"Honey I'm home." Logan called in a sing song voice as he entered the house a little after six pm. Rory turned and looked at him from her perch on the sofa and smiled.

"Well hey there handsome." Rory said, a grin spreading across her face as he neared her. The blonde leaned down and planted a kiss on his girlfriends lips before pulling back and kissing her stomach. "I'm sorry I'm late, traffic was bad and then I stopped and got this." Logan reached into the pocket of his suit jacket and pulled out a small slim black velvet box. Rory raised an eyebrow as she took it.

"Oooh presents."

Logan laughed and nodded. "Open it."

Rory hesitated a minute before opening the box. What she saw inside amazed her. On a delicate silver chain was a beautifully crafted silver and diamond rocket ship. Tears sprung to the overly emotional pregnant woman's eyes as she looked up at her boyfriend. "It's beautiful."

Logan let out the breath he had been holding and chuckled. "Oh good, I was worried that you wouldn't like it."

Rory laughed and examined the necklace a little closer. "Of course I like it Logan. It's beautiful. This is too much."

Logan took the necklace from Rory so that he could put it around her neck, "C'mere Ace."

Rory stood up with her back to him so that he could put the delicate piece of jewelry on her. Once he had clapsed it firmly in place he spun her around and kissed her softly. "I'm so glad that you like it Ace."

Rory smiled as she left her arms wrapped around Logan. "It's the best present you've ever gotten me." The couple stood intertwined for a few more minutes before Logan kissed the top of her head and broke the silence. "Are you hungry?"

Ace laughed and moved so that she was able to look up into his eyes. "I'm always hungry. Why?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"I talked to Paris and she said as long as we didn't run a marathon on the way out, that I could take you to dinner. So I was thinking we would go out and have dinner with the guys. That is if you are up to it."

Rory thought for a minute. As much as she wanted Logan all to herself, she had been very lucky and he had spent the majority of the the last several days with her, plus even the rest of the guys from the Life and Death Brigade had been more than sweet with her the last couple of days since she had been admitted to the hospital. A night out with all of them was probably a good idea. She nodded, "Of course. Let me shower and put something a little nicer on before we go out though."

Logan nodded as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and kissed her again. "Go ahead. Ill make reservations and round up the guys."

Rory smiled a she made her to the bathroom that ajoined the master bedroom she shared with Logan. She dug through the small amount of clothes she had brought to the apartment when they decided to do this cohabitating thing, settling on a simple black dress. Since she wasn't hiding her bump anymore, she didn't care that it was pretty form fitting. She found a pair of ballet flats in her bag and coupled that with some undergarments before making her way to the bathroom.

When she emerged the bedroom twenty minutes later, she was showered, dressed, had put on some makeup and done her hair. She was more made up then she had been in days.

Logan whistled and grinned when he turned and saw her. "Well, there's my sexy baby momma."

Rory blushed, it didn't matter how many times that Logan complimented her on her appearance or looks she still blushed each and every time. She strode over to him and grinned. "So where are we going?"

"Well, its just going to be you me, Finn and Robert. Colin is busy, but Robert said there is a little diner a little ways out of town that just opened a couple weeks ago and they have all kinds of bad for you food that seemed right up your alley."

Rory laughed. "Then I might be a little over dressed."

"Nah, keep it on. You look good."

"As you wish." Rory said.

After a few minutes, they had collected everything they needed and were headed out the door. Logan kept his hand on the small of her back as he walked her down to the car.

After a short drive, during which Rory and Logan discussed finding out if the baby was a boy or a girl and the pros and cons of both options, they arrived at the diner Robert had suggested they meet at. Without coming to a concrete decision on if they would or wouldn't find out, they got out of the car and soon found Robert and Finn emerging from one of Finn's cars.

"Well if it isn't the expecting couple." Finn said. Rory couldn't help but laugh at the comment.

"Hi Finn. Hi Robert." Rory said as the space between them closed. She hugged both of them and soon the group of four were headed towards the front door of what looked like a diner straight out of the fifties.

Once they made it inside and were seated Logan looked across the table at Robert and asked. "How did you find this place?"

"Finn had me pick him up here one night when he was really drunk. All I could think about was how Rory like thi place was. Seems like the perfect place for a reunion of most of the members of the Life and Death Brigade."

Rory looked around and smiled. "Another place found because our Finny likes his booze."

"Hey, don't pick on me. We never would of found that doughnut place or the taco stand if I didn't have a extreme liking of drinking and then getting lost."

"Hear Hear." Logan said raising his water glass in a toast.

A basket of chilli fries and another of cheesesticks was ordered as the four friends lapsed into old ways and started discussing memories of days gone by. It always happened the first time the majority of the group were together after being apart for any amount of time. Over the course of the next three hours and six cheeseburgers, two patty melts and four milkshakes the covnersation covered just about every other topic under the sun, including Finn trying to get Rory and Logan to name the baby after him regardless of if they had a boy or girl.

After paying the bill and sharing a few more jokes and memories in the parking lot, the four became two seperate groups of two, Rory and Logan got in his car and Finn and Robert made their way to Finn's and off to whatever adventure the night held for them.
