Rory kept glancing nervously at the clock, when she saw he arrived. God, how she missed him the time that they had been apart. She had missed everything about him; his laugh, his kisses but most of all the way he could tell how she felt even through text. How he knew exactly what to say and when to say it. How they could talk about everything and at the same time, be totally comfortable in complete and utter silence. How he would go out of his way to make her feel better. She missed waking up beside him, with his arm wrapped protectively around her. He aproache the table.

"Hey, Ace. Long time no see," he said, while sitting down. "So, how are you?"

"Oh, me. I'm ...fine," she said nervously. "How about you? Are you fine? Of course, you're fine. I mean why wouldn't you be. Everything is fine, your fine, Odette's fine your dad's fine, I'm fine. Sorry, I'm rambling."

"It's okay, Ace. So… why did you ask me to lunch?" Logan asked.

"Well, um…. I have big new, good I don't know if you'll think it's good news. You probably wont think its good news. Oh crap, you won't think it's good news! What the hell do I do now, you won't think it's good news and I came all the way here for-" she was interrupted Logan.

"Ace, calm down. Why don't you tell me the new and then let me decide if it's good new or not," said Logan taking hold of her shoulders.

She took a deep breath and said, " Logan I'm pregnant. I know it's what not you expected and I'm sorry I ruined your plan, but I'm pregnant. You don't have to be involved if you don't want to. I just told you because I think you deserve to know. Don't worry if you don't want to be involved I won't force it on you and I won't tell the media. I just thought you should know."

Logan just sat there staring at her for few minutes, then he said, "Pregnant. You are did you find out? How did this happen?"

"About a week ago,and I think you know how it happened," responded Rory, shocked that he didn't say more.

Logan didn't know what to say. On one hand he was worried about what he was going to tell his dad and Odette. He was worried about how his dad would react to his perfect plan for his son falling apart; worried about how he was going to break the news to Odette. Because while he knew that she had never loved him, he also knew that the most important thing for her was her image, and news like this would for sure damage it.

On the other hand, he was happy. Happy that this gave him a real second chance with Rory, a chance at a real relationship. Not what they had agreed to before, the vegas agreement. He was happy that he had the chance to be a real family with Rory, and their unborn child. For whom he could already feel love for. He knew that he would do everything in his power to be nothing like Mitchum, his dad. Nothing like his absentee father, who only talked to him to reprimand him, whom he would never be good enough for. He would make sure that his and Rory's child would have a loving home, one where he or she wouldn't dread going, wouldn't avoid it at all cost. Even before she had told him this, when he thought about having children he couldn't picture anyone but Rory as their mother. He saw her expecting a response.

"That's definitely good news, Ace. And I would love to be involved, I mean only if you want me to be involved. I don't know what I'm going to tell my dad or Odette.. but I'm sure we can figure it out together. I'll call my dad tomorrow to see if I could work in Hartford, and we could buy a house. I mean, we are moving in together right? The baby has to grow up with both parents. Parents, we're gonna be parents, Ace. In a few months there will be an actual human being completely dependent on us," said Logan. " I love you Ace, I always have and I always will. And I couldn't be happier that we are having a baby in a few months."

Rory was baffled by his response. It was the one she had hopped to hear but never thought she actually would. She had thought that he would be more worried and was, surprised at how happy he truly was. So she asked, "I love you too... But are you sure, no cold feet, not going to regret this?"

"Never, Ace," said Logan.
