I was in my room packing when i heard the front door open. "Hello?" I heard a familiar voice yell from the front door.

I went running. It was Logan. I jumped in his arms.

"Your here." I said.

"yup. im here." He said kissing me. "Wheres your mom?"

"Luke's. They got back together this morning."

"Gotcha." We head towards my room. "Hows the packing going?"

"Okay. Mom helped for a while but i got frustrated with her cause she didn't like my system."

"you do like your system."

"its efficient."

Logan takes his jacket off and lays it in the chair. "how can i help?"

"the books."I said.

Three hours later we have my room completely packed. Logan and i were stretched out on the couch watching a movie when we heard a car door. "That'll be mom." I said.

The front door opens and mom walks in. "hey kid. hi Logan." she says walking in and sits in the chair. she has a to-go box in her hand.

"what ya got there?" i ask.

She hands it to me. "Luke said congrats."

I open the box. i look at Logan. "Brownies" i say grabbing one and eating it.

"Hows the packing going?" Mom asked.

"We're done." Logan tells her.

"For the day?"

"Nope. everything is packed." i tell her giving Logan a brownie.

"That didn't take long."

"Logan knows my system"

"Well i have helped you move three times." He says.

"Thats true." Mom, Logan and I sit and watch tv for a while before going to bed.

The next morning when I wake up Logan is still asleep so I leave him. Mom is already gone to work. I decide to go tell Lane about the engagement.

"Your getting married!" She says.

"Yeah it happened really fast but I'm happy." I say.

"I'm really happy for you."

When I got back to the house Mom and Logan were sitting in the kitchen. They were actually smiling. This didn't happen often. I grabbed my laptop to check my email and I joined them. Logan fixed me a cup of coffee.

"Thanks" I said as i opened my email. "Oh my god!"

"What!" They both said.

"Its from the San Francisco Times. They're offering me a job with my own column."

"Thats great hun!" Mom said.

"Thats awesome." Logan said. Logan's phone rings and he walks into the living room to answer.

"Mom I have to tell you something." Mom turned and looked at me. "Logan and i are having dinner with Dad and Francine tonight."

She sits down. "Oh."

"I wanted to tell you this morning but you had already left for work.Are you mad?"

"Kid listen to me. Shes your grandmother. do i trust her? No never have. but...that doesnt mean that you shouldnt try to have a relationship with her. And I mean its your Dad."

" He did sound pretty happy when I told him that we'd do it" Logan walks back into the room. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah. That was my dad." He said.

"Ok." I wasnt surprised. We knew that he would call eventually. "What did he say?"

"He wants to throw us an engagement party."

Mom and I both look at each other. "we are talking about your father? Mitchum Huntzberger, right?" I said sarcastically.

"It surprised me too." He looks at the clock. "We have to get ready to go to your grandma's." i nod my head.

Logan and I go into my room and we both get dressed. I pull out a strapless black dress that i had bought on my way home since everything is packed up. I pull my hair back with bobbie pins into a neat bun. I look at Logan as he is tying his tie. "Do you wanna drive?" I asked.

"I can." He said. "You look beautiful."

"Thanks. I wanted to make a good impression. this is the first time that i have seen her since i was sixteen. and the last time didnt go so well."

"It will be better this time." He said walking over to me and kissing me. I put my shoes on and we head out the door.

OUTSIDE FRANCINE'S HOUSE...

I take a deep breath. I ring the doorbell. A few seconds later the door opens and there stands my dad. "Hey kid.Logan." He says.

We walk inside. Dad leads us to the living room. There she sat on in a chair. My grandmother. "Rory. I'm so glad you came." She said.

"Thanks for having us. This is Logan." I said.

"Its nice to meet you Logan."

"You as well."

Dad fixes us drinks and hands them to us as we sit on the couch. It felt weird to be in this house. This was a side of my family that i was unfamiliar with. There was a long awkward silence.

And then "So...Rory, your father tells me that the two of you are recently engaged." Francine says.

"Yes we are." I said. "And..."

Logan and i look at each other. "Ror spit it out."

"we're moving to California the day after tomorrow." i looked at my dad when i said this.

"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore! Have you lost your mind!" Dad yelled at me.

Just then my grandmother stood up. "Christopher! Sit down and shut your mouth. She is an adult. If you cant calm down then excuse yourself." She said. Dad gets up and leaves the room. Logan grabs my hand. "I'm sorry about your father Rory."

"Maybe i should go talk to him." Logan said. i nodded. Logan gets up to go find my dad.

"Rory i just want to say that I'm sorry. I want you to know that I'm sorry that Strobe and I never took the time to get to know you." Francine said.

"I understand that you were put in an awkward position. However after reading your letter I want to give you a chance...to get to know me."

"thank you."

A few minutes later Logan and Dad came back in. Nobody says anything. Nobody says anything through dinner.

"Grandma I think we are gonna go. Busy couple of days coming up." I tell her.

"Of course. Let me know when the wedding is." She said walking us to the door.

"Sure thing. You'll have to come out for a visit." Logan said.

"Absolutely."

I was quiet during the ride home. i couldnt help but think about how my dad had acted during dinner. When we got home i went in and went straight to my room and shut the door. I heard mom call my name but i didnt say anything. I sat down at my desk and opened my laptop deciding to check my email. I heard Mom and Logan in the kitchen talking. He was telling her about the dinner. And few minutes later my door opened and the front door opened and closed. I didnt move.

"Hey kid." my mom said.

I turned around. "hey."

"So your dad had a Gilmore moment tonight?"

"Yeah. He even called me by my full name."

"sweets this is gonna be hard on him. you and him have been close for the last year. he didnt see this coming"

"i know."

"give it time." she said. i heard the front door open and close again. "He'll come around."

"Thanks mom." I see Logan standing in the doorway. He holds up a bottle of Scotch. "Yes please"

Mom, Logan and I spent the rest of the night drinking Scotch and talking about wedding plans. We showed her the pictures of the house and she suggested that we have the wedding there because of the view. It started out as a bad night but ended up turning around. We even settled on a date for the wedding. August 15th. It was perfect.
