Hey readers Thanks you so much for waiting so long for this chapter. I hope you like it.

As I pulled into the driveway of what once use to be my childhood home, the nerves started to take control. The next few hours, where in some-way going to be so instrumental to the overall picture of my life. I knew that no matter the outcome of what was to take place over the next two or so hours, that I was going to marry Logan and also be named the Hayden Heir publicly.
All I know is that it would go a lot easier if my mum would come on board but part of me fears that I will receive the same reaction I did when I decided to take a break from Yale. I mean, myself I was surprised at her reaction when I told her I was leaving the campaign trail because I was pregnant and the child was Logan's.
Three months ago
I am three months into my time on the campaign trail and for the last month I have been waking up feeling sick and having to run to the bathroom. I was hoping that is was just some 24 hour bug that I had picked up along the way because if it wasn't then there was only one other explanation…I was pregnant.
I was happy when later that day the sickness had stopped and I could finally get on with my job but when over the next two weeks the same thing happened every morning, I did the only thing I could do I went to the supermarket and brought three different pregnancy test. When arriving back at my motel, I proceeded to drink much coffee as I could till I was dying for a wee so I could take all test at the same time.
After waiting what was an agonizing five minutes I looked at the three tests in front of me and was faced with two positive and one negative. What did this mean? I decided there was only one thing I could do and that was going to the doctors. Lucky for me we have a 4 day layover in Chicago, so I was able to book an appointment and attend.
I explained to the doctor what had been happening and all about the test and she told me that she would take a blood test and proceed with a urine test aswell and let me know. I then explained to her the situation of my work and how at the moment I am moving from hotel to hotel. She explained to me that she will ring me with the results and that it turns out that I was indeed pregnant then I may in the long run have to give up the campaign trail after I had reached three months.
After having my bloods taken and done a urine test, I returned to my motel room thanking the lords that it was a relaxing day today and I would be able to catch up on my sleep because for the last two weeks being woken at three/four in the morning with the need to be sick really takes it out of you.
Over the next few days I kept myself busy with work and sleeping. You could say that I was part scared and part excited with what the results of my blood will show. Simply because part of me didn't want to leave this job as I loved it but also part of me really wanted to have a reason to go back home other then I missed my mum and Logan like no tomorrow. I mean if anyone asked if I missed home and my mum I would admit it in a heartbeat but if they asked me if I missed Logan I would tell them that I haven't given it a second thought when the truth is that I miss him and think about him every second I am not with him and these day that's always.
After a long day at work I decided to get a long hot bath but just as I was about to dip my big toe in I heard my mobile phone ringing in the other room. Grabbing a towel and wrapping it around myself I semi ran into the room and grabbed my phone picking it up somewhat out of breath.
"Hello" I answered hoping for it to be the doctor.
"Hello I am calling to talk to a Miss Lorelai Leigh Gilmore" I hear the voice on the other end of the line speak.
"Oh hi there Miss Gilmore I have Supreme Court Judge Strobe Hayden on the phone for you" my heart, which had just slowed down, once again began to race. Strobe Hayden was ringing me, but why? The last time I spoke to him, I was sixteen and he hated me well not me but the idea that I excited. Me and mum where the ones he blamed that dad had done nothing with his life. I then remembered the person on the other end of the line.
"Oh ok put him through then please" I said sure she could hear the fear that was voiced in my words.
"Leigh dear is that you" I hear the voice on the other end. Leigh whys he calling me Leigh?
"Yes Mr Hayden it's me Lorelai Leigh Gilmore but please people call me Rory" I say trying to make the call more formal.
"I hope you don't mind dear but I would rather call you Leigh as Rory sounds like a boy's name and Lorelai reminds me to much of your mother" He asked with politeness but I could hear the hatred he had for my mother when he somewhat hissed out her name.
"Sure I don't mind call me Leigh if you wish but may I ask what it is you called about? I don't mean to be rude and all but last time we spoke and saw each other you called me a mistake and I also wish to get a bath and have an early night due to having an early morning tomorrow" saying in somewhat of a Gilmore Girl rant.
"Well Leigh if you wish I will cut straight to the chase so be it. I wish to name you my Heir" He what? Was the first thought that came to my mind? After six years he rings me to tell me he wishes to name me his heir. I mean, is the guy crazy? Does he really think that after the way he treated me and the way he spoke to my mum, I would do such a thing?
"Leigh please hears me out. I know you must hate me after the way I treated you like you where a mistake. I am sorry I shouldn't have done that" I could hear the sorrow in his voice and I couldn't take it anymore plus I just wanted to get off the phone.
