Sorry it took so long to update, I was in Washington. Here's the long awaited chapter without furthur delay
Anger
"Logan, can I talk to you, alone?" she begged
"Sure, our room's open, I told them they could only destroy the living room" Logan led Rory into their bedroom, "So, whats up? Something terrible happen at the Gilmore's again? Who are you suppose to marry this time? Prince William?" Logan tried to make Rory smile
"Logan, I have something to tell you. Something really big"
"Ok..." Logan said uneasily"Logan..." Rory took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant" Logan stared at her, no emotion registering on his face. "Logan, say something" Rory pleaded, on the verge of tears
"I...I...I'll be back later" Logan walked out of the bedroom in a daze, Rory ran after him, in time to see him walk in a trance out of the apartment.
"Mom" Rory cried into her cellphone
"Whats wrong? Did Logan not take it well?" Lorelai was for once, completely serious
"I don't know" Rory sobbed, "He just stared at me, then he said he would be back later, then he just walked out"
"It will be ok sweetie. He'll come back. The poor guy is in shock, just give him time"
"I'm ruining everything, everyones plans, everyones life" Rory choked
"Don't you even think that. Everybody better be damn proud of you. You are a great kid, and this kid will be great too. Call Steph, go to a party, or just take a nap. Do something to get your mind off things. Look on the bright side, now you don't have to be with Tristan, you can be with Logan like you're ment to be" Lorelai told her hysterical daughter
"Thanks mom, your the best. I would be a wreck without you"
"Not like you are currently stable now"
Rory tried to laugh, "Bye mom, I'm just going to take a nice long bath to calm my nerves"
"Good idea, call me tomorrow. Bye hun"

"Rory?" Logan called into the dark room. The apartment was silent, the only light was the moon shinning through the bay windows. He saw her silhouette lying with her back towards him.
"Huh?" Rory rolled over, sleepily
"Rory, I am so sorry"
"Logan" Rory yawned
"I am a total jerk. I just walked out on you. Forgive me? I was just in shock. I learned to do commitment, but I never did anything so permanent as become a father"
"It's okay, I would have been in shock to" Rory forgave him
"So, do you know what it is?"
"It's kinda early to tell if its a boy or girl, but Steph's gonna take me over to the doctors office in a few weeks. It's due sometime in the summer"
"You know that I'm all for this, right? I want you to be happy, I want this baby to be happy, our baby"
"That means a lot"
"I'll graduate this year, get a job. You'll have the baby, then go back to school. I can take care of the baby, plus my parents will make sure that it is the most pampered kid around" Logan chuckled
"Shoot! Your parents!" Rory sat straight up, fully awake
"Shit" Logan cursed quietly before saying, "Don't worry about them now, we'll talk in the morning"
"Okay, night Logan" Rory gave him a quick kiss
"What kind of goodnight was that?" Logan gave her a kiss that was more his style "Night Ace"

"Rory!" Bill drew out the word
"What Bill, I really have a headache" Rory slumped in her chair, "Is this about your article? Just let Paris review it"
"No, uh, Rory, I think you should read this" Bill had an eager look on his face as he handed her a newspaper clipping
Rory looked at him, "Why are you standing over my shoulder?"
"I really want to see the look on your face when you read it" Bill grinned
Rory glanced at the article, her face grew grim with anger. "Oh, it's going to be a quiet simmering anger" Bill said to himself, "disappointing" he walked back to his desk
Rory recovered from her shock and grabbed the phone on her desk, "Logan!" she exclaimed when he answered
"Hey Ace, what's up?"
"Your parents! I cannot believe them! Well your father at least"
"Fuck, what did he do?"
"Did you read the Wall Street Journal today?"
"I normally just read the local paper, or go online for the news, so no"
"I didn't either. Bill, from the Yale Daily News, brought an article in it to my attention a few moments ago"
"Uh-oh" Logan said knowingly
"Your father seems to have been interviewed for an article about the future female generation
of journalists"
"I think I know where this is going"
"Let me quote him, "There is much talent present in the youth of this country today. The female journalist at American colleges are very bright. I hope many of them will succeed. It makes me sad that so much of this talent can be wasted. Rory Gilmore, from the Yale Daily News at Yale, for example...","
"Damn" Logan cursed
"was an up-and-coming young journalist, who now will probably end up as a waitress. Though I never really met Miss Gilmore, I heard many things about her. She was never the best journalist, but she tried her best. She might have gone far with her stubbornness, but now, still in college, she is pregnant and throwing her life away. What is the youth of today coming to? Before long, every young girl in college or younger, will be throwing what promise, large or little, they have. I fear for the future female generation of journalists"
"Oh my god, I cannot believe him" Logan cursed some more
"The rest of the article goes on to talk about other girls in college who are angelic in every way and the type of girl he would love to have as a daughter"
"Wait, give me some of the names" Logan instructed her, angry and thoughtful
"Roxie Boswell, Brittany Van Smith, Trixie Hilton..."
"All the girls my parents tried to set me up with before, all of the trophy wives. No brain what so ever, but money and a pretty face. Each one of them I dumped after the first date"
"Of all the nerve..."
"This really isn't met as an article, it's a message. My father's way of telling me he's disappointed. He knows I wouldn't listen if he called or tried to talk to me, so he attacked you"
"He knows I'm pregnant!"
"But he doesn't know that you have a plan, that we have a plan. He thinks your going to be a no-body drop out, he doesn't know how smart and strong you are. Don't listen to a thing he says"
"He might be right"
"Don't even think that"
"I mean, he thinks that I'll end up a waitress. With the article he wrote, everyone will think I'm irresponsible, and that I have no talent. Nobody will want to hire me"
"I have some strings I can pull, don't worry"
"Ok, thank you"
"Don't worry Ace, just forget about this, go back to work. Bye Ace"
"Logan..."
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
Logan smiled, "Love you Ace"
"Bye Logan, see you later"
"Bye Ace"

"Oy mate, why the long face?" Finn said, walking into the apartment where Logan sat on the couch, beer bottle in hand, "Have a bad night?"
"My father wrote a not so nice article which mentioned Rory in not so nice terms"
"But you can fix that"
"I did, but that was yesterday"
"And..." Finn was slightly confused
"Rory never came home"
I luv cliffies. Review!
