AN: The second to last chapter, we're almost done here! Enjoy and please, please, review! I get about 1,000 views per chapter but only 9 or 10 reviews, it would mean so much to me if you could just take 2 minutes to give me some feedback so I can make these stories better for you or continue what I'm doing if you like it. That being said I do have some amazing reviewers that I adore more than anything, you guys are so supportive and I don't know what I would do without you, y'all keep me writing!

Everyone got up on their second day for breakfast, though Rory was quite reluctant to do so. "You're too comfy for me to get up," she told Logan every time he tried to get them up. Even promising she could have some of his coffee wasn't working. Eventually, he just carried her to the shower and 2 orgasms later she was more receptive to getting ready and heading out for the day.

The event wasn't until that night, so they had time to come back later and get ready. For now, Rory donned a pair of ripped jeans, a red and black plaid off the shoulder top, and white heels that she wouldn't be able to wear in a few months once her feet swelled up. Logan went for black jeans, a white t-shirt, a black leather jacket, and sneakers for walking around/carrying Rory once her heels gave out.

They came out of the master bedroom at 8:00 am where Lorelai and Luke were already waiting for them.

"Morning," Rory said, grabbing her purse from the coffee table where she left it last night and putting it on her shoulder.

"Good morning," Luke said. "Sleep well, guys?"

"Very, some of better than others apparently because I couldn't get this one out of bed this morning," Logan chuckled, grabbing his wallet from the coffee table and sliding it into his back pocket.

"Hey," Rory warned him. "That was your fault and you know why; we've already talked about this."

"Mhm," he said, humoring her. "Everyone ready?"

"Yep," Lorelai said, standing up from the couch as they all headed for the elevator. They piled in, and Lorelai must have noticed Logan's leather Jacket when he wrapped his arm around Rory.

"I thought leather jackets were Jess' thing," Lorelai said.

"His 'thing' mom?" Rory asked, raising her eyebrow at her.

"You know what I mean, his style," Lorelai clarified.

"I know what you meant," Rory sighed before shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know, I guess it was."

"That's not weird for you?" Lorelai asked, not letting up on this.

"Not at all, not even the tiniest bit, and I did not notice it until you pointed it out," Rory told her, wrapping her arm around Logan's waist and looking up at him. "Besides, no one's got anything on my fiancé in leather."

"Is that so?" Logan asked her, smirking.

"Yep," she said, grabbing onto the lapel of the jacket and leaning up to kiss him. The elevator made it to the lobby, and they all stepped out together. They were walking to a cute little breakfast place Rory found online before doing any sightseeing. The weather was fantastic when they got outside, and the sky was clear which they hoped would last all day. Logan took his arm from around his girl and held onto her hand instead so they could actually walk.

Rory and Logan walked ahead of Lorelai and Luke, all 4 taking in the city around them. "You know I do seem to recall this particular jacket," she said softly so her mother couldn't hear.

"Do you?" he asked, feigning ignorance. "What from?"

"Oh you know, just the first time I took it off you and had more orgasms in one night than I think is actually healthy," she giggled, hugging his arm and resting her head on his bicep.

"Excuse you, it was very healthy, I had to make up for what the first jack ass lacked, and let you know that you were mine now," he growled, kissing the top of her head as they walked.

"Mm, well there's no doubt about that now, is there?" she asked, holding her left hand out in front of them so it sparkled in the light, much like it had done in the pictures he took last night.

"Not all," he smirked. "But god, I can't wait until baby Huntz gets bigger."

"Well, as long as the little one can contain the extra fat to my tummy, we'll be cool. If that starts to spread, she and I are going to start off on the wrong foot. I've always been pretty thin, and I can't imagine not feeling like myself in my body, you know?" she explained.

"I totally understand," he assured her.

"At least my boobs we'll be huge," she laughed.

"Yeah, you laugh now, just wait till you actually have them. As soon as the baby is done, they're mine again," he told her.

"Oh good lord," she mock groaned like she wouldn't love any attention he could spare between the baby and work.

They eventually made it to the restaurant and were seated outside. The conversation passed smoothly, avoiding all controversial topics, so basically anything in Rory and Logan's life. Luke filled them in on the diner and a little bit of what Jess has been doing in Philadelphia. And Lorelai told them a bunch of stories about the Inn which has been doing fantastic ever since Stars Hollow started focusing on tourism. Luke obviously isn't too thrilled about all the new people in town, but business is great at the diner too.

