Logan's POV

Logan sat watching TV, Rory asleep in his lap. It had been a rough couple of days, but now that most everything was settled, it was time to relax and enjoy life in a way he hadn't for twenty-four years. He yawned and glanced at the clock, not realizing how late it was. Sliding out from under Rory's sleeping form, Logan picked up Rory up and started to walk towards the bedroom, being careful not to awake her.

"What are you doing?" Rory asked as Logan was laying her on the bed

"Just caring you to bed Ace."

"I wasn't tired."

"I know ace, but its time for bed."

"Alright" Rory said closing her eyes.

Logan smiled as she became instantly lost in sleep. Looking down at her, Logan knew he could do this everyday. The baby would be a new kind of adventure, and he knew it wouldn't be easy, but it seemed like something he was ready for. He was happy, a feeling he only seemed to get when Rory was around, a feeling like everything was going to be all right.

Lorelai's POV

"Luke" Lorelai said surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"I just couldn't stand to think that we are over."

"Luke…"

"We are meant to be together, despite the mistakes that both of us have made, this needs to work out. I need this to be fixed"

"Everything was wrong for such a long time. For this to work you would to have to let me into your life, I am tired of feeling like an outsider."

"I am not sure I am ready for you to know April, it just is to soon."

"To soon, Luke you have had a year, and the whole time you kept me away. I can't do that anymore. I won't do it anymore. I asked you to marry me, and you said no Luke, you let me walk away. I don't think my heart will survive if it ever happened again."

"I won't let it, I love you Lorelai"

"I can't be with you if you won't let me into you life, it just doesn't work that way." She said, tears forming in her eyes. She hated to cry, but she couldn't help it.

"I'll try, but try to understand…"

"No Luke, I am sick of understanding. I am tired of waiting for you to make a commitment; this is the same problem from that night. Don't you remember how we both wanted to be together for so long, and then it happened Luke." She said crying a little harder now. "It happened, and we were happy. But somewhere along the way I stopped being happy, and that's not fair"

"Of course you do. But Lorelai, can't we work this out. It can't be over…I don't want it to be over," regret seeping into his voice.

"I will always love you, but this is how it has to be."

"I won't let this end, not again. I just need a second chance to prove that I can do it right."

"I think you used your second chance a long time ago. Good bye Luke."

"Good bye Lorelai." Luke said, turning towards the door.

As soon as he was gone, she sank to the floor crying. Of all the relationships she had been in, this was the most important to her, and it was over. She looked around the house, and couldn't help but feel alone.

Rory's POV

Rory woke up with the warmth of the sun on her face, and Logan's arm wrapped protectively around her waist. She felt safe for the first time in months. Sighing she eased herself out from under him, and padded to the kitchen to get her morning coffee fix. She was standing in the doorframe of the bedroom when she heard Logan's voice behind her.

"Ace" He called.

"Yes?" Rory said mischievously, turning around and leaning herself against the doorframe

"Come back to bed."

"I can't I already a list up to my elbow of things I have to do this afternoon."

"Forget the list, you are always making lists. How about today we lay in bed until noon and then go to a movie or something."

"Well I already see a few flaws in your plan."

"Such as…"

"Well it is already twelve fifteen for one thing."

"Oh, well then we'll stay in bed until two and forget the movie."

"Logan, shouldn't you be out looking for a new job?"

"I have the paper right here, and I have already circled a few"

"Ok Frodo, keep on searching." She said teasingly

She turned and went to the kitchen to get some coffee, and then ran to catch the bus. As she was closing the door she heard the phone ring and Logan pick it up but she was to much in a hurry to think about who it could be.
