The alarm rang at 7:30, and groans could be heard from under the covers. A hand reached out to shut off the alarm. When the beeping stopped, the blankets moved and Logan nudged Rory to get up.
"Ace come on, get up, its Friday tomorrow we can sleep."
"No don't want to move!"
"please." He was now centimeters from her face. When she opended her eyes she could do nothing but smile.
"What do I get if I get out of this nice warm bed?"
"Well you'll have to see for yourself." He said with a smirk, as he got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. She got up to follow him.
"You know this is your fault, we should have gotten the other bed that wasn't so damn comfortable, and then we wouldn't have this problem every morning."
Logan could just smile; she was always debating even if it was 7:30 in the morning.
"Well if my little work dork wasn't up every night rewriting her already perfect article then she wouldn't be so tired.
"Hand me the toothpaste please:
"Here"
"Thank you, but you are biased my articles are far from perfect."
"Well you are a damn good writer, and everyone can see it"
She smiled he new just how to make her feel better no matter what.
"I'm taking my shower now," Rory said while undressing.
Logan was amazed at how amazing she still looked when she woke up. Even after 6 years together she still took his, breathe away. He leaned over and kissed her.
"I am going to make coffee and breakfast. I love you"
"Love you too"
Logan walked downstairs to make coffee. It was their morning routine, she would shower he would make coffee and breakfast. They would eat and read the paper, and then they would both go upstairs to get ready for work. She would be blow-drying her hair while he was in the shower. They would be finished around the same time, and then they would take their coffees to go and get in the car.
Rory had been a reporter at the Stamford Eagle Gazette after Yale and before they got married. She still wrote an article in at least one paper a week, but together Rory and Logan ran Huntzberger publishing group. Right before Rory had graduated Mitchum suffered a heart attack, so Logan left NY moved to Hartford and took over the company. Before Rory and Logan were married, Logan gave Rory the option to help run the company, as his equal partner, it was optional, up to Rory. She made her pro con list, and the biggest pro was one Logan had pointed out, that if they both ran the company there would not be too much held on Logan shoulder meaning he would never be Mitchum. He would have time to bake his kids a birthday cake and tuck them in at night, and as corny, as it sounded it was the life they both wanted.
So today, Rory and Logan walked into the office hand in hand like every other day. But today is special it is the day before Christmas Eve, and the first snow hadn't come.
"Good morning Mr. & Mrs. Huntzberger" Eileen the 65 year old secretary said
"Morning Eileen" Logan said and kissed Rory goodbye.
"The meeting is at 10 so I will see you at 9:45 for coffee"
"Sounds good,"
"So Eileen any new pictures of the grandkids?"
"Yes see this is from my daughter Mary in Boston. The one on the right is Connor, then
Maureen, then James; they are coming to Harford tomorrow. Patrick my son, who lives in
Hartford, says they should be coming today."
"Well they have grown so much. I will see you later."
Rory walked into her office it was a homey office. Lorelai helped her decorate it. The office was a deep purple, with antique furniture they had bought from Mrs. Kim. There were pictures all over, mainly of her and Logan; there were pictures from Starshollow, her mom, Luke, dad and sister. But her favorite picture was her wedding picture on her desk. She wore a whit silk and chiffon dress, form Vera Wang. It was from Miss Celine's collection. Her hair was in loose cascading curls. Rory had grown her hair for the wedding, and the infamous Gilmore tiara was placed on her head. Logan wore his tailored Armani tuxedo with a wine red cumber bun to match the bridesmaid dresses. In the photo, they were seated on a bench in the backyard of the Dragonfly holding each other's hand, their foreheads touching, and looking into each other's eyes. It January 21, 2010 and it was the first snowfall of the year. It was her favorite picture because that one photo captured their undying love for one another. She looked at her clock and it read 9:35.
"Shit I have to make the coffee." She walked over to the coffee machine Logan had bought her when she redecorated the office.
Logan sat in his office going over the finding the papers for this mornings' meeting. His office was much different then Rory's his was mahogany and deep red. But he didn't really mind, he was only in there an hour a day. He spent most of the day out in meetings and at other papers in the area, or in Rory's office. He had a few pictures but one he would not trade for the world sat in the office. It was a picture take at his party before London. They were sitting and the couch locked in a kiss, Colin took it, he got it in London a week later, and new at that moment Rory was the one he was going to marry. He looked at his watch and it was 9:44
"Coffee time"
He
walked in the office like every other day, poured coffee, and sat
down next to Rory. Together they reviewed the notes. Today was the
meeting with Mr. Jones from the NY paper to review the production.
"Well they seem to be prospering."
"Yeah but they need more staff.
"We could always out source, you know put student bylines in, from Yale, Harvard. NYU…"
"Good thinking, I new you weren't my Ace for nothing."
