Yes, I know, its finally here. So I have had a really bad couple of weeks, I got sick (again. well, I never got better. I got another virus on top of what I alread had) and a bunch of other crappy things happened and I just really haven't been in the writing mood. But, I finally made myself do it, and here it is lol.
I wrote this really fast, and my mom is bugging me to do my homework, so I don't have time to go over it, sorry! Oh and I also wrote half the chapter in 3rd person before remembering that it was in Logan's POV and I had to rewrite the whole thing....sorry again if there was anything that I missed and forgot to change!
Disclaimer: Gilmore girls, sadly, is not mine.
"You know, Ace, you are one amazing person."
(Logan's POV)
"Why thank you." She said, reaching her arms up and wrapping them around my neck. Just when she was about to kiss me again, my phone went off.
"You'd better get that." She told me as I twirled her and continued to hold in her in my arms as I answered my phone.
"Hello." I said, slightly annoyed. It was my father.
"Hello, son." He told me. "Your mother and I have a proposition for you."
"And what is that?" I asked him, looking down at Rory, who was clearly listening in.
"We would like to have you over for dinner tomorrow night. You and Rory." I wasn't sure what to say, I didn't really want to have dinner with them, but if we didn't they wouldn't stop bugging us until we finally gave in. Covering up the phone with my hand, I looked down at Rory, and asked her what she thought.
"No, Logan, no. And especially not tomorrow night. I promised Sophie I'd spend all night with her. And besides, even if I didn't, I don't have a sitter." I nodded and lifted the phone back up to my ear.
"I'm sorry, tomorrow night won't work." I told him, possibly sounding a little to happy.
"And why is that?" He asked me.
"Rory was going to spend the night with Sophie tomorrow, and she doesn't have anyone to babysit her."
"How did you know so fast? Are you with her now?" He asked me suspiciously.
"Yes, dad, I am."
"Well then tell her she can bring Sophie with her, we'll make it a family event."
"Hold on a second, dad, let me talk to Rory."
"He says that we can bring Sophie with us." I told her as I covered up the phone again.
"Logan..."
"I know, I know, I don't want to go either but..."
"We should go anyway." Rory finished for me. "Fine, we'll go, but if they do a single thing to upset Sophie, we are leaving."
"We will, I promise." I told her. "We'll leave even if they do the slightest thing to upset you."
I spun her back around so she was facing me again, and gave her a kiss on the forehead before picking the phone back up.
"Tomorrow will be fine."
"Good. We'll see you tomorrow at six."
"See ya then, dad." I said as I hung up the phone. "I can't believe we are having dinner with my parents tomorrow."
...
"We have to go in sometime, Ace."
"I know." Rory said, still not moving. We were standing outside of my parents house, and neither of us wanted to knock on the door.
"Why aren't we going inside?" Sophie asked innocently. "I'm cold."
"Mommy's just nervous." Rory told her as she lifted her up.
"Why are you nervous?" Sophie asked as she snuggled up against Rory for warmth.
"Well, mommy hasn't seen your grandparents in a long time, and it's just a little weird."
"Oh." The young girl replied.
"But your mommy has nothing to be worried about." I assured her, even though I was also completely dreading this evening.
"Can we go inside now?" Sophie asked again. "I wanna meet gramma and grandpa!"
"Yes, sweetie, we will go inside now." Rory told her as I finally rang the doorbell.
"Who is that?" Sophie asked when the maid answered the door and took our coats.
"That's the maid." I told her.
"Who?"
"She...she's the person that cleans the house for them because they are too lazy to do it themselves."
"Oh." Sophie said again.
"I'm so glad you could make it." Shira said, entering the room.
"Hey mom." I said, trying my best to sound like I wanted to be there.
"Hello, nice to see you again." Rory said, trying to sound polite. "And this is Sophie." Rory said motioning to the girl in her arms. Sophie hesitantly looked up, but kept her arms firmly wrapped around her moms neck.
"Hello Sophie, I'm your grandma Shira." She told the little girl. Just then Mitchum walked into the room, joining them. "And this is your grandpa Mitchum."
"Hello." Sophie said quietly.
"She's a cute girl." Mitchum said in about the least unenthusiastic voice possible. Sophie burried her head in her moms shoulders and started to cry a little.
"Aw sweetie what's wrong?" Rory asked. "Do you mind if I take her into the other room and talk to her for a minute? She's shy around new people sometimes."
"Of course." Shira answered as Rory made her way into a nearby room, leaving me and my parents together in an awkward silence.
(Rory's POV)
"Baby, what's wrong?" I asked again.
"I don't like gramma and grandpa. They aren't nice like Gramma Lorelai and Grandpa Luke. They are mean like Gramma Emily and Grandpa Richard."
"And what makes you think that?" I asked, even though I knew it was true. "You haven't even talked to them yet."
"They have mean eyes."
"Mean eyes, huh? Well you know what I think?"
"What?"
"I think that if you get to know them, they won't seem so mean."
"Really?" Sophie asked.
"Yes. So can you be brave for mommy and go have dinner with grandma and grandpa?" I asked her.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Ok, good. Now there's no need to cry, is there?" She nodded again. "So, let me see that pretty smile of yours!"
"Ok, mommy." Sophie said, smiling a little.
"That's my girl. Now let's go back in there with daddy and grandma and grandpa." I said as I set her down on the ground and started to walk out the door. Instinctively, she grabbed my hand, held it tight, and hesitantly followed me back out.
(Logan's POV)
"Are you ok now, Sophie?" I asked her. She nodded her head yes and leaned up against Rory. There was another awkward silence as we waited for instructions on what to do next. My mom was clearly inspecting Rory and Sophie, and Rory was trying to look like she wanted to be there and that everything was ok. It was my father who finally broke the silence and said something.
"Well, now that everyone seems to be ok, why don't we go eat dinner?" He suggested as we all followed him into the dinning room for a dinner we would never forget.
I was originally going to have this chapter be the whole dinner, but then I started writing about Sophie and changed my mind lol. So the next chapter will for sure be the dinner, and trust me, it will have lots of drama!
I would LOVE it if you all reviewed and told me what you think!
