Josh exited the elevator to find the family cooing over the pink bundle in Logan's arms. With a sob he raced to scoop up his daughter. "She's beautiful" Rory grinned, "What's her name?"
"Lucille Logan Huntzberger Gross" Josh said with a sigh.
"Perfect" Rory replied.
"Honor?"
"No word yet."
Just then the doctor emerged "she will be fine, she had a broken arm, a ruptured spleen and three broken ribs, but she's tough and will make a full recovery."
Two days later
Rory and Logan had picked up Eli and took Lulu home and were staying at Honor and Joshs until the nanny returned that evening. Rory was feeding Lulu in the nursery when Logan leaned against the door jamb. "Well you are a natural" he whispered.
"Well i took some time off when the twins were born so I got a crash course in newborns, and April and I try to give mom and Luke a free weekend here and there."
"Rory, I know we were just finding our way back to each other and I know you wanted to take some time but I've been living in a hotel suite while my guy finds me a suitable home and I was wondering what you thought about us moving back in together?
"Are you trying to say you're homeless Huntzberger? Your things are in the hall and you have nowhere to go?" she said with a smile.
"That's exactly what I'm saying." he smirked.
"Well, as long as Henry comes along I say call the movers and come on in." She grinned.
Logan moved in and kissed the top of hers and Lulu's heads. "I love you Ace!"
I'm going to take Eli to see Honor and Josh, you okay here?
Yeah, I'm just going to put Lu down and then call my mom and check in with my staff.
Rory settled into an easy chair with her phone and her surface, she noticed 3 missed calls from Gemma but decided to call her mom first.
"Whitehouse Press Secretary Rory Gilmore in relationship with Washington Post Editor and Huntzberger Publishing Group Heir Logan Huntzberger conflict of interest or can Ms. Gilmore remain inpartial" would you like me to read the story? " Lorelai said when she answered the phone."
"Wait what?" Rory said
"Oh boy kid, this story is blowing up everywhere and the fact that you lived together in college, turned down his very public proposal and this delightful quote from Shira Huntzberger "Rory Gilmore has used her association with the Huntzberger family to get where she is today, if Logan is finally getting something in return then it's about time."
"Oh man ... Well I guess this is a good a time as any to tell you that we are moving back in together. Loom mom, I gotta go call Gemma, talk later."
Rory hung up the phone and dialed
"Gem it's me, I've already heard so I need you to do exactly what I say, call the press corps to the Brady room for 6:00 this evening, we're moving up my first briefing, I'll be in the office by 4:30."
Rory stood outside of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room with her team and President, she smothed her skirt and opened the doors to enter. President Obama stood at her side and her staff filled in behind her in a show of support. Rory waited for the din to die down and smiled at Logan who was leaning against the back wall.
"Good evening everyone and thank you for being here. I'd like to begin by saying that I have done a lot of research on the position of White House Press Secretary and what I would bring to the position, I'd like to begin by saying to you the same thing that President Dwight Eisenhower's Press Secretary James Haggerty said in his first press briefing on January 21, 1953. He stated and I quote "I would like to say to you fellows that I am nit going to play any favorites and I am not going to give out any exclusive stories on the president or the white house.
When I say to you "I don't know," I don't know.
When I say "no comment," it means I'm not talking but not necessarily any more than that.
Aside from that I'm here to help you get the news. I am also here to work for one man who happens to be the president and I will do that to the best of my ability."
I know that there has been speculation about my personal life and my ability to maintain impartiality in this position so I am going to adress the issue of my relationship with Logan Huntzberger and this will be the one and only time that I address this issue. Yes,it is true that Logan and I were in a relationship in college and yes it is true that after a long time apart we have made a decision to renew that relationship and that we are living together. This does not mean that I will be playing favorites with any of the papers in the Huntzberger Publishing Group umbrella. Logan and I have often found ourselves in situations where we have worked together, I was his editor at the Yale Daily News and we are perfectly capable of maintaining a distance between our personal and professional relationships. Added to that, many of you have a personal relationship with members of both mine and other branches staff members and hopefully that does not get in the way of your impartiality. I've known many of you for a long time and I hope that my reputation speaks for itself. I continue to be the same straight shooter I have always been. That is the extent of my statement but I will take questions."
The room erupted "Jason" Rory pointed to a reporter from the new york times.
"Rory, can you address the statement made by Shira Huntzberger made to the times?"
"Well I can't speak for Shira, but I will say that given the accident that was reported on last week when she was spoken to, she was understandably distraught. As to the statement that I have used my association with the Huntzberger family, I can only ask you to go ahead and dig in, most of the work that I have done is available on line and speaks for itslef, so make your own judgements. Yes, Stacy"
"Rory can I ask how Honor Huntzberger and her children are doing?"
"Honor is one tough cookie and she is recovering slowly but surely, the children are both doing remarkably well, in fact little Eli whooped me in chutes and ladders 9 times out of 10. Kyle?"
"Is it true that you are the heiress to the Hayden fortune?"
"Christopher Hayden is in fact my father, he is also alive and well, as to the distribution of his assets when he passes I have no idea, but you may call him and ask him yourself."
"That's all for tonight, my staff will be distributing new press packets and I will see you all Monday."
Amongst shouts of "Rory" and "Mr. President" the group exited the room.
Once in the hall Barak gave her a quick hug and said "forged in fire and stronger for it, great job Gilmore."
