The next morning, Rory met Logan at the doctor's office. "Sorry I was running a little late." said Logan. "I promise to get better at that."
"It's okay. You're here now." said Rory, flipping through a magazine. "The nurse said the doctor is running a little behind. So here we wait anyways."
Logan sits down next to Rory. "What do you think we'll find out today?" said Logan.
"It's more of a check-up honestly. Too early for an ultrasound really." said Rory, putting down the magazine temporarily. "Just getting test results I had done at the last doctor and hopefully seeing if everything is okay."
"Well besides your caffeine intake..." said Logan, watching Rory stare at him. "You are very healthy and we're both young."
"Rory, the doctor will see you." said the nurse, opening the door to the back and then leading the young couple to a small exam room. "I'm Beth and Dr Burke will be in soon." After taking Rory's vitals, she leaves, shutting the door behind her. Dr Burke walks in shortly after.
"Hey Ms Gilmore." said Dr Burke, reading the information in the patient's file. "It appears you are about two months along?"
"Yes that's right." said Rory, confirming the information. "At least that's what the doctor I saw a few weeks ago said...except he said six weeks then, but it's been two weeks." Rory finds herself babbling nervously and tries not to laugh as it reminds her of her mom.
"And this is?" said Dr Burke gesturing at Logan, as he takes a seat on a stool.
"This is Logan, my boyfriend." said Rory tentatively, "The baby's father. You can call me Rory though."
"Great. Everything looks fine. I would like to do an ultrasound." said Dr Burke. Spying the couple looking worried, "Just to check on things and we can take a picture for you to show off the little one. I'll have Beth bring in a gown and then we can get started." Dr Burke leaves and Beth drops off the gown. Rory quickly changes and the doctor is back in a few minutes. "So up on the bed and we can get started." instructed Dr Burke.
Rory hops up on the table, wondering how long she will be able to do this. She lays down as the doctor gets everything ready. After spreading the cold gel on her stomach, he starts the ultrasound. "So have you been having much morning sickness?" said Dr Burke working on getting a clear photo.
"Just a little." said Rory. "It's not been too bad."
"That's good to hear. Most patients complain badly of it." said Dr Burke. "Ah, here, here's your little one." Logan and Rory both look at the screen in awe. "I'll print a photo of it and you can pick it up up front before you leave. Congratulations you two." Dr Burke finishes up and leaves the room. Rory gets dressed and pick up the copy of the ultrasound on their way out.
"So it seems everything went well." said Logan. "I actually a few more hours free. Anything you want to do?"
"We could do brunch." said Rory. "We're in Hartford though, so you probably have a better idea of the best cafes or diners."
"I know just the place." said Logan, driving. He pulls up in front of a cute little cafe and they walk in. "They have the best food." He nods at the hostess and walks on to a table by the window. "My family knows the chef - we basically get a table at any time."
"That has to be fun." said Rory, sitting down and looking at the menu. "So what's good here?"
"They have good mini frittatas - like personal size." said Logan, looking up seeing a server walk up. "If you are feeling brave, I can order for the both of us.
"Sure, sounds good." said Rory, sitting the menu down and letting Logan place the order. He orders mini fritattas for them both along with bacon, fresh fruit, and croissants with an assortment of jams...along with coffee. As the server walks away, "All that sounds delicious."
"I wouldn't try to make you eat something you'd hate." said Logan. "But you are an adventurous eater and I love that about you."
A few minutes later, the coffee is dropped off at the table. Rory takes a sip. "Not as good as Luke's or Mom's, but it's good." she said, sitting the cup back down.
"To be fair, you are hard to impress with coffee." said Logan with a laugh. A little while later their breakfast is dropped off.
"So you haven't said." said Rory in between bites of food. "Did you tell either of your parents last night? You mentioned starting with Mitchum."
"Yeah, I did." said Logan taking a sip of coffee. "I think he was shocked considering, but I think he's happy to be a grandfather and is overlooking some of the rest. He even said he would tell Mom for me...which is a relief as she may freak out. Sorry my family sucks."
"Grandma freaked out herself, so not sure I can say much." said Rory, eating a chunk of fruit. "Just figure getting through the hard part of telling people is probably a good idea. I still got to tell the town..."
"I'm almost surprised they haven't been guessing at it." said Logan with a laugh. "I remember you telling me about how much gossip tends to get around. Think anyone will be weird about it?"
"Nah, just I'll be the biggest town gossip for awhile." said Rory, shrugging. "I should just tell Babette and Ms Patty and the whole town would know in about an hour." Logan laughs as they both go back to eating their food.
After they are done and Logan pays, they walk back out to Logan's car. Logan swings by the doctor's office so Rory can pick up her car. "As always, I hate leaving you. I so promise to be better at this in the future." said Logan, giving Rory a kiss.
"Well you will have more time to plan in the future. A lot of this was dropped on you suddenly." said Rory, understanding. "I'll let you know if I hear from Lavie."
"Please do." said Logan, getting back in his car. "I really hope we get the place." After a final round of goodbyes, he drives off as Rory gets into her car. She sits and looks at the picture of the ultrasounds before starting the car and heading back to Stars Hollow.
