Chapter 11

Logan was glued to his spot and his eyes were taking in the sight before him; Rory was pregnant, like very pregnant, and she had tried to call him a few months ago, but his phone was disconnected, his phone was disconnected because he moved back to the states, he hadn't told her he was moving back to the states nor did he give her his new number… I'm an idiot, she had called him to tell him that she was pregnant, this was his baby, Rory was pregnant with his baby, he was going to be a dad, Rory was going to be a mom, they were going to be parents . . . to a baby. . . he turned and looked at Ben and tried to move on with the meeting "Ben, this is Rory Gilmore, she and I have known each other for years, if she is in charge of this account I have no doubt that we are in good hands." He had so many things he wanted to say to her, but now was not the time nor was it the place to have the discussion that they needed to have.

Rory saw all of the emotions pass over his face, it was like reading a book; she knew he knew it was his baby, she could tell as soon as he had made the connection. She saw the switch in his face when he went back into business mode, she knew this wasn't the time or the place for this conversation but it was definitely one that they would have to have. "Yes Mr. Schuler, you are definitely in very good hands, I am very thorough and I will find you the best policy and premium for your paper. Logan, we will have to catch up over dinner tonight, so much has happened since I saw you last." She hoped that he understood the deeper purpose behind her dinner invite and the look on his face told her that he did.

"Dinner would be great, how does a the Four Aces Diner sound? I hear they have some amazing chili fries." He gave her a look and his lips formed that little smirk that he had perfected over the years.

"That sounds absolutely perfect; although my doctor told me to lay off the grease and high calorie foods so I may only eat a half order." She then turned to the Valley News Editor. "But, enough personal business, lets get started on that insurance policy huh?"

The three spent the next few hours together going over coverage for the paper and touring the spaces. She was hyper aware of Logan's presence; she forgot how much of an effect he had on her body and she realized how much she had really missed him the last six months. They had exchanged many glances throughout the day, and there seemed to be a charged air around them. So much needed to be said and she couldn't wait for their dinner date that night; should she call it a date? The butterflies were on overdrive and one of the babies had been pushing on her stomach all afternoon causing her to have a dreadful case of heartburn; she swore she had gone through at least a half a bottle of tums to no avail. Every time Logan had been near, the babies movement picked up, as if they could sense their daddy nearby; there were kicks and punches to all of her internal organs and it felt like they were doing gymnastics inside of there. By the time it was lunch time, she was starving; they walked outside and she saw the car waiting for the three of them and a familiar face holding the back door open. "Hey Frank! Long time no see, how's it going?" She smiled at him, not surprised that now that Logan was back in the states he was using his old driver.

"Ms. Gilmore, what a pleasant surprise!" Frank responded happily, then looked from her stomach to Logan and then back to her stomach. "I trust you are doing well? I see congratulations are in order, how far along are you?"

"Thank you Frank; I am almost 6 months, with twins!" She watched Logan out of the corner of her eye and saw his reaction to the news that she was not only pregnant, but that she was having twins. It was exactly what she had expected and she gave him props for not stumbling into the car. She also knew he was doing the math and realizing that she had gotten pregnant the night of their 'last goodbye'.

"Well congratulations, I am sure you will be an amazing mother." Frank knew better than to ask anything about the father, he could see by the look on his face that he was just as surprised as him about this whole situation.

Rory, Logan and Ben got into the car to head to lunch, it was a bit hard for Rory to get in and get comfortable with as big as she was getting and how low the car was, like he could read her mind, Logan offered her his hand to help her get in and situated. She felt the sparks run up her arm and straight into her heart; the same effect she had every single time their bodies touched. She looked up and met his eyes and tried to thank him but it just came out in a whisper.

He saw her struggling to get into the car, it was a bit low to the ground and her center of balance was obviously thrown off by her large belly; without thinking twice, he reached over to help her. He immediately felt the sparks and tingles through his entire body and he didn't want to let go. Then they locked eyes and she whispered a quiet but raspy thank you and he knew that she had felt it too.

On the car ride over to Yama, Ben just kept looking between the two of them. "So, just how well DO you two know each other?" He asked with a bit of a smile in his voice.
