Rory had ridden with Logan to the restaurant that Emily and Richard Gilmore had select for lunch past the graduation ceremony. Conversation was plenty accept for Lorelai's dirty looks that got sent Rory's direction and if not toward her than towards Logan. Francine had gotten into with Emily only when they were leaving the restaurant, she was pissed that she was excluding from having a say in some big celebration of her granddaughter's college graduation.
"Grandma Francine," said Rory. "Why don't you have complete control of Logan's and my engagement party. I trust what you will pull together even through it will be in a society appropriate context. You are my grandparent too, Grandpa Strobe is gone, Dad did pay for two years hear at Yale. But…"
"I appreciate that but I'd still like to do something for your graduation itself" said Francine.
"Then what about putting heads together with Mitchum, he is doing something more quiet family and some very close friends of mine and Logan's only sort of thing," said Rory. "I'm not sure when it will be yet, he asked last night. No business people and no Shira."
"I can deal with that," said Francine. "I'll give him a call tonight." Francine waited before she said the next things until everyone was out of hearing distances but Rory, Logan and Chris. While Francine knew Richard would respect her opinion, Emily would blast her for having it, mother's rights and all despite a court having decided that Lorelai's right were being hindered thus place permeate custody with Christopher and strict visitation rights with Lorelai. "You were always a sweet Child Rory and I know I said it before but the angry you saw that day at Emily and Richard's was strictly at Lorelai. She had no right to keep you from this family, and it wasn't about protecting you from this society world Rory. She can give that speech all she wants but she was protecting her own ass for legal actions. As long as she kept us exclude no legal action could be shot against her for failure to return a minor, you, back to the custodial parent who was Chris. I can't pretend to understand what's ever gone on in Lorelai's head but you didn't first meet Logan when you were 15 Rory… you were 2 years old and Logan was four when you first meet. You and Steph were about 10 months old when your father and hers started to get you to girls together regularly. You have a whole childhood you don't know about, that Lorelai hid from you but it up to you to search out the answers. I will give you want I can, but I can't tell you how Lorelai block memories from your mind or justified lying that you spend your entire life in Stars Hollow. You were nine when Lorelai failed to return you to Chris custody, and brought the potting Shed home. You were 6 when Lorelai first gain visitation rights after angering the judge during the initial hearing. It was all about Lorelai's wants and needs, not your Rory that cost Lorelai custody of you. Her desire to be a maid and to leave free and clear of any finically or emotional support from anyone. The judge didn't think that was the right environment for you."
"It wasn't," said Rory. "I just have to sit with this. I'm sure I'll want to know more. But she lied to me … for 13 years she has lied bold faced lies to my face. Then she has the nerve to spend lunch sending dirty looking my way as well as Logan's. Logan and I haven't made and choices yet but Mitchum offered up both respectable deals to be at the Boston Globe, I can write while being an editor for and HPG paper. Logan will learn the ropes as CEO while heading up the Boston Globe and Mitchum has a longer-term plan… he wants Logan to lead a different life than he did. He wants, Honor, Logan, myself and whomever Honor significant other ends up being to run HPG jointly when he returns. He might even ask one of his nieces or nephews to join in the group of CEOs but he doesn't want his mistakes repeated. His mother helped his father for year to run HPG until she decided she wanted to step down and focus on family but it was her choice no one else's. I don't need or want to be a foreign correspondent. Believe me I know what mother told people the plan all my life was but all I remember saying was I wanted to be a journalist not the fleshed-out step by step plan mom bragged about."
"Worry about Lorelai's asinine behavior later,'" said Francine. "This is your graduation you should enjoy it. Your next step should be your choice, consulting Logan as your future husband but your choice sweetheart. The trust you and Logan place in each other now will determine the kind of future you share later."
