Time hop a while on this one.
R&R. I own nothing!
Rory and Logan have been back in Palo Alto for a few months now. They moved back the beginning of January. It's April now and Honor is due anytime.
"We have everything we'll need for the week right?" Rory asked Logan while they were packing.
"Books?" Rory asked.
"I have four and I know you have at least three." Logan answered his wife. Honor was due in a few days so they were staying in Hartford until she had Mitchum Hunter.
"Music?"
"Both iPods are fully charged and chargers are in my suitcase."
"Camera?"
"Here. Along with an extra card."
"I think that's it. We have clothes in New York. Can you think of anything else?"
"Nope.
Rory and Logan took off to New York instead of Hartford since that's where Honor lived. She sent Josh down the weekend before to get Logan and Rory clothes out of their apartment and put them in the guest bedroom of their townhouse.
"Hey Josh, It's Logan. We just landed."
"Good because we're at the hospital now. Honor's water broke a few hours ago."
"Oh shit dude. What hospital?"
"New York Pres. I'll let the nurse know you're coming. I think it's 4th floor. I'll let you know for sure. See ya soon."
"Well that was Josh and we're going to meet our new nephew soon!" Logan told Rory excitedly.
"That's great. I'm so happy for them. Do you think now is the time?" Rory asked Logan nervously.
"I think we should wait until Hunter is here."
"Me too."
They got to the hospital an hour later and Honor was still in labor.
"Hey sis. How are you? Did you get drugs yet?" Rory asked Honor hugging her.
"No. They say I have to be 4 CM to get them. I'm only at a 3 now."
"Oh no. Do you want ice chips? Mom says they're good to throw at the nurses."
"Hahah not now but I'll let you know if that changes. Josh- Do mom and dad know?"
"Yes. I called our list. Dad is in a meeting in Hartford and they'll fly up as soon as it's done. Walker is shopping and will be by after and Alexandria is with her."
"Wait." Logan said. "Them two are coming?"
"Oh shit. I didn't think little brother." Honor said shocked.
"Why? What's wrong?" Rory asked.
"Well let's just say, remember this is before we met, that I've hooked up with them. In the past. Just a night or two." Logan said hesitantly.
"So?" Rory said.
"And they wanted to be Mrs. Huntzberger."
"Well tell them they'll have to go through me and my bridesmaids. I don't think they can stand up to Paris's Krav Maga."
"I know and even if I had met you they wouldn't be Mrs. Huntzberger but don't let them intimidate you. They are dumb."
"So basically they'll say anything to make me doubt you?"
"Wow. I don't have to do anything. You amaze me."
"Of course. Who knows when they'll get here. I think now is a good time for us to go to Honors and shower. It'll be hours."
"Sounds good. Josh do you have our key?"
"Yepp." Josh replied digging in his pocket. "Here you go. Keep it."
"Thanks. We'll see you later."
They got to Honors about twenty minutes later both of them were exhausted so they started coffee. Rory showered first and then Logan and they sat and drank coffee for a few hours until Logan got a call from Josh.
"She's at a 7 now. You might wanna hurry. Doctors say it'll be anytime."
"We'll be there in twenty minutes. Who's there?"
"Shira, Mitchum, my parents, and my cousin."
"Sounds good. We'll see you soon." He hung up with Josh and looked at Rory. "Are you ready to be an aunt?"
"Of course. Let's go."
They got to the hospital in fifteen minutes since traffic was slow.
"Hey mom. Hey dad." Logan said to his parents.
"Hello son. How was the flight."
"Normal. We take it so often I think we could fly the plane by now."
"There's something you need to know." Mitchum said to Logan and Rory.
"What's that?"
"Well I remember something about you dating the Dugrey boy in college Rory?"
"Yes. That was a long time ago. What's wrong now."
"Well apparently he's Josh's cousin and he's here now."
"Are you serious?" Logan said. "I've already broken his nose once, I'm not afraid to do it again."
"What do you mean?" Mitchum asked. Rory explained the coming out party and incident.
"Don't worry Rory. You're a Huntzberger now. He won't touch you or I promise my protective instincts will emerge. Ask Honor how long it took for a date to stick around in high school."
"Oh my. We'll be fine. I hope he won't do anything dumb."
They walked to the waiting area and saw Mitchum, Shira, two people she didn't recognize, she was guessing they were Josh's parents, and none other than Tristan DuGrey."
"Good evening everyone." Rory said kindly. She sat next to Shira, completely on the opposite end of the room from him.
"What no hug Mary?" Tristan said rudely.
"I just sat down Tristan." Rory said coldly. "It's been a long day."
Tristan stood up and looked over at the Huntzbergers, Mitchum and Logan specifically. "I'm going to get coffee. Would anyone like any?"
"I'm fine thank you." Rory said.
"Come on Mare. I know you can't refuse coffee. What is it Lore called it? Elixir of Life?"
Logan looked at him "She said she's fine."
Rory whispered something in Logan's ear and he nodded his head.
Tristan came back with his coffee and they continued to wait.
