A.N. Just a little chapter. I was bored last night. I'm on the west coast so there was no Gilmore Girls last night (stupid Clippers and Lakers) so I decided to write. Thanks everyone who reviewed. Please continue to. You guys are so rad!

Chapter 14

Logan pulls up to the Huntzberger mansion. He rapidly gets out of his car and quickly walks to the front door. He frantically rings the doorbell. The maid opens the door.

"Mr. Huntzberger. We weren't expecting you tonight, were we?"

"No. Is my mother here?"

"Yes, she is."

The maid moves to let Logan in. Logan hastily searches for his mother. He calls out to her, "Mother."

Shira hears Logan and comes out of the library where she was and goes to Logan.

"Logan? What are you doing here?"

Logan walks up to his mother in panic.

"You need to talk to him."

"Talk to whom?"

"Father. He's insane."

"What's going on?"

"He hasn't told you about his outrageous plot?"

"Obviously not."

"In an attempt to break me and Rory up or to completely ruin my life, he's relocating me to California to help with the new paper. And he didn't forget to remind me that he has the power to ruin any chance in journalism for me and Rory."

"He threatened you?"

"What am I gonna do, mom? I can't leave Rory……I love her."

"You love her?" Shira asks pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah, I really do." Logan says softly.

"You know you're father."

"Yes."

"You know when he makes his mind up on something; it's extremely difficult to change it."

"I know."

"But I'll try."

"Thank you mom."

"I really like Rory. She is quite a gal."

"Yes, she is."

Shira caresses her son's cheek in a motherly manner, giving him the motherly touch he needs as if he were still a little child.

"She's good for you. You've grown so much. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you mother. You know, of all the family, I respect you the most. To put up with my father for all these years, takes courage and patience."

"Thank you. Your father is a good man, he just sees things differently then you. You two are very different…….I will try my best to convince him."

"Thank you."

Just then they hear Mitchum walk into the house calling Shira's name.

Mitchum appears to the view of Logan and Shira. "Logan."

"Father."

"Surprised to see you here."

"I needed to talk to mother. And now that I am done, I'll be leaving."

Logan starts to walk away but is stopped by the sound of Mitchum; keeping his back to him.

"Did you come crying to your mother about our trip?"

"Mitchum, what is wrong with you? Threatening your own son? Taking him away from a girl he really and truly cares about."

Logan keeps his back to them and stays silent, hoping his mother will get through to Mitchum.

"Rory is just a girl. There'll be others. He has the Huntzberger charm."

"He loves her."

"He does not."

Logan has had enough. He turns around, furious.

"How are you going to tell me how I feel! You don't know me or her!"

"She's just the first girl you've dated that can hold up her end of the conversation really well and isn't afraid to out wit you."

"You're right. She is the first girl to do that. She's also the first girl who cares more about her dreams and future rather than her hair or money! She is the first girl that I even considered to be exclusive with, yet alone picture myself with her 20 years from now! So don't tell me how I feel." Logan challenges his father.

"What is wrong with you! I didn't raise you to be disrespectful like this!"

"You right you didn't! In fact, you didn't raise me at all!" Logan calms down. "I've never spoken back to you. I had respected you father, because I thought you were a great man. You loved and respected your wife, your children, and you were a successful business man. But don't try to control my life just because Grandpa did yours."

"You leave that out of this. I am only trying to look out for you."

"No you're not!……….I'm not leaving."

"You will get on that plane in 2 weeks or so help me I will make sure that Rory will never, ever make her dreams come true, yet alone get a job anywhere near you! Do you understand me!"

Logan saw the intensity on Mitchum's face. He was scared. He wasn't scared of Mitchum per se. He was scared that he might actually do that to Rory.

"I said do you understand me?" Mitchum asks again.

"Yes." Logan says quietly. He's been defeated again.

"Now excuse me. I am tired." And with that Mitchum leaves.

Shira looks at her distressed son.

"Logan, I-"

"It's ok. You tried. Thanks anyway. I need to go. I need to figure out what and how I'm gonna tell Rory."

Logan sulks out of the house and to his car. He gets into the driver's seat and sighs and he leans his hand back. This is bad, very, very bad.
