AN: Hi, so this is my first fanfic, I hope you like it and remember to review. This is story is very AU where Rory is a lawyer at the Hayden firm. Lorelai and Chris got married when she got pregnant and still raised Rory in stars hollow. However, she had contact with both sets of grandparents and has a good relationship with Straub since he acted as her mentor at the firm. She went to Yale but never got to know Logan since she wasn't the paper and in need of help for her article. Everything else is pretty much the same including her past love life with Dean and Jess but after things ended with Dean the last time she stopped dating all together with the exception of a few one-night stands in recent years. This is a Rogan because I love them together and yeah so I hope you like it!

When Rory Hayden woke up that morning this was not how she expected the day to go. So far nothing had gone wrong, while it is a good surprise, it is a surprise nonetheless and normally at this point in the day something had been messed up. Just as she expected about 5 minutes later, the mistake showed up in her office. Her assistant informed her that one of the junior lawyers for the firm was unable to handle the Huntzberger Publishing case. Great she thought now I have to handle a frivolous libel case because Parker didn't show up for work.
She left the office a half hour later, now fully briefed on the case. The got in the town car waiting for her outside the office. Normally she preferred to drive herself but she had to go over notes in the car. As she read over the file, she absentmindedly thought over the last year. She had been made senior partner at Hayden and Associates Law Firm after her grandfather, Straub retired in February. It meant a lot of hard work and not much of a personal life, unless you count movie nights with her mother and Lane. As much as she loved hanging out with them they could hardly be considered a social life for a 28 year old woman. It felt like she didn't have a life outside work but she didn't have the time or opportunity to meet someone.
The car pulled up to Huntzberger Publish Group headquarters where the meeting was being held. The driver came around and opened her door. "Thank you Lenny," she said as she stepped out. Lenny had been chauffeuring for the Hayden's and by extension, Rory for almost 25 years now and knew the family well. "You're welcome Miss Rory," he replied with a tip of his hat.
She walked through the large glass door that was held open by the doorman. Her black pumps clicked on the tile floors of the lobby, she was wearing a pleated navy blue skirt that hugged her legs and curves perfectly and matched the navy blue blazer she wore with it. She got several looks and stares from men in the building but she was used to it and ignored them. She stepped into the elevator where she was met with a pair of warm brown eyes, an irresistible smirk, and amazingly messy blonde hair. Here comes trouble.
