Lorelai parked her jeep in an empty spot right in front of the diner, but she just sat in the car. She couldn't force herself to go into Luke's and apologize. If the past had taught her anything, it was that Luke needed his space right now. But she wanted to so badly to clear the air between them. "And look where it got me the last time I bugged him before he was ready." She hadn't given his space when that was all he had asked for, and she had thought for sure the relationship was over. So she needed to give him space, this time, and maybe things would heal a little faster. But after they stopped fighting about the wedding, she was still going to have to explain what happened with Christopher. There was no way that Luke would understand how upset she had been, after he had said that marriage would just have to wait. He wouldn't understand that she had gone to Chris for comfort, and now regretted it. That Christopher was a passing ship that came and docked every once and a while. Not that she would use that analogy in the argument. Luke wouldn't understand that She loved him, and that was all he needed to know. She had made a mistake the argument that now seemed inevitable and she saw results being devastating to her heart. With the thought of loosing Luke came silent tears. Looking at the diner one more time, Lorelai backed the jeep out of the parking space and drove towards home to change for work.
Logan's POV
"Hey Ace what's going on?" Logan asked. It was eight o' clock and time for the first official phone call home. Talking to Rory was his favorite part of day by far.
"Nothing much here"
"You sure Ace? You sound a little distracted."
"Yeah, its just school started this week and it seems like I have a million things I have to do before graduation in the spring. Plus the paper is taking up a lot of my time already, so I have been busy. How was the first official week at the London paper?"
"Hectic. My father defiantly will be utilizing my time here. There was some days that I thought I would never see my apartment again."
"Oh." Rory said absentmindedly.
"Are you sure you're OK Ace?"
"Yeah just tired."
"Whatever you say." But he wasn't convinced. Something was wrong, and Logan knew that she wasn't going to share. She was too stubborn to admit when she needed help, and he wasn't going to push her one it. If it were important she would share. Sighing he turned his attention back the conversation he was having with Rory, wondering how long it had been since the last word was spoken.
"Listen," Rory said cutting into the silence, "I think that I am going to go."
And with that she hung up. Logan sat with the phone next to his ear for a minute. There was something wrong, and he was going to get to the bottom of it, forget about letting her come to him.
Rory's POV
Rory knew that Logan would be suspicious. She had done a horrible job hiding the fact that something was wrong. She knew that part of it was that she felt bad for lying to Logan, especially about something so big. She also was a bad liar, keeping stuff from her mother had always been impossible, and so it wasn't surprising that the same concept would occur with Logan. Sighing she walked to the kitchen and started to make a pot of coffee. Coffee always made everything seem, at least a little bit, better. She was going to have to get better at hiding this if this pregnancy was going to stay a secret. What was the worst that could happen if she told him? The worst-case scenario immediately came to her...he would leave her. "Stupid," she thought. That reality was the whole reason for the secret keeping in the first place. It seemed, at least to Rory, that the whole ordeal was quickly snowballing out of control. The coffee would be ready soon enough and she could drown out all her thoughts, or at least try. She took a few steps into the living room and a new thought occurred to her. So what if Logan left. Sure she would be devastated and it would be hard to raise a baby all by herself. But damn it she could do it, she was a Gilmore. If he wanted to leave, let him. With a new determination she stalked into the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed Logan's cell phone number.
