Cont Flashback/Prologue-This should be the last of the flashback.

Chapter 6 December 5, 2016

After much back and forth, between Paris and Colin they had an agreement.

All parties will sign an NDA. The fewer people that knew about this, the better it would be. Logan wanted to include Honor, so he would have someone on this side of the pond, but mostly because he needed her to know. Rory agreed as long as she could resist spending money on the child.

The irony of the situation was not lost on Rory or Logan. She has an appointment today to see Paris. She will be able to hear the heartbeat. She is 10 weeks today. They would be signing the paperwork today to relinquish his rights to the baby.

Rory was cleaning herself up after the ultrasound. "Paris, I am 10 weeks today. How long do you suggest I wait to start telling everyone?" Rory asked.

"I suggest your second trimester." Paris said as she looked at a calendar. "Huh, January 2 should start your second trimester, but I think it will be okay to tell at Christmas. You may get less questions asked. Rory agreed.

The two left together. They are meeting Logan at Colin's office. After talking with Odette, she agreed to cover for him. Finn went to London and flew Logan back on his jet. Logan told everyone that he and Odette were going to view some summer homes in Scotland.

December 22, 2016 Hayden Manor, Hartford Ct.

Rory entered the Manor. She was exchanging gifts with her dad, Jennifer and Gigi. They were having lunch, then she was flying to Nantucket to spend Christmas with Emily, Lorelai and Luke. She was hoping April would be there also. She works in Atlanta at the CDC.

"Rory," Jennifer said as she opened the door to her step-daughter. "Come in, Come in. It is cold out there."

Rory entered, shaking off the snow on her boots before stepping inside. She was wearing a loose Christmas sweater dress, although she didn't have a baby bump, she still wanted to wear something loose until she told everyone.

They enjoyed a nice lunch before opening presents. After the presents were opened, Jennifer was cleaning up the wrapping paper, Christopher and Gigi were trying to set up her new beats with her iphone, when Rory got their attention.

"Hey," Rory said. "I have another present for each of you." Each of them sat down. "I need y'all to open them at the same time. I will answer as many questions as I can after you open."

Christopher looked at her. He had a feeling, but wasn't sure what it meant. He knew his daughter pretty well. It took him several years to get to know her again, but he felt like he knew her. Gigi was excited because she loves getting gifts.

Rory handed the gift bags to each person, "Okay, Open!' She said, She was watching each one as they opened the present. They all pulled out tee-shirts.

"Oh, Rory," Jennifer said. "You shouldn't have, the tea service you gave me was plenty."

Chris pulled his shirt out of the bag. He had a confused look on his face until he heard Gigi squeal.

"Rory, really," I am going to be an Aunt?" Gigi asked. "When" She was already putting on her tee shirt over her sweater. It said, 'Aunt Gigi',

Chris and Jennifer both turned their shirts around. Grampa and Gramma was written on the front of their shirts. "You can choose different names if you want. I just always thought you would be called Grampa, cause Luke will be Grumpa." Rory said laughing. She was trying to judge their reaction.
