Ch 2
"Wait, I have another one mate" Finn says. "What about when you're trying to leave and they tell you five minutes" he states and we laugh.
"I love that one. Steph uses that one all the time. I end up waiting almost another half hour for her to be done" Colin laughs.
"Rory is the worst at that one, she's a Gilmore so you have to give her a extra fifteen minutes anyways but then I get give me five minutes and we spend 20 trying to find her shoes that somehow end up in the kitchen pantry or the stove" I say and they look at me.
Flashback
"Rory are you ready" I question, we're meeting my parents at restaurant to tell them about the baby and engagement. It's the beginning of September and it's the first time they came out. She's about 4 months along.
"Five minute" she yells from the bedroom. I've been pacing the floor for 20 already. I'm more nervous than anything. She's been sick all day and I'm praying that she can at least eat something at dinner.
"Five minutes was like ten minutes ago, Ace" I yell from the living.
"Well if you would stop screaming at me every two seconds and leave be alone for five damn minutes Logan, I can get done" she screams back at me and I shake my head. So for five minutes, I sit on the couch watching the Padres game.
"Help me find my other black heel and we can go" she states coming up and I nod watching the intense game. It's all tied up and they need a hit to bring in the player on third. "Logan" she says and I glance up before looking back at the game.
"Need to be more specific Ace, you have 20 black heels" I say not looking at the black shoe in her hand.
"These" she says and I shrug.
"You have five minutes while I look in the closet again and that's it. What you see in baseball I have no idea" she tells me and I nod. I scream as they get it and she comes out and shuts the TV off.
"Hey, I was watching that do you have any idea what just happened" I state looking at the crazy woman I'm dating.
"I said five minutes now help me find my shoe" she demands. She's kidding right?
"You get 30 extra minutes to get dressed and I only get 5 for the game, how is that fair?" I question her.
"Because it is" she states and I shake my head. Gilmore logic is something I will never understand and I stopped trying 2 years ago.
"Did you check the pantry; all of them seem to migrate there?" I smirk walking to the kitchen.
"No, but we're going to be late if we don't find it" she says checking the living room.
"Wear another pair" I state like it's a simple solution.
"And face your mother without having my black heels that match perfectly with one of the few dresses that still fit, I think not! Are you crazy Logan, she's already going to be a bitch that I'm there and now you want be to change my entire outfit because you won't look for the other shoe, that will only make us later" she says and I walk to the den to look in there. Didn't I say change shoes not outfit. I personally like the white and black dress she's wearing.
"Found it" she yells 20 minutes later and I come out to see her closing the oven.
"Oven, it was wet from the puddle last week" she smiles at me.
"You scare me, you do know that right?" I state letting her hold my shoulder as she slips her heels on.
"There now we can go" she says kissing my cheek and heading to the door.
End of flashback
The boys burst out laughing. "Mate you're going to have to put a GPS on that kid" Finn laughs.
"Trust me I know" I say shaking my head.
"What is she going to do if it' rains, stick the kid in the microwave to dry him off" Colin questions still laughing.
"God, I hope not" I shake my head.
"Wait was that the dinner that Shira throw red wine on her" Finn questions and I nod.
Flashback
Dinner was quiet and Mom continues to stare at Rory. They both refuse to say anything but through dirty looks at one another that I know Mom started. Dad and I talked business and he didn't hold anything back, but was oddly proud that everything was going good out here for me. He was also impressed that Rory not only covered Obama's campaign, but picked up a job at the Chronicle in San Francisco. They know about the baby because she was honest with them and they didn't care. They will allow her to work from home closer to her due date and go freelance afterwards if she didn't want to return fulltime.
"As lovely as this evening is, why the sudden need to see us" Mom questions as I watch her red wine get closer to edge of the table near Rory's arm.
"We have some news" Rory says intertwining our hands and Dad nods.
"Rory and I have decided to get married" I say and that's when Mom pushes the glass right over onto Rory. She looks pissed beyond, I'm afraid for Mom now.
"You did that on purpose" Rory states shocked but angry too and Mom shrugs. She so did it on purpose.
"She will not be any daughter in law of mine. She wants and is working Logan, she doesn't know what it means to be part of this family, you're grandfather will have a heart attack when he hears" Moms states as I try to help Rory dry her dress.
"To support the man you love in anything he does, to make sure his personal calendar is filled and accurate, to stand by his side not only as his wife, but as the one person that understands him the most. To be the one person he looks at for a supportive smile or a simple kiss to make him be able to make it through the day or the event. I think I do understand that Shira, since I did all that and more for three years at Yale. I don't have to run to a spa when times get bad, I stand with Logan and we get through it together" Rory sneers at Mom. It's like a stalemate and one of them will swing at the other.
"I think it's a great idea. I already told you Rory that you make Logan the man that he could always be" Dad states and we look at one another before looking at him.
"Thank you Mitchum" she says sweetly. Mood swing, at least Dad will make it out of here in one piece.
"You don't really believe that he's better off with her do you" Mom snaps at him.
"I do, and you might want to watch your mouth woman before you lose not only your son, but the child she's carrying" Dad says and we look up shocked.
"So that's why, well aren't you a sneaking one, getting knocked up my a Huntzberger to only turn him down for marriage because it was inconvenient for you, but come crawling back because of the baby. I was right about you all along, you are a gold digger" Mom laughs smirking at Rory. Rory lifts her water glass and throws it at her and then smirks. "Oops, my mistake, but you know it's funny you calling me a gold digger, since it's coming from a redneck waitress that get pregnant to gain social status, News flash Shira, you married into pureblood, I've always been one" Rory smirks at her and I know I need to get her out of here now.
"No, sure we didn't know that we were actually pregnant when I asked her in May, but that doesn't change the fact that I did ask her. I would be with Rory even if there wasn't a baby Mother. She's the woman that I love and want to spend the rest of my life with. So you have a choice, either accept Rory or lose us all" I state standing up and pulling Ace up too. "Dad, I'll call you" I state walking away with Rory who's reading to rip my mother's head off.
End of Flashback
"Mate, you will always have problems with those two" Finn says.
"I know, I'm hoping once the baby is born, Mom will see Rory as her daughter in law. I know Ace hates me fighting with them especially over her, but I refuse to let them interfere" I state.
"Rory is right though, she's a Hayden and a Gilmore, she's more pureblood than you are" Colin adds.
"Thanks man, like I needed to be reminded of that" I state hitting his head.
