Everything will be ok.
The next few weeks passed quickly it was now the 18th and he would be heading home on the 21st for Thanksgiving. He would have a few days home before leaving again on the night of the 25th. He looked at the clock and realized he was late, he was supposed to meet some friends at the bar down the street 10 minutes ago. He quickly put the remaining files that were on his desk and proceeded to call Rory, he did not want her waiting up on a phone call from him and then have him get home late and call her drunk.
He dialed the number as he exited the office building and waited to here her voice on the other end.
"Stop freaking out! I'm sure everything will be fine!"
"Ace?" he questioned
"Logan?" he questioned as well
"Yeah, what was that about?" he asked, confused about why she was yelling
"I thought it was Paris again, she thinks she's pregnant but she couldn't get an appointment until tomorrow and she's hasn't stopped calling me" she complained, he was sure she was pouting
"Isn't she pre med, shouldn't she know?"
"I guess she should, but it's understandable, it's a scary situation. She's too scared to tell Doyle"
"I can understand that. Would you be scared to tell me?" he asked, they had never talked about this before and he was curios on how she would feel if she were ever in Paris' situation.
"I don't know," she said softly.
He could tell it was something that she had not put a whole lot of thought into, and this was not a conversation they should have over the phone. He approached the bar and took a seat on the bench outside "I want you to know that if you ever have those fears you don't have to be scared to talk to me about it" he paused for a moment before continuing "So besides that, how was your day?"
"My morning classes were canceled so I got to sleep in which is always good, but besides that it was your average day" she said with a little laugh
"That's good then"
"How was yours?" she asked
"Oh you know, work, work and more work. Anyway i'm outside the bar now, i'm meeting some friends, so I will call you tomorrow"
"Ok, have fun. Don't get to drunk", she teased
"I make no promises, Night Ace, I love you"
"I love you too Logan" when he heard the phone click he shoved it back into his pocket and made his way into the bar in search of his friends.
After a few moments, he spotted Ryan and his girlfriend Samantha, Eric, David and another girl who he did not recognize. He made his way over to the table and sat down.
"Huntzberger, you're late" David said
"I know, Ryan I thought we agreed no girls" Logan said turning his attention to Samantha
"She promised id get laid" Ryan said with a grin
"Logan, this is Laila McNeely, one of my best friends from California. Laila, this is Logan Huntzberger, he's a friend of Ryan" Samantha introduced the two.
"Nice to meet you" Logan said
Laila smiled "You too"
Logan turned his attention back to Samantha "So is that all I am a friend to Ryan are we not friends?" he said in mock hurt
"No I don't believe we are" she quipped
"Are you too done? There is much alcohol to consume" David said entering the conversation
"Right I say we get down to it," Logan said
"I'll get the first round," Eric said getting up
"Beer, Apple Martini, Scotch on the rocks, Beer, Sex on the beach" Ryan, Samantha, Logan, David and Laila called out respectively.
Once Eric disappeared through the crowd, Logan turned to Laila "Are you single?"
"Yes" Laila responded with a smile
Logan smiled and looked at Ryan as he spoke "Come on man, you have a girlfriend I didn't think you would cheat on her"
Logan rolled his eyes "Not for me, Finn would love her"
"No" Samantha said quickly jumping in "If the stories I've heard about Finn are true, I don't want him near one of my best friends"
"Your right Logan, You should take her back home when you leave. Finn really would love her, the red hair, tight little body," David said with a laugh while giving Laila a once over, while moving his chair closer to her.
"Don't even think about it" Laila laughed putting her hand out to stop him from coming any closer
Logan studied the girl for a moment, she reminded him of Rosemary in her appearance with her red hair and petite frame. She also reminded him of Rory, with her somewhat shy personality. He tore his eyes off the girl sitting across from him as Eric returned to the table with the first of their several rounds of drinks.
Logan woke up the next morning to the ringing of his phone and groaned the ringing was doing nothing for his hangover. Without looking at the id, he picked up the phone.
"Hello" he said slowly as not to further the pain that was going through his head.
"Logan" he heard his father's voice on the other end and laughed a little to himself this was the first time his father had called him at a decent hour since he had been in London.
"Yeah"
"There has been a change of plans"
"Change of plans? In what?" Oh, god if he tells me I cannot come home the next time I see him, I will kill him.
"Your flight"
That did not sound good "Why?"
"Do you remember several months ago, when I told you I had to make things up to Robert Lacoste for the way you treated his daughter?"
"I remember"
"Good, Robert Lacoste, his wife Kimberly and their daughter Brittany will be joining us for Thanksgiving"
He wanted to scream, or throw something but that would do nothing for his headache. "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"No Logan, this is a serious matter. This was the only time I could make it up to their entire family. You should consider yourself lucky"
"How exactly is this considered lucky?" he questioned
"It's lucky because there was actually a time that was convenient for us to make this up to them. If there was no time, you would be enjoying more then one year in London"
"Right"
"You will be taking the Lactose's private plane home on Tuesday instead of your scheduled flight. You need to be at the airstrip by 9:30 on Tuesday morning and if there are any other details Brittany will fill you in tomorrow at work"
"Is that all?"
"Yes. I will see you no later then Wednesday Logan, Oh yeah and I suggest you get over that hangover I sent you to London to see if you could possibly mature and grow up. I'm not sure if it's working, so I suggest you try harder"
"I will get right on that. Bye dad" he quickly hung up the phone and cursed how he was supposed to tell Rory this, the woman who threw herself at him on an almost daily basis was coming home to spend Thanksgiving with him and his family.
Thanks to everyone whos reviewed i love you all, and a special thanks to my beta Koalababy! I just thought id make it clear that Logan will be with Rory when he gets home, just not on Thanksgiving day.
