I walk into my room and look in my dresser for my Yale sweatpants and T-shirt. I change clothes because I feel like I smell like airplane. Logan goes to take a shower. I join Mom back in the kitchen.
"So..." she says.
"Mom everything is fine." I tell her. "I promise. Logan I talked on the plane. I got offered a job in Hartford. I'm taking it. I might have called Grandma and mentioned the job to her and she is gonna let me live in the house until I finished the book. Which will give us time to find a place."
"And what Logan's gonna fly back and forth between Hartford and London?" She said. I could tell that she was a little upset at this point.
"No. He told Mitchem that he wanted something near Hartford. Told him everything. Logan's taking over Mitchem's Hartford publisher. He starts in two weeks. Gives him time to pack up the flat in London."
Mom gets up and fixes me and her a cup of coffee. "And your sure that this is what you want?" She asks. I nod my head. "Okay then."
Logan returns from his shower wear sweatpants and a t-shirt as well. Mom fixes him a glass of Scotch that Luke keeps for cooking sometimes. The three of us sit and talk. After a couple of hours mom says she's going to bed. Logan and I go into my room. I sit on the bed leaning against the pillows. Logan closes the door and comes to sit beside me.
"You okay?" He asks me.
I look at him and then I kiss him. "Yeah. Just worried about tomorrow."
"Having your mom, dad, and Luke all in the same room together."
"Yeah. I think that the last time that the five of us were in the same room together was that night at my grandparents vow renewal thing."
"Wow...I had forgotten about that. Your dad and Luke wanted to kill me."
I laughed. "Yeah. That was a crazy night." I said. "But it was also the night that I knew"
"Knew what?"
"That I loved you. I knew that even if it didn't last, that if I didn't at least try to tell you how I felt that I would regret it."
He kisses me. "I love you and I'm sorry that it took us this long to get here." He said.
"You mean pregnant and engaged."
"Yeah that."
"Well I love you too." I kiss him and it isn't long before both of us are fast asleep.
When I wake up I can see the sun coming in through the window. I turn over and Logan isnt beside me. I get up and walk into the kitchen. Logan is sitting there with mom drinking coffee.
"Morning." I say.
"Morning Hon." Mom says. She gets up and fixes me a cup of coffee.
I sit down across from her and next to Logan. She sits the coffee in front of me. "Oh no you don't" Logan say moving the cup away from me.
"Look I already gave up alcohol. I'm not giving up coffee too." I say.
We stare at each other for a moment before finally he says, "fine."
"Thank you."
"So Ror, your dad called." Mom says.
"Uh huh."
"He's coming early. You made him nervous. He's gonna be here in twenty minutes."
"Crap." I run into my room and quickly change clothes. Dad and I have always had a pretty easy relationship but ever since he and mom got divorced he's always nervous when I have to tell him something. Just as I finish getting dressed I look out the window to see dad's car pull in the driveway. I walk back into the kitchen and grab my coffee. "He's here."
Mom walks to the front door to open it.
"Hi Chris." Mom says.
"Hi Lor. Where's our daughter?" I heard dad say.
"Kitchen!" I yelled. I look over at Logan and he looks nervous. "Relax." I tell him. My parents walk into the kitchen. "Dad!"
"Hey kiddies! You ok? You look kind of pale." Dad asked me.
"Coffee Chris?" Mom asks.
"Sure." He says. "Logan." Logan nods.
"Dad, lets sit." I say. The four of us are sitting at the table. "Okay, here it goes." I take a deep breath. "Dad I love you."
"I love you too kid. How far along are you?"
I look at Logan and then Mom. "Wasn't me." She says.
"Ror, I'm not stupid. When you came to see me. I put two and two together. But I'm assuming that there's more." He said and I nod.
I look at Logan. I can't. For some reason I'm afraid that Dad will be disappoillpllwry. Heb. Mekznd in me. "Rory and I are getting married." Logan tells him.
"Well welcome to the family." My dad says.
I relax a little. "Really?" I ask.