"We know that thank you Francine," said Logan. "It was a topic of discussion for us surrounding what Rory took last night to sort through in her mind. Moving away from Connecticut is a big deal for her. Our friends will consist basically only as our Yale friends. We know you, Chris, Emily, Richard and Lane will visit. I will my father, sister and Grandfather. I don't know my biological mother and thankfully Dad's kicked Shira to the curb. I don't know what the finale straw was but it time he stood ground with my step mother. All I do know is Natalie is my biological mother's name and that she was the love of dad's life but he had to marry Shira as she showed up with Honor and a DNA test confirming she was there child. He had to save face of the Huntzberger name and marry the woman. But this last year there been rumors that Natalie was pregnant supposed to give birth around the time Shira showed up with Honor. Rory and I are going to peruse the life and happily ever after. We are going to hold on to that with everything. Dad might only be able to find all these years later after years of a difficult unhappy marriage. If dad and Natalie can work through the past they didn't deserve what Shira did to them, to any of us."
Rory and Logan took off after another 15 minutes of conversation with Francine. Chris was there with the group but said very little. His first-born baby girl was all grown up, and engaged. He was happy yet still trying to wrap his mind around that fact. Rory and Logan were strongly considering Mitchum's offer they'd need to have a long honest conversation him but it was the offer that seems the most logical for both to accept with some negation attached. The Drive to New York was about two hours and thirty minutes from Yale. They were meeting their friends, plus Lane at Gramercy Tavern in the city. The restaurant had been selected by Colin, so it was no surprise it was high end and fancy. They agreed to enjoy there night as the faced a busy dad tomorrow. While decisions were still pending on Mitchum's offer to them both that had agree to meet with him in Hartford in the morning.
Logan was surprised that he and Rory were the last to arrive, the were lead to the time to find, Colin, Finn, Lane, Steph and Robert all present. Rosemary and Juliet had been invited but had pre-set plans that had been set up by their mothers. If Logan had to guess they were attempting to pick suitable husbands for their daughters. Logan and Rory followed the host over to the table filled with their friends. Little did Rory not that the next dad would expand that group as well. Thing and been tense between Lindsey Lister and her since the Dean fiasco the summer before Sophomore year at Yale. Rory wanted to know what being with someone she trusted was like, and had lost her virginity to Logan on the yacht owned by the Huntzberger's sitting in the docks in a New York port. The boys and traveled Europe the entire year before. Rory and Logan had started a no strings deal of sorts during her senior year of Chilton. They didn't definite it partly because of Logan's upcoming trip but partly because of the way things ends between Rory and Dean. Jess was attempting to throw himself into the mix but it was Logan Rory put all her trust in. At that time, she could never explain it. Francine's explanation earlier placed some clarity on that feeling five years ago.
Everyone's drink order was placed before Logan stood with Rory follow him suit. They thought it all through and their friends desire to celebrate with them. At this point Lorelai's negative point of view was being pushed aside. Rory would confront her mother about it as soon as she could. She would attempt to have an adult conversation without coming to blow with her mother over it. Francine's little history lesson however, made Rory sure without doubt that while she would attempt to make things right with Lorelai that ultimately her opinions didn't matter. Lorelai's lies took her right away to demand what came next it Rory's life, a career, love of some expectable combination of both. Rory had chosen the path of both not one over the other.
"Rory and I have to share with you all," said Logan. As he began talking Lane catch a glimpse of someone eavesdropping. At first, she thought it might be Dean but dropped that when she thought about where they were meeting. Lane would find out later that she been right in who she saw but in the moment, she dropped the thought. "Last night at the Gilmore party to celebrate Rory's graduation I proposed. After Rory took the night to sort some things out in her head. Issues her mom planted there after the ceremony in the Yale quad she agreed to marry me."
"While we don't know what jobs we are taking yet," said Rory. "Logan and I have agreed that Boston is where we are moving too. We both got the bulk of offers to choose from there. It was our best option, including offers each from Mitchum."
Lane was the first to get up, "Congratulations it about time you two," said Lane. "And you're not the only one heading towards Boston. I've gotten some offers out that way to teach music and well…."
"We are kind of all heading out there for different reasons," said Colin. "I don't want to go to the law school my father did which was Princeton their program has gone down the drain anyways."
"We at least the gang will all stay together," said Logan.
