Ch 10
Rory POV
"Hey Pop" Alex exclaims as we walk into HG to meet Logan for dinner Friday before our sleepover. It's also Valentine's Day and Logan already sent two beautiful bouquets of roses to my apartment. I picked up Alex from daycare and took him for his haircut and he was great. No yelling or complaining. Mitchum is talking to someone in the hallway as Alex runs to him.
"Hey little man, did you get your hair cut" Mitchum says lifting up his grandson up and I smile. He's not really the dark lord anymore. Alex brought out the softer side of Mitchum. Something I never thought possible.
"Rory took me and me got a lolli" he says and Mitchum looks at me.
"No screaming" he says surprised setting him down.
"Nope" I state coughing a little as Logan walks out of his office.
"Daddy" Alex states running to Logan.
"Look at you buddy" he says lifting him up. His hair is still full with the thickness that I love but shorter on the top so you can see his eyes, it's also shorter on the sides and the kid has ears image that.
"I got a lolli see" he states sticking his blue tongue out to Logan and we laugh.
"So you did, what about you Ace, get a lolli too" he smirk and so does Mitchum.
"No, she has bellyache so I got two" Alex says holding up the green one.
"You're sick" Logan says concerned and Mitchum nods before heading back to his office.
"Getting there I think" I say. Logan walks over and touches my forehead.
"You're burning up, Dad we're leaving" he states.
"No, I'll be fine, but I think Alex shouldn't be around me, I don't want him to get sick" she says.
"You're cancelling on us" Logan says and I can hear the disappointment in his voice.
"I'm getting sick, can't I get a rain check" I state looking at him almost begging, using the bambi eyes and everything.
"Only because you're sick" he says putting Alex down and he goes off after Mitchum, leaving us alone in the hallway.
"Can you make it home" he questions hugging me. I just want to curl up with him on the couch and sleep until Sunday like we used to in Yale, but Alex can't get sick.
"Yeah, it's only a few blocks, I hate cancelling. I hate that it's Valentine's Day and I'm sick. I hate being sick" I say whining, laying my head down on his chest. He rubs my back because he knows that I hate being sick too.
"Call me when you get there" he says kissing my forehead and I nod. I need to sleep. I head to the elevator to leave.
Logan POV
"Rory sick daddy" Alex says as I walk into Dad's office.
"She is buddy she won't be coming over tonight. It's just going to be us" I say and he's disappointed. You can see it on his face. He was looking forwards to the weekend.
"Rory was staying over" Dad questions me knowing no one stays over when Alex is home.
"We were trying it out to see if Alex could handle it" I state looking at him.
"You really love her don't you?" Dad questions me and I smile.
"More than before; I can't picture my life without her. I hate that she leaves at night and isn't there in the morning" I state.
"Go take care of her and I'll take Alex with me to Hartford, Honor's having Ava's birthday tomorrow anyways, so stay in the city and let me spend some time with my grandson" Dad says. He's only took Alex for a few hours. "What do you say, Alex let daddy take care of Rory and you get to stay at Pop's" Dad says and Alex looks at me.
"Me want help too" he says.
"Here" Dad says handing him some paper and pencil. "I bet an Alex original would make Rory feel better in no time" he says.
"Okay" he says taking it from Dad and beginning.
"Are you sure?" I question Dad.
"Yes, now go make the calls you need and I'll stop by for his bag at your place when I'm done here" he says and I could almost hug him. I walk back to my office and call Bella Nota, the Italian place that Ace loves their chicken soup. I finish up the work as she calls. She sounds horrible and I told her to get into bed and I'll check on her later. I head out with Alex to get his bag and Ava's present that Rory and him bought the other day. Dad picked him up around 7 and I headed to pick up what we would need for the weekend; soups, ginger ale, cold medicines, tissues and movies. Rory rarely gets sick so when she does is triple. I let myself in with my key and everything is dark. I quietly put everything away and get the bed tray out from the cabinet, loading it up with medicine and water. I head into the bedroom and it's dark. I place the tray on the end table and try to find her under the mound of blankets on her.
"Ace" I say softly and she mumbles. "Ace" I say running my hand across her cheek lightly and she finally registers that I'm there.
"Logan" she barely gets out before coughing like crazy.
"Here" I say handing her some water.
"Why are you here and where's Alex?" she questions.
