"But an I Dream of Jeannie marathon is just so much more fun." Rory said matter of factly from her perch on one of the beds.
"It's not Twilight Zone, but it'll do."Logan repled after a minute.
"So, what's the plan for the funeral?" Rory asked after a few minutes without any speaking except for what was coming from the television program.
"I need to go to Hartford in a couple of days and see what arrangements he had made when he did his will a few years ago." He shrugged. "I'm sure he will be buried in the family plot, everything is probably all planned. I just have to say when and where, and the hoards of people who will pretend like they cared about him will show up."
Rory wanted to laugh at the last statement but because of the situation, she chose not to. "Do you want me to...?"
"Only if you want to. I don't want to subject you to my mother." Logan cut her off and answered.
"Will she actually show up for the funeral?" Rory asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course she will. There will be people there. People she can put on a show for. Shira Huntzburger will for sure be there." He gave a disgusted grunt at the end of his statemnt and sighed. "Let me find out exactly when it is going to be, and we will go from there. I don't want to put you under any extra stress."
"That sounds good to me. And I promise, I'll be okay. If I could face Mitchum, I'm sure I can handle your mother too." She shrugged. "Plus it would probably make sense for a Gilmore to be present at the funeral."
"I'm sure your grandmother is on the list of people to invite." Logan responded. Deciding he would rather talk about anything besides what they were currently discussing he glanced at his Apple Watch and got an idea. "Hey Ace, it's still pretty early. Well by my standards at least. Do you feel like going for a walk?"
"Uh, sure. But no where is going to be open."
"Oh Ace, I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to go for a walk with you."
"Okay." Rory said, as she pushed out of the bed and slipped her feet into her shoes. Pulling a oversized blue hoodie with YALE stamped across the front in bold black letters she smiled. "Recognize this?" She asked pointing at the hoodie.
"I knew you took it!" Logan said with a chuckle. "Man that things old. I can't believe you still wear it."
"I usually wear it to bed. I found it in a box when I moved back here." Rory responed as she waited for Logan to pull his jacket on.
"Ready if you are Ace." Logan said a few seconds later.
OOO
"I love how quiet Stars Hollow is at night." Logan said as they walked slowly through the town square several minutes later.
"I guess you don't get much of this do you?" Rory asked quietly as she glanced up at him.
"Not in London, or in New York." He said, almost sadly. Shrugging, he added. "Although, there will only be one more trip to London to collect my things and I guess tie up whatever loose ends I need to."
"Won't you have to take control of the company?" Rory asked, until that moment she hadn't really thought about what would happen to the Huntzburger company or holdings now that Mitchum had died.
"I haven't even discussed it with anyone. I'm not sure I wan't the company. I saw what it did to my dad. I don't want that to happen to me. I won't let that happen to me." Logan stated, the last part coming out maybe a little more sternly than he had inteneded it to.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just didn't know how that would work." Rory said, a little surprised at the change in the tone of his voice.
"It's not your fault. It's just I would rather talk about just about any other subject under the sun." Logan said, with a smile.
"Got it. So another subject. Uhhhhh." Rory laughed. "What do you want to do tomorrow?"
"I'd love for just one normal day." Logan said as they approached the gazeebo and he climbed the steps. Rory watched for a second before joining him inside the gazeebo. Logan leaned against the railing and smiled as she took the place beside him. He slowly put his arm around her and pulled her closer. "Think we can handle that? One normal day?"
"Well, I don't know how normal any of this is. But we can try." Rory responded as she felt herself warm at his touch. "We'll start off with a breakfast at Luke's. Then go by and see Lane, Zach and the the twins. She's been dying to see my bump since she found out I was pregnant." She paused to laugh. "Then we can go to the cat store, go see the giant slinky and play putt putt." She laughed yet again. "There's really not a whole lot to do in Stars Hollow."
"That actually sounds perfect. I think the last time I played Putt Putt, was when we did it on the roofs with Colin, Finn and Robert." Logan smirked, remembering the night that he had reunited the Life and Death Brigade to take Rory out for a night on the town. The night that had resulted in her getting pregnant.
"Haven't taken any more girls in steampuck gear for midnight rooftop sports?" Rory teased as she looked up at him.
"There's only one girl in steampunk gear that I'd even dare to take on the rooftop." He replied matter of factly, before leaning down and kissing her softly.
"She must be lucky." Rory said simpy after she broke their kiss.
"I guess we should be going back." Logan said after several minutes and a few more kisses. As much as he didn't want the moment they were sharing to end, he knew that he needed to get her back to the house. He straightened up and held his hand out for Rory to take. Hand in hand they silently walked back to the house, there were no words that needed to be said in that moment.
Rory coudln't keep a smile off her face the whole way back to the house. And after she and Logan had taken turns showering, and spent a few minutes talking she crawled into one of the two beds set up in her room feeling like maybe raising a baby with Logan would end up working out. And perhaps even better than she had ever imagined it would.
