Everyone this is the last chapter of this story. I really went longer than I planned because this was originally going to be a three parter. I might write a sequel to this in the future when I finish or make progress on my other three stories. So it might not be the end of the saga to this saga. In the meantime, I hope this story gives the reader closure.
Logan woke up he was surprised to not see Rory near him did the girl leave him already, but then he smelled something pleasant from the kitchen. He was surprised to see Rory in the suite's kitchen in front of every single breakfast food imaginable.
She smiled and paused before she spoke. "I decided today we needed to do all the things we missed out on these past 5 years. "Have breakfast together, get ice cream, and later we could go hang out with Colin and Finn…'
Logan was touched. He pulled close in an embrace and kissed her forehead. Rory sighed blissfully. "We can do all that only Colin's is in California doing law school at Stanford and Finn's taking over his family business in Australia. However, they'll both be in New York next weekend we hang out with them then…."
"I love that I miss those guys. We'll they be okay with me considering what happened these past 5 years."
Logan paused for a moment. "Well they weren't too thrilled with what happened between us but they don't hold grudges. After all, Colin still called you when I was in the hospital."
Rory smiled. "He did. So does everything look good or I can call room service to get you something else."
"Everything looks perfect Ace." He smiled as he pulled a fresh cup of coffee and started to eat his cheese and ham omelet.
"So still can't cook…" Logan joked.
Rory laughed. "Actually I recently learned to make spaghetti it's not that hard but I still can't make omelets or pancakes I learned it the hard way. Almost burned down Paris's apartment…"
Logan laughed. "How is Paris? Still crazy?"
"Well she's mellow out with Doyle and her parents wired her a wide supply of money to live off until her trust fund kicks in next year. However, Professor's and Doctor's in the Harvard Med program still fear her."
"Not surprised. So did you get any phone calls?" Referring to Rory's confrontation the previous night and he wondered how Rory's was holding up.
Rory put her coffee mug down. "Yeah I got 8 missed calls from her and 2 from Luke. I am going to call Luke and tell her I am not going to speak to her for a while and should not waste his time calling me. I just wanted today to just be about us and not the outside world."
"Look I am mad at what she did but you don't have to cut her off completely. I would understand if you still want her in your life."
Rory smiled weakly. "Logan, she went too far. She'll still be my mom but not my friend at least not until she really realizes the severity of what she did; and I know it will take a long time before she admits what she did was terrible. I am not going to lie its going to take awhile to learn how to live as someone, who's mad at their mother."
"I can help with that and so will Colin and Finn. Even though things with my parents are better, there will always be that tension. You ready to join the club..."
Rory paused to think a minute. "Well it's not a club I wanted to join but with all the support how can I say no. "
Rory and Logan both kissed each other for a minute. The kiss was long and sweet one to fill an emotional need and connection.
When Logan pulled away, he tucked a strain of hair behind her ear. "I am really glad I ran into you last night…."
Rory smiled. "Me too…" For the first time in a long time, Rory felt pure unadulterated happiness.
Rory and Logan had a great day. After breakfast they both sat together reading the paper and even argued a little about one lingering over an important section to much. Rory smiled it was such a couple thing to do and something that she looked forward to spend many mornings. Playful arguing with Logan was so much fun because Logan was as smart as she was and he was always challenged her to prove him wrong.
Logan and Rory then had lunch at this coffee place they used to go sometimes in their no strings relationship where they spent a good 3 to 4 hours catching up on what been going on in their lives during the past 5 years.
They had then went and had ice scream at Ashley's one of Rory's favorite places to get ice scream in New Haven and had ice scream sundaes. Now they were at Rich Man Shoe watching salsa dancing it was apparently Salsa night.
"Well salsa night certainly beats folk night." Logan said although he was not proud of what he did to the folk singer.
"The folk singer was not that bad, I saw her with an old friend she did not deserve to have scotch thrown at her." She said pointing to Logan.
"Yeah that wasn't my proudest moment. However, I apologized to her by buying her and her boyfriend a round of drinks. She really appreciated it."
Rory smiled in spite of Logan's flaws he always acknowledged his mistakes. "You know I am proud of you Logan. For standing up to your Dad, running a successful business, and being an excellent boyfriend."
"Well I have only been a boyfriend for one day…" Logan smiled.
"It's been a really good day. I have been with Marty for two years and while we had good times, I have never felt as free and happy as I felt with you." She leaned over and gave him a light kiss on the lips.
Logan pulled her into his arms and she leaned against him. After a long minute Logan finally spoke. "You never told me why you broke up with him."
"He proposed and I could just picture our future. Everything I saw in our future wasn't bad but there was no passion and I couldn't live like that anymore. Mom thought that I was being scared, but I know I made the right decision."
Logan pulled away. "You did you deserve to be madly in love when someone asks you to marry you."
"So do you Logan…" She knew they had just started going out but she hoped one day, when they walked down the aisle. She then noticed a slow Latin song playing and some couples got up to dance.
Logan smiled. "You know you owe me a dance. There was dancing at my graduation party not Latin but well beggars can't be choosers."
Rory pulled him up. "I love to..." They had a long kiss before they hit the dance floor as they were dancing Rory was happy that she and Logan were finally at the place they were suppose to be.
Two weeks later Rory got her last box before she would exit her apartment. As much as she would miss Hartford and certain aspects of her old life, she was very eager to go to New York. She was ready to enjoy the energy of a big City and to spend more time with Logan without having to commute a long distance.
Rory was ready to put her last box in the moving van that Logan rented for her. When she heard a knock on the door. She smiled thinking it was Logan telling her to stop feeling nostalgic and to come to the van; she was surprised when she saw Lorelai.
"Hi Mom..." Rory said softly. She had barely talked to Lorelai during the two Friday Night dinners she attended since the confrontation, she'd told Luke and her grandparents what happened and after she told them they stopped pestering her to make up with Lorelai. At least her grandparents did Luke still hoped they would make up but he at least stopped calling Rory hoping to reason with her.
"Well today you're leaving…" Lorelai said in a stern and sad voice.
"Yeah I have a last box right here. Logan is in the van waiting for me." She said quickly, she had no idea why her mother was here.
"Well I came to tell you that when this thing with Logan crashes and burns I'll still be here. So do not hesitate to call me. " Lorelai said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Rory suddenly felt her anger creep up. "You are unbelievable, Logan and I are serious this is not a fling. Anyway, I have to go…" She was not going to spend anymore time arguing with Lorelai.
Lorelai seemed crestfallen. "I only wanted what was best for you, so you could make the right decision and not wait until your mid thirties."
"I know Mom, but you went too far. However, I am not like you I fell for someone of a different background. I am sorry you cannot accept the logic, but I hope one day you can so we work thing out. In the meantime take care of yourself."
Rory started to leave. When she heard a soft voice says "Rory?"
"Yes Mom" She turned around.
Lorelai appeared to want to say she was sorry. However, the only words out of her mouth were. "Be safe…"
"I will Mom" She gave one last smile to her mother and went outside.
She put her last box in the back of the moving van. She sat next to Logan and smiled. He smiled back at her, she knew her future would not be easy. She was going to a new city, had a new boyfriend and all without her mother by her side. However, she knew that she could make it as a sole Gilmore girl and she was ready for her journey to begin.
I know this is not a happy Rory and Lorelai story but I felt the girls needed to grow apart. I felt needed to discover herself away from Lorelai. I want to thank my loyal for sticking with this story.
