AN: For some odd reason it was really hard for me to write anything for this fandom so I thank you first of all for your patience in the release of this chapter and secondly for your understanding about the length of this chapter. I still hope you enjoy it 😊

Chapter Six – Still Surreal

Logan looked in front of him with a blank look, he really wanted to get some sleep but the fact that Rory was heading back in the morning made him nervous. He was still trying to get used to the fact that he would have to make sure to provide for his future wife and child. More than that, he was trying to think about how he could possibly mature enough to be a father.

He didn't see himself as the stereotypical father and he knew that there was one person he could perhaps talk to about becoming a dad at a young age. This was the same person who would be a grandfather whilst still youthful. He just had no idea if Rory had been able to get in contact with her dad.

He slipped out the bed and looked at her.

Were these the consequences that came when you truly loved someone? The fact that love could lead to many things and in those things a baby would be included. It didn't make him feel confident about himself but it did make him see that by his staying, he was acknowledging his love for this Gilmore girl above everything else.

"Okay," he said as he sat down watching her sleep. "Okay, it's going to be okay," he said although he knew that he was one thing that he really hated admitting to being. He was scared.

….

….

Rory arrived at the airport gate with her bag and smiled as she saw her mother there, her eyes widened as she saw that her mother was holding her dad's hand and they definitely seemed to be acting like a couple. She had only been gone less for two weeks and her mother had seemed to have abandoned all prospect of a future with Luke and gone to her father.

This put her on the defensive. Her father had left so many times that seeing him here didn't give her feelings of them being a family, it gave her the fear that something important would split them up again. More than that, Rory was being reminded of Logan. Would something derail their relationship before the child was born?

"Hey, kiddo" Christopher grinned as he noticed Rory attempting to adjust herself. "I get it, coming off a plane can be rough. I'm not going to make fun of you for not looking your best," he told her and Rory smiled weakly and then nodded.

"Yes, I'm just having a moment…must have been some kind of gremlin controlling that flight," she said as Lorelei laughed.

"Are you sure that it isn't that gremlin insi—" she turned to look at Christopher as he stared between them confused. "I mean, the gremlin inside the airport. What is it you're supposed to do with them, no water and only coffee after midnight."

"I believe it's that you don't feed them after midnight, Lor," Christopher tried to correct her but then saw the way that Rory was standing there. "Okay, now I know I missed something back there. Catch me up?" he asked Rory who delivered her mother a quick glare and then faced her father.

"I'm pregnant," she said as Christopher's arm dropped off of Lorelei's shoulder.

"You're what?" he asked with a laugh, "I don't think I heard you right here because I think I just heard you say that you were pregnant and if you're pregnant then I might as well be helping Bruce Wayne in the Batcave."

"I wonder if they could have done some work on the Batcave in Home Improvement, interesting episode idea. If they show was still on I could have pitched it," Lorelei joked.

Rory looked up and then smiled. "Dad, I'm pregnant. I just got back from London where I told Logan and explained the situation and he told me that he's more than willing to raise this baby together as a family. He understands how much journalism means to me and he's not forcing me into marriage immediately. I was hoping that you could support us," Rory said boldly.

Christopher took a look at Lorelei who seemed too relaxed about the whole situation, "You've known about this?" he asked before looking down. "Guess I don't really have a right to say anything apart from that I'm going to be with you. I wasn't here to raise you and I deeply regret that, but I have had experience from Gigi and I'm sure I'll make at least an okay grandfather."

Rory looked down, "Thanks, because I would have done it without your permission."

"That's why you're my daughter," Christopher laughed. He looked down, "Still….wow, that is quite a shock. I don't think I'm old enough to be a grandparent," he looked to Lorelei, "What do you think, Lor? Isn't this too early?"

"They aren't as young as we were," Lorelei commented, "Although, I don't know how good of a grandmother I'd be. I still feel like a kid, to think of being what my mother is to Rory for this new kid. Maybe I should get some props ready, a wheelchair or something."

Rory paused as she thought about the child in her stomach. She was expecting more of a reaction to her father but then maybe she was thinking of the parents who had not had a child of their own at sixteen. She watched her dad trying to figure out what was going on other than the obvious relationship status presenting itself to her.

"I'm glad that the two of you are onboard," Rory grinned, "because I think I need some help with the grandparent unit."

"Before we get into that, I do have to ask you something very important," Christopher said as he showed the severity of this claim in his voice, "You are going to finish school, right? I mean, I know you went on your high speed boat chase as a little extra curricula activity, but I need to know you're not quitting Yale."

"No, I'm not." Rory smiled happily, "Logan and I discussed a lot about our hopes for our new family and we're going to be living in Connecticut where I can try to find work and he says he's going to attempt to move everything to where he can do it remotely."

"Good thing he works in tech then," Christopher said. "We'll just have to make sure to get you all set up for the baby before it gets here. Did I tell you that since I'm rich I can pretty much give my grandchild the best care before they even arrive. I wonder if there's anything that I can get them now."

"Chris," Lorelei smiled, "We need to focus, there's no emergency plan for telling my parents about an early pregnancy…well apart from the plan to not tell them but I'm thinking that if we don't then the Huntzbergers will."

Rory thought about this, her grandparents weren't back from their trip yet. Was there enough time to form some kind of battle strategy before the next time she saw them?

…..

…..

Rory was a little sad that her child wouldn't experience a proper Stars Hollow childhood, but she knew that this town didn't suit Logan. She was glad that they had chosen to have something in between. As much as she knew that this child would be loved, she didn't quite see wanting to raise a child in New York itself. She wondered if Logan would want to move away from a city environment, after all new dads usually didn't get to experience a lot of dangerous expeditions.

"Hey, Dorothy!" she heard someone call out and Rory turned to see Jess standing there. She smiled as she turned to him.

"Dorothy? Becoming a little slow with the references," Rory smiled as Jess came over to her.

"I think it's you who is becoming a little slow returning here. It's because of you I've spent two days so far around this town. Luke told me that you were coming back and that the boyfriend went to merry old England, but I didn't know you'd follow him." Jess said before coming to stand before her. He frowned and then hummed as if he was contemplating something very important.

"What?" Rory asked as she looked him in the eyes, "What is it?"

"There's something different about you? You haven't become a bank robber or anything whilst I've been gone?" he asked her as Rory smiled and shook her head.

"Not to my knowledge, but I love that you see me as dangerous," she joked. "No, I've…" she looked to him knowing that if she wasn't completely honest that he'd find out later and it might be worse. "I'm pregnant," she said as his eyes widened.

"Oh, not the kind of news that I was expecting, let's begin there," Jess said weakly and Rory nodded.

"Logan and I have decided that we are keeping them and we're going to try to be a family, I'd appreciate you keeping this confidential," Rory said weakly as Jess put his hands up to protest his innocence.

"Hey, I'm not saying nothing," he told her before pointing, "You might want to talk to him though," he said as Rory turned around to see Kirk standing there.

Oh crap!
