Chapter 3: A Visit to Stars Hollow
Rory had called her mother early this morning to tell her that Logan would be joining them for the weekend. Lorelai agreed but she wasn't sure how everything would go. First off Luke still wanted to kill Logan as well as several others in town. Rory pulled up if front of her old house that she had grown up in. Getting out they noticed that nobody was home.
"I think Mom and Luke are working and I guess Kevin is with one of them" Rory said as she surveyed the dark house.
"Well where should we go" Logan asked as he pulled Riley's stroller out of the back.
"Luke's of course, I'm starved" Rory said like it was obvious.
"Should've known" Logan said with a smirk.
Rory got Riley out of her car seat and strapped her into her stroller. They started walking down the street. Logan slid his arm around Rory's waist and took over pushing the stroller. To those who didn't know them they would think they were just a happy family going for a little walk. Unfortunately Babbette did know them and immediately dialed Miss. Patty.
"Not much has changed here has it?" Logan asked looking around.
"Why would it?" Rory asked with the tone that said that's a stupid question.
"I don't uh never mind" Logan stuttered.
"Smart boy" Rory said grinning." Hey look there's Miss Patty" she said as she waved to the plump woman standing at the door of her studio.
The three arrived at Luke's and walked in hearing the bell tinkle behind them. They immediately saw her mother and Kevin at the usual table and headed in that direction.
"RORY" Kevin shouted running up to her and hugging her around the legs.
"Oof" Rory said as she was hit by the 5 year old. "Hey there little bro whacha doing"
"Me and Mom are eating well actually Mom is just annoying Dad."
"That sounds about right, what is it this time?"
"She's going on and on about the salt shakers"
"Again?" Rory asked
"Yup" than turning to Logan, he asked "Who are you"
At this point Lorelai stepped in and told Kevin "This is Logan, remember I told you that Riley's father would be coming"
"Oh so your Riley's father"
"Yeah I am" Logan said a little unsure as he felt many people staring at them.
Taking Riley from his arms Rory set her down and said to Kevin "Kevin you remember Riley right"
"Of course I do you guys are always here" He stepped forward to hug Riley but she squealed and ran behind Logan. Gripping his leg tightly she peered around looking at Kevin.
"I think you scared her Kevin" Lorelai said with a laugh, but she took in the fact that Riley seemed to truly like Logan. 'Well she should he is her father', 'But he hasn't been there for her'. The voices in Lorelai's head continue to argue. She just couldn't decide if she should like Logan or hate him.
"I didn't do anything" Kevin whined at his mother.
"Why don't you go get your father" Lorelai suggested.
"He won't let me go behind the counter anymore than you"
"Well give him the puppy eyes, he can't say no to your puppy eyes."Lorelai told him and he scrambled off, turning to Rory and Logan " He's a sucker for the puppy eyes."
This caused some tension filled laughter as they moved to sit at the table. Rory put Riley in a high chair. ' I hope Mom and Luke don't kill Logan' thought Rory. Logan's thoughts were very similar. 'She hasn't said anything to me yet, God I hope she doesn't kill me'.
"So Logan how have you been lately" Lorelai asked and Rory let out a small breath.
"Uh alright I guess, I have a lot going on right now, I mean with moving back here and Rory and Riley" he saw Lorelai cast a glance at Rory and quickly added. "Don't get me wrong I wouldn't give those two up for the world."
At this point Kirk came up to the table and looking at Logan said "Excuse me but I was wondering what you were doing here."
The table turned to look at him but before Logan could say anything Miss Patty joined Kirk as well as Babbette. "We don't want you to hurt them anymore than you already have" Miss Patty said while Babbette nodded her head in agreement.
"I would never —" Logan started but was interrupted by Lorelai.
"Ladies and Kirk, Logan is here on Rory's invitation, they have worked things out and what happened is between them, you don't need to interfere"
"Lorelai, we're just trying to protect Rory, we love the girl." Babbette said
"I can take care of myself Babbette, while I appreciate your concern it is not needed, Logan is Riley's father and he wants to be a part of her life so he will be." Rory said standing up.
"If you say so sweetie but if he hurts you again just let us know we'll take care of him" Miss Patty told her.
"Not me though I'm a fragile person and he could probably hurt me" Kirk piped in. The three turned to leave.
"Wait, I just want to say that I love Rory and Riley and always will." Logan called out to the two gossip queens and Kirk.
"You better" Babbette said before she left.
"Logan", Rory said softly.
"It's true Ace." he said just as softly.
"I know it is" She told him letting a small smile grace her lips.
