Oh, to all who reviewed! You all make me so happy. I'm so glad that you all like it. Anyway, here's the second chapter.

Oh, and to Tink664, thank you. I definitely meant to use the word 'vigorously' not 'vicariously'. Thanks for pointing that out!

The next morning, Rory had rolled out of bed and grabbed Logan's shirt from the night before. Buttoning it up, she walked into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. Grabbing a pastry from the day before, she sat down at the kitchen table to read the newspaper. About halfway through her second cup of coffee and the Arts and Life section of the local newspaper, she felt Logan wrap his arms around her shoulders from behind.

"Morning."

His reply was muffled with a yawn, "Morning."

"Still tired?"

"Yea… somebody I know really tired me out."

She smirked at this comment, "you know you liked it."

He had to smile, she was right… somewhat. "No… I didn't like it. I loved it."

She replied, "I know."

They sat together in silence eating their breakfasts, drinking their coffee and reading the newspapers for a while. It was Rory who finally broke the silence.

"You know what we have to do right?"

His reply was a blatant innuendo and a smirk, "Each other"

"Very funny."

"I know… on both accounts. Tell the family, right?"

She looked uneasy, "Yes."

He sensed her uneasiness and walked over to her, wrapping her in his arms in a tight bear hug. "It'll be okay. You know that right?"

She smiled into his chest, "Yeah."

Later that day, Rory and Logan were on their way to the Gilmore House in Hartford. Coincidentally, today was Friday, so gathering the family at dinner was rather easy. They had taken Logan's Cayenne and were currently turning down the Gilmore's street. Rory had straightened her black skirt out for about the 100th time when Logan pulled into the driveway. He put the car in park, got out, and went over to the passenger's doors to assist Rory. As she got out of the car, he took her hand.

"It's gonna be okay, you know that. And, even if it isn't, which it won't be… it doesn't matter. What matters is that I love you and we're getting married!"

"I know. And, I love you too."

He smiled and continued to play with the ring on her left hand. The door opened to reveal a new maid. After being ushered into the sitting room, the newly-engaged couple took a seat opposite Emily and Richard.

Emily was the first to talk, "Your mother and father will be a little late today. They had to pick Jake and Isaac up from a birthday party."

"Oh. Okay."

The four sat and talked about Yale and the newspaper business for a while. Logan kept Rory's hand in his, hiding their secret that lay there. Suddenly, a loud commotion was heard and the youngest twins, Jackie and Ben came running into the room to greet their grandparents.

"Grandma! Grandpa!" The two had jumped onto the couch that their grandparents were sitting on and were now sitting in the middle.

Jake, Isaac, Lorelai and Chris were the next to enter. They had taken seats on the sides of the room.

Lorelai provided what everyone who had not just arrived wanted to know.

"Lily's still in the car. This weeks' crush called and she just had to talk to him."

"Brett?" It was Rory who talked this time.

"Is that his name? Interesting. I thought she still liked Scott. I liked him. That boy was entertaining."

They continued polite conversation until Lily's quite un-sneaky attempt to enter the room. She went to hug Rory. The two sisters talked for a second until a screech was heard.

"Rory, what is that on your finger?" Emily requested.

Rory took a seat and grabbed Logan's hand for emotional support.

"An engagement ring."

"You and Logan are getting married?"

The young couple looked at one another and smiled. Inadvertently, they had replied at the same time, "Yes," the smiles on their faces were a smile wide.

Various congratulations could be heard around the room and talk began about what the wedding colors would be what song their first dance would be to, who would be the bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Emily was the first to ask the first question, "When is the wedding?"

Rory glanced at Logan and he nodded for her to answer.

"Well, since Logan will be working in New York until next May, and I don't graduate until May, we were thinking December 15."

"December 15? Why?" That was Lorelai's question. Emily added, "Yes, why wait those 7 extra months? June is a lovely month to get married in."

Logan took this one, "Yes, we know. But, to be honest, we wanted to wait a little. Rory didn't want to have to stress over finals and a wedding along with getting a job. Secondly, we both love winter. December just seemed like the right time."

Richard was the first to reply, "I think it will be lovely."

"Thank you Grandpa"

The maid had come to announce dinner and the group moved into the dining room. Over a delicious meal of Fettuccini Alfredo and chicken, they began discussing all the details of the wedding. Things they had thought of the night before and things they never would have thought of.

