Time After Time

Chapter 2 - Coming Home

Hello, hello. I just want to say, yes this is short as hell, but i wanted to get it out there. My sister in the hospital so I don't know how much time I will have to write and edit. But I am by no means leaving this story alone, and still intend on posting at lest once a week.

thank you to everyone reading. I hope you are enjoying it. Please let me know what you think, good or bad.

Chapter 2 – Coming Home

Know I'll never find it on my own
'Cause this life ain't leading nowhere I can go
I'm standing still with nothing in my way
Letting me go so I can find myself again

I need that
Ground beneath my feet to feel that
Ground beneath my feet
I need that
Ground beneath my feet to feel that
Ground beneath my feet
I need that

Rory thought she could feel the ground beneath her feet literally shift after she said those last two words. "I'm pregnant." It felt so odd to hear the words coming out of her mouth, and even more odd was the look on her mothers face after the words have left her mouth.

"I'm sorry I thought I heard you say you were pregnant."

"Are you seriously going to make me say it again?"

Lorelei continued talking over her, "Maybe you said schmegnant, but why would you say schmegnant, I mean that's not even a word, but you wouldn't have said.. that word. I mean that you, my dear only child would be pregnant, and single, and unemployed, and, and.. me.. you're me.. and OMG is it the Wookie's?"

"MOM!"

"It's not a crazy question my child. I mean it was Wookie right? I didn't get my euphemisms mixed up did I?"

"Mom, breathe!"

Lorelei let out a breath that was long overdue. She looked at her daughter, "Logan?" she said after seeing the sad look on her face.

I know if I can find my own way back
There's a life I always knew but never had
I'm tired of fighting things that I can't change
Letting me go so I can finally find my place

Rory stood up and walked down the steps of the gazebo. "It doesn't matter mom. I talked to dad and I don't need the father involved. I can do this on my own."

"I'm sorry did you say you talked to Chris? You told your dad first?! And why in god's name would you talk to Christopher about anything having to do with having a child?"

"I asked him if he thought you did the right thing, raising me on your own. He basically said yes."

Lorelei saw the hurt look in her beautiful daughter's eyes concerning Chris's response. Damn him. "I'm sorry kiddo. But you're not me and Logan isn't Chris."

"I never said it was Logan's."

"Look, I may not have agreed with all of your choices this past year kid, but I know that you never meant to hurt anyone and your relationship, no matter how misguided, was not something you took as lightly as you pretended."

Rory gave her mom a raised eyebrow.

"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? I invented that babe." Rory raised a sarcastic eye to her mom, who laughed. "That came out wrong. Ok, we don't have to figure this all out right now. What do you say we stop by Al's and get some tacos and go home and curl up on the couch and watch some Lifetime. OH I have this good one on the DVR called Remember Sunday."

Rory scrunched up her nose, "I heard that was horrible."

"It's basically 50 First Dates, but reversed. C'mon..." she whined.

"Ok, but only if we can get ice cream too."

I need that home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
'Cause this life that I've been living ain't my own
Home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
'Cause I'm tired of being out here on my own
I'm coming home, oh yeah yeah yeah
I'm coming home, oh yeah
And all of this time I've been living it up
And all I've got left is rubble and dust
Oh oh, I'm coming home
