Chapter 29
Martha's Vineyard is a beautiful place and the Huntzberger Compound is amazing, the house is beautiful and the property is unmatchable. Emily really out did herself on this party; it truly was like a wedding. There was a giant tent set up in the center of a large open field along side the house with all the tables, a dance floor and full band. Between the Huntzberger's and the Gilmore's there is to be about 250 people attending the event. What started out as a nice graduation party is turning into the gala event of the season.
"Grandma, where are you?" Rory hollered into the house as the six of them arrived
"I am in the kitchen" she said while walking out to the foyer "People are so incompetent, really how difficult is it to set up for a party, when it's suppose to be their job" Emily ranted to the no one in particular
"Hi Grandma" Rory said hugging her grandmother "Everything outside looks wonderful"
"Hey Mom, it all looks beautiful" Lorelai said stepping towards her mother.
Emily pulled her daughter into a hug and said congratulations and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Everyone was extremely taken aback by Emily's actions.
"Um thanks Mom are you feeling alright?" she asked confused
"Of course I am! Christopher come here." she said pulling him into a hug "It's about time" is all she said "Have you called your mother, I should call her" Emily stated
"OH shit" Chris said pulling out his cell phone
"I take that as a no" Emily said saying hello to the rest of the group
The all walked into the house and put their bags into their designated rooms, there is five bedrooms in the house so they all get their own rooms, but, Paris and Finn have to fight over the last one.
They were all sitting out on the patio awaiting lunch and discussing the party and the wedding, and then they felt it was time to tell Richard and Emily about London.
"Grandma, Grandpa, there is something Logan and I need to tell you" Rory began
"Really?" Emily said knowingly
"No, I am not pregnant" Rory deadpanned and rolled her eyes
"Oh of course not dear, what is it you needed to tell us" Emily said recover from her obvious Faux pas
"Emily, I gave Rory her gift for her graduation and we are going to Asia for six weeks" Logan said trying to keep the conversation on course
"How wonderful" Richard said "Asia is beautiful, you will love it Rory"
"After Asia, we have to move for the business" she said
"Oh really, where? New York?" Emily asked
"No, London" Logan said
"Oh My God, Richard!" Emily exclaimed "How long do you have to go?" she said
"A year" Rory said "We are leaving on August 15th" she finished
"So that's why Lorelai and Christopher are getting married so fast" Richard realized
"Yes" Lorelai said
"OK, well we have a long night ahead of us, so I am going up to our room to rest" Emily said walking away from the group obviously upset, Rory followed her when she got to the room where her grandparents were staying and knocked on the door.
"Come in" she said from inside the room
"Grandma" she said sitting next to her on the bed "I know you are upset, but Logan and I want to go now" she began explaining
"Why now?" she asked
"I was very upset when he told me that we have to go either this year or next and he suggested this year, to get it over with" she continued "His reasoning was something I never even considered"
"What did he say?"
"well, we have been married for a year and he said what if we waited until next year and I somehow, unplanned mind you, get pregnant, we still have to go to London." Her explaining seemed to be putting Emily at some ease "Logan said he would you rather go now when it's just the two of us than next year when it's a possible that there could be a baby or expecting a baby."
"I see" Emily said with a slight glimmer of glee in her eye
With that being settled everyone went off to their separate rooms to prepare for the party ahead of them. Rory already changed into her pajamas and stood in their master suite staring at her dress for that evening, the party was now a black tie party, which is much more than Rory wanted.
"It's a beautiful dress" Logan observed
"I fell in love with it when I first saw it" she replied walking toward him and wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him tight. He kissed the top of her head and hugged her tight.
"I love you so much" she said "I hope everything will work out this year"
"It will be fine, I promise." He said
"What about Christmas? Are we going to come home for Christmas?"
"Of course we will, we will probably be home from mid December to after the new year." He said reassuring her "and I am sure we will have to come back to the states for trips to check on other papers, like we do now"
"So it won't be that bad and whoever wants to come visit can, right?" she asked
"Whoever wants to come can come, the more the merrier" he said "So you have to tell me how did you calm down your grandmother?" he asked curious and trying to change the subject. She broke out of their embrace after a final squeeze and walked over to the bed pulled back the covers and climbed in.
"Want to join me for a little afternoon siesta" she said shyly patting the bed
He stripped down to his boxers and jumped into bed, leaning over and kissing Rory soundly on the lips.
"God I love you" she said catching her breath
"I love you too" he said attacking her lips again deepening the kiss and allowing all their feeling to come out in that kiss, when the need for air became over whelming he began on her neck, she left out a soft moan which only encouraged him to continue, she arched her back into him and he pulled her tank top off to reveal her exposed breasts kissing her lips then left a trail of kisses down her neck and attacking them.
"Oh god, I've missed you" he said, not realizing how long it had been since they had made love, as he brushed his lips across her stomach and played with the waist of her pajama pants before pulling them off and tossing them on the floor with her tank top. They continued on this path until they couldn't take anymore, she slid his boxers down with the help of her feet her grabbed her leg and pulled it up and entered her a wave of pleasure engulfed them both, forgetting about everything and everyone else until they both cried out in ecstasy collapsing onto the bed. Logan kissed her sweetly on the cheek and both fell asleep.
An hour later Logan woke up and looked over to his wife who was still sleeping soundly; he looked over at the time, they need to get up and get ready.
