One year later…

"So what does it feel like to be a bride again?" Lorelai asked Rory as she fixed her hair in the mirror.

It was exactly a year to the day since Rory had become Mrs Huntzberger and her life had changed somewhat. Little had they known that when they walked out of City Hall carrying their marriage certificate, that less than 24 hours later they'd be carrying their newborn son in their arms. It had certainly been a day to remember!

"Oh come on mom, you should know, you've done it twice yourself!" Rory joked.

"Ouch, low blow kiddo! I may have done it twice but never to the same man…" Lorelai said with a raised eyebrow.

"It feels…weird." Rory admitted "I mean we've been married for a year now but I still feel really nervous," she said putting her hand on her tummy in order to calm the butterflies that were whizzing around inside her. "I shouldn't feel nervous, right? It's just Logan".

"Just Logan and three hundred of Hartford's most prominent members of society." Lorelai pulled a face "I still don't understand how you let yourself get talked into this."

"I promised grandma…and I never go back on a promise! Besides, it's kind of nice to get to wear a wedding dress that doesn't come from a maternity range." She said smoothing down her dress. "I'm not hating getting to dress up again, it doesn't suck at all."

Lorelai looked at her daughter standing before her and took a deep breath to stop the tears escaping. There was plenty of time for crying and she didn't want to do it just yet "and what can I say, it's one hell of a dress Ror."

"Take a good look – this is what $9,000 worth of lace looks like," Rory said twirling around in her Ines Di Santo gown. It was a gorgeous silk fit and flare dress with a signature layered intricate lace overlay, illusion back and a dramatic panelled skirt. It clung to all her curves in the right places and as Rory looked at herself in the mirror she felt glad that she'd made the extra effort to shed her baby weight. It hadn't been easy forgoing the donuts but it would all be worthwhile when she saw Logan today.

Lorelai stared at her daughter opened mouth "Shut. The. Front. Door. Nine thousand dollars? That's a small family car. Oh, how the other half live…" she said wistfully.

"Or how the Huntzbergers live you mean. This is courtesy of my mother-in-law" Rory rolled her eyes. Ever since Monty had arrived, Shira had been playing very nicely - obviously keen that she wasn't cut off from her grandson. Rory had been surprised when Shira offered to buy her wedding dress but she seemed sincere enough and it felt like an olive branch was being extended so she didn't have the heart to refuse her.

"You realize when my mother sees you with that thigh-high split she's going to have a seizure, don't you? It's very sexy-sexy." Lorelai winked.

"Well, I wanted something bridal but sexy enough to set my husband's pulse racing," Rory said with a twinkle.

"Oh, I think it will definitely do that!" Lorelai laughed.


As Logan watched Rory walk towards him on the arm of her stepfather Luke, once again his breath was completely taken away. He had been a little surprised when Rory said that she had asked Luke to walk her down the aisle but Christopher was in France with Gigi and he had given them his full blessing to go ahead.

Logan hadn't expected that Rory could look any more beautiful than she did on their original wedding day but this was so different. When they had married at City Hall the previous year, she had been almost nine months pregnant – now she was back to her usual self, wearing an incredibly slinky gown and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

When she finally reached him, he couldn't help but lean in and whisper in her ear. "You look incredible in that dress, although all I can think about right now is how much I am going to enjoy taking it off you later…." He smiled.

Rory audibly gasped and blushed.

"Ooh, he said something dirty!" Lorelai squealed.

"Lorelai! Honestly" Emily scowled at her daughter.

"Well he did, I can tell by her face," Lorelai said sticking out her tongue at her mother.

Emily had insisted that the couple exchange vows and as they were both naturally born gifted writers, they had decided to go down the path of putting together their own vows.

Logan turned to Rory and took her hands firmly in his as he looked into her blue eyes and recited the vows he had been practising all morning.

Rory, you are my best friend. Since we have been together, you have made me feel more complete, more alive and you have shown me the true meaning of happiness. I am a better person with you by my side.

That's why today, in front of you, our friends, and our family I, take you to be my partner, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know.

I promise to respect you as an equal and to recognize that your interests, desires and needs are as important as mine.

I promise to laugh with you when times are good and endure with you when they are bad.

I can't wait to grow old together, getting to know the woman you will become, and falling in love a little more every day.

Today I give you my hand, my heart, and my love without condition, completely and forever.

