back now. Will you two be ok?"
"Yeah we will" It was the firs thing Logan had said since they had entered the hospital. The nurse turned and started to walk in the opposite direction.
"Are you ready to open that door Rory?" Logan asked.
"Not really, she's my baby girl Logan; I don't want to see her hurt. She's too small to be in a hospital bed."
"Just open the door Ace; I'm sure she's all right, come on…" Logan grabbed Rory's hand, and opened the door. The sight in front of him almost brought tears to his eyes, in one of the hospital cribs a little blond girl slept peacefully with a bandage around her head. If you took away the blond hair she was an exact copy of Rory only smaller. Rory let go of Logan's hand and walked up to the bed. She took the little girl's hand in her own and stroke her thumb over it.
"Rory? Is she really my daughter?" Logan asked quietly.
"Yes, I've sent you pictures and letters since I found out I was pregnant…"
"Rory…I didn't get a single letter"
"What! How can that be?"
"This is a wild shot, but you know that all my mail goes through my dad's office. You think he can have, you know sorted out the letters from you?"
"Oh my god, can he do that? I'm so sorry…I should have followed you to California and told you face to face like I wanted to."
"I'm glad you didn't. Do you know why?" Rory shook her head.
"If you did, my father would have ruined your career, that's why I left you know. He threatened to ruin your career, so I did as I was told, left for California. I'm guessing dad is trying to make it up to me now."
"How?" Rory asked.
"He was the one who transferred me to the New York Times." Logan said. Suddenly Ella stirred in her bed.
"Mommy!" she cried.
"Mommy's here sweetheart." Rory said.
"Aw in the head"
"I know sweetie. Try to sleep, it will help, I promise." Rory said.
Logan stood there watching Rory and Ella, and suddenly an idea popped into his head.
"Rory, I'll be right back." Logan said and walked out of the hospital room. He walked to the little toy shop outside the hospital.
"Can I help you Mr?" The woman behind the counter asked.
"Yes, do you have a Baby Born doll?"
"Yes, around that corner you'll find dolls and clothes." She said.
"Thank you." Logan walked to the doll section and picked out one Baby Born doll, a couple of outfits, and a firs aid kit.
Twenty minutes later he walked back into Ella's room, Ella was still awake, but she was sitting in Rory's lap now.
"Hey girls!"
"Logan what did you buy?" Rory asked.
"I just bought Ella a present" He said, and sat the huge present on the bed.
"Oh my god Logan! What did you buy?" she asked shocked, and sat Ella down on the bed.
"Open it Ella, it's for you" Logan said.
"Mine?" Ella asked.
"Yes, now open it" Rory said. Ella ripped the paper off and looked at Rory with big blue eyes.
"Mommy!"
"Logan you really didn't have to give her anything"
"I know, but I wanted to. I haven't given her anything, so this seemed like the perfect time for her firs gift." Logan said and smiled.
"Mommy look! Baby's head hurt too."
Rory smiled and looked at Logan. She was so happy that he was finally a part of their lives.
"Rory…Rory… wake up. You can't sleep like that" Logan said and shook a sleeping Rory. She had fallen asleep in a chair with her head resting in Ella's bed.
"Come on" he said, grabbed Rory's hand and led her to the cough in the corner. He sat down, placed a pillow in his lap and patted it to make Rory put her head there. Rory was too tired to even think about what she was doing, she just lied down in Logan's lap.
Logan on the other hand was wide awake, he had a family, he had a daughter, and right now he had Rory in his arms again. What more could he possibly want?
"I love you Rory Gilmore" Logan whispered and kissed her forehead, he thought she was asleep, so he was startled when she replied.
"I love you too Logan Huntzberger"
"Shhh, go back to sleep" he whispered.
