Finally, after what felt like years of planning and waiting, it was the night before the big wedding of the year. As tradition dictated, Rory and Logan found themselves apart and had booked into separate hotels in New Haven ahead of the main event. Rory having done a final check, making sure everything was in place for the big day, was trying to relax in her room with Honor and Steph – the nerves were starting to kick in.

"So are you really ready to do this?" Honor asked Rory.

"I really am," Rory said. "A bit nervous but that's perfectly natural right?"

Honor smiled and nodded. "Totally, don't you remember I had a mini freak out right before marrying Josh?"

"I never actually thought I'd see the day" Steph said as she shook her head "I mean, seriously, if you'd have asked me a few years ago whether I thought that Logan Huntzberger, THE Logan Huntzberger, would be able to settle down with just one girl, I would have laughed you out the room" she said.

"Hey that's my brother you're talking about," Honor said as she put her hands on her hips.

Steph raised an eyebrow. "And Honor, I am sure you know his reputation, as well as any of us, do..."

"True" Honor giggled. "It has to be said...well done Rory, you tamed the beast."

"And skipped the line. I still don't know how you managed to pull that off." Steph teased.

Rory laughed "It wasn't intentional, I didn't even know there was a line! You know I wasn't even that interested in Logan to start with, I thought he was a complete and utter ass but then as I got to know him better I started to find him..."

"Cute?" Steph giggled.

"Well yes, but actually I was going for intriguing. When I first met him he was so arrogant and cocky, and I was sure he was just another privileged rich boy playing with daddy's money but then as I slowly got to know the guy behind all of that...well, there was so much more there. He was funny, super intelligent, kind, compassionate..." Rory trailed off.

"And pretty good in bed I've heard," Steph said.

"Oh come on. I do not want to know" Honor said as she put her fingers in her ears.

Steph threw a pillow at Rory. "Come on Rory, spill. We all know that you two are like dogs on heat."

"La la la la la...I can't hear you" Honor shouted.

Rory shook her head "All I will say is that I definitely have no cause for complaints in that department." They all fell about giggling but were soon interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing.

Rory reached over to the side of bed to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Miss Gilmore? This Lynda, I am calling from Reception. We have a message for you from a Mr Huntzberger?"

"Oh, okay" Rory pulled a face at her friends, slightly puzzled as to why Logan would be leaving a message for her.

"Mr Huntzberger has asked us to pass the message on that he would like you to meet him outside the Sterling Memorial Library at 9 pm this evening."

Rory looked at the clock. It was 8.30pm now. "Okay, thank you," she said replacing the receiver.

"What was that all about?" Honor asked.

"Logan, being all mysterious and asking me to meet him..." Rory shrugged.

"Knowing Logan he probably just wants one last quickie before you're old and married." Steph joked.

"In the courtyard of the Library?" Rory raised an eyebrow and laughed. She pulled on her shoes and threw on a cardigan. "I'll be back in a bit."

Rory nervously made the short walk from the hotel over to the library. She wasn't sure why she was so on edge, she was already feeling nervous about the wedding and now this call from Logan had set all kinds of thoughts running through her head. Why did he want to see her? Was something the matter? As she approached the library she could see Logan waiting patiently outside for her. There was nobody else around as the area had been shut off for the wedding preparations. This normally didn't happen but the Huntzbergers and Gilmore's had both made such weighty donations to Yale in the past, that they were getting the VIP treatment.

"What's going on Logan?" she asked tentatively as she walked up to him, worried that perhaps he was having second thoughts.

"Nothing" he smiled "I just felt the need to see you one last time as my girlfriend, Rory Gilmore," he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Did I say I was changing my name...?" Rory teased him as he leant in to kiss her lightly on the lips. Her emotions were all over the place and she could feel her heart swell. She had no idea how she was going to get through the day tomorrow.

They sat down together on the cool grass and kicked off their shoes. It was a balmy September evening and one of Rory's favorite times of the year. She lay down on the grass and placed her head in Logan's lap, as they looked up at the starry sky above them. They passed the time talking about all manner of things - anything and everything including their crazy hopes and dreams for the future, both wondering exactly what path their lives were going to follow.

"I never thought we'd be here you know," Logan said as he ran his fingers through Rory's hair.

"Huh?" Rory looked up at him.

"When we first started fooling around at your grandparent's wedding we were just kids, weren't we? Would you have thought then that one day we would have ended up here?"

Rory paused for a moment. "Absolutely not, it never would have crossed my mind. Especially when we embarked, on the whole, no strings thing."

"I knew that was a wrong move from the start" Logan laughed "I tried to tell you that you were special and that it would be something right away, which it was."

"Yeah, it really did turn into something straight away" Rory mused. "Though I knew way before then that we would be something, or at least that I wanted us to be something."

Logan smiled. "Really? When?"

"The Life and Death Brigade event, just after you made me jump off that crazy tower. I was terrified but then it was such a rush and when we landed, all I wanted you to do was kiss me, right there."

