An: You all were saying you were waiting for the Gilmore's reaction to the reunited relationship so here you go!
Ch 13
"Big" Alex says suspiciously as we pull into the Gilmore driveway.
"I know" Ace says the same way.
"Not that big, Pop's house is bigger buddy" I state looking back at him.
"Maybe we can call and say I'm still sick" Ace says getting out of the car.
"Ace, calm down it's just dinner" I state helping Alex out of his booster seat.
"Dinner is never just dinner at the Gilmore's Logan have we learned nothing from Yale" she says readjusting her skirt for the tenth time.
"As long as we don't have your gift is a virtue talk with a minister, I think we'll be okay" I smirk and she looks at me evilly.
"Maybe we should have made him wear a tie" I state as I knock on the door.
"Alex" she says and he unzips his jacket and I see that she already made him.
"I hate it" he states. "Me too buddy, me too" I say readjusting mine. I'm nervous.
"Come in come in" Emily opens the door ushering us inside already.
"My look at you; spitting image of your father aren't you Alexander" Emily says and Alex looks at me. "He goes by Alex grandma" Ace says and she nods.
"My mistake Alex" she smiles and I think it's the twilight zone.
"Everyone is in the parlor" she says as I take Rory's coat and Alex's and hand them to the maid along with mine.
"Look who finally arrived" she announces and I look around to see Lorelai and Luke there, Christopher and Richard and who I assume is Francine Hayden.
"Traffic my dear" Richard says getting up and shaking my hand and kissing Rory's cheek.
"Some" she smiles.
"Scotch I presume Logan and martini for you" he says and I nod.
"Let me help you Richard" I state.
"Nonsense my boy, you're a guest sit" he says.
"Nice to see you again Logan, this is my mother Francine" Christopher says shaking my hand. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Hayden" I state.
"Francine, please" she says sophisticated. I glance at Ace and she just shrugs and sits on the empty chair across from where Richard was. I take the one next to her.
"Will's upstairs Alex would you like to join him" Lorelai says standing up and he grabs her hand and goes up stairs.
"Where's Gigi Dad" Rory questions her father.
"At a slumber party for Caitlyn Anderson" he says and I almost choke.
"You okay" Ace questions and I nod. There are more Anderson families out there besides Nikki's.
"Anderson, I never heard of them are they new money Christopher" Richard questions handing us our drinks.
"No, they are from LA, Robert Anderson is the new partner at Hayden Law. Caitlyn is his niece. His sister Holly Anderson-Levine is the new teacher at Gigi's private school in Boston. Caitlyn is her daughter. Quite ashamed about their sister though" Christopher says and I can feel my throat tighten.
"Excuse us" Rory says pulling me up and out to the front hall.
"What is going on, you're turning eight shades of white Logan. Are you okay? Are you coming down with my cold? Damn it I knew you should have left" she rambles and I grab her upper arms.
"Holly is Nikki's sister Ace" I state and she freezes.
"Damn it I knew something was up" she says pissed off.
"Ace, I highly doubt Emily knew anything about this" I state.
"It's Emily Gilmore we're talking about Logan and along with Francine it's ten times worse" she states. I just stand there, why would they do this?
"Grandma" she yells walking in.
"Keep your voice now dear, I'm right here" Emily says.
"How did you do this? I always wonder if Mom was right about you and you just proved it so tell me how" she demands and I look at her. It's like she turned herself into a true Huntzberger.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Emily says playing naïve.
"Oh, I don't think so grandma, just tell me" she yells and everyone looks at her.
"Fine, we were shopping in Boston last week and bumped into your mother Logan. She filled us in on this little relationship going on and how you have this child now. It's inappropriate and not socially accepted Rory. You can ruin both families status and we will not stand back and let you do that after everything we created" she states and I thought Rory was going to hit her.
"Socially accepted and status are you that old woman that you think that I care about any of that" she yells louder as Lorelai comes down.
"You will not talk to your grandmother like this Rory" Richard scolds her.
"This is the reason why I haven't in months, grandfather. She thinks that she can control who I hate and what I do with my life. She needs to realize that I'm more like my mother than she likes. I will date who I damn well please, I will marry whomever I want and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Dad already paid you back in full for Chilton and two years at Yale. I owe you nothing. If you think bringing the Anderson's around will stop us, then you are seriously mistaken" Ace says flipping out.
