Chapter Nine
Rory POV
She woke up when the sun began to stream in through her windows and she noticed the empty space on the bed beside her, clearly Logan was awake already. She checked the time and saw it was already 9.45. Their brunch with the Haydens was set for 11 o'clock so she decided she would have to get up now to get ready.
"Logan sweetheart where are you?" she called to the common room and waited for a reply. They had spent the night in his dorm again because his friends were out again.
"Yeah Ace is everything alright?" he questioned as he came into the room holding a breakfast tray laden with food and large coffee mugs.
"No everything is fine can I have the coffee now?" she teased as she reached for the large cup of black coffee. After their time spent in Europe Logan knew exactly how she took her coffee and that the first cup of the day had to be as black and strong as you could possibly make it.
"Yes take it, eat your breakfast and then get ready we need to leave in like 45 minutes"
"Ok" they finished eating together then Rory left to take a shower as Logan got dressed. For once they managed to get out the door at a reasonable time because women could take forever to get ready and just delay everything but clearly today was not one of those times.
They sat in Logan's Porsche on the way to Hartford Country Club thinking how they were going to do this one. Trix wasn't with them as it would've seemed strange and besides she didn't think the Haydens would have many problems after seeing the two so in love and seeing Rory well looked after.
"This one should be easy compared to last night and the one we will be doing tonight" Logan said trying to motivate her to leave the car but she was being stubborn again.
"What if they get mad at me like mom did then what do we do. I really don't like it when people are mad at me or hate me, it's not nice."
"They won't get mad they love you, they may be upset they missed it but we plan on doing a vowel renewal after we graduate so they can accept that"
"Let's get this over with" They walked hand in hand in to the club and made their way to the dining hall and stopped at the hostess podium.
"Hi we're here for brunch with the Haydens" Rory said to the woman waiting and let her lead them to the table.
Strobe and Christopher both rose as they approached the table and greeted them.
"Hey kiddo it's really good to see you again, and who is this?" Christopher was sure that whatever his eldest had called them here for had something to do with this young man and he could make guesses but he wanted her to say it.
"Dad, Nana, granddad I'd like you to meet Logan Huntzberger. He is my husband." Everyone could tell she lowered her voice to avoid eavesdroppers.
Chris nearly spat his drink all over the table as he thought on his daughter's words, he thought the guy was a boyfriend not a husband but clearly he was wrong. He looked at his parents and saw they were similarly shocked.
"Honey did you just call this young man your husband?" Francine had recovered enough to start trying to get answers.
"Yes Nana he is my husband" Rory was beginning to wonder about her father and grandfather; they were being really quiet it was starting to get her worried.
"How did you meet Logan darling, I was sure Mitchum said something about him being in Fiji this year so he wasn't at Yale" Strobe knew Mitchum Huntzberger, they did business together and socialised in the same circles so he was curious as to how his angel met the wayward trouble maker.
"We met while in Europe over the summer in a café in Italy."
"Yes sir I actually watched her for a couple of days in the same café before I worked up the nerve to talk to her, we hung out together and then I asked if she would let me follow her through her trip and she said yes" Logan was trying to get them to understand their feelings for one another.
"After we left Paris and before we came home we took a trip to London where I saw Gran and I was thinking about coming back to Yale and all that we would face and how it might break us up and I realised how much I loved Logan"
Logan again took over the story telling as he could see comprehension dawning on them.
"I came to the same realisation while she was with her Gran and thinking on Hartford life I asked her to marry me and she said yes. We had Trix act as a witness and just did it, now were telling people."
"Rory does your mom and grandparents know?" Chris knew if they didn't there would be hell to pay.
"Yeah they know now and mom really didn't take it well, said I was going against the plan and I was marrying into society. It's not like I'm going to be a trophy wife regardless of what anyone says, I'm not giving up my dreams."
"Well that's very good, Logan what do you plan on doing?" Strobe wanted to make sure this young man was good enough for his granddaughter. He had heard things from Mitchum that Logan was a slacker and a play boy and he didn't want his granddaughter hurt.
"Well I have to bring my grades up and spend more time at the YDN to get my father off my back and then we're going to have to re arrange my plans for after graduation. I do not intend on going to London and working on the business side if things just yet.. I want to write for a while first maybe do some editing but not business work yet."
"And do you plan on taking over the family business?" Logan could see where he was going with this and decided he liked this man. He wanted to make sure Rory and any other family were well taken care of by him and wanted to know how he planned on doing it.
"I do plan on taking over but my father will have to get used to many changes, for instance family and personal events will always come before work, our children will not be forced into this as a career it will be a choice, things like that"
Rory could tell he had impressed them and they were looking like they were going to accept this but she wanted to make sure.
"So you will be happy for us and back us up when the press finds out and when the Huntzbergers have a flip out?"
"Yes darling we will support both of you"
This statement made them all very happy that they were becoming a family, the couple showed off their rings and answered a few more questions before they headed back to Yale.
When they arrived back on campus they headed back to Logan's dorm room discussing how the day went and the reactions they got so far. When they got to the door Logan unlocked it and entered, picking Rory up and spinning her around on the way.
"Now my darling wife, how about we have a reminder of our honeymoon?"
Rory was giggling as she spun with her arms around his neck and her legs around his hips but stopped as she caught sight of three stunned people.
"Uh Huntz want to explain what the hell your on about?"
Standing in the centre of the room in front of the couch were Steph, Finn and Colin looking shell shocked.
Well there you have it, the muses told me to end it here so I did. Next chapter we have their reactions along with the dinner at the Huntzbergers. Stay tuned.
