A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. had a small bout of writers block and then my daughter decided to make her way into the world before thanksgiving so I've had to adjust. But i'm back and ready to continue my story. Heres chapter 6.
The occupants in the household sat around the television waiting to see the Gilmore press conference. They were all set for theirs later in the day but wanted to see what the Gilmores had to say. Coffee and bagels had been placed on the coffee table, the huntzburgers were seated along with the Haydens and Rory was just waiting on Logan to join them.
"Logan! what are you doing? The press conference is about to start."
"Im coming Ace. I was getting your decaf coffee. while I know you won't give up coffee I refuse to let you have regular." Logan walked into the room with his obnoxious smirk firmly on his face. She took the coffee and just rolled her eyes at him.
Just as Logan sat down the press conference started. The occupants of the living room held their breath and waited.
"Ladies and gentleman we would like to thank you for coming today. unfortunately this is not a happy occasion that we are here. You see Lorelai Leigh Gilmore has turned her back on her family in hopes of getting the Huntzberger Heir to marry her and take care of her and her child. Mr. Huntzberger is well known to those around Hartford as a philanderer and notorious partier. We are here to plead with our granddaughter. Please my dear, we want you to come home. We can help you take care of your child and raise him or her in hartford society with the Gilmore name. The child will want for nothing. Just please come home to us and your mother. we Love you darling." Richard Gilmore finished speaking just as the first hand went up.
"Mr. Gilmore isn't it true that your granddaughter and Mr Huntzberger had a relationship throughout her time in Yale and isn't it also true that at that time your wife and yourself encouraged the match?"
"Yes at the time my husband and I encouraged the match between the two. But we have seen the error of our ways and we just want our granddaughter to come home."
"Mrs. Danes is it true that you never wanted your daughter with the heir of Huntzberger publishing? Most mothers would be pleased her daughter would be so well cared for."
"Yes it is true that I never liked the Heir of HPG. I raised my daughter out of society and I never wanted that life for her. I just want my daughter home with me where she belongs."
Question after question was asked until the Gilmores called an end to the press conference. everyone in the living room turned to face Rory who now looked livid.
"Home where I belong? What am I five years old! I can make my own damn decisions." Christopher stood up and walked over to his daughter and pulled her up into a hug.
"Darling calm down we will handle this. Now you and logan need to go get ready as the press will be here shortly" Rory nodded and took Logans outstretched hand as he led her into their room. On the bed was the outfit that Shira had helped her pick out. She had a pair of dark wash jeans from Gucci with a light brown sweater from Neiman Marcus along with a pair of thigh high black leather boots. Logan was dressed in her favorite Armani suit and had forgone a tie. After they were dressed Rory and Logan made their way back to the living room and out the front door where there were several news stations waiting for them. Once everyone was settled, Mitchum gestured for Rory to address everyone.
"Ladies and gentleman thank you for coming today. As you know the Gilmores have made some claims about how I turned my back on them inorder to get Logan to marry me and take care of my child. I stand before you today with the Huntzberger's as well as the Haydens to clear up these accusations. First and foremost my name is Lorelai Leigh Hayden. While my mother may be a Gilmore my father is Christopher Hayden and I have his last name. I never turned my back on my family. The Gilmore's are the ones who turned their backs on me. Once they found out that I went in search of Logan with the help of his parents, they demanded I go back to my mothers house in stars hallow and not even tell Logan or his family about the baby. When I told them that I could not and would not exclude Logan from his child's life, my mother told me I was not allowed to come home. Any questions?"
"Ms. Hayden is it true that your mother never liked Logan or his family?"
"Yes unfortunately this is true. My mother left society when she found out she was pregnant with me at the age of 16. Due to her actions my father and the haydens had no part in my life until I was deciding on where I would go to college."
"Mr Huntzberger is it true that Ms. Hayden trapped you with the pregnancy?"
"Absolutely not. Rory Hayden is the best thing that ever happened to me and this child is just icing on the cake." Logan responded.
The reporters continued to ask questions until one really had them all thinking.
"Ms. Hayden will you ever return to your family?" Rory thought for a second before answering.
"As of right now I am already with my family. The gilmore's claim that I am their heiress yet the minute I make a decision they don't like, they toss me aside. The Huntzberger's and the Hayden's are more my family then the gilmore's who tried to control every aspect of my life. as of tomorrow morning a story will be printed in several of HPG papers including the Chronicle and the New York Times. This story will explain my life and how I got to the decision I made today. Now if you will excuse us my family and I have reservations." With that they all dismissed the reporters and made their way to the restaurant for dinner.
