Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore girls.

Logan sat there in pure shock as I released a breath I didn't realise I had been holding in. It felt so good to finally be able to get it out in the open. As I was waiting for his response, the waiter once again interrupted us.

"A scotch for you." He said to Logan "And a club soda for the lady here." As he handed me my drink.

We then sat there in an awkward silence as neither of us really knew what to say. After what felt like hours but in reality was only a few short minutes I decided to speak up again.

"Just so you know, you're not obligating to anything. I just thought you had the right to know. I couldn't not tell you because I've seen something like that happen before and I knew I couldn't do that to you." Thinking of the whole Anna situation.

He didn't respond, he just looked down at his feet before taking a big gulp of his scotch. After another few minutes of emptiness, he finally looked up at me and responded.

"wow, ummm... Are you sure...I mean." And for the first time in I don't know how long, I had made the Logan Huntzberger speechless.

"Yeah and its yours if you can't already tell." I simply responded back.

"I'm not really sure what to say, ummmm... How long have you known? Who else have you told? How are you feeling?" He started asking me all these questions.

"ummm, so I found out this morning when I noticed that I was eating an apple with breakfast. Me an apple you know. Anyway, I then realised that I was late and that's when all the signs started kicking in; the missed period, I had been feeling some symptoms of nausea I mean I never get sick and I was also constantly feeling tired all the time. I went and bought 5 pregnancy tests and they all came back positive and the doctor confirmed it this afternoon, I'm 6 weeks pregnant. Congratulations, its a baby, New Hampshire would definitely be proud." I rambled. "oh and to answer your other question, you're the first one I've told, I felt like you had the right to know first. After all, its your baby." I answer him honestly and truthfully trying not to leave anything out.

"Ace, your doing it again, your rambling." He started "I'm glad you told me, especially first. I definitely would have been devastated if I had found out from somewhere later on." A brush of relief comes over me. I did the right thing.

"Okay, yeah the timing is really bad, but I think we can do this Ace. What do you say?" He questions me. Oh no, he thinks I might be getting rid of our baby. I really had to clarify things with him.

"Logan, there is no doubt in my mind that I'm keeping it. I knew from the moment I found out that I was going to keep it. I couldn't do that to a tiny innocent little baby."

"Oh and before I forget, this is for you." I say digging through my purse before handing him a copy of the ultrasound picture from earlier before handing it to him. He looks down at the picture and he breaks out into a huge smile. I can see that tears are beginning to form in his eyes and apart from our goodbye when he went to London, this is the only other time I've seen him get this emotional.

"Wow." He spoke up after drowning himself into the picture. "This is really our baby?!" He looks up at me with a huge smile on his face like nothing could ever brake it off. All I could do was simply nod as I myself, started to get a little emotional watching him observe the first picture of our child. Damm, those pregnancy hormones.

All too soon though, reality began sinking in and those everlasting questions that were hanging at the back of my mind came resurfacing to the front like his family and Odette. Oh no what about Odette. My mind begins to race in circles and Logan must have notice my fears and doubts as his face turned to worry.

"Ace are you okay there." He asked me with concern evident in his face.

"What about Odette? OMG, your parents, the company, London, I've completely ruined your life." I started to blurt out my worst fears and as I did, he just sat there smiling at me. God, sometimes the nerve of this man got me so angry.

"Why are you smiling, this actually serious Logan, GEEZ!" I screamed at him. as his face changed expressions, I realised that my wacky hormones started kicking in. God, this is going to be a long seven and a half months. "Omg, I'm so sorry Logan. I guess the pregnancy hormones are starting to kick in."

"Ace, calm down. It's okay." He reached over to gently rub circles on my palms calming me down ever so slightly. "I'm smiling cause this is the best news I've received. I actually was on my way to stars hollow to come see you when I got your call. I broke off my engagement with Odette yesterday and realised that I had to win you back; that I had made the biggest mistake of my life letting you go in New Hampshire." I couldn't believe what he was saying, he and Odette were over and he was coming here to win me back. I felt like my heart was about to burst outside of my chest and I couldn't help but break out a smile towards him.

"But what the dynastic plan? When I asked you if you were really going to marry Odette. you told me it was the dynastic plan?" I questioned him. It was one of the many questions I really needed to clear up with him.

