Chapter 71 Pop-Tarts and Juice

Logan and Rory were laying in bed Sunday night tired from celebrating the newest addition to the Huntzburger family. "Have you thought of any names?" Logan asked. "Don't you think that is something we should discuss?" Rory asked. Logan sat up in bed and turned on the bedside light. "Ace, I think that the name of a child should be discussed and agreed upon with both parents." Rory nodded her head as she bit her bottom lip. "But, if I know you the way I think I know you, you already have the names picked out," Logan said with a smirk on his face. "Come here," Logan said as he gathered her in his arms. She laid her head on his chest. "I have thought about it." She spoke. "Well, don't keep me in suspense. Is Lorelai her first name or her middle name?" Logan asked. Rory just grinned at him. "How about I tell you the two names I like, and you can decide which is first and which is middle." Logan nodded. "Lorelai, which you already know. Emily." Rory looked at Logan. Logan was thinking. "I think I like Emily Lorelai Huntzburger. We can call her "Lee or Em '' Logan said. "I like Em, '' Rory said. Then it is settled. Emily ''Em" Lorelai Huntzburger." Logan said. "But let's not tell anyone until she is born. I might look at her and change my mind." Rory said. Logan turned out the light and settled down to go to sleep. Just as Rory was closing her eyes, she heard Logan whisper "A girl. I am going to be the daddy of a girl" This made Rory smile.

Monday morning Karson, Ricky, and Logan were trying to get the twins ready for school. Mondays are always harder than the rest of the week, but this morning was extra hard. Rory had been up since 5:30 throwing up. Rory usually got up and threw up on the way to the show. That is what happens most mornings. Occasionally, it would be so bad she could not leave the floor of the bathroom. This was one of those mornings. When it was time to get the boys up, Logan stopped by their room and woke them up. After he was sure they were awake, he went down to Karson's room to get her up to help because Rory was still in the bed.

When he got to the kitchen to fix cereal for the twins, Ricky was already there. He was making a pot of coffee. "Rory is sick this morning. I'm going to help Karson get the boys ready for school so I will be going in later than usual. Karson entered the kitchen, walking straight for the coffee pot. After she drank her 1st cup, she looked around. "Where are Will and Chris?" Logan and Ricky both looked around like that is the first time they realized the twins were not eating. "I woke them up, '' Logan said. Karon shook her head and went upstairs. She came down about 10 minutes later with both boys in tow. "Grab a pop tart and juice. We are late. Let's go Let's go" Karson said. "March 1,2,3, 1,2,2." "But I want mommy, '' Will said. "I want mama to take us to school" Whined Chris. "Hey guys, your mom is sick this morning. If you grab breakfast like Karson asked and get in the car, when I get home tonight, we can play my video game. How does that sound?" Ricky asked. Both boys perked up, grabbed their juice and pop tart, and headed to the door. "Can we play Mario Kart?" Will asked and he was headed to the car. Ricky told him yeah.

After they left, Logan went back upstairs to check on Rory. She was in bed. She told him she was fine with him going to work. She would get up when she felt better. Logan kissed her and told her to call him if she needed anything. When he got back downstairs, he called Karson. "Hey, are you going to be able to stay at home today until Rory gets to feeling better, or would rather I call Lorelai?" Logan asked. "I just dropped the boys off. I will be home in 10 minutes." "Okay, we will wait for you."

At the end of the day, Rory was feeling better. She and Logan talked several times during the day. Ricky and the boys were playing video games. He got home about 30 minutes before Logan. When the boys got home, they were very clingy to Rory. She didn't know if it was because they didn't see her this morning or if it has to do with the baby now being real.

When Logan arrived home, he checked on Rory and went straight to the office. He was on the phone with Christopher and Nick. The FBI wants to talk with Rory and Ricky. Christopher told Logan that Rory was not to meet with the FBI without him being there as her lawyer. Nick suggested that Logan get a lawyer for Ricky also. Logan told him that he would get Josh to meet with Ricky and the FBI. Logan told Nick to set the meeting up, but it had to be in Hartford. They were not going back to Jacksonville unless there were federal papers to tell them too. They talked for a few more minutes. Just as he was hanging up, Rory walked in.

She smiled at him, and he pushed his chair back for her to sit in his lap. "I just got off the phone with Nick and your dad," Logan said as he was playing with her hair. Rory leaned back and looked at him. "What's going on?" she asked. "Nick called today. The FBI wants to talk with you and Ricky. Your dad will be there as well as Josh will be there to represent Ricky." "What do you think they want to Know?" Logan hesitated. "It seems they have proof that the wreck was no accident." Rory looked at him. "I was in Hawaii on my honeymoon and Ricky was in California, what could they have asked us?" "I'm not sure, but Nick is making the appointment here in Hartford. Your dad said to let him know. I will be there too if you like" Logan said. "We will see," Rory said as she got up. "Let's go talk to Ricky."
