Author's Note – Finally what you've been waiting for the return of Bugs Bunny! Just kidding Logan is in this chapter. I am sorry if it is not really good I think it is but I don't know what you guys would think. The reason I didn't bring him in sooner and that what I had put before is so you could see that the three kids are somewhat like younger version of Colin, Finn, and Logan. Keyword somewhat. There will be a lot of drama in this chapter and the next so that is a reason for it taking longer.
Author's Note 2 – This is the longest chapter I ever wrote. Rory makes a big speech towards Logan from her heart also
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
-Rebecca
Previously on Once Together Always and Forever –
"Fruit of my lions, fruit of my lions, lions." Lorelai said walking in. "There you are give me a hug." Lorelai said and hugged Rebecca while she hi to everyone else and gave Luke a kiss. She and Rory made the boys scoot down so they could sit in the middle.
"You know that didn't make any sense right?" Colin asked and he was just ignored.
"So what did you all do today?" Stephanie asked as kissed Colin then kissed Kyle in the head and made them scoot down again.
"We played baseball." Kyle said
"Oh was it fun?" Rory asked
"Yeah we got to play with Will and his friends." Tyler said
"Plus I learned that I can throw and hit a baseball." Rebecca said
"What you played with them?" Lorelai asked shocked
"Here we go." Colin, Finn, Stephanie, Rory and Luke said.
"Why? I mean it's a Gilmore rule we never play sports. What possessed you to do such a thing?" Lorelai said
"I just wanted to it was fun and I am part Huntzberger and my dad did break rules besides I am growing up with them." Rebecca said pointing towards Kyle and Tyler.
"Hey we aren't that bad." Tyler said
"I guess that does give her an excuse mom." Rory said, "But look at their father's" Rory said pointing at Finn and Colin.
"Hey I'm to smarter one." Colin said in defense.
"Anyway what are we doing for Halloween this year it's next weekend." Stephanie said
"Probably he same these three go around the apartment building then we bring them over here for the town's Halloween party/ball thing." Rory said
"Cool, so what are you going to be this year grandma?" Rebecca asked
"I was thinking Cinderella." Lorelai said
"Just don't make grandpa prince charming no one needs to see him in tights or any guys in tights for that matter. Especially after want happened last year with uncle Finn." Rebecca said.
"It's not my fault." Finn said, "It was Miss Patty's." Finn said and shook his head remembering how Miss Patty had chased him around the town and he ended up climbing up a tree then falling out of it and ripped his Peter Pan outfit.
"I'm tired what time is it?" Rebecca asked
"7:30 we should be heading home anyway." Rory said standing up. "Bye mom, Luke." Rory said while giving each of them a hug Rebecca did the same while they others said bye and waved. They all got into the S.U.V. and headed home all in the sitting in the same spots as before.
Chapter Five – Return of the Huntzberger
They had just gotten back to the apartment building and they all went to their own apartments. Thinking the evening would be uneventful. Boy they were wrong.
Finn's Apartment
"Alright mate off to bed now." Finn said to Tyler as he walked down the hall towards Tyler's room. It was a dark blue colored room with a twin-sized bed that had a blue comforter.
"Do I have to? I am not tried at all." Tyler complained he was wearing a white t-shirt and gray pajama bottoms. While Finn was wearing the same thing but had a darker shade of gray.
"Yes, because it is very hard to stay awake all day the next day trust me on that one." Finn said as Tyler climbed into bed.
"Dad don't you think I am a little old for you to still come and say goodnight to me?" Tyler asked
"No such thing mate you'll never be too old that will never happen to us. Night Tyler." Finn said and ruffled his sons' hair and left the room after shutting the door and went to watch some T.V. for a while and then his cell phone rang.
"Who would be stupid enough to call at 10:50 at night." Finn muttered to himself.
"Hello" Finn answered while sighing, he was standing in the kitchen leaning against the counter.
"Finn?" a voice said on the other end of the line.
"Yeah, who is this?" Finn said then took a bite of the pop tarts he had made. The Gilmore Girls have been an influence on him and the others.
"Hey Finn its Logan."
"WHO? WHAT?" Finn yelped and choked on a piece of the pop tart and coughed.
"Logan I this really you mate?" Finn asked
"Yeah long time no talk. Anyway I was wondering if you wanted to hang out right now or something." Logan said
"Hang out, HANG OUT. Is that all you have to say after ten bloody years of not talking to us and having to deal wit tons of things because of you. The press was after us for a month when you left." Finn said.
"Finn, Finn clam down I just want to talk that's all and I will explain so what do you say?" Logan said, "Colin their with you too?"
