Ch.1

Rory stared out her bedroom window with tears in her eyes as she watched the rain fall freely to the ground outside. She wondered why life couldn't be as simple as the rain. If it was, she wouldn't be sitting there alone, in the dark, on a cold winter night in Stars Hollow.

Her mom was going to spend the night with Luke, which left Rory all by herself. She cried as her hand drifted to rest on her two-month-pregnant-belly. She thought of what to tell him, how to tell him when he came home in a few days, after he had been gone for almost two weeks. Would he be mad? Would he be happy? Despite all the uncertainty that lay ahead of her she knew one thing for certain. She knew that, while they were young, they were both deeply in love-and nothing could change that. That was one the one thing of which she was sure.

Logan loved her and she loved him. There was no question in her mind that Logan would remain by her side once she told him her news; he'd already told her he would always be by her side through the tough times and the good times. She just hoped this didn't ruin his plan to attend Yale and then go on to work as a journalist. Even though he planned to follow her she couldn't just let Logan give up his dreams because of their child.

As Rory continued to dwell on her future with Logan, a million thoughts raced through her mind. She took a sip of warm tea from her favorite mug- the action comforted her. About a week had passed since she found out she was pregnant. After doing the math, she figured she was about two months along. In one week winter break would be over and she would go back to school. She had a plan. She would finish her last year of high school then go on from there, with Logan by her side . She knew she would keep the baby regardless of Logan's plans; giving it away was not an option.

Logan's possible reactions never left the back of her mind, she wondered if she really knew what to expect from him. Deep in her heart she knew Logan would be there for her, she knew he wanted kids someday. They had talked about their future, while cuddled up together by a fire. She remembered that night so perfectly. There they were sitting by the fire all alone at Logan's house. His parents and sisters had gone to dinner in New York and were forced to stay the night in the City due to the snowstorm burying New England with the cold, white fluff. Rory and Logan had just returned from babysitting one of Logan's cousins. After all the screams and cries they endured from Logan's little cousin, Logan and Rory went straight back to Logan's place, in dire need of some quiet time.

Rory called Lorelai to tell her she would be staying with Stephanie. So as she sipped her coffee they talked about their eventful night of babysitting, and Rory asked him the question. "After tonight night do you think you will ever want kids?" It was meant to be playful but when Logan turned to look at her his brown eyes full of love.

"If they were with you, yes I would want kids. I would want them to come after you become journalist like you've always wanted." He stroked her face kissing her on the nose.

Rory looked at him as he heart melted. He wanted a future with her. The thought consumed her mind and tears glistened in her eyes. He planned on being with her forever.

It was then that Logan spoke again. "Isn't this a little soon to be talking about kids? I mean we are only in high school. I'm sorry if I scared you there, Rory."

"No Logan I asked and you gave me the answer I wanted. I want kids with you too." She smiled as she brought her lips to his.

Rory smiled at the memory and realized that their baby was conceived that very night.

The more she thought about it the less worried she became. She didn't care what anybody else thought about this as long as she, the baby, and Logan were happy. Sure, they were young and had four years of schooling ahead of them, but they could make it. Couldn't they?

She stood and walked over to her full length mirror. Her face looked terrible; it was blotchy from crying and her eyes were dark from lack of rest. She made her way back to bed and lay down, all the while staring at a picture of her and Logan as they kissed under the mistletoe the Christmas before. She knew she needed to get a hold of herself, but remembering that Logan was gone when she needed him so much made her heart break into a million pieces. She couldn't stop crying. Rory needed him and she missed him. Two weeks was long enough to be without him at any time, but way too long when she needed him the most.

After hours of thinking and crying, and dwelling she got up and took a long hot shower. She needed to cleanse her mind, to distract her from thinking of the baby growing inside her, and from Logan being so far away.

As hard she tried to get her mind to veer from these thoughts, they only consumed her more. She thought of her boyfriend, she had to admit that she never knew what love was until she met Logan. She'd never met anyone who could make her feel so alive the way Logan did; how he made her feel happy, and how he could read her like a book. Dean was nothing compared Logan

Rory dated Dean for about a year during eighth grade. He was her first boyfriend. She broke up with him because Dean was too controlling, and way too jealous of her friends. From the start Dean and Logan hated each other. Dean thought of Logan as a spoiled, rich, boy who only used people to get what he wanted; and Logan thought of Dean as a controlling jerk.

Logan was right, of course, but Dean's behavior was just plain wrong. Her relationship with Logan was so much more than she'd ever known with Dean. He actually loved her while Dean thought of her as some sort of possession. With Logan, there was no questioning as to what they felt for each other. If she was really honest with herself Rory had to admit that when she was with Dean she wondered if she really did love Dean.

Years later, she could clearly see that she never loved Dean. Now after being with Logan she knew their love was real. Logan was her other half, the one that got her to do things that she never thought she would do. When he kissed her he made her feel so alive; when his mouth is on hers it's as if the outside world doesn't really exist. What she and Logan shared was a love that she hoped would last a lifetime.

As she laid back in down in her bed, Rory's cell phone rang to signal Logan was calling her. Clearing her throat in an attempt to sound normal, she answered her phone.

"Hey Logan," Rory greeted him, but realized her voice was still dull from all of her crying.

At hearing her scratchy voice Logan furrowed his brow. "Rory, what's wrong you don't sound like yourself." Logan was concerned. He wandered in the great house, farther away from his family so he could speak freely with Rory.

"It's nothing. I was watching a movie that made me cry. I'm fine Logan, honestly." She lied; she just couldn't tell him over the phone.

"Rory, come on. You know you can tell me anything. I can tell something is bothering you, I may not be able to see you, but I know you better than to believe that you cried over a movie."

"I just miss you. I know it's only been a week and a half but I'm sick of not being able to see you or Colin, Finn, and Stephanie. We've always spent Christmas together, but this year everyone went separate ways."

Logan could see right through her words. She was trying to convince him she was fine, but he knew her better than to believe her reason for being upset. Yes, something more than their group being split for the holidays had gotten to Rory "I feel the same way, Rory trust me. I'm sure the others wish we could have been together too. Now, are you sure that's all that's bothering you?"

"Logan, honestly, I'm fine; I just really miss you guys."

"You miss us enough to cry?" He asked her again to show he didn't really buy her reasoning.

"I'd rather just tell you in person." She answered him quietly as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"Is your mom there with you now?" He tried to change the subject, hoping that would improve her spirits.

"No. She's staying with Luke tonight." Rory pulled the covers up higher around her small frame.

"I'll be over there in a few hours."

"No Logan. Don't leave your family for me. It's winter break and your grandparents just moved back from Scotland because they missed seeing you guys."

"Rory, I spent almost two weeks with them and I will see them again soon. You're there all alone and you're sad about something that you don't want to tell me over the phone. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I just left you there by yourself, alone, and sad?"

"Okay, fine. You can come up." She relented. "But if they ask it's not because of me."

"Deal. I'm sure Honor can cover for me anyway." He smiled even though she couldn't see him through the phone; he hoped she could hear it in his voice.

"So I'll see you in a few hours?" Rory asked with great hope in her voice mixed in with a pinch of apprehension. She was nervous.

"Yes you will. See you soon, Ace. I love you."

"I love you too."
