A/N- Thank you so much for all the reviews. Sorry it has taken me so long to update I just have had other things to do. My English teacher gave my class a project that we had to do. It's a long project and I'm not even half way through it yet. Anyway on with the chapter.

Chapter 5- The Long Trip Home:

Rory woke up early the next morning so that she and Logan could get back to New York. By the time she got up Logan was already in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Morning, Ace. How did you sleep?" Logan asked as she sat down at the table.

"I slept well. How did you sleep?" Rory asked as Logan brought her some coffee.

"I slept well too. Even though, I slept on a couch." Logan said as he went back to the stove.

"Why didn't you come into my room?" Rory asked as she looked at Logan who was bringing her eggs to the table.

"Rory, your mom was right upstairs." Logan said taking a bite of his eggs.

"I know but I don't think she would have cared." Rory said

About an hour later Rory was showered and ready to go. Logan was saying goodbye to Lorelai when Rory came out of her bedroom.

"Bye mom. I will call you tomorrow." Rory said giving her mom a hug.

"Ok kiddo, don't forget to say goodbye to Luke." Lorelai said as Rory and Logan left the house and made their way to his SUV. Rory waved to her mother as they left the driveway.

Rory and Logan walked into Luke's.

"Two coffee's please." Logan said as they sat down at the counter.

"Here you go." Luke said as he placed two cups of coffee to go on the counter.

"I wanted to say goodbye before we headed back to New York." Rory said as she went behind the counter to give Luke a hug.

"I'll see you soon Rory." Luke said as he returned the hug.

"Take care of my mom." Rory said as she waked out the door with Logan.

Rory and Logan got in the SUV and drove away.

About 15 minutes into their trip a phone started ring.

"It's mine." Logan said answering it. "Hello."
"Logan, its Finn." Logan heard on the other end of the phone.

"What's up buddy?" Logan asked.

"I'm in Paris." Finn said.

"Ok, so is that supposed to mean anything to me?" Logan asked while laughing.

"It is did you know dad was here?" Finn asked in a serious voice.

"No I didn't. Finn what are you trying to say?" Logan asked starting to get angry.

"Logan, your dad had a heart attack." Finn said.

"What. You have got to be kidding?" Logan asked.

"I wish I was man. Really I do. I'm sorry to be calling you like this." Finn said. "Logan you have to come to Paris right away."

"I will be there as soon as I can." Logan said and hung up.

"Honey, what's wrong. You look like you've seen a ghost." Rory said looking concerned.

"My father had a heart attack while he was in Paris." Logan said.

"Is he still in Paris?" Rory asked.

Logan nodded. "I have to go to Paris."

"I understand I will be here when you get back." Rory said with sympathy.

"No, come with me Rory." Logan said pulling into a parking lot.

"Oh, Logan I don't know…" Rory started to say but Logan cut her off.

"Rory I want you there. Please come with me." Logan started to smile when a tear came into his eye.

"Of course Logan I will come with you." Rory said as Logan leaned in for a kiss.

"Well we better get back so we can pack." Logan said as headed back to the interstate.

About an hour later they finally got to Rory's apartment building after a silent car ride.

"I will pick you up in an hour Ace." Logan said as Rory got out of the SUV.

"Ok. Logan, are you going to be ok?" Rory asked with concern.

"Yeah, Ace I'll be fine. See you in hour." Logan as he pulled away from the curb.

Rory walked into her apartment expecting to see Paris sitting on the couch waiting for her but she wasn't. Rory walked over to island that sat in the middle of kitchen to find a note from Paris.

Rory-

I heard about Logan's dad from Finn. He called here looking for him. I expect you might be going with Logan try to have a good time in the city of lights and romance. See you when you get. I called work for you to tell them that you wouldn't be there for next couple days. I went to Doyle's. Bye.

-Paris.

Rory ran to her bedroom to start packing she was almost done when there was a knock at the door. Rory went to answer it.

"You ready Ace? The car is downstairs." Logan asked as he came in.

"Almost just need to pack my books." Rory said as she went back into her room and came out within less than 5 minutes.

"Ready." Logan asked as he took her bags.

"Just want to write a quick note to Paris." Rory said as she got a piece of paper and a pen from the draw and started to write.

Paris-

I got you note. Thank you for calling work for me. I'm going with Logan I don't know when we will be back. I will call you soon. If my mom calls just tell that I went to Paris and I will explain everything when I get back. Hope you had fun at Doyle's.

-Rory.

"Now I'm ready." Rory said as she grabbed her jacket and headed out the door with Logan.