"We need to tell him that today. I mean it's cheap for us but a great opportunity to the up and rising collegiate reporter."
The meetings wore down as the day progressed. It was three and everyone was packing up getting ready to go home for Christmas. Rory and Logan were no exception; they bid everyone a Merry Christmas before leaving. It was good to be the boss.
They were in their car on the way home when Logan asked "so Ace we done with the Christmas shopping?'
"NO"
Logan sighed, "Who did we forget?"
"Our soon to be niece or nephew"
"We should go now, to avoid the unavoidable crowd." Logan said in a melancholy voice
"Good thinking and Logan?"
"Yeah?"
"Our time will come, I promise," she said as she grabbed his hand
Rory and Logan parked the car and headed into Target. NO matter how much money they had, it was their favorite store. Logan grabbed Rory's hand as they walked into the store. They reached the baby section. Logan watched Rory as she put almost one of everything into the cart. He could not wait until it was time for their own baby. She was just so happy. They picked out a few toys and checked out.
When they got home, they went to their bedroom to change. Rory grabbed her jammie bottoms and Logan's sweatshirt
"You know Ace I may just spray you jammie draw with my cologne so you don't steal my clothes."
"It wouldn't be the same, and I don't steal I always return."
He loved getting her worked up truth was he could care less that she wore his sweatshirt but it was more fun this way. "I know." He kissed her "what do you want for diner?"
"Can we cook something?"
"You mean can I cook something?"
"Well that's just understood, you would think after almost 2 whole years of being married and dating 4 of years before would have taught you that by now"
"So how about grilled cheese and soup?"
"Sure, nothing can beat my Logan's grilled cheese, please don't tell Luke."
"Your secret is safe with me."
They walked down to the kitchen, it was much like Paula Deen's old one, and Rory wanted her kitchen to look like Paula Deen's. THEREFORE, when they bought this house in Hartford they redid the kitchen.
Rory was sitting at the island starring at her husband. Before she knew what she was doing, she began to ramble.
"Logan I want to have a baby, I stopped taking the pill last week, because you said that you want a baby when ever I am ready, and man I am ready. I wanted to be shopping for our baby today not Honor's. I want to be able to show Eileen our baby pictures. I want not only have pictures of us in our office but of our baby. I want this more than anything, more than Yale. I wan to wake up in the morning to…." She was now crying. Logan dropped the spatula and hugged her tightly.
"Rory I want it too, like you said our time will come. So we haven't been using any protection for the last week who knows, we had a lot of sex last week, who knows maybe we should go at it like rabbits." That part earned him a smack and a giggle
"No I want a child out of passion, and love." Rory said kissing him
"Do you realize how incredibly sexy you look with my sweatshirt on?"
"Don't I look better with it off though?" she said with an innocent voice while taking the sweatshirt off.
"Definitely" he said as they began to walk to the couch, knocking several things down on the way. Logan began to undo the drawstring on his sweatpants when he remembered.
"Shit"
"What" Rory said confused
"Dinner"
"It can wait" Rory said while kissing him
"No, it's burning"
"OH, go, go, go"
Rory heard muffled curses coming from the kitchen. When Logan came back he said "well I guess it's takeout tonight" Logan climbed back on the couch
"now where were we…"Rory met him half way with a kiss, sparks flew like it was their first time, Logan wrapped his arms around Rory's waist and began to stand up. She let out a groan when he broke contact; he picked her up and carried her up the stairs to their bedroom.
They lay in their bed tangled in their sheets cuddled together. Rory was the first to break the silence after catching her breathe.
"Amazing"
"It was better than that"
"Indescribable feeling that we have never felt before."
"yep, that sounds about right" Logan said with a smile on his face, he loved that even after 6 years, new experiences would occur, for them today was the first time they had another reason to have sex, it wasn't just for pleasure, it was to create a human being, a part of each of them.
"I'm hungry."
"As seeing dinner was ruined by our activities we must order in or would you like to take a little trip to Starshollow and eat at Luke's?"
"Yeah, yeah" she said like a five year old "but promise me two things Huntzberger, we mention to no one not even my mother about us trying for a baby, we can't give anyone false hope yet.'
"Sure, I was never comfortable talking about our sex life to your mother. And what is the second?"
"We keep ourselves G rated while at the diner; I do not need Luke sending death stares while we eat." Logan smiled "who me, I would never publicly turn things hot and heavy in public"
"Well then can you tell me why I felt hands traveling up and down my leg at the Inn on Thanksgiving that I was hijacked on my way to the bathroom…?"
"It must have been my evil twin"
"Sure' Rory said with a laugh "well lets get a move on it it's already 5:30."
"You know Ace we are getting old dinner before 7 on a Friday, and we have already had mind-blowing sex, and are rushing to a diner, do you think Luke will give us the early bird special?"
"No, we are still under 30"
