Logan Huntzberger closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat. He was on a plane, traveling from London to Hartford. He begged for sleep to come so he wouldn't have to be reminded of his last conversation, no, argument with his father.

"You cannot do this Logan! I will not let my son be disgraced. You're not leaving Odette for Rory Gilmore and your illegitimate unborn child!" Mitchum shouted.

Logan laughed half-heartedly. "You're wrong, because that's exactly what I'm doing. And you don't have any say in it. You seem to forget I'm a thirty four year old man who can make his own decisions."

It wasn't until Rory entered her third trimester that Logan finally realized what he really wanted. She flew all the way to London to tell him she was pregnant in person. He was in shock and he told her he would offer emotional, financial or any kind of support she needed. Rory told him that she would allow him to support her and the baby financially and she would allow him to be involved in the child's life, he could visit whenever he wanted. She didn't want a romantic relationship with him. Rory would continue living with her mother and Luke. They had immediately offered to change the spare bedroom into a nursery.

When Logan last saw Rory, they had agreed to end their affair. It was time, they both knew it. He missed her deeply but he continued to plan for his upcoming nuptials. When she came to him and told him about the baby they had made, he started to deeply regret letting her go. Odette was oblivious to his lengthy affair with Rory and he did feel guilty. She found out about Rory and the baby when she overheard him on the phone one day, when Rory was about five months along.

From there, things became hectic and complicated. Odette finally admitted that she was only engaged to Logan for the family businesses merging benefits, she never really loved him. Logan felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He wasn't in love with Odette either, no matter how many times he tried to tell himself that their relationship was great and things would be fine, it didn't change the facts. Logan didn't want to be in a loveless marriage, a sham. He wanted Rory; he wanted to be with her and their baby. Even after ten years, he never stopped loving her. He believed that fate had brought them back together. Even though they went about their relationship the wrong way by cheating on their significant others, they were meant to be together, Logan truly believed that. It sounded pathetic and messed up in his head, but he knew he wanted to be with the only women he had ever loved.

Mitchum smirked. "Did you forget that I was the one who saved your ass when you lost all that money and couldn't find a job? I allowed you to come into the family business even though you had shamed the Huntzberger name. I found you a nice girl who understands this family and what it takes to be a part of it."

'I found you a nice girl' Logan quoted. "Do you hear what that sounds like? It sounds like an arranged marriage… yeah, I went along with it at first because I couldn't find another way out of the business and I was starting to feel like I'd never find another girl to love… but then Rory reappeared in my life and Odette was pushed farther and farther to the back of my mind. Everything was different when Rory came back into my life. I wasn't miserable anymore and I realized I never stopped loving her." His voice broke.

"Oh please. You just felt high from your little affair. I felt the same way when I was with other women early in our marriage… but I came around and I made the Huntzberger name a well-known one. Rory is someone who the old you thought you were in love with, Loagn. Odette is your future. You will only have success if you marry her. Unfortunately Rory is pregnant with your child." Mitchum grimaced. "You should have given her money to take care of that. Now you'll have to give her money to keep quiet. I can't have that child grow up and try to steal our fortune."

"Take care of it?" Logan shouted. "That baby is mine. He or she may not have been planned, but I already love them and I love Rory." He sighed. "Odette has known for months and she admitted that she doesn't want to marry me either. I think she has someone she left in France." He rubbed his face. "I have two interviews set up in New York and I am moving back there. You can't stop me and I don't want to listen to anything you have to say. I will not listen to you insult the woman I love and our unborn child. Goodbye Dad."

Logan turned around and walked out the door. He heard Mitchum say one last sentence: "You're making a huge mistake, Logan."

Logan sighed softly and opened his eyes and sat up straight. He saw the flight attendant carrying a tray of drinks and raised his eyebrows. Maybe a drink or two could help him forget his father. He had several hours left on this flight and he would rather think about seeing Rory again. They had talked on the phone a few times since she went back to the States after telling him about the pregnancy.

Once he had gotten his drink, he sat back and looked out the window. He prayed that the flight would go by faster than usual. He had never been able to sleep on airplanes and his mind was racing, his thoughts scrambled. Rory didn't even know he was coming and coming to stay. She has a big surprise coming. He thought.