"Ace, Oh Ace." He shook is head and smirked at me. "The dynastic plan was just a business deal, I never loved her. It was a merger between our fathers. We meet at a charity function a few months after Hamburg. My father caught us chatting and thought there was something more between us. Our families tried to set us up and they eventually made us go out on a few dates. There was nothing between us, maybe friends if anything." He told me honestly as he took a gulp of his scotch before continuing. "They then began pressuring us into an engagement, neither of us wanted it but then they made an engagement announcement and we both just went along with it for the sake of pleasing our families. I wish I had said something back then, otherwise, we may not have gotten ourselves into this mess." He told looking directly into my eyes with sadness and regret.

I just couldn't do it anymore; letting my parents have control over my life. Yesterday was the final straw." He finally finishes.

"Wow, Logan, ummmmm... I don't know what to say."

"Look, you don't have to say anything. Just know that I'm not going anywhere and that I'm here for you and our child. I want to be a part of its life and yours too if you let me." Sounding hopeful as tells me the last part of the statement and it has me all sentimental and emotional as he looks at me with nothing but lust.

"You jump, I jump jack." and with those five words, He gave me the most cheesy smile. "But I want to take this slow. I feel like this is our last shot Logan and I don't want to screw it up." I really don't want to mess this up as it effects more than just us now.

"We have a lot more to discuss and a lot more things to clear over but for now I just want to live in the moment." I nodded my head in agreement. "So, tell me, how are things with your mom now." He asks changing to a lighter subject.

We spent the next few hours catching up on everything that's been going on lately and I told him about Mom and Luke's upcoming wedding and he caught me up on Honor and the gang. It felt like we were in college again and it was one of the best feelings in the world.

All too soon though, the day was coming to a close and I needed to get back to Stars Hollow to help with Saturday's wedding.

"As much as I've had a lot of fun tonight Logan, I really need to get back to stars hollow." I tell him even though I didn't want the night to end.

"Yeah, I know." He shot me a sad smile.

"Hey." I say gently stroking his arms. "How about you come to Stars Hollow during the wedding reception. By then, I'll have hopefully told my mom and Luke about everything." Hoping he'll say yes.

"Oh Ace, I'd love to."

"I should get going now, I've got a lot of messages from various family members wondering if I've gone off the face of the earth that I should probably return." He chuckles.

"Logan!" I exclaimed getting up from the booth as he does the same.

"Ace!" He groaned "I'll see you and our coffee bean at the wedding." He stated as he leaned in and gave me a quick peck on the lips shocking me.

"Coffee bean?" I question him confused as I come out of my state of shock.

"Figure it out Ace." He tells him as he walks away from the booth leaving me standing there.

"Mean." I mumble under the bottom of my breath as I exit the pub with a goofy smile on my face and walk towards my car to begin the journey back to Stars Hollow.

As I was entering Stars Hollow for what seemed like the umpteenth time. I was reflecting on the conversation that I just had with Logan. My mind was still reeling at everything he told me. He had broken off his engagement to Odette and was going to try and get me back not just because of the baby. Everything went better than I ever could have hoped for!

As I pulled up to the crapshack, I start to become a tiny bit nervous. A wave of relief came over me as I suddenly realised that I don't have to tell Mom and Luke right away. I've got a couple more days to do so.

"Hello?!" I yell out when I enter through the front door.

"In here." I hear my Mom calling to me from the kitchen.

"Where have you been all day? You were supposed to be helping me with the wedding." She starts yelling at me as I enter the room.

"Mom, calm down. To answer your question, I was out doing some errands. I know I was only supposed to be gone for an hour but it ended up taking longer." I stated thinking back to the eventful I had experienced today.

"Well, maybe you should have called me." She said stubbornly.

"I'm sorry. I got distracted." which was partly true. "But I promise I will help you out all day tomorrow." I tell her not particularly in the mood to argue right now. "Anyways, I'm feeling tired so I'm just going to go to bed."She says silent as I head into my room.

Looking around at my childhood bedroom which pretty much looks exactly as it did 20 years prior, I realise, that I'm going to have move out soon and find a bigger place to live before the baby arrives. Great, just another thing to add to my extensive list.

I slowly lay down on my bed after changing into my pj's feeling a little uneasy trying not to feel the need to throw up again. My nausea hasn't been the greatest so far. As I stare up at the ceiling, trying to get to sleep having no such luck in doing so, a rather loud ping interrupts me. As I slowly drift back into reality, I realise that it is my phone is going off as someone has sent me a text. I move my arm across the bed to reach for my phone situated on the bedside table. As I look at it, my eyes widen as I read who sent me the text and what it contains.

I've never stopped loving you Ace and I love our little coffee bean more than I ever thought was possible. I know we agreed to take things slow but I just needed to get that out there.

Sweet dreams

Mac

My heart melts at his words and in that moment, I knew that I was going to do everything in my power to make things work between us this time round.
