Chapter Seven-Friday Night Announcements!

Rory sighed heavily as Logan pulled his car to a stop outside her motel. It was one o'clock. She'd gone to her interview that morning and had done really well but wouldn't hear for sure until Friday. She'd made sure the editor knew about her prenatal state and that she'd need a couple months off for maternity leave and also informed her of the wedding. She was worried it might interfere with her chances but also wasn't going to lie about it either. Logan was now dropping her off so she could head to LA.

"I'll see you Friday Ace," Logan said parking the car near the edge of the lot. He wasn't going to walk her in because she didn't want to be bombarded with questions if people recognized him. Half the people she worked with worked for HPG and he respected her want for privacy.

"I'll see you then. I love you," she said leaning over the center compartment and he did as well meeting her half way with a kiss.

"I love you three too," he said pulling away and she smiled in return. "I'll miss you," he added.

"I'll be back before you know it and we won't be away from each other again," she assured. "But I'll miss you too," she added at his playful dejected look and he smiled before kissing her again.

"Be very careful ok? Do not go anywhere in LA alone, in fact don't go anywhere but the rally and the hotel, ok?" he stated and she nodded.

"I'll be fine. I'll call you every night," she assured.

"I'll text every morning," he returned and she smiled.

"We've got this down," she said and he nodded before kissing her again.

"Bye," he said when they pulled away.

"Bye," she returned and got out of the car and heading into the motel. She stopped just inside the door and turned back to see Logan watching her and waved before turning and heading further in, knowing the next few days would seem like an eternity.

She found her way to her and Renee's room quickly. No one was roaming around, probably packing to go. She let herself into the room and found Renee lounged on her bed watching TV but turned it off when Rory entered.

"Ok I want every detail now!" She demanded standing up and grabbing Rory's arm pulling her over to the bed, Rory laughed.

"First of all, notice anything new?" she said waving her left hand in front of Renee and laughed watching her best friends eyes widen in shock.

"Oh…my…god!…Wow that is…that is…wow that is gorgeous!" she stammered stunned and Rory giggled.

"I know, Logan is very much into the wow factor," she said.

"Obviously," Renee said. "Oh honey I am so happy for you, congratulations!" she said hugging her and Rory returned it gratefully.

"Thank you," she stated.

"You're welcome," Renee said as they pulled away. "So tell me how this happened, I mean just last week you were ranting about how Logan basically bailed on you and now you're engaged," she stated stunned, Rory nodded.

"I know but there was a lot of talking before this ring went on and a lot after and will be a lot more to come but it's right, it's so right, it's what I want," Rory assured her.

"Good. So explain," Renee said and Rory smiled, sometimes Renee reminded her a lot of Lorelai-impatient.

"Ok. Well after Logan let me in we went back to his living room, the house by the way though sparsely furnished is as gorgeous on the inside as it is outside. Anyways he asked why I was there, rightfully so and I explained…" Rory went on to explain an abbreviated version of her and Logan's conversation leading up to and including the proposal.

"Ah honey that's great, I'm so glad you're working it all out," She said happily.

"Thanks, I am too," Rory said as a knock sounded on the door.

"Come on girls lets go!" Lydia, another one of the reporters a few years older then them, called through the door.

"Coming!" Rory called.

"Ok more about this when we get to LA. Including this job interview and how you're planning to tell your mother," Renee stated as both girls stood to gather their bags and Rory is glad she'd decided to pack the day before, before going to see Logan.

"Absolutely," Rory assured and they each grabbed their two bags and headed out of the motel room.

"So Gilmore what's with the new rock?" Lydia asked once everyone was gathered on the bus headed to LA, motioning to Rory's engagement ring.

"Oh my boyfriend…now fiancé, lives in Palo-Alto, I went down to surprise him and he ended up surprising me," Rory answered with a smile, no need to explain they had been broken up before yesterday or why.

"That's some surprise, what is he a millionaire, that is at least a carat and I can tell a fake from a mile away, that puppy is real," Lydia stated.

"He had some family money," Rory said vaguely.

"So does this mean you're leaving us Gilmore?" A man named Scott from the Washington post asked.