Hearing about everything she's missed recently, made Rory a little homesick. But as funny as Stars Hollow is, at the end of the day, she wanted to be home with Logan and their baby in New York. She would have to make it a priority to visit the town more often though.

Once breakfast was over and Logan paid, they took to the city. They saw everything that day from Independence Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Rory of course, ate up the history and the landmarks they visited, which Logan enjoyed too. He could tell Lorelai and Luke were a little bored with that, so they went to the zoo as their last stop. Anything that could please his girl and his soon to be in-laws in one fell swoop was a must.

Upon returning to the suite, Luke and Logan hung out in the living room for a while the girls showered and did their hair. The event was semi-formal and since Rory had her dress picked out, Logan's only job was to wear the suit that matched. This left him with plenty of time to watch a game before fixing his hair a little and slipping on his suit. When he did go to the master bedroom to change, he found his fiancé in stunning nude lingerie, standing in front of the mirror. This one was lace, much like her others, with a tanga and strapless bra.

"Damn you are sexy," he said huskily. She looked at him over her shoulder, smiled, and then held her hand out for him to come over. He walked to her but didn't take her hand, wrapping his arms around her from behind instead so his hands could rest on her baby bump.

She naturally fell back against him and placed her hands over his. "You're biased."

"True… doesn't change the fact that you're sexy." He nuzzled her neck, leaving wet kisses all over her collarbone.

"If you say so." She giggled at the sensation of his mouth on her skin.

"I do say so."

"Pause for a second so I can put on my dress?"

"Fine," he groaned. "We'll continue this later though."

"You won't catch me complaining Huntz." She slipped out of his arms to grab her dress from the closet. She also brought him the garment bag with his tan suit.

"Thank you, darling," he said, taking the bag from her.

"Darling?" she giggled.

"What? You don't like it?" He pulled his shirt up over his head and tossed it on the bed.

"I don't dislike it; I just didn't realize you were the kind of person who calls people darling."

"Not 'people', my fiancé," he said, his pants landing next to the shirt as he continued to undress.

"I guess," she sighed. "I don't know it just didn't sound like you. You're more of a 'baby' and 'sweetheart' guy. Which I love by the way."

"Well, I'm glad. I'm also glad to have learned to steer clear of darling."

"Stop!"

"What?"

"Right there, that's how I want you dressed tonight, and I think we should stay in," she said, sitting down on the bed still in her underwear.

"Ace I'm nearly naked. And as much as I would love to spend the night dressed like this with you, we have to go soon." He reached for the tan pants on the bed and pulled them up over his boxers.

"Ugh, I know," she said. "I just don't want to endure another second of uncomfortable conversation with my mother. Why did we come with them again?"

"For Luke."

"Ah yes, Luke. The only thing my mother is currently doing right."

"It means a lot to him that you're here, I can tell."

"I know, and I'm glad I came, even just for him. And Jess has worked really hard for this, Luke is super proud of him."

"As for your mother, we'll just keep her at arms-length till we're home again." He buttoned the last button on his dress shirt and offered her his hand. She took it and he pulled her up from the bed. "Now get dressed."

"Fine," she pouted but leaned up to kiss him quickly before walking away to get her jewelry.

Not an hour later and they were standing in the middle of a decent-sized book store. The whole place had a very relaxed vibe and Rory didn't doubt that it would be successful. They even set up a full bar with a bartender for everyone to enjoy, which is what Lorelai made a b-line for as soon as they walked through the door. There were display tables out specifically for tonight with bestsellers carried by the store which Rory and Logan gravitated towards. Luke and had gone off in search of Jess and while Rory wanted to be here to support both of them, she could wait to actually see Jess.

They milled around the room for about a half-hour until Rory mentioned she was getting thirsty. Before the words were out of her mouth Logan had taken off in search of a bottle of water for her. She just laughed at her fiancé and continued around the room by herself.

"There she is, Rory come say hi." She looked up when she heard her name. Luke waved her over to himself and Jess where they stood by the next book table.

"Rory came with you? Why didn't you say so?" Jess asked his Uncle as she approached them.

"Hey, Rory." Was all he said as he took in the woman in front of him, the woman he had let go of all those years ago. There wasn't a day that went by he didn't think of her and he remembered her well enough to know something about her had changed, well besides the obvious. She was glowing… she was confident… she was gorgeous.

"Hey Jess, long time no see," she greeted him and leaned in for a polite hug with her cousin.

