The next day Logan left Rory tucked up in their bed while he went out and did what he needed to do. Rory was insistent that she was feeling absolutely fine but as she had still had a sizeable bump on the back of her head, Logan wanted her to rest up and he wasn't going to take no for an answer. He'd arranged for Steph to pop in and keep her company for a while as well as helping to keep Ava occupied while he was out. He thought about taking Ava with him but didn't want her to have to witness any potential fallout.

It had been such a scary moment for him when Mitchum had come to get him out of his meeting to tell him about Rory. He had no idea what he was going to find waiting for him when he got to the hospital but the thought of losing Rory or their unborn child had absolutely terrified him. The relief to find out it wasn't anything serious was huge but it was a wake-up call - Logan was fully aware that Rory had been put under a whole lot of extra pressure recently and as far as he was concerned, it had to stop.

Logan arrived in Stars Hollow just before lunchtime and headed straight to the Dragonfly Inn to speak to Lorelai. When he walked in she was somewhat surprised to see him there.

"Logan…is everything okay? Rory…." Lorelai asked concerned. She had been planning to call the house to see how she was but didn't want to disturb her if she was resting.

"Don't worry, Rory is absolutely fine" Logan smiled "She's a completely impossible patient, but she's good. I actually just wanted to talk to you for a few minutes if possible?"

"Oh, sure," Lorelai said as she put down the folder she was carrying. "Let's sit over there shall we," she said as she pointed towards the couch. "What can I do for you Logan?"

Logan sat down on the couch opposite Lorelai. "So, I spoke to Rory when we got back last night and I the upshot is that today I am calling off the wedding."

"You are?!" Lorelai looked at Logan a little stunned at this news. Rory had been really excited about the prospect of marrying Logan, she was struggling to comprehend such a turnaround of events. "I…don't understand"

"The doctor said we needed to limit stress. Last night, Rory admitted how overwhelmed she has been feeling with all the wedding plans being made for her. She didn't want all this fuss Lorelai, you know that" Logan said.

Lorelai nodded. "But does she really want to call it off?"

Logan shook his head "No, she doesn't which is why I want to talk to you. We are going to get married still, but we're going to do it our way and to do that I am going to need your help."

"Okay, I am listening," Lorelai said, intrigued.

She listened as Logan explained to her that he knew that all that really mattered to Rory was having her friends and family around them and what he wanted more than anything was to give her the perfect day that she deserved, right there in Stars Hollow.

Lorelai smiled. She knew instinctively that was exactly what Rory would want. Sure, Rory could pull off the high society thing and even enjoy it from time to time but when it came to something this important? She would want something different from the cookie-cutter Hartford society weddings.

"I think that sounds perfect Logan. When are you thinking? Are you planning the same date?"

"No…," he said sheepishly. "We're going to be doing it in four weeks" Logan paused for reaction.

"Four weeks? Are you crazy? We can't do all this in four weeks!" Lorelai said open-mouthed.

"Come on Lorelai, where's your sense of adventure!" he smirked before he turned slightly more serious "I know it sounds soon but I also know that Rory is becoming a little self-conscious of how she will look, I think it might be part of the reason she found the dress shopping experience overwhelming. If we can pull it off in the next four weeks, she still only has a small bump and I'll let you in on a secret you right now, there's also another reason it needs to be in four weeks…"

Lorelai raised an eyebrow "Spill"

"If we can pull it together, it will mean that Lane can be there and the band can play. I've already checked and it fits with their schedule…"

"Oooooh, you're good!" Lorelai said.

"So we can do this right? It's totally doable?" Logan asked with a cheeky smile.

Lorelai shook her head "I must be crazy"

As soon as Logan left the Dragonfly, he called up his parents and asked them to meet him at the Gilmore's house straightaway. He had already spoken to Richard and Emily and told them he needed to speak with them urgently. Given the situation that had occurred with Rory the day previously, both couples were unusually compliant and when Logan arrived back in Hartford at the Gilmore residence, they were waiting for him in the lounge with their drinks.

"Logan, what is this about?" Mitchum asked as he son walked into the room.

Logan looked at the four sets of eyes that were staring at him expectantly.

"Is everything okay with Rory?" Emily asked.

"Rory is fine…but I wanted to speak to you all together to let you know that we are cancelling the wedding" Logan said quickly and waited for their response.

Emily gasped and looked over at Richard. "You are cancelling the wedding, why on earth would you do such a thing?" she said as she shook her head.

"Emily, this whole big society wedding thing, it's not what Rory wants, it's not what either of us wants" he shrugged.

"Logan…" Shira smiled. "You know that this is bigger than just what you and Rory want. There are protocols that need to be followed, reputations to uphold" she said sweetly. "Emily and I…we've been to a lot of these events, we know what is expected."

