A new chapter for Rory and Logan

Mama's back at work/rory's birthday

*Rory adjusts her backpack and takes a deep breath as she walks through the familiar halls of Yale. It's her first day back, and she feels a mix of excitement and nerves. She heads towards the Yale Daily News office, ready to dive back into her passion, but her thoughts keep drifting back to Freddie.*

Rory: (to herself) I hope Logan and Freddie are doing okay. I can't shake this worry.

*Meanwhile, at home, Logan is settling into his new routine as a stay-at-home dad. Freddie is napping in his crib, and Logan sets up his laptop on the kitchen table, ready to tackle his online work.*

Logan: (typing) Alright, Freddie, let's see if we can get some work done while you nap.

*Rory arrives at the Yale Daily News office, greeted by familiar faces and the buzz of activity. She feels a sense of belonging and purpose as she jumps back into her role, but the worry for Freddie lingers.*

Bill: (smiling) Rory! It's great to have you back. We've missed you around here.

Rory: (smiling, but distracted) It's good to be back. I just hope everything is okay at home.

*Back at home, Logan takes a break from his work to check on Freddie, who has just woken up. He picks him up and smiles, feeling grateful for this time he gets to spend with his son.*

Logan: (softly) Hey there, little guy. Ready for some daddy time?

*He sends a quick text to Rory to reassure her.*

Logan's Text: "Freddie's doing great. Don't worry, we've got this. Focus on your day. Love you."

*Rory reads the text and smiles, feeling a bit more at ease as she dives into her work at the Yale Daily News.*

*Rory takes a deep breath and refocuses on her work, feeling a bit more at ease after Logan's reassuring text. She sits down at her desk, ready to tackle the assignments piling up.*

Bill: (handing her a file) Here's the latest story we're working on. Think you can handle it?

Rory: (smiling) Absolutely. Thanks, Bill.

*As Rory dives into her work, she feels a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Meanwhile, back at home, Logan is playing with Freddie, enjoying the precious moments they have together.*

Logan: (laughing) You're getting so big, Freddie! Look at you go!

*Later that evening, Rory returns home, exhausted but happy. She finds Logan and Freddie in the living room, playing with toys.*

Rory: (smiling) Hey, you two. How was your day?

Logan: (grinning) It was great. Freddie and I had a lot of fun, didn't we, buddy?

*Freddie coos, reaching out for Rory. She picks him up and kisses his forehead, feeling a wave of love and gratitude.*

Rory: (softly) I missed you, little guy.

*Logan stands up and wraps his arms around Rory and Freddie, holding them close.*

Logan: (whispering) We're a pretty great team, aren't we?

Rory: (smiling) The best.

*They sit down together, enjoying the warmth and comfort of their little family, feeling grateful for the love and support they share.*

A few days later

*It's 2am in their cozy apartment, and the quiet is broken by Freddie's cries from his bassinet. Logan wakes up and quickly gets out of bed, wanting Rory to get her rest since it's her birthday and she has a busy day ahead.*
