Thank you for all of the response. I love hearing your thoughts. I can't wait to hear what you think. This has been such a special story to me. I love all of the alerts and favorites. I hope you enjoy. Happy reading! Enjoy!
Logan had gone back to work. Rory had taken Sophie and met Jenny and the kids at the park. She loved having the time to be a mom and do "normal" mom things.
Jenny asked, "How is it being an old married woman?"
Rory chuckled. "This is only my third day married. So far it isn't much different. He still does the little things that drive me crazy, but I love it."
"Just wait for it. You are still in the honeymoon phase of marriage."
"Just add a baby."
Jenny laughed. "True. I can't get over how perfect you and Logan are."
"No, we aren't. We are just as screwed up as everyone else around here is."
"You are perfect. You are like one of those cheesy movies with the unrealistic happy ending that everyone only hopes for."
"Logan is baby crazy."
"Really?"
"Yeah. He wants a sports team full of kids. We don't have enough time for that. I'm running out of time. I'm just afraid I'm not going to be able to give him what he wants."
Jenny laughed. "He will be happy with two or three kids. Heck, Logan will be happy with just Sophie if that is what happens. He is obsessed with the two of you."
"He wants to start trying again. I talked him into waiting until she is six months thank goodness."
"You aren't going to be able to keep his hands off of you."
"I don't think I will really have a problem with that. He is hard to say no to. I mean I've only been able to say no once and we see where that got me."
Jenny laughed. "I really don't think that any of us have a problem with the attention that our husbands give us."
Lincoln came over and said, "Baby Sophie!"
Rory chuckled. "She's happy to see her Linc."
Jenny said, "We are going to be in-laws in the future. Lincoln is obsessed with her."
Rory told her, "Don't say that around Logan. He has already said that he is locking her up until she is 80."
"Dean says the same about Karsyn."
"Our men."
"Yep. I'm so glad that I have you. I still don't fit in here."
"Sure, you do. People love you. I'm lucky to have you. I'm a terrible mom."
"Stop it. You are a great mom."
"Thank you for today. I'm not used to being without Logan. He has been around constantly for the last two and a half months with everything going on. I thought it was driving me nuts, but I actually loved it."
Jenny smiled. "Welcome to love and marriage. They drive you crazy, but you can't live without them."
"I think I am going to pack Sophie up tomorrow and go into the city to have lunch with Logan."
"I'm sure he would love that. Plus, it will be a good change for you, too."
"Yeah. Hugo has been so great. He keeps asking when he gets to meet her. He has been so great to work with Logan the way that he has through the pregnancy."
"She is a special little girl. Everyone loves her."
"I think so. I need to get her home for her nap so she is in a good mood when her daddy gets home."
"Yeah. It's nap time at our house, too."
Rory and Jenny got the kids packed up and headed home.
Rory had just gotten Sophie down for her nap. There was a knock on the door.
Rory opened the door to see Finn. Finn said, "Umm… Hi."
Rory told him, "Hello, Finn."
"I don't know why I am here, but I needed to see you and Logan. We are heading back to Boston tomorrow. I couldn't leave things the way that they went down."
"Finn, what were you thinking?"
"I wasn't. Logan was seeing you. Odette had moved into his flat. She was vulnerable. I was lonely. That started it all. I just got even more serious from there. Now I'm in the most serious relationship I have ever been in. Not to mention I am going to be a father. I mean look at her, she is not my usual type. She is not a red head and she is not a drunk."
"Finn, the whole Logan and Odette thing was a mess to begin with. They didn't love each other. The history that Logan and I have spans over a decade. We didn't go about things the right way, but I wouldn't trade anything. You didn't go about things the right way either."
"You are right. I shouldn't have brought her with me. I should have sat him down and talked to him like a man."
"You should have. Logan cares about you. He worries about you. Logan has taken on the fathering role to more than just Sophie."
The door opens and Logan says, "Honeys, I'm home!"
Rory went to meet him. She stopped him and said, "Finn is here, alone."
"Oh."
"You need to talk to him."
Sophie started wailing. "You talk to him and I'll get the girl."
"Nope. She needs her momma. You need to talk to Finn. Grow up, Huntzberger."
"Fine. You are right. Go make our girl happy. I want to see my happy girl."
"I love you."
"I love you."
They went their separate ways to take care of the things at hand.
Logan went into the living room. "Finn."
"Hey mate."
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to apologize for bringing Odette. That was inappropriate. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking."
"I'm worried about you. Odette is someone I don't trust. I don't want her to pull anything over on you. You are too nice for that."
"Logan…"
"No. She will do anything she can to get what she wants. I've been on the receiving end of threats and fake pregnancies."
"Logan, I love her. I've been to the doctor appointments if that is what you are worrying about. We are still doing a DNA test when the baby is born. She has changed. I'm not going to make you spend time with her. I just miss my brother. You are my best friend. Not to mention you are a dad. I have no idea what I am doing. You always seem to know what you are doing."
"I miss you, too. I just want you to be careful."
Rory came in and said, "Is it safe for us to come in? Are the guns away, boys?"
Logan said, "Bring me my girl. I've missed her today."
"Hey! What about your wife?"
Logan chuckled. "Of course, I missed you, too. Come here. Let me take the chunky monkey. It's daddy's turn for the cuddles and love that mommy has gotten all day. I want you, too."
Rory handed Sophie over to Logan and curled into his side. He kissed her head.
Finn said, "Gag. The two of you are sickening. I've never seen anything so cheesy as the two of you."
Logan rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't trade it for anything. Look at these adorable faces and tell me that it isn't worth it all. I'm living right."
"The kid is cute, I will give you that. She has to take after her mother. There is no way that she would be that cute if she had your mug."
"I would be upset if it wasn't the truth. She is definitely Ace made over, but she is going to have the Huntzberger blonde hair."
Rory said, "I'm glad to see the two of you talking. I miss the shenanigans the two of you used to get into."
"Now we have a new member of the Life and Death Brigade. We are going to be teaching this little one so much."
"Great. I'll have someone else to bail out of trouble. I don't know if my heart can take it."
Logan kissed her head. "That's what I love about you. You'll always have my back. I can't wait to spend the rest of forever with you."
"Oh! Guess what Sophie and I are going to go do tomorrow?"
"Enlighten me, Ace."
"Change my name."
"You are going to change your name? I thought you were going to stay a Gilmore."
"I thought about it, but I want to share a name with the people that I love."
"That's awesome, Rory." He leaned over to give her another kiss. They spent the next couple of hours reconnecting with Finn. Finn got to spend time with the newest Huntzberger and get in a little practice of his own before his own baby came.
