For a small town, of 100 people you'd never think you'd be surprised to see one of them. But yet it never failed, she's always run into that 101st person, that did shock you. Today it happened to be an ex boyfriend and his ever so pregnant wife and child. Rory had heard from the other people in town that Dean and Lindsey had gotten together after the male-yale party, but they had moved back to Ohio with Dean and his family. Turned out Lindsey was pregnant while she and Dean were dating. So now they stood in front of Luke's making attempting to make awkward conversation.
"Dean, we weren't expecting to see you here!?" Rory said
"Yeah, came into town for Lindsey's dad's 60th birthday, this is Allie and Tommy." Dean said
"Nice to meet you" Rory said looking at the 7 year olds. "Well it's been nice seeing you, we have to get into Luke's, we were promised lunch." With that they awkwardly sad bye and moved into the diner.
"Ugh!" Rory said and moved straight to the back making a beeline to the bathroom. Logan followed her not really sure what was happening. Rory barely made it into the bathroom and vomited. "I was trying so hard not to throw up on his shoes." Rory laughed… Logan handed her a piece of gum and laughed along.
"you know ace, if you don't want your mother to know you're pregnant we might want to tell baby to hold off the nausea until tomorrow." Logan laughed…
"Just rumple you're clothes a bit, make people think we just had sex." Rory said with a straight face.
"I'm not going to pretend…" Logan said as he began walking toward Rory putting a hand on her hip.
"Logan we are NOT having sex right, now my breath probably smells like vomit…." Rory was interrupted by Logan's lips on hers, he began to move his hand up her leg. He was about to remove her underwear when there was a knock on the door
"Rory are you ok?!" she heard Luke's voice through the door. Her face turned a deep red.
"Yeah Luke I'm fine. I ate some funny sushi last night" She yelled back.
" you know I always try to convince your mother that sushi is going to kill you…"
"Luke, I'm ok I'll be out in 5 minutes" Logan nipped her neck "Maybe 10" they hear him walk away. At this point Logan had Rory just the way he wanted flustered and in the need of a quickie.
7 minutes later Logan and Rory walked out of the bathroom, sure no one was going to suspect she was pregnant. But then she remembered , she was expected to consume enough coffee this weekend to keep Columbia in business. She read in the book some coffee was ok, maybe one cup, but not the normal vat, and truth be told it was making her sick lately.
"Luke can we have 2 iced teas." Rory yelled. She looked around there was still no sign of her mother.
"Sure, what can I get you to eat?" Luke said
"well we are waiting for mom, she said she was on her way from the inn." And with that Lorelai barged thru the front door of Luke's.
"daughter you have arrived!" Lorelai said. "coffee please" Lorelai said sitting down at the counter.
"darling daughter. Luke here tells me you ate bad sushi, and all I have to say is that's what you get when you don't eat it from Al's pancake world." Lorelai said with a straight face.
"Yea, it was a new place by work… don't think they will be lasting much longer." Rory said.
"hey, Lorelai" Logan said giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I was the smart one and ate the cheeseburger from the diner.." Logan laughed.
"it seems that you two have traded spaces."
"who's ready for the dance-a-thon. I made us all the best costumes this year. But it seems I had to find a new partner because a certain someone won't dance with me ." Lorelai said giving Luke a look.
"well who have you recruited because I mean the last time you got the guy from riverdance and the wife threatened to kill you. " Rory said.
"well I just so happened to post a facebook status about it and , a exotic man from Australia volunteered."
"you and Finn are facebook friends? " Logan asked confused.
"of course we are, he has drunken messaged me a few times, it's so amusing sometimes. I tell Luke he's by exotic lover and he should be jealous." Lorelai laughed. "but he just laughs it off. Wait until he sees us tonight! HAHAHAHAH" Lorelai said evilly.
"While we are on the subject of facebook, grandma emailed me and asked how does one "get a wall" and "tag pictures". I WILL NOT TELL HER OR SHOW HER! I WILL IGNORE THAT EMAIL UNTIL I DIE." Rory yelled. "and last week at Friday night dinner did you not hear grandpa ask how does he "tweet that he's at Friday night dinner"?
"They're old and not allowed to be in contact with social media." Logan said. Logan 's phone began to ring . He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Finn "Man your ears must have been ringing, Lorelai was just talking about you." Logan said walking out to the side walk.
" did she tell you how we are dance partners tonight.? And that we are going to run away and get married" Finn said.
"NO, but she can't wait for you to come and wear your outfit." Logan said.
"Have you seen them mate.?" Finn said
"No,but I fear they will have glitter and/or feathers if I do know my mother in law well enough"
"Music to my ears" finn said. "but listen I'm on my way where should I park or meet you."
"Park at the house, call us when you are there. We should be back within the next hour we are just eating lunch now. Talk to you later." Logan said as he walked back into the diner.
"Sorry, that was Finn, he was very excited to come to Starshollow" Logan said.
"that's ok but I ordered you a burger. " Rory said giving him a quick peck as he sat down "thanks what did you get" Logan said giving Rory a look of concern.
"grilled cheese and soup." Rory said patting her stomach.
They were walking back to the house , Logan was making some calls about one of the paper's and it gave Lorelai and Rory time to talk.
"so what was that look Logan gave you before."
"what look" Rory said staring at the ground.
"I don't know it was a weird look I've never seen him give you" Lorelai said "everything all right?" Lorelai said concerned. "you know you look a little pale are you sure you're ok " Lorelai said switching into full mom mode, checking for a fever.
"yea it was the sushi, it'll pass " Rory said .
"well I have to head to the Inn for a while and instruct the guest how to proceed to the dance-a-thon tonight. I should be back at the house by 4 and then we will head down to the square around 6 the first song starts at 6:30." Lorelai said she gave Rory a quick kiss on the forehead and turned to walk towards the Inn."
Rory caught up with Logan and heard him say "yea that's fine, I'll fly out for Tuesday, yea there's a board meeting Monday in NY and then I'll fly out from JFK that evening. Ok talk to you soon." Logan said and hung up the phone. And grabbed Rory's hand to hold.
"where are you flying to on Monday?" Rory asked a little upset Logan was going to leave.
"San Fran, the paper we bought is hiring a new editor, they had 20 applicants, narrowed it down to 10 and they just want the Huntzberger seal of approval on who they want hired." Logan said.
"Can I come?" Rory asked.
"I was hoping you could stay here, and visit the Hartford office, for the layout of the monthly magazine." Logan said. He saw Rory's face drop.
"yea I guess…" Rory said and walked into the house.
"Ace, don't be upset." Logan said. "there will be plenty of other trips. " Logan said shutting the front door.
"of course now that I'm pregnant, I'm suddenly debilitated and can't travel ." Rory said
"Rory, I never said that, but you know that Monday was the board meeting in NY and Tuesday was the final approval for the lay out for the magazine, we were both going to go, now one of us has to go to San Francisco to help out. I am being logical here. " Logan said a little annoyed at first. But then he remembered reading that pregnant women have crazy hormones, one minute they are laughing then they cry then they're angry. So being rational he just pulled her into a hug. It was going to be a long nine months.