Once Lorelai managed to collect herself and stop crying, she and Luke watched the baby for a few more minutes then whispered a soft goodbye to him. Lorelai walked ahead of Luke and he had to speed walk to catch up.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Out of the hospital, I have to call my mother." She said, her voice lacking emotion.

Luke just nodded although Lorelai wasn't looking at him.

They made their way to the main entrance and walked outside. The sun had started to rise, Luke noticed. Time had moved on although it felt like it had frozen when he saw Rory so still in the hospital bed.

Lorelai already had her cell phone up to her ear. Thirty seconds passed before she spoke, "Hi Mom."

"Yeah, I know it's early, but I'm sorry, I have some bad news." She sucked in a breath.

… "Yeah, it's Rory and the baby. Rory was in a car accident and." Lorelai took another shaky breath. "And she's in a coma. The baby is okay, it's a boy. You have a great grandson."

Lorelai was silent as she listened to whatever Emily was saying. Luke watched as her expression stayed the same. She looked exhausted and devastated. His heart ached and he put a hand on her back, absently rubbed it gently.

"Okay. I'll see you in a few hours. Bye." Lorelai ended the call and slid the phone into her jeans pocket.

Luke pulled her to his side, wanting to somehow comfort her. He didn't know what to do or say.

Luke's presence through all of this did help Lorelai. She knew there was no way he'd leave her side and there were no words to describe how much she loved him for that. She was suddenly reminded of her father's first heart attack in 2007. Christopher was her husband and he wasn't there but Luke showed up like nothing had happened. Luke would always be there for Lorelai and Rory, no matter what their relationship was. She didn't know was she was comparing Christopher and Luke still, ten years after her first marriage had dissolved. After ten years of being in a stable relationship with Luke and eight months of being married to him.

Lorelai knew she had to tell Christopher what happened. Before she could take her phone back out of her pocket, Luke spoke.

"We need to tell Logan." He said gruffly.

"Oh… yeah, you're right." Lorelai said slowly. She had indifferent feelings towards her grandchild's father. "I don't have his number though."

"Rory's phone is at home. I remember she left it there because it wasn't charging properly and she said she would go without it although I told her I thought it was unwise to go without it in case there was an emergency." Luke bit his lip.

"Well, let's go home." Lorelai said.

Luke followed her to the truck without saying another word.


Once they got home, Lorelai rushed into Rory's room and found her phone plugged into the wall charger. She pressed the home button and the screen came to life. It was only seventy percent charged. She gently pulled the cord out and tried to unlock the phone with a guess at Rory's password. It took a few attempts, but she guessed the right password and then went to the contacts list and found Logan.

Lorelai called him without saying anything to Luke who was standing next to her. The call went straight to voicemail and Lorelai cursed under her breath.

"Um hi Logan… this is Lorelai Gilmore. I need you to call me back as soon as possible. Uh I'm calling from Rory's phone but you can call my phone." She recited her cell number and then ended the call.

Luke glanced at her but Lorelai wasn't looking at him. She moved and sat down on Rory's bed. It was unmade and Lorelai grasped the sheets, held them to her face.

"Hey." Luke said gently as he came to stand next to the bed.

"She should be here, resting. The baby should still be inside of her, kicking her, making her smile. She should still be here where it's safe, impatiently waiting for her son to arrive." Lorelai declared.

"I know." Luke replied. He wanted to take away all her pain. He wanted his happy, zany, loving wife back. He knew that wasn't possible now.

Luke coughed awkwardly. "Uh maybe we should get back to the hospital. See Rory's doctor again and wait for Emily."

Lorelai nodded. She reached out her hand and he took it, helped her up.

He wrapped an arm around her and they walked out of the bedroom.

"We should eat something. Just something quick," Luke muttered.

Lorelai walked over to the kitchen counter without a word. Luke shut the bedroom door behind him and followed her. They picked up a couple granola bars and an apple for Luke. That would have to do for now. Luke quickly grabbed a couple water bottles from the fridge before they left the house.