"With my dad if you can believe it" I smirk.
"Too sick, I think you just said you sent Alex with Mitchum" she says closing her eyes again. She's horrible and just like a little kid when she's sick.
"I did now move over" I state and she looks at me.
"No way, if you get sick who's going to look after Alex. Get out" she states pointing to the bathroom and not the door.
"Ace, deal with it, I'm here and I'm taking care of you until Sunday" I state. That got her to move over.
"Now come here" I say opening my arm and letting her snuggle into my side with her head planted on my chest.
"Thank you" she mumbles and I know she's almost back to sleep. This is what we did in Yale. Just close ourselves off for the weekend and I took care of her. She slept and hydrated all weekend. Not to mention all the sex we had.
"You know staring at your boyfriend when he's trying to sleep is quite annoying" I say opening my eyes and finding Rory staring at me from my chest a few hours later.
"You're actually here" she says and I nod. "You actually sent Alex with Mitchum?" she questions again and I nod.
"Are you bloody mad" she jumped up out of bed and grabbed her head and I jump up and I grab her so she wouldn't fall.
"Easy" I say helping her sit back down.
"Dizzy" she says and I nod. She probably didn't eat anything all day. That's never good especially for a Gilmore.
"You need to eat" I state and she shakes her head.
"Everything comes up" she says and I look at her. I wasn't expecting that.
"When did this start? You were fine last week" I state helping her lay back down.
"Wednesday" she replies.
"Doctor" I question and she looks at me like I'm glowing green or have three heads.
"Right, sorry. I forgot you're a Gilmore and all Gilmore hate doctors and refuse to get medicine even on their deathbeds. Got it" I smirk walking out to get some soup.
"Logan" I hear he whine from the bedroom ten minutes later and I walk back with the warm soup and crackers.
"Yes" I state smirking at her. She always whines when sick.
"Make me feel better" she says reaching out for me.
"I'm trying Ace, but you need to eat" I state placing the soup on the tray.
"No. make…me…feel better" she smirks and I look at her. She wants sex, somehow when either one of us is sick we still need that.
"Will you eat afterwards?" I question and she nods. I crawl into bed and pull her close. I start kissing her neck and she doesn't feel that warm as she did earlier. That's a good sign.
"More" she says and I smirk. I slowly run my hands down her side and lift her shirt up I lean down kissing her stomach and side and she moans.
"Does that feel good?" I question her as I remove her long sleeved shirt off completely and smirking when she has nothing on underneath.
"Naughty girl" I state and she smirks.
"Logan" she yells when I take her nibble into my mouth and suck it hard. That's what she gets for not having a bra on. I massage her breasts and love how they fit perfectly into my hands. She's moaning like crazy and barely did anything. Her senses are crazy when sick and make making love to her so much better. I switch to the other side as my right hand explores her side and she shakes as the chills over take her.
"Want to stop" I question after I feel her shake. If she's getting cold we're stopping.
"You better not stop" she demands and I attack her neck and she yells out. He skins is so soft like silk and I love it. I can feel her hands on my back and it's driving me crazy.
"Take this off" she whines pulling my shirt up. I sit up and rip it over my head. Throwing it to the side when I feel her hands scratching down my chest and I look down at her.
"You're beautiful" I say caressing her cheek.
"Make me feel beautiful" she says and I completely forget about her cold when I capture her mouth and tongue with mine. I need to feel her kiss. Breaking the kiss, I leave a trail of kisses down her neck, chest and onto her stomach. She's making sounds that are make me so hard, but I want this to be slow and passionate.
"Logan" she moans as I kiss her hip bones and gently sliding her sweatpants down. I continue the light kisses on her thighs and down her calves as I pull the pants all the way off and realize that she has no panties on. That's an instant hardness.
"Ace" I groan and she smirk at me.
"What" she plays innocent. She's so not innocent.
"Nothing, nothing at all" I state bending her legs up and devouring myself into her core and she screams out in pleasure. I lick her core and can taste how wet she is. She's always so sweet and juicy.
"Ahh" she yells as I insert two fingers into her and thrust them in and out as I watch her. She's incredibly sexy when she doing this.
"Logan" she says stopping my hand and I look up.
"I need you" she says and all her want is bursting out of her eyes. I pull her draw open and grab a condom. She pulls it out and rolls it on me quickly before I enter her swiftly. She screams out in pleasure and she's so tight. She's always so tight. I thrust harder into her and she bucks up into the thrust. It's so hard not to cum when she does that.
