Thank you for reading and reviewing. The drama is just beginning. Let me know what you think. I love to hear your thoughts. :)

Rory and the kids were still asleep. Logan got out of bed and called his mother. He could handle her messing with his life to an extent, but if it has anything to do with Rory and his children it was not going to happen. The phone rang. Shira finally answered, "Hello son."

"Stop with the act. You are not going to play these games with me anymore."

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Stop lying. Be honest for once in your life. I don't understand you. I don't understand how you could want me to walk away from my children. That is never going to happen again. Odette isn't going to change that. No other woman is going to change that. I want nothing to do with you. If you aren't going to love your grandchildren, then I'm done. I've sat back for far too long and watched you mess with my life. That isn't going to happen any longer. I hope you have a nice life. I'm done."

"Oh, no you aren't."

"Yes, I am. You have no say over me anymore. I am almost 40 years old. It's about time that I had a say over my own life. I want Rory, Scotty and Gracie in that life."

"But I'm your mother."

"No, if you were truly my mother then you would want what is best for me. Instead, you want what you want for me. You don't want to see me happy. I haven't been happy since Rory. I'm not going to lose her again. I'm not. I'm not going to let you do this any longer. You are psychotic to think that having Odette show up here would change anything. I just can't do this. I'm not going to put my family through this."

"I am your family."

"No. You used to be my family. Rory, Scotty and Gracie are my family. They are the ones that have had to suffer. They aren't going to suffer because of my any longer. I just wanted to call and tell you good riddance."

"If you cut me off, then you are cutting off your father, too. You know that he isn't going to stand for this."

"Then let him cut me off. I. Don't. Care. I have what I need right here. I can always figure something out. I'm a lot more independent than you have ever given me credit for. I don't need the family business, even though I am the one running it. Good luck with that. Dad can't handle it anymore. Maybe Josh will take it over. I'm sure that would be great publicity for the Huntzberger name. Let dad know that I'll be in contact, with him. You, I have no more plans of conversations. Goodbye, mother." Logan hung up before she could say anything else.

Logan heard little footsteps. He turned around to see Gracie. He said, "Hey princess. How are you?"

Gracie came over and sat on his lap. She asked, "Daddy, are you mad?"

"Of course not, baby. Not at you. I'm just sad. I missed out on so much time with you, Scotty and your mommy. I'm not going to let that happen anymore. I'm going to be in your lives all the time now."

"Are you going to live with us?"

"Not right now, but maybe someday. That is something that mommy and daddy need to talk about. I have some boring big people things to figure out first, but we will still have our weekends. We'll figure it out."

"Daddy, I love you."

"I love you, too. I didn't mean to wake you."

"I wanted to see if you were still here."

"Oh, honey. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. Come sit with me while we wait for your mom and brother to wake up."

Logan spent some much needed quality time with his daughter.

Rory and Scotty made their way into the living room when they heard Logan and Gracie laughing. Rory asked, "What's so funny? Can we join the fun?"

Logan looked up at her and said, "Good morning! How are the two of you this morning?"

"Good. How are you, is the real question?"

"I'm better now. I had a long conversation with the wicked witch and I don't have to worry about her any more. I'm all in here. I am not going anywhere."

Rory said, "Okay, littles, go get dressed. Mommy needs to talk to your daddy for a minute. Then I'm sure daddy has a fun filled day planned for us." The two kids hugged each of their parents and took off to pick out their outfits for the day.

Rory said, "Okay, now tell me what is going on."

"I talked to my mom this morning. I told her I was cutting ties and wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. She told me that if I cut her off, dad will cut me off."

"Oh, Logan."

"I'm fine. I could care less if he did. Good luck to him. He won't cut me off. HPG is doing better than it ever has. He doesn't have anyone to take over for me. Rory, I do not want her interfering anymore. I just want the three of you. That is what I need. I know I'll still have Honor, no matter what my parents decide to do. Ace, I think I am going to look into getting a place in Hartford. I know it's still an hour out of Stars Hollow, but that is two hours closer than I am now. I can come into the city a couple times a week and work from home the rest of the time. I just want to be involved."

"You don't have to move."

"I want to. I have nothing truly holding me to the city. It is a pain to drive the three hours for both of us. That is even more time that I am missing out on. Ace, I want to be closer to the three of you. If we are going to try the two of us I want to be close to you."

"I can't argue with you there. It would be nice to be in a close proximity to you. I am selfish."

"Then so am I. I want to be able to see you whenever I want to. I would beg you to move in with you, but I am not going to push things. Slow is the way to go."

"It is a little soon to be thinking about moving in. The kids are confused enough as it is. We are supposed to go meet with the lawyer on Friday to find out about grandma's estate."

"Oh, Ace. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It's part of life. Logan, I don't want you to make any hasty decisions. I don't want you to regret anything down the road."

Logan pulled Rory into his arms. He kissed her. "I could never regret anything involving the three of you."

"You…kissed me."

Logan chuckled. "I did. I have wanted to kiss you since the moment I saw you. I couldn't wait any longer. Rory, it's time for us to move on. I want to be able to kiss you whenever I want. If you don't want labels, we don't have to have labels. I know I was all for holding back, but I just can't do it any longer. Now that I know it was all my mother and Odette that ruined our past, I can't let them ruin our future, too."

Rory smiled. "I want to kiss you whenever I want, too. Can we date? I know it will be unconventional, but when have we ever done anything the normal way?"

"Does that mean I can call you my girlfriend?"

"As long as I can call you my boyfriend."

"I think that is a fair trade. Come on, girlfriend. Let's make sure that our littles are ready to go. I have a fun day planned for all of us."

"Okay, boyfriend. Let's go." Logan kissed Rory again and they were ready to get on with their day.
