Holy Huntz! I need a Burger

Rory looked into the full length mirror that stood before her and groaned. She was supposed to be getting ready to go talk to Logan's parents, but all she had managed to do for the past hour was put on her underwear. Her mind was racing and she felt like a kid again as the Huntzbergers never liked her and she was sure they were going to freak out about Lolo. Sighing she picked up a dress that she had thrown across her bed and held it up to herself twisting in the mirror to see how it would look on her. Finally, she just gave up and decided to just wear her lucky outfit that she always felt good in. About an hour later she heard the doorbell ring and knew it was Logan. She ran down the stairs putting in her earrings as she went.

"Hey" she said as she opened the door. He stood there with a smile on his face and a bouquet of roses in his hand.

"For you Ace" he said handing her the flowers. She tried to force her smile to not happen, but she couldn't help the ear splitting grin that crossed her face.

"Thank you. Come in while I get a vase." She said as she led him into her house. "Sorry about the mess I haven't had a chance to clean today."

"Your house is spotless" he told her as he followed her into the kitchen.

"Well to me it is a bit of a mess" Rory joked as she found a vase in one of her cabinets. "Do they know I am coming?"

"Nah I decided not to give them a preamble to the occasion. I did tell them I had a date for dinner, they were happy about that."

"Until they see who the date is" Rory said as she placed the flowers in the vase and turned to look at Logan. "But this isn't a date."

"Wouldn't dream of taking you on a date to my parent's house" he joked giving Rory her favorite smile. "You know me better then that Ace. I am more of an extravagant guy."

"Yea, I happen to remember the last time we saw each other you gave me a pretty big parting gift."

"I would say I did." He joked with her as they walked back to the front door. He stopped her before she could walk out the door.

"What?" She asked a little bit confused that he had stopped her.

"When do I get to take you on a date again?"

"I don't know Logan. We have Lolo to think about it is not just us."

"You don't think she wouldn't love her parents being together?"

"No, she would love that. We can't just do it for that reason either."

"Rory I just want you happy. I want our daughter happy and I will spend the rest of my life making that happen, if we are together or not because I know I will love you for the rest of my life and that is all that matters."

"Sure know how to make a girl feel special don't you Huntzberger?" Rory said as she fought back tears at his small declaration of love.

"Only for you Ace."

"We should get going before we are late."

She gave him a small smile before walking past him and out the door. He followed her a few minutes later and got into the SUV after her. Logan had decided that he was going to drive them so that they wouldn't have anyone who could hear what is going on. Rory basically rambled the entire time to his parent's home, she was too nervous to not talk his head off. He just let her speak about what to say because he knew that she needed to get it off her chest. This is the girl who made pro con lists for everything so a little rambling was something he could afford her Logan thought as he drove. When they were almost there Rory told him to pull over and when he did she jumped out.

"I can't do this" she said as she leaned against the side of the car. "Logan I can't do this."

"We have to" he said coming around the car to stand in front of her. "I know you are scared, I am too after that letter, but we need to tell my parents now before anyone tells them before us." He took her hand and held it up to his heart. She just looked into his eyes un sure of what to say to him. "Ace we can do this."

"You have been a dad for less then a week and you are already doing a better job then me."

"I am pretty sure there are a lot of people who would disagree with that statement." He smiled down at her, the smile that Rory loved so much.

"Thank you Logan." She said with a smile and moved her hand off his chest so she could reach up and kiss his cheek. "Let's go."

He reached behind her and opened the door so she could get in. While they finished the drive to his parent's home he held her hand to calm her nerves. As soon as they arrived they parked the car and just sat there for a few minutes in silence. Rory finally took a deep breath and opened her door, Logan following her. When they reached the door her took her hand and mouthed 'together' before ringing the doorbell. A random maid answered the door and led them into the sitting room before taking their jackets and scurrying away from the room. It did not take long before Shira and Mitchum to make an appearance.

"Logan so who is the fine young lady you brought with you?" Mitchum asked as Logan and Rory stood up, Rory's back still turned to them. Logan gave her a quick confident look, calming Rory momentarily.

"It has been since Odette that you brought a girl. So introduce us to her." Shira said with a small smile to her son.

"You have already met her" Logan said simply as Rory turned around to face them. She never felt inferior in front of anyone until she was standing under the watchful and angry expression of Mitchum Huntzberger.

"Rory?" Shira said a bit shocked.

"Mr. and Mrs. Huntzberger it's a pleasure to see you two again." Rory said as Logan wrapped his arm around Rory in a protective manner.

"Rory what a surprise" Mitchum said while not even looking at her. He was glaring at Logan for bringing her. "Are you two back together?"

"No" Rory said even though for a split second she pictured herself saying yes and she fought the urge to smile at the thought.

"So what do we owe the honor?" Shira asked leading them into the dinning room. "Honor is off in Barbados with her son and two daughters so we were not expecting you this week Logan."

"Well Rory surprised me by flying out to London for coffee." Logan said as they sat down around the table. "She wanted to catch up on life so I thought I could return the favor by bringing her to dinner here."

"Ahh I see"Mitchum said with a not so convinced tone. The dinner was brought out a few minutes later and they ate in silence until dessert was served and finally Mitchum broke the silence. "Ok you two spill, what are you hiding?"

"Rory has a daughter" Logan said grabbing Rory's hand under the table.

"And?" Shira asked steadying herself for their response.

"Logan is her father. Her name is Logan, Logan Lorelai Gilmore" Rory said and before another word could be uttered Mitchum blew up.

"You have a child with my son and you just now tell us?! What do you want?! Money?! You won't get a penny out of us!" Mitchum roared standing up and hitting the table with his fists.

"She doesn't want any money dad!" Logan shot back as he stood up to defend Rory.

"Then why did she keep your child from all of us for years?!" Mitchum boomed at Logan the anger radiating off him like a hot plate.

"Because she was trying to protect our daughter."

"And how do you know this child is yours? What did she just say she was? You never know not with the way her mother acts!"

"Do not bring my mother into this!" Rory finally said standing up. "You can say all you want about me, but do not dare bring my mother into this or question who my daughter's father is. You have never met or seen her. Lolo is the spitting image of Logan not only in looks, but she acts just like him." Rory stepped away from her chair and went over to Mitchum. "I did what I did to protect my child from the likes of you and the people you associate yourself with! You tried marrying your own son off to a family who threatened to kill my child if the news of her ever got out. Now here I am risking her life because Logan wanted to heal bridges and tell you two." She took a deep breath before continuing. "She doesn't need to have people like you in her life who think her mother only told her father because she wants money. For your information Mitchum I have a pretty hefty inheritance thanks to my grandfather, I am a well renowned author, and I work for one of the most prestigious schools in the nation so I don't need or want your money."

"Rory-" Mitchum tried to say, but Rory interrupted him.

"I am not finished!" She yelled at him. "I do not lose my cool and you made me so listen. I don't need a DNA test to know who the father of my daughter is and if you saw her you wouldn't need one either. Now I am going to go home and I am going to live my life knowing my daughter is better off without two people in her life who do not care about her!" Rory finished before storming off to get her coat.

"Thanks dad" Logan said shaking his head and following Rory out into the foyer. "Rory wait up!"

"No Logan I am not going to stay here around those people" Rory said shrugging on her coat.

"And where are you going to go?"

"I don't know. I will catch a cab back to Stars Hollow I guess."

"And leave me here?" He smiled at her and grabbed his own coat.

"I need something to eat." She paused for a moment as they left the front door and then she smiled. "I need a burger."

"Let's go then Ace."