"Easy" I whisper into her ear and she clams herself. I find the perfect rhythm and it work incredibly. Making love to Ace is like nothing I ever felt before. I want this feeling of completion for the rest of my life. I want to make her feel this ecstasy every night for the rest of our lives. I can feel her walls tighten around my erection and I know how close she is. I speed up and thrust harder and deeper inside her. She screaming in pleasure and I want to cum so bad, it's too hard to contain.
"Ace" I say hoarsely and she tightens around my hard and explodes as she screams out for me and I follow within seconds. Breathing erratic, I roll off her and try to catch my breath. I glance over at her and she has her eyes closed and smiling. That's a good feeling. I get up and head to the bathroom to get cleaned up, only stopping briefing to grab my boxers. I walk back and see her sitting up in bed with my shirt on.
"Hi" I state sitting on the bed.
"I can eat now" she smiles and I lean over and kiss her.
"I figured" I state grabbing the tray from the side table and placing it over her lap. She finishes it all and some crackers before lying back down.
"Mimi me" I hear Lorelai yell on the answering machine as I'm cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen. She must have the phone on silent because it never rang.
"She's sleeping" I state answering the phone.
"Wait, why is she sleeping and why are you there? Isn't this the big sleepover night" Lorelai questions.
"She's sick" I state.
"No" Lorelai says not believing me.
"Yes, 101 fever and chills" I state.
"No, not this weekend, she was so excitedly to be staying over. Is Alex there too, do you need me to come down. I'll take care of her. Alex should be around her if she's sick" she says worried just like a grandmother would be.
"Alex is in Hartford with my Dad and I'll take care of her Lorelai" I say.
"You sent you child to Hartford willingly, man you're in love aren't you, its clouding your judgment kid. Next time call me, I will take him Will has been complaining that he hasn't seen him in weeks" she says and I smile as I feel Ace's arms around my waist.
"Thanks Lorelai and next time you'll be first on the list" I say.
"Mom" she says hoarsely, her sore throat is getting worse.
"Yes, now back to bed you" I state pointing to the room.
"Fine, I want something to drink" she complains walking away.
"Take care of her and call if you need anything" Lorelai says before hanging up. I head back to the bedroom and crawl into bed next to her. Just holding her while she sleeps make everything worth it.

Flashback
"Nikki we need to talk" I say walking into the studio as she's finishing up the fashion shot.
"Oh good you're here" she says sarcastically. It's September exactly 4 month since Ace and broke up. I met Nikki at crazy Vegas party for Finn in June weeks after I walked away from Ace. She's a model and exactly what the old Logan would want. We spent the last 3 months casual and I found myself comparing the two and realized I'm still in love with Rory. I need some time alone before getting in another relationship.
"I can't do this anymore" I state and she looks at me.
"What do you mean you can't do this" she demands.
"I don't love you, hell I don't even like you anymore. It's always about you and partying. I don't even know how you're breathing with all the drugs in your systems. I'm out. It was fun but it's just not working" I say and she bursts out laughing.
"It's not funny, I mean it" I state. Nikki is so opposite of Ace, it's the reason I went for her. She was carefree and adventurous. She loved to party and have a good time. She was always the center of attention and I liked it. Having the spot light off me and blending into the background.
"It's just perfect timing Logie. I'm pregnant and you're breaking up with me" she laughs and I stare at her. We have been nothing but unfaithful to one another and I'm sick of it. I want something solid, I want something real. Hell, I want Ace.
"Is it even mine" I smirk and she slaps my face.
"I may have cheated on you with Pierre, Jonathan and Antonio but you were the only one that I did with without a condom Huntzberger" she states.
"I want a paternity test Nikki. Honestly I don't believe you and still can't believe that I was dumb enough to do that to begin with" I demand.
"Maybe you're not as smart as you seem after all you let your precious Ace go didn't you" she smirks and I stare at her. How could she even know about Ace? "Oh, that's right no one can talk about her can we. She's so taboo that you have to hide her picture in your desk draw. Or that you call her voicemail once a month just to hear her voice. Do you know how pathetic that is" she laughs.
"You have no idea what you're talking about" I yell. Yes, I do all those but I can't let her go. I was wrong with the whole ultimatum thing and want to fix things, but no one knows where she is not even the girls.