Life is Boston would bring changes that all very much needed. It would be the right path for Rory to find herself and her life path without Lorelai in her ear at every move. Emily and Richard would be concerned that Rory selected the wrong job after all they heard Lorelai brag about the plans over the years but unlike Rory that share their opinion down the road but support Rory's choice in the end on the career front. While all the happy celebration was going on steam was coming out of Dean's ears. His date Beth Evans the sister of Paul Evans and the children of Scarlett and Henry Evans once a family with strong ties to Stars Hollow before Henry opts moving his family with a promotion at his job to Chicago. Beth had been the ex that Lane had gotten the information of Dean out of in his early years of Stars Hollow. Now with her parents' divorce her mother was going back to her routes and bring her adult kids alongside of her.
"Dean, where the heck are you going," yelled Beth. "It rude to just…"
"Shove it," said Dean before storming out.
This was not what was supposed to be happening by any means. College was supposed to be the time were Rory tried life in the society world and found that Lorelai was right and that she hated it. But here tonight the woman that should one day be his future, with a stable life is Stars Hollow was announcing her engagement to the blond trust fund brat. Dean thinks he come across his path a time or to. He slammed it car door and sped off. He didn't give to shits what his parents or Beth would say about just straining her at the restaurant or the language he used as he did so. He would throw a picture frame at his bedroom wall cursing in the empty home of the foresters. His parents and sister were in Chicago visiting his grandparents for the weekend.
Following the fit in his bedroom after the ride back to Stars Hollow, Dean headed for the Gilmore home. After searching to find that Lorelai was gone he tossed a brick through Rory's bedroom window. She graduated today he assumed at least until her move this is where she would be staying. He was completely unaware of Logan having an apartment in New York. Dean was completely unaware the spend the night in New York. And he was completely unaware that Rory would not be the first person to see the mess that Babette would and she alert the town police. No one would happen to know where Lorelai was, not even the next morning when Rory came looking for her. Sookie knew were Lorelai was supposed to be but not where she actual was, she left no work with anyone.
Their evening out with friends had been fun and upbeat. Rory and Logan had talk waking up in the New York Penthouse about their plans. The agreed to speaking with Mitchum first. Following that meeting Rory would attempt to speak with her mother. These days Rory never knew what the outcome would be. But from Rory's point of view Lorelai was being beyond unfair to Logan. The comparisons to that got made, irate Rory to no end. Especially now with the back story that Francine shared a part of.
Logan had gotten Rory her typical large morning cup of coffee, before the headed out to his Porsche and made the drive from his apartment in New York city to his father's place in Hartford. Rory was truly at peace with her decision to take the next step with Logan. While she reached the conclusion of needed to try to make Lorelai understand that she wasn't the same person as her mother she be ok no matter the outcome of it. Her childhood history was dicer that even Rory was aware. She knew her parents had married young, and she knew that a divorce had been pending more than 8 years before it was granted. That the extent of what Rory knew. She assumed that she was living with Lorelai in the sticks of Stars Hollow because as the mother Lorelai had been granted primary custodial rights. This was the first from Francine that Rory was finding out that things weren't so cut and dry. Rory had also assumed that while Strobe and Francine fought Lorelai tooth and nail to see her, that Chris had flaked because of this outcome of his marriage to Lorelai.
After a drive of 2 hours and about 45 minutes Logan pulled into the long driveway of the home he'd grown up in. It was a large mansion. If you asked him or others it never felt like home since it was so large. The maid let Rory and Logan in almost immediately before directing them to Mitchum's home office. They had agreed given the fact they were here they would announce their engagement on top of the other topics they wanted to discussion with Mitchum. Logan knocked on his father's home office door before opening it.
"Come on in both of you," said Mitchum. "I have some things I want to speak to you about… some of it the offer I made both of you. Some of it is not work related." It peeked Rory and Logan interested that out of anyone Mitcchum wanted to speak about something that had nothing to do with Huntzberger Media Publishing. To Logan that seemed to be all his father ever wanted to speak about.
"Rory and I have some none work related news we want to share but that can come after," said Logan. "Rory and I have talked but before you give you some answers we want to talk through some things and clarify other things regarding all of this."
"While why don't the both of you start," said Mitchum. "Then I can clarify or we can negotiate some points if need be."
