This part is quite long, and I was really please that I wrote some much, I hope you are too.
Anyway again, thank you for the reviews, the more reviews I get the more I want to write, because it makes me feel like at least some people are reading, so thank you so so much for them and please keep them coming and keep reading. That's all from me for now, so enjoy…..

Part 6 'That's a Map of New York'
"Erm, what's, his, oh right, Dylan, that's it. I'm looking for Dylan" Rory paused, not really wanting to say the next part
"Second name?" The secretary said plainly. Rory wasn't bothered by the lack of enthusiasm, if that was even the way to describe it, Rory understood how boring it must get, sitting in the same place all day, every day.
"Hutzberger" Rory shuddered
"He's in intensive care, immediate family members only" The receptionist spoke as if she were reading it off a sheet of paper. Rory realised that this woman obviously didn't watch the TV or even read magazines, otherwise she would know exactly what was going on, and she would know exactly whom she was dealing with. Rory didn't want to make it sound as if she were some obnoxious celebrity who went around saying 'Don't you know who I am?' everywhere, she just knew that if the woman had any access to media, it was common knowledge to know Rory Gilmore and the life history that came with it.
"I'm his Mom" Rory offered
"Name please?" the nurse droned
"Rory Gilmore" Rory said quickly, getting more and more impatient every second that went by
The nurse rustled through a pile of files and then clicked around on the computer.
"You may go through, he's in room 12" The nurse answered.
Rory simply thanked the receptionist, who upon Rory's departure, turned her head to the Television screen situated behind the counter, and ran along the corridor, looking for Dylan's room.
Rory carried on until the end of the corridor, room 11. Where was room 12? Rory followed a small corridor that slipped away behind room11. The corridor continued until Rory could see room 12. It was tucked away behind room 11, nice and privately in the corner. There was a little private seating area outside the room, and a window that overlooked Dylan's room. Rory ran up to the window to find Logan and Benny sitting at Dylan's bedside, each holding onto one of his little Tube ridden hands.
Rory sank down into one of the chairs. She couldn't cope with this, she couldn't watch, as her son lay there unconscious and oblivious to the world around him. It was too painful for her.
Rory sat, waited, she wasn't really sure what for, but she couldn't go in, she knew that much. She figured she must of fallen asleep because the next thing she knew, Jack was sitting next to her, Adam next to him with Eden on his knee, Benny was asleep at the end of the row, her head leaning up against the wall, Levi was sitting on the other side of Rory and Logan was pacing up and down the small space in front of the chairs.
Logan looked mad, like he was only pacing to refrain himself from doing something drastic. Rory decided that she was going to have to wake up eventually. She opened her eyes cautiously, trying not to catch any ones glance.
"Mommy" Too late, Levi had seen her eyes open, he must have been watching her.
"Hey sweetie" Rory smiled at Levi, then turned to look at Logan who was now staring at her.
Jack turned to look at Rory "Hey" he said in that voice, the voice that always took Rory away, he had such an incredible way of always making Rory feel safe. That was the one thing that was missing from her almost perfect relationship with Logan, he never made her feel safe, she had always felt on edge when she was with him.
"Hey baby" Rory waited as Jack softly kissed her lips. Rory reached out and took Eden from Adam. "Hey" Rory smiled at her little girl.
"I think I'm going to get some coffee," Adam said, sensing that Logan and Rory needed to be left alone
"I'll help you" Jack volunteered "Anyone want anything?" Jack asked looking at Rory
"Sure, some coffee please" Rory smiled back at Jack
"Logan?" Jack asked
"I'm fine thank you Jack" Logan said, almost with an evil glint in his eye
"Ok" Jack, said as he turned to leave with Adam
"Hey Levi, you wanna come and get something," Adam asked
"Yeah" Levi quickly got up, almost as if he knew that he should leave, then ran along to corridor to catch up with Jack and Adam
Rory sat with Eden on her knee, bouncing her up and down slowly. Logan continued to pace, every now and then throwing a glance across at Benny, then Rory in turn.
"So you just decided to come?" Logan suddenly asked as he continued to pace
"What do you mean I just decided to come, he's my son" Rory argued
"You should have called first," Logan shouted again
"He was run over and now he's in a coma" Rory said, holding Eden tightly, close to her body, hoping she would eventually fall asleep
"Don't you think I know that"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Rory questioned
"Nothing" Logan tried to climb out of the hole he had just dug for himself
"Go on, say it, you think that just because your there all the time, you're the only one who worries about him, about them!"
"You don't have the right to worry about him, you shouldn't be here, this is my time" Logan tried
"What and you think I'm just going to sit around and wait while some woman takes my place" Rory shot a glance at Benny who was still sleeping soundly in the corner
"Don't talk about her like that, she cares about the boys more than you'll ever know" Logan argued, Rory had gone to far in his opinion to talk about Benny, Rory didn't even know Benny
"Yeah, well I care about them too, more than anything in the world. They're my babies. I have every right to be here"
"No you don't"
"Oh that's right because you took them away"
"Lets not get into that again, you shouldn't be here"
"Look when my son gets run over by a tram, I don't give a damn about your stupid court order, in fact there are a lot of comments running though my head right now about where you can stick your useless court order"
"Useless, you think that court orders useless, it's the only thing that's protecting your children"
"What do you mean protecting my children, by forcing them to live with you and her?" Rory again looked over to Benny, resting her head up against the wall
"Its protecting them from living their lives on movie sets and in countless hotel rooms across the world just like Eden's going to end up living like that" Logan looked at Eden, sweetly resting on Rory's knee
"I bet you'd take Eden away too if you could"
"I'd do anything to keep a kid from living their life on the road"
"They wouldn't live their lives on the road, I'd give up everything I have for those boys" Rory was almost screaming now, she was so angry at Logan, for all the things he'd said, for all the things he'd done and for all the nasty and hurtful things Rory was sure he was going to say
"Yeah, I did give up everything for them" Logan pointed out
"Yeah after you took them away, they're my children too"
"But Rory, you have no rights, so they aren't anymore"
"How can you say that, they call me mom and they spend a week with me every 2 months, I gave birth to them, no one, not even Benny can replace that!"
"Yeah, only because I allow it, they don't have to, I could stop you from seeing them altogether, because by law, I don't have to let you see them ever again"
"And who's that going to help, Certainly not you" Rory said
"It would help me, because when they get older, they're going to resent you for not being there"
"What and there not going to resent you for preventing me from being there" Rory
"No because I did it to protect them" Logan was fighting now, giving his every last gram of energy to this almost screaming match
"And you think that's going to matter when they're 17 and full of hormones and angry at you and Benny for keeping them from me!"
"Don't bring Benny into this, this has nothing to do with her!"
"It has everything to do with her. You don't think Logan, you don't think about other people. This isn't just about you and me and the boys. It's about Benny and Jack and Adam and even Eden! They're all affected by this you know, not just us!"
"She loves the boys and that's all that matters!"
"Yeah but one day, and it could be any day, she's going to be the step mom, the one that helped their dad, who they're going to hate anyway, just because you tell them what to do, take them away from their mom, me."
"Yeah but you won't be around for any longer than a week here and there for them to stay with you for."
"Yeah but Logan, I'm their mom"
"Yeah, they might be close to you now and want to be with you now, but look at what happened to you and your mom, you were inseparable but now you don't speak at all!"
"Logan don't you dare, don't you dare talk about my mom. Never!" Rory screamed, she had set Eden down now and was standing up screaming at Logan so loud that Benny opened her eyes quickly, worried about what was going on!
"Hey" Logan looked angrily at Rory then turned his attention and one of his signature smiles to Benny
"What's going on, I heard shouting" Benny said mindlessly
"Oh, don't worry, it was just, Erm, Eden" Logan lied
Rory looked down at Eden who was fast asleep on Rory's lap
"She looks fine to me" Benny observed
"Well, she goes to sleep quickly" Rory lied too, she had stooped to the same level as Logan, lying and that made her sad to think she was now, as bad, as Logan!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Rory entered the hotel with a smile. She was tired and longed for her bed. Another day on location in New York had been great but she was always so tire when they ended. She waved at the manager who was hovering in reception, smiled at the concierge and acknowledged the bellboy. They were about the only people around, she wasn't surprised, and after all it was 1am. Rory pressed the button and waited patiently for one of the three lifts that ran straight through the centre of the building. The bell ran and the door of the lift drew open to reveal a tired looking porter. Rory smiled weakly at him, a weak smile was all she could manage at this late hour, or was it early, she wasn't real sure.
"Penthouse floor" Rory said to the porter
"Yes ma'am" the porter answered, pressing the button
As the life moved up, Rory's cellphone began to ring. She had no idea who it could be, it was 1am
She flipped open her cell phone, Logan. What did he want at 1am in this morning?
"Hey" Rory and Logan had been trying for weeks to get along with each other
"Rory, I have to tell you something" Logan got straight to the point, weird though Rory thought, then again who wouldn't get straight to the point at 1am
"Shoot" Rory said as the lift passed the 19th floor
"I asked Benny to marry me" Logan confessed
"I know, the boys told me" Rory explained, remembering Dylan and Levi shouting it at her as they had come through the door earlier in the week
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," Logan said apologetically, really sounding sorry
"You don't have to explain yourself to me" Rory said, waiting for the lift to stop at her floor
"Your not upset are you?" Logan asked, expecting her to be even just a little upset that he was engaged
"No, I just gotta go, bye Logan, thanks for the call" Rory tried as the lift stopped. She handed the porter some money, thanked him and left the lift.
"Ace, wait" Logan begged
"Don't call me ace, I'm not your ace anymore" Rory said, slamming the phone shut
Logan waited, clinging on to the phone, nothing but silence.

