Gilmore Girls - A year in the Life - Continuation

Part 45

Once Mitchum got off the phone with Shira he wanted to let Honor and Logan in on the family secret before Shira told them herself, it just so happened that Honor was with Logan when Mitchum called so they all met at the penthouse.

"So I wanted to you and honor to hear this from me before your mom twisted it all around, We have a bit of a family secret" Mitchum said

"Dad please tell me that your not going to say we aren't yours?" Logan said

"No you are both mine, I made sure of that at birth" Mitchum said

"Well then what is it?" Honor asked

"Honor your not your mother's first child, you're her second and we did get married before she got pregnant with you, she was actually pregnant with your older sister Elsa. It wasn't until Elsa got sick that I found out she wasn't mine, your mother had lied to me about being with someone else and I would have left her but she was pregnant with you, I stayed because my dad said I would tarnish the family name if I left my pregnant wife. Elsa passed away the very day I found out she wasn't mine, She was only 3 months old" Mitchum said

"How did she die? Who was her actual father" Logan asked

"She died from complications of a genetic disorder she had, She stopped breathing and her dad was the vary man your mom was having an affair with on and off threw our whole marriage" Mitchum said

"Is that why mom was saying finley wasn't my baby?"

"I think so, I think she figured Rory was doing what she had done"

"Did you believe Rory?" Logan asked

"Yes, I knew you loved each other truly and I didn't see Rory being able to lie to you about something like that, she wasn't in it for the money or the name" Mitchum said

"So mother latched onto you knowing the baby wasn't yours?" Honor asked

"She thought the baby was mine but had also slept with another man so she was hoping I would never find out" Mitchum said

"you kept this from us our whole life's why?" Honor asked

"I didn't want you to think I didn't want you and I couldn't trust her with you on her own" Mitchum said

"So you stayed with her to make sure we where ok?" Honor said

"Yes and at one point I thought I truly did love her and that's how Logan came about" Mitchum said

"Wow, You really did sacrifice a lot for us without us even realizing" Logan said

"Yes but I would gladly do it again I would have just been there for you two more" Mitchum said

26 day's pass April 28th

Logan wakes up to find Rory already awake and in the office printing off something.

"Morning Ace, What are you up to so early?" he said

"I just thought I would give you some weekend work, I have the first 3 chapters of what I hope is my next book and I would like you to look them over and tell me what you think honestly before I submit them to jess for a book proposal" she said

"Ok, What is the book about?" he asked

"More about Me, more about the adult years and us" she said

"I cant wait too read the whole book." he said

"There is even some about our friendship's threw the year's and how they have changed, I have about 14 chapters done but I have to get them into order" she said

"If you need help let me know I'm sure I would be able to help figure it out" he said

"I will probably need your help and I was thinking now that Lore is 12 weeks I want to come back to work to help you and even write my book more" she said

"That's a good idea, I can also help you with Lore at work and Finley would be in the childcare until he wanted to come up if he wanted to that is" He said

"I was thinking that also, So we are coming back on Monday morning" she said

"That will be a great surprise, Everyone has been asking about when you and Lore where coming in and if you where going to come back to work" he said

The next morning April 29th

"Ace, come here for a min" He called

"Yes dear" She said

"Here's your first 3 chapters with note's" he said

"Seriously that fast?" she said

"Yes I read it all twice and wrote notes" he said

"did you do any work?" she said

"Yes, I did I took breaks and would read a chapter" he said

"Super dad he can do anything in the leap of a bound.." she said with a giggle

"I love it, Including the part about the LDB, Thank you for not using names or the actual secret society name" he said

"Well I wouldn't want anyone to get arrested for things that have been done in the past and I don't think the rest of the group would be happy with me if I put it all in a book" she said

"I also loved that you didn't put every dirty detail in the book" he said

"Well I couldn't do anything that would make anyone look bad or anything to make the family be ashamed, Plus our kids may one day read this" she said

"Ya they don't need every dirty detail either, and they cant read it till they are in college" he said

"Ya we don't need them doing what we did until they are over 18, after that we have no control what they find out because the boys will teach them" she said

"Yes, The boy's. Not me at all" he said

"We will also" she said

"Of course, It's our job as parents to teach them how to live everyday to the fullest" He said proudly