"Actually it does. The last few months have been harder then I had anticipated and I've decided that I want to settle down and be with him and starting a family. I put in my two weeks notice last week, my boss already has a replacement lined up, he or she-I'm not sure which-will take my place on Monday," Rory stated.

"Starting a family? Are you pregnant?" Another girl Susan asked, she was about Rory and Renee's age.

"Actually I am, about three months," Rory stated.

"Oh my gosh that's great, congratulations! On both the marriage and baby," Lydia said.

"Thank you," Rory said feeling no real need to say she was having twins. Soon the whole bus was asking questions about the new job prospect, the baby, the wedding and of course her fiancé and she answered them as vaguely as possible. After nearly two hours everyone had eventually run out of questions and Rory soon drifted off to sleep.

"Oh my gosh I'm going to miss you so much!" Renee said hugging Rory at 7AM Friday morning as she prepared to board her flight to Colorado. She and Logan had talked and decided it would be easier for them to take different flights to a halfway point and then meet up on the connecting flight to Connecticut rather then her flying to San-Francisco and meeting up with him then them flying out to Colorado for a lay over and then on to Connecticut.

"I know I'll miss you too. Email me any time and call me too," she stated.

"I will and if you're ever up late because they're kicking or once they're born for a midnight feeding you can call me, you know I'll probably be awake," Renee said and Rory laughed.

"I will, I promise. You have to promise you will not miss the wedding and to come out and visit when they're born!" Rory stated.

"Swear," Renee said.

"Last boarding call flight 215 for DIA," The flight attendant called over the loud speaker.

"Ok I really have to go. I'll text you from Colorado and call when we land," She assured.

"Ok sweetie, love you," Renee said.

"Love you too," Rory said and then she turned and quickly headed to the terminal as tears fell down her cheeks. She really was going to miss Renee but as for the rest of the last two months, she could live without it. She boarded the plane and settled into her window seat before taking out her cell and texting Logan that she was safely boarded, knowing he'd get it when he landed since his plane was already mid-flight. Only ten minutes after boarding they actually took off and Rory was thankful they were on schedule to land on time in Colorado. The babies didn't enjoy the take off much kicking and turning around and she felt a bit of morning sickness returning. It would be a fun flight.

Rory had had a miserable hour and a half flight. Not only had she felt a bit nauseas and the babies were kicking up a storm, the person behind her kept bumping her seat, the man sitting next to her was drunk and reeked of alcohol and smoke the woman beside him with a voice that's pitch was akin to nails on a chalk board would not stop yakking with the woman across the aisle loud enough that she's sure the pilots had heard her. However as soon as she walked into the terminal and found Logan standing waiting for her with a large smile on his face and holding two carryout boxes from one of the airports restaurants she couldn't help but smile and all her tension washed away.

"Hey Ace, miss me," he asked as she rushed over to him.

"You have no idea," she answered wrapping her arms around his neck and his free arm wrapped around her waist as he bent to kiss her softly on the lips.

"I missed you too," He said pulling away from the kiss but not releasing his hold on her.

"Good. So what'd you get?" she asked pulling away and motioning to the boxes in his hand.

"Well lets go check in to our next flight and I'll show you," he said she nodded and they headed toward their next gate. Luckily it was in the same terminal and they didn't have to go through security again. After they were checked in they settle down in a set of chairs near by and Logan handed her the box on top of the two he held. She opened it and found a cheeseburger, fries and an apple.

"You're an angel, thank you," she said kissing him in thanks.

"You're welcome Ace," he said when she pulled away. "One more thing," he said opening the front zipper of his carry on and pulling out a bottle of milk. "Didn't have enough hands," he said and she smiled taking it and he pulled out a water for himself and they started to eat. "So does your mom know we're coming?" he asked, she shook her head.

"She doesn't even know that I'm coming let alone that we're back together. I want it to be a complete shock," she stated and he smirked.

"I think I might be rubbing off on you," he said, she shrugged.

"Maybe but you have to admit it's vice-versa, work dork," she teased and he chuckled.

"Touché," he returned.

"It's the whole Yin and Yank thing, a little of each in the other, keeps things balanced," she stated and he nodded.

"Hey whatever works I'm all for it," he said.

"Same here," She agreed and then they fell into silence blocking out the hustle and bustle around them and just enjoying each other. They soon finished their meals and tossed the cartons and bottles away. When they settled back in their chairs Rory's head fell on Logan's shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her.

