Chapter 17
A/N: Lorelai does NOT know that they are engaged.
"Mom, Dad, I'm coming to visit this weekend. Logan and I…we have a couple of surprises for you guys," Rory said to her parents' answering machine.
Logan was asleep on the couch when Rory walked into their apartment. 'He looks so cute when he's asleep,' she thought. 'We're going to have so much on our plates this year. Maybe we should consider putting the baby up for adoption.'
"Hey Babe," Logan said as she sat on the couch at his feet.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. Although, now that you're awake, I want to talk to you about something."
"Shoot Ace."
"I was thinking about what you said when you found out that we're going to have a baby. That we're 19 and in our freshman year of college."
"Yeah, but like you said-"
"No, let me finish. I... Ithinkweshouldputthebabyupforadoption," she said in one breath.
"What?"
"I think we should put the baby up for adoption."
"What? No!" Logan exclaimed.
"We're ready financially, but are we ready mentally, physically, or emotionally?" Rory asked.
"Rory, I want this baby. WE created it, not the people who would adopt it!"
"So what! I am asking you again, do you really think we're ready?"
"It doesn't matter! If we were ready to have sex, then we should be ready to handle what comes with it!"
"God dammit Logan! We're 19! We still have lives to live!"
"You're mom would be disappointed! She had you at 16, and it didn't matter to her whether or not she was ready. She had you and she raised you into the wonderful woman you are today!"
"I don't care Logan! You don't know how much I hate considering adoption, but I have to because I really don't think we're ready to have a kid!"
"Fine Rory! But just wait until you see the ultrasound pictures or hear the heart beat for the first time!" he yelled walking out of the apartment. He needed time to calm down. They both did.
