I head home and the boys are busy packing so I sit down to write. A couple hours later it's time to get ready and I just finished chapter 13 of my book. The words just seem to be flowing now and I hate having to stop. We leave a little early because we have to take Robert to the airport before we can go to dinner. I remember as we get close that I still have their sonogram pictures.

"Ok boys I have something for you."

"Ohh what is it?!"

"Yes love, do you have women waiting to meet us?"

"Sorry boys no girls. Well actually I'm not sure yet."

"You're not sure yet?"

"It's too soon to tell."

"Too soon to tell what?!"

"The gender silly"

"Huh?"

I pull out the pictures and give each boy a copy. Colin and Robert are turning the picture in all directions trying to figure out what they are looking at. Finn and I both laugh before he takes pity on them.

"Ok mates, you see that jelly bean right there?"

"You mean the one in the middle?"

"That's the one. That's our niece or nephew. Nuggets first official photo."

"Well would you look at that!" you can see the wonder and excitement in their eyes.

"We are going to throw the best birthday and holiday parties for Nugget!" Robert says.

"I hope Nugget wants a pirate theme one year. I've always wanted to own a pirate ship."

"Colin No!"

"Come now mother, we'll use it for all of the LDB children. They are potential members after all. Nugget will just happen to be first."

"That's too much! Nugget is going to be so spoiled."

"Nugget and all other nieces and nephews you give us love. We'll give them extravagant gifts and huge parties. We'll take them on wild adventures there's no denying that. We will also do something that our parents never did for us. We will teach them moral responsibility and duty to their fellow man. Those are things that you taught us. What you don't know is that while we still float around and spend money frivolously to irritate the older generations we also volunteer at soup kitchens and for Habitat for Humanity. We anonymously donate large sums of money to all kinds of worthy organizations. We've even been throwing around the idea of starting our own charity. The children will get to have all the fun but will also see the importance of giving back. They will be taught that money is a responsibility and they can't be snobbish prigs just because of their last name."

"I don't know what to say. Thank you Finn. All of you thank you. We couldn't ask for better uncles for Nugget." I say as we pull in to departures.

"Alright reporter girl as soon as this case is settled I'll come see you all. Remember we've got your back. Gents constant contact and I'll bring the Scotch when I return."

With that he kisses my cheek and climbs out of the car. My eyes tear up as he leaves. It's never easy saying bye to the boys no matter how short the separation may be. I keep glancing back to make sure he made it inside when Finn being Finn lightens the mood.

"How long do you suppose it will take him to realize I've stolen his underwear?"

Just like that my tears turn from those of sadness to laughter.

When we arrive at the restaurant we decide to use the back entrance since we know Mitchum tends to frequent this area when he's in town. The night goes much better than I ever could have hoped and I feel as if I leave with a new friend.

"Rory it's been so long! You look fantastic!" Bobbi exclaims as she gives me a hug.

"Thank you Bobbi so do you. Congratulations on your promotion."

"Thank you and to you as well! Engaged and expecting! Things are bound to be even more exciting now." I laugh at that.

"I'm sure it is."

"Don't worry mums the word. I hear things are being kept quiet from the parentals for the time being."

"Yes we would like to keep the drama to a minimum until Logan is home." We share a smile and she turns and introduces me to her boyfriend Henry who is talking with Logan. I feel Logan slide his arm around me and when I turn to him he gives me a soft kiss.

"Ace you look beautiful. Are you hungry?"

"Huntzberger I'm ashamed! I thought you knew me better than that! I'm a Gilmore girl!" he sends me a smirk and guides me to the table.

"I do that's why there is bread already on the table and an appetizer should arrive any moment."

"Much better. Am I hungry?! Ha! That's like asking the Pope if he's Catholic! Plus now I'm pregnant so it's even worse."

They all laugh and just like that we have a very enjoyable evening. Bobbi is intelligent and incredibly funny. She and Logan banter like brother and sister and the conversation just flows between us. We exchange numbers and email addresses as we get ready to leave. Even with Logan coming home I know that they will be working closely with each other. That means we will see a lot of her in the future and that excites me. She's definitely a good woman to have on your side.

The rest of the week flies by faster than I want it too. The boys pack up the rest of the apartment and we have it all shipped to Colin's. They hang out for dinner but then head back to the hotel so that Logan and I can be alone. I appreciate this more than they will ever know. It's on these nights that we created a solid plan and truly became Rogan.

The first few nights we talked about everything and I mean Everything from the past. We discussed the good and bad, what worked and what didn't. We were calm, we yelled, we laughed and we cried but most of all we cleared the air of all past problems. We told everything from all the years we spent apart. We even told each other of former sexual partners just so nothing could come back down the road to hurt us. We even spilled all about our childhoods and how they shaped us as adults. It was hard and painful but we know more about each other now than anyone. We are stronger and more stable for it. I know that no matter what happens from this point forward we will be alright.

We also start making plans and pro/con lists. We apartment hunt and bookmark the ones we want to check out when he comes home. We decide that we would like to take our time planning the wedding. We would like to find a place and be comfortably established before we add more stress on ourselves. If we are pressured for a quick society wedding they can plan it and we'll show up. We'll just plan our own more intimate affair later on. We make decisions about how many kids we want and how long we should stay in the city. We research preschools because according to Honor you need to get an early start. We also decide we would like our children to go to a prep school like Chilton but no boarding schools. No topic is too big or too small for use to cover and the pro/con lists are massive. No one can say we aren't prepared or haven't done our research.

I am finally truly able to breathe for the first time in what feels like years. We have good solid plans. We have direction. I'm no longer rootless or a wanderer because my home is wherever Logan is. The hard part is knowing that we have to say goodbye even if it is only for a week. I'm standing on the tarmac watching him say goodbye to the boys and trying not to cry. It's not working stupid hormones! He comes to me gently grabbing my chin and drying my tears.

"I love you Ace."

"I love you too MaC"

"I'll see you in a week. Keep the boys close ok?"

"I will"

"What do you do if Lorelai is excited?"

"Call you and you'll let the boys know."

"Good and if it goes sideways?"

"Call Finn then call you."

"Good. Call me when you land and when you get home ok?"

"Ok I will I promise."

He walks me to the steps of the plane and gives me a sweet but deep kiss.

"Don't forget to text your mom when you sit down so she knows you'll get there in the middle of the night." I smile, grab his face and kiss him again.

"Love you"

"Love you too. I'll be with you before we know it beautiful." He walks back to the car and I walk on the plane. It isn't until I push send on the message to my mom that I get a dark ominous feeling. I take a deep breath and grab a hand from each man beside me.

"You may want to stay close when we get home."

"Is something the matter reporter girl?"

"No just a feeling and it's not good."