"Mr Hayden I forgive you I do, so here's what we are going to do. I am busy on the tour at the moment but in a month's time, I get two weeks rest and I will have lunch with you and Mrs Hayden and go over all the details. If I believe that you are sure about this, I will give it some deep thought and get back to you". I say trying to get it all out in one breath before I back out on the idea all together.
"Well Leigh that sounds fair to me. I will leave you my number and you can call me nearer the time with a date and time for our sit down." I could tell he was smiling while he was saying this. I hate that in a small way I have given him hope.
I took down his number and said my goodbyes and went back to the bathroom to get what was now a much needed hot bubble bath. After resting what seemed like forever but was only in fact forty-five minutes. I slipped out the bath and dried myself getting in to my Yale jogging bottoms and Logan's old Yale Hoodie that I packed not thinking we would end up going our own ways. I had just settled on the sofa when my phone rang again. Looking at the time and seeing that is was only half two, I knew it could still be the doctor. I looked at the number that flashed on my screen and saw it was one that I did not recognize. I picked up anyway.
"Hello Rory Gilmore speaking" I said formally in to the phone shocking the other person on the phone as well as myself.
"Hello Miss Gilmore this is Bethany from Dr Scott's office. She is hoping that you could possible pop in now" I heard the small voice on the other end say. I look down at myself and remember what I a wearing but then think I am only going to the doctors it's not like it's a date.
"I will be there in 15 minutes" I pick up my keys from the table and say goodbye to the young women on the phone. Bethany was her name I think. I walk out of my motel room and toward the doctors. Ten minutes later I am sat in the waiting room waiting to see the doctor when it dawns on me what is it that the doctor wants to talk to me about that she couldn't tell me over the phone. Now I am scared of what this appointment is to bring and I wish my mom was here to hold my hand. That was one thing that I realized on this trip. You are never too old to need your mummy.
"Miss Gilmore, The doctor will see you now" I heard Bethany say from where she say behind her desk.
"Thanks you! Do I go straight through "I ask unsure of what to do?
"Oh sorry yes. Do you remember where it is from last time?" She asks as she stands from her seat and points the way.
"Yes I do thank you". I turn and make my way towards the room but with every step I take, I feel the walls close in around me. I make it to the room and knock on the door. I hear Dr Scott call me in and I walk so steadily and slowly make my way in as If I were Sam Winchester about to pounce on some unknown evil. I take small steps forward until I can see the doctor and that she is smiling.
"Hey Miss Gilmore, How are you today?" Doctor Scott stands and greets me shaking my hand and allowing me to sit in the chair the other side of her desk. "I am so glad you could make it today. I know what must have been going through your mind but trust me nothing is wrong. I just wanted to see you before you left town." I nod my head as to tell her that I understand so she carries on with what she is saying. "The first thing I would like to do is offer you my congratulations as you are indeed pregnant. The next thing I would like to do is the main reason I asked you in today and that is a sonogram. Do you want?" She asked looking at me and seeing what I can guess is only a look of shock and horror.
I nod my head yes as I am unable to form words as I am still trying to get over the shock that was just put upon me. I was pregnant. No wait not only was I pregnant but the baby was Logan's. What was I going to do? I stood up and followed the Doctor threw the door that she had just excited. I see the bed and small monitor whom I was guessing was where I would see my baby. The doctor then asked me to undress and put on the gown that she passes to me. I nod my head again as I am still unable to form words. I watch as the doctor exist the room and slowly start to undress. Once I had undress and put on the gown I slowly laid back on the bed. The nurse enters the room and prepares the monitor and tells me that the doctor will be with me shortly.
"So are you all ready" The doctor said as she entered the room placing on her latex gloves ready to do the sonogram.
"As I'll ever be" I say speaking for the first time since being told I was pregnant.
Three and a half months pregnant. That what the doctor told me. She also told me that I should only travel for another one and a half months meaning I need to give Hugo my notice tomorrow and start looking for a job oh and a place to live. I mean mum is married to Luke now and pregnant herself. They also have April living there who has my room but I guess I don't mind living on my own is good. Well I won't be on my own ill have bump with me in what less than six months wow I'm going to be a mum. What am I going to do? I walk towards my car and get in start it up and drive to my motel all in a daze simply because of all the thoughts and ideas and the list of what I have to do running through my head.
