What Happened With Mitchum

Logan sighs and picks up his phone, dialing his dad's cell phone number. He wonders how much he will regret this call as the phone rings.

"Why hello Logan." said Mitchum, sounding a little tired. "What ever do I owe the honor of a call from my son?"

"Hello Dad." said Logan, deciding to let the last part of it go. "How are you feeling?"

"I am pretty good, just finding myself more tired lately. I talked to Richard Gilmore about his last heart attack and he mentioned it was normal." said Mitchum, sitting down in a chair. "I find myself sitting more and being less at it. How's the business going?"

"It's all going fine...just as it was." said Logan. "I'm calling as I have some news...well several pieces of news, but they are all related." He finds himself wondering exactly where to start while he waits for his dad to respond.

"Oh. Good news or bad news?" said Mitchum, finding himself getting curious. Logan usually didn't give him much privy into his life, so he wasn't sure what Logan was going to say.

"To start with, I'm back with Rory." said Logan, slowly. He knew about all the differences Mitchum and Rory had had and hoped all that had been settled after his last birthday. Rory had mentioned the talk her and Mitchum had had.

"I kind of figured when David told me she was taking over for Janet on Monday." said Mitchum, with a laugh. "My mind still works as good as it used to. It didn't slow down. Though I thought you two broke up after you proposed?"

"How did you know about the proposal?" asked Logan.

"Social circles. You didn't think I'd find out through the Gilmore's?" said Mitchum. "Though technically your mom did find out before me." He leaves out Shira was relieved. He didn't quite understand why Shira cared considering she hadn't been rich when he married her and she had been the one to press him to "break" Rory - and he had been happy when she stayed with Logan and returned to Yale and made editor.

"Ah, that is a good point." said Logan. "Yes she did turn me down, but some circumstances changed. She's pregnant and it's my child. She didn't push me into anything before you start and I want to be a part of the child's life. And we're making a go of it again as well."

Mitchum for once was stunned and almost speechless. "I'm going to be a grandfather?"

"Yes, in about seven months." said Logan, happy the news seemed to have stunned his dad. "I'm going to a doctor appointment with her tomorrow and everything."

"That sounds very responsible." said Mitchum, starting to get his words back. "So you two are going to get married I assume?"

Logan sighs. "Possibly. I don't know yet and well it's more up to Rory than me. Whatever will make her happy I will happily live with to have her back." said Logan, thinking his teenage self might would kick him for how sappy he sounds. "We also put an offer in on a house."

"So even more big news!" said Mitchum, shocked a little again. "So what part of Hartford are you going to be living in? I assume somewhere around us and the Gilmore's?"

"Actually no. It's a house in Stars Hollow." said Logan, unsure how his dad would take this news. It was going to be the final drop. "I like the town, she loves the town, and it's not too far from work."

"You sure you want to live in a small town, Logan? It's going to be way different than your childhood...and I would assume no maids work out there." said Mitchum, a little disappointed in his son's choice. "Plus the houses would have to be small."

"I actually think I do." said Logan, doing his best stern voice. "We don't need a mansion and honestly I never loved it. We will be close to her mom as well if we get the house."

"Nothing wrong with having two places." said Mitchum, already having some wheels turning in his head. "Something to think about."

Logan decides to ignore it. "Well I should call Mom and let her know." said Logan. "I know she will go ballistic, but..."

"I will tell her." said Mitchum, quickly and interrupting in. "She's out getting some kind of new facial."

"Sounds like Mom...and okay." said Logan, not quite able to hide the relief in his voice. "Honor already knows and don't be mad at her for knowing. She figured I should be the one to tell you."

"When hasn't Honor found out anything about you before us?" said Mitchum, more amused than anything. "Talk to you later, Logan." He hangs up and just looks at his phone, processing everything.

On the other end, Logan just stares at his phone. While he was happy his dad took the news peacefully and was glad he was getting out of telling his mother, he knew that his family would likely be an annoyance as they always were. Shaking his head, he gathered his thoughts and thought about tomorrow and hoping everything would go well at the doctor's appointment.
