Chapter 47 Beach House

Chapter 47 Beach House

While Logan and Honor are getting Shira settles, Rory is back at the beach house face-timing the twins and Lorelai. She was sitting on the balcony looking out at the ocean enjoying feeling the breeze. This was a change for January in Connecticut. She had on a sundress and sandals. After talking with Lorelai, Rory decided to grab a bottle of wine. She had already checked; the fridge and wine cooler were full. Logan or Honor must have had someone do the shopping.

She was enjoying reading her kindle with her wine glass in her hand. She put the wine glass on the table and stood up. She went to use the bathroom. When she returned to the balcony, she felt like her head was spinning. "No more wine for you," Rory said out loud and put the glass down. This is where Logan found her an hour later, sound asleep. He walked in the door calling her. When she didn't answer he checked the house finally finding her on the balcony asleep stretched out on a beach chair. He kneeled beside her and kissed her on the cheek. "Ace, baby, time to get up. I know we didn't get a lot of sleep last night, but we have reservations." Rory woke up. Looked around getting her bearings. Sat up and before she could acknowledge Logan, jumped up to go to the bathroom. Logan followed, "Ace, what's wrong?" He heard her before he got to the bathroom. She was throwing up. He went in there and held her hair. She was sitting on the floor. When she finally stopped throwing up, she was too weak to get up. Logan went to get her a bottle of water. She drank it then Logan helped her up. She stopped at the sink to brush her teeth. She could hardly stand up. Logan had to help her. Helped her lay down on the bed. It wasn't very long before she was asleep again.

Logan went to the balcony to clean up. When he got there, he saw the bottle of wine was half gone. No wonder she isn't feeling good. I bet she hasn't eaten anything since breakfast. Logan thought. He grabbed her kindle, the glass, and the bottle and headed to the kitchen. It wasn't long before Honor came in.

"Hey, little brother. I texted you before I got here. I know you are on your honeymoon. Wanted to give you and your bride time to get dressed." Honor said as she entered the house and saw Logan in the kitchen. "Yeah, we are dressed. Ace is laying down. She doesn't feel well." "Wore her out I, see?" Honor said with a wink. Logan laugh "Yeah, she was asleep when I got here." "Oh, Okay, what time is the reservation, and where are we going," Logan told Honor that if Rory didn't feel any better then they would be eating in. "What's wrong with her?" Honor asked. Logan shook his head. "I'm not sure, but she was asleep on the balcony with half a bottle of wine gone. Maybe she hasn't eaten anything" Honor was headed upstairs to check on her. When she got to the room, Rory was again in the bathroom throwing up. "Rory, you okay in there?" Honor asked. "Be out in a minute" Rory said barely above a whisper. Honor went to the door and saw Rory getting up off the bathroom floor. Rory washed her mouth out and brushed her teeth.

"I'm okay," Rory said as she sat back down on the bed. "Is Logan downstairs? How is Shira? I didn't get a chance to asked Logan?" Honor walked out to the balcony, "Shira will be fine. I'm going back in the morning. We were advised not to come back today. Logan can tell you all about it. Do you think you are up for dinner out?" Rory smiled, "sure. Let's go bug Logan until he tells us where we have reservations.

Honor, Logan, and Rory got in the red mustang convertible that Honor rented to use while she was in Malibu. "Wow Honor, love this car," Rory said. "Yeah, sis. This is fabulous." "Well while in Malibu, I needed to feel like I was a Californian." They all laughed as Logan sped down the highway in Honor's rental car.

When they got to the restaurant, Logan gave the valet the keys and a $20 tip. Honor and Rory had already entered the restaurant. The hostess was looking up the reservation when Logan enters. His face lit up. "Sir, I will be with you momentarily" Logan grabbed Rory's hand "I'm with them, we have a reservation under Huntzburger. We would like a table on the deck if that were possible." Logan said as he stepped closer to the hostess stand. "Yes sir, right this way". The three of them followed the hostess to the deck. It was beautiful. There was a small breeze, and you could smell the ocean. "Why don't we live out here?" Rory asked. "Well Ace, it can be arranged, but I'm not sure that your mom and Luke would move, and I just can't see you living in California and Lorelai living in Stars Hollow" "Yeah, I know." "But if you would like, I will look into a summer house for us and the boys to vacation in?" "We will talk about it later. The boys will be in Florida most of the summer. I usually fly back and forth," Rory told Logan.

The three of them enjoyed their meal and dessert. When they got back to the house, Rory went upstairs to get dressed for bed. Honor and Logan sat down at the kitchen bar to talk about Shira. "What time will you and Rory leave tomorrow?" Honor asked. "I will call Jeffery an hour before we leave. I am hoping to be in the air by 10:00, but I'm not going to rush Ace. We have two weeks together. The only thing that is set in stone is when to meet Lorelai and Luke with the boys." "Baby brother, I was wondering if I could get Lorelai and Luke to bring the boys to me?" "I'm sure that will not be a problem. They are borrowing the Hayden Jet. You have Lorelai's number, call her. I'm sure it will be fine. You and the boys can come to Disneyland with us." "Okay, I'll call Lorelai tomorrow. I won't say anything to the boys until right before they leave." Honor said.

Logan got up, kissed her on the cheek. "Will we see you tomorrow before we leave.?" "Yes, I am not going to see mom until after lunch.
