Chapter Fourteen: The Blood Work Doesn't Lie
After turning down three apartments and two houses Rory and Logan were standing in the middle of the third house's living room smiling and chatting with the realtor. It was larger than they had planned on but absolutely gorgeous. There were five bedrooms and four baths, a kitchen that Sookie would die to have, two large porches and lush gardens. Rory had fallen in love with it immediately. Logan and the realtor were currently trying to make an agreement on the price when her phone rang. Logan stopped talking immediately surprising the realtor. "Ace you going to answer that?"
"It's the doctor." She said staring at the caller id
"You said you wanted to know sweetheart." Logan reminded her
"I know and I do. I'm just…"
"Nervous?"
Rory nodded.
"Do you want me to answer it?"
Rory shook her head no and answered the phone. "Hello… this is Rory Gilmore… my test results are in…really… thank you… you too… goodbye." She said and then hung up the phone
"Ace?" Logan said
Rory smiled. "Which room did we decide on for the nursery?"
"Upstairs, last door on the right." Logan said
Rory nodded and ran up the stairs. Logan looked over at the realtor and smiled. "Excuse us for a moment."
"Of course."
Logan ran up the stairs after Rory and followed her into the nursery. "Rory whatcha doing hun?"
Rory smiled. "I think we should paint the walls blue. Not a really light blue, because baby blue is so outdated, but not a really dark blue either because I want the room to be full of light…" Rory rambled on
"It's a boy?" Logan said interrupting her
"It's a boy." Rory said smiling
"A boy." Logan said taking it all in.
"Yes." Rory said softly
Logan smiled. "Well I agree about baby blue. It's been overdone. We could do like an ocean blue though what do you think?"
Rory smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her temple. "It sounds perfect."

An hour and a half later Rory was sitting in her dorm room packing what was left of her stuff. Paris walked in and sat on her bed. "Hey Gilmore. How are you feeling?"
Rory stopped packing and sat down next to her. "Perfect. I'm feeling perfect."
Paris nodded. "Do you need any help?"
"You want to help me pack?" Rory asked disbelief pouring through her voice
"You shouldn't be lifting things." Paris reminded her
"I haven't lifted anything heavy Paris. But you are welcome to help me pack my closet."
Paris nodded and grabbed an empty box and headed towards the closet. "So did you guys find a house?"
"Yeah. It's beautiful. And it isn't that far from here. Logan swears he got a good price, but if I know Logan he won't tell me how good of a price he got."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning he just paid a mini fortune for a house because I fell in love with it the second I saw it."
Paris nodded. "He just wants to make you happy."
Rory smiled. "I know."
The two of them packed submerged in comfortable silence for half an hour. Paris looked at Rory and cleared her throat to get her attention. "Rory?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you scared?"
Rory laughed a little. "Terrified."
Paris smiled. "Are you and Lorelai going to be ok?"
Rory sighed. "Not until she accepts that Logan is an amazing person who only wants to best for me and didn't ruin my life."
"I've never seen two people care about each other the way you and Lorelai do. It would be a shame to see that go up in flames. You have the relationship with your mother that most girls can only dream about."
"Which is why I can't believe that she's being the way she is. We've always been there for each other, and when I need her help the most she's washed her hands of me. Just because she doesn't agree with my decision to take a break from Yale…"
"How is that going to work by the way how are you going to finish school?" Paris interrupted
"I'm going to complete the fall semester but then take the spring semester off. The baby is due in February and then I'll take summer classes to make up for my spring semester. Then I'll finish out my senior year like planned and graduate."
"What about Logan?"
"Logan will go to school like usual. He'll finish and since this is his senior year he'll graduate. He'll stay with the baby while I do the summer thing and my senior year. And as much as I really don't want one we will get a nanny to help us until we're both out of school."
"You have it all panned out huh? Are you sure you'll be able to keep up with that plan though?"
"It'll be hard but we'll manage. We're both very determined people and we can make it work."
Paris nodded. "You know if you need me I'll be there for you, right?"
Rory smiled. "Paris…"
"I know we started out pretty bad Rory. I was awful to you the first year I knew you. I gave you all kinds of reasons to despise me but you never turned your back on me. You've always been there for me. You're my best friend. I just wanted to make sure you know that I will never turn my back on you. If you and Logan need me, I'm here."
Rory's eyes misted over. "Thank you Paris."
Paris went back into the closet hoping that Rory would change the subject from all the heartfelt comments they had shared a moment before. She was happy when Rory didn't let her down.
"I'm having a boy."
"A boy?" Paris asked
"Yes."
"Are you sure?" Paris asked
"Hey, the blood work doesn't lie." Rory said laughing
"Is Logan happy about that?"
"Seems happy enough. I was kind of hoping for a girl though."
"Another Lorelai?"
"Exactly."
"Well what are you going to name the boy?"
"I'm not sure. We haven't talked about that yet. I do know the nursery is going to be ocean blue."

Logan was packing his room up when Finn walked in. "Hey mate. How was the doctor's appointment?"
Logan stopped what he was doing and looked up at Finn. "Fine. We're having a boy."
"A boy. That's great. His Uncle Finn can teach him all sorts of things, like how to hit on girls and which beer is the best."
"Finn, stay away from my son." Logan said without thinking about it.
"So protective and the kid isn't even born yet." Finn laughed, "Did you buy a house today?"
"Yeah speaking of which will you go over to Rory's and carry her boxes to my SUV?"
"You moving tonight?" Finn asked
"No, we thought we'd move some of the boxes there in the morning but have you ever woke Rory up in the morning? Not smart. I thought we'd pack the car tonight."
Finn stood up and nodded. "Of course. I always love an excuse to go see Rory." Finn said provocatively
"Behave yourself Finn, that's my girlfriend you're talking about."
AN: Read and Review… for all of those who desperately wanted Logan to be the father, I tried it out. I had three other chapters written in the place of this one and I decided that I liked my original plan better… I promise you it will be worth Logan not getting to father this child…
