I don't know where this idea came from. I know it's been done a million times as well, but I had to have my hand at it. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the journey ahead. It isn't going to be an easy one. Happy reading!

Rory Gilmore knew that she would find herself at this place at some point in her life, but she never imagined that it would be like this. Rory was laying her grandmother to rest. Emily Gilmore was a tough egg to crack, but there was never a doubt that she loved her granddaughter more than anything in the world. Rory didn't know if she would have made it through the last five years without her.

Rory was walking around the Hartford home that had become hers. Everyone that knew her grandmother was there. It was uncomfortable being surrounded by people that she wasn't familiar with or had not been for years, but she was glad to see so many people there to pay their respects to her. She had always been a very popular person. Between the charities that she supported and the Daughters of the American Revolution, everyone between Hartford and Nantucket were there. Rory had loved all of the time she had gotten to spend with her grandmother, especially since she had moved to Nantucket. She had become a different person. A person that Rory had come to be even closer with than ever before.

Rory was walking around the living room when she literally bumped into someone. She looked up and locked eyes with last person she ever expected to see again. Logan Huntzberger.

She gasped. Logan was just as attractive has he had ever been. He had even gotten better looking with age. He said, "Hey Ace."

"Logan! What are you doing here?"

"I heard about your grandma. I had to come and give my condolences. I never forgave myself for not being there for you when Richard passed away. I couldn't do that again. Richard and Emily were both wonderful people."

"It's been over five years, Logan. What does your wife think of all of this? I'm sure she can't be happy that you flew across the ocean to attend your ex-girlfriend's grandmother's funeral."

"She doesn't have a say. Umm… I'm not married. Odette cheated on me not even six months into the marriage. She got pregnant and tried to make me believe that the baby was mine. I knew it wasn't. She had been seeing a French socialite on the side. It was a breach of contract in all of the paperwork from the marriage. The prenup was null. I'm surprised that you didn't hear about it. It was big news on page six about four years ago. I'm not in London either."

"You aren't in London?"

"No. I have been in New York since the divorce."

"Oh. I had no idea."

"Hmm… I'm surprised. I ran into Emily about four years ago. I would have thought she would have told you."

"I was going through some stuff about four years ago. That is probably why. She always had a need to protect me, even when I didn't need it."

"What's up, Ror?"

"Just living life. I'm getting ready to write the second book in the series. It's been a while since I have written anything."

"That is great, Ace! I read your first book. I've been waiting for the next. The way you write I can't believe it has taken you this long to get to the next book."

"Oh, you know. Sometimes life gets in the way."

"Yeah. I would say that it does. So, what do you say, Ace? Can we get together and catch up? I have missed you."

"Logan, I don't know if that is such a good idea."

"Why not? It couldn't possibly hurt anything for the two of us to catch up on life."

As if right on cue, a little girl came barreling for Rory's legs with tears running down her cheeks. Rory scooped her up in her arms like it was the easiest thing she had ever done. The little girl laid her head on her shoulder and said, "Mommy…"

Logan just looked on speechless.

Rory asked, "What's the matter, pumpkin? Where is your brother?"

"Nana got him. He was mean."

"Oh no. Not Scotty. Say it isn't so."

"Mommy, he mean."

"Well, we'll have to have a talk with him. Remember you need to be a good girl. We have to say goodbye to grandma."

"I sorry. I be a better girl."

Rory kissed her head. "That's my girl."

Rory looked at Logan. She didn't see her day going this way. Logan just looked at her and said, "You're a mom."

Rory stood frozen as she tried to figure out where to go from there.
