Chapter 8
Rory POV
She wasn't sure she was looking forward to this. Logan had called her earlier to confirm that they were on for dinner tonight at the Gilmores' and then the enormity of what she was about to do set in and she was feeling so nervous she thought she might be sick.
She picked up her phone off her bed and dialled her Gran's number as she made her way to the closet to pick out an outfit for the evening.
"Hello" even over the phone Trix sounded very British and very stern, "Rory darling what do I owe the pleasure of this call?"
"Hi gran I'm just calling about tonight's dinner are you ready for the drama?" as she spoke she knew her gran would pick up on the anxiety in her voice.
"Dear do not worry we have thought this through, myself and young Huntzberger with be there for you the whole time".
"But Gran mom will be so disappointed and angry at me, how do I deal with that".
"Darling I do not want to hear another word about it, you are telling them today they have a right to know"
They ended the call soon after and Rory was just putting the finishing touches on her make-up when Logan knocked on her window.
"Hey you come on in I'm almost done."
Logan's POV
"Yeah you look beautiful" Logan went and sat on her bed waiting for her to finish. He knew that she was nervous about the fallout of their revelations but he didn't think it would be that bad.
Yes their main problems would be their mothers; Shira would not be happy with not being able to pick a trophy wife for Logan and Lorelai would be upset Rory married into society and also did it without telling her.
The Gilmores and the Haydens would be happy that she married for love, would have anything she wanted and had married someone with a good family in society. Mitchum would be pleased Logan was settling down and getting more serious about the future and Elias would simply be happy that it was Trix's granddaughter. The two of them went way back as old friends and he would give Rory a chance simply for her.
"Sweetheart we need to leave now if we're going to get there on time and Emily will not be happy if we show up late, it's rude."
"Alright"
The drive to the Gilmore residence was mostly filled with quiet murmurings of what they would say and how they would explain it. Logan had a bit of an idea after telling his sister but they would have to do it carefully.
As Logan pulled the car into the drive way they could see Trix already there waiting for them to arrive, they left the car to greet her.
"Well now that you're here we can enter together" with that said the turned and rapped on the door sharply with her cane and waited for the maid to answer. When she did get the door Trix immediately started to berate her, "Really is it too hard to answer the door before the people on the other side die of old age and exposure to the elements"
The poor maid looked terrified but quickly ushered them in, took their coats, told them everyone else was in the living room and hurried off to avoid any more complaints.
Rory seemed to take a deep breathe to steady herself then walked into the room with Logan's hand on her lower back guiding her gently.
"Hey I'm here and this is my surprise" she said as she indicated to her gran and Logan.
Richard was shocked he couldn't believe his mother was here without telling him but then again she always was a minx he had just finished greeting her when he noticed that Logan Huntzberger was standing with his Granddaughter and that gave him something to ponder. How did his sweet Rory know Mitchum Huntzberger's play boy son, not that he had anything against him it's just he didn't think they socialised in the same circles even if they would both be at Yale this year.
They all sit down with drinks in hand and began to make small talk, asking after Rory's grades, Logan's family, Lorelai and Richards work and Trix's health. Then they got down to the heart of the matter, why they were all there?
"Now not to be rude or anything but will someone say something, Gran why did you come in with Rory and who is this guy?" Lorelai was starting to get really agitated, she knew something was going on and she wanted to be told and not just kept in the dark.
Everyone could see Rory take a moment to steady herself and then take Logan's hand before she began to talk.
"Well Gran is with us because I asked her to be here and this mom is Logan Huntzberger….. my husband"
You could have heard a pin drop in the room after that, all three were simply stunned this was not what they imagined when Rory said she had a surprise, when did their angelic Rory get married.
After letting the words and the shock settle in Lorelai was furious.
"Rory what the hell goes on in your head anymore, you got married?, This isn't the plan the plan was Chilton, Harvard, New York Times, CNN then marriage and a family, you're not following the plan"
Everyone could see that she was working up steam for a second blow when Trix decided it was time to intervene.
"That is enough Lorelai we are discussing his like civilised adults, now these two met this summer in Europe and dated throughout that time until they arrived in London and decided they were going to get married. They love each other and went into this with their eyes wide open and have no intention of letting anyone tear them apart."
No one in the room could doubt the fire in her voice as she said this but still Lorelai tried to talk some sense into her daughter.
"Rory honey this can't be what you want your marrying into society, you don't want this life"
Rory really couldn't believe her own mother would try something like this, she should be happy for her not try to talk out of it like a child that needs patronising.
"Well sorry mom but I decided Logan is what I want if you can't accept that then so be it"
No one knew what to say after that, Rory usually avoided confrontation but here she was putting her mother in her place.
To avoid more fights Emily asked the question she wanted
"Where are your rings you two?"
In response they pulled their rings from their necklaces and put them on then showed them off. They had simple wedding bands but Rory's engagement ring was really something to look at, a Tiffany's soleste 1.5 carat diamond ring that cost logan nearly £20,000 but as he said she deserved it and more.
After showing off the rings they moved onto dinner, with conversation focused on the pairs plans for the future and how and when they planned to tell everyone else.
The coupleleft shortly after eating with making their goodbyes as quickly as possible along with a promise not to say anything until Sunday, by then the Haydens and the Huntzbergers would know as well. They just hoped they went more smoothly than this one.
Well that's it I hope you all like it, sorry it took so long to update but life just got in the way. I plan on updating more and I will put a link on my profile with Rory's ring.
