A/N: hey just wanted to let you in on something I love Rogan and I hated that in the show that Lorelai didn't like Logan so that is going to be different. Oh and I made Luke and Lorelai married cause well they belong together and this story is mainly focused on Rory and Logan.
Chapter 3
Rory stayed in her room on Sunday, too afraid that if she went out she would run into Logan. She wasn't ready to face him just yet.
She had a good long talk with her mother about the whole thing. She had been a little angry that she had gotten married but she was just mostly shocked. She said that she just wanted Rory to be happy and if that ment being married to Logan then she would support it.
But she also told Rory to think really hard about what she wanted. Lorelai told her to follow her heart and not to think about it too much. After a while of talking Lorelai had to go cause Luke kept trying to go after Dean.
She taken off her rings after Paris had made a comment about her still wearing them.
"You know Rory, if you keep wearing those around then people are going to think that you are married." Paris said.
"I technically am married Paris." Rory told her as she sat don on the couch.
"You don't say." Paris said sarcastically, "All I'm saying is that you should probably take them off if you were wanting to keep this quiet." Paris told her.
"Yeah I guess but where do I put them?" Rory asked.
"How should I know? You'll figure it out." She told Rory. They had spent the rest of the night watching movies. Just before she went to sleep she took of the rings, put them on a long chain, and hung it around her neck. She knew that with the long chain that no matter what shirt she wore they would be hidden.

Logan's Sunday consisted of him sitting him in his room all day thinking. He had told Colin, Finn and Stephanie what had happened. To say they were socked would be an understatement. Steph and Finn had done a happy dance after they had gotten over the shock. They both loved Rory and both had thought that she as perfect for him. Apparently Steph and Rory had gotten together a couple of times after they met and they had gotten closer.
They let him be when he decided to go to his room and not return. Although Colin would knock every once in a while to make sure he was still alive and to bring him stuff to eat.
All day Sunday he contemplated weather or not he was going to g into the paper the next day. Part of him really wanted to see her, to be near her again. The other part told him to run as fast as he could away from her. But he knew that he had to go in. It was just too important.
They next day Rory and Paris were headed to the paper together from their dorm. Rory was looking nervous.
"Paris are you sure that I have to go in today?" Rory asked as Paris pulled her towards the newsroom.
"Yes, today is the staff meeting. We have to go in to get our assignments." Paris said. Rory sighed as she finally gave in.
"So he'll probably be there then?" Rory asked. Paris turned back and looked at Rory for a second.
"Probably." She said.
"Great." Rory sighed. As they rounded the corner to the newsroom Rory ran smack into Logan.
"Oh sorry." She said looking at the person she ran into.
"Oh, sorry I wasn't looking." He said. They both kind of locked eyes and stared at each other. Paris rolled her eyes and headed into the newsroom. Rory was about to say something to Logan when Doyle popped his head out of the newsroom.
"Huntzberger, Gilmore get in here now." He said before he popped in again. Both Rory and Logan's head snapped to Doyle when he said Huntzberger. Rory blushed and hurried into the newsroom. Logan stared after her as she went into the newsroom. He sighed and went in and sat as his desk across from Rory's.
They both avoided eye contact for the majority of the meeting until he felt someone's eyes watching him. He looked up and saw Rory looking at him. She looked away quickly and started at her computer again. Logan continued to look at her for a while longer until she looked back at him and it was his turn to look away.
They went back and forth with this for a while until Paris pulled Rory's attention away.
"Rory, why don't you go over there and talk to him." Paris said. Rory look at her like she was insane.
"What would I say? 'Hi hunny so when are we going on our honeymoon?' Yeah cause that'll go over well." Rory whispered.
"No. But starting with hi might work." Paris suggested.
"No, not yet. I'm not ready to talk to him." Rory said shaking her head.
"Alright well you can't ignore this forever." Paris said quietly. Rory sighed.
"I know. It's just tat I haven't exactly made up my mind yet." Rory said. Paris just gave her a look before she returned to her desk.
"Rory." Doyle called from across the room.
"Yeah, Doyle." She said as she saw him heading her way.
"Your article about The Life and Death Brigade was a hit." Doyle said as he sat on the edge of her desk.
"Thanks Doyle." She said.
"I was thinking that since you did such a great job that you could turn this into a series." He told her.
"A series Doyle? I don't think that I would be able to go to that many events. They are pretty far apart and I don't think that they want that many articles written about them." Rory told him.
"Alright, then let's just go or a follow up piece do you think that you could swing that?" he asked her.
"I'll see what I can do, but I am not promising anything it took a lot of arm twisting to get me into the last event. I don't know if it's going to work this time." She told Doyle.
"I have faith in you Gilmore. You'll get me my story." He said smiling and hopping off her desk and heading to talk to one of the other reporters.
