Well, yet again I am late uploading the next chapter. BUT I am done with finals this week, so after Wednesday, I won't have any excuse for not updating on the regular! I know I told you guys last chapter that this one would be full of Rogan, but I've decided to add a small chapter (aka this one!) before the dinner date with Logan. I promise (for real!) that the next chapter will be the date, and be packed with our favorite couple!

Enjoy :)

"Rory! My long lost daughter!" Rory hears as she puts the phone to her ear.

"Hi mom. I need some serious advice…"

"Okay, spill. What advice do you need from Lorelai V. Gilmore, expert advice giver incorporated?"

"Well. Um. So you know how we are trying to get investors for Paperless before the end of the month?" Rory says to Lorelai, trying to take as long as possible to tell her mom her actual problem

"Yeah, and I already told you I would love to invest in my spawns fancy publication website thingy majig. I might even be able to convince Luke to invest in opening a Luke's Diner in your office so you would never have to drink bad coffee." Lorelai said to Rory, utterly seriously

"Yes I remember, but the answer is still no. I don't want you to invest all you have into Paperless, I need to do this on my own. Of course, if Luke really wants to open a diner in my building, I would not protest. Anyway, I met with a potential investor today, and he actually was already prepared to invest in our company."

"Oh hun! That is great! Tell me all about the meeting! Where did you meet? Did Kate, Dylan, and Shane meet with the investor too? Who is this big shot smarty pants who invested in the coolest publication on the internet? Ooo! What did you wear to the meeting?" Lorelai begins to rattle off a slurry of questions at a speed even Rory is impressed with

"Mom! One question at a time! First off, it was a lunch meeting, and I actually just met with him alone. The guys thought it would be best if it was just me who went."

Rory begins to get nervous, knowing that there is no way around telling her mother who her meeting was with.

"And I wore my grey skirt with that black chiffon top I got a J Crew last time we went shopping…"

"Oooo! Great choice for a fancy business meeting!" Lorelai interrupts Rory before she can tell her who she had lunch with

"Yeah, it was a good outfit to wear. And um the investor was actually Loganhuntzberger" Rory mumbles, hoping her mom may pick up on the name of the investor man she met for lunch

"Cool…WAIT! Who did you say the investor was?!" Lorelai practically screeched through the phone

Well I guess she heard me say his name. You have got to get better at mumbling, Rory!

"Uh. The investor was…is um Logan" Rory says as she slowly leans back in her chair and covers her eyes with her arm.

"As in Logan Logan? Like the Logan that proposed to you at that fancy party your grandparents threw for your graduation? The same Logan you turned down because he wouldn't wait? Limo Boy Logan?" Lorelai says at a decibel that could not be considered an inside voice

"Yeah. That Logan. The guys found out I knew him, and they asked me to meet with him. Granted they didn't know the whole story, but I couldn't say no, so we met today for lunch." Rory said, feeling a headache form just thinking back on the events that led to this moment.

"Oh wow sweets. I can't believe you didn't tell me before you met. This is a big deal!"

"I know mom. I guess it didn't really like fully hit me until I saw him walk into the restaurant. I mean, I met with Logan. I hadn't seen him since my graduation, and I guess I was…I am, in denial about how I actually feel about this…"

"Well I can understand, Ror. He was a big part of your life…he was your great love, and I don't think you ever really got over him walking away."

"I know. I never got the chance to properly wallow after we broke up. I left for the campaign so soon after graduation, I just kind of had to push my emotions about Logan to the back of my mind. But to be honest, I have thought about him almost constantly for the past 4 years."

"Aww Rory. I can't say I am surprised to hear you say that. I mean, that rocket he got you was pretty much the first thing you moved into your place, and every time his name is brought up at Friday Night Dinner you try to change the subject almost immediately. I know I wasn't Logan's biggest fan, but it was clear he made you very very happy."

Was I really that obviously depressed over Logan? I thought I hid it pretty well…

"He did make me really happy, Mom. But I don't think I regret saying no. I am not sure I would be where I am today if I would have said yes. I needed to be on my own for a while. I may have had similar opportunities in California with Logan, but I am so glad I ended up going on the campaign trail and working for the Washington Post; those opportunities led me to Paperless which has turned into my dream career. I guess I just wish Logan could have understood that when I turned him down."

"I agree hun. I think you made the right decision in saying no, but now you have a second chance at that love again. Paris always said you met each other at the wrong time. Maybe now is finally the right time."

At these words, Rory begins pacing around the room. She had forgotten about what Paris had said all those years ago. Their love really had happened at the wrong time. The line goes silent for a few seconds as the Gilmore girls each take in what was just said.

"He asked me to dinner." Rory says softly, finally

"Oh wow! So it seems like he might feel the same way about you as you do about him. Did you say yes?"

"Um yeah. We are going out tomorrow night. He is going to call me with the details in the afternoon." Rory says a little giddily

"Oh! So soon! Well I think this is really great, Rory. I mean it is sudden, but I think this is a good thing." Lorelai says, genuinely happy for her daughter

"Yeah. I think it is a good thing too."

There is another moment of silence as both women pour themselves another cup of coffee.

Finally Lorelai breaks the silence. "Well, I better let you go. I am sure you have lots of important journalist stuff to do, and I am starting to hear an argument in the kitchen between Michele and Sookie."

"Okay Mom. Thanks for the talk." Rory says, feeling way better than when the conversation started

"Anytime, fruit of my loins" inciting a chuckle from both of the women

"Oh wait, I forgot to tell you about the actually investor part of the meeting!" Rory says, remembering the other part of the reasoning behind the call. "As it turns out, HPG has had their eyes on Paperless for a while, and Logan came with a contract already drawn up. We are looking it over with the lawyer, but I think HPG is going to invest in the company!"

"Well of course they are! Who wouldn't want to invest in Lorelai L. Gilmore's online publication?!" Lorelai says as if there wasn't a doubt in her mind

"Maybe we should put you on our sales team. Have you tell all the investors that!" Rory says

"Put me in coach!" Lorelai says and they both hang up

Well that went surprisingly well! No tears, and no angry screaming! Maybe this dinner won't be the worst thing in the world...

Well there it is. Hope you guys liked the chapter! It is dialogue heavy so let me know if it was hard to read, and I will switch up how I handle that.

As always, reviews motivate me to keep going, so don't forget to leave one :)
