More than six months had passed since Logan and Rory had tied the knot in New Haven. The first few months were as blissful as you might expect for a newlywed couple but now that the wedding planning was done and dusted, Logan had thrown himself back into work one hundred per cent while Rory was trying her hardest to smile through the trials and tribulations of her second pregnancy. It hadn't been quite as plain sailing as the first pregnancy and she had been experiencing all kinds of issues from anaemia to sciatica to carpal tunnel syndrome meaning that all-in-all, she had felt pretty crappy for the past few months.

Rory had tried to keep her mood in check but she knew that as the months went on and she felt more and more uncomfortable she was becoming snappy and short with Logan. He was trying to be as patient with her as possible, and do whatever he could to help her but there wasn't a lot he could do to ease the strain. He'd arranged for Marta to move into their spare room to be around more for Lily and try and help Rory to relax more, but nevertheless, Logan still found himself walking on eggshells more often than not – especially given the lack of caffeine finding it's way into Rory's system these days.

Logan walked into the kitchen where Rory was sitting at the counter eating breakfast. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her before kissing the top of her head.

"Good morning beautiful," he said with a smile.

Rory looked up at him and smiled back. "Morning, coffee?" she asked as she got up slowly to pour him a cup. At nearly eight months pregnant, her movements were definitely slowing her down a little.

"Erm..." Logan paused to look at his watch "Sure, why not."

"In a rush?" Rory looked at him puzzled.

"I..no, I just have an early meeting to get to this morning is all," Logan said as he gulped down his coffee.

Rory raised an eyebrow at his jumpiness. "So I was thinking that perhaps I could meet you for lunch today?" she said as Logan was putting on his jacket.

He paused and sighed "That would have been really nice Ace, but, I've, erm, I think I am going to have to work through lunch today, this deal I am working on is taking up more time that I thought."

"Oh, okay," Rory said acting a little disappointed.

"I'll make it up to you...tomorrow maybe? I gotta shoot now." Logan said as he picked up his laptop case and kissed her goodbye.

Rory watched him leave and put down her cup. Things had been a little weird recently between her and Logan and she couldn't help but feel like he was hiding something from her. She hoped it was just her being paranoid but she wasn't sure if it was anything to worry about or not.

"Dragonfly Inn, Lorelai speaking"

"Mom"

"Oh hey Rory, how are you feeling? More importantly, how are those cankles holding up?" Lorelai laughed.

"Ha ha, very funny mom. My cankles are just fine" Rory said sarcastically.

"What can I do for you today oh fruit of my loins" Lorelai asked.

"Logan is having an affair," Rory said matter-of-factly.

"What!" Lorelai yelled down the phone. "Rory?"

"He's cheating on me!" Rory said quietly.

"I...do not understand what you are saying. I mean, are you sure?" Lorelai didn't actually think for one minute that Logan would be cheating on his pregnant wife, but having been on the receiving end of Rory's hormone-induced tongue lashings recently she wanted to tread carefully.

"I've seen messages on his phone from an 'Abigail' and yesterday, I was in Hartford and I saw him in a coffee shop with a blonde woman..." Rory paused.

Lorelai sighed. "Okay, while I admit both of those things out of context could look quite bad, I don't really think that either of those actually equals your amazingly devoted husband being unfaithful to you."

"But something is going on!" Rory complained.

"Perhaps there is something going on with Logan, but you immediately suspect that he's having an affair? Rory this is crazy talk. Logan loves you there is no way he is cheating on you."

"Maybe not, but something is up and I'm going to go find out what. In fact, I am going to go to his office today." Rory said decidedly.

Lorelai grimaced, knowing that her daughter got the fiery impulsive streak from her. "Whatever you feel like you need to do, just take it easy Ror, remember you are eight months pregnant..."

Rory ended the call and found Marta to take care of Lily while she got ready to go out.

