Rory lives in Hartford and is a full time writer at the Stamford Eagle Gazette, her life is hectic but she gets along until Logan shows up...

Chapter 1: The Reunion

Knock Knock Knock

Logan gently raps his knuckles against an apartment door. Its been nearly two years since he last saw Rory and he is nervous as hell. He didn't know how she would act but he had to see her, he just couldn't take it anymore. His father wasn't going to control his life.

"What are you doing here", Rory asked surprised as she opened the door.

"I had to see you Rory", Logan told her desperately.

"It's been two years Logan, you can't just come back and expect everything to be okay."

"Rory, please let me expl—" Logan started to say but was cut off by the sound of a baby.

"I gotta uhm–" Rory said as she turned and walked down the hall.

Logan entered the apartment and shut the door. He waited patiently for Rory to return. Which she did a few minutes later with a small girl on her hip.

Taking in the girls blonde hair and blue eyes and beautiful face Logan started to connect things but wasn't sure.

Nervously he asked, " Is she yours, How old is she?"

Rory sighed than answered " yes she's my daughter and she's 16 months old". She had to fight back a smile as she saw the wheels turning in his head.

"She's mine isn't she?"he barely managed to get out.

"Yes Logan this is Lorelai "Riley" Gilmore Huntzberger, your daughter"

"I I... need to sit ...down" Logan said quietly. His face had gotten considerably pale and he stumbled slightly as he went to sit on the couch. Rory set Riley in a playpen than joined Logan on the couch.

"You never told me"

"I tried, but your father..." she trailed off.

Instantly Logan got angry " What? What did my father do this time"

"He told me I couldn't tell you or he'd ruin any chance I had at a career" Rory told him looking away.

"I can't believe this" Logan shouted standing up " Godamnit" he yelled punching a wall.

"Logan please" Rory said stiffly as Riley began to cry. She quickly picked her up and began to rock her.

Turning around he looked at the girl he had always loved holding his daughter, their daughter. He felt his heart soften. " She's really mine?" he asked stepping closer.

"Yes she is"

"Can I hold her?" he asked gently, Rory cast him a knowing look. " I'll be careful", he quickly added.

With a small smile she handed her daughter to him, Logan's face lit up as he looked at the little girl in his arms.

"I can't believe I have a daughter" Logan said softly.

"Well you better believe it mister cause I'm not letting you be like my Dad. I want you to be there for her as she grows up.

"I will, Rory, I promise nothing can keep me away." Logan told her seriously.

Within a few minutes Riley had fallen asleep and Rory said she should put her to bed. But Logan insisted on tucking his daughter in. So Rory showed him the room and watched as he placed the sleeping girl in her crib. After kissing Riley goodnight they left the room and adjourned to the living room.

"So what about us?" Asked Logan tentivley.

"I don't know, Logan I really don't" responded Rory

"I still love you , Ace I always did"

"Logan, I don't want to go rushing into something that we're not ready for"

"Ace please I love you, I need you"

"I'm not saying there isn't a future for us but we need to get things sorted out. This is a big change for both of us, okay. I want you to be a part of Riley's life and my life too but just give me some time, take things slow okay" Rory told him looking into his eyes.

"Okay, I can do that ...I'm going to go ahead and go now but can I come over tomorrow maybe hang out with Riley, catch up with you?" Asked Logan softly.

"Yea, I'd like that" responded Rory just as softly.

They both stood up and Rory walked him to the door.

"Goodnight Ace" Logan said as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Goodnight Logan" she said as she closed the door behind him.