"So, Rory, where do you plan on having the reception?" Emily had asked. She thought she knew the answer, although, she still wished it wasn't.

Rory swallowed, she hadn't talked to Lorelai about this yet. Biting her lip, she replied, "Well… I know I always talked about being married at the Inn. But… I don't know if it will be big enough… Especially due to the fact that the wedding is in December… we couldn't be outside."

Lorelai sighed… she knew this would happen. But… it wasn't her wedding… it was Rory's. She smiled, "So, where are you going to have the wedding?"

Rory's smile brightened. "I was thinking this charming reception hall in New Haven. It's adorable. Very 1920's. According to the owner, it was sort of "the hottest" place to be in the 20s. The woodworking and everything is exquisite."

"I've been there before, I think. It's a lovely place. I've been there for many benefits." Emily was amazed… She always though that her eldest granddaughter would marry someone from Stars' Hollow and would be married at the Inn Lorelai ran. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine Rory marrying someone from society or getting married at a semi-society popular reception hall.

Lorelai took this as the time to voice her opinion. "Hey, Ror, you still want Sookie to cater? I'm sure she'd love to. And, I'd still love to help you plan the wedding. And, you're right, the Inn would be way to small for a winter wedding."

Rory smiled. She never dreamed that this wedding would come together as smoothly as it was.

They spent the rest of the dinner talking about Lily's time at Chilton and Jackie and Ben's first day at pre-school. Lorelai told them how Jackie was already in trouble for painting things she wasn't supposed to – other kid's clothing especially. Ben was the quieter of the two – more like Rory.

Lily told them about the 'Mary' incident and Rory and Lorelai just laughed. She later asked why Rory told her to talk to Tristin.

"You'll see" was Rory's only reply.

Jake and Isaac talked about their soccer team. The two were the best players on the team. They had obviously gotten their athletic abilities from Chris. Tristin had gotten them involved in the sport as soon as they had learned how to walk.

As they were walking out that night, Lily asked Rory if they could talk.

"Anytime, you know that."

"Could we meet at Starbucks' tomorrow?"

"Absolutely… how about if I pick you up and we go shopping? We'll be needing to get you a bridesmaid dress…"

"Really? Okay!"

Walking out to the car, Logan had his arm thrown over Rory's shoulders, keeping her close.

"Told you it would go well"

She turned to him and glared.

"Cocky boy."

He smirked, "very."

The next day, Rory drove to Stars' Hollow to pick up Lily. She had taken Logan's car knowing that they'd buy way too much to fit into hers. Rory had also called Steph to come along. Steph was more like Lily than Rory and maybe she could help. She had picked up Steph at her New Haven apartment on the way there.

Pulling the black SUV into the drive way of her childhood home, Rory and Steph had both barely opened their doors when Lily came running out.

"We have to go… now… before you get sucked into the war that is currently occurring in there!" Lily had said, rather quickly, slamming the door of the car shut. "It's a mad house. They should all be institutionalized."

"What's going on?" Rory asked, clearly interested.

"Jackie got into Mom's make up. While Mom was removing the mess from Jackie's face and the wall, Ben was flushing Dad's ties down the toilet downstairs. Jake and Isaac came home covered in mud and tracked it all over the house. All over the new carpet too. Oh, and Dad was called to London at 3 am this morning to fix something that some intern caused."

Steph laughed, "Sounds like a normal day at the Hayden household."

"True." Rory had agreed.

The three were currently shopping at American Eagle for Lily. She had her first date with Brett the next Friday and was as nervous as all hell. They had been to numerous stores and had yet to find anything Lily liked.

All she found in Abercrombie was cute sales guys.

Hollister? More cute sales guys.

H&M? Lily had declared it 'worthless for date wear'.

Ralph Lauren? Good for the club. Not a date. Although, Rory and Steph had both found outfits.

Marc Jacobs? Nothing.

Guess? Too 'slutty'.

Currently sifting through piles of jeans, Lily found the 'perfect pair'. They had a low rise and dark wash and looked marvelous on her long legs. Relived, Rory more than happily offered to buy them and handed the salesgirl Logan's black card.

They continued shopping for another hour before Steph finally suggested Armani. It seemed to be the only store they hadn't been to yet.