"Almost three years or so, I keep telling him he needs to visit home more often," Luke reminded him.

"I know, I know, and I will. I'll have more time now that this place is officially up and running."

"Speaking of which, this is amazing," she told him. And she meant it to, even Logan agreed with her and since he has started working for Mitchum everything the man touched turned to gold. "I don't know what I was expecting, but this far exceeded it."

"That means a lot Rory, thank you," he said. "It means a lot that you're here too."

"Oh, well you know Luke, he's just so proud of you, he talks about what you've been working on all the time. I couldn't not come you know?"

"Thanks, uncle Luke," Jess laughed.

"Don't mention it, just keep this up kid," Luke said, patting him on the back. "I'm going to go grab a refill, you two want anything?"

Yeah, my fiancé if you can find him. Rory didn't get to say that one out loud since Jess answered no for both of them.

Rory didn't know what to do or what to say, they had already covered everything with Luke. The store looked good, haven't seen you in a while, that's it, that was all they had to talk about.

"So…" he started.

"So," she said, equally as awkward.

"Um, how have you been?" he asked, shifting from foot to foot, his hands in his pockets.

"Oh, really good, how about you?" she asked in return.

"Hanging in there," he chuckled, running a hand through his hair at an obvious attempt to draw attention to it. She noticed it was a little bit longer than it was when she saw him last but if he was trying to impress her with it, he had nothing on her fiancé.

"Well like I said the store looks amazing," she said, glancing around.

"Thank you," he said, nodding. "Still kind of a work in progress, you know?"

"Absolutely," she laughed nervously, not sure what to talk to him about. She just wanted Logan to come back.

He stayed silent, staring at her but trying not to be obvious about by looking around the room every once in a while. He cleared his throat before saying, "You look amazing."

"Oh, uh, thanks," she said, taking another glance around the room, now desperately needing Logan to come back.

"Like really good, but I guess it's been a while since I've seen you," he said.

"Yeah it has," she said with a tight smile.

"You here alone?" he asked suddenly.

"Um, no, well I'm here with mom and Luke, and I actually-," she got cut off before she could finish before she could rip off the band-aid.

"I mean, are you seeing anyone?" he corrected. "I didn't want to ask it like that or ask in front of Luke, but you know, if not-" Now it was her turn to cut him off before he could do anything stupid, like ask her out.

"Look, I don't know if 'seeing' is the best term, but," she said. She wouldn't exactly describe engaged with a baby on the way as 'seeing someone'.

"So, there is someone?" he asked, clarifying.

"Someone?" Lorelai asked, coming up behind them. As soon as she had seen Rory cornered by Jess she grabbed a glass of wine for each of them and swooped in to save her daughter.

"Hey," Rory said, glad to have someone else here. "Jess was just asking if I was seeing anyone."

"Oh, well, here," Lorelai said, handing her one of the glasses of wine with her. "This should help get through tonight."

"Oh, no thanks mom," she said.

"Come on Ror, have a drink with your mom, it won't kill you," Lorelai said.

"Mom I really don't want it," she insisted, trying to sound as casual as possible.

"Why is it such a big deal, just drink some," Lorelai said, confused at her daughter extreme refusal.

"No," Rory sighed.

"Rory will you just drink the damn wine," Lorelai pushed.

"Mom, no, I'm not drinking that," Rory said again.

"Why not? It's just wine Rory," Lorelai said.

"I can't!" Rory near shouted.

"You can't?" she asked. "What do you mean you can't?"

"Mom it doesn't matter, drop it," Rory said.

"Are you sick? Are you a recovering alcoholic? If not then just drink it," Lorelai said.

"I'm not sick! I'm pregnant!" she snapped. "Ok, I'm pregnant so I can't drink, and I can't have coffee. This is not how I wanted to tell you but stop pushing me!"

Rory could have sworn her mom stood there and stared at her for almost five minutes before finally coming to her senses and assessing the situation. She wasn't even concerned with the fact that she had just said that in front of Jess, who probably now thought she had been knocked up by some one-night stand. In fact, he was the one who spoke first.

"Rory, if this is what you meant by 'someone'," he started. "This doesn't change how I-," He didn't get to finish and thank god too because that would have been embarrassing for everyone before Lorelai grabbed Rory's hand and pulled her into the hallway that led to the bathroom.

They stopped outside the women's room and Lorelai set the wine glasses down on the floor against the wall before pulling Rory into a big hug. Stunned, Rory tentatively hugged her back. She had thought her mom would be mad, especially since this was Logan, not happy and apparently extremely supportive.