"So remind me, why the hell am I driving across the Connecticut state line at 4am?" Luke asked again
"Because, I want to go to California!" Lorelai shouted, fidgeting in her seat and trying to figure out which way the map went
"Why, did you just have this sudden urge to go to California" Lorelai was trying not to laugh as she lied to Luke
"Yeah, that's what it was an urge" Lorelai said
"Yeah sure" Luke said sarcastically
"I was just innocently sitting at home ad I thought, why stay in stars hollow when you could got to LA" Lorelai lied
"Oh yeah, I get that feeling all of the time" Luke was being over the top sarcastic now, and Lorelai was pretending that she hadn't noticed
Really?" Lorelai was playing along with Luke's sarcasm
"Yeah totally" Luke couldn't help but laugh a little
"See, you sound Californian already" Lorelai smiled, turning her attention away from Luke and back to the map
"Your not going to get us very far, that's a map of New York" Luke smiled
"I wondered why 5th avenue looked like it was in Boston" Lorelai folded up the map.
"The map of America's in there" Luke pointed the map out to Lorelai. She smiled and whispered 'aha' Luke just watched the road as they drove across the state line, off on their journey.

Ok, so, the Logan/Rory scene there was not very 'lets get back together in Part 7' was it? I'm sorry, but I promise things will get a little more 'light hearted' and I little less 'I'll kill you in 10 seconds.' So please do stick with it.
Do let me know what you thought the scene was like and any criticisms and ways you think I can improve are welcome as well as reviews! So please keep reading and reviewing, so peace out and I'll post more as soon as I've written it
