Okay, I am so sorry for the length of time between updates, my muse, she left me and I stared at this chapter forever without any clue where it was going. So here it is. Not my best
On their way back to Yale, Logan was going back and forth between shock and awe. "I can't believe that my parents said that! It was completely unbelievable." He looked at Rory and grinned. "Then you and your grandmother with the whole cell phone thing, awesome!" He laughed pulling into the parking lot in front of her dorm. However, when he turned the car off, he turned and looked at her with a serious expression. "Rory, why didn't you tell me that people had been talking about you and your mom like that?"
Rory shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "I never told anybody." She replied. "Not even my mom. She didn't need to know that the kids at my high school made up nasty rumors about me and her when they found out I was born out of wedlock. That was something that simply wasn't done in society. All unplanned pregnancies were covered by a hasty marriage or being shipped off to a relatives or "fat camp" for the duration. When my classmates learned I was one of those Gilmores, the ones in society and my mother wasn't married I became a pariah. The only person who would talk to me was Paris and that's because I was her only competition for valedictorian. Here, everyone from society idolizes my mother because they think she had an illicit affair with the gardener or the pool boy as a rebellion against society and I was the unfortunate by-product! Never do they think my mother stood up for herself and did what she thought was best for the two of us. All they think is 'oh no, she was cut off from her trust fund!' In reality, she still had access to her trust fund, she's has never touched it, not once, because she wanted away from that world and she wanted me away from that world. She wanted me grounded and how to work for each dollar I have! I don't have anything against the people of society except for how I was treated by them and how they treated my mother. Yes they could be a little more frugal, but if they want to continue conspicuous consumerism then that's their right!" Rory was panting by the end of her tirade leaving a very stunned Logan in front of her.
"Wow Ace," he said, "I am so sorry that you've had to deal with this all these years." He leaned forward and cupped her face, looking her straight in the eyes, he whispered, "For what it's worth, I think your mother was very brave and strong for giving up what's easy for what was right for the two of you. I don't think that you would be the person you are today if you grew up in society, and for that I am forever grateful." With that he leaned forward and captured her lips with his.
The next day, Logan was jerked awake by incessant ringing. Blinking, he tried to figure out where he was. The Purple comforter was definitely not his and his arm was numb. Looking over he saw the brunette angel that had captured his heart. Right, he thought remembering last night's events, I'm in Rory's room. Looking around for the telephone that had awoken him, he found Rory's cell. Checking the caller ID he read MOM and decided to wake her up. Rory never missed a call from her mom; they were like best friends in that way. "Ace, wake up," he said shaking her gently, aware of the dangers of waking her up before having coffee ready. "C'mon Ace, it's your mom." With that, her eyes fluttered open and she took the phone and flipped it open.
"Hello?" she mumbled, not truly awake. At this, Logan slid out of bed and made coffee.
"Hello?" A perky voice came through the phone line. "Is that how I taught you to answer the phone. Now I'm hanging up and you are going to answer like the Gilmore Girl I raised." At this the call was suddenly disconnected. Not three seconds later, Rory was staring at her phone which was blinking MOM again.
"Rory's House of Pleasure, for Trixie press 1, for Daisy press 2, for Desiree press 3, for a threesome press 4. If you want to talk to the manager simply stay on the line." Rory chirped laughing as Logan walked in with a scared look on his face. "Is that better mommy dearest?"
"Much." came the reply, "now, explain to mommy why she got a call from your grandparents, telling me that we were having a family meeting today at 3:30 at their house. And sweets, by family, they mean everyone. What happened at that dinner last night that has everyone in a snit? And why didn't you tell me yesterday that something big happened?"
Rory sighed, inwardly cringing at the thought of explaining to her parents and grandparents. How is she supposed to tell them that all through high school she was a pariah, and she still is at the high society parties that her grandparents threw? "Mommy, I will explain everything at the family meeting, I don't want to explain things over and over. I will see you at 3:30 at the grandparents house, wait, which grandparent's house?"
"The Hayden's. Apparently there are some drapes that your other grandmother wants to look at. I don't know, I wasn't listening that closely." Lorelai replied.
Rory laughed at the mention of the drapes. "Okay mom, I have to go. I still need to talk to Logan about everything that happened last night. I will see you later this afternoon."
" I guess I will talk to you then. Okay sweets, I love you!"
"Love you too mommy! I will see you then." Rory answered. She looked at the blonde sitting in front of her holding her favorite mug filled to the brim with coffee. "Oooh, I will call you Coffee God! You bring me the elixir of life without the lecture that usually comes with coffee when Luke gets it for us." She smiled at him as she took a long sip of the delightful liquid.
Logan looked at her with solemn eyes. "You know we need to talk about what happened last night, right?"
Rory sighed. "I hoped to have had more time to prepare you for this, but I suppose I should start with my parents." She took another sip of coffee and a deep breath. "Okay, so my parents were a lot like you and your friends, despised society, thought it was fake and pointless. However, unlike you and your friends, my parents didn't play along. They fought against it. One particular rebellion was in the form of…ummm let's call it enjoying themselves on the balcony in mom's room. The result was me. My father's name is Christopher Hayden. My mother's name is Lorelai Gilmore. My full name is Lorelai Leigh Gilmore-Hayden III. Mom decided not to marry dad because she wasn't ready for marriage, so after I was born, she took me away, to a little town called Stars Hollow, and we've lived there for my whole life. I went to Chilton Preparatory Academy, starting my sophomore year, when everyone realized who I was, I was a pariah, except for two people. Paris, she just saw me as competition for valedictorian, and then there was Tristan. He saw me as the ultimate conquest, if he could get me, someone he considered a "Mary", then he could have gotten the Gilmore scandal spread a little farther. I got in trouble with my headmaster who told me that I wouldn't get a letter of recommendation if I didn't get involved. So I did, only to find out that the group I got involved with decided to break into the school as initiation." Rory trailed off watching Logan's face for pity. The one thing she didn't want was pity. "I have always been the Hayden Heiress, I just wanted to stay away from the life my parents ran away from. I was supposed to come out on my 21st birthday, it's just happening a little early now."
Logan went around to sit by Rory's side. He put his arm around her and pulled her close. "Ace, I'm so sorry that my parents are putting you in this position. They are so –"
Rory cut him off. "Logan, don't blame your parents. I think that this can be a good thing. I'll be announced as inheriting at 21, and I will be able to train better for the role without having to hide everything all the time." She smiled at him. "Don't ever tell your parents this, but it could be a blessing in disguise."
Logan laughed. "Don't worry, I would never tell them that they were a help to my girlfriend."
So there it is…please review. Let me know what you think, any grammar corrections, well pretty much anything wrong with the chapter. Thank you