"Oh Rory," she said, rubbing her daughter back.

"Mom," Rory started.

"Are you ok?" she asked, pulling back to look at her.

"Of course mom," she said, smiling.

"Good, good," she said. "Well, I promise it'll all be ok. How far along are you?"

"I'm 2 months," she said, resting her hand on her little bump.

"And how do you feel about it, I mean considering…"

"I'm so unbelievably happy," Rory said. And it was true, she was so, so happy. Even though she would have liked to be Logan's wife officially before having his baby, she wouldn't change anything about how she got her little boy or girl.

"And when do you find out the sex?" Lorelai asked, putting her hands on top of Rory's.

"Soon hopefully, my OBGYN is great and she said there's a good chance I'll find out in the second trimester," Rory told her excitedly.

"Good, you have plenty of time. We'll figure it all out."

"Figure what out?" Rory asked, confused.

"Well, everything," Lorelai said.

"I mean, I know there's a lot to figure out, but not everything," Rory said. "Just a lot of shopping to do I guess, that'll be fun."

"You have to tell Logan, that's big," Lorelai said, a worried look on her face.

"Oh, no, Logan already-," Rory started before she was cut off.

"And then depending on what his reaction is you may have to find a place to live," Lorelai said. "You can always stay with us in Stars Hollow for as long as you need to."

"Woah, woah," Rory said, stopping her mom as her smile slipped from her face. "You think Logan would leave me because I'm pregnant?"

"Maybe," Lorelai sighed. "I mean Ror look at your dad."

"Logan is not dad! I cannot stress that enough. And I feel like we've had this conversation before," Rory said, exasperated.

"You need to be prepared for everything," Lorelai said.

"I am! Logan loves me, he proposed to me! If he didn't want to marry me and have kids with me then why the hell would we be getting married?"

"I just don't want you to get your hopes up. He could easily-,"

"Oh my god! Logan already knows! He's my fiancé, and it's his son or daughter, he knew before anyone else for god sakes," Rory told her.

"And? How did he take it?" Lorelai asked.

"He was thrilled! I told him I thought I might be pregnant and he went to get me chocolate and like 10 tests. Then he sat with me while we waited for the results. And he was so happy when they were positive, beyond happy," Rory explained.

"So he's ok with it?"

"More than ok, trust me, he picked me up and held me and neither one of us could stop smiling," Rory said. "He's so overprotective it's adorable. And we're looking at houses right now, so we should be settled in by the time baby Huntz gets here. I mean mom did the Logan on this trip seem like a man who wasn't thrilled for me to be having his baby?"

"Baby Huntz huh?" Lorelai asked bitterly.

"I'm not talking about this again mom," Rory sighed.

"I just think you should consider this," Lorelai said.

"No, no, I'm done. I love him so much, I can't even explain it and you are the only one who can't see that," Rory said. Just as she thought Lorelai was going to keep pressing her with questions, she felt a hand come to rest on her hip. Turning her head up she was greeted with a kiss as Logan pulled her into his side.

"You would not believe how hard it is to find a bottle of anything non-alcoholic here," he said handing her the water he had already opened.

"Thank you," she said, giving him another, deeper kiss for his trouble. "I missed you."

"That was my plan," he smirked at her. "And now if that's how I'll be repaid, I would hunt down a hundred of them. Although I really only did find one, so you should be glad I let you have it."

"Would you settle for a sip of mine?" she teased.

"No way," he joked. "You have cooties."

"Cooties?" she giggled. "I think cooties are the least of your worries." Taking his hand she moved it to her tiny baby bump just to remind how far past 'cooties' they were.

"Fair enough," he smirked, kissing her forehead. The clearing of a throat brought them back to reality as they both look over at Lorelai, standing in front of them.

"If you want something to drink, there's a fully stocked bar. I remember how much you like your booze," she bit out.

"Um, used to, you know in college. Not so much anymore. Rory's not drinking, I'm not drinking," Logan said.

"Yeah right," she muttered.

"Um, I told her about our little one," Rory said softly.

"You did? Good," Logan said, a shit-eating grin on his face as he kissed her forehead. "We hope you're as happy as we are, it's a pretty big deal for us."

"And a pretty big responsibility too," Lorelai said suggestively.

"You know I have a job, right?" Logan asked his eyebrow raised at her doubting his responsibility.

