During the night Lorelai managed a few hours sleep in the chair beside Rory's bed and around 8 am a porter came to move Rory up to a ward. Around nine Emily and Richard returned to check on her once more before work. Chris came back as they were leaving and spent several hours by his eldest daughter's bedside. Lorelai felt it best to wait and see if Rory was ready to tell him about the pregnancy before she told him. Rory spent much of the day sleeping but was grateful that each time she woke up her mom was there. Around two in the afternoon Logan came back again, having visited earlier while Rory was sleeping, and found Loerlai flipping through a large stack of magazine's diligently brought by Sookie before she opened the Inn.

"Hey" he said

"Hey"

"How is she?"

"Sleeping again. She's been in and out all day." Rory began to stir and opened her eyes. logan sat on the side of the bed and held her hand.

"Hi Ace." he flashed her his signature smile.

"Logan?"

"Yeah, how're ya feelin'?"

"Ok, when did you get here?"

"Just after two this morning, i stayed at a motel after checking on you and i just got done checking into the Dragonfly. boy that Mishell is an interestnig guy huh."

Rory lookedover to her Mom, "Mom I...", asking if Logan knew about her present condition, she mouthed 'no'.

"It's okay hun, i'll uh, go get some coffee", said Lorelai, mouthing 'good luck' as she left.

Logan smiled at Rory again and leaned over and bushed some stray hair beind her ear, Rory began to well up.

"It's really good to see you Logan, i missed you"

"I missed you too, but lets not do this now yeah"

"Okay" Rory just stared into his beautifu eyes for several moments. "Logan i need to tell you something."

"you can tell me anything, even if we're not together right now we're still best friends right. i know i didn't handle the..........uh.......situation....brilliantly but i'm here now and i'm sorry and i'm not going anywhere till you're better."

"i love you"

"I love you too Rory", they both sighed.

"I still need to tell you something"

"Right, shoot" Rory didn't say anything. She bit her bottom lip gently. "Uh Ace?" Logan questioned. Rory breathed deeply, "It's difficult" she said and Logan started to frown.

"Ace you're scaring me, what's up?"

"No not scary, okay yeah very scary but it doesn't have to be. It could be good."

"Ace just tell me what's going on"

Rory bit her bottom lip again and took hold of his hand and moved it to her belly, placing it right over their unborn child. Logan turned white as a sheet and looked into her eyes, "I'm pregnant"

"What?"

"Yeah, i only found out a few hours ago, apparently they test every woman that comes in unconscious."

"But we were always so careful. Always. I mean you told me all those Trojan jokes for god's sake."

"i know, i know i'm having a hard time puzzling it out myself. Do you remember the last time we slept together?"

"Uh yeah it was a couple nigts after i proposed"

"Do you remember what happened after?"

A look of realisation crossed his face "The condom split"

"yeah, and then after things between us started to get worse i stopped taking the pill because i wasn't going to be doing anything any time soon so.."

"right." Logan sat silent for a moment "I do believe that calculation adds up to baby."

"Yeah. I'm really sorry"

"Oh for what?" said Loagn in a way that Rory definately interpreted as him saying she had nothing to be sorry for.

"I don't know, i'm just sorry for how things turned out i guess, and if you don't wanna be a part of this i understand and i want you to know i'll...we'll be okay and i wont ask you for anything. it's up to you"

"Hey you know me better than that, i'm here in this alright, every appointment, every kick, every birthday. Everything okay."

"Are you sure? This is gonna me a whole lot of, at times litteral, crap."

"i'm sure. i love you and i love OUR baby okay.i hoped we'd get to this place someday, granted i didn't think it's be this soon but i can do this."

"You thought about us and kids?"

"Yeah. and we were gonna take 'em on vacation to disneyworld and i was gonna teach our son to fish and ride a bike, and you were gonna teach our daughter how to put on makeup and get her ready for the prom. And every christmas we were gonna come back to Stars Hollow and spend it with your whole family."

"You had all that planned out"

"Yeah ace that's what i wanted, that's why i asked you to marry me. i wasn't trying to own you or control you or stop you doing anything you wanted. i just wanted you to know we have a future and then when you said no......"

"I didn't say no." said Rory quickly, looking pained. "I juat said i wasn't quite ready yet"

"Right"

"I want all those things with you Logan, i do, i was just scared."

"Of what?"

"I don't know. Doing everything to fast i guess. i just think we know each other so well as a couple it'd be good for us to get to know ourselves as adults before we get married. i mean i just really don't wanna wake up in ten years and look over and regret not doing something i always thought i would or you regetting anything either."

"so we're not getting married then."

"No we are, just not till we're ready and i certainly would't marry you just 'cos i'm pregnant." Logan chuckled to himself at this.

"I wasn't gonna ask you now."

"you weren't?"

"No. i knew you'd say no if i asked you right now. you forget just how well i know you Rory eventually Huntzberger-Gilmore.

"I love you"

"You too Ace" said Logan and leaned in and kissed her. Rory looked at the ceiling grinning from ear to ear" What?!"

asked Logan

" I just can't believe that i'm actually excited about this!"

"you are?"

"Yes! i mean five minutes ago i was panicked! i was gonna be a single mothr and have to like work at Wal-mart but now. Everything's gonna be okay isn't it."

"Yeah it is. You got me and you just know you're mom is barely ever gonna let even you hold the baby!"

"I will so let her hold the baby" said Lorelai as she walked back in with a giant cup of coffee for herself and a slightly smaller one for logan. She handed it to him. "You drink lattes right?"

"Yeah, thanks Lorelai"

"Anytime. So there are a few details i wanna hammer out with the two of you here." she said while taking her seat and crossing her legs."One, I would prefer Grams or ya know just Big mama, and the two of you are gonna be living at my place till Rory is better and the baby is born. That cool with you guys or is Logan not staying?" she asked,biting her lip much like Rory had a few minutes previously.

"Oh i'm staying"

"He's gonna be here for every kick apparently"

"Well good."

"and Grams is fine" added Rory

"Oh and almost forgot, you have to teach my fair grandchild to say bathroom over potty ok"

"How is that relevent?" asked Logan.

"Oh it was a whole conversation" said Rory. Lorelai and Rory smiled at each other.

"Oh so much to learn" asid Lorelai before taking a sip of her coffee. Rory agreed. Logan just sat there with a confused smile. Everything really was going to be fine.
