Chapter 7

A/N: Yes, I know that the last chapter was short and I know that you probably feel like I had forgotten about this story but I promise you that I didn't. I had a few issues going on. I was dealing with depression, among other things and then on top of it I had writer's block.

Rory POV

"I know that I told you to go have fun and relax but I didn't say get married..." Mom started to say.

"Lorelai..." Grandma said.

"Well, I think that it's great." Shira said, surprising all of us.

I looked over at her. "Really?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yes, I do."

Overall, the dinner seemed to go well. Dad and Luke didn't seem to say much. I guess that they thought since the miscarriage had happened that there would be time before Logan and I got married.

FLASHBACK*

-Cruise ship, Rory Pov-

Logan and I were sitting on the deck enjoying the sun. "I'm glad that we decided to do this." I said.

"Me too. I think that we both needed it." Logan said.

"I've got a crazy idea." I said, sitting up to look at Logan.

"What?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

"Let's get married at sea."

END OF FLASHBACK*

"Rory? Rory?" I looked up and saw that Stephanie was talking to me.

"Sorry. What were we talking about?" I said.

"We were talking about Christmas. Did you still want to go to New York like we talked about last week?" Stephanie asked me.

I smiled at her. "Yeah, that sounds fine Steph. Excuse me." I said, getting up and making my way to the kitchen. The staff was busy prepping coffee and dessert. I walked over to a cabinet where I kept emergency liquor. I pulled the bottle out of the cabinet and took a drink. Not even a minute later, I felt Logan's hand on my back.

"You okay babe?" He asked me.

"Yeah, sorry. I just got a little overwhelmed in there." I told him.

Logan turned me toward him. "Hey it's okay." He said and I nodded. "Take a minute, breathe and then come back in and we'll finish the evening."

"Okay. Thanks, babe." I said.

LOGAN POV

When I walk out of the kitchen to go back to our guests, I was stopped. I looked up to see my father. "Everything okay?" Dad asked me.

"Yeah. She still has her good days and her bad days but she's doing better. It's just that everyone was talking about Christmas and she got overwhelmed. I think that it hit her that Christmas, she was supposed to halfway through the pregnancy." I told my father. He nodded. "Why did this have to happen, Dad?" I said.

"I don't son, but what I do know is that the two of you will get through this...that I do know. Where is Rory, now?"

"In the kitchen taking a breather." I said. "She'll be back in a few." I said, moving around my dad and going back to the dining room to sit down. I sat back down at the table, and finished drinking my scotch. "Sorry about that. Rory wants me to go ahead and tell you all." I said, getting everyone's attention. "For those that don't know, Rory has been working on writing a book. She finally found a publisher that is willing to take a look at her manuscript that she has just about finished." I said.

"Really?" Lorelai asked.

"Really." Rory said coming back to the table. I nodded at her. "Truncheon books." Rory said.

"That's..." Luke started.

"Jess's company. yep." She said. "The day that I had the miscarriage, Logan was on a plane and Jess had come to see me. We talked about my book and then right before he left...he told me that he wanted to publish it." Rory said.

"That's great, kiddo." Dad said.

"Thanks. However, I have a favor to ask." Rory said, picking up the folder that was sitting on the table. "Because all of you are mentioned in the book, I need written permission to use you in the book." Rory said.

Everyone started nodding, acknowledging that they would easily give their permission. Once that was done, coffee and dessert was served. We were definitely happy once the night was done. I noticed that as soon as the last person left Rory took the folder and went straight to the study. I knew that tonight had been hard on her. She had to talk about the miscarriage. It was still hard at times but it would get easier over time.

RORY POV

A month later, I was sitting in the dining room with my laptop, drinking a cup of coffee when Logan came in. "Morning babe." He said, as he walked by me and kissed the top of my head.

"Morning, sleep well?" I asked.

"Until I realized that you weren't beside me."

"Sorry. Had trouble sleeping again. Didn't want to wake you." I said, never looking away from my computer.

"Ror, honey, you think that you need to talk to the therapist again?" Logan asked me.

I shook my head. "No need. I know the problem this time." I said.

Logan sat down beside me and poured himself a cup of coffee. "Okay, what is it?" He asked.

I finally looked over at him. "I'm pregnant." I said.

He sat his coffee down. "Are you sure?"

"I took the over the counter test yesterday. I have a doctor's appointment today for a blood test to be sure." I said. He nodded. "You know that I have to go to Philly today."

"Yeah, I know. Promise me you'll be safe."

"Of course."

"You going down straight after the doctor?" He asked and I nodded. "Okay, call me after and don't overdue it, okay?"

"Okay. I'll be fine." I said, trying to reassure him that I was okay.

After breakfast, I got dressed and began gathering my things to head ready to head to the Doctor's and then Philly to see Jess about my book. There was a lot to do and get done before the final copy went to the publisher.

When I left the doctor, I got in my car and called Logan. "Hey babe, what'd the doctor say?" He asked as soon as he answered.

"6 weeks."

"Cool. I love you." He said.

"I love you too. See you when I get back."

"Always."