"Hey now don't you two get all lovey dovey here we're in public." Lorelai said even though she was smiling. Her daughter was in love and it was just plain obvious that Logan loved her too.
"Sorry, Mom" Rory said blushing as they sat back down.
Luke came over with Kevin trailing behind. "Hey Rory, Riley,...Logan" he said Logan with a bit of disdain Making it obvious he didn't like him. Although his opinion might be changing after Logan's little confession.
"What I don't get a hello" Lorelai asked with a faint pout.
"You have been here for over an hour Lorelai" he said exasperated.
"That's beside the point" Lorelai said offended.
"Shouldn't you be at work?" Luke asked.
"Are you trying to get rid of me"
"No, Lorelai, what can I get you guys?" he asked giving up on Lorelai.
"Coffee" Roy said to which Logan agreed to "Oh and get a special for Riley"
"I'm not getting her coffee she's to young."
"You give it to Kevin"
"No your mother gives it to Kevin"
"I like coffee, Dad keeps trying to say its not good for me, but Mom drinks it and you drink it and you guys are fine" Kevin piped in
"Not helping Kevin" Luke said sending a patented gruff glare at him " Fine" he said giving in and walking away.
After eating the group split up, Rory decided to go with her Mom to the Dragonfly for some quality time together. Logan chose to take Riley and go for a walk around town and maybe take her to the park. So after dropping Kevin off at a friends the two Gilmore Girls headed to the Inn.
"So..., what's going on with you and Logan" Lorelai asked.
"Mom, I told you everything"
"No your leaving something out I know you are, I know you, don't try to hide it."
"Fine, alright we went out last night"
"I knew that what happened afterward." Lorelai asked excitedly, "Don't say, nothing" she added in a warning tone.
"I wasn't going to" Rory exclaimed to which Lorelai rolled her eyes. " Right so when we got home, well first we had to wake Finn up which took awhile since he is really hard to wake up. And you know it actually took alcohol to get the man up. Not to mention that Logan had the nerve to ask me if I had any, I mean did he seriously think I would keep alcohol in the house with a 16th month old kid running around."
"Rory your rambling" Lorelai interrupted getting impatient.
"Right sorry uhm where was I... oh yeah and then we got into an argument about giving Riley coffee, he said I shouldn't give it to her."
"What! No! he didn't" Lorelai exclaimed
"He really did, but the kid wants it and you can't deny a Gilmore coffee."
"It's a sacred rule" Lorelai agreed. "Now continue with the story".
"Yeah so then he goes to give me a kiss on the cheek like he has been for the past several week, but than he kisses me on the lips."
"Did you kiss him back" Lorelai asked eagerly leaning forward.
"Well yeah, I mean it just felt so right."Rory told her sheepishly.
"Aw hunny, you do realize you still love him right."
"I don't know mom I don't want to rush things, I just want to know he is gonna stick around and not leave."
"Its been this long sweetie I don't think he is going anywhere, not to mention he is really great with Riley and practically worships the ground you walk on."
Blushing Rory said, "Mom he does not"
"Uh huh okay you say that now" Lorelai said sarcastically as she got up.
"Its getting close to dinner time, I'm going to go find Logan and Riley so we can eat." Rory told her as she walked towards the door.
"Mmkay I'll see you in a bit"
Rory had spent the last twenty minutes looking for Logan and Riley, which is a surprisingly long time since there aren't many places to be in Stars Hollow. But Rory had checked all the common areas and was now walking down streets looking for him. She would of called him but she was enjoying the fresh air and quiet town too much. She really missed living here and was glad she wasn't to far away and could visit often. Turning onto another street Rory looked up and spotted the two she was looking for. Logan was holding Riley and looking up at the house in front of him.
"Hey you two where have you been" Rory asked as she approached the pair.
"Hey we were just looking around, this town is so peaceful." Logan told her as he put Riley back in her stroller. He quickly slipped a paper into his pocket hoping Rory hadn't noticed. But she had and was going to say something but he spoke before she could. "So is it about time for dinner"
"Uhm...yeah I was just trying to find you." Rory answered distractedly as she was trying to figure out what he could of put in his pocket.
"Well lets go then" he said slinging an arm around her shoulders and heading off up the street, pushing the stroller.
Rory's reporter instincts were kicking in and she was overly curious about what he had been doing. Especially since she had noticed that a For Sale sign was in the front yard of the house he had been looking at. She made a mental note to ask him about it later, but first she was going to discuss it with her mother.
An: What was Logan doing hmm I guess you'll have to wait and find out. Hehe mean I know but if you have any guesses let me know. Thank you for reading now please review feedback is loved greatly.
