Disclaimer: Still don't own them

A/N: Sorry I didn't update last night, I took my kids rock climbing and we didn't get home until late, and this chapter just didn't want to come out. I hit the groove towards the end and I already have the next chapter outlined, you may get lucky and get two updates tonight!

But anyways, thanks for all the reviews, please keep them coming! :D Here is chapter 15

Chapter 15

Logan looked at her, slightly confused at the connection she had made inside her head, but even more, he was surprised she hadn't told her dad she was pregnant. "What do you mean you haven't told your dad? Haven't you known for over 3 months?" He couldn't help but laugh; her shocked face and the realization that something so obvious had slipped her mind.

"I mean, we never really talked a lot and now that I am an adult we talk even less; I have just been so busy and there has been so many changes, I guess it just slipped my mind." She couldn't believe she hadn't told her dad she was pregnant! Who doesn't tell their father that they are going to be a Grandpa?! "What am I supposed to say now when I tell him? 'Oh, hey dad, I am pregnant. I have known for like 3 months and I just forgot to tell you' he is going to be so hurt. I feel terrible."

"It will be fine, we will tell him together. You will just tell him the truth, you have been stressed out and going through a lot of changes and you just forgot to tell him." He reached out and grabbed her face, running his thumb along her jaw line. "He will understand, and he will appreciate you being honest with him."

"Yea, you are right. I will just have to tell him sooner rather than later, and definitely in person." She was so thankful she had Logan here with her again; he had always been the person that could talk her off a ledge and out of a spiral when her mind started spinning. It still felt so surreal that the two of them were sitting here together as a couple and only a few months away from having twins. The last six months were such a blur and she finally felt like her life was back in focus.

The two of them spent the rest of the weekend together talking about everything and anything. They had many deep conversations about their feelings and their desires to make this work; they made more progress in three days than they had in ten years and both of them were beyond happy. No decisions had been made yet about where they were going to live or when they were going to get married, but they knew that none of that would be able to be decided without Shira and Emily's input. Logan took her back to the inn to get all of her stuff on Saturday, it had been weird being back there with him, but being there together gave both of them closure on the past; walking out together was like closing the door on the ugly and messy preceding years and opening a door on a new chapter in their lives, a happy chapter.

Sunday came way too soon; neither of them wanted to say goodbye but she had to get on the road right after lunch. With it being so late in the year, it got dark around 4:00 and she hated driving at night, especially with New England traffic. They stood there in an embrace that neither wanted to let go of. "I don't want to go, I don't want to leave you, but I have to. I have to work in the morning and there is a lot of stuff we have to figure out." She looked up into his eyes and felt the world stop and fade away; she was here in Logan's arms again, as his partner, and it just felt perfect.

"I know, I don't want you to go either, but I promise I will come down later this week. I am going to call my parents and tell them about all of the new developments from this weekend, and we will figure this all out. Are you okay with a wedding very soon? I know it is old fashioned, but I really want to be married when we have the babies." He knew this was all moving really fast, they had just gotten back together 3 days ago, but this was 14 years in the making, he knew the moment he told her in college that he could do the girlfriend/boyfriend relationship thing that she was the one for him. There is no one else like her and he doesn't want to spend any longer than he has to without her being his wife.

"I am surprised that I am saying this, but yes, I am okay with a wedding sooner rather than later. I want to be married to you Logan, I want us to be a family, I want that stability for our children growing up. I will talk to grandma on the way home, get her opinion on everything; the timing isn't great, but at least we can say I got pregnant after you and Odette called it off since the timing is almost perfect for us to have run into one another right after you broke it off. We could probably even say that we have been seeing each other quietly due to the timing…I don't know, Grandma and Shira are better at this type of thing than I am."

Logan looked at her just simply amazed at the changes that had happened in just six months, he never thought he would have heard Rory worrying about how to present their situation to society, about trying to work together with his mother and Emily. If this would have happened while they were in college, neither one of them would have really cared about what his parents or her grandparents had to say, they would have just done whatever they wanted, now they were both older and more mature they understood the necessity of playing by society rules. "I love you so much." He leaned down and kissed her. "I will see you in a few days and I will call you tonight after I talk with my parents. Text me and let me know when you get home safe."

Rory begrudgingly got into her SUV and headed home. She had three hours, if you take traffic into account, to think while heading home; instead, she called Emily. Emily answered after the third ring, already well aware that Rory was going to tell her that she ran into Logan while in New Hampshire, but completely unaware of how well her and Shira's plan worked. "Hey grandma, I have so much to talk to you about, starting with I ran into Logan this weekend and ending with we want to get married and I need your help. We can catch up with everything in between when I get home, but we need to start planning now, and thinking about how his parents are going to react and whether or not they are going to be on board." She knew with her grandmother it was best to just get right to the point, and the next three hours she had nothing else to do other than focus on this topic.

