Doctors Office
"Mrs. Huntzburger, Mr. Huntzburger I see congratulations are in order?" Dr Marion asks
"Thank you, I'm still a bit scared im not due to finish school until winter and we don't know how far along I am" Rory says
"Well we can do an ultrasound and see what we can find out" Dr. Marion says
"That would be great, I am worried about when I got pregnant because we spent the summer abroad and I drank most of the time" Rory says
"Ok let's see how far along you are" Dr Marion says
~Dr Marion puts the gel on Rory's stomach and moves the paddle around hummin and hawing and typing in a few things~
"Alright so from what I can see and by your last period you would be about 5 weeks 2 days, Due around march 17th and Conception would have been around June 24th. Does that sound about right?" Dr Marion asks
"Yes, that sounds about right, Now about the drinking, would it have any effect on the baby?" Logan asks
"I would say there would be little to no effect at this point as long as you don't drink anymore" Dr Marion says
"I stopped drinking about 3 or 4 weeks ago when I was starting to get a bit sick thinking it was just from to much drinking and then seasickness" Rory says
"Well you should be good then, you stopped drinking very early on. I would like to see you in another 4 weeks for a regular check up" Dr Marion says
"See you in 4 weeks, Oh and we would like it if this was kept strictly doctor patient, We aren't going to tell anyone till the second trimester if possible" Logan says shaking Dr marions hand
"Understandable, I wont say anything to Lorelai or Honor" Dr Marion says with a nod
Logan and Rory's place
"So now we know we have about 3 months after I'm done school to get settled into a place and get ready for bean" Rory says
"Now we just need to discuss what office to work from, Hartford is close to your mom and most of the gang and my dad works from that office but New York is the main office, close to Honor and Colin, away from my parents and the grandparents, still close enough your mom can drive up" Logan says
"I think we should do New York, but I want us to buy our own place not the penthouse the company owns, I don't want certain people thinking they can stop by anytime they want un announced and with a key" Rory says
"Deal, now when do you want to start looking?" Logan asks
"Now" Rory says smiling
"Ok, when we get home get comfy on the couch and I will grab the laptop and we will curl up and find possible locations" Logan says
Logan and Rory found 3 places they liked and they all happened to be around 5th ave near central park, They made appointments to see them that afternoon.
The first place was a 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom 9th floor double unit. It was beautiful but the layout was wrong for a family with small children. The second was a 2 level (7th and 8th floor) 7 bedroom, 8 bathroom apartment but once again wasn't what they were looking for.
The 3rd place was 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom, penthouse suite with a private entrance off the elevator.
They chose the 3rd place because the living space was all on one floor, they had the rooftop terrace and pool and the master bedroom was connected to a bedroom via the masterbath.

Hayden Estate
~Logan and Rory arrive at the family dinner they arranged and the maid answers~
"Hello Genevieve, They are expecting us" Rory says
"Hello Rory, Logan Of course, Let me take your coat they are in the parlor awaiting and speculating" Genevieve says
"Of course, what are they thinking? Divorce, cheating, moving far away?" Logan asks smirking
"So far divorce and moving away and starting your own company have been said" Genevieve says
"They are wrong on the divorce part clearly" Rory says giggling
"I can tell, How far along are you?" Genevieve whispers
"What, what do you mean" Rory stutters quietly
"Oh hush girl, I have known you since you were a baby, I can tell. I would say this dinner is the announcement so your second trimester?" Genevieve whispers
"Yes 12 weeks about" Rory whispers smiling
"Congratulations to you both, Now you better get moving before Mrs. Gilmore comes" Genevieve says
"Thank you" Logan says kissing her on the cheek
~Logan and Rory walk into the parlor straight faced~
"Rory Darling, Logan, Its nice to see you both together" Emily says
"Thank you grandma" Rory says to Emily
~Everyone says their pleasantries and they all sit~
"Now that we are done with greetings, why have you gathered us all here" Emily asks
"Emily, please" Richard scoffs
"Well, I'm worried" Emily sighs
"Its nothing to worry about, its actually a few things" Logan says
"Intriguing" Christopher says
"Logan your not planning on leaving HPG are you?" Elias asks
"No, we are staying at HPG, We actually plan on working from the New York office, Dad wont have to spend so much time in New York or traveling back and forth so often" Logan says
"That's going to be a long commute for you both everyday from New Haven" Emily says
"Grandma, we aren't going to be commuting from New Haven we are going to rent the apartment out in New Haven after I graduate and we bought an apartment in New York we are moving into" Rory says
"You cant live in New York if you plan on having children soon. Children should not be raised in an apartment in the city, they should be raised with a yard in a home in an area like Hartford" Shira says
"Well mother that's the thing we bought a penthouse apartment and we have the whole rooftop so there is more then enough area for kids to play" Logan says
"Wait Lorelai why aren't you shocked or upset that your only child is moving to New York?" Emily asks
"That would be because I have seen the apartment they bought and I love it as much as they do" Lorelai says
"I personally think it's a good idea" Francine says
"Why, as soon as she graduates they will be trying for children and they wont have any of us close to help with the children" Shira says
"Excuse me, you think they are going to start trying for a baby as soon as she graduates because you expect to be a grandmother after 4 years of them being married" Christopher says
"No, I don't expect it. I just assumed that they would be trying soon" Shira says
"No we will not be trying for a baby" Logan says looking at Rory for approval and she nods yes
"We wont be trying because unexpectedly we got pregnant" Logan says
"I'm sorry mommy, we were careful it just happened" Rory says quietly
"Well you at least lasted 4 years being married before you knocked my granddaughter up" Francine says laughing
"Wait, How, when...?" Lorelai asks
"I think of all people we shouldn't have to tell you how it happened, We found out on our anniversary. Im due March 17th so I'm 12 weeks now" Rory says smiling
"Are you both happy?" Mitchum asks
"At first we freaked out a bit but we are so happy, the baby is doing so well apparently bean is big" Logan says smiling
"Bean?" Emily asks
"Yes as in our little coffee bean, that's our nick name for the baby" Rory says
"That's rather a cute nickname for now" Shira says smiling that she's finally getting a grandchild
"The day we found out I called the baby our bean and its stuck since" Rory says smiling
" Oh no what about Honors wedding we are going to have to let out the dress" Shira says
"No we wont I got an empire waited dress, I'm not even showing as of yet anyways" Rory says
"Oh within 2 months you will be getting big I'm sure" Shira says
"Not everyone's body acts like yours does Shira, she wont gain the 100+ lbs. you did. She's so tiny to begin with and always has been, you have struggled from the time we met." Mitchum says
"Mitchum" Shira shrieks
"What, it's the truth, You haven't been a tiny woman since you were 19 and even then you fought with your weight since you were a small child" Mitchum says
"Ok enough talking about peoples weight" Logan says
"Oh, this is so exciting. We have so much to plan and do before the baby is born" Emily says
"What do you mean Grandma?" Rory asks
"Well we have to plan a baby shower, Get the apartment decorated and the nursery done also" Emily says
"Grandma it's already started, Mom is helping me with the bedroom's, But I was going to ask if you, Gran Emma and Grandma Francine could help us with the formal dining room and Livingroom." Rory says
"That would be wonderful, We would love to help" the three say
"I'm taking on the Library on as my own little secret project for Rory, I was hoping that, our father's and grandfather's would like to help me" Logan says smirking
"We would love to do such a special project for Rory, We all know it will be her room and I'm sure a lot of reading to the baby will be done there also" Elias says
"That isn't even a doubt in my mind" Logan says