"I wanted to" Logan admitted.

"and at that dreadful male Yale party my grandparents threw, and Dean ended it right there in front of everyone. In truth, I was more upset about the public humiliation rather than my relationship ending. It was completely wrong with Dean and then you were being all kind and all I could think about was you."

"Damn Ace, I was a complete disappointment huh. But I think I've more than made up for it since then?" he smiled as he kissed her.

"Oh I'd say so," she said as she kissed him right back.

Suddenly Logan stood up, pulling Rory up with him.

"Dance with me" he whispered softly in her ear. His breath touching her ear made Rory shiver.

"Dance? We can't dance? There's no music Logan!" Rory laughed.

"Oh live a little. We don't need music" he said as he slipped one arm around her waist and took her hand in his. "Tomorrow they'll be so many people around, I just want a moment for ourselves, ahead of the madness."

"You know, this will be a great scene for when they make a cheesy Lifetime movie about us" Rory joked, but she laid her head comfortably on Logan's shoulder as they swayed to the imaginary music.

Dancing there alone, barefoot on the grass, in the very spot that they would be married tomorrow felt incredibly special and impossibly romantic. Rory knew that whatever happened in their lives, that it would be a moment that she would remember forever.

"Logan, I really need to tell you something," she said as she pulled away from him.

He looked at her concerned. "This sounds serious. Do I need to worry about cold feet?"

"God, no it's nothing like that" she shook her head. "I mean, definitely not, we are SO doing this. It's just..." she took a deep breath and looked up at him with her big blue eyes "...Logan, I'm pregnant." She smiled a nervous smile waiting for him to respond.

"What? For real?" he asked open-mouthed. Out of everything that he could have imagined she was going to say, that was not even on the list.

"For real" she nodded.

"And you're sure?" Logan asked.

"Uh-huh. One hundred percent in fact. Five pregnancy testing kits would firmly back me up on this" she joked.

"I...I...don't know what to say," Logan said as he put his hand over his mouth.

"Wow. It's not often you're rendered speechless Huntzberger. I do hope that it's in a good way though"

"Of course, of course, it is Ace," he said sweeping her up in his arms and squeezing her tight. "You know I think this is amazing news, the BEST news...but you..." he shook his head "I mean...how do you feel about it...because I know..."

"Yeah," she said as she chewed the inside of her cheek nervously, she knew what he was trying to get at. "I'll be honest, I was pretty shocked, to say the least, but I have had a few days to get used to the idea and well, it's pretty exciting isn't it."

"It is exciting," Logan said squeezing and kissing. "We get to go through it all together this time, but you're really okay with it Rory, I need to know that..because if you're not..."

"Logan, relax, I am fine with it. Okay, I had a tiny freak out about it but I'm good now"

"But you wanted to finish grad school first and get a job..."

"And I will" Rory nodded. "I've thought about it all and everything is possible. I've got a long time to go and I'll get as much done at school as possible and then take a break from school for a semester or two. We've still got Marta when I want to get back into studying..."

Logan nodded "That sounds like a plan but what about after, you wanted to work Rory and I want that for you too.'

"We'll cross that bridge when it comes to it," Rory said as she grabbed hold of Logan's hand.

There was no denying that Rory had been dead-set against having another baby but she'd recently started to warm to the idea, realising that her life didn't have to be all or nothing. She'd had a lot of thoughts about it all and when she discovered she was pregnant she had wanted to get her own feelings sorted in her head before telling Logan about the baby. Rory had been so confused and conflicted when she found out but she was happy now and that was the absolute truth.

"I'm not complaining, but how did this even happen, I mean, we're always so careful, aren't we?" Logan said as he scratched his head.

"Well maybe we are not always as careful as we might like to think, seeing as this is the second time in my life I have found myself 'accidentally' pregnant!" she laughed "but well, we got a little caught up in New York and err I forgot to take my pill, so this one is all on me." She rolled her eyes. "Literally nobody else to blame but myself for this predicament," she said as she tapped her tummy.

"Aww that's not true Ace, I think there's a good chance I may have played a part in this, along with your old friends' tequila and champagne of course" he winked. "Who else knows?"

"Nobody. Oh, that's not true, Honor knows"

"Honor?" Logan raised an eyebrow.

"She kind of guessed at lunch the other day and I couldn't lie to her after she'd just told me what she had told me," Rory said cryptically as she tapped the said of her nose.

"What did you she tell you?" Logan said with a raised eyebrow.

"You did not hear this from me but she's pregnant too. Anyhow, I really don't want to tell anyone else yet, I want our wedding day to be our wedding day, you know, without a million questions about babies".

"Agreed." Logan nodded "No champagne for you then, bad timing Ace".

"Ugh, I know! Honor is going to discretely make sure that we both have something sparkling yet non-alcoholic in our glasses so we don't give anything away. "

"Perfect. It will be our little secret" he said as gently put his hand on her's and rubbed them over her tummy.
