A/N: I am so sorry! I have been horrible with this story, I know. I've had a lot of personal stuff going on since the last time I updated, plus I am really busy with my senior year at my high school, but I'm updating now, right?

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Rory

I wasn't sure where to go from here. I felt like I had my husband at the tips of my fingers and was so close to having my whole family together again. Cameron asked me on a daily basis when Daddy was coming back, and I wished more than anything that I had an answer for her. I knew everything would be alright the second Logan's lips touched mine again at the hospital. It felt like the thing I was missing was finally back again, until we parted and I remembered our situation. I knew he wanted to come home, I knew it by looking at his eyes after he kissed me. All he had to do was come home, but it was his decision to make as of when. I couldn't force him. I wanted nothing more than to have him back as it was always supposed to be.

I took Lawrence home that night. Logan had walked us to the door and held an umbrella over me as I held our son in my arms. We got to the door and I unlocked it. I walked in and turned around, seeing him standing at the doorframe, as if he couldn't come in. I was about to tell him to get inside where he belong when I noticed the look in his eye. It was the look I had seen numerous times. It was the look of determination.

"It's late. I have to go." He told me, while turning away. I thought of something to say to clear the air. I wanted him to know that I wanted him home.

"Logan." I said, still not exactly sure what I was going to say. He turned around and looked at me. "I love you." I wished he would just hold me again, the same way he had when Cameron was in the hospital so many months ago and the way he almost every night since then.

He glared at me. I could feel him staring into my soul, in that earth shaking way that he always had. "I love you too Ace." He said quickly, breaking our eye contact by turning away. That was all I needed to hear.

Logan

I could hardly stop myself from entering our apartment that night. I didn't deserve to after what I had put my whole family through. I was working out a plan to make things normal again. I was hoping that this plan would make up for me leaving, even in the slightest way. I wanted to keep it completely a secret, I wanted to surprise Rory.

I was going to marry her again. I had asked Lorelai if she would help me and she was more than willing to let us use the Inn and help keep it a secret, it was planned for 10 days after Lawrence's hospital visit. I had put a lot of energy into this, plus making sure that I stayed on good terms with Rory. I called her every night and talked to her and wished Cameron goodnight. It broke my heart when my daughter would tell me to come home, but I couldn't, not yet anyway. The night before our vow renewal was set; I made sure she knew I was coming home.

"How much longer is this going to last Logan?" Rory asked me. If only she knew how close I was.

"Until everything is fixed between us Ace." I told her. I knew it was a vague response and it didn't really answer her question.

"Well how can you do that if your not home?" I hated that I was still doing this to her. I wanted to be able to get up in the morning and help Cameron and Lawrence get ready and make Rory's coffee.

"Good things come to those who wait Ace." Again, vague. What else was I supposed to say? I wasn't going to ruin my surprise for her. She would just have to wait.

"What are you planning?" Damn, she knew me too well.

"Nothing Ace, but I have an early meeting tomorrow. I should really get to bed. Give Lawrence a kiss for me." I tried to end our conversation quickly, before I gave too much away.

"Not so fast Huntzberger. I have known you for what, 8 or 9 years now? I know when you have something up your sleeve." And she pulled me back in. Still, I gave away nothing.

"I don't have sleeves on right now." I laughed inside my head. I knew what her next words would be even before she said it.

"Dirty." I knew her just as well as she knew me.

"Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too. Goodnight." I hung up. She really did make it hard for me.

Lorelai

I was so excited for Rory. How often do you get your estranged husband planning a very elaborate vow renewal ceremony? What a way to say 'I'm sorry', let me tell you. If she wouldn't take him back, then I'd dump Luke for him. I had several instructions to help set up this event. Get a dress, get Sookie to cook, get the Inn set up and get Rory out to Stars Hallow. I knew she would come without a fight. Stars Hallow would always be her home in some way, even though she lived in New York. I looked outside the window to see Rory's car pull into the drive way. I walked outside and greeted her.

"So how about we have breakfast and then you, Lawrence and Cameron can come and see the inner workings of the Dragonfly." I suggested.