"Well mom, dad, while we're here waiting we have something to tell you." Logan said to his parents. His eye glanced over at Tristan hoping he was listening. "Rory is pregnant."
They looked at everyone's reaction. Shira looked like she was going to cry she was so happy. Mitchum looked happier than he ever had before and Tristan looked like he was going to cry as well.
"Do you want to hear the best part?" Rory asked.
"What could be better?" Shira said. "You're having a baby."
"Well actually. It's twins."
"Twins!" Shira exclaimed. "How are along are you?"
"8 weeks. We wanted to wait to tell everyone. I plan on telling my family tomorrow at dinner so please keep it under wraps until then."
"Of course dear. I'm so happy. Do you know the sex yet?"
"Not yet. They were being uncooperative."
Shira laughed. "Rory, Logan I am so happy for you two. Oh here's Josh."
"He's Here! Mitchum Hunter Anderson. Two at a time. He's perfect. Honor's great. I'm so excited."
"Rory, Logan why don't you go first so you can tell Honor?"
"That works. We'll take tons of pictures too."
Rory and Logan walked down the hall and saw Honor.
"Hey sis. Oh my god. He's so handsome. I guess I should start practicing. Give him to me." Logan said.
"Wait, practicing? Oh my god. Are you?" Honor said to Rory.
"Yes. Twins! Due in November."
"Twins! I'm going to be double Auntie in one day?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Did you tell mom and dad?"
"We did. They're over the moon excited. Hey mister. Hand him over. Honor he's perfect."
They left about ten minutes later and told the next group they could come in. It was late so they went back to Honor's house. They had to be in Hartford at 7 the next evening for dinner. They were going to announce it to the Gilmore's & Hayden's then.
"I don't know why you're nervous. It's not like you're 16." Logan said laying down with Rory that night. "Plus you're going to be showing soon."
"I know. It's just stupid."
That night Rory thought back to the day they found out and telling their best friends.
Rory was throwing her things around the room when Logan walked in.
"Hey Ace. You okay there?"
"No. I can't find anything I need. I'm looking for my black flat that matches the one in my hand but it's missing."
"Why can't you use this pair here?"
"It doesn't match Logan!"
"It's black. Black generally matches everything."
"Ugh! You just don't get it!" Rory started throwing some more things around then turned around and cried.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Okay? No I am not okay. You. It's all your fault!" Rory yelled.
"Woah. What did I do?"
"You it's inside me because of you!"
"It's...inside...Ace. Are you pregnant?"
"According to the damn stick I am."
"Rory. I am so happy." She turned around
"You are?" a lot quieter than she was.
"Of course. Come on, let's schedule a doctors appointment.
Their doctors appointment was scheduled for today.
"Mrs. Huntzberger?"
"Did I tell you I love being called that?" Rory said to Logan.
"Good. You better get used to it." Logan replied with a chaste kiss.
"That's me." Rory said to the receptionist.
"The doctor will see you now. I have all your records from Hartford on file"
"Thank you."
Rory and Logan walked down the hall and sat in the room.
"He should be here in a few minutes. He's finishing up with in the next room."
She walked out the door and Logan turned to Rory "Do we get to find out what we're having this week?"
"I don't think so. I think that's around 20 weeks and we're only at the beginning. Right now they're awake but that could be the extra cup of coffee I had."
"Rory! You know you're only supposed to have one!"
"I know. I was so nervous I wasn't thinking. What if there's a problem Logan?"
"Then we'll take it one step at a time." He said reassuring her. "Just think positive."
They heard the knock at the door and saw the door open.
"Hello. I'm doctor Jesse. How are you today?"
" is my first pregnancy. I got the positive tests today. I took 6. All of them said either pregnant, +, or turned blue depending on the brand."
"Okay. Well let's get you up here and see that baby. Can you lift your shirt? While I'm doing this do you have any questions?"
"Not at the moment but I will. I'll write them down for the next appointment."
"That works...Oh wow...Mr. Huntzberger come here next to her head and look." The doctor pointed to the sonogram. "Here is your baby." and he put a circle around the baby. "And here is your babies twin." and put a circle next to it "You're approximately 8 weeks which puts your due date in November. I'm going to do some tests to get a better date for you but with twins the due date can vary.
"Wait did you say twins?"
"I did indeed. You are having twins. Congratulations."
"I also want to add an iron supplement and prenatal vitamin to your daily regimen. How's the morning sickness?"
"Not bad. Had some nausea but no throwing up." Rory answered.
"You're lucky. Now how many copies of this picture do you want?"
"Can you do like 10? I know it sounds weird but we're in California and our families are in Connecticut.
Plans were set and everyone was coming over Saturday night for dinner.
At 8 that Saturday evening everyone came over. Even though it was March, it was still cold in California.
Maureen, Finn, Colin, and Steph came for dinner that night.
"So what's up." Colin asked.
"What we can't have dinner with out best friends?"
"You're pregnant." Finn said to Rory.
"What? How can you tell?" Rory asked him.
"Oh my god I should have known!" Steph said. "Seriously?"
"Well since Finn ruined our surprise. Yes I am."