Rory sighed and looked over at Logan, who was looking at her. They both looked away at the same time. Rory's computer beeped signaling to her that she had an in office im. She opened the window, it was from Logan.
Huntz: I heard Doyle
Her heart jumped as she read it. She sighed before she responded.
Ace: So?
Huntz: We have an event coming up. Steph was going to fill you in on the details later.
Ace: When is it?
Huntz: Steph will drop by later to let you know
Rory's heart dropped, it was kind of hopping that it would be him dropping by.
Ace: fine I'll be there all night
She looked up when she didn't get a response, only to find that he wasn't there.
"I hate it when he does that" Rory whispered as she searched the newsroom for Logan. Paris walked up next to her.
"Hey you ready to go?" Paris asked.
"Yeah just give me a second." Rory said as she gathered up her stuff and shut down her computer.
They made their way back to their dorm in almost complete silence. They were both exhausted from their long day. Once they shut the door and were only a few steps away there was a knock on the door. They both turned back and looked at the door both very confused.
"What the hell?" Paris said as she made her way back to the door and threw it open. There wasn't anyone there. Just large brown paper package sitting on the doorstep. Paris picked it up and brought it inside.
"It's for you. It's got you're name on it." Paris said handing Rory the package.
"Thanks Paris." She said looking at it.
"Well I'm going to change." Paris said going into her room. Rory nodded and went into her own room. She sat down on her bed and opened the box.
Inside was a note and a dress. Rory pulled out the note first.
Rory,
This is a week-long event. I can't tell you where we are headed to but make sure you pack plenty of party clothes and this fabulous dress that I picked out for you. We will get your other dresses at the event. If I give them to you now then you'll know where we are going. We will pick you up in front of your dorm building at 3:00pm on Thursday. Remember no camera and no cell phone. See you then.
-Steph
Rory sat the note down next to her, got up and put the box down on the bed. She pulled the dress out and held it up to look at it. It was a royal blue, silk a-line halter style dress. It had a plunging neckline and the straps criss-crossed in the back and stopped just above her butt.
It was very beautiful. She had no doubt that it would fit her perfectly, she and Steph were the same size. She carried the dress over to her closet and hung it up.
She went back out into the common room where she saw Paris paying a delivery guy.
"Hey, what's for dinner?" Rory asked as she went to their fridge and got them out couple of sodas.
"Chinese." Paris said walking to the couch with their food.
"Yum." Rory said handing Paris her drink.
"Thanks. So what was in that package?" Paris asked.
"Uh information from my contact in the LDB about their next event." Rory said digging into her honey chicken. Pairs nodded.
"When are you leaving?" she asked as she turned the T.V. to a movie.
"Thursday. I'll be gone for a week and I wont have my cell either." She told her. Paris nodded again.
"Got it. So don't freak out when I don't get a call." She said. Rory nodded. They ate their dinner in silence as they watched a movie that was on T.V.
After they were done both Rory and Paris went to their room. Rory laid back on her bed and started to play with her necklace.
"A whole week with Logan. How am I going to get through this?" she asked herself. She looked down at her rings and she felt her heart jump as she remembered meeting Logan's eyes in the newsroom.
She was brought out of her daydreaming when her cell phone started to ring. She got off her bed and dug it out of her bag.
"Hello." She said answering it.
"Fruit of my loins!" Lorelai's voice came over the line. Rory smiled.
"Hey mom."
"So I think that you should play hookie this week and come hang out with me." she said.
"I can't mom." Rory told her.
"You can't come hang out with your mother." She said feigning hurt.
"No mom I can't."
"What could you possibly be doing that would prevent you from hanging out with your poor mother?" Lorelai asked.
"Classes and if I play hookie this week then I can't play hookie next week when the LDB drags me off on another adventure." She told her mother.
"The Life and Death Brigade? But I thought you were finished with that article." Lorelai said confused.
"I was, but apparently everyone liked it so much that Doyle wants me to do a follow up piece." Rory sighed as she sat back down on her bed.
"But doesn't that mean you'll have to-"
"Yup." Rory interrupted.
"How long?" Lorelai asked.
"A week." Rory told her.
"A week! What are you doing, hiking Mt. Everest?" she asked.
"I don't know. I can't know the details until I get there remember? But I leave Thursday at 3:00. So I won't be able to go to Friday night dinner this week and I don't know if I'll be back in time for next weeks." Rory explained.
"Awww, well that sucks that I'm not going to see you for a week." Lorelai said.
"Yeah I know. Hey why don't I skip my Thursday morning class and I come spend the night on Wednesday." Rory suggested.
"Sounds great kid. Oh hey Luke just got home with food so I gotta go. But I'll se you on Wednesday then?" Lorelai said.
"Yeah defiantly. Bye mom. Tell Luke I said hi." Rory said.
"I will, bye hun." Lorelai said before she hung up. Rory sighed and laid back on her bed.