"And we live together, take care of ourselves. We manage to pay the bills and we're currently looking at houses," Rory added.

"We know a baby is a lot of work, but we're ready for all that work, I'm ready to start a family with Rory. This is something I've been waiting for since I met her," Logan said.

"I'm sure," Lorelai said, rolling her eyes. "And how long until you get bored playing house?"

Logan was fuming and Rory, who was usually mad as a hornet when they went round for round with her mother, just sagged against him. She had no fight left in her and that made him angrier than anything, that his girl couldn't even bring herself to care anymore.

"I think you should go," Logan told her.

"Excuse you? Go where?"

"You know what Lorelai I don't really care. I don't care where you go. Go back to the hotel, go to the bar, go back to Stars Hollow, just go somewhere else. You have managed to turn what should be the most precious moment of your daughter's life, of my life, into something negative. It takes a really special person to be able to do that so congratulations. Now go away."

"See Rory this is what I-,"

"Stop. He's right. He's absolutely right and I think you should go. I can't do this anymore, especially not with a baby on the way. Just go and whenever you manage to come to your senses, I will be more than happy to have that conversation with you. But Logan and I do not deserve the snarky comments about our last name, or about our baby, or about how little you think of our relationship. Logan and this baby mean everything to me, they are my world! That world has plenty of room for you in it, but not if you're going to continue to disrespect the most precious things in my life."

Lorelai stood in front of them for no more than 3 minutes, but it felt like hours. The hurt and betrayal were evident on her face. Rory wanted to feel bad for her mother, but she just couldn't. She had caused the rift between them and now it was up to her to fix it too. She rested her head on Logan's chest when her mother finally turned her back to them and went towards the direction of the party.

She looked up at him and kissed his cheek. "I think I'm ready to go too."

"Sweetheart I don't blame you," he rubbed her back and lowered his head to kiss her. She kissed him back, lazily and lovingly.

"Let's go back to our room, and take a nice long bath," she said softly before kissing him again. "I need you to make me forget about all this shit."

"Mm gladly." He held her face in his hands, his right slipping into her long locks. She moaned against his lips, making him even more impatient for all that forgetting they were going to be doing later.

"Rory are you and your mom still- oh shit."

Knowing what a public party they were doing this at, they should have known they were going to be interrupted, but Rory was still surprised, and she still bit Logan's lip. "Oh god Logan I'm so sorry," she was quick to apologize as soon as she did it.

"Don't worry about it, Ace, you'll make it better later," he joked, kissing her forehead.

"So you didn't come alone."

"Nope, no I didn't. Um, you remember Jess, right honey?" she asked.

"I do," he nodded. "Good to see you again man." Logan offered his hand to Jess but was completely ignored as Jess slid his hand in his pocket. Withdrawing his hand, Logan settled it back on Rory's stomach, making it blatantly obvious as to their situation. Jess would have to be a complete imbecile to not notice what was going on, though Logan wouldn't put it past him.

"Wish I could say the same," Jess said.

"Alright then," Logan sighed.

"Ok, well there's no love lost here. But we're all kind of going to be family soon so-." And for the second time that night, Rory was cut off from speaking.

"We aren't family," Jess said.

"Your Uncle is married to my Mom," Rory said.

"So what? I'm your cousin, not your boyfriend's," Jess said.

"Fiancé," Logan corrected.

"Why do you keep telling people that? You're my baby daddy. That sounds way better than fiancé," Rory teased him.

"You know, it really doesn't," Logan laughed.

"Wait, you're engaged?" Jess asked, shocked. "To be married?"

"Well he knocked me up, so what choice did I have?" Rory said.

"I proposed before you got pregnant," Logan corrected.

"That's what you think," she said, looking up at him.

"Really? You're telling me this body is 4 months pregnant? I think not," he said.

"Good genes," she shrugged.

"Mhm, well miss good genes, that puts you two months closer to your third trimester, so it looks like someone isn't going to Aspen with me," he said, playing along.

"Ok, jokes over," she said, putting a hand over his on her bump.

"I thought so," he laughed.

"You're really pregnant?" Jess asked.

"I am," she nodded. There was no point in hiding it anymore. They already told Lorelai and after that, it didn't matter who knew. It was a sore spot for her but Jess sure as hell wouldn't be running to talk to her about it.

"How far along?" he asked.

"Baby Huntz is just 2 months old," Rory said.

"Wow, well um, congratulations," he said.