"Here is the sonogram." Logan said passing it around.
"TWINS?" Steph yelled!
It was 8 AM in New York but Rory and Logan were exhausted since it's only 5 in California. They woke up and took the drive down to Stars Hollow. They knew they needed to tell her parents.
"My parents will be ecstatic." Rory said to Logan.
"Everyone will. Don't worry about it."
"Okay. Let's go knock on the door."
They walked in after Summer answered.
"Hey mom. Hey dad."
"Hey kids. How's Honor. Did she have the baby?" Lorelai said to the both after giving them hugs.
"Yes. Here's a picture." Rory pulled her phone out and showed them a picture of Logan holding Hunter and Honor, Logan, and Hunter. "Awe he's so little. What's his name?"
"Mitchum Hunter but they're calling him Hunter. We have another picture to show you." Logan gave her the sonogram.
"Is this what I think it is?"
"Yes. it is."
"Twins. My baby girl is having twins?" Lorelai started jumping around and showed Chris the sonogram.
"Yes. We're telling the grandparents tonight."
"So you want us there?"
"And to act completely surprised.
They decided to walk over to Lanes and tell her. It had been a while since they saw her. When they flew in for meetings they normally landed in Hartford and went back either that next day or the same day.
"Lane!" Rory squealed. "I miss you."
"I miss you too world traveler. How is life? Hey Logan."
"Hey Lane. Are you and Dave still together."
"Together and happy. The boys love him. I didn't introduce them as more than mommy's bandmate until recently. I didn't want them to get attached too quick you know. Although Zack is super jealous now. Whatever. So how is your life?"
"Well I want to show you this." Rory pulled out a sonogram.
"Oh my god. You stole my sonogram didn't you? I'm kidding. You're having twins!"
"Yes. In November."
"I'm so happy! You're married and pregnant with twins!"
The spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out with Lane and the boys until it was dinner time. They decided to go to Luke's.
"So is it true?" Luke asked.
"Ummm...Yes it's true, racecar spelled backwards is still racecar."
"I mean what Mrs. Patty overheard at Lane's?"
"Oh me being pregnant?"
"Do you wanna know what else she said?"
"What? Knowing this town it could be anything."
"That it's not Logan's but he's supporting it anyway."
"Haha no that's completly false. This town is a giant game of telephone I swear. I'm pregnant by Logan with twins."
"Twins? I heard triplets but congratulations. I'm happy for you. Wait, you're happy right?"
"Yes I am. I didn't even think about it. We should have gone inside to tell her."
"You know how it is. This town gets bored without new gossip. What will you have?"
"Cheeseburger, cheese fries, a small salad, and fruit cocktail and a sweet tea."
"Wait. You're eating healthy? You should be pregnant constantly."
"These children and their cravings. I swear. I at a whole watermelon while I was writing my story the other day. The entire thing. I cut it up and just kept eating."
"Well your kids will be happy. Logan- what will you have?"
"Same thing. We both gave up coffee. Let me tell you the first week was hell. I think I even had to sleep on the couch one night." Logan laughed
"I'm sorry. Did I ever tell you that?" Rory said.
"Yes you did. Hormones.:
Luke brought out the food and they started on their dinner until the heard the doors open. "RORY! DEAR! Congratulations." She heard Mrs. Patty say loudly.
"Hi Mrs. Patty, Babbett, Morey. How's it going?"
"Good darling. How are you? How are you feeling?"
"Good. Let's clarify a few things. Logan and I are expecting twins. They're his babies and he's as excited as I am."
"That wonderful sugar." Babbett said. "When are you due?"
"November."
"When is the baby shower?"
"Babbett, we haven't even told the whole family yet. We will this weekend then we'll plan it."
"A stars hollow baby. How exciting."
With that they walked out of the diner.
"Well the whole town will know the true story in five minutes, give or take." Rory said to Logan.
"Why's that?"
"Gossip central knows the truth. I swear they're worse than those tabloids."
The rest of the afternoon was filled with random townspeople including Taylor offering their congratulations. 630 rolled around and Chris, Lorelai, Rory, and Logan climbed into the SUV and went to the Gilmore for dinner. Chris called his mom to make sure she was going to be there.
"Hi grandma, hi grandpa." Rory said after they were sitting inside.
"Hello Rory. Logan how are you?"
"We're great."
"Can I get you a cocktail? Rory, vodka martini?"
"No thank you grandma. That's why I'm here."
"You're pregnant!"
"Geeze, I don't get to tell many people. Yes. Here is the sonogram."
"Twins?" Richard exclaimed. "Logan my boy. Congratulations. Rory, I'm so happy for you."
"Thank you. We're pretty happy ourselves."
"So Logan, did Honor have her baby?"
"She did, Ace show her the pictures." Rory got her phone out and showed Richard and Emily pictures of Hunter.
"He's definitely a Huntzberger." Richard said. "He has Elias's chin already."
"I said the same thing." Rory said giggling. "We wish he was here thoughout all this."
"He would be happier than we are now and I don't think we could be happier. A toast." Richard said. "To the next generation."
"The next generation."