A little while later, Rory squeezed herself behind the wheel of her SUV and drove the short distance to the HPG office in Hartford where Logan was currently working. She was so uncomfortable on the journey that all the way there she was making a silent thank you to the Gods that Logan wasn't in the New York office today. Rory really did not enjoy going into the office to see Logan. His staff all called her Mrs Huntzberger, which of course was her name, but the way they said it set her on edge and they fell over themselves to greet her. Brownnosing was not something that she had ever enjoyed and she suspected she never would.

She parked her car in a visitor space and walked into the reception area at HPG. The girl on the front desk, who Rory had never seen before, looked up at her with an overly sweet smile, bordering on false.

"Good morning, how can I help you," the girl asked.

"I'm here to see Logan Huntzberger," Rory said.

"Do you have an appointment?" the girl asked as she looked at her computer "There's nothing on the schedule..."

Rory rolled her eyes. "No, I don't have an appointment"

"Okay, well, I'll have to speak to his secretary. I can't just let you through. He's a very busy man." she said slightly haughtily "What's your name?"

"Rory Huntzberger, his wife" Rory deadpanned.

A deep crimson hue crept up the face of the receptionist as the penny dropped and she realized whom she was dealing with. "Oh, I'm, s-s-sorry, Mrs Huntzberger. I'll just, erm, let him, erm, know that you are here." She stumbled over her words obviously embarrassed at her faux pas.

"Err, hi Melissa, it's Chelsea. Could you please let Mr Huntzberger know that his wife is here to see him? Oh...okay...Thank you." She said replacing the handset. "Mrs Huntzberger? Melissa said to go right on up."

"Thank you," Rory said as she stepped into the elevator. She felt slightly bad, she'd been a little mean to the receptionist who was just doing her job, but she was in no mood to be messed around today.

When the elevator reached his floor Logan was there waiting to meet her, having been alerted by his secretary that she was on her way up.

"Well this is a nice surprise," Logan said, "To what do I owe the honor," he asked as he leaned into to give her a kiss on the cheek.

Rory brushed her hair out of her eyes. "Can we go to your office?" she said conscious of all the people that were around.

"Sure...is everything okay Ace?" he asked as he closed the door behind them.

Rory sat down on the couch in this office. "Are you having an affair?"

"I beg your pardon?" Logan looked at her, stunned. Of all the things he thought she might be there for that certainly wasn't one of them.

"I asked if you were cheating on me?" Rory said as she looked down at her hands.

"I heard you, I just don't know where this is coming from," Logan said as he leaned back against his desk.

"I saw the messages on your phone from 'Abigail' and I saw you with the blonde yesterday."

Logan pushed his hair back with his hand. "You don't trust me, Rory?"

Rory looked at him and winced. He very rarely called her by her actual name. "I do...but..."

"If you trusted me, you wouldn't be here in my office accusing me of cheating on you after just six months of marriage..." Logan said.

Rory bit her lip. She knew deep down that she was being slightly ridiculous. This was Logan and she knew that he wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

"Ugh, I do trust you, Logan. I'm sorry, I do. God, it's these hormones, they are just making me a bit crazy" she said as she dropped her head into her hands.

Logan walked over and wrapped his arms tightly around her. "I know," he whispered as she started to cry and he brushed a few tears away from her cheeks "but that's no reason to think that I am going to go chasing after other women, man I can hardly handle the one I've got" he joked.

Rory let out a little laugh. "I'm sorry. You must hate me right now" she said.

"Don't be silly, that's impossible, that's like hating Thumper. Nobody hates Thumper" he joked. "Seriously though Ace, this is the home stretch now, a few more weeks and we'll have our new baby in our arms and all this craziness will be forgotten."

Rory smiled at her husband. Logan always knew exactly how to make her feel better, even when she was acting like a mad woman.

"So you really want to know who the blonde was?" Logan said as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"I...I don't know, do I?" she looked at him confused. Even though she now knew he wasn't cheating on her, she still wasn't sure what was going on.

"Come with me," he said as he took her by the hand and walked out of the Hartford office and down the street towards a realtor's office.