"With all due respect, I really don't give a crap about reputations or protocols. What I care about is my family. You saw what happened yesterday with Rory, you were there" Logan said.

"Yes, but…" Shira trailed off.

"No! Enough is enough. There has been way too much pressure heaped on Rory recently and I'm not having it anymore. Now, we ARE still going to get married but we're going to be doing it our way. You don't have to like it but you do have to just suck it up" Logan said firmly.

"Now listen…" Emily started to stand up but Richard stopped her.

"Emily…if this is what they want, then this is how it should be. We all want what is best for Rory don't we?"

"I suppose so" she sighed.

"Thank you. Now I had better get going, I need to get back to Rory".

Logan said his goodbyes and left the house having said what he came to say, leaving his parents and Rory's grandparents to talk amongst themselves.

When Logan got back to their house, he was surprised to see that Rory was up and about in the kitchen.

"I thought I told you to stay in bed madam," he said as he slid his arms around her waist. "How are you feeling?"

Rory turned around to him "Logan, I am fine" she smiled as she kissed him gently on the lips. She pulled away and handed him a cup of coffee, which he took from her and made his way over to the couch, where he sat down and put the hot cup down on the table.

"It's quiet?" Logan asked as he noticed the absence of the bundle of energy otherwise known as their daughter.

"Steph has taken Ava out of a bit and I was bored upstairs. So tell me, what have you been up to today…" Rory said as she sat on his lap and curled into him, laying her head on his shoulder.

"How do you know I have been up to anything?" he smirked as she played with the ends of her hair.

"You forget how well I know you. You're always up to something Huntzberger!" she teased.

"You got me there" he laughed. "So…I called off the wedding today."

Rory pulled her head up off his shoulder and looked at him stunned "You did?!"

"Uh huh. And it's all been rescheduled…this time in four weeks we'll be Mr and Mrs Huntzberger" he smiled.

"Four weeks!" she shrieked " Four weeks? Are you kidding me?" Rory looked at Logan in shock.

"Nope! It's all being planned as we speak. I didn't see the point in waiting and as we're going low-key it's far easier to arrange on a tight timescale. How does a backyard wedding in Stars Hollow sound? That backyard being the one belonging to the Dragonfly Inn…" he smiled.

"Oh my god, Really?' she squealed as she threw her arms around his neck "I think it sounds perfect! Just one thing…" she said as she pulled back from him a little. "How on earth did you get this past the wedding police?"

Logan shrugged. "I simply told them how it was going to be. This is our wedding Ace, we're going to do it our way!"

"Ahh, I don't think I've ever loved you more than I do right at this moment," Rory said happily.

"Is that right?" he smirked with a raised eyebrow.

"That's so right," she said as she kissed him lightly and started to unbutton his shirt.

"Ace…." he said as he took hold of her hands and cocked his head to look at her.

"Oh come on Logan I am fine!" she sighed.

Logan smiled "but your head…."

"…has a really small bump on it. Sure, I doubt you'll be hammering it into the headboard anytime soon but this couch looks pretty soft and comfy…" she winked.

Logan was about to protest some more but before he could Rory had moved to straddle his lap and he knew it was all over for him, he never could resist her and certainly not when she was the one making all the moves.

Rory grabbed the back of his head and started to kiss him deeply and passionately. Logan immediately responded by grabbing her ass and pulling her tight against him before he slid his hands underneath her shirt to feel the bare skin of her back. They quickly made light work of removing their clothes, tossing them onto the kitchen floor. Logan moved his hand down between her legs to feel how wet she was as he gently sucked and tugged on her nipples eliciting a moan from Rory.

As good as it felt, and it felt really good to be touched by Logan, all Rory really wanted to do was feel him inside of her. She wriggled her hips and moved to position herself so that she could lower herself down onto him. Rory watched his face intently, wanting to see the lust and pleasure in his expression. Logan closed his eyes and they both moaned as he slid into her and filled her completely. He lightly grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her lips to hers – they completely lost themselves in a feverish kiss.

As their tongues roughly explored each other's mouths, Rory began to slowly grind her hips on Logan, which made them both feel a little crazy with need. Logan knew that he couldn't take anymore and he bucked his hips to meet hers as they picked up the pace. Feeling him deep inside her, Rory could sense her orgasm creeping closer and closer and she grabbed the back of the couch behind his head so that she could ride him just that little bit harder, moaning loudly as she finally fell over the precipice. Logan continued to thrust up hard, repeatedly calling out her name until he could hang on no longer and with a loud groan, he let himself go. Rory leaned forward and rested her head on his shoulder while they attempted to catch their breath.

Logan leaned up and kissed her with a smile. "Wow, if I knew that was the response I was going to get, I would have cancelled our wedding sooner" he winked.
