"I Want To With You"

Over the next month neither Rory nor Logan had seen or heard from the other and they were both completely miserable. Their friends couldn't understand what had happened; Finn and Colin noticed that Logan would call out for Rory in his sleep. Lane and Paris continued to pester Rory to budge and talk to them, but she just wouldn't, she had become as hard as stone. Tired of being bothered by her two well meaning friends Rory told Lorelai that she had had a fight with the two and needed to move back home for awhile.

Richard told Rory that in about a week or so her marriage would be over. Finally her mood had come to a head with her two best friends. One day the three got into a heated argument in the middle of Lorelai's living room.

"Rory!" yelled Paris

"Paris, leave me the hell alone, I'm am not going back to Logan."

"Why not, you two belong together and you love him, you miss him, you want to be with him, don't you?" questioned Lane.

Lane then grabbed her best friend since Kindergarten by the shoulder and turned her around.

"Look at me Rory; you love him, don't you."

"YES, of course I love him, I love him more than anything." screamed Rory back at both of her friends.

They were finally making progress. But the three had not even realized that they had been yelling until they turned around and Lorelai was standing in the doorway. With that Lane and Paris left mother and daughter alone, figuring that Lorelai had most likely heard everything.

Taking off her coat, and sitting down on the couch Lorelai just decided to dive right in.

"Rory, what's going on? You've been this way since we came home from California."

"What way?" Rory asked her mother.

"You've been in this funk, this mood, this bad place and I want to know why."

With that Rory surrendered and sat down next to her mother and confessed everything, and by the end she was crying. Rory had left her mother with a lot to digest and a lot of shock, but it was Rory who was shocked by something that her mother then said to her after a few minutes.

"Rory?"

"Ya?"

"You're pregnant, aren't you?" asked a knowing Lorelai.

Rory stopped and turned around, shocked and unable to speak and looked her mother straight in the eye.

"The moods, the being pale and sickly and I know you've been throwing up."

"Are you pregnant?" Lorelai once again asked her daughter.

"I don't know." Rory answered truthfully.

And with that the two went out to acquire a pregnancy test and came back to their house to be alone and find out the life altering results.

A week later Rory, accompanied by some friends, Lorelai, the elder Gilmores and the Huntzbergers assembled, at the Dragonfly, so that the final papers could be signed.

"Where's Logan, doesn't he have to be here to sign these too?" Lorelai asked Mitchum and Shira.

"Logan's not coming; he has already signed the paper and is going to be leaving for the airport to leave to take a position in Paris." explained Mitchum.

"What?" exploded both Rory and Lorelai.

"Go to the airport, go right now, see if you can catch him." barked Lorelai at her daughter.

Rory listened and put down the pen she had used to sign the papers and ran out the door and flew to the airport, leaving her grandparents and the Huntzbergers confused and shocked.

Rory arrived at the airport only to be told that Logan's plain had already departed. What had she done? How could she do this? How could she send him away? How could she pretend like what they had was nothing? How could he just leave her?

Heartbroken, Rory returned home to Stars Hallow to find a big crowd gathered in the center of town. Rory got out of her car to find out what was going on and was flabbergasted to see Logan surrounded by all of Stars Hallow, not to mention her grandparents and his parents and Luke and Lorelai.

Logan came over to her, and took her hands in his; it was as though they were the only two in the room. Everyone else didn't know what was going on.

"Rory, I couldn't leave without seeing you once more, I know you said that I had to let you go, but.."

"No, but Logan." Rory interrupted.

"Rory, don't say anything, just let me get this out, ok?"

"I know you said that we shouldn't have gotten involved and that we should just let each other go and stick to the original plan and if that's truly what you want, than I'll let you go and say goodbye.

"But Ace, I love you more than anything."

"I've spent my life going from one girl to another, never really giving them a second thought, I just always had them falling at my feet, and I certainly never really cared about any of them, let alone fell in love."

"But with you it's been different; it's always been different; from that first jump with the LDB."

"You showed me a different side to people, a whole new world, a whole new side to myself, and I fell, I fell hard for you."

Once upon a lonely time

I didn't want to share my life

But now I find in everything that I do

I want to with you

Just then Logan took the ruby engagement ring out of his pocket and held it up to her and than he got down on one knee, in front of everybody and asked her.

"Rory, I love you more than anything, more than I ever could have imagined was possible, I want to love you forever, I want to spend my life with you, will you marry me?"

Rory was crying and laughing at this point. Her glance went to her mother, who was over a couple feet away with a smile on her face. Her grandparents, Luke, Mithcum and Shira Huntzberger stood there with their mouths open, they couldn't believe what was happening.

Rory than grabbed hold of Logan's jacket and pulled him up. He thought this was the end.

"Yes, Logan, I would love to be your wife, again." she whispered.

Two hours later the duo were happy, in love and engaged and finally heading back to spend some much needed time alone at Rory, Lane and Paris' place after the town held an impromptu engagement party.

The two entered the apartment laughing, smiling and kissing each other. Rory looked at her engagement ring.

"I've missed this thing; my finger has felt bare without it."

"It has missed you too Ace and I insist that you never take it off." said Logan kissing her hand.

Ushering him to sit down on the couch, Rory sat in his lap.

"Logan, we need to talk."

"Oh, no, I know what happened the last time you said that, but you just told me you'd marry me." he said.

"I love you Logan." she said.

"I love you too Ace, so much."

"That's good, because there's something that I have to tell you."

"What is it, you ok?" Logan asked concerned.

"Logan, I'm, I'm." Rory said trying to tell him.

"You're what, come on Ace, you've never had any problem saying anything to me before, don't start now, spit it out."

"Ok, I'm pregnant Logan."

"What?" he asked laughing

"I'm pregnant, we're gonna have a baby." she repeated.

"We're gonna have a baby." he said, repeating what she had just said.

"Yes" Rory said now with tears in her eyes.

"We're gonna have a baby." Logan repeated cupping her face in his hands and kissing her before scooping her up into his arms.

But than he put her down on the floor and was quiet before asking,

"Is this why you went looking for me?"

"Is the baby the only reason that you changed your mind and decided that you want to be with me?"

"No, Logan, of course not, I mean I want our child to have you in his or her life, but that's not why I said yes. I said yes because I love you, I want you, I need you. Baby or no baby, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Again, Thanx for all the great comments, they make me happy. As I said, some of you may have read this story in the past, yes, it was up on Illusive once upon a time, but w/all the problems that site has, I've kind of given up posting there.
