Well I finally got them together

Well I finally got them together. I can't believe I've been writing this story for a year, and had got them together last week. Thank you to all for sticking with this story so far. I'm sad to tell you that I plan to end this story in three more chapters with an epilogue, but I will end it in a good place. I would love to do an alternate season 5 with this story, but I just have other ideas for R/L stories. Lorelai's love life will be the same as it was on the show, but she and Christopher will have a friendship scene in a coming chapter and Rory will have a friendlier relationship with him than they did in S5. Once again I would like to thank my Beta halfadash for making my story flow better.

Rory and Logan had spent most of the LBD in each other's company kissing and talking. After the stunt, the Brigadiers began to ease up on Rory. Colin and Robert had given her more information; some willingly, and some not so willingly, but they still made her a member. With the exception of some girls who had given Rory death looks after finding out that Rory and Logan were dating, mostly everyone was happy that Rory and Logan were together. Colin was glad that he could have all the girls Logan had on speed dial, and he also felt that Rory was really well suited for Logan. Finn's sentiments were very much the same. Stephanie, Juliet, and Rosemary all thought it was romantic and something that was in the making ever since they met.

Rory and Logan were currently kissing in front of the SUV. Normally, Rory would be embarrassed at such public displays of affection, but with Logan, Rory did not seem to care. Making out with Logan was like being an alcoholic, she had been abstained from the finest liquor, and now that she found it again she would never give it up.

Logan could not believe that he had considered being with multiple girls as opposed to being with this incredible girl. Logan pulled away for a moment, " I really missed this Ace," Logan said genuinely pulling her even deeper into his arms.

"I missed this too," Rory replied, breathing heavily and resting her head on Logan's chest as she sighed in contentment. Rory did not want to be anywhere else but with Logan. "I can't believe I was so afraid of all this." She was unable to believe that she would have missed the experience of being with Logan

Logan gently stroked her hair and said, "Its okay Rory, I was scared too. But isn't this going great? I'm going to be an excellent boyfriend." Logan smirked. Logan knew he was far from perfect but he was going to treat Rory better than any guy had treated her before.

When Logan saw Rory's quiet expression his smile began to fade, "What no jokes about my ego? Or how I tend to be so full of myself? Have you finally found my charm to be attractive?" Logan asked teasingly.

"No, its just this is the first time you said the word boyfriend. I'm sorry for asking this, but I really need to be sure, is this what you want?"

Logan could not believe that for the first time in his life he was a boyfriend, and after being all day with Rory he felt so happy and not one moment of dread. "If I say I can do it I can, we're starting fresh here." He then kissed Rory passionately.

"Well I know you can do that," Rory joked after Logan had pulled away.

"Rory, I never committed to anyone else, and I'm willing to do this for you. I really want this."

Rory was touched by Logan's puppy dog eyes and felt sorry she doubted him. "Okay, fresh start." She kissed him again. "Now who is going to tell the female Yale population, you or me?" Rory joked.

"Leave that to me." Stephanie's voice interrupted them as she and Colin were standing in front of the black SUV.

"Were you listening to us?" Logan chided.

"Only snippets man, Stephanie and I were only racing for shot gun, we had no desire to see your Romeo and Juliet performance in front of the car," Colin joked.

Rory blushed, mortified.

"Oh don't blush girly. I know for a fact that Colin has been stuck in various compromising positions throughout the years." Stephanie laughed

"Thanks a lot Steph." Colin rolled his eye

Stephanie brushed it aside, "Look I and various other people have been busy texting you and Logan. It feels like I'm back in high school getting a Gossip girl rumor"

"Who?" Everyone asked.

"Some chick that had a gossip blog at my all girl school, Constance Billard in New York City. I never found out who she was."

"I don't feel comfortable with my personal life being in the blogosphere," Rory stated.

"Don't worry they'll get tired of you and it keeps the competition away," Stephanie pointed out.

"Yep, I don't want anyone looking at my girl."

"I like that sound of that," Rory smirked.

"Better get used to it" Logan smiled as he pulled her closure

"Christ, they've been together for about a day and they are already sickeningly sweet," Colin whined.

Rory was working on her article. She kept smiling the whole time as she was thinking about Logan. She couldn't believe that she missed him after only two hours. She regretted saying no to him to be with her as she was writing her article but she knew if he was here he would distract her even more than she already was. Suddenly her phone rang, she dreaded the conversation she was going to have with the person on the other line. "Hi." Rory said nervously, wondering how she was going to tell her mother about her and Logan. Lorelai was getting used to their friendship but she didn't how she would react to their dating.

"Are you typing?" Lorelai guessed.

"No." "Yes, you are. I thought we agreed you wouldn't type while we talk." Lorelai said in a joking tone.

"Gotta break the rule just this once, I'm in a rush. It's been a crazy couple of days." Although Rory was breaking the rules, a lot of the rules, it had been a crazy and wonderful couple of days.

" Oh, school?" "Paper. Long story, I'll fill you in later." She hoped that Lorelai would want to hear the story about how wonderfully adventurous Logan and his friends were, and how he had pushed her to the limits in a way nobody else had. "So where are you?" "Luke's! I have to de-stress him after his unhappy Glimmer outing. Dad tried to take over his whole life. He wants to franchise Luke's."

"You're kidding." Rory silently wondered if now was the best time to tell Lorelai about Logan since her mother was already angry about her parents. Maybe she would use Logan as a scapegoat again, but she needed to not be afraid of her mother's opinion. Plus, if her mother didn't accept Logan as a boyfriend then she would be just as bad as her grandparents.

"Well, if he does franchise the diner get him to put one near Yale. I miss those burgers," Rory said trying to lighten up the mood before she would drop the bomb.

