The Aftermath - A Gilmore Girls Revival Fan Fiction

Chapter 46

Later on that afternoon, after lots of sightseeing and a couple shows, my mom and I decided it was time for us to go back to the hotel for some naps.

Logan came out of our private bathroom in his flannel pajama pants and a T-shirt.

I laughed as I looked him up and down, and then just shook my head. "You're killing me, Huntzberger" I teased.

"Oh really? Why's that?" he asked with his eye crinkling smile, taking his shirt off up over his head with his muscles flexing as the skin is revealed, and then he climbed into bed beside me.

I just looked at him amusedly. "You know damn well what you're doing" I said with a laugh.

"What? I don't know what you're talking about.  I'm just trying to lie down and get comfortable" he said with a laugh, laying on his side, facing me.

"You don't have to stay and take a nap with me, you know. You have plenty of non-pregnant people to spend the day with" I assured him.

"Trying to get rid of me, Ace?" he asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

I smiled and shook my head. "No way" I promised.

He pulled me into his arms and kissed me sweetly, his lips so soft on mine. "I love you so much" he whispered in my ear as he pulled away.

"I love you too" I whispered, snuggling into his chest.

"You just get some rest, beautiful. I know you're exhausted" he whispered, kissing my forehead.

I nodded, and it didn't take long. He was running his fingers through my hair soothingly, and his skin was so warm to mine. I felt so comfortable with him, and I fell asleep very quickly.

After a little while later, there was a quiet knock on the door and Finn walked in silently.  He motioned for Logan to follow him into the other room. Seeing as how he knew he wasn't planning to sleep anyway, Logan slowly maneuvered himself out from my arms, and then walked into the common room.

"No wonder Rory always goes on and on about how sexy he is" Paris muttered to Lane eyeballing Logan's features, and Lane just laughed. "Now that's a symmetrical man, right there" she continued.

Logan turned around to look at the girls behind him. "Excuse me?" he asked in amusement, catching only the tail end of the conversation.

"TRUST me, you do NOT want to know" Lane advised.

He laughed and turned to his sister. "How are you holding up with the news, sis. Have you exploded yet?" he teased.

"Not yet, but I'm about to! I want to go SHOPPING! Please let me pick out all of your baby stuff! I miss having little babies. Mine are too old for cutesy stuff anymore, Logan!" she pleaded.

"I'm sure Rory would love to have you go WITH her, and HELP, but as far as picking everything out, I'm leaving that up to her. You know how important this will be to her. Besides, it doesn't do you much good to go shopping until you know whether it's going to be a boy or a girl" he pointed out.

"So what do you want it to be, DAD?" Lane asked curiously.

"Well, of course I want a boy. You know, to carry on the name. But as long as both Rory and the baby are both healthy, I don't really care too much what it will end up being" Logan said.

"Could you imagine if it were a boy!?  Another member of our beloved Brigade" Finn said as if he were already daydreaming about a young Huntzberger boy right then and there.

"Well, it would of course be absolutely necessary, considering it's not very likely that any of the rest of us will fulfill that prophecy as it seems" Robert pointed out.

"I suppose settling in as your child's quirky and eccentric bachelor uncles will just have to suffice" Colin said.

"You know it's not too late to find someone to settle down with, right boys? You'd just have to - well, you know - actually settle down..." Honor said.

They all nodded and shrugged. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see what's in the cards for us" Colin continued.

"So we need a plan. Something epic to end this trip with properly. One can't simply just have a quiet night in while visiting Sin City" Robert said.

"Precisely! We're in need of a celebration! Now let's see, we've had pregnancy... more pregnancy... Ah! And of course, our two lost souls finding their way back to each other after all this time!" Finn recapped.

Honor laughed.  "And what exactly do you propose we do to make our two pregnant mommas comfortable in this town fine town?" she asked with a laugh. 

"I believe I have just the idea.  Fun for all, drinks for those who want them and I think it would be a blast" Logan suggested, looking through the brochures that someone had brought upstairs from the lobby.

"What did you have in mind?  I had originally thought of us all going to an amusement park, but apparently riding those theme park rides while pregnant is a big no go" Robert said. 

"Yeah, not such a good idea for the little ones" Lane said with a laugh.

There's an arcade for adults - well, I mean, kids can come, but they have to be with an adult.  But I've been to one of these before, a few times, and they're a lot of fun!  They've got arcade games, and simulators, and games that give you tickets to earn prizes, all kinds of stuff.  Plus for the alchies over here they've got a few bars and restaurants inside, too" Logan said.

"Certainly seems right up my alley" Finn approved.

"Certainly seems to have something for everyone" Paris said sarcastically with her arms crossed in front of her.

"Are you okay, Paris?" Robert asked her quietly. 

"I'll feel better when I can go home" she said firmly, and walked away from him.

He just sighed and nodded.  He figured it best to just leave her be right now.
