All this time

Part 1

May 2007:

Logan and Rory were in their apartment that they shared with Paris and Doyle, getting ready for bed. Rory had been acting strange all evening and Logan noticed. He thought that she might be nervous about her graduation, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. While Rory was in the shower he checked to make sure that the engagement ring he'd bought was still where he hid it. Obviously it would be, but he was nervous. He was already in bed when Rory got out of the shower. She climbed into bed and he wrapped his arms around her. "Are you ok?" He asked "you seem like something's bothering you".

Rory started crying. "Woah" Logan propped himself up on his elbow "what's going on? What happened?" He had no idea what he said to make her cry like that.

She knew she had to tell him what was going on, but she didn't know how. After a few minutes, she managed to calm herself down and sit up. "I think I'm pregnant" she said quietly.

Logan's eyes went wide "what?". A million things were going through his mind. How could this happen? Is she actually pregnant, or does she just think she might be? What the fuck are we gonna do if she's pregnant? The one thing he knew for sure if that there was no running away from this. If she was pregnant they would figure it out, together. "How is that possible?"

Was he seriously asking that? Was he trying to be funny? This wasn't really the time when Rory wanted Logan to be funny. "Logan..."

"No" he rubbed his hands over his face "I mean, we're so careful"

"I know" she said, starting to cry again. They really were careful. 2 forms of birth control careful.

"Come here" He wrapped his arms right around her and rubbed her back. He honestly had no idea what to do or what to say. He was terrified. He knew he wanted to be with Rory, hell, he was planning on proposing the next night, but he definitely wasn't expecting to have a kid anytime soon. He held her for a while before remembering that her exact words were 'I think I'm pregnant'. She wasn't sure. "Rory" he said softly. He didn't want to upset her, but he did need to know for sure "are you sure that you're pregnant?"

"No, but I'm pretty sure" Rory sniffled and wiped her eyes.

"What does that mean?"

"You know how I haven't been feeling well the last few days?" She asked. She'd been really nauseous all week, but she chalked it up to being stressed about graduation. Logan nodded. "Well, I realized today that my period is late. Like really late. Over a week" usually she'd have noticed that right away, but she'd been so busy that it slipped her mind.

Logan stayed quiet for a moment. "Do you want me to go get you a test?"

She nodded.

"We'll figure it out, ok?" He put his hand on her cheek. "Whatever happens it'll be fine" He kissed her quickly and left.

When he got back, Rory was asleep. She was scared, and stressed, so he decided that the test can wait until the morning. There was no reason to wake her.

Logan found himself struggling to sleep. His mind was too busy, thinking about what they were gonna do if Rory was pregnant. His parents would be pissed. Eventually he fell asleep, but was woken up just a few hours later. 

After fully waking up, Rory and Logan were sitting in their room, Logan was reading the instructions on the pregnancy test for the fifth time.

"Logan, it's really not that complicated"

"I just wanna be sure that we get it right"

"Pee in a cup, dip the stick in it, wait 3 minutes"

It was quiet for a minute before Logan spoke. "You ok?"