"Come on kid take a walk with me." Dad and I get up from the kitchen table, grab our jackets and walk outside. "Rory, you looked nervous when I walked in and so did Logan. What gives?"
"I was afraid you were gonna be disappointed in me."
"Rory what did I tell you when you came and spent Christmas with me and Gigi after you turned down Logan's first proposal."
"You told me that if its meant to be that Logan and I would find our way back to each other."
"Yeah and you did." My says and hugs me.
"Thanks dad. I needed that." I say.
Later that evening I am getting ready for our big family dinner where now Grandma is the only one that doesn't know that I'm pregnant and getting married. If only Grandpa was here. Might have to find a way to incorporate one of Grandpa's names for the baby. I looked through my clothes trying to figure out what to wear. Luke was cooking so that I was a plus but I couldn't exactly wear my sweatpants. Logan walked in from the kitchen and shut the door behind him.
"You okay Ace?" He asked.
"I can't decide what to wear." I said. And within 5 seconds Logan grabbed me a pair of jeans and a thin sweater and my brown boots. "How?"
"Its my favorite outfit you have. Its the one that you were wearing in Germany." He said.
"I can't believe you remember that. " I said.
He stepped closer to me putting his hand on my cheek. "It was the day that I fell in love with you all over again." I leaned my head up and kissed him. I quickly got dressed.
After I got dressed Logan and I walked into the kitchen. Mom and dad were sitting at the table and Luke was standing in front of the stove. Dad had gone to get a bottle of Bourbon earlier because all knew that dad, Logan and Luke would all need it to get through this dinner with Grandma.
We were all sitting in the living room waiting for Grandma when there was a knock on the door. Mom got up and answered it.
"Hi Mom." My mom said.
"Lorelai." They walked through to the living room. "Logan...Chris...What are you two doing here." Grandma says.
"They're here because of me Grandma." I say. She gives me a hug. "Come sit." Logan gets up so she can sit next to me. He stands behind me. "Grandma, this is hard for me to tell you but I'm pregnant." I tell her. She sits up straighter than she already is. "Logan and I have been seeing each other off and on for two years. We reconnected when I was in Germany." I tell her. I look up at him. "And we are getting married and moving to Hartford." I take another deep breath. "That's it."
She looks up at Logan. "And your engagement?" She asked.
"Called off." Logan says.
Nobody says anything for a few minutes. "Okay." Grandma says. "So this" she says pointing at me and Logan, " is why you got the job in Hartford?" I shake my head. I couldn't believe it. Grandma actually seemed okay with this. And neither dad or Luke had threatened Logan's life. I guess all in all this night had gone pretty well.
After Grandma left I was sitting on the porch when my dad came out and sat next to me on the swing. Logan was walking around the yard on the phone.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey. I'm gonna head out." Dad said.
"Okay dad. Thanks for coming. It meant a lot to me."
"Anything for you kid."
He stood up. "Dad, your happy right?"
He smiled at me. "Yeah. I'm happy kiddo."
I sat there aand watched my dad leave. I got cold waiting on Logan to finish his phone call so I went in the house. Mom and Luke were still in the kitchen. I sat at the table. Luke sat a hot fudge sundae in front of me. "Luke?" I said.
"Its been a long day." He said.
"I can't believe you remembered."
"Huh? What're you talking about?" Mom said.
"When Jess left to go to California I stopped by Luke's after school that day and he made me a sundae and said 'its been a long day'. He knew that I had had a crappy day. He made it better." I said and smiled at Luke. Halfway through my sundae Logan comes back in.
"What are you eating?" He says.
"Luke made me a hot fudge sundae since its been a long day." I said. He misdeed the top of my head. "Want some?" I asked.
"Sure." He said and sat beside me.
"Well?" I said looking at him. It was just the two of us in the kitchen. Mom and Luke were in the living room watching Tv.
"Lets see..." he started. I rolled my eyes. "Honor is excited. She said that it was about time. Collin, Finn, and Robert said we need to party; and Mom made some crack about a scandal. "
"So all in all pretty good then?"
"Yup." He said as I feed him a bite of the sundae. "You ready for this?"
"I'd go anywhere with you."