"Fine whatever, I want 5 million and you can have the kid. I certainly don't want it. So there's the deal. You want the kid, I get the money. Maybe if you run back to your precious Ace and beg for her forgiveness, she'll help you raise it. After all she's a saint in your eyes" she states. I always knew she was a gold digger. I should have seen this coming.
"That's it, that's all you want" I state knowing I could never terminate my own child. There has to more.
"No, actually I want you to pay for everything including doctors, clothing and all my bills for the next 7 months and then you can have this child and I get a check for 5 million" she smirks. I want to hit her but I won't.
"Full parental rights to me, sole custody you don't come back. You also stop all the drugs and alcohol use for the next few months. I don't want my child to have anything wrong with it because you're a bitch and would do something horrid like that. After the paternity test, then we'll discuss when you get the check" I state fuming.
"Fine" she yells pissed off. She's never gone more than two days without cocaine or alcohol. This should be entertaining at least.
"Fine, you'll hear from my attorney" I yell slamming the door and leaving.
7months later
"Nikki you need to breathe" I state as she's in full labor. I don't care that she hates me; I wanted to see my son being born.
"I hate you" she states and I nod.
"I know you do, but you'll be rid of me soon enough" I state knowing that Dad already transferred the money into the account and Nikki signed the papers earlier in the day. She kept her promise and stopped cold turkey on the drugs and alcohol. I kept mine and paid for everything. Dad made a deal with me, I go back to HG and he's write the check for Nikki and in three weeks, we will be back on the East Coast. And I can forget all about Nikki Anderson and the last few months. I will have my son and that is all that matters.
"One more push" the doctor says and she does. Within second, we hear the baby crying and I smile looking at my boy. I'm a father, I have a son. I never thought this day would happen.
"He goes to his father" Nikki says turning away as the nurse goes to give her the baby.
"Hold him Nik" I say and she shakes no. "He's your son too" I state. I don't care what the agreement says; he will always be her son. She should hold him.
"Take your son Logan" she demands and the nurse walks over and hands him to me. Fine, let her be that way. I tired of trying to make her see that she can be a mother. I'm just tired of trying with her. She wants nothing to do with either of us, fine!
"Hey there little man" I say turning away from Nikki. This is one of the happiest days of my life. I have a son. Another human body I'm responsible for. I promise him right then and there that I will never be my father and that I will always love him. I will always make him top priority and show him what a real childhood should be.
"He has to get some test done now" the nurse says and I hand him back to her.
"I'm going to get clothes and I'll be back" I state to Nikki who looks out of it.
"Whatever" she states not looking at me.
"What is going on" I demand walking back into the Labor and delivery floor at two hours later to see security everywhere.
"Ms. Anderson is gone" the nurse from earlier states.
"Excuse me" I say confused. She couldn't just leave like that, can she?
"She was taken off her IV bag and wanted to take a shower, which we encouraged, but then I went in to check on her and she was gone. Bag, clothes everything" she says.
"And my son" I state ready to kill someone of he's gone.
"He's in the nursery. How could a mother do that?" she states. I calm down knowing that he is still here.
"She never wanted to be a mother in the first place" I state walking away to see the baby.
"She left this in the room for you" the doctor says coming into the nursery and I see that it's the custody paperwork from earlier and the birth certificate.
"She never filled it out" I state. Nikki is one of kind that's for sure. She got her money and that's all she ever wanted. She didn't even name our son, no scratch that my son.
"I guess that's up to you sir" he says handing it to me. I spend the rest of the day with the baby and its hurts knowing that she just lift like that. I know she didn't want this, but he's an innocent baby. He doesn't deserve a mother who abandons him. I watch couples taking pictures of their child together and realize that I may have a son, but not a real family. My phone breaks the quiet of the room and I answer it seeing as its Honor.
"Hey daddy" she says laughing.
"Hey big sis" I state.
"Dad told me everything and I'm sorry" she says. I called dad earlier and told him that Nikki was gone.
"I need a name Honor and I can't think of one" I say and she laughs.
"What about Alexander" she says and I look at the bassinet. Alexander why does that sound familiar? Then it hits me.
"Alexander Pushkin" I state smirking. Thinking of the time we interrupted Ace's Professor Bell class and I found her in the library stiffing books. Boy, was she pissed. Beautiful but extremely pissed off.
