AN: Thank you again for reading and for leaving a review. It means a lot to me! I am glad that you enjoyed the first chapter about Rory and Lorelai, even though it might have not been what you expected and despite the fact that you do not agree with Rory's decision. I am trying to keep the story as realistic as possible and personally I do not agree with Rory's decision either, but it will be explained in future chapters.

Chapter 10

After returning from the hospital with the new baby, Rory went inside her bedroom and put the baby down in the expensive DockATot. She still could not believe she let herself be convinced to buy the thing, but it was the latest fashion for babies and other mothers on Instagram seemed to think it is the best thing since powered milk. Furthermore, Lorelai insisted, so after that there was no way little Lorelai would not have one.

"It is just you and me now, little Lorelai." Rory said to her daughter, while lying down on the bed next to the DockATot holding the baby.

"We definitely need to find you a nickname. This will get confusing fast. If only your daddy were here with us. He would help me decide what to call you." Rory said with a sad smile thinking about the baby's father.

"Let me tell you something though. No matter what happens, I will be here for you. I was so scared and so lost, but you are what my life had been missing. I keep running and running from all the good things in my life, but now that I have you, there is no other place I would rather be. You ground me"

"I have to admit though, that when I first found out about you, I was terrified."

Several months ago

"Mom"

"Yeah" Lorelai turned to look at her daughter

"I'm pregnant!" In that moment it felt like the entire world stopped. Lorelai was shocked, but Rory was terrified of her mother's reaction. Rory knew that all her mother did since she gave birth to her was try to ensure that she would not have the same fate and now she went and got herself in this predicament.

"What?" Lorelai asked again as she could not believe what she had just heard.

"I am pregnant." Rory said with even more tears in her eyes. Lorelai was in shock, she did not know how to react or what to do. Her first instinct was to start yelling at Rory, but she knew that she had to control herself. Lorelai promised herself long time ago that she would do the opposite of what her own mother had done years ago if this were to happen.

"It is going to be alright" Lorelai said finally.

"How?" Rory asked her mother, looking for some encouragement.

"I don't know yet, but we will deal with it."

"Deal with it? You don't mean…"

"Of course not!" Lorelai immediately reacted. "Unless you want to?" Lorelai then asked with caution.

"No." Rory said in a slightly calmer, but determined tone. If there was one thing she knew for sure was that she would keep the baby. While Rory was all for women being allowed to do whatever they wanted, she knew for sure that abortion was not something she could even consider. This was her baby, it was part of her, but it was also all she had left from him. It was simply not a choice for her, not now.

"Good. We will find a solution. We will find a way to raise this baby and make sure it has everything it could ever wish for." Lorelai said with more conviction. This was definitely not the way she wanted to become a grandmother, but inside Rory was her first grandchild and she would do anything to protect it.

"Thank you!" Rory said quietly. "Do you hate me?" Rory then asked her mother, slightly afraid of her answer.

"No, of course not. Don't you know by now? There is nothing you could ever do that would make me hate you. You are my baby and there is nothing I would not do for you."

"Thank you!" Rory said crying and then jumped to hug her mother. She truly needed a hug at that moment. There was no way she could do this without Lorelai's help; she needed her mother.

A few minutes later, Lorelai asked the one question that remained unanswered.

"Rory?"

"Hmm?"

"Did you tell the father?"

"No."

"Are you planning to tell him?"

"I haven't decided. He has the right to know, but I am just not sure whether I can." Rory finally said. She really wanted to tell the father, but she was afraid of how he would react and what would happen afterwards. She did not want her baby to have a father like hers, one that was in and out of the picture when it suited him.

"He does." Lorelai was dying to find out who the father was, but she did not want to upset her daughter further. She had her suspicions, but she could not afford to anger Rory as she was already overly emotional.

"It's Logan's by the way."

"Oh?"

"The baby's father is Logan."

"Huntzberger?"

"How many Logans do you know?"

"Well,…"

"Okay, how many Logans do you know that I slept with?"

"I was just teasing you. I know that you would have not slept with another Logan. That would have been creepy."

"Mum!"

"What? Just saying"

"Thank you again."

Present time

"I was afraid, but the moment I told your grandma about you and especially the moment she asked me what were my plans, I knew. There was no way I would let you go. I had no job, no money and no idea what to do with a baby, but I knew I loved you even then. I still have no idea what to do with you, but we will find out together. You will help mummy, right?" Rory asked baby Lorelai and then kissed her small, little pink nose.

As she laid there, next to her daughter on her queen sized bed, Rory could not help but wonder, how it would be like if Logan were there. With that final thought, Rory feel asleep, entering the beautiful word of dreams, where everything is possible.

AN: This is just the beginning. Here you should have found out a few more things about Rory and her decision, but the rest will be explained in more detail in future chapters.

Some you asked me about the baby and about how Mitchum and Finn knew that she was Logan's. It was not specified anywhere (on purpose), but they did not actually know. Finn knew that Rory was involved with Logan again so he assumed. He knows about how strong their connection is and he cannot even fathom the idea of Rory having a baby with someone else. Mitchum on the other hand, did not know per se, but he also assumed, considering that he was not fooled by the whole 'seeing a friend for lunch' thing he witnessed while Rory was in London. Furthermore, he wanted to make sure he had all the facts before the news hit the papers so that he could do damage control if needed.

Do let me know what you think and hope you enjoyed! Until next time.
