"Logan? What are you doing here?, are you? Is he the father?" Emily asked looking from Rory to Logan and back again, before Logan had chance to answer, Rory answered for him,
"No we are trying to be friends again, he isn't the father, he just wants to help me, he is a good person" Rory looked at Logan hoping he would agree, but seeing the look on his face Rory knew he wouldn't go along with her lie.
"I am Rose's father"
"But she just said"
"I know what she just said, but you see she knows what this will do to her and me if my family were to find out about this, they would be here requesting paternity tests and wanting contracts signed and all to just protect their precious name and business" Logan explained,
"This is why you wouldn't tell us who the father was?" Richard asked, now understanding that his Granddaughter had not been reckless like he had originally thought she had been being protective,
"Yeah I'm sorry Grandpa and Grandma, I was trying to protect my baby from the Huntzbergers and i really didn't want to deal with them"
Richard and Emily's moods became brighter after processing the news that their Granddaughter had become pregnant by her ex almost fiance, they all sat and enjoyed each others company when the doctor interrupted.
"Rory you can go home tomorrow, I have made some appointments for you and Rose in the coming weeks so we can keep an eye on both your weights and health, the results of the paternity test is back and Rose is indeed Mr Huntzbergers baby, now is there any questions before I file these papers and arrange for the discharge papers?"
"Could I go home tonight?"
"If you really want to, because it is almost 9pm i assumed you would rather stay for the evening and get home tomorrow"
"Yeah I would really like to go home tonight"
"Ok I will get the discharge papers, and you can go" The doctor finished before handing her the papers with the test results and leaving. Logan turned and smiled at Rory and noticed the looks he was receiving from the three Gilmore's, he stood up and moved to face them all and began to explain but before he could he was saved by Rory.
"I ordered the Paternity test, I wanted Logan to be 100% sure that Rose was his, and I wanted to have it ready incase the Huntzbergers decide they want it, if and when we tell them, Logan told me he knew the child was his but i wanted him to never have any doubts and I thought that whilst she was a baby it would be easier on her than if she was maybe old enough to understand and realising that the other side of her family don't think she is actually one of them."
Rory excused herself after explaining and went to get changed into the clothes her mom had brought her, she was taking her daughter home and she was excited for the challenge but extremely frightened as well, luckily Lorelei was going to help her for the first couple of weeks. She felt a little guilty for leaving Logan in the room with her family, she hadn't even told her dad about being pregnant or having a baby yet. Her life had changed so much in 9 months and it still had a hell of a lot of changing to do.
After signing the papers and installing the car seat in her car, Logan had offered to drive and she relaxed in the passenger seat, when she directed him to the diner, they had an awkward conversation about her now living above the diner, once they arrived Logan helped her upstairs with the car seat holding Rose and then went back down for her bag. Logan walked into the small apartment and saw it for the first time, it was like a studio, it had a double bed in one side which was separated from the rest of the room by a curtain and the other side had been decorated for the baby and in the middle was a small kitchen which had been extensively baby proofed, A sofa was just off the kitchen and a small tv was across from the bed. Rory laid the baby is the moses basket near the bed and moved round and sank into the sofa, Logan sat next to her and an awkward silence filled the room, Logan studied the room a little more realising he couldn't see any of Rory's books anywhere,
"Where are all your books?" Logan asked quietly, Rory stood and opened two closet doors that were off to the side, inside one were shelves of books and the other was filled with baby clothes, nappies, wipes and a small selection of child development books, and childrens books.
"Its going to be a while before she can read any of these herself but i thought i could read them to her until she could" Rory explained when she saw him looking at the books, Logan laughed a little and closed the doors,
"I guess i should go, its getting late and i need to find a hotel"
"You can sleep here if you want, the sofa is comfortable and i have spare blankets"
"Only if you are sure"
"Yeah" Rory moved to a small cupboard and pulled out everything he would need for the night, Logan chuckled at how organised she was, and got his bed ready whilst she got a shower. Laying down on the sofa, he watched as she crossed the room and went behind the curtain, Logan tried to get to sleep that night but was unable to, Tomorrow he would have to find a hotel, then in a week he was flying back West, then after that his life would change forever, even if he didn't have anymore kids, he already had Rose, she would need him, Rory would need him, and he loved Rory, but could he let himself get close to her again.
