When Rory stepped out of her room, she saw Finn instead of Logan. He turned around, and she watched his jaw drop.
"Oh come on, I'm a pregnant lady in a dress and flats," she said rolling her eyes.
He just shook his head, "Love, if only you could see what we do. I would run away with you in a heartbeat if you would have me," he said with a wink.
"Oh Finn, you know I love you?"
He nodded and smiled, "I love you too. And that's why it's time to put this on," he pulled out a blindfold, "and see what he has in store for you."
Being with Logan this long, Rory wasn't surprised by the blindfold at all. She just chuckled and nodded, "ok, but careful with the hair."
He put the blindfold on her, took her arm in his, and led her out the door. To Rory's surprise, they didn't go far before they stopped. She was fairly certain that he had brought her to their new apartment. He opened the door and brought her in, waited a moment while she heard feet shuffling, and then took off the blindfold.
She looked around. They were definitely in her apartment. The designer was supposed to have almost everything set up by now. Instead, some things were set up, but in front of the fireplace, where there was supposed to be a couch, was a long white runner. It led to Robert, Colin, and, of course, Logan. Around the huge room that had a kitchen, dining area, and living room, she could see that some furniture had been moved in, but the lights were all off. There were twinkle lights all over the living room, the fire was lit, and candles all over the floor. She also noticed a photographer camped out in one corner taking pictures.
"Well, Love, would you allow your maid of honor to walk you down the aisle?" He asked with a twinkle in his eye.
"I can't think of anything more fitting."
She took a deep breath and put her arm back in his. They walked down the aisle to the three men. She turned to Logan and took his hands while Finn stood next to her and Colin on the other side of Logan.
"You look amazing," he said to her.
"You don't look so bad yourself," she leaned forward and kissed him lightly.
"Alright you two, let's get you married and then you can do as much of that as you want!" Robert said with a smirk.
They both nodded at him, and Logan said, "better get to it then."
Robert's grin disappeared and he looked very serious, "Well, I was trying to decide the best way to do this, and I know that neither of you worry too much about the traditional ways. So, I thought we would keep this simple. I have never known two people that balanced each other out more perfectly than the both of you. This union has been a long time coming and now we will have a little girl to celebrate your love even more. Some might even call her your savior."
By this time, everyone was tearing up, so Robert decided to cut to the chase. "Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, do you take Logan Huntzberger to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do you part?"
"I do."
"Logan Elias Huntzberger, do you take Lorelai Gilmore to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do you part?"
"I do."
Robert pulled out the rings and handed them to Logan and Rory to put on each other. "Place these rings on each other's fingers as a sign of your love for each other."
The photographer had moved in slightly to get better shots, but neither of them noticed, they barely even heard Robert.
"Now then, by the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Logan, kiss her before one of us do."
He took her in his arms and dipped her while claiming her lips in a fierce kiss that would have been deemed inappropriate if this wasn't a very small wedding, but neither of them cared. Rory couldn't believe it, they were finally married.
The photographer asked to take a few pictures of them and then left.
"Well kids, we knew this wouldn't take long, so we have Chinese on the way, should be here soon. Shall we adjourn to the dining area?" Colin asked them.
They all agreed and right as they sat down, the buzzer rang. "I'll get it. Colin answered it and then met him at the elevator. "Ok, we have got a buffet here! Let me set it all out and then you can go for it."
They all ate together and chatted. Logan told her that he had asked the interior designer to hold off until morning for the living room. He rented a room at the plaza for them tonight with late checkout. He had also arranged for all of their things to be moved in too. The goal was to keep Rory as relaxed as possible over the next few weeks.
As soon as they were done, they thanked the guys for everything and headed to the hotel. The ride in the back of the car was quiet. They simply sat wrapped up in each other, not saying a word.
When they were in the elevator, almost to their floor, Logan handed Rory the key card, "since I am carrying you over the threshold, I'm going to need you to unlock the door." She just smiled and nodded. The doors to the elevator opened and Logan picked her up and carried her to the room.
Once inside, he set her down and they looked around. There were rose petals and candles everywhere leading to the bedroom. "Wow Logan, I love it. Thank you."
"I can promise you right now, that I will only ever have the best for you. I love you Mrs. Huntzberger."
She turned and kissed him. "I love you too, Mr. Huntzberger."
The kisses turned hot quickly, and it wasn't long until Logan led her to the bedroom and began relieving her of her clothes. She did the same for him. Like a well oiled machine, it wasn't long until they tumbled into bed together naked and showed each other just how happy they were to finally be husband and wife.
They laid tangled in bed, waiting for their heartbeats to slow down. "God Ace, I love you."
She snuggled into his side. "I love you too. Thank you for today."
He smiled, "figured out that I was behind that, huh?"
"I know you pretty well."
"Ya, you do. Are you really ok with how we did this?"
"I thought the sex was pretty good."
He couldn't help but laugh, she had always kept him on his toes, never knowing what was going to roll off of her tongue next. He shook his head, "you know what I meant."
She smiled and nodded. "Payback for that arrangement talk," she winked at him, "but yes, I'm ok with it. When the second line showed up on that pregnancy test, the one thing that kept running through my mind was that I wished we were already married and settled. I was terrified that I might be raising the baby on my own, that you might not want any part of it."
She could feel him tensing and opening his mouth to talk so she quickly continued, "I know now how ridiculous that fear was, but I had just turned down your marriage proposal. I had no idea how things were going to turn out and I was so alone."
"I'm sorry you were alone for any of it Ace. I'm just so glad that you weren't alone for long."
"Those three men, Finn especially, made sure that I was never really alone from the minute they found out. They made sure that the girls were around, that I had someone. I know that if Finn hadn't taken me in, that Robert or Colin would have. That's why tonight was perfect. I should probably call Mom though."
Logan smiled and nodded, "ya, she'll want to know how it went."
She turned and looked up at him, then laughed, "I should have known...she must love you now. I can't believe she gave you her blessing not to be there."
"She said she understood loving someone so much that the only thing you wanted was to be married to them, circumstances be damned. It's funny, she told me if Luke wanted to run away, that she would in a heartbeat. That was before it all went down last weekend."
"She's pretty amazing. I don't know how she raised me by herself...I was terrified that I might have to."
"You have no idea how strong you are Ace."
"You continue to show me, every day."
"And I always will."