"Rory" I say trying to calm her down. This isn't her fight.
"She's right" Francine says and we all look at her.
"But you agreed with me" Emily says,
"And I don't know. Not seeing these two together. He's the right one for her. She will defend him to the death like any Hayden would. I think it shows Logan's true character that he was willing to raise a child alone" she says and I nod but Rory and Lorelai laugh.
"That's rich really, especially coming from the woman who refused to look at me for 16 years and thought I would have been better off aborted than born" Rory states fuming and I'm surprised. I never knew that.
"I was wrong" she states.
"It's a little too late for that now" she says turning away and going upstairs with Alex.
"Go" Lorelai says and I take off after Ace.
"Hey' I say seeing her outside the room where I hear Alex and Will laughing.
"I hate them. This is the reason why I never wanted to sit foot in this house again. Every time I do, I feel like I'm transported back to being 16 and having them tell me I'm not good enough, that I should have never been born and that I'm the reason my parents failed on their great plan" she says crying and I cradle her in my arms letting her cry.
"You are not nothing, you are so far from nothing Ace. It's their own stupidity for not seeing it. You are amazing, incredible, and loved. You are so loved. Everyone loves you. Your mom, Luke, your dad, the gang loves you, Honor thinks of you like a sister, Alex is obsessed with you, and I love you more than anything in this world. So don't worry about what they think. You know who you are. You know what you want in life, to hell with anyone who thinks you don't' I state holding her.
"He's right kiddo" we hear Christopher say and we look up.
"I'm sorry, they roped me into this. Using everyone to get what they want. It won't happen Rory" he says and she nods. "You got a good guy here kiddo, listen to him" he says leaning down and kissing her forehead.
"I'm leaving" he says "And I think you should do the same" he states and I look at Rory.
"What do you say to some Luke's" I smirk as her face turns excited.
"I'll get Alex" she says standing up. "Come on boys, we're going home" she says laughing opening the door and I hear yes from them.
Stars Hollow
"Now this is what I call dinner" she laughs as we took over all the middle tables in Luke's. "I miss Luke's" she says eating my fries since hers are gone already.
"I know you do" I state kissing her temple. We changed at the house; since she leaves clothes there and I was surprised Alex and I had stuff too. Lorelai told me she left the bag here at Christmas.
"Do you too ever stop that" I hear Lane say and Rory turns around and screams.
"Give me" she says holding her arms out for Leighton.
"Can you say Auntie Rory yet" Rory questions the little girl who looks just like Lane. The baby just laughs.
"I guess not" Rory smiles "sit, eat and where are the boys?" she questions Lane and she points outside with Will and Alex who has Zack with them.
"Logan good to see you again" Lane says.
"You too Lane" I say and watch Rory dancing with Leighton.
"She's really good with her" Lane says and I look back at her.
"Rory, she's good with Leighton" Lane says again and I nod.
"She talks about you and Alex all the time on the phone Logan. She's so happy to have you back and Alex, but…" Lane starts and I look at her.
"But what Lane" I questions wanting to know what is going on that I don't know about.
"She wants that, she wants to experience becoming a mom. She's ready. She knows she has Alex and she loves him, but she wants one that you hers well yours and hers" she says and I hear the baby giggling and I turn to see Ace tickling her.
"She mentioned it a while ago, but I didn't know she was completely serious about it" I say.
"She waiting for you to be ready, but I can guarantee that if you tell her tonight that she will be all for it" Lane smiles as Rory sits down.
"She needs to be change" she states handing the baby back to Lane.
"That's my cue to be mommy" Lane says grabbing the bag and heading to the back.
"Hey you" she says kissing me on the cheek as I let what Lane says set in.
"You're happy here" I say smiling at her.
"It's where I grew up Logan. It's the one place I can come and feel like myself again, but home is in New York with you and Alex" she says and I cup her face kissing her hard on the lips.
"Keep that up mister and we'll get thrown out" she laughs.
"Let's go home" I say standing up.
"Let's go home" she smile standing up and taking my hand.
Home is where her heart is and that's with Logan and Alex