"Mom, I was there when you built it. I know the inner workings." She responded. That girl always did have a tongue on her; I knew I raised her well.

"Yes, you do, but Lawrence and Cameron don't and I want them to know what to do after you're the reigning Lorelai." I looked at her, studying if she would buy it. She knew I was quirky, she'd believe it.

"Geez, Mom don't say stuff like that. You know you'll live forever."

"Like on 'Fame'? I always wanted to live forever." I smiled as we got into her car and drove to Luke's.

"Yes Mom, like on 'Fame'" She was patronizing me. My own daughter, my flesh and blood. I never thought I'd see the day. We walked into Luke's and sat down. The one good thing about being married to this particular diner owner, great service. I smiled when he came over and gave us coffee and took our orders.

"So tell me, what's going on with hubby number 1?" I said sarcastically. I wanted to find out how much she knew.

"Don't call him that and he has something up his sleeve." She said. I wasn't shocked. Rory was extremely observant.

"What do you mean?" I asked, like I knew nothing about what would happen once we went to the Inn.

"It's Logan. That's how I know. He's planning something."

"Do you have any idea what it could be?" I wondered if I was being too curious, giving myself away. Hell, I probably wouldn't even have to give myself away for her to know I knew something.

"Not as of yet. Why, do you know anything?" Damn, the girl was too smart for her own good.

"No, of course not. Why would I know anything?" I drank a large gulp of my coffee, letting the cup linger on my lips. I wouldn't answer anymore questions. We finished our breakfast in peace.

"Mommy, Nana, can we go to the Dragonfly now? I want to see Michel." My Granddaughter was weird. I knew she got that from Rory.

"Sure, hon. let's go." I looked at my watch. We were right on time for when Logan asked me to make sure she was there by. We got up and started driving.

Rory

I knew this man for so long, he was my husband and the Father of my children. I knew when he was planning something, especially since he had been gone for a while. I kept my thoughts with him all the way to the Dragonfly. I wondered when I would see him again. I had been so hurt by him leaving, yet I was so willing to take him back. I knew he loved me and I knew he loved our kids. He had shown that so many times. We pulled up to the Inn and I helped Cameron out of the car while Mom held Lawrence. She seemed a little quiet on the drive, so I knew she was a part of it. We walked into the Inn and I was surprised by what I saw. There were flowers everywhere. I turned to Mom.

"Do you have a wedding going on today?" I asked her. The Inn held a lot of weddings, but nothing quite like this.

"Something like that." I looked at her confused. I looked around for a second before I saw him. I smiled, knowing I was right. He walked up to me.

"Hey Ace." Wow, so casual. Like he had nothing to do with this.

"Hey yourself. What's this?" I asked him. I knew he planned this, I just didn't know the details of it.

"It's our vow renewal." He smirked at me, the trademark Huntzberger smirk.

"What?" I wasn't expecting anything like this. I actually wasn't sure what I was expecting anything quite so elaborate, but I should have known.

"We are going to renew our vows today, that's if you'll take me back." He looked like he thought I could actually say no. I threw my arms around him.

"Of course I will." I smiled. That's when I noticed many of my friends were hiding throughout the room. Wow, he really didn't miss anyone.

"That's what I thought you would say." I smiled at him. "Now your Mom has a dress all picked out for you in a room upstairs. Go get ready, the show starts in one hour."

I looked at him and laughed a little. It felt good to laugh with my husband again. "The show?"

"You know what I mean Ace, go already." I let go with him and followed my Mom upstairs, staring at him as I took each step. God, I loved that man. We walked into a room and my Mom pulled out my dress. It was amazing. There was a good chance that I loved this dress more than my wedding dress. I put it on and got dressed and before I knew it, it was show time.

Logan

I watched her walk towards me in the dress that Lorelai picked out for her. I had no words for how amazing she looked. I stood there and stared at her like a drooling idiot, but there wasn't anything else I could do. I was paralyzed. I didn't remember much of what I told her, or what she told me that day. All I remembered was kissing her for what felt like the first time and never wanting to let her lips leave mine.
