September Stars Hollow"Levi, come on lets go" Logan was overwhelmed. Rory was in a coma and had been for a while now; a month to be exact and Logan had been left to bring their newborn son home to the house he'd bought as a surprise for Rory, right on main street Stars Hollow. Of course Rory had yet to see this house, but after Bradley was born they couldn't all stay at the inn or at Lorelai's so Logan had to move them in here.
"Coming" Logan knew that Levi wasn't coming he was watching the TV; he could hear it from here.
"I'm serious Levi, we're waiting for you" Logan stood at the front door Bradley in his stroller and Eden in his arms and Dylan standing outside paddling in the puddles the rain had left behind.
"I'm coming now" Levi turned off the TV and stomped down the stairs in his little yellow wellies.
"Right lets go"
Logan walked out with all 4 of them and they looked the perfect picture of a family but with a bit cut off, Rory.
He felt so venerable without Rory, yet he was the one who spent all his time protecting her.
He dragged his parade of children to Luke's for lunch. He wasn't much of a cook or anything like Rory would be at taking care of them so he was pretty much relying on Luke's diner and Luke and Lorelai's house. He'd taken some time from work and left Adam in charge of their home in Beverley Hills.
He was so nervous taking care of them all, every move he made had to be thought out about carefully, what would Rory do in these situations, what should he do? Tomorrow would be the worst of all, it was Levi's first day of kindergarten and Logan felt bad taking him when Rory wasn't there, she would want to be there. Lorelai had convinced him to take Levi because Rory wouldn't want Levi to miss school, Lorelai knew how much Rory loved school and how much she longed for her children to love school.
"Hey Luke" Levi greeted as he cam in and pulled himself up to the counter "Pancakes please" He smiled at Luke.
"Hey" Logan parked Bradley's stroller in the corner and took him out to the counter.
"Hey guys, so what can I get the rest of you?" Luke asked in his usual way.
"Erm I'll have a hamburger, Dylan?"
"Pie" Dylan chirped up from on the floor, he was just sat there with a plastic train and a plastic FedEx truck.
"Pie?" Logan asked looking down as Dylan looked up his endearing little eyes.
"Yeah, apple"
"Ok then pie it is. And can I please have some fries for Eden to attempt to eat" Logan ordered thinking of everyone.
"Let me heat that" Luke took the bottle of formula from the counter into the kitchen area.
Throughout the meal Logan struggled like he had done for the past month to take care of the 4 of them all together and the struggle to just got harder as the day got longer. And the day was long.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
October Stars Hollow"Levi, you have to go to school, come on sweetie" Logan was sweet-talking Levi into coming while rocking a screaming Bradley in his arms.
"No, I want my mommy" Levi screamed storming from the bathroom and into the room he and Dylan shared.
"Oh Levi, baby, your mommy is so so proud of you going to school, she wants to be there so much to see you, she will be soon I promise" Logan was basically begging the boy to get up and go to school.
"No"
Logan was so stressed. He'd been to work about twice this month and he'd been feeding all his children take out for 2 whole months. Lorelai was helping but he was pushing her away more and more he was trying to prove to some unknown higher force that he could take care of his children. Even if he wasn't Eden's father she was still his and so he was taking care of her but it was hard. He was like super dad some days then other days he just lay in bed while they all ran riots. Dylan and Levi were just so energetic he couldn't control them and then there were the upset days like today and he couldn't handle them wither. Eden wasn't as energetic but she was at the age where every second she needed playing with, but then she still gets all whiny when she wants her mom but Logan felt bad not being able to give it to her. Bradley was the quietest and most content he just lay, his eyes wide open taking in every little movement and colour. Logan just feared the more he saw Logan the more he relied on Logan and wouldn't on Rory when she came back.
"Levi, come on, after school I promise that we'll go see your mom and we'll tell her all about how much fun you had at school and then she'll try harder to wake up sooner, just for you."
"No, No, No" Levi was screaming now and Logan had absolutely no idea, he'd not been prepared for this. Rory was supposed to be here, she was supposed to be ok.
"Daddy, I'm hungry" Dylan came strolling up the stairs casually announcing his need for food.
"One minute Dylan" Logan was panicking; he was trying to make a decision about how to handle Levi yet still trying to divide his attention between 4.
"But I'm hungry" Dylan stomped his little foot down and Logan's mind was spinning, he was loosing all control he didn't know what to do.
Logan stood up and walked to the phone picked it up and dialled.
"Hello, Dragonfly Inn, Michel speaking, how may I help you?" Michel chimed in his deep French accent.
"Michel, put Lorelai on please" Speaking quickly Logan's heart was pounding at the same rate.
"Lorelai here"
"It's Logan. I need you to come over now. I don't know what t do. I'm going to get Rory, I need you to watch them for a while" Logan quickly hung up, he wasn't thinking straight. He ran down stairs and outside got in his car and drove away. He was way in over his head.
When Lorelai arrived the place was a disaster scene and it was then she realised she should have resisted Logan's pushing away and just kept at him, he really needed her and she had just stepped down without a fight.
She found Levi asleep on the floor behind his bedroom door after picking the lock. Dylan was sat in the kitchen a doughnut in his hand and jam all down his tee shirt. Eden was laid flat out in front of the TV sleeping and Bradley screaming his head off in his crib. Lorelai flat bad that she had allowed it to get even a fraction of this bad.
"Dylan sweetie, here's a napkin and here's a new shirt. Oh and a plate, now I trust you know what to do with them. I'll be back in a while to make you some real lunch" Lorelai ordered she was like a commander when she got into her role of mother. She'd never been a mother of 4, but she always enjoyed a challenge.
Lorelai picked Levi up form the floor and woke him up.
"Take your uniform off honey and put something else on then come downstairs I'm making lunch." Lorelai kissed Levi's forehead and ruffled his hair. She had loved that boy since the minute she had heard of his birth, she had loved them all since the minute she had known of their birth.
As soon as Lorelai had started she had almost finished. It takes a mother to be in control.
She had Eden fed and in her crib and Bradley rocked and fed before she made lunch for the boys. She loved to take care of them but she knew how much they missed having Rory around even if all of them couldn't say it. Bradley wouldn't know who his mom was when she woke up and that scared Lorelai, what if Rory couldn't bond with him because she was away so long.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Hey Rory, It's me, Logan" Logan spoke softly, holding Rory's hand. "I feel really bad, I left the kids with Lorelai and walked out, I can't cope Rory I'm sorry" Logan's eyes started to fill with sour tears "I need you to come back, I need you to wake up Rory" He was fully crying now, head laid down on Rory's bed. "Please"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
