5:45pm off to dinner with Honor, josh and the kid's
"Hi, We have a reservation for Huntzburger" Logan said
"Oh yes a table for 8, Right this way" hostess said
"Table for 8…. There's 4 adults and 3 kid's, how is that 8?" Rory ask's Logan
"I don't know maybe it's a mistake" Logan say's
Honor Josh and the kids arrive at the table 2 minute's later
Hello Logan, Sister. Did you have a fun night and good day today?" Honor ask's
"Yes Disney land at night is beautiful and even better when it's closed to the public?" Rory say's
"Well that's good, Finley was an absolute angel. He is so easy compared to Alexis and Aryn, Maybe because he's a boy" Honor say's
"Ya it's possible, But he's always been a good baby. He never really has cried in less he was hungry or dirty and those usually came at the same time" Logan said
"Speaking about baby's, Let me see that bump. Do you know the sex yet?" Rory asks
"It's a boy" Josh say's
"That's great" Logan say's
"Ya it is I get to buy all the cute boy things now" Honor said
Up walks Mitchum
"Hey dad" Honor said happily
"Mitchum, What are you doing here?" Logan say's with a nod
"I had a company meeting out here today, Can I join you for dinner?"
"Yes sure" Logan say's
It seemed clear how a table for 7 became 8, he added himself to the reservation
"Hi Mitchum" Rory say's
"Hi Rory" Mitchum sais with a smile
"So Mitchum was the meeting for" Logan asked
"Oh I just wanted to come check out the paper we have here" Mitchum said
"You know I would have been more then glad to take the meeting for you since I was here already" Logan said
"I know I just thought I would let you get settled in it's your first full day of vacation" Mitchum said
'Well thank you dad, We did have a late night last night while honor watched Finley" Logan said
"Ya it was great practice having a baby boy around to prepare for this one" honor said while rubbing her bump
"Your having a boy? How wonderful I will have two of each sec of grandchild Until more comes that is" Mitchum said
This is the happiest he has ever sounded about one of honors pregnancies, He was thrilled when he found out Rory was having a boy, Maybe its because he would be the next heir and keep the Huntzburger name alive. Logan knew Mitchum loved all his grand kids but Finley was his favorite even if he tried not to show it he did.
"Speaking about my grandson hand him to grandpa" Mitchum said while holding his arms out
"Who's getting another grandson? Yes I am" Mitchum said in a baby voice to Finley
"Honor, I have something to tell you that will make you laugh" Rory said
"Ok, laugh as in It s safe to drink or laugh like I will end up crying" Honor asked
"Closer to crying I think" Rory said
"Ok go"
"Ok so Logan ordered a vat of coffee from room service and they sent a woman to bring it to us, Well Logan was just in boxer briefs…. The woman never took her eye's off him, She didn't even notice me. she even stuttered and ended up tripping and almost face planted into the door, Your brother Logan Huntzburger was oblivious….. He always used to notice if he was being checked out" Rory said
"Well he does only have eyes for you, so love has made him blind to any outside forces" Honor said
"That shows a husbands true feeling's, you know when hes oblivious to other women that he is truly 100% in love with you and you have his full heart" Josh said
"I never thought I would see my son so in love with a woman, never mind having her as an equal partner in their marriage, It's nice to see my son has become an amazing man and didn't make the same mistakes as me" Mitchum said
"I also have some news to tell you both…." Mitchum said
"Oh, Is everything ok?" Honor asked
"Well Logan and Rory know a bit about this but, I think I should tell you all first the latest, Me and Your mother have been fighting a lot lately because I had suspicions of things, Well I found out she has been having an affair with a man on and off since Logan was 6 month's old, I have decided I'm divorcing your mother" Mitchum said
"We knew you that the only talking between you was basically fighting, so we kind of knew that neither of you where sleeping in the same room. But dad she's going to try and take you for everything. I have proof of the affair pictures from a few weeks ago of her naked in a hotel kissing him and she since broke it off with him knowing I had suspicions of the affair and he got angry and came to me and told me how long it's been going on, He taped a statement if it's needed in court. She wont get a penny in less I personally give it to her" Mitchum said
'Well that's good, but please don't leave her homeless she is still our mother" Honor said
"No I will have an apartment set for her that I own, I will have her groceries paid for, she will have a car and have a monthly allowance of what I deem reasonable and she will need to work, Its still a better condition then how I met her, She was my wife of over 30 years I used to love her but we made mistakes and it took a toll on our marriage, Hell it even but a strain on my relationship with my kids and my grand daughter's, I didn't understand how cold I was until Rory and Logan came to me about the pregnancy and deciding to get married that your mother is very much a hypocrite, She judged them harshly for a situation they where in that me and her had been in ourselves and blamed Rory for the whole situation when it takes two to tango" Mitchum say's
Rory and Logan crack up a bit
"What's so funny about that" Mitchum asks
"Well the night finley was conceived we went to a tango bar so the saying it takes two to tango kind of fit's" Logan said
"Oh, well then yes it does fit, it sounds like a very romantic night" Mitchum said
"Yes it was" Rory and Logan say in unison
After dinner they all went their separate ways. Rory and Logan decided tonight was a sit in bed and watch movies with finley kind of night, They wanted to enjoy being a family and spending time with their son.
