Thursday morning had rolled around quickly. Logan had spent since Monday morning at Rory's apartment and this morning they both planned on packing for their weekend trip to Stars Hollow. According to Lorelai she had originally planned on asking Emily and Richard to take care of Lexie this weekend but then decided against it as she hadn't wanted to subject her youngest daughter to a full weekend with the Gilmores just yet. Rory felt happy for the first time in five years and she was hoping it would stay that way. She hadn't spoken to Jess since Sunday evening and she hadn't told Lorelai about it either. She hadn't even mentioned that Logan would be accompanying her this weekend as she hadn't wanted to ruin her good mood with an argument with her mother. She and Logan had spent the last three days eating Chinese takeout, laughing until their heads hurt and making love. After all, they had five years of lost time to catch up on and it was clear neither of them intended to waste a moment. It was bliss and she was looking forward to a weekend with Logan and Lexie and catching up with Lane.
"Good Morning Ace", Logan said as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You want some coffee"?
She laughed. "When do I not want coffee Huntzberger? And hands off. We have no time for distraction. We have to pack". He ignored her and turned her around to plant a kiss on those lips he loved so much.
"Packing doesn't take that long Ace". His mouth held a cheeky grin but that didn't seem to put Rory off.
"I'll have cream and sugar please".
"Okay…I'm going", he laughed. "So…" he shouted from the kitchen. "I'm guessing you have a whole list of activities planned for this weekend?"
"What makes you think that"?
"I found your list".
"Oh…damn", she said to herself.
Logan smiled as he set two mugs on the counter. It was just like Rory to be so scarily well organized, but that was one of the things he loved about her. He also suspected that she hadn't told Lorelai he would be accompanying her this weekend so he was expecting a chilly welcome but at least she and Luke would be leaving tomorrow morning and he'd have the weekend with Rory and little Lexie who he already knew would be just as entertaining as her big sister. He felt like things were so different with him and Rory this time…so right. He didn't want to let her go ever again. He clutched the small box in his pocket which contained the ring he had picked out five years ago. He didn't plan on giving it to her yet but he had it on hand and he kept telling himself he'd know when the right time was but he had to be careful because he wanted the answer to be yes this time. He went back through to Rory's bedroom to hand over her coffee and when he did, he smiled to himself as he noticed she had a checklist of what to bring with her this weekend and was studying it with the cutest concentrated look on her face.
Three hours later, they were on the road to Stars Hollow. They were in Rory's car with Fall Out Boy blasting through the speakers. She knew all the words and didn't hesitate to sing along to the entire album, but Logan didn't mind one bit and realized he was more in love with her than he'd ever been. He decided to have a little fun. "You told your Mom I was coming with you didn't you"? She stopped singing and blushed slightly.
"Sure I did".
"Hmmmm" He pretended to look thoughtful. "What did she say"?
"Err…that…she…couldn't wait to see you again". Rory looked over at Logan who was smirking. "Okay, I didn't tell her", she said half laughing. "But it will be fine and she won't mind". He laughed.
"Okay Ace. If you say so".
"I do say so". They smiled at each other and then Rory turned up Fall Out Boy and resumed belting out their latest hit.
Lorelai had just finished packing her and Luke's suit cases when she heard him and Lexie come through the front door. It was three forty five and Rory would also been here soon. "I'm in here". A moment later, Lexie ran into her arms.
"When's Rory gonna get here Mom"?
"Soon Kiddo. What did you do at school today"?
"Hmmm…boring stuff".
"Sounds exciting. Where's Daddy"?
"He's in the kitchen making some coffee for you".
"See how much Daddy loves Mommy". Lexie giggles as Lorelai walked through to the kitchen with Lexie still in her arms. She set her down at the table and passed her a juice box from the refrigerator. "You want something to eat"?
"I don't think so. I ate too much at lunch time today". Lorelai smiled to herself and looked over at Luke who was also smiling. Lexie definitely took after Lorelai and Rory with her hearty appetite. Luke handed Lorelai her coffee and they both took a seat at the table with their daughter.
"So", said Luke. "Jess might come over tonight or tomorrow to see Rory and Lex. He's with Liz and TJ right now visiting with Doula but he said he'd stick around and we can all do something when he get's back".
Lorelai smiled at her husband's hopeful face. She wasn't sure how Rory would react to the news. Rory hadn't seen Jess in five years. Although, she knew Rory had a soft spot for him but she was also seeing Logan so who knew. Just then Lorelai heard a car pull up. That was probably Rory now. Lorelai jumped up and made her way over to the window. She saw Rory emerge from her car and smiled. Her smile dropped however when she spotted Logan emerging from the other side. Rory, Logan and Jess all in Stars Hollow. This weekend would certainly be eventful. Shame she wasn't going to be around to watch Rory attempt to handle it!