"Tired?" he asked.

"Nope, just missed you," she answered snuggling a bit closer and swears she can hear him smile as he pulled her closer.

"I missed you too Ace," he returned before planting a kiss on her head. They stayed like that in silence until they were called to board their flight and they were right on time to make it to Hartford in plenty of time for dinner.

"Come on Ace lets go!" Logan called at five forty-five. They had landed at the airport in Hartford at two. They went to a nearby hotel where Logan had gotten a room and checked in. They'd decided to take a quick nap and woke up at four. Rory had then called her mom and asked if she was going to Friday night dinner, just to make sure, and her mother had answered in the affirmative and that she was even dragging Luke along at Emily's insistence since Lorelai and Luke were now officially back together and Lorelai had-in Lorelai's opinion-mistakenly told her mother of this last Friday. Of course the elder Gilmore's then insisted Luke come for dinner as well. This had taken a lot longer then Rory had anticipated thus resulting in her being late getting ready. Of course she wouldn't be a Gilmore if she wasn't a little late Logan mused, apparently it was a Gilmore girl code that they were always at least fifteen minutes late, driving Emily crazy.

"Coming!" Rory called exiting the bathroom and Logan was stunned. She wore a familiar bright red dress that she'd tried on at the maternity store last week that Logan had no idea she'd bought but was silently grateful she had because she looked stunning. The dress was soft cotton with a sleeveless moderate v-neck with empire waist that accentuated her bust, the fabric then flowed down in a slim a-line to just above the knee and the empire waist and light-weight fabric that draped around her stomach somewhat masked it, if you knew she was pregnant you'd see it but if you didn't you wouldn't be able to tell. She paired the dress with crème heels that blended in with her skin tone making her legs look miles long. For jewelry she wore the bracelet he got her their first official Valentines Day, the single pearl necklace Luke gave her for her twenty-first birthday and the diamond earrings he got her for their first Christmas and of course her engagement ring. Her hair was curled and the front half pinned back and she wore just a little blush, shimmer eyeshadow and lip stick as makeup. It was definitely worth them being a little late to dinner if she looked like that.

"You look gorgeous," he stated and she smiled and even blushed a bit.

"Thank you, you look very handsome," she said as she eyed his outfit. He wore black slacks and a light blue dress shirt with black with light blue pin-stripe tie and black blazer. His hair was styled perfectly, his suit perfectly pressed and shoes buffed and shined.

"Why thank you," he returned wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her softly.

"You're welcome, now lets go," she said when he pulled away and he nodded. Rory grabbed her purse and jacket and Logan got his keys before they headed out.

It was just after six when they pulled into the Gilmore drive and Logan parked behind Lorelai's jeep. "You sure about this, we can always tell your mom tomorrow and your grandparents on Sunday," Logan stated to her, she shook her head.

"No, might as well tell them all together. Easier that way and mom and I can talk and gush about the details later," she stated and he nodded.

"Alright then, lets go," he said and he quickly got out coming around to her side and opening the door for her and she got out taking his hand once she was out of the way he closed the car door and locked it with his keys before tossing them in his pocket and they headed up to the front door.

Rory out her keys in which she still held a key to her grandparents house that she'd gotten when she moved in to the house her junior year and never given back. She unlocked the door and opened it quietly as possible and they stepped in closing the door quietly as well.

"Ready?" she asked softly putting her keys back in her purse.

"In Omnia Paratus," He returned with a smirk and she nodded.

"Of course," she said taking his hand once again and they headed into the living room. Her mom and and Luke sat on the couch with their backs to them, her grandparents were in chairs by the fireplace.

"Hey, surprise!" Rory said happily and they all looked up shocked, Lorelai actually dropped her martini she stood up so fast, turning to look at them.

"Rory!" She said happily rushing around the couch to pull her daughter into a hug which Rory readily returned.

"Hi mom," she said still grasping her mother tight.

"Oh honey I missed you!" she said.

"I missed you too," Rory returned hugging her tighter for a moment before letting go.

"What are you doing here?" Lorelai demanded shocked pulling away from her daughter, but her hands stayed on Rory's shoulders.

