It was Thursday night and Rory was tired. She'd had a week from hell and she had yet to go to Logan's to drop her portfolio. Originally she was going to drop it at his office but that afternoon his secretary had called her and told her that Logan had had to leave the office and he wanted to receive her portfolio in person. For some reason she was apprehensive to the idea of giving Logan her portfolio. She knew he wasn't doing charity with her, he knew better than that. She also knew she needed a change, 'The Point' had been a good start but she wanted to move on. Still something bothered her. She shook those thoughts off her head and realized she was the only one left at the office. She gathered all her stuff, grabbed her things and headed to the elevator. Once she was in the street she took a cab, there was no chance she was going to walk or take the metro that night. Fifteen minutes later the cab pulled off at luxurious building in front of central park. She paid the driver and got off. She announced herself to the doorman and then he led her to the elevator. She got off the elevator at the penthouse. She rang the doorbell. The door was open by an elderly lady.

"Hi" Rory said.

"Good night, you must be miss Gilmore I've heard a lot about you lately. I'm Sarah's nanny Mrs. Thompson but you can call me Nanny like everybody else here. Please come inside" Rory entered the penthouse and followed Nanny to the sitting room. "Please take a seat. Mr. Huntzberger is going to be here any minute; he's with Sarah now. Would you like a cup of coffee?"

Rory thought for a second the offer sounded tempting but that would only delay her. "No but thanks anyway."

"Well I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything" With that Nanny left. So this is the famous miss Gilmore that Sarah's been talking about the whole week. Nanny thought as she went to the kitchen. She seems sweet and good-natured. I just hope Sarah doesn't make any illusions.

Rory sat back on the leather couch and closed her eyes. She stayed that way until she heard the doorbell, then Nanny's voice and finally a male voice. Actually, a familiar male voice.

"Rory?" The voice said as it approached her.

She stood up to face the newcomer. "Hi Colin" She said waving her hand.

"Come here Gilmore" and with that he hugged Rory. She remembered how back when she and Logan were together, Colin and Finn used to hug her just because it drove Logan mad.

"So how you've been? What you've been up to? Wait a second, what are you doing here? I didn't know you lived in New York" Colin said releasing her from the hug. They both sat down.

"Not much. I've been working at 'The Point' for quite a while. I'm here to drop something for Logan. I didn't know you lived in New York either." She said " So what about you? Are you still with Steph or did she finally kicked you out of her life?" She remembered back in college Colin and Steph spent most of their time together fighting. However she knew that was like foreplay for them, they loved each other like crazy.

"I'm working at Lester, Carlton and Jacobs. They really exploit me there but I really like being a lawyer. Steph did kick me out of her life but luckily I found my way back. We are living together now and getting married in a couple of months. You know? I didn't know you and Logan kept in touch."

"We didn't. I ran into him last week when he was picking up Sarah from school."

Rory was interrupted by Sarah. " Rory!" She yelled while running towards her. Sarah's blond hair was wet and she was wearing pink pajamas with pink bunny slippers. Then she jumped onto the couch Rory was sitting on and sat by her side.

"Hi Sarah" Rory said placing a kiss on the kid's head.

"Sarah, what did I tell you about running in the house?" Logan said walking into the sitting room. He was on his working clothes but the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up Rory assumed he had been giving Sarah a bath. "Hi Rory." He then saw Colin. "Hey man. Sarah did you said hi to uncle Colin?"

"Hi uncle Colin" Sarah said from the couch.

"What I don't get a kiss?" Colin asked.

Reluctantly Sarah walked over to where Colin was sitting and gave him kiss on the cheek. Then she quickly made her way back to Rory's side.

"So what about the third Amigo?" Rory asked putting one arm over Sarah's shoulder. Sarah snuggled on Rory's chest.

"Finn?" Logan said sitting next to Colin after noticing the image of Rory and his daughter. "He's living in New York too. He opened a toy company and he's doing pretty well."

"Wait a minute, Finn makes toys?" Rory asked in disbelief even though she thought there wasn't a more appropriate job for Finn.

"Yes. Sarah here is his best advisor, right little mermaid?" Logan asked.

Sarah nodded and looked at Rory "Uncle Finn makes the best toys ever, he lets me try them first and then I have to tell him if I like them or not."

"Wow that must be great." Rory said to Sarah, then she said to the guys. " I take it he's still the eternal bachelor"

"No, not at all." Colin said " He's been married for over a year now. His wife is actually three months pregnant."

"Really? Hmm, who would have guessed?" Rory said. She was indeed surprised with that information.

"Hey, do you still keep in touch with Paris?" Logan asked. Rory nodded and he continued, " What's up with her?"

"She's fine. She's doing her specialization in pediatrics. I know it sounds weird but she has softened a little. I mean she still terrifies the parents but she's good with the kids. She lives in Hartford with her boyfriend."

"Is she still with Doyle?" Logan asked rather amused, remembering the things he used to do just to annoy Doyle.

"No, she dumped him a couple of years ago, he was truly devastated. Her boyfriend is a doctor."

Colin suddenly remembered something. "Hey, the other day I heard Lane's band on the radio. They are pretty big now."

"Really? I didn't know that" Logan said surprised, when the other two looked at him with an I-can't-believe-you-just-said-that kind of look. "Hey, I'm sorry but in this house the only music allowed is The Muppets, Sesame Street and maybe, just maybe Disney's soundtracks. Isn't that right Siren-Sarah?"

