A tale of love, Logan and Rory

Untitled Part 43

Chapter 43

6 Weeks later.

It was the last week in July, July 29. Finley is doing much better, the doctors said they might even get her home this week. Rory and Logan have a good system down that one of them is always with either one of their kids. Today however since they were meeting with the doctor, Uncle Colin and Uncle Robert have baby Richard duty. They are going to be relieved by grandma Lorelai and grandpa Luke, this afternoon.

The Dane's house in Stars Hollow.

"Lorelai! Are you almost ready we have to be at Rory and Logan's soon to relieve Colin and Robert! I don't want to have to rush, you'll look beautiful in whatever you put on." Luke said from the bottom of the stairs.

"Easy for you to say! You're not carrying this baby!! All your clothes still fit the same!! You don't have to try to hide what little bump you do have because we can't tell our family until our granddaughter is out of the hospital!!!" Lorelai screamed from her closet.

Lorelai was 12 weeks pregnant. They had planned to tell the family that Sunday, but then everything happened with Finley and it never felt like the right time. She was ecstatic with her granddaughter's progress, but also very happy she would be home soon, so Lorelai could spill the beans. It sucks being pregnant in the summer, sucks even more trying to hide it and being extra hot.

"Lorelai, you're beautiful, you're housing our child. Which is why, I went to the mall." Luke said holding a bag behind his back.

"You, Luke Danes, went to the MALL??!!" Lorelai raised her eyebrow at him.

"Yes, I Luke Danes went to the mall." Luke said smirking at her.

"By yourself? All by yourself?" Lorelai said with sarcasm in her tone. She knew he would never go by himself.

"No of course not by myself. I took April with me. She raided your closest and guessed at what size we should get so you could be comfortable." Luke smiled at his glowing wife.

"You told April?!? I haven't told Rory yet. She is going to be so mad!!" Lorelai burst into tears.

"April said she will act just as surprised when you tell Rory and play it off like she doesn't know. She's got a huge soft spot for you." Luke wrapped his arms around his hysterical wife.

Lorelai pulled out a beautiful black maxi dress, with enough pleats in it that it will hide and mask her growing bump.

"It's beautiful." Lorelai quickly threw it on and a pair of black bedazzled sandals and they were on their way to Rory's house.

At the hospital.

Logan and Rory were at the hospital, trying to convince the doctors to let them take their baby home. Logan had already set up home health nurses and all the equipment one would possibly need. He also hired some of the NICU nurses they liked to come do private duty for a few weeks.

"Dr. Blake, I've had everything covered. The only person that won't be there is you. Which if you just name your price for house calls we will pay it!" Logan said as he was holding his daughter

"I suppose we could work it out and she can go home today." Dr. Blake said begrudgingly

Rory flew out of her seat and threw her arms around the Dr.

"Thank you thank you thank you!!!" Rory screeched.

"She will need to come back in two weeks, for a check up and then two weeks after that before I completely clear her." Dr. Blake said.

"Absolutely you got it Doc!" Rory said with the biggest smile on her face.

The doctor left the happy parents. Rory went to reach for Finley from Logan.

"Hey Ace why don't I finish feeding her and get her dressed and you go get the car and make the phone calls." Logan said holding tightly to his baby girl.

"Ok! I'll call my mom first!" She said skipping out of the room.

Logan pulled out his phone and dialed the number.

"Yes, it is for sure happening today. I just sent Rory to get the car." Logan said into the phone.

He paused and listened to the person he called.

"Yep, that should work out perfectly. This is going to be a hell of a homecoming present, especially after this whole summer. I'll see you guys in a little bit. Yes, yes I have the right outfit, and the perfect diversion." Logan laughed at the caller on the other end as he hung up.

He looked down at his daughter, who must be super gassy or just really excited because she was smiling ear to ear at him.

"Alright little girl, let's get you burped and into your party outfit." Logan smiled as he kissed his daughter on the forehead.
