Chapter 18
Logan and Rory pulled up in front of the Hayden Mansion on Saturday afternoon. They had not talked in two days. At night, Logan slept on the couch, and in the morning, he was gone before Rory even woke up.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Hi, Ms. Gilmore-Hayden, Mr. Huntzberger, Lorelai and Chris are in the living room," the maid said as she opened the door.
"Thank you Marie," Rory replied.
"Fruit of my loins, is that you?"
"Me and Logan," she said walking into the living room. "Hi dad," she said hugging him.
"Enough of that. Mommy and daddy want to know what the surprises are," Lorelai said in her 'sweetest' tone.
"Should you tell them or should I?" Rory asked Logan.
"You."
"Well, while we were in Paris, Logan proposed," she said showing them a white gold band with a simple diamond. (A/N: See my profile for a link.)
"Oh hon, it's beautiful. Nice job Logan."
"Thank you Lorelai, but before you get the champagne out, we have some more news."
"Mom, I'm pregnant."
Lorelai turned white and fainted, but Chris said nothing. He was clutching his scotch glass harder and harder, while getting redder and redder in the face.
When Lorelai finally came to, she started laughing then crying. Rory pulled her up and took her to her room.
"How could you? You weren't supposed to make my mistakes!"
"Mom, I'm not making your mistakes, I'm making my own! This baby was fate for me and Logan, just like I was fate for you and Dad. But it's okay, because I've been thinking about giving it up for adoption."
"What? I didn't raise you to think like this!"
"Logan said the same thing, and we got into a huge argument about it! We haven't talked in two days mom. He sleeps on the couch and is gone before I even wake up."
"Come here kid," she said sitting on the bed. "When I was pregnant with you, I thought about giving you up for adoption."
"What made you change your mind?"
"Everything. Your heart beat…the fact that two people could do that, it made Chris and I change our minds, because we knew you would be ours then and forever."
"You're right, I should talk to Logan."
"Yeah, you should."
They walked downstairs and saw Logan and Chris laughing, apparently about the scotch glass that had shattered.
"Logan, can I talk to you, privately?"
They went upstairs to Rory's old room and sat on the bed.
"I am so sorry. You're right, we should keep this baby."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive."
"I'm sorry too."
"You just told me the truth," she said kissing him. They both felt the spark that they had felt the first time they kissed and in every kiss after that.
"Can we just sleep…enjoy being together?"
"Of course MAC."
