There will be around 34 chapters. Rory's plans will be revealed in a few chapters to come. Please enjoy and thank you so very much for the reviews, alerts, and everyone reading this story.

(Rory's point of view)

I work up early. I decided to go for a walk. I had started speeding walking through Central Park shortly after I moved there. I loved to walk and clear my head. I enjoyed the natural beauty around me. It was my alone time. I put my phone on silent and just put my worries aside. After my walk I took a shower.

I went over to Dad's for Brunch. Dad's fiancée' is really nice and even Mom likes her. Gigi has gotten so big and she's super smart. She says she wants to be as smart as me. After Brunch Dad and I headed for a book store near his place. He had me pick out some books for Gigi. I told Dad almost everything about my time with Logan and Austin. Dad said I sounded in love again. The rest of the day was nice. Dad cooked out for dinner. After dinner I headed back home to Stars Hallow.

Monday was a lot of fun too. Zack was working so it was just Lane, her boys Kwan and Steve, and me. We took the boys to the park to play. They played kick ball. Lane told me she's pregnant again. She and Zack are really excited and hoping for a girl this time. I told Lane about Logan and I having unprotected sex. She was shocked since I'm normally so responsible. I told her I felt scared, exited, and unsure all at the same time.

Tuesday morning I went to the Dragon Fly with Mom. I helped like I had at the Independence Inn when I was young. It was kind of fun. It was about three in the afternoon when Logan text me. He said dinner should be ready by seven. His texts have been really strange the last few days.

I left the Dragon Fly around five and headed home. I decided to wear my yellow and green dress. When I arrived at the mansion I realized I was a little early. I wasn't sure of I should stay in my car or not. I finally decided to ring the door bell. I was expecting the maid to answer but she didn't.

Honor answered the door and said. "Rory hi um I hope tonight goes okay." I looked at her and asked. "What's going on?" "Well Logan gave the while staff the day off. So we've all been pitching in. We had to make dinner, clean up, take care of the kids, answer our own calls, and our own door." Honor said sounding exhausted.

Logan and Shira were no where to be seen. Josh had all three kids on the floor. There were toys everywhere. "Hi Josh." I said. "Hello Rory would you like a drink?" Josh asked. "Sure I'll take a glass of wine." I answered. "Me too Honey." Honor said picking up P.J. I saw Austin and picked him up also.

I laughed. "What's wrong?" Honor asked. "He needs changing." I said pointing to Austin. I took Austin upstairs and quickly changed him. I brought Austin back down stairs after changing him. Honor and both kids weren't downstairs. Josh handed me my wine and explained that P.J. needed to be changed and Cathy need to go potty.

Logan joined us. "Hi Ace." He said kissing my cheek. "Why are you being so mean to your family?" I asked. "What are you talking about?" He questioned back. "Logan is your Mom in there trying to cook?" I asked. "Yeah I've been teaching her." Logan answered. "Logan you gave the whole staff the day off. You could've at least left maid or a nanny. They're going to kill you." I said. Logan laughed and then turned his attention to Austin. "Hi Buddy, you're happy Rory's here huh." Logan said to him.

I blushed and said. "I told Lane about everything with us." "You did really?" He asked sounding shocked. "Have you told anyone?" I asked. "No I figured I would wait and see." He answered. "You could Colin, Finn, or Honor if you want." I said thinking he might need to talk. "Not yet Ace." He said. I nodded.

Josh, Honor, and the kids rejoined us. We all started talking. Shira called us and said dinner was ready. We all headed into the Dinning Room. Shira brought out a roast, potatoes, and carrots. "Wow that smells great. Shira this is incredible." I said. "Hello Rory thank you for joining us tonight. I hope it taste as good as it smells." She said. "I'm happy to be here and I'm sure it will." I responded.

Dinner was amazing Shira was telling me all about their day without any staff. Shira said this was the first time she had been without any staff since before Mitchum married her. "It's actually be kind of fun." Shira admitted. "Grandpa and Grandma said the same thing. One night back when I was in high school we got snowed in with no staff. I made them a frozen pizza that one of their maids left they actually thought it was good." I said.

We all had a really good time. Dessert was cheese cake. It was really yummy too. I knew I probably wouldn't see any of them but Logan and Austin before I left to go back to New York. Logan and I made plans to make sure we saw each other before I left on Friday night.

"Good night Ace drive safe and text me when you get home." Logan said. "Thank you for inviting me over for dinner." I said kissing him quickly. On the drive home I started thinking how much I was going to miss everyone. I always miss my Mom and Luke. My Dad and I were getting closer again too. I always miss Lane and my Grandparents too. Honestly I didn't want to leave Logan and Austin I had fallen in love with Logan son as much as him. I found myself dreaming and hoping I was pregnant with Logan's baby so we could be a family.
