Wow, thank you so much for all your lovely reviews! And for all your follows as well! :) Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 2

Rory sat on the couch in the living room the following morning, going over the conversation she had with Logan the evening before. She wiped some tears away as she thought about what had been said.

"Ace?" Logan answered.

"Hi.." Rory said quietly.

"Is everything ok?" Logan asked concerned.

"Not really." Rory said.

"Rory, talk to me. I'm just confused. You made it clear at our last meeting that we were saying goodbye for good. Does that not involve phone calls?" Logan said.

"No, I meant what I said. What we were doing was wrong but...I..I had to call you." Rory said. "I needed to."

"Ace, you're really messing with my mind here. One minute you're saying we can't see each other again and then the next you're phoning me." Logan said getting frustrated.

"Logan, I'm pregnant." Rory said quietly. Silence filled the other side of the phone. "Logan?"

"Is it...?" He asked shocked.

"It's yours. 100%." She said.

"Are you keeping it?" Logan asked, taking Rory by surprise with his blunt question.

"Yes. Of course I am." Rory said.

"Really? Are you...?" He asked.

"Yes." Rory cut him off.

"Oh god, I can't deal with this now. I'm meant to be getting married next month!" Logan exclaimed.

"I know and I'm sorry. Look, you can be as involved as you like. I would understand." Rory said. "I know you're getting married but I thought you should know..."

"God Rory! Why did you have to spring this on me now? Did you think I'd just cancel the wedding and fly across the road and be at your beck and call?" He exclaimed.

"Well no but I thought..." Rory said, trying to blink back tears. "I thought you deserved to know you were going to be a dad."

"Well I wish you hadn't told me! I'm marrying Odette. Things are finally good in my family and if all this comes out, it's going to mess everything up." Logan said angrily.

Rory was taken aback by his anger. She knew he would be shocked but the anger, she wasn't expecting this. She suddenly felt herself getting angry too, though. "You know it takes two to make a baby! This isn't just on me!" She exclaimed. "You chose to come to Stars Hollow. You chose to let me see your room."

Logan groaned. "I can't deal with this right now." He took a deep breath. "Look, I'll send you money ok? To help. But I can't be involved. I've got too much to lose." He said.

"I don't need your money." Rory said.

"Well I'm sending some anyway. You're right. This was down to me as much as you." Logan said quietly. "I'm sorry Ace."

"I should go." Rory said quietly.

"Rory..." Logan sighed.

"Bye Logan." Rory said before hanging up. She wiped the tears from her eyes and lay down on her bed. What exactly did she expect? Did she really think Logan would just drop everything and fly over?


Luke was lying down on Lorelai's bed, staring up at the ceiling. He thought back to the conversation they had had the night before.

He was getting into bed just as Lorelai appeared from the bathroom.

"So..uh..Rory told me something this morning.." She said.

"Oh yeah?" Luke said, wondering if he was about to find out what had been going on between them. He had seen the subtle glances.

"Yeah. She had some...news she wanted to share with me." Lorelai said hesitantly.

"What news? Work news?" Luke asked.

"No. Uh personal news..." Lorelai said. She looked over at Luke who was waiting patiently for her to continue. "She's pregnant." She said quietly.

"What?" Luke said shocked. "When, how?" He asked.

"You really want to know how?" Lorelai laughed nervously.

Luke chuckled. "I guess I know how. So it's this Patrick guy's?" He said.

"Paul." Lorelai corrected. "But..uh..no, it isn't his. It's...Logan's."

"Logan?" Luke said confused. "Huntzberger?"

"The very one." She said.

"I didn't even know they were seeing each other?" He said confused.

"Neither did I until recently." Lorelai admitted. "Apparently Dee Dee from London was actually Logan. She's been seeing him every time she's there."

Luke rubbed his hand through his hair trying to get his head round it all. "Well...I guess their feelings didn't go away then. At least they know each other well..."

"He's engaged." Lorelai said quietly.

"What?" He said surprised.

Lorelai sighed. "They sort of had a no strings arrangement going on. Nothing that serious except now it has become serious."

"Ah geez..." Luke said. "I always knew that boy was trouble! He made Rory steal a yacht and then he broke her heart just because she didn't want to get married at 22." He said angrily. "I have a good mind to go to London and kick his ass."

