Rory sat nervously outside a busy New York restaurant, waiting for Logan to appear. She wasn't sure how this was going to go. He had given no indication over the phone. Not a smidgen of emotion. But here she was, not knowing if she was going to cry or throw up. Maybe both.

"Rory!" She turned her head to see Logan climbing out the back of a cab. Time to face the music.

"Hey." She said quietly, feeling a sense of awkwardness set in on the whole scene. "Do you want a coffee? I ordered you a coffee. It just seemed like the thing to do."

"Yea, thanks." He said as he sat across from her. "So, a baby, huh?"

"Yep."

"Are you going to keep it?"

"Of course I am! That doesn't mean you have to have anything to do with it if you don't want to. I know this is unexpected." She blurted out. Oh great, she went from not being able to talk to not being able to shut up. "I mean my mom did it so I can as well. I just wanted you to know you have a kid on the way."

"Ace-"

"This doesn't change anything. We can still live our lives. You can marry Odette-"

"Rory, I –"

"I can just stay with my mom and Luke. Find a job in town-"

"RORY!" Logan interrupted, catching her attention. "I want this baby. I want to be in the baby's life, and yours."

"But what about Odette?"

"I told her about you and me. She wasn't happy, but then again, I was with her for the title my family wanted. And when's the last time I did something my family wanted? " he asked with a smirk. "Don't you get it, Ace? I've been waiting for you to tell me not to marry her. Waiting and waiting."

Rory felt her heart skip a beat. Suddenly all those moments when he gave her that look, all the times he answered the phone in the middle of the night, it all made sense. But this could ruin his life. She felt herself being pulled in two different directions.

"Logan, I just don't want to do anything that's going to mess up your life. My life is already a disaster, but you have things going for you. A job, a fiance…" she let her voice trail off. She ruined everything. She stood up and looked at Logan.

"Rory, all I've wanted since the moment I set my eyes on you was you. As a wife, as a mother to my children." He stood up to take her hand. "So we're doing things a bit out of order. We can make it work."

"Do you think? Can we make this work?" Rory felt a smile creep across her face for the first time in weeks. "We're having a baby."
