An: Alright, elaborating on the hiatus thing. I give birth in about a month and a half. I know and you know I won't have time to write let alone sleep after my baby is born. It's a girl by the way. So, I'm terribly sorry but that's how it's going to be. I also have to plan a wedding for after the baby is born.

Honor was worried to death about her brother. He had not slept well at all. She could hear him pacing in the guest room. Honor herself had never met Rory but she heard from Colin and Steph. She knew that Rory was a student which is why she was shocked that her brother would attach himself to someone who was a risk to his job. Sometimes she just couldn't understand why her brother did the things he did. Honor had gotten a call from Colin late last night. He told her what happened and he was shocked when she told him they broke up. She told him that someone needed to track her down and keep an eye out. Colin said he would be sure of it and said he would call back when he had news about her whereabouts. No call yet. It was 9 AM. Honor was sipping her coffee and Josh had already left for work. She would give her brother one day to just chill before she would pry him for information. She was only human.

The front door flew open as Logan dashed in with a box. Honor could have sworn he was still sleeping. He had to have gotten up around 5 AM to leave unnoticed. "Logan! What are you carrying."

"Nothing. I'm just trying to figure out how to convince Rory that this break up was a mistake. I don't even consider us broken up. We're just taking some time." Logan said before going back up to the guestroom.

"Here comes stage one." Honor muttered. She picked up the phone and dialed Steph.

"Hello?"

"Steph? It's Honor. We have some major problems ahead of us."

"Oh no. Please tell me he hasn't started the stages too."

"Yes, stage one has erupted. He's definitely in denial. But, what do you mean 'too'?"

"I'm saying that Rory ignores everyone who says Logan's name. She definitely has it too. Let's hope that this passes by next week. This is Thursday and Logan doesn't teach today and Rory must have skipped the two classes she has today. She must be planning on skipping the rest of the week. I don't blame her. I'll wait it out with her. Her mom seems to be helping a lot."

"Alright, I think Logan teaches tomorrow. I'll make sure he goes so he doesn't lose his job. Just work on Rory and I'll try and keep Logan here. He's cooking up some kind of plan. I just don't know what, yet."

"Okay, tell Josh I said hi. Bye Honor."

"Good-bye Steph." Honor hung up. Oh no, Rory has it too. This is not good. Not good indeed.

Rory pulled up to the house and grabbed her bag. She had taken her heels off for the drive home. So, she had those in hand too. She crept into the house. She didn't want to scare her mom since it was already almost eleven at night. Suddenly all the lights went out and she heard floorboards creaking to her. She dropped her suitcase and coat on the floor. She was struck with something hard on her back. She screamed and dropped to the floor.

"Rory?"

"Mom!"

Lorelai dropped the umbrella she was holding to help her daughter off the floor. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry Rory. I didn't know it was you. Why were you creeping around the house in the middle of the week anyway?"

Lorelai began turning the lights back on as Rory plopped down on the couch. "Well, I was just coming home to see how you were doing. I'm tired so I decided to take the rest of the week off." Rory said trying to be as convincing as possible.

Lorelai didn't buy it though. "Mhmm." She decided not to push it.

"I was creeping so I didn't scare you."

"Yeah, nice work." Lorelai said sarcastically sitting down next to her. "Ohh, fancy aren't we? I thought you were just coming to check on me. You know I don't care if you showed up looking like white trash, or worse, Kelly Osbourne. Just as long as you come visit." Rory laughed.

"Oh, just a little get together with friends. So, how's the baby?"

Lorelai rubbed her stomach lovingly. "Oh, you know, probably the size of a toddler in there. I actually am glad you came to visit. It's really close to my due date. Two weeks."

"Yes, I know. I'm excited to meet my new baby brother." Rory said.

"Yeah, so movies?"

"Oh, of course. Where's Luke?"

Lorelai paused from rummaging through the movies to look back at her daughter. "He's actually over at Sookie and Jackson's."

That definitely piqued her interest. "Why?"

Lorelai held up "Everafter" and after getting a reluctant nod from Rory, she popped it in and sat down. "He's bonding with Davey and Martha. He wants to be a good dad so he's getting practice. Besides he's watching them while they have a night out. It's almost eleven so he should be home soon."

The credits started playing as they both got settled in. "So, why aren't you with Logan?" So much for not prying.

Rory shrugged. "I don't know. We both just had other stuff to do."

Lorelai decided to just drop it. They began to watch the movie and Rory looked over when the prince broke up with Danielle at the ball and she was crying. Rory was asleep by the end credits. It was around two-thirty in the morning. Lorelai heard a soft rapping on the door when she was covering Rory with a blanket. She waddled over to the door and was met by a rain soaked Steph.

"Hi, Lorelai?"

"Yeah, come in. Steph, what are you doing here. It's late."

"I came here to help you keep an eye on Rory."

"Rory? What's wrong? Things have been seeming a bit off with her." she said quietly leading Steph into the kitchen.

"I think her and Logan might have broken up."

Lorelai gasped. "I knew it had something to do with him. What happened?"

Steph then proceeded to tell Lorelai about the double date disaster. "How's she doing?"

"She cried during the rejection in "Everafter"."

"Oh, I think Logan may have run off to his sister's. He was pretty upset too since he was the dumpee."

"Yeah, I can see where they are both coming from though. Rory always talked about him when she called. She really loves him"

"I know, I think she might skip the rest of this week's classes."

"That's fine, she can stay here. I'll keep an eye out. You can go back to school and go to your classes. You wanna spend the night tonight? It's pretty late."

"Yeah, alright."

"Here, you can sleep in Rory's room. She looks pretty dead to the world out on the couch."

"Thanks, Lorelai."

"No, problem." she said walking out of the kitchen kissing Rory on the forehead and heading up to bed to Luke since he went to bed hours ago.

The next morning Steph and Rory decided to go to breakfast at Luke's since Lorelai was still sleeping peacefully on bedrest. Rory had told Steph she would head back to Yale Sunday night. Steph promised to take detailed notes. They were now sitting in the very deserted Luke's.

"I guess nobody gets up this early anymore." Rory commented.

Steph shrugged. "So, what are you gonna do about Logan's class. You can't avoid it just because Zach is threatening to tell."

Rory winced at Logan's name. "I don't know. It's not even Zach. Logan and I broke up last night."

Steph's jaw dropped. It's not that she said it. It's that she said it with no feeling in her voice whatsoever. Like it didn't happen. Stage one. "Who did the breaking up?"

"Me."

"Right. Um, I'm gonna head to the restroom super quick. I'll be back before the food is." With that Steph headed to the restroom to answer her cell that had been vibrating for the past ten seconds.

An: I hope it's not what you expected but everything and much more. 5.10. Heh.
