Thank you for all the reviews, you guys are amazing.
Major props to Just Hidden because her review made me realize something important that was missing in my story.
Thanks to my beta, Lourenda.

Rory had woken up around three in the morning; the fire had died down making the frigid air in the room more noticeable.
She snuggled further into Logan's bare body in hopes of warming up. Of course, it wasn't like there were downsides to being in such a close proximity to Logan to begin with.
Logan stirred slowly before opening his eyes and looking down at her. "You cold?"
Rory nodded and attempted to bury herself even further into his side causing him to laugh. "Did it occur to you that we are only using one blanket?"
"What?"
"During our activities this evening, we kicked probably off two or three very thick blankets." Logan said kissing the top of her head before leaning down over the edge of the bed to pick up three of the blankets that had been discarded.
He spread the blankets over the bed making sure to tuck Rory in tightly under the covers, but even still Rory insisted on snuggling into his side.
Logan wrapped his arms around her waist and gently caressed the soft skin on the side of her breast. It wasn't in hopes of turning her on, but simply an act of affection.
"What are your plans once we get back to Yale?" Logan questioned.
"Steph, Paris and I sort of have this tradition that after one of us loses our virginity we go to Stars Hollow and have a movie night with my mom." Rory told him.
"I like that you, Steph and Paris are so close to your mom. I wish I had that - not many people do."
"Yeah, I'm lucky. My mom is cool." Rory smiled. 'She is pretty amazing - always there for me. I can talk to her about anything,' she thought to herself.
Suddenly Rory's smile faded away and was replaced by a pure look of dread. "Oh no!" she gasped sitting up quickly.
"Ace?" Logan cautiously asked, sitting up next to her, "What's wrong?"
"My mom!" she exclaimed quickly scrambling out of bed and throwing on one of Logan's shirts, which had been sitting on a chair, and her underwear.
"What about her?" He asked trying not to comment on how adorable she looked in his dress shirt.
"I didn't tell her! She's going to freak out on me!" Rory panicked "Can I use your cell?"
"I would let you, but Finn took it from me earlier and threw it into the pond…Don't ask, long story."
"Great and I don't have mine." She muttered before swinging the door open and leaving a baffled Logan behind.
Rory walked over to Finn's bedroom door and pounded loudly on it "Hope you're decent! I'm coming in!" she yelled.
Rory barged into Finn's room to find a flustered Stephanie and a smirking Finn scrambling to get under some sort of cover.
"Care to join for a threesome, love? I can take you places you've never been before!" He grinned widely earning a smack upside the head from Stephanie.
"What is the matter, Ror? We were sort of in the middle of something."
"Phone! I need a cell phone and since Finn threw Logan's into a pond, I decided to interrupt his evening." She spit out, while pointing furiously at Finn.
"Logan? Speaking of Logan…I see that you're wearing his shirt. Does that mean you went back for repeat of last night?" Finn smirked again.
"Finn! I'll update you on my sex life later…I need a cell phone! I didn't call Lorelai!" Rory whined.
"Oh my god! You didn't call Lorelai!" Steph said shocked. "Give her your cell, Finn!"
"It's on the desk over there, Love." He said pointing to a green flip phone that was charging.
"Thank you!" She said gratefully then smiled at her friends, "As you were."
Rory quickly exited their room; walked back into Logan's and slid back into bed.
Flipping the phone open she found a picture that was made into wallpaper that probably should have shocked her more than it did. "Finn knows Hugh Heffner?"
"As well as many of the playboy bunnies…and very personally, might I add," Logan laughed.
Rory just shook her head and dialed a familiar number.
"WHO THE HELL IS CALLING ME?" The voice said shrilly.
Rory flinched at the unhappy tone of her mother's voice but then again what did she expect? It was 3:45 in the morning. "Mom?"
"Rory? Why are you calling me at this ungodly hour?"
Rory had this whole speech planned out, she knew exactly how to lead her mother into the topic then drop the bomb, but Rory's plans flew out the window. "I had sex." She blurted out.
Logan shot up in bed with wide eyes and gave her a disbelieving look. "What the hell are you doing?" he whispered.
He'd had sex with a lot of girls and none of them ever called their mother afterwards.
"I'm sorry." Lorelai said slowly. "Did my daughter call me at 3:45 in the morning to inform me that she just had sex for the first time?"
"Actually…It wasn't for the first time." Rory muttered.
"What?" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Technically, last night was the first time."
"You had hours and hours of daylight to call me and tell me, yet you wait until 3:45 in the morning to drop Hiro-freaking-shima on me!" Lorelai yelled through the phone making Logan and Rory both wince.
"Yes." Rory muttered nervously.
"Ok." Lorelai said calmly. "For now, I want the basics. Who? Where? Were you safe? And was he nice to you?"
Rory glanced over at Logan who had a look of pure fear on his face, so she placed a gentle kiss on his lips for reassurance.
"Logan Huntzberger, at a cottage...I'm not actually sure of my exact location. I've been on the pill since the Dean incident my sophomore year of high school and he used a condom. And yes…" Rory finished, "he was extremely nice to me."
"Ok, that will put my mind at ease until you get your ass home with Steph and Paris where I can grill you about everything…and I do mean everything." She said evilly.
"Alright, Mom. Go back to sleep, I promise we'll be there as soon as possible."
"Ok, Kid. I love you."
