New Beginnings

Family dinners

Logan's POV

We enter the lounge and Lorelai and Chris are already seated. Rory leads us around and we take a seat.

"Mom, Dad I would like to introduce you properly to my boyfriend Logan Huntzberger, these are my parents Christopher Hayden and Lorelai Gilmore-Hayden" she says trying to do the right thing.

"Mr Hayden, Mrs Gilmore-Hayden it's a pleasure to finally meet you officially" I say while shaking their hands.

"Who would like a drink" Lorelai asks

"Vodka martini please mom" Rory asks

"Rory" her dad says

"Dad it's not like I haven't drank before" she says

"It's just one Chris" her mom says

"Logan what would you like to drink?" Lorelai ask me.

"Scotch neat if you don't mind" I ask and I see her Dad glare at me.

"So Logan what are you studying in college?" Her Dad asks me.

"I am majoring in business with a minor in journalism" I say answering his question.

"And how are you planning on using that degree" he continues as Lorelai hands me my drink and Rory hers.

"I will be going into the family business. My dad is the CEO of Huntzberger Publishing Group and I am expected to step up to that in the future" I tell him trying to put him at ease of what my future holds for me.

"So if you have a journalism minor you have to be on the college paper yeah?" He ask

"Yes I am, I write some but not as much as I would like" I say

We finish our drinks and the maid calls to us that dinner is ready. We head into the dining room and I take a seat opposite Rory with her parents on both ends.

"So Logan how was your first year at Yale?" Lorelai asks trying to make polite conversation.

"It was ok, to be honest I haven't been myself for the last 18 months" I say and I look straight at Rory and she has a sad smile on her face.

"Why is that?" Chris asks.

"I think that would have been pretty obvious" I reply, Lorelai nods in understanding but Chris still looks at me confused.

"It was when you sent Rory off to boarding school, that along with her telling me to move on broke me and the fact I would only see her for short amounts of time I couldn't do it to myself. So I shut her and everyone else out, ask my friends if you don't believe me or my father he had to pull me out of a drunken stupor about a week after Rory left. It was then during that time that I realised that I had fallen in love with your daughter even though we had agreed to a casual relationship. Please don't get angry at me or Rory I would prefer to be honest with you then lie and scheme to get you to like me. Your daughter was always more to me then just some other girl I should have known that right from our first kiss at Richard and Emily's Christmas party, it was and has always been electric" I finished and hope to not have her parents ready to attack me verbally or physically.

"Well that's a lot of information to take in" Lorelai said and I continued to eat my dinner in front of me. I took a look at Rory and I can see some tears rolling down her cheek. "Don't cry babe it's all right now we are here and we got through it all" I say to her across the table and Chris just looks at me trying to figure me out but not having much luck.