A couple hours later, they met with Dr. Griffin again and had all of their questions about comas answered. There was no way to know when Rory would wake up. It could be days or weeks or even years. Lorelai couldn't find the strength to go back into Rory's room, not yet. She would wait until Emily arrived.

She and Luke visited the baby again. The NICU nurse told them that he had developed symptoms of jaundice but it wasn't really anything to worry about. It was pretty common and most cases could be easily treated.

"His temperature is stable; his body is doing what it's supposed to. He's definitely a strong little guy… does he have a name?" The nurse asked.

"Oh um no he doesn't. I'm sure you know his mother isn't…" Lorelai trailed off.

The nurse nodded. "It's tragic." She looked at them sorrowfully.

"Didn't Rory have names picked out?" Luke asked hesitantly. Rory didn't want to know if the baby was a boy or girl. She wanted it to be a surprise.

"Yeah she did." Lorelai smiled as she looked at the baby. She remembered the name she had picked out for a boy. "Owen. Owen Richard." She said, also remembering Rory had wanted him to have the middle name Richard.

The nurse smiled, "That's a nice name."

Luke remained silent. His eyes were on the baby. He smiled as he put the name to his little face. It fit.

Owen really didn't look like either of his parents yet. He was bald so you couldn't tell if he would be blond or brunette. It was also hard to tell what facial features he had inherited from Rory or Logan.

"Do I need to fill out the birth certificate or anything?" Lorelai asked.

"We can do that later. Do you want to hold him?" The nurse answered.

"Can I? Is he healthy enough?" Lorelai was worried.

"He should be fine."

Lorelai smiled softly. She and Luke still had to wear scrubs and gloves. She watched closely as the nurse lifted Owen out of the incubator. Once Owen was in her arms, she couldn't help but grin.

He was precious. She still couldn't believe she had a grandson and he was here, in the world after so many months. She was just as amazed as she was when Rory was born. Owen was sleeping soundly and he was breathing evenly. Lorelai stepped closer to Luke so he could get a closer look.

Luke looked at Owen, also amazed. He looked so small, although he was a healthy weight. Doula had been bigger and she and Jess had been the only newborns he had held. He had been present when Steve and Kwan had been born but he didn't want to hold them, he was scared he would drop them or do something wrong.

"You want to hold him?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh, no, you have this moment." Luke said quickly.

"Aw come on, he wants to be held by Grandpa Luke."

"No, it's okay. I think I'll wait 'til he gets a little bigger." Luke kept his eyes on Owen.

"He won't break." Lorelai protested but before Luke could respond, Owen's eyes fluttered open and he squirmed in Lorelai's arms.

Luke backed away a little when Owen started to cry.

"Aw what's wrong, honey?" Lorelai frowned.

"It's about time for his next feeding." The nurse had gone to the other side of the room to tend to another baby. She told them she would prepare a bottle.

Lorelai handed Owen back to the nurse when she returned with the warm bottle. Luke and Lorelai watched her feed him for a minute before they left the NICU.


Once they had removed their scrubs and left the NICU area, Lorelai's phone beeped. It was inside her purse.

"Oh crap." She muttered.

"What?" Luke said, worried.

"I called Logan but I forgot to call Chris. He needs to know too."

"Oh yeah," Luke said solemnly.

Emily wouldn't be arriving from Nantucket for a while. Lorelai and Luke headed back outside. She saw she had a text from Sookie. Sookie was back working at the Dragonfly part time. She was there now and she was wondering where Lorelai was. Lorelai called Sookie first, vowing to call Christopher right after.


Author's note: Thank you so much for all the follows and reviews. This is kind of a weird place to end the chapter but this is where I'm leaving it.
Since I watched the revival and I knew that Rory was pregnant with Logan's baby, I liked to believe that he would be there for her and the baby some way. I wanted him to leave Odette in the revival, I was really hoping he would after Rory asked him if he was really going to marry her… but he just said that was the dynastic plan and I that made me so frustrated. I hate the way ASP wrote Logan in the revival. I don't condone the cheating (Rory on Paul or Logan on Odette) but I think Rory and Logan so clearly still loved each other and neither one of them spoke up and admitted it. And I hate the Logan/Chris comparison. I decided to just end the Odette thing like this; I hope it's believable…

Feedback is always appreciated.