"Where are we going?" Rory asked but Logan didn't answer as he entered a building. As they walked in Rory spotted the blonde woman from the coffee shop.

"Mr Huntzberger," the blonde said as they walked in "I wasn't expecting to see you again today?"

"No" Logan smiled. "It's time to let my wife in on our little secret."

Rory looked from Logan to the blonde woman who introduced herself as Abigail Lewis, a Hartford realtor.

"It's lovely to finally meet you Mrs Huntzberger. I've heard an awful lot about you. Please, sit down" she gestured at the chairs next to her desk. "I'll just get the file."

Rory listened to Abigail and Logan as they explained what they had been up to over the past few weeks. While Rory had thought Logan had been sneaking around and getting up to no good he'd actually been buying a property in Martha's Vineyard as a present for her. He knew that this pregnancy had been really hard on her and he had wanted to do something special for so had been looking for the perfect holiday property for their little family to enjoy over the years.

"You bought me a house?" Rory said incredulously.

"Well technically speaking I bought us a house" he smiled and kissed her on the top of the head "but yes, I really bought it for you, I wanted to do something nice. You've had a rough few months and I thought it would cheer you up."

"Now I feel like a complete bitch. I accuse you of sleeping with someone else but all the time you've been busy trying to surprise me?"

"I know" Logan shook his head "You owe me big time." he laughed.

Six weeks later

Rory sat on the beach outside their new holiday home at the Vineyard. What she had thought was going to be a reasonably sized beach cottage actually turned out to be a huge waterfront family home with its own private beach. Rory didn't even want to know what this sprawling cape-style home with its seven bedrooms had cost – far too much she expected - but as soon as Logan had shown her round the property, she had completely fallen in love with it and it's impressive views of Nantucket Sound.

As she sat watching their daughter Lily playing happily in the sand with a bucket and spade, Rory knew that their little family would spend many happy summers here in the future. She sat looking out at the view, clutching her legs to her chest and rested her head on her knees day-dreaming about what that future might look like.

"Someone was getting hungry"

Rory jumped a little at the sound of the voice behind her. She looked up to see Logan with their tiny newborn baby resting on his shoulder and she felt her insides turn a little mushy at the sight of her husband carrying the latest addition to the Huntzberger family in his arms. Logan leaned down and passed their newest daughter to Rory.

Sophia Honor Huntzberger had arrived in their life just a few weeks ago and it already felt like she'd always been there. Logan was absolutely thrilled with the newest lady in his life and being there for her birth was one of his proudest moments. He had been in total awe of Rory and the strength and dignity she had shown, and while at times it had felt a little bittersweet, reminding him of what he missed with Lily, he was so happy for having another opportunity. Even though Sophia was only a few weeks old, he was already hoping that they'd get to do it all again one day. He sat down on the sand next to Rory and Lily ran over and perched herself on his knee, planting a big kiss on her daddy's cheek.

Rory sat feeding baby Sophia and looked across at Logan and Lily who were play-fighting and wrestling gently on the sand. She felt a warm tingly feeling inside her as she contemplated what her life had become. Over the past year or two she'd had so many doubts and insecurities about the way her life was going and the decisions she was making, but right there in that moment, she knew that it was all playing out exactly the way it was meant to. It had been written in the stars. So she hadn't yet got the big career she wanted – she knew there was still plenty of time for that, and with Logan by her side, she felt like she could conquer the world. He was always going to be supportive of her desire to work and have a fulfilling career and she was confident that the right time would come for that. Right now, what she did have was so much more important to her – she had two beautiful daughters and a man who would walk to the ends of the earth to keep her happy. That was priceless.

Logan must have felt her eyes on him as he looked up at her from where he was being pinned to the ground by Lily and smiled. Rory leant down and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.

"I love you, Logan," she said as she pulled away.

He sat up and slipped his arm around her shoulder. "I love you too Ace," he said as he pulled her in and kissed her on the top of the head. "More than you'll ever know".

The end.