"Love you too." Rory told her mother before hanging up the phone and setting on the bedside table.
"I'm not going to have an angry mother camping out at my dorm when we get back, am I?" Logan asked burying his head into Rory's neck.
"No. Though, you may have a small Korean girl wanting the play by play."
"Small Korean chick?"
"Lane. She's been one of my best friends since first grade." Rory explained.
"What about Steph and Paris?" Logan asked confused.
"I met Steph and Paris in the seventh grade when I transferred to private school for a better education, but Lane lived in Stars Hollow with me."
"I see. I now realize we know very little about each other."
"Let's play 20 questions!" Rory said excitedly.
Glancing over at the clock, Logan noticed it was two minutes to 4:00am. "How about we play 10 questions. Five for me, five for you?" he bargained.
"Deal."
"What's your favorite movie quote?" Logan questioned.
"Movie quote?" Rory said raising an eyebrow.
"You can tell a lot about a person from their favorite movie quote!" He defended.
"Fine…Don't tell my mother because I doubt she's let me live it down that my favorite quote was from The Wizard of OZ and not Willy Wonka, but it's 'You want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable'." Rory recited.
"Then the Tin man said he still wanted one." Logan smiled "It's one of my favorite movies."
Logan meant what he said when you can tell a lot about a person from their favorite movie quote. Rory picked that because she obviously had her heart broken before and knew it could happen again.
"What's your favorite movie quote?" Rory asked yawning as she laid her head on Logan's chest.
"'I've learned that you can't treat every situation as a life-and-death matter because you'll die a lot of times.'"
"I should have known your favorite quote would come out of the movie Van Wilder."
"Hey! That's insightful…besides it's not like I told you to write it down."
Rory laughed sleepily as her eyes began to slowly droop but quickly flutter open again.
"Let's go to sleep, Ace. We'll talk more tomorrow." Logan said kissing the top of her head gently before getting comfortable under the covers and drifting to sleep.
-----------------------------
They had woken up around noon to find that Steph, Finn, Colin and Paris were all still asleep. "I'll wake them up, you start the coffee." Rory told him.
Rory walked over to Finn's door and cautiously opened it, peaking in she found Steph sleeping with her head on Finn's chest and Finn's arm wrapped protectively around her.
Rory smiled and quickly exited the room, only to return minutes later with Finn's camera phone.
Taking a quick picture of the sleeping couple and set the phone back down. Rory knocked loudly on the door. "Rise and Shine! We're leaving in two hours!" She yelled officially waking them up.
Rory repeated the process of Colin and Paris, minus the picture.
Within an hour and a half everyone was up, showered and packed. Exiting the cabin Rory stood by the car and looked at it.
"Is it strange that I am going to miss this place even though I have no idea where it is?" Rory asked Paris.
Paris just smiled "You went through a pretty big milestone here, so I think it's ok to be a little sad about leaving."
"It's going to be different when we get back to Yale." Rory said quietly. "He'll be surrounded by his usual legion of beautiful women and I…I'll be forgotten."
"Ror-" Paris began to argue but Rory cut her off.
"No, Paris. I know it's the truth." Rory said giving her a sad smile "The words that were said this weekend were just words. It was like a summer romance only in the fall."
"Ready to go?" Colin called before Paris could try and convince Rory that Logan did in fact have true feelings for her.
Normally, Paris wasn't a gossip. She hated knowing outside information because it caused drama and if there was one thing Paris hated it was drama.
However, this was different; someone was messing with one of her friends. So like the good reporter she is, she decided to dig a little and find out just how true Huntzberger's feelings were. And who better to ask then one of his best friends.
Paris had pretty much used sex as her weapon of choice and Colin became a wealth of information.
From what Paris understood Logan had only really had strong feelings for one other girl, she was a junior while he was a freshman. She shot him down and then proceeded to make fun of him in front of the whole school.
Colin told her that Logan never wanted to feel rejected again so he decided to become the reject-or instead of the reject-ee. Well, at least until a certain wide-eyed brunette waltzed into his life.
"Paris! You Coming?" Steph yelled out of the SUV window.
She nodded and walked over to get into the backseat next to Colin.
Finn began to drive and soon pulled onto the expressway, each respective couple was talking amongst themselves.
Colin and Paris were having a calm discussion about a book they had both read, Finn was telling Steph a story from his high school days and Logan and Rory were continuing their game of twenty questions.
Rory was having fun learning more about Logan. His favorite vacation spot was Italy, he had an older sister named Honor, he'd been kicked out of numerous boarding schools because of pranks he pulled, he was very close to his grandmother who had passed away, and his favorite food was lasagna.
Even though she knew that knowing this information would be pointless, she liked learning things about him. She wondered if when they'd pass on campus if he'd even acknowledge that she was there or would he just brush past her with a girl hanging from his neck. She inwardly sighed; she had no idea what she got herself into.
Though he was enjoying learning more about her, he noticed she had avoided talking about what would happen once they got back to Yale. He'd make a comment about trying a restaurant and she'd give him a sad smile and nod. He had mentioned her coming over to his dorm to watch a movie she hadn't seen and she just shrugged.
Logan could tell something was on Rory's mind. He didn't want to press an issue that would upset her, but at the same time it was driving him crazy not knowing.
This was a transitional chapter; it's been sort of calm the last few chapters and we can't have that, now can we?