"Alright, I don't mind editing Mitchum," said Rory. "But I want to write… if I going to prove that you've start me in such a high-level position that anyone I edit I want them to know you didn't just hand this too me. I want them to know you selected be based on the work at the Yale Daily news and a nearly two-year internship for you at the Stanford Eagle Gazette. If this plan is going to work your works have got to be able to have some respect for me. Especially the ones who thought that might get a chance at this opening."
"I will learn the ropes but I don't want to be thrown into the deep end," said Logan. "I'd like to start by taking charge of a single paper, the Boston Globe. I will travel with you sometimes, Rory is will two also given that you see the two of us with honor and someone else take control of HPG when you retire. But I want to get me feet wet and get comfortable of being in charge. For me I think it would help to oversee one paper and slow build things up from that. I know it not what grandpa had you do but…"
"Your compromising Logan between what I want and what you were fighting for only a month ago," said Mitchum. "You both want to write at times that fine. I actual agree with Rory that will gain the employee respect to see the both of you doing that not just acting in management roles. So, each of you is welcome to write your own articles as you wish, they can be edited through me or through someone else on the Boston Globe editing staff. As for you Rory you're a decent journalist but one heck of an editor. Your business acumen it what makes me feel that the management side of journalism is more your strength but you need writing skills still to be able to pull that off. I fore see both of you need to take some business course at some point but HPG will pay for those and I don't think the next year or so is the time to focus on those. Learn the jobs and learn the company in the end that will suit you more than the three course the board will eventually demand all of you have, Honor will require more given she didn't major in business or journalism at Brown. "
"When would you need us in Boston," asked Rory.
"I'd like you there by the first of next week, Monday," said Mitchum. "You just graduated so I understand that you might have some loose ends to tie up. You might even need to make Lorelai understand your choice you will have some time for that. I stayed quiet when Shira meddled because Rory I wanted you to succeed it was clear you had a passion for this work. But at the same time, you see all over the place with what you wanted to do once you held that degree. With time, I saw the reason was because Lorelai was stuck on only one field of journalism being the route you should peruse. You on the other had tried hard to keep your options open for the right choice. Then you beat out Paris to be editor of the daily news that when I saw you blossom. You still work, you still held a passion but you true passion showed with the business side of the field. There nothing in the world wrong with that Rory. You can have both."
Rory and Logan were shocked by the candied nature of the conversation that was occurring with Mitchum. Both of them were surer about how the deal on paper looked now that they could talk to Mitchum face to face about it. Mitchum ran through so other details which were factors that weren't of concern to Rory and Logan and the attempted to make their choice. They weren't hung up on those elements of the job. The factors that did worry them both Mitchum put them at easy about by compromising.
"Now while the board need to pull contracts together, I'm assuming this conversation help you make you finale choices," said Mitchum.
"Yes," said Rory. "I'll take the features editor position at the Boston Globe. "
"If you mean it that I can learn by taking control of a single paper than my answer is yes," said Logan. "About returning to HGP. I promised grandpa if I could hash some things out with you I'd give it honest hard consideration."
"We in agreement it will take the board two days to pull together the contracts so that it on the business front for now," said Mitchum. "As you both know I kicked Shira out and filed for divorce back in April. It given me a lot of time to think. I barely know your or Honor, Logan. I realized that when dad and I agree to make the effort to get to know Rory before making assumption the way your step mother Shira did. The truth of the matter is I didn't marry Shira for love. I not convinced Shira's actual Honor biological mother and I know for a fact she's not you're. These last few years I've paid closer attention to Honor and there are things in both of you that remained me so much of Natalie. There's no question that Natalie is your mother Logan but I feel there is a question about Honor. Had I seen it sooner, you and honor would have grown up in a much happier family. Natalie McCrae, Colin's aunt, has always been the love of my life. I expect when Natalie got pregnant with you should have been when a gained a back bone and kicked Shira out. I can't tell you why I didn't. But I am hoping now that I've finally pushed Shira out of all of our lives that Natalie and I can find some kind of happiness now that should have been years ago. So, I am proposing we do family dinners every other week. Boston's close so one week can be out in Hartford a month and one week a month, Honor, Dad and I can come out you're and Rory's way in Boston. "
"My Gilmore grandparents what to keep up with the Friday night dinners, in some fashion," said Rory. "They seem to think I owe them for everything from paying for Yale because mom inherited money and her Inn was successful enough that I could get finical ad to choosing to let dad pays for the last two years of Yale with things got heated between the grandparents and I because mom ran to the with the tough love routine. Francine, feels like mom stole a lot of time from her and dad in getting to know me when Dad was supposed to because of a court hearing being my primary care guardian so she wants family dinners as well. So, we might have to find a way to combine the ones in Hartford at least."
