Chapter 99 Guess who showed up for the Engagement Party

Rory and Logan arranged for Joshua, Samuel, Jessi, Will, and Chris to stay at the Gilmore-Huntzburger Manor. Karson, Ricky, and Amanda agreed to babysit. Logan was running up the stairs to try to hurry Rory along. "The limo is on the way. They just picked up Honor and her crew. You have 5 minutes at the most." Rory stepped out of the bedroom into the hall. "I don't need 5 minutes." she spread her arms out. "This is good as it gets," She said. "Wow, my beautiful pregnant wife," Logan said as he lightly kissed her on the cheek. He took her hand and led her back into the bedroom. "Logan, you said we had 5 minutes. I know you. 5 minutes is not enough time." Rory said laughing. Logan shook his head. "Working blue, Ace." He said with a smile. "I have something for you." He went into his closet and came out with a blue box with a white box. "Logan, you shouldn't" He gave the box, "Open it. I don't care if you think I shouldn't. I will." Rory opens the box to a beautiful blue sapphire infinity swirl pendant with Diamonds hanging on a 20-inch white gold chain. It matched her dress beautifully.

Logan heard the doorbell while he was putting the necklace on Rory. He kissed her lightly on the lips. "I love you, Ace. You look beautiful. I can't wait to introduce you as my wife. It's the same that you are outshining the bride to be." "Logan, do not let Lana hear you say that." "You go touch up those gorgeous lips I just kissed while I tell our guest you will only be a minute."

Logan came bouncing down the stairs. "Baby brother, you are so brave. You are hosting the slumber party of the year at your house." Honor said with a laugh. "Karson and crew can handle them," Logan said as he kissed her on the cheek, "Besides, there are 2 security guards walking the property all night." Logan smiled at his sister, then turned to Cynthia. "Don't you look great. Dad, I am not sure what you or I did to deserve these beautiful women," he said as he kissed Cynthia's cheek and shook Mitchum's hand. "Always the charmer." Honor said.

Rory had just got to the bottom of the stairs before she was noticed. It was Will that brought the attention to his momma. "Wow, you look like a princess momma. Where is your crown?" "Oh, thank you, you sweet sweet boy. What are you doing upstairs?" Ricky was right behind him. "He wanted to get the new video game out of the playroom," Ricky said. Rory nodded. Logan stopped Ricky before he went upstairs. "Just a reminder, Adam and Fred are walking the grounds tonight. Do you have their cell phone numbers?" Ricky pulled his phone out. "Yeah, Karson and I both have their numbers." Okay, if you need to get in touch with us, call my phone. It will be in my pocket. Rory's will be in her purse." "We have everything under control. This group of kids are good kids. We are going to watch movies, play video games and eat pizza and popcorn. We are all going to camp out in the basement. We have sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets." Rory walked over to them and kissed Ricky on the cheek. "Next weekend you and Karson can go do something fun." Ricky nodded and Logan winked at Ricky. Logan has already offered the house at Martha's Vineyard. They were taking a few couples with them. Logan offered. Ricky did not turn it down.

As Frank turned into the drive of the country club he pulled in line behind the other cars. In the back of the limo, the girls are touching up their make-up, getting ready to exit the car. It wasn't long before Rory and Logan were at the coat check and Rory was dropping off her clutch. She took her lip gloss, compact, and cell phone out and gave it to Logan to put in his jacket pockets. Logan did the manly thing and took them.

When they entered the Rose Room, Christopher and Lana were greeting guests. Logan shook Christopher's hand and kissed Lana on the cheek. Not long after the couples entered the room, the girls were caught talking with some ladies for the DAR. Some of the older ladies just had to tell Rory how sorry they were about Emily passing and they had to touch Rory's stomach. Rory and Honor took turns introducing Cynthia to everyone. They started referring to her as a friend of the family. That way, there were not any questions asked. They would all get the picture when Mitchum gets her out on the dance floor.
