I fail. And I feel awful for not updating this. I know how much it sucks when a story you like isn't updated for years and all you want to know is what happens next. Well, here is what happens next. I know it is short, but I'm in law school now and short is what I can manage. I also lost the passion I had for this story, I started writing it during high school when my friends and I were going through serious boy issues and it inspired me. I'm trying to channel those memories and that passion again, so that I can write for all of you. I feel that I wrote myself into a corner with the end of the last chapter and I'm trying to get out of it, so please forgive me if the resolution to the Rory/Lorelai confrontation isn't what it should be. I want to get back to the Rory/Logan side of it.

I want to thank everyone who kept reviewing, and adding the story to their favorites/alerts. It reminded me about this story and about how people look to fan fiction for an escape from reality. It was nice to see that people are still interested in it.

Enjoy!

As she tried to absorb everything that Rory was telling her, Lorelai saw a marked change in her daughter. Rory was no longer the little girl that she left a few weeks ago, she was woman. A woman who was deeply in love with a man who loved her back. She saw in Rory what she saw in herself when she fell in love with Christopher all those years ago. Pure passion, pure love, pure devotion and dedication. It was then that she knew that Rory and Logan were going to last.

She looked into Rory's eyes and finished her thought. "You were scared that your relationship was going to change because you were going to be truly apart for the first time since you got together."

Rory lifted her chin and truly looked at her mother for the first time, she knew then that Lorelai understood. "yeah…Mom I'm so sorry."

Pulling her closer, Lorelai said, "it's ok. I forgive you. I understand what you were feeling. I felt the same thing when your dad and I got together. I didn't know what it would mean when we had to really be apart. I lashed out too, just not at my mother."

Lorelai closed her eyes and tried to absorb everything that she had just discovered and the rollercoaster that she had just been through. After a few minutes Rory's weak voice broke the silence once again with that one word. "Mommy?"

Immediately her eyes snapped open and Lorelai saw the look on her daughter's face. She knew then that her baby was no longer a baby, that Rory had given herself to Logan and that right now she needed her mother.

Rory watched as the wave of realization crossed Lorelai's face. It wasn't until that moment that Rory saw how strong the bond was between the two of them, that with only a single word her mother knew what she was trying to tell her. She sat up and wrapped herself in a cocoon of blanket, needing to feel as safe as possible.

Lorelai finally broke the silence. "When?"

Not able to look her mother in the eye, Rory stared at her feet and mumbled "last night."

Rory waited for Lorelai to say something, but when nothing happened she continued talking. "That's part of why I came home this morning. I needed to tell you, I needed my mommy. You and I have always been able to tell each other pretty much everything and I always promised you that when it did happen I would tell you right away. So here I am. Telling you right away."

Lorelai looked at Rory closely while she was speaking, it was only then that Lorelai saw how much her daughter had grown up in the past few months. Rory was always a mature child, and when Christopher and Lorelai thought they had seen the end of how amazing she was, Rory managed to surprise them again.

Rory Gilmore never thought she would see the day when her mother as at a loss for words, but apparently finding out that her only daughter was no longer a virgin managed to silence Lorelai. "Mom? Are you in shock or something?"

Hearing her daughter's voice again snapped Lorelai out her daze. She looked at Rory's face again, and just took a deep breath before speaking.

"Rory, I'm not going to tell you that I'm happy for you or that this was a-okay. Obviously I would have preferred you to remain a virgin until your fortieth birthday, but you are a responsible young woman and, as much as it pains me to say this, I trust your and Logan's judgment." Lorelai took another breath and fought back the instinct to go kill Logan Huntzburger.

Rory listened as her mother kept talking, not believing what she was hearing.

"You and Logan have always loved each other, maybe not the way you love each other now, but you have always loved each other. I also know that Logan would never do anything to hurt you, you are his soul mate. And when someone is lucky enough to find his soul mate, he doesn't give that person up and he does everything in his power to hold onto her. Logan found you Rory, he found his soul mate in you and you found yours in him. That is how Iknow that what happened last night, as much as I wish it hadn't happened, is not a bad thing."

Rory rested her head on her mother's shoulder, gave her a hug, and simply said, "Thank you Mom. I love you."

Lorelai sighed and closed her eyes; no matter how grown up Rory became, she would always be her baby. "I love you too Rory."

Lorelai and Rory just leaned back on the sofa and watched Willy Wonka. Each of them was in another world, thinking about what had just happened and what it would mean for their relationship and their life.