"I was shocked too." Lorelai admitted. "But Rory's scared. She needs everyone right now. She doesn't need her step father going to jail because he killed the father of her baby."

Luke sighed. "Can I at least imagine it in my head?"

Lorelai smirked at that. She then sighed. "She was scared you'd hate her."

"What?" Luke said surprised. "Why would I hate her?"

"Well maybe not hate but be disappointed in her. She knows she's done wrong." Lorelai said.

Luke sighed. "I'm just...surprised." He admitted.

"Same here." Lorelai said.

"Should I go down a talk to her?" Luke asked.

"No, wait until tomorrow. She knows I was going to tell you. Besides she's making a certain phone call tonight." She said.

"Oh." Luke said.

"Come on, let's go to sleep. It's been a long day." She said.

Luke nodded and they both lay down under the covers.

Luke sighed and looked over at Lorelai who was still asleep. He quietly got up and headed downstairs. He stopped when he saw Rory on the couch. "Oh hey.." He said.

"Hi.." Rory said quietly.

Luke went down slowly not really knowing what to say. "So..uh..how are you feeling?" He asked.

Rory looked over at him and knew from his expression that he knew. "I'm ok."

"Your mom..uh..told me about the...well..." He said awkwardly.

"Baby?" Rory finished for him. "Yeah I knew she was going to tell you."

"She also said you were making a call last night." He said hesitantly.

Rory felt tears well up in her eyes and she tried to blink them back.

"I'm assuming it didn't go well?" Luke sighed going over to sit next to her.

"He wants nothing to do with either of us." Rory said quietly. "He was so angry..."

"Angry? This was down to him too..." Luke frowned.

"I know and I think he knows that. That's why he was angry. He said he had too much to lose and that he was marrying Odette. Things with his family are actually ok at the moment so I guess he just doesn't want to ruin that. And it would be ruined if all this came out." Rory said.

"So he's just forgetting he's going to be a dad?" Luke said feeling his blood boil.

"He said he'd send money to help but...yeah, pretty much." Rory said wiping away a tear that had escaped down her cheek.

"Oh Rory.." Luke said softly.

Rory turned to him. "I know what me and Logan did was wrong but something kept pulling me to him. I couldn't stop it. But now I've screwed up everything and I'm going to have to do this all alone!" She sniffed.

"Hey look at me." Luke said firmly. "You will not be alone. You've got your mom and you've got me. We'll going to be here for you for whatever you need." He said.

Rory gave him a tremulous smile. "You don't hate me for doing what I did? You don't think I'm a horrible person?"

"Everyone makes mistakes, Rory." He said softly. "That doesn't make you a horrible person."

"Thanks Luke." Rory said quietly. She gave him a small smile. "I'm really glad you're officially my step father now. It's about time."

Luke chuckled. "It does feel pretty great." He said. "Which actually reminds me..." He said getting up and going over to the music system. He got out a cd and put it in and then pressed play. "I wanted to have a dance with you at the wedding but I didn't get the chance. Would you mind humouring me and doing it now?" He asked.

Rory smiled as My Little Girl started playing.

"Cheesy I know but I've not got much of an imagination when it comes to music." He smirked.

Rory laughed and got up, taking his hand. "I think it's perfect." She said softly. She felt safe as she and Luke danced around the living room. She looked up at him. "Thanks Luke." She said softly.

"We'll be here for whatever you need ok? You'll never be alone." Luke said.

Rory smiled. "Good. Because I want my kid to know his Grandpa." She said softly. "I want him or her to have a relationship with you like I did with my Grandpa." She said.

Luke smiled. "I'd like that." He said softly.

Rory gave him a tremulous smile and then leant her head on his shoulder as the song played on until the end. "I love you Luke."

"I love you too kid." Luke said gruffly. He suddenly heard movement on the stairs and he looked over to see Lorelai standing there, smiling lovingly at him through her tears. He gave her a smile and ducked his head slightly, embarrassed that she had obviously overheard everything.

So I hope you liked it! :) I know it was probably a bit cheesy at the end but I always imagined Luke and Rory having a dance. Please keep your reviews coming and I really love reading them! :)
