Chapter Thirteen – Living the Life of Luxury

Logan stood in the large house with his arms around Rory. He had always been used to the best things and with his father sorting to how he would be working remotely, he had more time to spend with his girlfriend. It only seemed natural that they would go for the best, finest things for their child. "So, what do you think, ace?" he asked her and Rory hummed.

"I feel as if I should be serving high tea with scones and those little hats that they wear. Definitely a Downton Abbey vibe," she commented and Logan paused. He wasn't sure what she meant by that but he hoped that it wasn't all bad. Rory had grown up in a completely different environment to him and he had wanted her to be happy that their child could have the luxuries that she didn't.

"Is that good?" he asked and Rory sighed as she walked over to the wall.

"Whatever you'd like to do but do you have enough for this place?" she asked as her fingers spread against the wall. The house was a perfect distance between Yale and Stars Hollow whilst also being in a nice school district for when their child grew up.

"Leave the money to me, ace" Logan chuckled and Rory bit her lip. "I can afford it and in this type of house, we'll be able to really give our child a great start. Is it a little too big for you, though?" he hesitated and Rory shook her head. Somehow she would have to get used to something like this. The child would have a lot of places to play and to run and to enjoy being…a child. She had had a shed at an inn and her mother.

"Hill House," Rory whispered under her breath, "You're as hard to get into as heaven."

"And yet," Logan winked as she heard Rory repeat that quote to herself. "It's not that hard. We can have this house, we can enjoy this house," he attempted to tell her and Rory froze, trying to smile but it just seemed so new. She would have to find ways of building a home out of these empty hallways. "This house can be ours, Ace, I just need you to give me the go-ahead."

Rory walked over to the window where she could look out at the yard and the swimming pool. She smiled as she imagined all the activities that they could do out there with their child. She turned to Logan and nodded. "It's a dream home," she said and Logan smiled, pushing a hand through his blond hair.

"It's only a dream with you in it," he told her and then took out his phone to call the real estate broker. Rory looked into the distance, her child, it seemed, would be able to have a better childhood than her but hopefully there would still be a loving community. Maybe she didn't have the luxury that she could give to this child, that Logan could give to this child, but she had the residents of Stars Hollow. Hopefully nothing would cause her child to feel disconnected from the world the way that she had when she had left her childhood home.

"It's great to have a full table for dinner, isn't it, Richard?" Emily commented as she ate the pheasant meal in front of her. Rory had eaten some of it but it was obvious that her mind was elsewhere. "I know," Emily hummed, "Pheasant is a dry, rare bird. If I had known your aversion to it," she told Rory who looked up at her blankly.

"Sorry, grandma" she said before eating more and Logan took her hand, squeezing it as he held it in his own. She ate more and Logan turned to Lorelei and Christopher. Maybe they would be easier to tell first.

"We bought a house," he said as Emily's eyes widened and she turned to Richard quickly. He opened his mouth, his jaw staying open in shock. Lorelei turned to them remembering when they had been planning to purchase a house for her and Luke. They couldn't have been thinking the same thing for Rory, could they? They should have known about the money that Logan tossed around.

"I would have helped with that," Christopher said as he looked at the two of them. It would definitely have been less expensive than if he had bought her a castle. He had often neglected providing Rory with monetary goods when she was younger and now that he was loaded, he had wanted to spoil her.

"Is it far?" Lorelei asked.

"Not too far," Rory said and Logan squeezed her shoulder and gave a soft kiss to her cheek.

"For now it isn't too far, who knows where we're going to live when Rory graduates from Yale and has those job offers pouring in. If we need to relocate and buy another house on penthouse then we'll do that. This is just for right now," he said and Rory nodded.

"Are you okay with this?" Lorelei asked her daughter. Rory had never seemed one who wanted the finer things that Logan could give her. She was very sentimental and wanted a tight-knit family. Hopefully there would be a good community for the child to grow up in but to Lorelei there was really nothing that could compare to Stars Hollow.

"I want our baby to have everything they need," she smiled as she placed a hand over her stomach. Logan watched her nervously but he knew that she was happy. It would take a lot of time to get used to living in such a big place, but he knew that she was happy and that's what mattered most.

"Once again, we're unable to buy a house," Emily sighed.

"Yes, you should think about how other people would want to give you nice presents," Richard commented and Rory turned to her grandparents and then to her parents.

"Thank you for thinking of buying us a house but we wanted to do it together. Thank you though, it would have made a…thank you," Rory said gratefully and Lorelei took a sip of her drink and laughed softly.

"Are you really getting annoyed because they bought a house before you could put down the money for a deposit?" Lorelei chuckled and rolled her eyes, "talk about first world problems."

Emily looked between them and then focused on her meal. Richard leaned forwards as he looked at the young couple. Rory was staring at her plate feeling self conscious about this conversation. They had bought a house because they had wanted to make steps forward with the nursery and make sure they were prepared for the baby but her mother and even her had always had to borrow money to pay for things. Their house had almost even fallen down.

"I wonder if there's a place in your house for a library. I mean, a child of the two of you must be educated and with Rory's love for books. Maybe we could pay to have it decorated," he proposed and saw Emily's excitement at that.

"Yes, of course," she said eagerly, "and furniture can be quite expensive. You'll need only the best interior designer, a team of them actually. I'll make some calls and they should come before you two even have time to settle in."

"That would be nice Grandma bu-" Rory hesitated but Logan cut her off.

"We'd appreciate that, Emily, thank you," he said before taking a few more bites from his plate. "The meal really is delicious." Emily smiled happily and Lorelei rolled her eyes. Of course her parents would have to play a hand in everything and her grandchildren would probably be told for years to come that their great grandmother had bought this and that when she had decorated the house.

"Nothing too expensive," Rory tried to add in, "Babies can be messy and if any of the items are too nice. I wouldn't want for you to come and see things torn or drawn on or with substances on it," she said and Emily shook her head.

"Then you'll replace it with new things, besides I want to see my adorable great grandchildren enjoying life. A happy childhood really brings joy to a family, I'm sure that you know that, Logan" Emily grinned and Logan nodded in response.

Lorelei stared down and mouther, "what do you know about that, mother?"