"You are forgetting about Barney, daddy," They all laughed and Sarah shrugged.

At that point Nanny entered the room and exchanged looks with Logan.

"Okay Siren-Sarah, time to go to bed. Say goodnight to Rory and uncle Colin."

Sarah pouted, she wanted to stay with Rory, but despite her young age, she knew that night wasn't a good one to challenge her father. She hugged Rory and kissed her on the cheek. "Goodnight Rory"

"Goodnight Sarah, sweet dreams."

Sarah walked over to Colin and repeated the same routine with him. When she passed by Logan's side, he picked her up and sat her on his lap. "Goodnight sweetie" He placed a kiss on her head.

"Good night Daddy, sweet dreams"

"How sweet?" He said.

"Mmmmm, vanilla-ice-cream-with-chocolate-fudge-and-M&Ms sweet." She answered.

"Sounds good, sweet dreams to you too." He said waiting for Sarah's response.

"How sweet?" Sarah asked.

"Sarah-sweet". He answered. Sarah then hugged him and kissed him. Rory had to refrain from melting herself after witnessing what she assumed it was their bedtime routine.

"I love you daddy."

"Love you too sweetie" He put her down.

"Come on darling, let's get you to bed" Nanny said grabbing Sarah's hand. Then they started to walk towards her room.

"Remember, no TV tonight, you're still grounded. I'll go check on you later." Logan added before the Sarah and Nanny disappear into the interior of the penthouse.

Once Sarah was gone Colin asked "What did she do this time?"

"She tried to escape from school to give cookies to the homeless."

"You can't punish her for being socially conscious." Colin said.

Logan sighed; when it came to Sarah's mischief he always was the bad guy. "I'm not. I'm punishing her for the escaping school part." Then to Rory " So… did you bring it?"

"Yes mister" she said taking out he portfolio from her bag and handing it to him. "Here you are".

"Good" He said taking it. When he saw she was standing up he added, " Hey do you want to stay for a cup of coffee?"

"No thanks, I should get going I have a long day tomorrow. " She gathered her stuff and as the two men stood up Rory realized she had forgotten they were gentleman to every extent of the word. "You don't have to walk me to the door. Bye Colin it was nice seeing you. Bye Logan, thanks for everything" she said before disappearing.

Once Rory had left Colin stared at Logan with an amused looked.

"What?" Logan asked.

"Nothing it's just….Rory?"

"Don't even start. We ran into each other a couple of days a go. I'm just helping a friend here."

"Ok, so the fact that she and Sarah totally click has gone unnoticed to you? Please Logan"

" So what brings you here?" Logan said in an attempt to change the subject. Luckily for him, it worked.


Friday morning passed fairly quickly and Rory was now having lunch in the break room with some of her co-workers, including Greg, whom she had been casually dating. They were discussing colleges and private schools as a result of Rory's article.

"You can't talk, you're totally biased" Someone said to Rory who was eating her salad.

"Hey, that's not true I went to both private and public schools" she was interrupted by her cell phone "Excuse me" she said opening it and putting it to her ear. "Hello"

"Hello Miss Gilmore" She heard from the other side of the line. "How are you today?"

"I'm very well Mr. Huntzberger, yourself?" She asked with a smile, not noticing that all the people in the break room went silent by the sound of Logan's name and were now listening to her conversation.

"I'm fine too, he said. Well, I have news for you. I've showed your stuff to my friend and he really wants to meet you. Now, my mother is throwing a party tomorrow and he's going to be there, so I thought maybe you'd like to come with Sarah and me and meet him there. Besides I know my parents will be happy to see you and so Finn and Steph, what do you say?"

Rory thought for a second. She didn't have any plans with Greg so why not. And god knew she needed a distraction. "Sure, I'd love to. Besides I want to see them too. Hey, Logan, how Huntzberger is this thing?"

She heard Logan chuckle over the phone. This was an old code for them. " It's low" which meant a cocktail dress would be fine. "I have to go now, but would you say tomorrow at seven o'clock by your place?"

"That's fine for me."

"Good, then I'll have my secretary call you for your address. Bye Rory."

"Bye Logan. Say hi to Sarah for me" She closed her phone and found everybody staring at her.

"What?" she asked.

"You know Logan Huntzberger? The Logan Huntzberger?" Greg asked her

"I don't think there's more than one. But which one are you talking about? " She said innocently.

"The guy behind Huntzberger Media." Greg said.

"Oh yeah, I know him."

"Are you going to work for him?" Her editor asked.

"No" She said quickly she didn't want her co-workers to know she might be leaving the magazine "he's an old friend."

"How do you know him?" Her co-worker Jane asked, "that man is a good piece of eye-candy."

"He was my boyfriend in college," Rory answered reluctantly, this was getting out of hand.

"I'm sorry…" Greg said "You dated Logan Huntzberger? For how long?" Huntzberger was a hell of a competition for any man.

"Two years and half"

"So you know Mitchum Huntzberger too?" Greg asked.

"He's very good friends with my grandparents." She said tossing her salad on the trashcan and heading to the door. She was done with the interrogation.

"Oh, I forgot you were blue blooded too." Greg said a little too bitterly.

Rory didn't answer she just left the break room and went to her desk.
