Logan's POV

Rory and Logan sat uncomfortably in the huge living room of the Huntzberger house. Rory had a death grip on his hand, and he didn't blame her for being scarred. Hell, he was just as terrified, but Logan knew that he could handle whatever his family had to say, he had grown up with it, but Rory was different.

"So, Logan, your father tells me that you left London rather abruptly." Shira said, starting the conversation.

"Yeah, well I had to, dad is just trying to push me in a direction that I don't want to go."

"Logan we have been over this several times before, you broke the deal. I am sure if you tell your father that you'll spend an extra year there, he'll let you come back with no hassle."

"I am not going back, end of discussion."

"Your father also said you left because of something to do with Rory."

"Well yeah, she is pregnant."

"Excuse me?" Shira said stunned by the unexpected news.

"Pregnant." Logan repeated

"Of all the times you have let us down, Logan, this has got be the worst. You are poisoning our blood line with this." She gave Rory a look of extreme disparagement.

"Rory is better than all of you. Hell she is better than me, and she doesn't deserve this."

"I think your father should hear about this." Said Shira, leaving the room hastily. It wasn't until she returned a few minutes later, with a flustered look on her face, that the silence in the room was broken.

"Your father is still at work, but I told him to come home immediately, and so he will be here soon. So I think we should wait for him to come home to finish this conversation."

The silence in the room was at last ended when Mitchum entered the house a half an hour later. Logan had been silent more for Rory's sake than his own, afraid that his mother would attack her if she uttered a word.

"Shira?" Mitchum called into the vastness of the house.

"In here" Shira said, and a few moments later Mitchum entered the living room and took a seat next to his wife.

"So what exactly is going on here?" Mitchum inquired

"Well, your son and this" she gestured towards Rory, "are pregnant. Can you believe that?"

"That is why you left so suddenly? I knew that all of your fooling around may one day get you in trouble, but I guess I always hoped to avoid it. This can be dealt with, will just send her away for a while and then when she comes back the problem will be solved. In the meantime, Logan will return to London and resume his one-year at the paper as promised."

"No." Rory said defiantly, the first words to come out of her mouth all evening.

"Now Rory," Shira said, "You don't want to have to deal with a child, your young and have goals. How do you expect to achieve them with a baby? This is the best solution for everyone involved."

"No," Rory said, " That is the best solution for you. Just send me away and problem solved. You'll keep it quiet of course, because a leek could ruin your reputation. But Logan and I don't need you, and we will go about our lives as we damn well please."

"Don't need us?" Mitchum said, turning to Logan, "How do you expect to live your expensive lifestyle without money? Your trust funds don't mature until next year, and you can forget about getting money from me."

"I don't need it. Believe it or not people can be happy without money. By the way Rory and I are engaged, I just thought you should know. Come on Ace," Logan said grabbing Rory's hand and standing up, "let's get out of here."

"Looks like you finally got what you wanted, we aren't your family anymore" Mitchum said bitterly. Logan stopped at the words and turned around, and looked at his parents. "Looks like it." Logan said, turning around and heading for the door, not looking back. He was free to start his life, the way that he wanted.

Lorelai's POV

"So, Chris, what do you want to discuss?" Lorelai asked into the phone. She had been avoiding him for months, and it had been working, that is until now. She just didn't want to talk to him, but this needed to be ended once and for all.

"Well about that night. I am getting mixed signals here Lore. We have a great night, and then you avoid me."

"I thought maybe you'd get the idea. I don't want to talk to you, see you, or otherwise associate with you in any way."

"Come on, we are meant to be together. The timing just was never right, and now with Luke gone, we can work this out."

"Luke and I are just fine." Lorelai said, the edges of anger leaking into her voice

"I bet he doesn't even know."

"Of course he knows, and as soon as he forgives me, everything will be back on track," Lorelai said, "Everything is difficult enough without you reminding me of that night."

"I just want us to work out."

"There is no us, you threw that away a long time ago. I have been stupid to think that you could be a part of our lives and not cause a mess, but I was wrong."

"Lorelai wait." Christopher said desperately

"Good bye Christopher"

"Lorelai-" But she had already hung up the phone and thrown it down on the couch. Christopher was gone, and maybe they would get lucky and he would stay away forever. That thought made Lorelai think of Rory, and her decision from earlier to call her. Staring at the phone, she felt uncertain if it was the right thing to do…but maybe it was time.
