Logan stormed in the door. Rory was sitting in the living room with the twins on the floor playing with them. Logan breezed passed them and into the bedroom. Rory picked Leah and Levi up and placed them in the pack'n'play and then went into the bedroom after Logan. She lightly shut the door and walked over to where he was sitting on the bed.

"Logan what is going on?"

"When were you going to tell me?"

"Tell you what?" Rory was genuinely surprised.

"That you didn't want to be a stay at home mom?"

"I never said I wanted to be..."

"So you don't like being here with Leah and Levi?"

"I never said that...It's not that I don't love being here with them it's just that I had plans before them and I kind of feel like I am the only one who has put something on hold for them..."

"Seriously Rory? Do you remember that I didn't want to be working for my dad? Do you remember that I had to turn down a really great opportunity in California? You think I haven't given anything up but you're wrong. I gave up a lot more than you did to have them..." Logan regretted the word as he said them but he refused to take them back.

"Is that how you feel?" Rory's eyes were filled with hurt but Logan didn't notice.

"Yes..."

"Let me tell you something if it wasn't for them I don't think we would be here, and I just don't mean in this house or in this state I mean together. But hey if you've given up so much here is one more thing." Rory took off her ring and threw it at him. "You've now lost me."

Rory stormed out of their room fuming and then paused when she reached the living room. Her children were lying in the pack'n'play and a part of her want to just snuggle with them and make the hurt go away. She heard Logan coming after her and she bolted out the door and into her car. She flew out of the driveway and down the street. Logan stopped chasing her at the end of the driveway and went back inside. He softly closed the door and went into the bathroom.

There was a cut on his forehead where Rory had thrown her ring at him. He took some toilet paper and placed it on the cut to stop the bleeding. Before he could get the bleeding to stop however Levi started to cry in the other room. Logan took a deep breath and went to pick him up. Leah had drifted off to sleep but Levi was very upset.

"Hey buddy. It's okay." Logan cooed as he picked the infant up. "Mommy is going to come back daddy just said some stupid things to her that's all." He lightly bounced Levi and he started to clam down. "That's right buddy. It will be okay."

After Levi calmed down Logan set him back in the pack'n'play and grabbed his phone. He dialed Lorelai's number and waited for her to pick up.

Tears streaked Rory's face as she drove away from her kids. She had not told Logan about his dad's job offer but she was guessing his dad did. Was she wrong for wanting to go back to work? She knew that she loved her kids and it's not that she didn't want to be with them but she was just going stir crazy at home all the time. It wasn't fair that Logan woke up in the morning and left for the day. She on the other hand woke up in the morning to crying children. Then she had to change both of them and then feed them, granted she loved the time she spent with them but she wanted something new. Then after changing and feeding them she had to entertain them until they fell asleep again just to wait for it to start all over. Rory was thankful for the twins but Logan just didn't understand that she wanted something more. All his dad was offering her was what other papers couldn't. She drove into the familiar driveway and saw her mom standing on the porch. She put the car in park and wiped her tears off her face. She opened the door and walked to her mom.

"Oh honey." Lorelai pulled her into a hug."What is going on?"

"Logan and I had a fight..." Roy said into her chest.

"I know that much. What I meant is why weren't you the one to tell Logan?"

"He called you didn't he?"

"Yeah."

"Are you siding with him?"

"Of course not I'm neutral. What is that country called that doesn't take sides?"

"Switzerland?"

"Yeah I'm Switzerland in this situation."

"I would prefer you to be team Rory here. I mean you are my mom."

"I know honey but in this case I agree with both of you."

"What do you mean both of us? I haven't even told you my side of the story yet and now you agree with both of us?" Rory pulled away from her mother and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Okay then tell me your side." Lorelai said leading her daughter inside the house.

Once inside Lorelai and Rory went into the kitchen. Rory sat down at the table while Lorelai poured two cups of coffee from a previously made pot.

Lorelai turned and handed a cup to Rory.

"What happened?"

"So it all started about a month ago. Logan was gone for work so I was home alone with the twins. I had just finished dressing Levi when the door bell rang. When I answered the door Mitchum was standing there..."

"So he just showed up?"

"Yes, I did't invite him." Rory took a sip of her coffee and then placed the cup on the table.