"He's around here and were are you and how did you get this number?" Finn asked
"Your parents and I am heading towards your place right now." Logan said
"WHAT! Ok just call when you get here bye." Finn said and took a deep breath trying to clam him self down but failed he didn't know what to do so he opened the front door and went to the door to his right and knocked.
'Oh great what am I going to do what am I going to say, how will Rory react. RORY! Oh I have a feeling I am not going to get to sleep tonight at all.' Finn thought as he waited for Colin to open the door.
Hallway
Also the others that live on the same floor as them are usually never there because they travel and this is just a place they use every so often.
"Open the damn door Colin." Finn said
"What the hell is your problem Finn." Colin said with Stephanie standing next to him. Colin was wearing the same thing as Finn but he had a red shirt on. While Stephanie had a green nightgown with a matching robe it was a silky material.
"Come out here." Finn said and they did closing the door behind them.
"It's not just my problem it's all of ours and this problem is heading over here as we speak." Finn said
"What are you talking about." Stephanie asked she and Colin following Finn as he knocked on Rory's door, which was in the middle between theirs, but on the opposite side.
"What the hell." Rory said stepping into the hallway in a pair of black pajama bottoms and a pink tank top. "What is it is everyone ok?" Rory asked
"He's back he coming over as we speak he just said let's hang out I mean HANG OUT! After everything." Finn continued to rant pacing back and forth, he reminded them of Rory at the moment.
"Finn who are you talking about?" Colin asked as he put his hands on Finn's shoulders and looked him in the eye calmly.
"LOGAN!" Finn said "Is on his way over here to see me and Colin not knowing Stephanie and Rory are here or that any of us have kids let alone that he has one." Finn said
"Logan…" Rory said shocked and then fell to the floor. 'Logan…coming here soon oh god I thought I would never see him again. Stop kidding yourself he probably doesn't even remember me.' Rory thought she looked dazed.
"Rory" Stephanie said helping Rory up again.
"You ok there?" Stephanie asked
"Yeah I guess I just thought that Finn said Logan was on his way here." Rory said 'Please let it have been a dream.' Rory thought but she knew it wasn't.
"He his on his way here as we speak." Colin said
"Oh god oh god oh god what am I going to do or say?"
"Well you could start with hello." Colin said
"Don't be smart with me." Rory said she was a nervous wreck at that moment when they heard footsteps coming up the stairs. "Oh god, Stephanie come with me Stephanie will call you guys in a while." Rory said and pulled Stephanie into her apartment.
Logan walked up two sets of stairs until he had reached the third floor wondering why he hadn't just taken the elevator.
'God this is going to be awkward after what ten years. I wonder if they are still in contact with…." Logan thought, "No they wouldn't be it's been to long.' And he saw his two best friends or what he hoped would still be his best friends.
"Hey Logan" Colin said not knowing what else to say.
"Hey Colin" Logan said lamely
"Hey Mate." Finn said
"Finn…. I missed you guys." Logan said
"Us too mate us too." Finn said, "Well want to come into my apartment and talk?" Finn asked
"Sure let's go." Logan said.
Gilmore Apartment
Rory closed the door behind her self and walked towards the dining room her hand covering her mouth and she started to cry and leaned against a wall and slid down it slowly.
'Oh god I hate seeing her like this she hasn't done this since he left, at times I hate him so much for Rory loving him so much. I mean come on she hasn't even dated anyone since he left. She went out once with some guy but nothing happened.'Stephanie thought and walked towards Rory sat down next to her and held her. Rory put her head on Stephanie's lap. She remembered doing that over him many times before back when he had left.
"I can't do this Steph. I can't face him." Rory said shakily
"Shhh… we'll worry about it later ok now come on let's sit on the couch." Stephanie said. Rory nodded they both sat down on the couch and covered themselves with the blanket that was on the couch.
Finn's Apartment
Finn opened the door and they entered and sat at the kitchen table. When you walk in you are in the living room with the kitchen to your left and the hallway going towards the right then straight ahead is a family area/ dining room. The walls were different colors but mostly warm pastel colors like golden yellow and a red mixed with brown.
"So this is just your place Finn?" Logan asked
"Yeah, so want a drink?" Finn asked
"No thanks Logan said and looked around a little. "So fill me in what have I missed?" Logan asked. Finn looked somewhat angered that Logan was acting this way as if nothing had ever happened. Both him and Colin had come to think of Rory as not only a best friend but also as a sister.
"Stephanie and I got married we live next door." Colin said
"Really wow you finally did it." Logan said
"Yeah and we have a kid." Colin said, "he's ten and his name is Kyle Anthony Morgan.
"Again wow and ten years late congratulations." Logan said
"Same to you." Colin muttered.