"This week is going to be hell." She thought before she got up and got ready for bed.
Tuesday Rory had gone around to all of her classes and got her notes and assignments for the next week. When she went into the newsroom and told Doyle about her new contact he pretty much did a happy dance.
After her Wednesday afternoon class, Rory had packed up all of her stuff for the LDB event and packed a smaller bag for her mom's. She left her room and headed into the common room.
"Hey are you leaving?" Paris asked from her doorway.
"Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow for a little bit but then I am gone for the rest of the week. Will you be here tomorrow?" Rory asked.
"Um, I'm not sure I'll try to be, but if I'm not make sure you leave you a note. I wanna know when you leave." Paris said.
"Yeah sure. Well bye Paris." Rory said walking over to her and giving her a hug.
"Bye." Paris said. Rory left the dorm and headed towards the coffee cart to get a cup for the road. After she got her cup she turned to leave and someone bumped into her and she dropped her coffee.
"Oh I'm sorry." The person she bumped into said. Rory froze, she knew that voice.
"Logan." She said as she looked into the eyes of her 'husband'. It felt right to say his name almost natural.
"Rory, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking. Let me buy you another cup. I know you can't live without it." he said with his trademark smirk. Rory smiled at him when she saw it. then she remember the situation they were in and the fear all came rushing back to her.
"No, no, that's ok. I'm late. Im on my way to my mom's. so I'll just see you tomorrow." Rory said before she brushed past him and headed to her car.
Logan sighed as he watched her practically ran away from him. He ran his hand through his hair. It had been good to see her smile at him again. Even if had only been just for a second. He sighed again before he turned and made his way back to his dorm.
The whole way to Stars Hollow, she thought about Logan. Her stomach had flip-flopped when she saw his smirk. She couldn't help it.
She pulled into her mother's driveway and noticed that there was only one car in the driveway. Luke must still be at the diner. She parked and grabbed her bag and headed inside.
"Mom!" she called out. Lorelai came in from the kitchen.
"Hey hun." Lorelai said giving her daughter a hug.
"Hey." Rory said.
"Ok what's wrong?" Lorelai asked as she looked at her daughter.
"Uh, I ran into Logan and I just didn't want to handle it. I'll be fine." Rory said as she walked past her mom and went to her room to put her bags down.
"Alright well I'll call Luke and tell him that you are here." Lorelai said as she followed Rory. Rory sat on her bed and looked around she shook her head and almost laughed. She couldn't believe that she had actually run away from Logan.
Lorelai hung up with Luke and went into Rory's room to find her smiling.
"What's gotten into you?" she asked as she leaned against the door.
"I ran away from Logan." Rory laughed.
"What? You ran away from him. Like actually ran away?" Lorelai asked.
"Well I didn't actually run. But he ran into me spilling my coffee and then he actually started talk to me. Then I don't know what came over me but I just bolted. I don't even know why." Rory told her mom.
"Wow, you haven't run away from anyone since Jess." Lorelai said.
"Yeah well right now all I want to do is forget all about Logan for now and watch a movie with my mom and step-dad." Lorelai smiled.
"Alright I'll get the movies you get the plates and stuff." Lorelai said as she left Rory's doorway.
Rory grabbed the plates and headed towards the living room. As she bent over to place them on the coffee table. The rings slipped out from inside her shirt just as Lorelai looked at Rory.
"Are those the rings?" she asked as she stood up and walked over to Rory. Rory stood up and looked at the rings around her neck.
"Oh yeah." Rory took off the necklace and handed it to her mom. Lorelai looked at the rings in her hand.
"Wow these are really, really beautiful Rory." she told her.
"Yeah they are. If I had every ring in the world to pick from I think I would have picked those." Rory told her mom.
"Yeah, I know." Lorelai said handing then back to Rory. She placed them around her neck and tucked them in her shirt just as the door opened.
"Hey." Luke called as he came into the living room carrying bags of food.
"Hey Luke." Rory said hugging him as he put down the food.
"Hey kiddo. We missed you around here." Luke said hugging her back.
They settled down to watch a movie and before Rory knew it she fell asleep with her head on her mother's lap. As soon as Luke and Lorelai realized that she had fallen asleep they paused the movie and Luke carried her to her room and put her in her bed.
He quietly closed the door and made his way back to the living room and sat next to Lorelai on the couch.
"So why was she so distracted tonight?" Luke asked.
"She ran into Logan before she left campus and her mind has been running ever since." Lorelai told him.
"Ah, I see." He said.
"I saw the rings." Lorelai told her husband. His head snapped towards her.
"Yeah? And?" he said expectantly.
"They are Rory. she said if she had every ring in the world to choose from those would be the ones she would have picked." Lorelai told him.
"Wow." Luke said.
"She loves him." Lorelai said.
"I know." Luke said.
"My baby is married." She said with a tiny smile. Luke just looked back at her.
