The intricate design of the black and gold gates marked the entrance to the manor. Luscious paths and gardens surrounded the road leading uphill to where the restaurant was located. On the top of the hill you could see an intimidating old manor with gigantic wooden double doors, and on them complex patterns made out mostly of swirls and figures. Stepping through the doors the ambiance changed completely. From a creepy old house to a modern reception. The room was cream white with sleek leather furniture and modern paintings. The dim lighting inside the restaurant being a stark contrast to the sun shining bright outside, halfway on its journey across the sky. On the background you could hear Beethoven's Für Elise. However, this did nothing to ease Rory Gilmore's unease. Wearing a light blue cocktail dress that complemented her bright blue eyes, all she could think about was how this dress wouldn't be able to fit her much longer. Sitting on one of the leather chairs she couldn't help but dread the conversation that was bound to happen after the news she had for her date.
Rory waited anxiously for her date to arrive as she mentally rehearsed how she was going tell him the news. She knew that when she had called him saying that she needed to talk to him, he was surprised to say the least. After their goodbye almost two months ago, it was implied that it was the last time that they were going to see each other seeing that his wedding would be in a few months. She had planned to move on with her life. To forget him and continue to write her book, not needing any of the drama that often came hand in hand with Logan Huntzberger. When she got sick almost a month after he left she thought nothing of it. She had thought that it was just a bug. But when she still had the bug three weeks later, her mom had recommended that she went to the doctors, where she was told she was pregnant. Where she was told that she had a bug that would stay with her for the next nine months. To say she was shocked and afraid was putting it lightly; she had no stable job and the father of her baby was engaged to be married in just a couple of months.
She had contemplated not telling, just raising the baby on her own, not ruining the dynasty plan that his parents had planned for him. But then, she remembered Luke, her stepfather, and how upset he was when he found out that he had a 12 year-old daughter that he didn't know about and whose life before that moment he hadn't had the opportunity to be a part of. She quickly dismissed the idea. Then she heard a voice ask her something.
"Excuse me?", che asked not hearing what the waiter said before.
"Would you like to order anything?", asked the waiter again.
"Just a glass of water, please. I'm waiting for someone," responded Rory
The waiter went to get her glass of water, meanwhile she just sat there and waited for Logan to arrive.