As I enter the motel room I pull out my mobile phone and dial the one number that had helped me over the last two months. That's when it hits me I was pregnant when I graduated Yale. I was Pregnant when I told bumps father also known as Logan that I wouldn't marry him. I was pregnant when he told me all or nothing and then walked away when I couldn't give him all.
I let the phone ring, knowing that after six rings she would pick up.
"Hello this Paris Geller, to whom am I speaking at this ungodly hour" she says. She must not have looked at caller Idea.
"I'm Pregnant" I say knowing she will recognize my voice the moment she hears it.
"Rory?" she asked
"Yes Rory, Paris who else would call you up at this hour knowing it like three in the morning where you are" I say getting somewhat annoyed.
"Oh so who's the dad?" she asked as if she didn't know.
"Paris this is no time for games. I am pregnant with LOGAN'S child and I have not a clue what to do about it? Help me please?" I say standing up of the bed and pacing the room with my phone in one hand and the sonogram photo of my baby in the other.
"Ok first you need to breath and calm down and then you need to phone you mum and talk to her because you know as well as I do if anyone can help you and suggest what you do it's her" Paris explains like it was the easiest thing and that I should of thought about it which if you ask me I should have.
"Thanks Paris you're the best. I will let you go back to sleep and ring you later and let you know what I decided" I say then hang up before she can say anything else which knowing her would be 'yep right again as always'. I take a deep breath the hit speed dial one and wait for the phone to be picked up.
"Oh dear god I must be dead my dear daughter had finally decided to contact her poor pregnant mother" mum answers the phone somewhat over the top but then again that is who she is.
"Yes mum I am sorry that I have not been in contact for what now three days. It must have seemed like forever for you." I say playing along.
"Ok kid not all joking aside how is my darling journalist of a daughter" She says sounding somewhat cheery.
"In the need of some oh great wise advice from you if that is possible" I say thinking about how to approach the subject with my mother.
"Of course dear what is it that you need help on?" She says as if here interested has not somewhat peeked even more.
"I have this friend who not so long ago broke up with her bf and well she just found out she was pregnant and she doesn't know whether she should tell him or not" I say not ready to tell her that it was me. I mean it's not like she was Logan's biggest fan.
"Ok so first things first how did things end between your friend and her boyfriend?" she ask. I think to myself at that moment I am screwed. If I tell her the truth she is going to know it's me but if I lie I will feel bad and when I finally do tell her that I am pregnant she will know that I lied so basically either way I'm dammed.
I decided to bite the bullet and tell her that it's me and let her just get straight to the how can I be so careless speech.
"Ok mum I lied it's me, I'm the pregnant one" I say scared of her reaction. I mean it was never a secret that she was not exactly Logan's biggest fan. Silence filled the other end of the line which was never a good sign because if you knew my mother then you knew she always had something to say. "Mum please says something" I beg.
"Is it Logan's?" was the first thing she asked and of course I knew she knew the answer because she knew I was not the type to have casual sex and unprotected casual sex at that.
"Yes mum the father is Logan" I state somewhat cross that she even had to ask me that question.
"Ok here is what we are going to do. You are going to stay in the campaign as long as your pregnancy allows you then you are going to come home and you and the baby are going to live in the house that you grew up in as me and Luke have decided to buy the Twickem's house and are moving in next week, this also give me a reason not to sell the house and it means my daughter and grandchild are going to be just up the road from me" my mum tells me without taking a breath. She somewhat reminded me of Rachel from Glee when she is rambling on about how she has all the talent and deserves the solos more than the others.
"Mum please take a deep breath and that sounds amazing" I say hoping that her rant was a way of accepting the fact that I was pregnant, but first things first I needed her help with the whole do I or do I not tell Logan situation. "But mum I still need your advice on whether or not I tell Logan" I say as of it where just another topic that we were going to discuss like we do every time we talk these days.
"I think that you should listen to your heart and follow what it tells you, but I do say this that if you decided to tell him you should tell him to his face because telling him over e-mail or phone is just going to make him think that you don't want him to be a part of this child's life" I nod but the just give a simple reply like hmmm and tell her I have to go and that I will ring her later to discuss me moving home in a month.
Now
I look up at the house and see the lights on. I slowly exit the car and walk to the door knocking. I pray inside that she take the news I am about to give to her as well as she did when I told her I was pregnant.
She opens the door with a big smile on her face and baby Jamie in her arms. My little brother was born two months ago and weighed at 8 pound 6 ounces any way I looking at the ground and when I look at her she can tell that I had been crying.
"Mum we need to talk"
Thank you so much for reading. I know Glee was not out at the time off Gilmore Girls but after all It is a fan fiction.