"He's not franchising." Lorelai joked back, "Hey, do men shave anywhere except their faces?" Rory rolled her eyes. "I don't know, I never saw what Logan does in the bathroom. He does spend lot of time in there… he is coming over tonight, you want me to ask him?" Rory smiled at the thought of seeing Logan that night, plus at how funny it would be if she were to ask Logan that question.

"Logan?" Lorelai asked in surprise.

"Mom he is the only guy I lived with, I don't really count Jess because we barely saw each other and when we did we would mostly fight or kiss. Plus I am never speaking to him again- "

"Okay," Lorelai interrupted, "I was just a little surprised, I mean you didn't mention him in weeks I figured you guys had some fight.'"

Rory knew this was the time to tell her mom, "Mom I have something I want to tell you, and before you start judging listen to me. Cause if you want our relationship to work you have to have an open mind please."

"Okay, I will," Lorelai replied in concern.

"I went to that party, the one I told you about the night we fought. Any way to make a long story short, Logan's mom, like you, made her thoughts known that she disapproved of me as Logan's date to the event."

"Oh honey how could she do that? You're like Thumper, and no one hates Thumper."

"So is Logan, yet you disapproved of him." Rory pointed out in a matter of fact tone.

Lorelai ignored her, "Is this why you weren't talking to Logan? Because he sat around while his mom treated you like crap? See, this is what I tried to protect you from."

"Unbelievable, I ask you for an open mind, and yet you judge before I finish my story. No, Logan did not just sit there, he told her off. I don't know the exact details of what he said, but it was pretty much that he wouldn't go to family gatherings if she ever said anything bad about me. If you don't believe me ask Casey or Allison who worked on the paper."

"Okay I'm sorry, I don't like it when people say bad things about my kid."

"I know mom, but let me continue my story."

"Go ahead, I won't interrupt."

Rory continued, "Well in the midst of his Mom's speech I went outside to the balcony. Anyway Logan came and comforted me and I kissed him. I don't know what came over me, but I was caught up in the moment. I don't regret it, it was the best kiss I've ever had. We both couldn't pursue a relationship at the time because he was a non commitment guy and I was a commitment girl, plus I had insecurities left over from Jess. Therefore, we decided to have a day of us being together, and it was an amazing day. However, it was too much for me, so I told Logan that I needed some time to bury my feelings. So until last week we didn't talk to each other. Any way I needed help on this article for this club that he was in, and I spent time with Logan in the club. Well after doing this stunt of jumping off seven stories Logan and I decided we were both ready to be in a relationship, so we're together now. Mom I am not asking you for your blessing, because I plan on being with Logan regardless. What I need is for you to support this relationship. I don't mean pretend to support it and then go bad mouth him to Sookie and Luke. Because if you don't accept this guy I care about then you are just as bad Grandma and Grandpa."

Lorelai listened to her daughter's plea, her daughter knew her too well. Lorelai didn't know what to say: she was hurt that Rory didn't mention this before; she was scared of losing her daughter completely to the world she disapproved of; and scared of losing Rory again if she stated her disapproval. She decided she was going to do something she hadn't ever done before: take time before speaking. "Honey I'm going to need some time to wrap my head around this, I'll call you in a few days okay?"

"I guess that sounds fair. Mom, I just want you to know he makes so happy." Suddenly their was a knock on Rory's door. "Someone's at the door. Um, say hi to Luke for me."

"If he isn't comatose. I guess say hi to Logan for me. I'll talk to you later," Lorelai said. She wanted to get off the phone before she started to speak her opinions.

Rory opened the door and felt a sense of happiness when she saw Logan, "Hey, you're early!" She smiled.

Logan came in and automatically embraced her and Rory sighed blissfully. "I couldn't wait until this evening, so I thought why not surprise you. I hope I didn't interrupt your studying as you warned me about."

"Well normally I would lecture you on how I needed some time to write the article; but since a conversation with my mother interrupted my train of thought anyway I will let it slide. " She sat on the bed and gestured to Logan. Logan sat next to her and put her arm around her as she leaned against him. Rory had never had a boyfriend who kept so much physical contact with her and she loved it. She never had a boyfriend that she could be so happy with in just a simple moment.

"Rory?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you tell your mom about us?" Logan curiously asked.

"I did, and she told me she needs a few days to process the information. That seems fair, but I really hope she is okay with it. Otherwise it's not fair for her to go on and on about how Grandpa tried to change Luke by getting him to franchise the diner while they played golf, and then she states her disapproval of us. What kind of friend is that?"

"Does that mean I have to play golf with Richard?" Logan asked trying to lighten the mood.

Rory laughed. " I don't know, my grandparents love you, and your profession is already franchised."

"That it is, I hate it when Dad takes me to all the hick places where there is a HPG paper. I went to South Dakota and I swear I saw Washington yawn."

Rory laughed. "Logan sometimes you are just so dramatic."

"And you love it." Logan put his lips on hers and kissed her. Rory hungrily responded, and put her hands in his hair and he put his hands in hers. They gradually descended downwards towards the bed, just enjoying lying there kissing each other. Logan put his hands in her shirt and started to caress her skin. Rory started to put her hands in his shirt, feeling his strong muscles. But then she remembered that she needed to be cautious, so she pulled away reluctantly and said, "Logan. I don't want us to go too far, despite how I was in New York. I just need some time before we are completely together."

"I know Rory." As much as his hormones wanted him to bed her right now he knew that they both needed to adjust as a couple before taking the next step.

"But that doesn't mean it will be long,'' Rory assured him. This was true, she was feeling more sure than anything that Logan was a guy she would sleep with soon.

"Its alright Ace, I am not going anywhere." Logan put a light yet very sweet kiss on her lips.

"Rory smiled and said, "Good answer," and kissed him again.