"Leave it to me," said Mitchum. "I'll speak with Francine Hayden. There shouldn't be much problem pulling her on board with all that is occurring. As for Richard, I will lay it out there about how selfish Emily is being if the need for it arises. Otherwise I will be place before him the option if he wants family dinners to continue. I know this doesn't account for Lorelai however I feel that I would leave it up to Richard for to lay it out for Lorelai that she a part of this new plan or uninvolved in family weekend dinners period. That she won't be demand separate Gilmore time and including Rory and excluding Logan. If at some point you two make the choice to do something with Lorelai in stars hollow that will be your call not Lorelai's."
"I appreciate that," said Rory. "Someone needs to oversee removing my mother from her high horse. Based on what Francine told me yesterday which is much so I assume not the complete story. My mother is damn lucky that she free and not behind bars for parental kidnapping for failure to I forget the term Grandma Francine mentioned now. Someday I'll be ready to dig for the truth but I need to let it sink in the little I know now. Also, are Honor and Elias around Logan and I have news we want to share with the whole clan."
"Head on out to the parlor," said Mitchum. "I'll track the two down and then meet the both of you in there."
Mitchum wasn't gone more than 10 minutes before he joined his son and Rory. Honor and Elias were immediately behind him entering the room. Honor stood while Mitchum and Elias opted to sit down. Logan's arm remained about Rory's waist. Rory's left hand was behind Logan's back so no one could see her engagement ring.
"Rory and I are officially engaged as of yesterday," said Logan. "We don't know when we will set a specific wedding date yet. This step is just a day old. We both want to get settled in Boston and in our jobs. But a wedding is forth comings."
"Congratulations," said Mitchum. He suspected that something was up when Logan wanted to work through things with him whether he returned to HPG or not. Mitchum had a hard time of showing it but he loved both his children. He felt a strong connection to Logan because of Natalie but he didn't love Honor any less.
"Welcome to the Huntzberger clan," said Elias. "This family could use fresh breath of air such as you Rory."
"Yeah, family a sister," said Honor. "It's about time you make an honest woman out of this girlfriend of yours baby brother."
Mitchum asked the cook to whip up something for an early family lunch. This was a fresh start, and his children as well as Rory were giving him a chance to provide he not the ass the society see him. The lunch went smooth and it was the first step to a longer process. Mitchum knew just like with Natalie things wouldn't change overnight. But he starts with the truth that Natalie deserved about what her father did and why Mitchum raised their son, while her father told her the baby had been put up for adoption. Mitchum didn't think much of Natalie's father then or now because of what he did to his own child. Mitchum could admit the was no perfect parent but even at his worst, he didn't see himself as bad and the stunts Natalie's father pulled on her in attempt to force a marriage that still never happened.
Following lunch, Logan handed his car key's to Rory as she made her way out to Stars Hollow. Logan decide to stay behind and just spend some time with Mitchum. Learning to be a father and son would be a process for the two men, but in Rory's mind today was a good first step towards that. The thirty-minute drive landed Rory at her mother's house as Tom and a crew of constructions working were fixing the window that had received the brink thrown through it. Because the house was empty at the time no one knew that Dean was the culprit.
"Babette," said Rory. "Where's my mom?"
"I haven't seen her today sugar," said Babette. "But she came home from your graduation pissed yesterday. Might you have any reason why?
"Oh, I believe I know why," said Rory. "In the world, according to Lorelai it wrong that I'm engaged. It's wrong that I see a path where a career and love can take the next step in my life all at the same time. She doesn't like the fact that grown up Rory sees a middle ground in the life plan were no choice need to be made and both avenues of life can be perused."