"Did you call Logan?"

"No. I wasn't sure why he was there and once he came in he only asked to see Leah and Levi. I thought that he was just coming to see them. It had been two weeks since he had seen them and well I figured..."

"Hon it was Mitchum."

"But people change..."

"Like it said it was Mitchum. Anyway then what happened?"

"Well he asked to see the twins and he rocked them to sleep. It was after he put them back in their cribs that he talked to me. He walked out to the living room and I joined him. He cleared off the couch and I took a seat next to him. He wants me to write..."

"Write what?" Lorelai leaned in intrigued.

"Anything I want. He gave me complete freedom..."

"Except that Huntzberger Publishing Group would own whatever you write. Rory do you want that?"

"I'm not sure what I want. I wanted to be a journalist and that just never happened and with the twins there aren't going to be many job offers. This could be my only option..."

"Do you really think that? The twins did not end your career they just postponed it. Something great is going to come along trust me."

"But what if this is that something great? What if I turn this down and then nothing else comes around? This could be it for me mom..."

"Since when did you turn into a pessimist? I raised you as looking at the coffee cup as half full not half empty. This is not going to be it for you and I am not just saying that because I am your mother I say that because it is true."

"Mom but this offer..."

"Listen, try writing with no commitments just yet. Write for yourself and see how it goes. Mitchum hasn't put a deadline on your offer yet and until he does just delay your answer. Once you see how this all is going ask yourself if you want to give up the rights to your writings. That is all I ask."

Rory grew silent and looked into her mother's pleading eyes. A part of her agreed with her mother but the other part wanted a job but what could a trial run hurt?

"I'll do it."

Lorelai leaned back in her chair victorious.

"That is all I ask. So what is up with you and Logan?"

"He is mad that I didn't tell him."

"Why didn't you?" Lorelai took a sip from her cup for the first time.

"I don't really know. I should have but I knew he would try to talk me out of it. I just don't want to be talked out of it."

"That's understandable but that's not the only reason you left is it?"

Rory stared into her coffee cup. She had forgotten that her mother knew her this well.

"No."

"Rory? This is the second time you have been at my house crying about this whole Logan thing. Is he what you really want?" Rory was shocked by her question.

"Yes Logan is all I ever wanted. My problem with him is that he wants me to stay home with the twins all the time. You and I both know that I love them to death but that is not what I ever wanted to do. Anytime I try to bring that up with him he tells me all this crap about how he has given up so much to be with us and I just want to slap him. I never asked him to be with me. He could have gone to California and he knows that. I would have followed him anywhere but now he just guilts me into staying home. If he wants a different job he can find one but he told me what his dad was offering him was something that he always wanted. He told me it was his dream job and yet here we are. I just wish he could have brought up these concerns before we bought a house and got comfortable there you know?" Rory sighed looking up at her mom.

"I get that you're upset and you have a right to be but you need to talk to him about this not just call off your engagement and throw your ring at his head if this is what you really want."

"He told you that?"

"What that you threw the ring at his head? Yeah and it started to bleed just in case you were wondering. Look Rory if you don't talk to him about these issues how is he going to know that you are so unhappy? Take it from me if you and your fiance are having issues talk about them because if you let them go too far you might ruin the whole thing. I mean look at Luke and I. We were friends for the longest time but once we dated and later got engaged we lost communication and the whole thing fell apart until recently. Don't be a Lorelai talk to him."

"I don't know if I can right now..."

"You don't have to do it tonight. How about this, spend the night here and talk to him tomorrow. We will make tonight a girls night, just you and me."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. I think Logan can handle the twins for one night. I'll call Luke and tell him to stay at his place tonight..."

"Mom you don't have to do that..."

"He will be fine with it. I think he wanted to stay there one night this week anyway. Go pick out a movie and I will order some food."

"Thanks for doing this mom."

"No problem it is kind of my job."

Rory got up and started to make her way to the living room.

"Oh and one more thing Rory."

Rory turned around and faced her mother.

"What is it mom?"

"Just remember that no matter what happens with Logan, I love you."

A/N: Like I said previously I already had this chapter typed and after re-reading it to make sure it was up to some high standards (haha) I figured that I wouldn't make you wait too much longer for the fight scene. So here it is, please review and let me know what you think.