Within minutes, they had found a cropped, tight-fitting khaki-colored blazer and a white tank top for underneath. Lily, apprehensive over the price of the ensemble, tried to say she didn't like it. But, being the seasoned shoppers they were, Steph and Rory insisted that she did like it. They were all too right. Once again laying the black card down, the three gathered their purchases and walked out the door.

They were fifteen minutes late for their reservations at Moxie. Logan had made the reservations that morning and the restaurant all but rushed to ensure that a table would be available. Otherwise, it'd be a three month wait. Falling into the chairs around a table in a private room, the girls began talking about their favorite purchases and boys. The typical girl talk.

Steph was nothing short of giddy about her purchase at Victoria's Secret. Tristin was visiting her in two weeks. She then proceeded to talk about how happy Tristin would be to see her in the sexy little red number. After all, red was his favorite color. Rory glared at her, giving her the "there's-an-underage-child-at-the-table" look. Steph just shrugged her off, saying that it wasn't like she hadn't heard any of it before.

Besides the "first date outfit", Lily had gotten a homecoming dress at Jessica McClintock. She assumed that Brett would be taking her and had purchased a dark blue chiffon halter dress that she said would look magnificent with his blue eyes.

Rory had bought a Vera Wang cocktail dress for her first charity event that she would be attending with Logan as 'the future Mrs. Huntzberger'. The dress was black silk with spaghetti straps and a v-neck. It wasn't tight fitting, but it flowed lightly against her curves and ended right below her knees. Against her pale skin it looked even better. Rory hadn't allowed Lily to listen to what Steph had to say about the dress – and Logan's reaction.

They were about halfway through dinner when Lily had a question that made Rory almost choke on her food and Steph almost spit her champagne out.

"When did you know that you wanted to have sex?"

Rory was the first to get an audible answer out that wasn't a curse word.

"Well… I… Logan… We… Lil, hun, don't you think you're a little, um, young?"

"Yes! Oh my god. I just wanted to know because, well, I'm definitely not asking Mom. Not after hearing your stories. And, well, you'll be married soon and having kids, you won't really have time. And Steph, well, you're practically married to Tristin as it is."

Steph had blushed at the last comment. But, she had continued to answer Lily's question.

"Well Lily, I have to say that I completely regret my first time. I was… completely wasted, to put it lightly. To be honest, I regret the fact that it wasn't Tristin. I never would have done it. I guess you just have to understand that you need to wait for the one. The one who isn't just in it for the sex… he has to love you and you have to love him. It makes it so much more… enjoyable."

Rory sighed. Her little sister was growing up. Looking at her sister, she realized that she really wasn't the little girl she always saw her as.

"Lily, you're young. You have your whole life ahead of you. All I have to say is that you have to make sure he loves you. Not just the fact that you'll have sex with him. I regret the fact that my first time was with Jess. Sure, I loved him, but I was never in love with him. I would trade anything for Logan to be my first time. After all, it was Logan who held me and let me cry on his shoulder when Jess left. That's when I knew that Logan was the one for me. Just, don't make the same mistakes that Steph and I have. Make sure you love him and are in love with him. And make sure the feeling is mutual. Any more questions?"

Lily had more questions. They were personal, but Steph and Rory felt as though Lily needed to know.

"How old were you when you lost your virginity?"

"17."

"18."

Those were Stephanie and Rory's respective answers.

"Who?"

"His name was Nathan. He was hot… but that's all I ever though of him." Anyone could clearly see that Stephanie had regretted her choice.

"Jess, but you knew that."

Lily smirked, suddenly, she had an idea. Maybe she'd be able to get more out of the older girls.

"How are Logan and Tristin in bed? I mean, they are hot!"

Rory and Stephanie were nothing short of shocked. They both knew revenge would be sweet.

Stephanie was the first to recover.

"That is a story for another time. Preferably when you are legal and drunk, so that you won't remember the next day."

When they had dropped Lily off, Stephanie had one more piece of advice for Lily.

"Oh, Lily?"

"Yes?"

"When you are old enough, use a condom!"

The shade of red Lily's face had become was more than enough for Stephanie and Rory to consider 'sweet revenge'.

What was even more sweet was Brett was sitting on the front porch...

So, how was it? I don't care about reviews... But I do want to know what people think. And, I've said it in other stories... I thrive on criticism... I just love proving people wrong. So, please, criticize away. Maybe that will make me update quicker...

...Probably not.