"Well I was in LA and I got this sudden urge to come crash Friday night dinner," she said teasingly.

"How long are you here?" Lorelai asked completely brushing off her daughter's sarcasm.

"Until Sunday afternoon and I'm not the only one here," Rory said turning to her fiancé who stepped forward with a smile.

"Logan," Lorelai said shocked, having not noticed him until now. Richard, Emily and Luke had now made it over to them, Luke stood by Lorelai, his arm around her waist as well and Richard and Emily to her other side.

"Hi Lorelai, Richard, Emily, Luke," he greeted everyone warmly his arm going around Rory's waist and she smiled.

"Hello Logan, Rory, it's so good to see both of you," Emily said, Rory pulled away from Logan to hug her grandma.

"You too grandma, I missed you," Rory said.

"I missed you too Rory," Emily said hugging her back and then she stepped back and she hugged Richard.

"I missed you grandpa," she said.

"I missed you too, it's good to see you," he said.

"It's good to see you too," she said pulling away. "Luke! It's about time you two got your act together, I missed you," she admonished him teasingly hugging him, he just chuckled.

"I agree and I missed you too," he said and they pulled away and she went back to standing by Logan, who had greeted Richard and Emily with handshakes as she hugged Luke.

"So what's going on here?" Lorelai asked motioning between the two.

"Well why don't we all sit down first Lorelai," Emily suggested, always the hostess. They all moved and sat down, all of them in their previous seats and Rory and Logan sat down on the couch across from Luke and Lorelai.

"Would you two like anything," Richard asked going to the mini bar.

"I'll take a scotch," Logan answered.

"Just some water for me," Rory answered.

"I'll take another martini dad," Lorelai said. Richard got all their drinks taking them over to them before returning to his seat with his own scotch.

"Alright well as mom knows, the rest of you may not, I haven't really been enjoying the road life. It's actually a night mare and I hate it. I know some of it has to do with it being my first job and first jobs are supposed to be sucky and you have to work your way up but the crappy pay and horrible accommodations are only a small part of why I hate it. I hate traveling period, I hate living out of a suitcase, I hate being so disconnected from any form of a real life: my friends, my family. I hate the odd hours and never having my own space or my own time, my own bathroom, my bed, my sheets. I just hate it, period. Then last week I was in San-Francisco and I went to see Logan. I've missed him so much the last few months, so much that it physically hurt at times and I cried myself to sleep every night. We talked and turns out I wasn't the only one," she said looking at Logan.

"Except instead of crying it was working to the point of exhaustion because I knew if I gave myself time to think I'd miss her and it hurt too much," he said and she nodded.

"So I had a job interview on Monday at the San-Francisco Chronicle, I'm supposed to hear back today, probably any time now since it's about three thirty there. However even if I don't get this job it won't change anything, I'll just look for another one at all the papers in a fifty mile radius. Even if I have to be a fact checker I don't care, I'll do anything as long as I get to go home to our house and Logan every night," Rory stated.

"So you two are living together," Lorelai said.

"Uh well actually, we're engaged," Rory stated showing them her left hand that she'd been careful to hide since they got there, everyone was stunned. "And that's not all," she said looking over at Logan who nodded taking her hand in his. "I'm thirteen weeks pregnant and they're twins," she announced, there was a deafening silence in the Gilmore house like none before, Rory swears she'd hear a pin drop in the attic.

"That's…oh my god…wow, Rory honey that's amazing!" Lorelai said stunned but she was smiling and Rory relaxed.

"Thanks mom," she said and Lorelai stood up so Rory did as well they met beside the coffee table in a big hug.

"All the details later," Lorelai said in her ear, Rory laughed.

"Promise," she said before they pulled away, by this point Logan had stood up and was standing behind Rory.

"Congratulations daddy," Lorelai said and Logan smiled.

"Thank you Lorelai," he said hugging her.

"Thank you," she said to him confusing him.

"For what?" he asked.

"I'll explain later," she assured and they pulled away.

"Well this is wonderful news, congratulations, both of you," Richard said ecstatically as he stood up and hugged them both, Emily and Luke soon joined in as well.

AN2: I know that's a weird place to end it but it was where it worked best. Thank you to everyone who reviewed! allyDD: Yes they will be telling the Huntzbergers soon.
