14. Not a Rabbit
The next day Logan and Rory went to see Honor. They had agreed on meeting at her house since it was easier for her.
At noon Logan and Rory stood behind Honor's door and rang the doorbell.
A whole minute later Honor finally made it to the door and opened it. "Hi. Come on in."
"Hi." Logan greeted and gave his sister a hug. "You look great."
"No, I don't. I look fat." Honor replied. "Hi Rory. It's good to see you again."
"You too. And you're not fat. You're glowing. The pregnancy suits you." Rory told her.
"Thanks. You look great too." Honor said and hugged Rory too. "Let's go to living room so I can sit down. My legs start hurting every time I stand for few minutes."
They made their way to living room and sat down.
"Could I offer you something to drink?" Honor asked and was already trying to stand up again.
"You'll just sit. I'll handle the drinks." Logan told his sister before standing up and making his way to drink cart. "What do you ladies want?"
"I'll take just a club soda." Honor said.
"I'll take the same." Rory said.
"Two club sodas it is."
"So, Rory, tell me what you have been up to since the last time we saw each other." Honor asked Rory.
"Well after I graduated I worked as a reporter and followed Obama's campaign trail. I quit because the constant travelling wasn't my thing. I got a job in San Francisco and moved there. Soon I met Logan again and begged him to take me back which he fortunately did. Since that I have been perfectly happy with my life." Rory told her.
"Here you go." Logan said and gave the girls their drinks.
"Thanks." They both said.
"Your welcome."
"So you are going to stay in California for good?" Honor asked Rory.
"You can never know where life takes you. All I know is that I want to be with Logan and where we live is just a side issue as long as we are living together." Rory answered.
"I'm glad you too got back together. When I visited Logan last autumn all he did was work. That wasn't healthy at all." Honor said.
"Hey, I did other things too." Logan replied.
"Like?"
"Well I…"
"I'm waiting…"
"I'm thinking…"
"Just admit that you didn't have anything else in your life than work."
"I did. Some times I walked around the city or went for a run some where around my new neighbourhood."
Rory chuckled while listening the siblings bicker.
"That's all? Really? Rory, tell him that going for a walk once and awhile can't be considered as having a life outside the work." Honor said.
"Sorry Logan but she is right." Rory said but continued before Logan was able to say something. "When I was working at the campaign trail all I did was work. Everything in my life had something to do with work. And it's not the way to live."
"Well looks like you two workaholics have found each other." Honor commented.
"We are not that bad anymore." Logan said.
"It's like we cured each other." Rory joked and they all laughed.
"That's good to hear. So what does this your new-found life outside of the office include?" Honor asked.
"We have tried different things, like biking and once we went as far as renting a tamdem." Logan said.
"But I was totally hopeless in biking like I'm in every single sport." Rory continued. "Did Logan tell you about the time we went to dive?"
"No, tell me." Honor said excited.
"Well Logan said to me that it was easy and since I can swim, I can dive too. Oh boy was he wrong…"
They chatted for hours and ate lunch that Honor's maid had prepared. When they finally left they promised to meet more often in the future.
---------------------------------------------------
The same night Logan took Rory out to dinner. The restaurant was one of their favourites when they lived in New Haven.
"This place is just like before." Rory said looking around her. The waiter had seated them into a quiet corner of the restaurant.
"Yes it is. I hope the food is still as good as it was before." Logan commented.
"And I hope the portions are still as huge as before." Rory continued.
Logan chuckled. "This was one of the few more fancier places that had portions big enough to fed you."
"I happen to have a healthy appetite."
"I'm not saying it's a bad thing because it's not. I like that you eat. I love taking you to new restaurants since I know you'll order something else than just a salad."
"Well I'm not a rabbit." Rory joked.
The waiter came to ask what they wanted to drink and Logan ordered a bottle of champagne.
"Are we celebrating something?" Rory asked when the waiter had left.
"Nothing particular." Logan answered vaguely without even lifting his eyes from the menu. "So what do you want to eat? There are some new dishes on the menu."
Rory looked at Logan suspiciously but let it go and started reading the menu.
---------------------------------------------------
"I'm full." Rory announced when they stepped out of the restaurant two hours later.
"I'm glad to hear that." Logan said. "We still have one stop to make for tonight."
"Really? Where?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out. But first…" Logan took a blindfold out of his pocket.
"Logan… I like my ability to see." Rory whined.
"And you'll get your ability back as soon as we get to our destination."
"Fine." Rory gave up without more fight. She had learned that with Logan the best surprises were those which included a blindfold.
Logan put the blindfold on Rory and let her inside the car. He walked to the other side of the car and got in.
"Here we go." He said and started the car.
After only twenty minutes he stopped the car.
"We are here." He told Rory.
"Can I take the blindfold off?" Rory asked.
"Not yet. Let me help you out of the car." Logan answered and got out himself to be able to help Rory.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her with him. They walked for a while before he stopped and let go of her.
"Okay, you can take the blindfold off." He said.
Slowly Rory pulled the fabric away from her face and looked around. They were standing on the courtyard of Yale. More accurately exactly where they broke up last spring.
"Rory." Logan said and she turned to look at him. He had gotten down on one knee in front of her. "Last time we stood here things ended badly. We both ended up being miserable. We have gotten over all that bad stuff and now our relationship is stronger than ever. I want to write a different kind of ending to the scene we had here. And that's why, Rory, my Ace, I'm asking you to live with me in San Francisco in a house with an avocado tree in the backyard, to drink coffee with me on University Avenue, to hike with me in the Dish but we can forget the biking since that wasn't your thing. And before all I'm asking you to marry me."
Logan took a ring box out of his pocket and opened it. It was the same ring that he had the previous time. "Rory Gilmore, will you marry me?"
Tears had started streaming down on Rory's cheek when Logan made his little speech. She had gotten her second chance. She could finally make things right.
"Yes." She stammered out and nodded her head. "I'll marry you." This time she didn't hesitate. She had no doubt in her mind whether or not she wanted to marry Logan or if this was the right thing to do.
Logan stood up and wrapped his arms around Rory.
"I love you." Rory whispered to his ear.
"I love you too." Logan answered and pulled back enough to be able to put the ring on Rory's finger.
Rory looked at her finger and cried and laughed at the same time. "Thank you for giving me the second chance. Thank you for giving ma the chance to do what I should have done last time we stood here."
Logan didn't know how to answer her so he kissed her. He put all the love and passion he felt for her into his kiss.
For a long while they stood on the courtyard of Yale kissing and the rest of the world didn't exist to them.
AN: So what do you think of my proposal scene? There will probably be like two or tree more chapters in this story so this wasn't the ending. I'll try to update as soon as I can but it will probably take a week or so.
