Unexpected visitors
"Christopher?" Lorelai asked with a sigh as she stood at the reception desk at the Dragonfly Inn. "He is hardly around as it is."
"Yes, but Lolo wants him there." Rory said as she helped her mother sort through paperwork. "I have seven tickets and you and Luke automatically get two of them, Logan has one, Jess has another, and that leaves me with three tickets."
"Fine" Lorelai sighed putting some of the papers down. "What about the last two?"
"That will be for Mitchum and Shira if Lolo decides on that if not probably Babette and Miss. Patty."
"I hate those people, well Mitchum and Shira not Babette and Miss. Patty"
"I think the feeling is mutual" Rory agreed with her setting her own papers down. "It's not here mom. Can I go now? I have to meet Logan at the house he says he has something to show me."
"A suitcase?"
"Funny mom. He is not moving in just yet, it is too early."
"For Lolo or for you?"
"For both of us" she sighed and looked at her mom. "Can I go now?"
"Fine. Go my only child, the only child I will ever have, abandon me here."
"You will survive."
"Did Madonna survive when Rocco left?"
"Pretty sure she is still alive and pretty sure her son is still gone."
"Still she was defeated, broken hearted, and left without her child"
"Bye mom"
Rory gave her mom a fleeting kiss before leaving the Inn. Her car was just outside the Inn so she got into it and drove off. Over the past few months her mom had become a constant fixture more so then normal since Logan's appearance in their lives. Rory knew her mom was just trying to be a good parent, but she needed to give them their space in order for them to bond as a family. Shaking her head she turned into the driveway of her house and saw a car she didn't recognize next to Logan's Mercedes. Parking it she got out and hurried inside her house.
"Logan!" She calls out when she walked inside.
"Living room!" He shouted back and she followed his voice into the living room.
"Whose this?" Rory asked as he saw a man dressed in a suit sitting beside Logan.
"This is my lawyer. He is here to help us with the paperwork for Lolo's birth certificate"
"Oh that" Rory said as she took off her scarf and placed it on an end table. "Nice to meet you Mr?"
"Garcia, but please call me Tony."
"Tony" Rory said letting it slip of her tongue, her tone a bit annoyed. "Can I speak to you in my kitchen please Logan. Alone."
"Sure" he said following her into the kitchen. "What's up?"
"Why is that man in my house Logan? You never told me that our meeting with him was today"
"I told you three times, four if you count the email and when you never showed up at his office today we came here and that's when I texted you to come here because I had something to show you. So technically I reminded you five times."
"Mother" Rory said through gritted teeth. She knew her mother had known she had this meeting and yet still asked for Rory's help and in a state of rush this morning it caused Rory to forget completely. "I am so sorry Logan, my mother asked for help at the Dragonfly and because I was getting Lolo dressed and fed to go to Jess's for the weekend this morning I accidentally said yes."
"I figured something happened like that" he smiled and kissed her cheek. "I know you want me to be on Lolo's birth certificate as much as I do."
"I don't know how I got so lucky with you." Rory said with a smile. "So do we just sign some papers and file the paperwork?"
"Yes and then we wait"
Rory smiled and kissed Logan on the cheek before they went to go meet with the lawyer. It only took them a few moments to fill out the paperwork with him, but it was done in a matter of an hour because Rory wanted to read the whole document to see what she was signing. After the lawyer left Logan and Rory sat on her couch for awhile just talking about everything. They never really got a moment alone due to either work or Lolo or some Stars Hollow crazy thing going on so it was nice for them to just sit there and just talk to each other.
"No way Finn didn't?" Rory asked in shock as her and Logan shared a bottle of wine on her couch.
"He did he really did. We were in Bora Bora and we dared Finn to walk around in the nude for the entire trip and he did. You should have seen some of the looks he got from the other guests."
"You guys are crazy."
"They really are my best friends" Logan conceded and Rory smiled. "I have been the best man at all their weddings."
"Still can't believe those three are married."
"No kids yet for them."
"Maybe one day. Colin did marry a twenty-five year old."
"I can't believe he did that. Then again it was to please his parents that's why they are all never home. They can't stand their wives."
"And yet here we are with Logan Huntzberger the one who should have followed suit with them, but never did."
"Because I was waiting for you Ace"
"I got too lucky with you" Rory said as she adjusted her legs on the couch so they were laying in Logan's lap.
"No, I got lucky with you" he smiled his breath taking smile at Rory. "You have given me the best years of my life and now you've given me a daughter. How could I get any more lucky then I am right now?"
"I don't know" Rory said as someone knocked on her front door. "Who could that be?" Rory asked getting up and walking to the front door. "Paris? What are you doing in Stars Hollow?"
"Doyle and I broke up"
"Again? I thought it was gonna stick this time" Rory said as Paris walked into the living room with Rory.
"What is he doing here?" Paris asked pointing at Logan.
"We are dating again" Rory said nervously looking at Paris who glared at Logan.
"I really don't want to be around men right now."
"On that note I think I am gonna head back to my place for the night" Logan said getting up and heading towards the front door. "See you tomorrow Ace" Logan said giving her a swift kiss before leaving.
"What happened?" Rory asked as they sat down on the couch.
"He is having an affair with the nanny"
"Seriously? Doyle is?" Rory asked shocked, she just could not believe what Paris was telling her. That was so unlike Doyle. "How do you know?"
"He looks at her like he used to look at me when I was young."
"With hate and discontent?" Paris glared at Rory and she had to stifle a laugh. "Right that was you to me" Rory teased. "Do you have proof?" Paris just shook her head. "Have you talked to him?" Paris shook her head again. "Maybe you should. Where are the kids?"
"They are with the nanny in Florida for a week at Disneyworld."
"Go talk to Doyle"
"But-"
"No butts missy go talk to your husband. He loves you, I know he loves you"
"Fine. Can I at least sleep in your guest room for the night and go tomorrow? It was a long flight from California for this."
"You flew from California to talk to me? You ever think to text me or call or email?"
"I wanted to see you in person. Ever since Logan came back it is like college all over again, you disappeared."
"Sorry, I just have been so caught up with making sure Lolo and him get aquatinted with each other that I lost track and then he whisked me off to Paris-"
"Wait what?"
"Colin, Finn, Robert and Logan all showed up at my house while Lolo was with Luke and my mom and literally had my bags packed and my passport ready for Paris."
"I wish Doyle would whisk me off to a foreign country for an adventure" Paris sighed and leaned into the couch where they sat. "What happened there?"
"To make it short he spoke to Odette about the letter"
"How'd that go?"
"To my knowledge well I think. He said she was going to tell her family not to do anything so I am hoping nothing goes wrong and that this wasn't a big mistake."
"It isn't a big mistake. You and Logan and Lolo are destined to be together. It has always been in the cards for you guys, everyone has known it. Nothing is going to break you three apart."
"Coming from the girl that is in the midst of her third break up this year with her husband."
"Not all of us can have a love like you and Logan. You guys are more in love then Michelle and Barack."
"You think?"
"We all just want to know when the wedding is" Paris joked and Rory just rolled her eyes.
"Anyone hear of slow? We just got back together after breaking up at the end of college if you exclude the time I was his mistress."
"Still, you will get married. It is not a matter of if you will get married it is a matter of when."
"I am so glad everyone else seems to know my love life better then I do."
"We all do"
