Later Saturday evening, Rory sits on the bed leaning up against the headboard. "So enjoying your first night here?" said Rory, being flirty at Logan.
"Definitely." said Logan, lying on his side. "I don't think I'll ever get tired of this though."
Rory laughed. "Never?"
"That's right." said Logan. "I love you, I love Little Bean, and I love our home."
"Well if you can stand to miss me for five minutes, I'm going to go get a glass of water." said Rory.
Logan falls over on the bed in a mock death. "Noooo..."
"Get a hold of yourself, Huntzberger." said Rory laughing. "I'll be back."
Rory goes downstairs and gets a glass of water and gets one to bring back to Logan. She was glad she squeezed in a shopping trip the day before to Doose's or they would be starving in the morning - thankfully they had to mail the invites for the wedding as well. Walking back upstairs, she detoured a little into the bedroom nearest the master and looked at the empty space. Soon enough, they would need to decorate the nursery. But it would probably be better to wait until they knew the sex of the baby. She walks back to the master.
"You okay?" said Logan, who had started to get out of bed. "You've been gone awhile."
"Just thinking about the nursery." said Rory, handing Logan his glass of water. "And that we will soon enough be decorating it."
"Have any ideas already?" said Logan, taking a sipping of water and sitting back down on the bed. "I had figured we had time, but if you want to get started on it..."
"No, it's okay." said Rory, sitting her glass of water on her bedside table. "Just the thoughts of it and what it will be like when Little Bean is born."
"I know I'm excited to meet Little Bean...though hopefully by then we'll have thought of a name." said Logan, bending to kiss Rory's stomach. "Have any names in mind yet? For either sex?"
"Lorelai?" said Rory, laughing at Logan's face. "I'm kidding, there's been three Lorelai's now and it's time to move on to a new name. Honestly I was thinking Mia maybe if it's a girl?"
"Mia's a pretty name. Wait, didn't you go to a wedding for a woman named Mia about a decade-ish ago?" said Logan. "I remember flying down."
"Yeah." said Rory. "She was more like a mother to my mother and well she felt like a grandmother to me too. She was getting married to a man named Harold."
"Please don't tell me you're thinking Harold for a boy's name." said Logan, grimacing slightly.
"No." said Rory laughing. "Not sure if you want a Logan Jr?"
"No way." said Logan. "The kid being born into my family and no offense some of your family's craziness is enough for hi or her to bear. He deserves his own name at minimum. Would you want to use Richard?"
"I hadn't really considered it, but yeah that would be nice." said Rory thinking on it. "I know it would make my grandmother really happy and it would be a nice way to honor my grandfather."
"So it's settled. Mia for a girl and Richard for a boy." said Logan, putting his arm around Rory. "We can always worry about middle names once Little Bean decides to join us and make us the perfect family."
"Not on topic, but I was thinking about something earlier." said Rory. "Thanksgiving is on Thursday. How would you feel about holding it here? We do have the space and it would be a way to show off the house to people who are likely wanting to see it."
"I like that idea, Ace." said Logan, giving Rory a kiss. "Who's on the guest list?"
"Well Mom and Luke of course." said Rory. "I'll probably ask Grandma, but who knows what she'll want to do. Paris and Lane will do Christmas with their families. Maybe April? I believe Luke said she would be in town that weekend."
"Well my parents will likely be fighting over who gets to go to Martha's Vineyard this year." said Logan. "And the other will likely spend it with Honor. So really I can't think of anyone. I'd say Colin and Finn as they are likely closer to family than anyone else, but I know they can be a handful."
"Invite them." said Rory. "It would be nice to see them. You deserve to have guests too."
"I'll send them the text first thing in the morning." said Logan. "But remember you asked for any shenanigans they pull!"
"I'll take it." said Rory. "Plus they could always stay here. There's two guest rooms anyways. They could be the first to try them out."
"You're brave, Gilmore. Three members of the Life and Death Brigade here." said Logan. "Though I'll try to keep them on their best behavior. Maybe Emily will be able to make it. She has a death glare that might be able to stop them."
"So let's see, if Grandma can make it, we're at us two plus six. Luckily we have a table for eight." said Rory. "I think it'll be fun. Plus if we survive it, surely it'll show we will survive Little Bean."
"Good point." said Logan. "I have to admit I'm beat. I think I'm going to go to sleep."
"I like that idea." said Rory. "Just hope Little Bean doesn't have me up bright and early!"
"We can hope." said Logan, getting the light. "I love you."
"I love you too." said Rory, snuggling under the covers and falling asleep instantly.