Emily dropped the phone in shock. While she knew that the two of them running into one another would have set things in motion, her and Shira had thought for sure it would take some convincing to get them to agree to a quick marriage. She also knew that because it had went so well and Rory was having doubts about his family, she had to come clean about her meddling. She picked up the phone and with a smile on her face she replied. "Oh Rory dear, that is wonderful news! I can certainly help you there, I have been thinking about it ever since you told me that you were pregnant; also, I can assure you that Shira and Mitchum are completely on board with they two of you getting married as well, and not begrudgingly, they think the two of you are the perfect match and are excited to see they two of you finally together."

Rory interrupted her. "How do you know that Grandma? What did you do?" She was starting to think that her running into Logan this weekend was no cosmic coincidence, although she couldn't find it in her to be mad at her grandmother for her meddling, Rory knew if her grandmother had not done something to push them together, she would have just kept putting it off and after the way the weekend went, how could she possibly be mad?

"Please don't be mad Rory, but I just couldn't stand to see you so sad and I knew you wanted to talk to him but was too scared to seek him out, so Shira and I made the meeting this weekend happen. All we did was arrange for the two of you to run into each other though, Logan had no idea, so anything that happened after the meeting was all you two and we had no hand in any of it, I promise." Emily wanted to be clear that while she had meddled, that it was very minimal and shouldn't diminish anything that happened between the two of them that weekend.

"I'm not mad grandma. I am too happy to be mad; but we do have a lot to talk about. Logan and I want to get married soon, but we don't know what the best way to go about it is, that is where you and Shira come in." Rory had wondered if it was pure happenstance that the two of them had run into one another, she now knew it was not; however, the fact that Shira and Mitchum had been on board with the plan spoke volumes to her.

Rory and Emily spent the remainder of her drive home discussing the situation and making plans for a quick but quiet wedding. She wasn't sure if she was going to invite her mom or not, it twinged inside her heart to think of being married without her mother being there, but she also knew her mom wasn't going to agree and if she was just going to be negative toward the whole situation then she didn't want her there. "Do you think we should invite mom? I mean I just don't know what to do, I want her there but I also don't want her to ruin it you know?" she asked Emily toward the end of their conversation, she knew it was random and had nothing to do with what they had just been talking about, but it had been weighing on her mind.

"I think if you are asking the question, that should be your answer." Emily sighed, "I think that you should send her an invitation, whether or not she comes is up to her." Emily was pretty sure that this would happen the same way that Rory's 21st birthday party had went, Lorelai would get the invitation, assume that with how it looked it couldn't possibly be from Rory and instead was just Emily's doing, and she would ignore it; only this time, Emily was not going to intervene to stop her daughter from making a huge mistake. She had tried for years with Lorelai, tried to repair their relationship, tried to be a part of her life, but her daughter was just intent on keeping her out and now she was doing the same thing to Rory; it broke Emily's heart, but she had resigned herself to the fact that there was really nothing she could do about it.

"I think I will do that; also, I realized this weekend that I haven't told my dad any of this! Can you believe that?!" Rory was glad that she had this relationship with her grandmother and she knew that Emily would help her figure everything out.

"I can believe it dear, you have been under an immense amount of stress since you found out you were pregnant, that added to what they call 'pregnancy brain', I am not surprised at all that it slipped your mind." Emily paused for a second, not sure how the next part of this conversation would go, "but he does know. I didn't realize you had not told him and I called him about a few weeks ago to ask him his opinion on something I am putting together for you and the babies. He was surprised, but he was understanding, I explained to him the whole situation and how upset and stressed you are; he is just waiting for your call, and I am sorry but he made me promise not to say anything to you, he didn't want to make you feel bad and he wanted you to tell him because you thought of him, not because someone else told you to think about him. You know how much guilt that man carries around for the way he was always absent when you were growing up."

