The Circle of Life: Rory & Logan Journey

Old Boyfriend

Hold my tiny visible baby bump as I about to get going to food shopping. Wondering how fast went after I found out I'm pregnant with Logan's baby. 15 weeks already huh?! Snap back into the reality from my deep thoughts as I walked into Doose's to do an quick errand to help my mom out before leaving for NYC for a few days as part of beginning of Gilmore Girls book tour. I'm pretty excited to share my journey with people who are interested to read the book. As I entered the Doose's, I wave at Taylor as he smiled me back. I'm bringing the short list of foods to buy at the store, I'm going to looking for Cornstarch as I rubs my baby belly.

"Rory?" A familiar voice said as I turned to look. Shocked! There is my ex-boyfriend, Dean!

I muttered as I said in low tone: "Hi Dean..."

He smiled and notices my baby belly. He started to say: "Are you pregnant?! The belly tells it all."

I'm trying to figure out why he didn't know. I mean this is a small town, I'm pretty sure that someone will tell Dean. But he's seems shocked. I mean in good one, pretty surprisingly as I would say. I responded: "Pretty sure I am. Cannot wait to hold him into my arms."

Dean wise his eyes as he said: "It's a boy?"

Shit! I haven't find out the gender yet. Maybe the baby is a boy as my guts are telling me. I simply replied: "Huh no. My bad. My mistake. It's early to find out. We haven't find out yet. Baby daddy and everyone in my family are rooting for a girl. We will find out in five weeks."

Dean was pretty surprised to learn about those going on with the life of mine as he questioned me: "When's the baby's due? My wife are going to give birth to our fourth anytime soon. Oh hadn't I met the baby daddy before?" As I could tell he's dying curious to find out who is the father of our baby. Baby Huntzberger.

I chuckled as I analyzed his reaction and thoughts as I answered: "Baby Huntzberger's daddy is Logan. The blond one I dated back then during Yale years. We're thrilled to become parents and cannot wait to meet our baby!" As I pointed to my baby belly.

He chuckled and said: "Totally understood. We have been there before with our first daughter, Ember. But when we're having baby after Ember, it adds more anxious and excited at same time. It's worth all excitement and journey of pregnancy."

I smiled as I cannot wait to have Logan with me next week to help me out with baby shopping a bit. "Yes I'm pretty sure. I love the name, Ember. What are other children's names?" As I questioned him.

He smiled and responded: "Ember Jean, Dexter Cole, Mason Dash and baby Briar Lee is on her way!" As he added: "What are names in your thoughts?"

Thank god that none of those names are on our list as I responded:"Those names are pretty. We're thinking about to have Joy as middle name for baby girl and if it's a boy, we're going to name him Liam but still not sure about middle name yet."

He smiled as said: "Excellent name choices! I'm pretty sure that you both will settled into parenthood very well. Congratulations on the baby on the way. I'm going now."

I smiled as I replied: "You rocks fatherhood excellent. Thanks for congratulations. Good to see you again."

He smiled as he wave me goodbye and left.

As soon as I bought all foods from the grocery to buy list, I bumped into Lane just right outside Doose's.

Lane shrieking and screaming for my name to get my attention across the street: "Rooorrrrryyyyy!!!!!"

As I turned to look and chuckled at her excitement as I shouted back: "Laneyyyyy!!!" As I walked to hug her across the street.

Lane dropped her jaw dramatically as I perplexed as she begun to explain: "Hot momma alert. Your bump got big and bigger by each time I got to see you. How's my little niece doing in your womb?"

I chuckled at typical Lane Van Gerbil as I responded: "The gender is unknown. Baby Huntzberger is doing very good, actually the baby is also treating me well so far." As I rubs my hand on my baby bump.

Lane softly smiled as she gushed: "I'm really excited for you! Next year is the year for us. Stars Hollow is gonna to have another intelligent human being around the town."

I blushed as I chuckled and simply responded: "Yeah I know. I'm thrilled about it too. Many people cannot stop talking about baby Huntzberger. I'm pretty sure that the baby is already spoil rotten. So... How are you doing so far?" I quickly changed the subject because I'm tired of seeing people who I love gave all attention to my baby and myself. I want them to still remember that I'm really care about them no matter what is going on with the life of mine lately.

Lane smiled and replied: "I'm doing good. Steve, Kwan and I misses Zach so much. We cannot wait to have him back with us next week from the tour of his newly music recording. Speaking of spouse, how are things between Logan and you?"

I got tended up after heard Logan's name. Hell sure I do miss him a lot. After found out that I'm expecting a baby with Logan bring me closer to him no matter which continent he's in right now. "Huh... Logan and I are still being good friends. I'm guessing that we would rather taking relationship slowly for our baby's sake. But I do misses him like crazy. I cannot wait having him with for a week next week for baby's ultrasound appointment."

Lane made an empathetic face as she understood how I'm feeling right now: "Totally understood. It's hell hard when having him in other country and especially time zone."

I nods. As we're continuing with our ongoing conversations.

Until we heard children screaming loudly as we turned to see Dean is struggling to carrying a cry baby on his hip while other two children are running around wild. Lane gave me a look as I nods to reassure her it's okay to confront him. As we walked towards him.

"Sounds like you need a hand?" I says as I'm hoping that I would getting an extra chance to get practice with baby.

Dean looked up and smiled: "Sure you have Mase, I'm going to discipline Ember and Dexter." As him handed a chubby baby over to me as I'm trying to hold him comfortably on my hip.

"Hi Mason! You'll be fine." As I tried to calm him down by bouncing him back and forth. He suddenly calmed and starting to sleep on my left shoulder. I gasped by how I handled a baby like pro not as I used to back then.

Dean got back with Ember and Dexter, I mouthed and smiled at him to look how calmly Mason is.

Dean looks so surprisingly as he joked: "Can you adopt baby Mason? He is used to being a grumpy baby. He is not the real Mason!"

I chuckled as I replied: "I'm glad that I knew how to handle a cry baby. I'm going now." As I have Mason to Dean as he thanked and we left after met Dean and the kids.

Lane turned to look at me: "Wow you're going to be an excellent mother."

I smiled at Lane as I wondered how will my life change after having baby Huntzberger.
