A/N: Another chapter is here!! I'm sorry it's been so long, I've been working on the last couple chapters of my other story and this one got lost in the mix for a bit. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Yea, yea...I wish.


"Luke is being stubborn," Lorelai said into her phone, choosing to ignore the glares she was getting from the driver's side of the car.

"Mom," Rory argued, "he's just concerned about you. You are pregnant."

"Yes, I know, but that doesn't mean I have to become an invalid."

"Going home is not a bad idea," Rory offered.

"I don't want to ruin our road trip," Lorelai fought, the statement directed more towards Luke than Rory.

"It isn't ruining it, Lorelai," Luke told her, "I want to make sure you stay healthy. Being on the road isn't good for you and the baby."

"A small detour to Florida isn't going to hurt me or our baby."

"Mom," Rory interjected, feeling a bit ignored. "Go home, Florida is not a little detour, it's completely out of the way. Go home, rest, make a doctor's appointment, you have to be careful."

"Are you insinuating I'm old?" Lorelai asked her daughter.

"Well you certainly aren't sixteen anymore," came Rory's response and Luke laughed.

"Okay, taking you off speakerphone now." Lorelai griped and turned her attention back to Rory, "I can't believe you're calling me old."

"Mom, I'm not calling you old, I'm just saying that at your age you need to be careful."

"But…"

"No buts, we are going home," Luke interjected again and Lorelai just pouted.

"Fine, but you owe me buddy."

"A trip to Florida at some other point in our lives, fine."

"A trip to Disney World with our child," Lorelai counter offered and Luke visibly cringed. "Oh Rory, you missed the look Luke just gave me, it was priceless."

"Mom, be nice," Rory scolded and Lorelai only laughed.

"Fine, Disney World in like six or seven years with our child, but home now," Luke agreed and Lorelai squealed with delight.

"Well, there ya go mom, you got your way."

"Only partially."

"Be glad you got that," Luke mumbled and Lorelai just smirked at him.

"Sorry to break up the party but I've got to go, my lunch break is just about over," Rory interrupted and Lorelai sighed.

"Okay sweets, have a good rest of your day."

"Bye Rory," Luke called into the phone.

"Bye Luke! Bye Mom!"

"Oh, hey, before you hang up, when I get somewhere quiet and alone you better believe I'm going to demand more details of your coffee with Logan," Lorelai whispered into the phone and Rory smiled.

"Wouldn't have it any other way, love you."

"Love you too kid, see ya."


Rory hung up the phone and laughed. It had only been a day since she'd had coffee with Logan, but they'd been in almost constant contact. An email here, a text message there, and then of course there was that hour long conversation on the phone last night when neither could get to sleep. The conversation she'd just had with her mom and Luke made her miss home, but she was glad she was here, glad for the opportunity, glad for a second chance.

Settling back into her work, she hashed out her next story. It was a rather boring piece on some new meeting the city board held last week, but Rory's boss had marveled at her ability to make the most boring pieces interesting to the reader. She had a good feeling she was going to be staying here for awhile.

Smiling when the envelope on her computer screen announced an email, she hurriedly opened it to see what Logan was up to.

From: Logan. Rory. Dinner?

Hey beautiful! I was wondering if you would do me the pleasure of allowing me to treat you to dinner tonight. Pick you up at eight?

- Logan

Rory quickly responded and rushed through her afternoon.

Dinner with Logan? Am I really ready for this? Rory asked herself, chuckling she nodded. Oh yeah.


"I'm home! Oh I missed you home!" Lorelai cried as she entered the Crap Shack happily. "Living room it's so good to see you."

"You really are crazy," Luke said shaking his head. Lorelai turned and simply batted her eyelashes.

"But you love it," she responded and he could do nothing but agree.

"SUGA!" Luke cringed when he heard Babette's voice from the entry way. He hated the fact their neighbors were so nosey.

""Oh Babette," Lorelai called back, "it's so good to see you."

"What are you doing home so early? We weren't expecting you for another couple weeks."

"I know," Lorelai said with a frown and Luke wondered if she would tell her now or wait. She was going to tell her now, "we decided to come home early, Luke and Rory were worried about me in my condition."

"Your cond...are you saying what I think you're saying?" Babette's voice shrieked in question and Lorelai nodded happily, the biggest grin on her face.

Babette threw her arms around Lorelai and then around Luke while exclaiming, "oh my god, oh my god! I've gotta go."

Before they knew it she was out the door, running down the street.

"The whole town is going to know in ten minutes," Luke complained and Lorelai wrapped her arms around Luke.

"You doubt her, my guess they all know now." Luke couldn't help but chuckle and Lorelai smiled. This was going to work out just fine.


Rory lay with Logan's arm wrapped around her. Dinner had been marvelous, he took her to this little mom and pop restaurant on the north side of the city where they were able to talk and laugh, just like old times. They had the 'serious' conversation, both revealing that they were in this for the long haul.

Rory couldn't imagine her life ever being better. Her stomach growling lightly she cautiously moved to get off the bed, careful not to wake Logan. Stumbling to his kitchen she searched for something to curb her appetite just enough were she'd be able to get much, much needed rest.

Noticing a bowl of fruit on the island she automatically grabbed for an apple. As she took a bite of the juicy fruit, she paused in mid bite.

I'm eating an apple? she asked herself, willingly? There must be something...like mother, like daughter? No, no, no, it couldn't be. Certainly not from tonight. Though, it hasn't been too long since we were together. What a month, month and a half. It could be...we did have the apartment to ourselves that last night and we didn't hold anything back.

But really? Me...no. No, it couldn't be.
