A couple weeks had passed since the night of graduation and Rory and Logan were just getting finished moving all of their things into their new house. It was a perfect house, they agreed. They had gone there the night of graduation and had explored every part of it, going through the cabinets and closets, planning where everything would go. They had talked about the wedding too, how soon they wanted to have it, what their last name would be.
Logan had reconciled with his mother and had been in touch with Honor but still barely spoke to Mitchum. He wasn't sure if Rory should change her name to Huntzberger when they got married, even though that was still his legal name. And there was so much planning to do for the wedding, although Shira and Emily had gotten together many times over the last couple weeks to plan the wedding and go through every detail of what it would be like. Of course Rory and Lorelai felt left out but Emily assured them that they would be included. And Rory had finally decided to change her name to Huntzberger. "Maybe we can change the connotations." she had suggested.
Logan was washing some dishes after dinner when he heard Rory's voice from the bathroom.
"Oh you have got to be freakin' kidding me!" he heard her yell.
Immediately concerned, he looked of from the dishes. "What is it? Are you okay?"
Rory emerged from the bathroom. "I'm pregnant." she announced.
"Again?" he asked incredulously.
"Again." confirmed Rory. "What are we, bunnies?" she added, amazed that in the short time since they had gotten back together she had managed to get pregnant again.
"Oh great, now we can tell our baby that the first thing you said when you found out was 'you've got to be freakin' kidding me!'"
"I'm pregnant." Rory repeated slowly.
Logan too realized for the first time that once again she was pregnant. They smiled at each other.
"Wait why are we making this sound like a bad thing?" asked Logan.
"I don't know." responded Rory.
"You know I'm not leaving your side until the baby is born, don't you?" Logan said.
Rory jumped into his arms. "I'm pregnant!" she shouted jubilantly. "But what about my job?" she asked. "I love my job."
"And I love mine." Logan responded. "But being the king of sloths comes in handy. I'll be here with the baby during the day and then I can still bartend at night when you are here."
"We won't ever see each other."
"Sure we will, I don't work every night so there is still plenty of time to hang out."
Rory smiled at him.
"Are you absolutely sure you are pregnant?" Logan asked.
"Yes, I'm sure. I feel exactly how I did... the last time. And I took the test just now."
"Sorry to ask again, but are you sure it's mine?" Logan asked.
"Yes, it's yours silly." Rory said, giving him a kiss.
"Should we tell
people?" Logan asked, meaning of course her mom.
"I don't
know. I mean I'm not sure I should tell people until I know that this
one will be okay. I mean they always say the first trimester anything
can happen." Rory said, trying to be logical, but dying to call her
mom and tell her.
"Well then lets just tell a few people. It doesn't have to be common knowledge." suggested Logan.
"Okay!" said Rory. "Want to meet her and Luke for dinner and tell them then?"
"Yeah, lets do that."
"I'll set it up for tomorrow." Rory said as she picked up the phone.
They met for dinner the next day at Lorelai's house. They were all busy and didn't have time to go out somewhere fancy so Luke just cooked them all a nice dinner. Rory was glad though, because the setting would be a lot more private for the announcement she was about to make.
When they all finally sat down Logan nudged Rory. They weren't really nervous about the news because Lorelai had already heard it once before and had been mostly happy for them and they were also engaged, about to be married this time.
"Mom, Luke" Rory started. "Logan and I have some news."
They looked up at her expectantly.
"I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed.
"Really?" Lorelai said, giving her a hug. "Is this what you want?" she added, giving her daughter a critical look.
"Yes, it is." Rory assured her.
"What you both want?" Luke asked, getting over his shock and looking meaningfully at Logan.
"There's an ongoing debate on who is happier." Logan said, trying to assure Luke that he was not about to take off or anything like that.
"Rory what about your career?" asked Luke.
"Well Logan will be home during the day, I'll be there at night. I mean its one tiny baby, how hard can it be?" asked Rory.
Lorelai laughed. "Well I got lucky with you, so you never know."
"We are really happy about it. I mean everything is going really well for us, and we wanted to have at least one, so why wait?" explained Logan.
"Yeah and my job isn't really in jeopardy if I take some time off." said Rory. "I can still write from home too, or edit or something."
"Well if you need any help or advice or anything you know you can ask me." Lorelai gave her daughter another hug.
"So have you told the Gilmores?" Luke asked.
"No, and I'm not going to." said Rory. "The baby can tell them."
Lorelai laughed. "I think they are starting to like Logan. And if the wedding is soon enough..."
"We want time to plan it first. I'm not going to rush my wedding just because I'm pregnant."
"I take that back about being lucky with you." said Lorelai. "You do know they are going to blame me." she started imitating Emily. "Really Lorelai, I can't be shocked with the example you set for your daughter."
"I'll tell them, don't worry about it." Rory promised. "We just aren't telling people yet. We told you, but thats about as far as it goes for now."
"We won't say anything." said Lorelai, looking at Luke who nodded.
"Not until you want it out." Luke agreed.
"Thanks you guys!" Rory then started eating with relish. "This is really good Luke."
Lorelai didn't stop though. "Just for future reference though, you do know that they make this thing called a condom."
Rory rolled her eyes.
Lorelai continued. "Yeah it's really cool, if you wear one you don't have babies!"
"I know mom." said Rory. "I'm ignoring you and eating now."
"I know what to get you as a wedding present now." Lorelai continued. "How long do you think you will be married for? I want to make sure I get enough."
