The Talk
Rory walked into the door of the condo to find Logan on the phone.
"Yea, Finn I'm sure, she just walked in the door," he said.
"I gotta go she is giving me that look."
He hung up to hug and kiss her as she came in the door.
"Logan we need to have a talk."
"Sure Ace, what about?"
"I don't want us to have sex again until we are married, there I said it,"
Logan looked at her for a very long time.
"If that's what you want," he said.
"But consider why we first began to make love," he added as he sat close to her on the sofa.
He ran his hand down her face.
"Because we're in love."
"I know Logan, but lately I have felt uneasy about it," she said.
"Do you think we are pregnant?" he asked.
She moved closer to him and smiled.
"No, we are not pregnant, but I love that you said we."
They kissed.
"Will be man and wife forever in four months, I can wait if you can," he said.
"So what did Finn want?" she asked.
"No changing the subject, Ace."
"Logan, being married is a special relationship and I am starting to believe that sex should be within that relationship only."
"Ace, we already live together, emotionally we are married, how is a piece of paper going to give us permission to have sex?"
Rory looked at her hands and fiddled with her engagement ring.
"I know you recently had to take a religious studies class, and I respect that some of that has rubbed off on you; but whether or not we make love isn't going determine whether I love you or not. But, if we decide this there is no turning back," he added.
Rory didn't decide what she wanted to do right away. After dinner they watched a bit of television before bed and studied for finals. When Logan went to bed Rory stayed up for a while thinking. A little later she went in the bedroom and sat on the bed. Logan was awake and he looked as her she seemed so sad and unsure of herself; so unlike the Rory he loved so desperately.
"Sex isn't just for pleasure but to make babies," she said with conviction.
"If we aren't making babies' maybe we are just being selfish by wanting only the pleasure we can get from it," she added.
"I want babies," he said.
He pulled her in the bed with him and held her.
"Ace, you're really over thinking this, I'm not going anywhere and we are committed to one another; being inside you is part of being with you for me, and I thought you felt the same way."
"I did I mean I do, I'm sorry I brought this up, I don't doubt how you feel at all and I do love you; forget what I said earlier, the more I think about the more I realize not having sex won't matter its where we are in this relationship that matters."
"Well, you may have a point I have been thinking tonight too."
"Stop it Logan I know you are just kidding me," she said lying on top of him as he laughed while she tickled him.
Making love was more special than usual that night especially for Logan who had never been a committed relationship before and was having doubts of his own. He wanted to be a good fiancé and a wonderful husband to Rory; but sometimes women were just too confusing to try and figure out. Of course, he was glad she changed her mind.
