Plans change - Gilmore Girls

Chapter 13

"You have no idea how much better of a cuddler you are than Finn," she said with a wink.

"I hope you can't compare anything else I did last night to him," he growled as he kissed her.

"Well I was pretty lonely..." she said slowly, teasing him.

"Do you know what happens to someone who teases their fiancé?"

She put her hand to her chin and pretended to think, "I can't seem to remember."

"Guess I'll have to show you then," he said as he pulled her as close as possible and ran his hands down her body.

It was about an hour and a half later by the time they managed to take their hands off each other and showered.

"So," Rory began, "how should we do this? And remember that pregnant women eat often...so I'm gonna need some breakfast...soon...especially after the sleepless night I had," she finished with a wink.

Logan looked at his fiancé. She was dressed in red leggings and an extra long black sweater. He was thankful that he was home before the holidays. Thanksgiving was going to be extra special this year with her by his side. He took her in his arms, even pregnant, she still fit just right. "How about we round up Honor and Josh and the hangovers for brunch, then we head to Hartford and tell my parents and your grandparents?"

"Sounds good, you get Honor and the guys, I'll get the girls."

They made their calls and rounded everyone up, even if they did complain a little for being woken at the "ungodly" hour of ten thirty.

They were in the car, on their way to brunch.  Logan noticed Rory had been fidgeting and seemed nervous about something.  He took her hand and turned her head towards him, "hey, what's wrong?"

She took a deep breath, "well, I don't know how to ask this...but...would you mind if I tell Finn by myself?"

"You think he'll be upset?" he asked a little confused.

"No! Gosh no!  But these last few months...Logan, he's my best friend.  He's the one that kept me from falling apart more than anyone else, and I really want to share it with him, just the two of us.  Would you mind?" 

He could tell she was worried about him understanding the reasoning.  He knew they had grown very close, but he didn't realize she considered him her best friend now.  "I know that you two have been really close, it's a little hard for me to grasp, but I'll get there.  Pull him aside when we get there but tell him to keep his mouth shut until we tell everyone else together...is that alright?"

She smiled a huge smile and kissed him, "yes, thank you."

He held her close.  "Is he gonna be the maid of honor in our wedding?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

She chuckled and winked, "now that is an excellent idea!"

They pulled up to the restaurant and everyone was waiting.  Rory pulled Finn aside and into a dark corner where no one could see them.

"Alright what'd you break?" He asked.

"What makes you think we broke something?"

"Well I let you have the whole apartment to yourselves, I assume you two had a wild and crazy reunion, and now you're pulling me aside because I can't get mad at the pregnant woman as opposed to Logan, right?"

She started laughing, "we didn't break anything  Finn, and I promise the wild and crazy reunion stayed within my room."

"Alright then, what's up?"

"Well, I wanted to tell you myself...Logan asked me to marry him again last night."

His eyes got a little wide and he waited for the rest, but she didn't continue.  "And??"

She lifted her hand up, "I said yes!"

He grabbed her and hugged her as tightly as he could.  "Thank god love!  I was worried you two would take forever to get it sorted.  God I am so happy for you."  He kissed her on top of the head and then released her.

She wiped away tear and he raised an eyebrow at her.  "It's a happy one, hormones, remember?"

He chuckled and took her hand and led her back to the table. 

When they got there, he noticed Logan looking at him and he gave him a small nod. 

Logan had sat down and whispered the news in Honor's ear but told her she couldn't react because they wanted to tell everyone else together.  She squeezed his hand and smiled. 

Everyone got their drinks and ordered their food.  Once the waiter left, Logan looked at Rory, and she nodded back.  He tapped his fork on his glass to get their attention.  Once they were all looking at him, he took Rory's hand and stood up. 

"We wanted you all to be together when we told you, last night I asked Rory to marry me again," he looked at her and winked, "and this time she said yes!"  He held up her hand with the ring on it. 

Honor jumped up, as quickly as a person can when they're pregnant, and hugged Rory.  "Finally I get a sister.  I'm so glad it's you."

They were both tearing up.  "Me too," Rory replied. 

They finally broke apart so the others could get their hugs and congratulations in too. 

Colin got to her next, "I'm glad you figured it out.  You make each other better when you're together."

"Thank you Colin."

Robert winked at her, "here I thought maybe I had a chance again."

"Uncle Robert has a nice ring to it though," she said as she hugged him.

The girls all crowded around her and tried to hug her all at once as their food arrived.

Stephanie spoke up, "so, any plans made yet?"

"Well we are going to Hartford today to let everyone else know...as far as what and when...that's up to Ace," Logan explained.

Rory smiled, "well, I would love to be married before the baby comes but that means that we have a month and a half at most...I just don't think it would work.  It's probably better to wait until we get settled in to the apartment and used to having a baby."

Logan nodded in agreement with Rory, and they enjoyed the time with their friends before they had to tell the rest of their families.
