'What do you mean you're pregnant?' Emily asked.

What do you think I mean? She wanted to ask, but refrained. 'I'm . . we're having a baby.' She indicated to Logan who she had dragged along with her for moral support. Opposite her, she saw Lorelai biting her lip.

'I know that. I'm not a complete idiot.' Emily snapped, 'What I meant was how did this happen?'

Lorelai squirmed in her seat. Unable to keep quiet any longer.

'Mom, you do know about the birds and the bees?'

'Don't be so childish Lorelai. You two have been back together only two minutes.' She looked to Logan 'Do you have no self control?'

Logan blushed which made Rory smile. She had never seen him blush before.

'Mom?' Lorelai exclaimed, though secretly she was amused. She did like Logan now, but it was quite fun to see him squirm.

'Grandma,' started Rory. 'I know it all seems a bit rushed…'

'That would be because it is.'

Rory nodded 'Yes, well we are both happy about it.'

'Of course you are. You are young and reckless. You don't think of the consequences. What happens next time the two of you split up? It won't just be yourselves, there will be an innocent baby stuck in the middle.'

'There won't be a next time we split up.' Argued Rory.

'How can you possibly know that?'

'With all due respect Mrs Gilmore,' Logan spoke up 'I love your granddaughter very much, and I plan to spend the rest of my life with her, and have many more babies.'

Rory smiled at him. She loved that he had stuck up for her.

'It's all very well saying that, but putting your words into action is a very different thing. I don't know what has gotten into you. You're Yale educated, yet you're both acting like imbeciles.'

'Oh mom, they're in love.' Protested Lorelai. She knew it wasn't her battle to fight, but she couldn't help herself.

'I should have known you would stick up for them!'

'Of course I am, I'm her mother!'

'All the more reason you should be opposed to this idea, rather than encouraging it.'

'What good would being opposed to it be? It's happening mom. Rory is pregnant. Rory is with Logan. All me being opposed to it would do is driver her away. Is that what you want to happen? Really mom? All I can do is accept it. Like you say they are both educated people. People mom, not children. We have got to let them make their own decisions. It's not up to us to decide what they do with their lives. If we don't like it, it's not our place to say.'

Emily sighed and shook her head. 'Really Lorelai, there's no wonder Rory is in this mess if that is the attitude you take.'

'Mess? What mess?'

'You know very well, what I'm referring to.'

Lorelai was exasperated. She couldn't believe how her mother was reacting. Rory wasn't a child. She was almost twenty-eight and was having a child with the man she loved. She couldn't see why there was so much fuss being made. Only weeks ago, Emily had been all for conceiving, albeit with Andrew. What difference did it make?

'Mom, I don't get why you're getting so antsy about this.'

'Of course you don't.' Emily pursed her lips.

'That was awful.' Decided Rory as they got into Lorelia's car. 'It was worse than worst case scenario.'

'C'mon Ace, it wasn't that bad.' Logan laughed.

Lorelai smirked at him. 'Oh no? 'Have you no self control?'' she mocked Emily.

'Okay, okay it was bad.'

Rory wondered how many bad meetings she could possibly have with her grandparents in one year.

'It's over now honey.' Lorelai soothed her daughter. 'And you, Mr Huntzberger have gone up in my estimations. 'With all due respect..' I love that. 'With all due respect' always means that you're about to disrespect them. It's like when you say 'no offence,' and you just know you're about to offend them. It's like giving yourself a licence to be rude.'

Rory laughed. 'The name's Gilmore; Lorelai Gilmore. Licence to offend.'

'It's like old people. Have you ever noticed how old people can say whatever they like and nobody gives a damn, because hey – they're old. I can't wait to get that old. I'm going to be the most obnoxious, cantankerous old lady…'

'What do you mean you're going to be?' joked Rory.

Logan laughed at the way they interacted, but he inwardly hoped that Rory would give birth to a boy; another Gilmore Girl might be more than he could handle.