Over the next few day's Rory, Logan, Finn, Stephanie, Colin, Robert, Rosemary, Juliet, Honor and all the kid's got together and shopped, Had lunch, Toured universal studio's, and warner brother's, went to the California science center, and the art museum, They had a private pool party at the hotel, They even had a beach day and a second adults only night.
7 day's pass February 18th
When Rory, Logan and honor all went back home to reality they had messages from their mother whining how dare Mitchum divorce her after all these years and how she was ousted out of high society. She even made lunch plan's to speak with Rory to try and get her to convince Mitchum to change his mind about the divorce and when that didn't work she tried to use her kids and guilt them into either helping support her or getting Mitchum to give her more of an allowance because it was impossible to live off what he gave her and she shouldn't have to work. Well needless to say the guilt trips didn't work on any of them and they where not going to go against mitchum's wish's.
"I cant believe my mother tried to sweet talk you into talking to my dad about their divorce after the way she treated you" Logan said
"Well I guess she figured that he may listen to me seeing as me and him now get along and he praises me so highly" she said
"Yes, but still what would make her think you would help her out, She's been nothing but rude and judgmental about us and made it very clear from day one she didn't think you where good enough for her only son" he said
"Well it doesn't matter what she thinks about me the only person's opinion of me that matters is yours" she said
"I know and I'm happy that you don't feel you need the approval of everyone because that can make like very hard is society" he said
"Well it would be really hard to keep everyone happy so I just focus on keeping my self and our family happy " she said
"Have I told you how amazing you are and that I love you lately?" he said
"Yes but it's always nice to be reminded" she said with a smile
Rory had started attending DAR meetings and event's more and more since her and Logan got married and she even got Logan to happily attend knowing he didn't really like the event's but he would do anything for his beautiful wife, He loved going to the ones she planned as they where probably the most fun and he knew he could count on seeing the boy's at these ones. Logan loved how she was embracing the society life so well and it made her happy to keep up the huntzburger's social expectations of a wife even if she wasn't the typical society wife, Her and Logan lived by their own rules.
Almost 6 weeks pass march 30th
The last 6 weeks have been crazy with social engagement's, 12 to be exact thankfully Logan didn't have to attend them all just the evening and weekend event's, Rory attended the garden and tea parties. Mitchum even attended most of these event's with the woman he was now seeing who was named Gwen since his divorce became final. Gwen is who he was engaged to marry before he married Shira, She was now a widow who had 3 grown children in their 20's, It took her a long time to get over Mitchum so she did not marry for many years after.
It is currently the Easter long weekend, Mitchum decided that he should have a family weekend with, Honor, Josh, Rory, Logan and his grand kid's, He planned an Easter egg hunt, Had the kids get Easter photo's done he even had a few blow up castles for the kids to play on, He planned a full weekend of thing's and the kids all stayed at the family home. They had the traditional eater dinner and reminisced about their childhood's and even Mitchum said Rory grew up in a fun and loving environment even with all the crazy traditions. This proved to his children that he has changed, Hes been much happier since he retired and divorced Shira.
A few day's later April 2nd
Rory and Logan get to their New York home, Unpack, Rory get's Finley to bed and Logan makes a fire so they can settle in to drink coffee by the fire and talk.
"Wow, I didn't realize that my mom was the reason my dad was so harsh and cold, He seems much happier now that the divorce is final and he's retired. He's even proud how I'm running the business and he likes the ideas we have for the Company childcare and everything" he said
"If I didn't know better I would think and alien took over your dad's body, he's actually embracing retirement and not trying to control every aspect of the company and letting you make improvement's" she said
"I know I'm actually liking this side of him, He's so the exact opposite of what I knew him as and he's even paying more attention to Alex and Aryn" he said
"I wonder how he's going to feel about me working along side you at the company if we still decide to do that" she asked
"Well he may be ok with it knowing that Finley would still be close by and it would be helping me do my work twice as fast so I can have more family time" he said
"Well I hope the new Mitchum doesn't have an old Mitchum freak out" she said
"Honestly I don't think it will happen he may be a little upset but he will understand, We aren't exactly the typical high society old fashioned kind of family and he cant expect us to change" he said
"Well that is true, and its not like I would be working 60+ hours a week" she said
