"Just to warn you, this place can turn into a madhouse fast. It's practically band headquarters and Steve and Kwan adore and are fascinated by Gil." Rory stated as they walked up the sidewalk to the front door.
"A guy named Gil?" Logan asked intrigued and Rory nodded. Knocked and opened the front door.
"Hello!" Rory called throughout the house announcing her presence.
"Hey!" Lane called popping her head out from around a corner. "Logan! What a surprise." Lane stammered making wide eyes at Rory.
"Hey Lane, it's been awhile." Logan greeted.
"Yes, it has. Excuse us." Lane said grabbing Rory and pulling her away. "Make yourself comfortable on the couch!" She called back and took Rory to the kitchen. "Logan?" Lane questioned.
"Yes, Logan." Rory said. "He left Odette and is moving back to the states and we're back together."
"Wow, okay you've been busy since Lorelai's wedding." Lane said. "I mean Logan in Stars Hollow. He hasn't been here before."
"Yes he has, shortly after the boys were born, we came home for Spring Fling." Rory reminded.
"Oh yeah, the blurred weeks." Lane said.
"Hey babe, Zac called through the house as he opened the door. I just heard that rich boy's back in town!" He said closing the door and walked into the living room to see Logan sitting on his couch. "And he's sitting on our couch, okay, you know already. Hey, Logan is it?"
"Yeah, hey Zach how are you?" Logan asked
"Uh fine, working, doing the dad thing, band thing."
"Yeah I remember seeing your boys shortly after they were born." Logan recalled.
"Yeah they're a bit bigger now." Zach said.
"Right." Logan said and Rory and Lane appeared in the room and Logan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry about that, and him." Lane said as Rory sat on the couch next to Logan and Lane gave Zach and evil eye.
"Right, can I get you guys some water? Anything?" Zach asked.
"We're fine." Rory stated.
"Okay well, I just wanted to pop in for a second to tell you Logan was in town but since he's in our house, I guess I don't have to, I'm going to head to the sandwich shop and make sure everything's all set for the gig tonight." Zach explained.
"Later, Zach" Rory said as he walked out.
"Sorry about him." Lane said.
"It's fine." Logan said."
"So one of you needs to explain." Lane said. "Last I heard I was sitting where Logan is right now yelling at him for being the guy you can't quit. How did we get from there to here?"
"Well, New Hampshire happened." Rory said. At the confused look on Lane's face she took a deep breath and filled her in on their night traipsing through Stars Hollow and ending up in New Hampshire as a last hurrah.
"Wow, you really believe in 'go big or go home' don't you, Logan? And you better not tell that story too many more times. Taylor is still out for blood."
"We've heard," Logan said. "Okay, so you have a last hurrah. How's that lead to you here?" Lane asked.
"I think I can take this next section." Logan said. "As you know Rory started being in Hartford writing." Logan began and Lane nodded. "I went back to London, and when I did I had every intention to make it work with Odette, but it didn't and I ended things about two weeks later." He looked at Rory who opened her mouth to take over.
"Then the day after the wedding. I went to London because, I had some news for him. We reconnected and I stayed in London for a week while he made plans at work to get transferred back to the States. We closed on a house a couple days ago on the Upper East Side and will be moving in about two weeks."
"What kind of news could make a guy transfer across the ocean and buy a house with a girl?" Lane asked. "Oh my God. Oh my God! Are you? Are you pregnant, Rory?"
"Yes, yes we are." Rory said and both girls jumped up, hugged each other and started shrieking, jumping up and down. "Woah, too much jumping. Rory said and they stopped.
"How are you feeling? When are you due?" Lane asked.
"End of May." Rory stated. "And first trimester fun is just getting into full swing. Fatigue is taking over, and morning sickness and nausea are definitely coming on.
"Well it's been ten years and mine was worse but anything you need pregnancy wise, I'm here, and congratulations guys on everything!" Lane said.
"Thank you, outside of family you're the first one we've told." Rory said.
"Really, I figured Paris would be your doctor?" Lane said.
"If it was invitro definitely, but seeing as it just kind of happened, I figured we don't need someone as specialized as Paris. Let her help those who need it." Rory said.
"You two have fun explaining that to her." Lane said and Logan turned slightly pale.
"Ace, how bad is this going to be?" Logan asked.
"Worst thing she can do is insist she be my doctor." Rory said.
"Suddenly thinking you should tell Paris by yourself." Logan said.
"It'll be fine. You've spared with Paris before." Rory said.
"Yes, but I'm so out of practice on it." Logan said.
"You're keeping up with Lorelai, that's training for Paris." Lane added,
"I feel that there will be a lot more insults from Paris that Lorelai is keeping in." Logan said and Lane nodded in agreement.
"Well guys I would love to catch up more but school just got out and the boys are on their way here so happy adult time is over and forcing homework completion begins." Lane said. "Seriously guys, be thankful you're only having one at a time."
"Thanks Lane, we'll talk soon." Rory said and she and Logan stood and put their coats and scarves back on and headed outside.
"Can we just go back to your moms?" Logan asked. I should probably check in with the office."
"Yeah of course, I'd like to get a little writing in and maybe nap." Rory said.
"Tired?" He asked.
"Yeah, growing a Huntzburger is hard work." Rory said and smiled at Logan who smiled back. Took her arm and walked her back to the Gilmore-Danes home.