"Ace" he said in a whisper
"MMMMHHHMM" she mumbled incoherently
"We need to get up and start to get ready" he said into her ear
"What" she said
"The party" he explained
"Oh" she relented
With that they both got out of bed and went into the bathroom, Rory went into the shower and Logan began to shave; 45 minutes later Rory was putting the finishing touches on her make-up.
"You are stunning" he said looking at her in her Armani strapless gown her hair was pulled up in loose curls on top of her head. "That dress is amazing on you" he said kissing her neck "I have something for you"
"What did you do?" she said firmly
"I didn't buy anything, I promise" he said pulling a black box from the dresser "This was my Great Grandmother's it was passed down through the Huntzbergers and now I would like you to have it" he explained and opened the box to reveal a stunning diamond necklace.
"Oh my god" she said feeling like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman "Logan, its amazing"
He took it out of the box and began explaining it "It's a Harry Winston necklace with 20 or so emerald-cut diamonds framed by pear shaped and square-cut diamonds, we never really knew the exact sizes or clarity, my great grandfather bought it when Harry Winston first opened. (AN: I have now idea if the times coincide, so for the sake of the story go with it)
"It's amazing" she whispered as she fingered the necklace looking in the mirror.
"Listen Ace, I know you are not use to all of this, just know, I don't want you to change; I love you for who you are and where you come from. OK" he said "I don't want you to be one of the stepford housewives" he finished and kissed her cheek "It's a family necklace that I felt you deserved to wear" he could see in her eyes that it was a bit overwhelming
"Thanks Logan that means and a lot and I love it because it's our families" she said giving him a smile and a kiss "We better get down there" she said
He grabbed her hand and walked out the door to meet everyone on the patio as they agreed.
"There you are, oh my god, Rory you got the necklace" Steph screamed
"What do you me the necklace" Rory asked
"That's the Huntzberger Necklace" Steph said "That is one of their prized jewels"
"Logan just gave it to me" she said shyly
"It's beautiful" Steph said "Now onto other things, you two had a little afternoon fun didn't you" she teased Rory
"What?" Rory said surprised
"You aren't exactly quiet and this is an old house with thin walls" Steph said with a smirk
"Oh my god" Rory turned a deep shade of red
"Rory" Lorelai said "Why on earth are you so red? Could it have anything to do with you and your husband's afternoon 'delight'" she teased
"Did everyone hear?" she said in a whisper
"I think so" Lorelai said patting her daughter on her back "Nice necklace" she added
Two hours later they were enjoying the party talking to all the right people and now they were enjoying a dance.
"Having fun?" Logan asked
"Believe it or not I am" she said surprising herself
"Me too" he said spinning her around the floor
"I still can't believe everyone heard us this afternoon" she said a slight blush crept across her face as she remembered. "Every once in a while my grandparents look at me funny" she added
"Now you are just crazy, they are not looking at you funny" he said laughing at his wife's paranoia. "Listen we are married, and if they want a great grandchild, we need to practice" he said "A Lot" he added kissing he cheek
"You are incorrigible" she said laughing as Logan spun her around, they looked like the perfect couple.
By the time the party had cleared out it was one in the morning and the gang had decided to change and go into the hot tub. Sitting in the hot tub was Rory, Logan, Colin, Steph, Paris, Doyle, Finn and Rosemary. Relaxing and enjoying the slight chill of the June night air.
"I still can't believe you guys will be gone for a year!" Rosemary said taking a sip of her champagne
"Yeah, what ever will we do without our resident hound dogs" Finn said
"Uh, Finn, That's you" Logan pointed out "Hey Doyle, how's the Times?" Logan had set up Doyle with a job as Editor after the acquisition.
"Great, everything is running like clockwork" Doyle said
"So Rory and Logan, are you two taking over another paper in London?" Steph asked
"No nothing like that, we have to work in the Huntzberger Publishing and Media offices for a while, you know make sure the office is still running properly, then after the year is up we will only have to go for a week here and there" Rory explained "You guys can come visit when ever you want" she added "Really, open invite"
The rest of the night was spent talking of old times and future plans. The next morning there was a breakfast buffet set up with thermoses of coffee, everyone was quiet some wearing sunglasses to block out the bright summer sun.
The next few days were extremely hectic, the day after the party they headed back to New Haven to finish up some of the packing for their trip and getting ready for the movers that Steph and Colin would be handling.
The night before the trip they all met up at the Dragonfly for dinner, and fell into wedding talk, no one mentioned London; Rory and Logan liked it that way they wanted to spend a quiet night with their friends with out thinking of leaving for a year.
After all the food was gone and everyone was slightly toasted Rory and Logan said good bye to everyone and climbed into the limo to head back to the Huntzberger Estate in Harford.
The next morning as they were boarding their plane Rory said "I am so excited" as she was leaning her head onto Logan's Shoulder
"Me too, you are really going to love it there" Logan mumbled into her hair and kissed the top of her head. They were both very tired because they had to get up extremely early to get their flight.
The phone rang on the plane and Logan answered it, "Yes"
"If you and Mrs. Huntzberger would take your seats, we will begin to taxi out and take off" the pilot said
"Great, Thank you"
"We will let you know when we have reached cruising altitude so you two can go into the bedroom to sleep" the pilot told Logan
"Thank you again" Logan said and hung up the phone
"Come on, buckle up" Logan said pulling Rory into the seat next to him "Next stop China!" he said happily