"Isn't he one of your favorite authors or something" she questions.
"It's perfect Honor thank you" I smile grabbing a pen. No one will understand it but me, and I like it.
"Alexander Elias Huntzberger" I say while writing it on the paper to get the birth certificate done.
Hartford
"He's precious Logan" Honor says holding him over her 5 month belly. We arrived in Hartford last night and she was waiting.
"Thanks, at least I can do something right" I state getting a drink from the bar.
"You taking for responsibility of your son is doing the right thing; I'm proud of you" she says.
"Thanks, but I have no idea what I'm going to do. How can I do this alone?" I say sitting across from her and Alexander.
"That's where you're wrong. I'm here, Dad is here and all your friends, you're not alone Logan. We are all here and will help you" she says laying Alex in the bassinet the maid brought in for us. Dad had the entire guest room next to my old room into a nursery for him. I'm staying here until I figure a few things out.
"Your sister is right son. We never turn our back on family and you did the right thing" Dad says coming into the living room.
"I know that, but he deserves the best and that's two parents" I state.
"Maybe someday you will give him that, just make sure she loves Alexander more than you. It's the only way she will step into a mother role and make him hers" Dad says.
"I will never find someone like that" I state.
"That's because you already let her go" Honor states getting up. She's talking about Ace and I know it. I was wrong and now I was dealt a hand that I need to become that person she always saw in me. Put my son first and foremost.
End of Flashback
"Logan" Ace says shaking me awake.
"What…what... are you okay" I questions placing my hand on her forehead. No fever, that's good. It's late Saturday and we slept most of the day. I haven't done that in years. Holding her all night is something that I missed. Something that I want more than anything right now, we need to stop holding off and move to the next step.
"You were tossing and turning, question is are you okay?" she questions. I never sleep like that and it must have triggered that something was wrong.
"Fine now that I have you Ace" I state pulling her down on top of me.
"That was cheesy mister" she laughs.
"You're throat is sounding better" I say kissing her neck.
"You're a good doctor, if all the doctors gave special attention like you did last night, maybe I would go more often" she smirks and I look at her.
"No one better touch you like that except for me" I state and I know I'm being possessive but I don't care.
"No one but you Huntzberger, I promise" she smiles leaning in and kissing me.
"So are you going to tell me about what made you restless or do I have to guess" she questions as we sit in bed eating the sandwiches and soup I brought in. She is flipping through the channels for a movie or something. It's about 2:30pm and it's the first meal we're eating.
"Just everything with Nikki and Alex" I say not looking at her.
"Logan, its okay to think about it, Mom still does with Dad. I know you had this life before we got back together. It's okay. You made the right decision with Alex and I'm proud of you for becoming responsible for him. He's amazing, brilliant and incredible and that' has to do with you and not Nikki" she states.
"You know he's name after Pushkin right" I smirk and she nods.
"I figured that out months ago" she smiles. I knew she would.
"It just fit him" I state and she looks at me.
"Do you want more kids" she questions looking at her soup. I drop my spoon and look at her. I wasn't expecting that especially at the beginning of our relationship.
"If they are with you yes" I state making her look at me.
"When" she questions me and I stare at her for a moment. What is going on in that head?
"When it's right, when we're ready, why?" I question her.
"Steph's pregnant, she confirmed it on Tuesday. It just got me thinking about you, me, Alex and the future" she says playing with her soup. I take it away and move the tray. I need her attention and her playing with the soup won't give it to me.
"Ace, I'm not going to push you into having a future you don't want. We're only back together two months, but I know I love you and I know that this time things are going to be right. We'll figure things out as we go, unless you want something more than what you're saying" I tell her holding her hands.
"I'm 27 Logan; things are different than they were 5 years ago. I seen the world, I traveled, I got all that I wanted by sacrificing love for it and I don't want to do it anymore. If I could go back and change things I would, but I can't. I just don't want to wait anymore" she says and I look at her.
"What are you saying?" I question. I need to hear it from her.
"I'm ready for this, for all of this. I want you. I want to be the mother Alex wants, I want it to be you I'm coming home to. I want it all. Let's move in together" she says and I cup her face kissing her passionately. That's what I wanted to hear. This is finally coming together.
Yes!! they are moving in!! Like it, please review