"Give it some time sugar," said Babette. "If I would hazard a guess, this is more about jealousy that anything. Regardless of the word that come out of her mouth. But I'm happy for you. You deserve all this Rory. But what next outside your engagement to Logan?"
"While we will be moving to Boston by this weekend," said Rory. "And both Logan and I just hashed out agreement with Mitchum to take jobs at the Boston Globe. I'll be working as a feature's editor with the opening to write when I wish. Logan is being placed in charge of the overall operations of the Boston Globe. Mitchum opted to make a real effort that Logan can have a different life than him so when Mitchum retires… Logan, Honor, and myself will be taken over control of HPG as a joint unit so no one person is stressed and we can all have personal lives better that what he did. Mitchum realizes his mistakes as a human and a parent."
Rory waited for about 15 minutes before walking through town and stopping and places that Lorelai would normally go. Her last stop would be the Dragon fly Inn. Even if Lorelai wasn't there chances were possible Sookie might have a clue as to wear she actual was or so Rory hoped. Rory need to make Lorelai understand that as people grew up dreams changed for all different reasons. For Rory, her dreams that Lorelai bragged so much about changed for the right ones. At the age of 9 Rory could possible fathom finding the man she would spend the rest of her life with in college, nor being engaged at 22. But life has it own set of surprises and sometimes those are well worth the change to the plan such as the one Rory supposedly created as a child.
"Sookie, "said Rory as she walked into the kitchen. "Look I know in mom convoluted mind somehow she seems to think she has the right to be angry. By career plan in no put on hold it just alter to include the person I love most in this world other than mom. Working at a paper is still important to me. But I can't be mom, I can put so much focus on work that I screw up every relationship I ever had. Logan supports my desire to work, as does Mitchum and Logan's grandfather. The only person was against it was Logan's step mother Shira and well Mitchum kicked her to the curb and is divorcing her."
"I really don't know where Lorelai is," said Sookie. "She is supposed to be at an in conventions in New York City but she never registered once arriving this morning. As for the life plan your right just because Lorelai in love with the idea of keeping you attached at the hip and as Gilmore girls' duo for more years doesn't mean it the right things for you Rory. You must alter that original plan how it best for you. The way I see it is that if you don't give up your career to be a trophy wife than any career choice you make takes that plan into some form of altered consideration. How are things on the job front?"
"While, Logan and I move to Boston on Saturday," said Rory. "Both of us got a lot of offers in the air. But after pro/con lists a very long conversation with Mitchum, Logan's opted to take over as head of the Boston Globe. Meanwhile, I will be taking over as editor of the features section of the Boston Globe. Mitchum's allowing me the freedom to write whenever I choose to do so… and ultimately someday…. Logan, his sister Honor and myself will jointly run Huntzberger Publishing Group Conglomerate. All three of us will have to take business course one day but it a career move that gives me the kind of success that a 9-year-old me could never have wrapped my mind around. But it right Sookie."
Dean and been standing by the door to the kitchen and slammed it open in the moment of quiet during the conversation. Neither Sookie nor Rory could believe what they heard next. Dean said, "Who the hell have you become Rory? The person I love would know that blondie was a college fling and that it was time to come home now that you graduated that you could find a journalism career and we could finally start over."
Meanwhile out in New York…
Lorelai had done some digging until she found the offer from Hugo. She left him a message that he'd finally returned, but it also left Lorelai pissed. Hugo Gray wasn't going to take Lorelai's word about Rory decision to accept his job offer on the campaign trail. She was strewing when she left a ranting message for an unknown female.
"Excuse me," said the blond who bumped into Lorelai on accident as Lorelai wasn't watching were she was going. "I couldn't help but over hear your side to that conversation. My name is Odette Desmarais. Given that you seem to know Logan Huntzberger maybe you can tell me where I could find him? Are joint friends of Colin and Finn have refused to give up where he is."
"It would be may please," said Lorelai. Feeling like her cruel plan was back on track. However, in her own mind it wasn't a cruel plan. Christopher and others however would blast her for it once she was caught red handed in action.
