Rory's phone rings as Logan and Rory are on their way to Stars Hollow. Glancing at the caller ID, she sees that it reads 'Dad'. "I probably should take this." said Rory, answering the phone. "Hey Dad."
"So my kid's pregnant and she just emails her dad?" said Christopher, sounding pouty. "I thought it would be at least worthy of a phone call, don't you think?"
"You are usually just so busy and I figured an email was easier. Plus I haven't heard from you much lately." said Rory, sounding a bit defensive. Logan gives her a worried look and Rory decides to just put it on speakerphone. "Actually Logan's right here right now too. We're in a car though, so we may get static."
"Oh hey Logan." said Chris. He had liked Logan. "So you and my daughter, huh. At least tell me you two are back together."
"Hey Christopher." said Logan, still paying attention to the road.
"Yeah Dad, we are." said Rory, almost shocked her dad had read the text saying they broke up. "Buying a house and going to live together and everything."
"Well that sounds good at least." said Chris, sounding distracted. Rory shrugs as if this is how it always is. "Any other plans I should know about?"
"Not really." said Rory. "Besides I have a job starting Monday."
"That's great, sweetie." said Chris. Rory could overhear him talking with Gigi in the background and also could hear typing, realizing her dad was barely paying attention to the call at this point. She couldn't help but sigh. "Hey Ror, I should go. Add some time to my next call?"
"Yeah Dad, sure." said Rory, hanging up the phone. Noticing Logan giving her a look, "Sorry it's how he always is."
Logan decides to let it go. "So think your mom and Luke will like the pies we picked up?"
"Mom definitely." said Rory with a laugh. "Especially as I didn't tell her we were bringing dessert."
"More fun this way." said Logan, pulling up to Lorelai's. "I'll get the bags, you get the pies?"
"Can do, Huntzberger." said Rory, getting out of the car. "Though I still say we should have went with three instead of two."
Logan laughs as they walk up to the door. "We're already at half a pie per person." he said as Rory opened the door. "We should be good."
"Hey Mom." said Rory walking into the kitchen, gesturing at Logan to just put the bags in her room. "We brought pie."
"Hey you two." said Lorelai, looking up from a magazine. "Luke's putting the burgers on outside. He said it was a perfect night to grill." She shrugs. "What's in the boxes?"
"Pie!" said Rory, sitting them on the counter. "We figured a surprise dessert could be fun."
"I'll never turn down pie." said Lorelai. "I put up the trundle and laid out the guest towels." Rory gives her Mom a weird look. "You know the clean towels are the guest towels...who do you think raised you?" said Lorelai with a laugh.
Rory spots the ring on Lorelai's finger. "So what's that?" teased Rory sitting down at the table and gesturing for Logan to sit next to her.
"Oh Luke and I decided to get engaged." said Lorelai. "Sneaky finger, planned to break the news to you later."
"No reason to wait, I'm happy for you two." said Rory, leaning over and giving her mom a hug. As Luke walks in, "Hey Luke! Congrats."
"You already told them?" said Luke shocked. "Really?"
Lorelai points at her finger. "I blame the ring and my finger." she said smiling.
"Congratulations both of you." said Logan laughing.
"Thanks Logan." said Lorelai. She turns to Luke. "How's the food coming?"
Luke sighs at the situation, but gets over it. "It should only be a few more minutes." he said. "I just came in to grab the clean tongs. Hope you both are hungry as Lorelai requested far too many burgers for four people to eat."
"Starved." said Rory. "We brought pie for dessert."
"Sounds good." said Luke, heading back outside.
"I think I'll see if he needs any help." said Logan, standing and walking outside, figuring he should give Rory and Lorelai a little space.
"So you're really not upset?" asked Lorelai as Logan walks outside. "I debated calling you this morning to say, but..."
Rory interrupts. "Mom, it's fine. I'm team you and Luke, trust me." she said with a laugh. "Plus I'm not sixteen any more - you don't need to hide your guys. Plus you two were engaged before."
"I just want you to feel comfortable, especially after me and Chris." said Lorelai, talking a little quieter.
"Speaking of him, he called. I guess it took Dad days to check his emails and find out the news." said Rory, with a sigh. "He's pouty as always, but what's new."
"I'm sorry Kid." said Lorelai, standing and sitting out the salad from the fridge. "He can suck sometimes."
"Let's switch the topic back." said Rory, shrugging. "So you two set a date yet?"
"Nope, it was kind of a last minute thing last night. I came across the ring in the apartment and well we decided why not." said Lorelai. "There's still plenty of time." Lorelai thought for a moment. "Not to sound like my mom, but have you two talked about anything like this?"
"Not really, at least not so far. I think maybe I would want to." said Rory. "But considering I turned him down before, not sure how to address it."
"Knock knock." said Logan walking back in with Luke. "Dinner time!" He decides to pretend he didn't overhear what Rory just said, but it reminds him of a particular ring box that he always keeps finding in his coat pocket ever since she called to say she was pregnant. Now knowing how Rory felt, he started thinking up a plan.