" What about you Finn still going for the redheads?" Logan asked when Tyler interrupted them.
"Dad, can I go hang out with Kyle?" Tyler asked sitting at the table as well while ignoring Logan completely.
"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Finn asked
"I was until you started yelling like an insane person you sounded like aunt…" Tyler said but couldn't finish because Finn said, "Yes I know like aunt Stephanie. Any way ago ahead and hang out with Kyle but only Kyle."
"Ok later." Tyler said but before leaving he said, "Nice to meet you." Towards Logan and left. Logan was just shell shocked
"You have a kid?" Logan said
"Yeah Rosemary and me dated in a serious relationship but she left and I found out when Tyler was three that Rosemary had died and that I had a son." Finn said.
"He looks like you." Logan said and looked around Finn's living room. "Hey who Colin did you have two kids?" Logan asked
"No why would you ask that." Colin said, he and Finn both walked up to what Logan was looking at and Finn quickly grabbed a photo and put it behind his back.
"Oh the little girl she…" Colin started but there was a knock on the door and Stephanie came in.
"Hey Logan good to see you." Stephanie said and hugged him.
"You to Stephanie." Logan said
"One second." Stephanie said and walked towards Finn and Colin and asked, "Have you told him?"
"Told him what?" Finn asked
"That Rory loves right next to us that's what." Stephanie said
"Did you say?" Logan said
"Yeah Rory she wants to talk with you if you want to." Stephanie said.
"I…I…" Logan started
"You owe her that much Logan." Finn said
"Where is she?" Logan asked
"I'll show you and also she doesn't know you are going to see her she just knows you're here." Stephanie said. "Break a leg" She left him at the door.
Logan stood there for a minute he took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Stephanie since when did you start to kn…" Rory said and saw Logan standing in front of her. She face was a little red still but better than before. "Logan..." Rory whispered taking in every inch and every detail of him as he did the same.
"Hey Ace, can I come in?" Logan said he was scared as hell he didn't know what was going on but all he knew was that this was maybe his second chance to be with Rory.
Rory's Apartment
"I missed you." Logan and Rory said at the same time they were sitting on the couch not knowing what else to say.
"So what brings you back in our neck of the woods?" Rory asked
"Me finally sticking up to that jackass that is so called my father." Logan said, "I stood up to him which I should have done before."
"Yeah you should have." Rory said, "Logan I need to tell you something and just listen to me before you say anything ok?"
"Rory… what are you" Logan started but then said, "Ok"
Rory smiled a little and closed her eyes breathed in deeply and then started. "Ok good thing you are sitting down and please if there is any yelling don't yell to loud."
"Ro..." Logan started but Rory put her hand up.
"Let me talk ok her goes nothing. I don't really know how to saw this so I am just going to say it as if I haven't already talked to you. It's good to see you Logan, surprised you even came back and that you would have remembered me enough to come by. I mean it must have been really hard with all of those bimbos' at the beaches.
Any way I just have to say it that. After you left a few weeks later I found out that I was pregnant with your daughter, now again please just listen. I tried to get in contact but your phone lines were blocked off I asked your parents my grandparents on how to contact you. I sent letters but they were sent back. But don't worry none of the high society people know that you are the father because that would ruin your family name.
Since I told them my grandparents won't even look at me if I see them at a store or something. None of Colin, Finn or Stephanie's families will talk to them either because of me. They called me so many things and even worse since I protected you from saying you were that father. I'm sorry you didn't know but now you do you have a ten year-old daughter that is asleep right down that hall.
She has your eyes and she does things like you pulling pranks and she has your smirk. She thinks that you are in California because you had to be and that you care and love her and think about her every day. She has a locket that has a picture of us together in it she won't go anywhere without it."
Rory continued crying a little, "I am sorry that you missed out on so many things, when she was born, being by my side through everything, the day she came home from the hospital, her first word, first step, first day of school, first book she read, first cup of coffee she had. But that is if you want to be a part of her life. I won't let you just come and go any time you want. My father did that and it tore be apart and I don't want her to feel that because then she will resent you. I am giving you a choice to either be in your daughter's life or just walk away." Rory finished she was crying now and Logan was just in shock. Upset that he had missed all of those events and that he should have stood up to his father sooner.
"Rory, I am not going anywhere I am sorry I want to be with you there wasn't a day that went by without me thinking about you." Logan said looking straight in to her eyes. "What her name?" he asked
"Rebecca Lorelai Huntzberger-Gilmore." Rory whispered.
Author's Note – Okay so what do you think. I really want a lot of feedback on this one please. Really tell me what you think I can handle it again sorry I misspell some things.