Frank took the bags from Logan and put them in the trunk of the Limo. Rory and Logan got in and Frank shut the door and got into the drivers side and started to drive. The ride to the airport was a quite one. Logan had his down. Rory was reading. Logan was wearing a suit because he had once told Rory that when ever he goes to see his father he always wears a suit so Rory thought it would be fitting to wear the dress that Logan bought her on her first outing with the Life and Death Brigade. About an hour later they arrived at the airport. Logan had called ahead to have his private airplane meet them there. Frank opened the door and Logan helped Rory out of the limo. Frank went to the trunk and got out their luggage and gave it to the pilot who put it on the plane. As Rory and Logan boarded Logan took out his cell phone to call Finn.

"Hi it's Logan." Logan said.

"Hey how are you?" Finn asked.

"Ok, considering. I just wanted to tell you that we are leaving now." Logan said.

"Who is we?" Finn asked.

"Well, it's Rory Gilmore and I." Logan said.

"Oh. Ok I will see you when you get here." Finn said.

"Finn wait. How is he?" Logan asked.

"He doing a little bit better. They just brought him into surgery." Finn said.

"Ok. Is my mom there with you?" Logan asked.

"Yes she is." Finn said.

"Finn, can I ask you something?" Logan asked.

"Anything Man." Finn said.

"Will you keep her company until I get there?" Logan asked.

"You know I will man. Just get here as soon as you can." Finn said.

"I will. Bye Finn." Logan said.

"Bye Logan." Finn as he hung up.

Logan put his cell phone away and just held Rory in his arms until they landed in Paris.

When the plane landed, Logan and Rory walked hand-in-hand to limo that was waiting for them. The pilot and the limo driver put the bags into the trunk. The limo driver opened that door for Logan and Rory; they got in and he closed the door and headed for drivers door and started in pursuit to the hospital.

"Hey Man." Finn said.

"Finn, what are you doing here?" Logan asked.

"Your mom wanted me to come pick you up." Finn said. "Rory it's good to see you again."

"It's good to see you too." Rory said.

"Finn, how is he?" Logan asked.

"Don't know when I left he was still in surgery." Finn said.

They finally got to the hospital after limo ride. The driver came around and opened the three of them.

"Sir, I will bring your luggage to the hotel. Here is my card call me when you need a ride." The limo driver said.

"Thank you." Logan said as he shook the driver's hand.

Rory, Logan, and Finn walked into the hospital. Logan buttoned his suit jacket and then took Rory's hand as the three of them got into the elevator to go see Logan's father.

"Mom how is he?" Logan asked as he got out of the elevator.

"He seems better. He just got out surgery. How was your flight?" Mrs. Huntzberger asked.

"It was long. Mom, this is Rory my girlfriend." Logan said with a smile on his face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Huntzberger. Logan has told me a lot about you." Rory said extending her hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too Rory. So Logan this is the Ace that you have been talking so much about." Mrs. Huntzberger said.

"Yes mom, this is Ace." Logan said.

Logan hadn't smiled since Finn phone call early that day it did feel good to finally see him smile. Rory thought as Finn came back from talking to the doctors.

"Logan, your dad wants to see you." Finn said sitting down next to Rory.

"Ok, I will be right back sweetie." Logan said.

"Ok, take your time." Rory said striking up a conversation with Mrs. Huntzberger.

Logan opened the door to his father's hospital room.

"Logan, is that you?" Mitchum Huntzberger asked.

"Yes, dad it's me." Logan said sitting down in the chair next to his father's bed.

"Logan I asked Finn to ask your mom to bring something with her when she came. Mitchum said as he took something that looked like a box out of the night table draw that was next to the bed. "This belonged to your grandmother, she told me before she died that she wanted you to have it, so now I'm giving it to you. Give it to the girl that you love Logan and make it last for ever."

"But dad you're not dieing." Logan said.

"We don't know that for sure, Logan." Mitchum said.

"Ok, dad I know the perfect girl." Logan said.

"Is she with you now?" Mitchum asked.

"Yes she is." Logan said.

"Than go make your love last forever. Don't lose this girl Logan I can tell by the way you talk about her that you love her." Mitchum said.

"Oh I do dad I really do." Logan said as he got up to leave.

"Oh and Logan I love you." Mitchum said.

"I love you too, dad." Logan said and left.

He's looking good." Logan said as he walked back over to where everyone was sitting.

"Oh good I'm glad." Rory said.

"Rory, can I talk to you for a minute please?" Logan asked.

"Sure." Rory said as she got up and took Logan's hand.

They walked over to the corner.

"Rory, I love you so much and my I don't want to spend another moment without you. My grandmother gave this ring to my dad before she died and told him that she wanted me to have it and to give it to the girl that I love and my dad just gave it to me. I would be honored if you would wear it and cherish it forever as much as I cherish you. Rory, will you marry me?" Logan asked getting down on one knee and opening the box that held a diamond ring.

"Logan I…
