"Hey, Rory," Logan said, repositioning his legs for the third time since they'd taken up residence on the bathroom floor. She didn't look at him, eyes focused on the same spot on the wall she'd been staring at for the past hour. "Rory, look at me," he then told her, separating from her a little bit. She didn't want to, didn't want to see his reactions, but she did. She knew her eyes were rimmed red from the amount of crying she'd done. His shirt was tear stained, but she knew that didn't matter.
"Do you want kids?" he asked. She wanted to laugh. He was asking her this now, after she was already knocked up? It was so ironic. "I know, it's not the most conventional, but when have we ever been conventional?" He smirked, cupping her face with one of his hands. She leaned into his touch, eyes closing.
"I never saw having kids until I met you," she confessed. "Then, I had this whole future planned out in my head. But Logan, I wanted kids after college and after I had my career started." She opened her eyes as she saw him contemplate what she'd said. "I want to be happy about this, but I don't know… Knowing there's gonna be a time when you're not here. I can't raise a baby alone." He sighed, this time he was the one to close his eyes. "I mean, we're having a baby, Logan." This time her voice lit up when she said it.
"I'm so excited," he then said, opening his eyes and looking at her. "I know you have a career to plan and goals you want to reach, and I know having a baby isn't going to help. But I'm here, and I'm going to help for as long as I can," he told her. "You have two months left of school and two months until the wedding, so it's not like we're having this baby in college. I can't believe we're having a baby." They looked at each other, the news being the only thing they were thinking of.
They weren't thinking about his mortality. They weren't thinking about what their families would think, or how long they were going to have together. The child they were having was the only thing on their minds. Would it be a boy or a girl? Would it have Rory's eyes or Logan's smirk? Would it be blonde or brunette, would it have his adventurousness or her nerdy interests?
He smiled before kissing her, pulling her onto his lap. She straddled him, returning the kiss with just as much passion. "Mate, figured I'd stop by since you don't answer your phone anymore," Finn said, looking through the open door. They separated and she turned to face him, face beet red as Logan slid his hands out from under her shirt. "Why is it always me?" he then asked himself.
"Finn, don't you know how to use the doorbell?" Logan groaned. She saw Finn look between them and the counter a couple times, a look of confusion on his face. She turned away, resting her forehead on Logan's shoulder. This was not how anybody was supposed to find out.
"So, you know the activity you were about to participate in would make those tests a different outcome, right?" he said, leaning against the doorframe. "Unless you were celebrating a different outcome?" She smiled, moving off Logan and sitting next to him to face Finn.
"Rory's pregnant," Logan told his friend. She saw Finn light up, and before she knew it, he was sitting in front of them on the floor bombarding them with questions - most of which they could not answer.
"Finn, we just found out," Rory finally said, cutting him off mid-sentence. "Like an hour and a half ago kind of just found out."
"Well then," Finn responded, sitting up a little bit. "I'm happy for you guys, really." She was glad to hear it, glad to know somebody was on their side. Then, it hit her. She had yet to call her mom with the results. Lorelai was probably freaking out at that moment, considering the call ended almost two hours ago.
"I'm going to go call my mom real quick," she told the two, standing and rushing out to the living room, pulling her phone out of her pocket and dialing.
"I was wondering if you were ever going to call. Last I remembered, pregnancy tests only take like three minutes, not ninety," her mom scolded, but she could hear a hint of excitement in her voice. "So?"
"Well, I get home right and I rush right past Logan and lock myself in the bathroom. Pee on the sticks, sit on the floor while he keeps asking if I'm alright. Look at the pee sticks, and." She stopped talking, overhearing a snippet of Logan and Finn's conversation. It was about the future, what Logan expected of Finn if he were to die before his child was eighteen.
"And?!" Lorelai yelled. Rory smiled, excited to get to tell her mother. Despite her apprehensions, she decided that this was indeed a good thing.
"You're going to be a grandma." Her mother squealed on the other side of the phone. "We're probably going to tell Grandma and Grandpa at dinner on Friday. And I'm sorry to tell you this, but Finn found out before you."
"Finn as in drunk all the time Finn? How the hell did he find out before your own mother? I'm hurt, babe." Rory could tell it was mock hurt, but she found it funny.
"He stopped by to talk to Logan and put two and two together when he saw the tests. I've got to go, but I'll talk to you on Friday. I'm pretty sure Finn's trying to convince Logan to name this kid after him." She hung up, making her way back into the bathroom.
She knew she had to make a doctor's appointment to do a final confirmation, but she knew that could wait a day. She also knew she didn't want to tell too many people before she was out of the first trimester, knowing it was the most iffy time during a pregnancy. She sat next to Logan again, Finn still smiling about it all.
"You, Rory Gilmore, not only managed to tame the wild beast that we all knew as Logan Huntzberger, but now you're officially trapping him with a child. I'm impressed." She smiled, knowing Finn was only half joking. "Now, I'll let you guys get back to celebrating, but call me Huntz. We need to hang out with Colin some time soon. He's feeling neglected, I now not so much considering I was the first to know about baby Huntz." Rory smiled as Finn stood, walking out.
"I love you," she told Logan, kissing him. He pulled her on his lap, resuming the activities they were going to participate in before Finn interrupted. They were having a baby, and she couldn't have been more excited in that moment.