"Thanks," she said.

"I just can't believe that," Jess said, shaking his head. "I mean you're only 24."

"Yeah," she shrugged before looking up at Logan. "But we're ready."

"Absolutely," he said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"Are you getting married before you have it?" Jess asked.

"No, we're not," Logan said, rolling his eyes. "Because mommy here doesn't want to look like a blimp in her wedding dress."

"I only get one wedding and this way our little munchkin can be in the wedding," she reminded him.

"That will be cute," Logan nodded.

"Do you know the sex yet?" Jess asked. He still couldn't seem to wrap his head around the fact that the woman he was still pining for was now engaged and pregnant, so questions were the best route.

"Not yet, soon though," Logan said.

"We debated waiting and being surprised but I know I can't do it," Rory joked.

"Can't do what?" Lorelai asked as she walked up to them with two glasses of wine and Luke in tow.

"Oh, um," Rory stuttered. Lorelai knew but she wanted to tell Luke herself. Well, maybe Lorelai already told him, it wouldn't surprise her.

"She just said she couldn't wait to find out the baby's gender," Jess started.

"The what?" Luke asked, his eyes growing wide. He turned to look at Rory with a huge smile.

"The baby," she shrugged, biting her lip. Or maybe Lorelai didn't say anything.

"You're pregnant?" he asked her, before turning to Logan. "She's pregnant?"

"We're pregnant," Logan confirmed, nodding at Luke and pulling his fiancé closer to kiss her forehead. "2 months along."

"Wow! Wow, I mean that is… wow!" Luke stuttered. He quickly handed off his drink to Lorelai and then pulled Rory out of Logan's arms to give her a huge hug. "This is huge kid, this is amazing!"

"I'm glad you agree," she couldn't help but laugh as she hugged him back.

"This is incredible! You're going to be a mom, oh my god Logan you're going to be a dad, I- I am just so excited."

"Aw Luke," Rory was so touched at how thrilled he was. "And don't forget, you're going to be a grandpa!"

"Holy crap kid you're making me a grandpa," he pulled away from her to look at every one. "Am I too young to be a grandpa?"

"Maybe a little, sorry about that," Logan chuckled as Rory took his hand in hers.

"Wow, a baby. Lor we're gonna have a little baby around."

"Yeah," she said, nearly inaudibly.

"You too, come here," Luke pulled Logan in for a hug too, the excitement so clearly evident on the face of a man who never gets excited about anything. "I am so happy for you guys, this is amazing."

"We'll tell him about the name later, he might combust if we tell him now," Rory whispered when she had her fiancé back in her arms.

"This could not come at a better time, Jess is doing fantastic, and Rory and Logan, you guys are getting married and having kids. I'm so proud of all of you, this is just… I'm just glad you're all happy. You know I love you all like my own."

"Luke you're going to make me cry," Rory told him, her emotions getting the better of her.

"Yeah, jesus Uncle Luke," Jess joked, wiping away a fake tear. Even Lorelai managed a laugh at that one.

Rory could tell he was going to make an amazing grandad. And there was no way she would let Lorelai's actions stop him from seeing the baby, her issues with her mother in no way shape or form extended to Luke. He had tried to talk to her numerous times without success and at this point all he could do was let Rory handle it.

They stayed for hours, long passed the time the event ended, and Rory and Logan surprisingly enjoyed themselves. Jess was obviously still in love with Rory and Logan couldn't exactly blame him. He couldn't imagine falling out of love with her even if they were no longer together. Better Jess than him, but he still felt for the guy. At around midnight they finally left with a promise from Jess to Luke that he would visit soon. Everyone was exhausted so Logan left a message with his Pilot that they would fly out 2 hours later than planned.

The ride home was silent. Logan would have thought everyone else was asleep if he couldn't hear them shifting around every once in a while. Neither of them had said a word to Lorelai since their little incident and Logan didn't think a conversation was in the near future. Both women were far too stubborn to cave and speak first, and quite frankly it wasn't really Rory's responsibility to do so anyway. She had tried to remain civil with her mother, but it just came to a point where she couldn't anymore. it was like talking to a wall.

Eventually, they would make up, at least partially. Probably not until after the baby was born though and Logan hated that. He wanted his Ace to be able to go through this with her mother.

He raised her hand to his lips and glanced at her. Despite everything weighing on her mind she smiled at him, she couldn't help it. He made her happier than she ever thought she could be. She was going to be more than fine. With or without her mother.