Rory smiled at Logan when he finished, a few tears escaping. Logan reached up and brushed them off her face. She took a deep breath to try and regain her composure before starting with her own vows.

Logan, we have each travelled a broken road to get here. Today as I stand here and look at you, I see all the things I fell in love with. You are strong, smart, funny, kind, hard working, focused, understanding - an amazing man possessing all the qualities of a perfect partner. Because of you, I laugh, I smile and I enjoy life so much more than ever before.

I always wanted to find true, unconditional, knock your socks off, eternal love. Not only have I found this kind of love with you, but it's better than I could have ever imagined! I cherish this special love and the bond that we share and all the joy that it brings.

I promise not to go down old roads with you, but to make new paths for us to follow. I promise to love you more each new day than the day before.

I promise that I will always be there for you, in good times and bad. May we always laugh together like we do now, and may the stormy days we encounter and the trials we face only ever make us stronger. I promise to celebrate with you, to encourage you, to always believe in you and to always be proud of the man that you are.

I promise you that I will love you always.

When Rory finished speaking, Logan leaned in and kissed her passionately – not caring that it wasn't the right moment for such a kiss. He just couldn't help himself.

"Get a room!" Lorelai yelled while Emily scowled at her.

Rory and Logan broke away from the kiss, laughing.


"Ladies and gentleman, please join me in welcoming Mr and Mrs Huntzberger to the dancefloor"

"You know, we've done the whole first dance thing before Logan, we didn't really need to do it again," Rory said as Logan took her hand and led her onto the floor to dance.

"Ah but it wouldn't have felt right Ace!" he said as he swept her up into his arms.

"I hope you've picked something good to dance to?" Rory asked inquisitively.

"Something with meaning" Logan nodded as the band started playing the intro to Moon River.

Rory smiled. Nobody else in the room but them would know the significance of the song or remember that it was a pivotal moment in the story of Rory and Logan, but they did, and it immediately took Rory back to the moment where she had decided to be brave and go out and get what she wanted – Logan.


Due to Logan's work commitments – HPG were in the middle of a huge takeover bid – and the fact that they had a rather boisterous one year old to take care of, they were too busy to think about leaving the country to take a proper honeymoon.

Mitchum had surprised them at their reception by giving them a wedding present in the shape of the Martha's Vineyard house. He knew how much they both loved the house and he wanted to make amends for some of the things that had happened in the past so he had arranged for it to be remodelled and redecorated in time for their wedding. Mitchum knew from having his own family that the house was the perfect place for family vacations and he hoped that the couple would make many happy memories there. Rory and Logan were taken aback by Mitchum's generous gesture but accepted it gratefully, it being their home away from home when they needed a break from city life.

After the madness of the wedding reception, Rory and Logan took their son Monty to the house to have a short break and see what Mitchum had done with it. They had been completely blown away by the changes and still couldn't believe that he had done all of that for them.

Rory and Logan sat on the beach in the early evening watching the sunset while their little boy sat playing on the sand. Despite it almost being summer, there was a distinct chill in the air and Logan, noticing that Rory was shivering a little pulled her in close and wrapped her in his jacket.

"So, I was wondering what your thoughts were about getting back to work?" Logan asked Rory. "You've not mentioned it for a while…but if you were keen then we could look at getting some help with childcare?"

Rory had really enjoyed her time off with their son but did miss working. She'd managed to dip her toe in the water and dabble here and there at HPG and surprisingly she had found herself enjoying it more than she had thought she would. Mitchum had become very supportive of her and she was enjoying being part of such a globally renowned organization.

Rory turned and smiled at Logan. "I think that's a really great idea…only…" she hesitated and Logan looked at her with a question in his eyes.

"What's the matter Ace?"

"Logan?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm pregnant!"


A/N: THE END!

FULL FREAKIN' CIRCLE! And that's a wrap people! Aww, I feel a little sad that it's over, it was my first ever fanfic and I've enjoyed writing it. I'm busy working on my new one at the moment though – do check it out if you haven't, it's called The Only Truth and it's another Rogan fanfic, set after Season 7.

As a side note, a few people have mentioned about the name I chose for their son. There was no special reason behind choosing this, I just liked it. I toyed with doing what everyone else has done in fanfics and picked names that linked back to the family or had a special meaning but I don't really like that and it's not something I would personally do in real life so that's why I chose to go this way with it!