"Grandma, you are amazing. I don't know what I would do without you; I can't thank you enough for everything you have done over the last few months. I just love you so much" Out of nowhere she just started crying. She pulled over at the next service plaza and parked in front of the Dunkin Donuts and her mind just kept spinning and she just kept crying, "Grandma, everything was so scary for the last 6 months, nothing made sense and I wasn't sure what was going to happen; then I got into that huge fight with my mom and most of me is bothered by it but a part of me just doesn't care, wants to just say 'whatever, if you don't want to support me, if you want to berate me for my choices, then just see your way out of my life!' who does that, who just cuts their child off like that, I haven't heard from her in months! I haven't told her I am having twins, she doesn't know I am having a boy and a girl, she doesn't know that Logan and I are back together, not that she would approve, but she should have been the first person I called; instead the thought never crossed my mind because I just knew she would steal my happiness. And I just think about how bad she has treated you pretty much her entire life and it just breaks my heart for you because that is no way to treat someone's mother; and now I feel like it has come full circle, she cut you off of her life because she wanted to run away from society and she took me with her; now I want to be a part of society and she is cutting me off as well! What is so wrong with that world Grandma? Why does she hate it so much that she will cut ties with her own family, both her parents and her child because they are a part of it? And those things she said after Grandpa's funeral! How could she do that, he was always there for her no matter how bad she treated you two; he was there, there to give her money to pay for both Chilton and Yale, there when she needed to get a loan for the Dragonfly Inn and wasn't able to on her own; always there, and then she just trashes him at his own memorial, brings up some filthy story about him catching her with some guy when she was a teenager. Who does that? I just have so much anger built up inside me, and so much sadness; but at the same time I am overjoyed that Logan and I are finally back together, the way we should be, the way we should have been all these years. I am so mad at myself that I just wasted the last 11 years, all that time we could have been together, starting a family, having the big wedding that we all know we should have had; instead, we are having a small quick wedding because I got pregnant while he was engaged to someone else. And why am I so emotional? Why am I crying so much? Is it really true about the hormones when you're pregnant? This is insane!" Rory finally got ahold of herself and wiped away the tears. To Emily's credit, she had listened to the entire rant without interrupting her once. "Grandma are you still there?"

"I am; are you done now? Do you feel better?" Emily remembered the feeling that Rory was having quite well; it had happened to her quite often when she was pregnant with Lorelai. "And yes, that is the pregnancy hormones, it happens to the best of us; but it is good to get it out and have a nice cry."

"Thank you for listening Grandma." Just then she heard a beep, indicating that she was getting another call, she looked down at her phone, "hey Grandma, can I call you back? Logan is calling me."

"Of course dear, call me when you get home and drive safe. I love you." Emily was amazed once again by her granddaughter; and really very excited to start the plans into motion that she and Shira had already started making.

Rory switched over to Logan's call "Hey babe, what's up?" She had told him she would call him when she got home, but if he was calling her she assumed it was probably to talk about his conversation with his mother.

"Hey Ace, so I just got off the phone with my mother. She surprisingly is very supportive and has agreed that we need to get married as soon as possible. She said she will get with Emily to make the arrangements and she wants to have dinner with us at your house in Hartford on Friday night. She wants to see the nursery and she also wants to take you shopping with Emily on Saturday so you all can pick out your wedding dress." He had been shocked when his mother had reacted with joy instead of anger, but he was just going to go with it, no sense creating conflict where there wasn't any. "Are you okay with all that? I didn't want to give her an answer until I talked to you."

"That sounds great Logan. What is your mom's favorite dish? I will have the cook make that on Friday; and I will coordinate with her through my grandmother for shopping on Saturday; although I don't know what kind of wedding dress will look good when I am like 7 months pregnant with twins!" Part of her wished they could just go to city hall and get married, but the rest of her knew that she wanted to make this memory with him, she wanted to walk down the aisle with him waiting at the end and pledge in front of everyone that is important to them that they will love one another until death do them part, in fact if there was some way to pledge to one another even after death, she would gladly do that instead. He is the love of her life and she knew she would never find anyone that makes her as happy as he does; and here came the water works again. She was really starting to hate hormones of pregnancy; 'okay back to the original topic' she mentally told herself, "BUT if anyone could find the perfect designer maternity wedding dress, it would be your mother and my grandmother, huh?"

"Rory, you will look beautiful no matter what you wear, and I have no doubt that Emily and my mother will not stop until they find you the perfect dress. I will head down Thursday night and stay with you at your house, if that is okay with you, things are going well here at the paper so it shouldn't be and issue for me to take a long weekend."

"You're too sweet and so perfect, Thursday night sounds great, I usually get off work around 5:30 and am home around 6:00 or 6:15, depending on traffic. What do you want for dinner? I will make sure Lorane, that is my cooks name and I feel weird continuously calling her 'my cook', has everything she needs for it and we will eat at 7:00 if that works for you." She still wasn't completely used to the fact that she had a cook and two maids and lived in a mansion in Hartford, but it sure was nice and much more convenient to just tell Lorane what she wanted for dinner throughout the week and it was always there and ready at 7:00 on the dot, every single night.

"I'm not picky, and I know you get cravings with pregnancy, so whatever you want will be good with me, I promise. I will see you Thursday when you get home, please be sure to let the maids know I am coming so they will let me into the house if I make it there before you get home." Little did she know, he was definitely planning on getting there several hours before she got home, he wanted everything to be perfect the moment she walked through the door.

"I love you Logan, and I will definitely let the maids know you will be arriving on Thursday and to let you in. Now I have to get off of here and call my grandma back so that we can make plans for Saturday. I will let you know when I get home okay?" With that the two of them ended the call and she pulled back onto the parkway and enjoyed the final hour of her drive in silence, she would call her grandmother later, right now she just needed to think.
