"I'm gonna go unpack" Rory said as she and Logan walked into their house
"Hold on" he grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her waist
"Logan" Rory giggled "if I don't unpack now it's never gonna get done"
"Can it wait for me to kiss my wife?" He kissed her
"I guess so"
"Good" he kissed her again "ok, now we can go unpack"
A few minutes later they were in their room unpacking
"Hey, are you doing laundry or am I?" Rory asked from the closet
"I'll do it"
"Wow, I don't think I've ever been this tired" Rory said, walking out of the closet and sitting on the bed next to where Logan was unpacking his stuff
"3 different time zones in as many weeks will do that to you. Why don't you go to sleep?"
"Because it's 3 in the afternoon"
"But your body thinks it's 1am"
"But the San Francisco chronicle does not, and I have to go to work tomorrow"
"Take a couple more days off, we'll keep the honeymoon going"
"I can't" Rory said "and I'm excited to tell you why"
"Color me intrigued"
"I got a call yesterday from our next president, Barack Obama, asking if I would write an article about his win"
"What?! Ace, that's amazing! I'm so proud of you!" He hugged her
"Apparently my pre election piece was so good that when we was asked to sit for an interview to talk about what he's gonna do once he's officially in office he immediately thought of me"
"That's amazing! You're amazing" he kissed her

"Logan, I'm home!" Rory said when she got home from work the next day
"Hey, Ace" he kissed her "how was the interview?"
"It was great! I got a ton of great stuff to use, the article is gonna run the day after tomorrow and it looks like we're the only ones to have gotten an interview with him so far. How was your day?"
"Much less exciting" he chuckled "I had a 3 hour long meeting where we accomplished nothing, and I drank really bad coffee"
"I'm with you on the bad coffee thing" Rory chuckled and sat down across from Logan at the table "what is it with office building having bad coffee?"
"It's like a law of nature or something" Logan said then noticed that Rory was wearing the necklace he gave her after they were married "hey, you're wearing the necklace"
"Of course I am"
"Before I forget, your mom called"
"Did she leave a message?"
"Nope. She just said that she really needed to talk to you"
"I'm gonna call her back" Rory walked over to the phone and called her mom back "hi mom"
"Loin fruit! How was your first day back?"
"It was good, I interviewed Obama"
"She says so casually"
"I've interviewed him before"
"I know. It's still crazy to me"
"Same here"
"Hey I have a really important question for you"
"Shoot"
"You pregnant yet?"
"Mom" Rory groaned
"I want grandkids" Lorelai whined
"Hanging up now" Rory hung up
"She ask if you're pregnant?" Logan chuckled
"Every time I've spoken to her since the wedding"
"I wonder if she wants grandkids" Logan chuckled
"I have no idea" Rory laughed

December 12th 2008
Rory was sitting on the couch, anxiously waiting for Logan to get home from work when the phone rang
"Hello?"
"Ace, it's me"
"Oh, hi. You almost home?"
"Yeah, I just called to ask if you want me to pick up dinner"
"Noodle house?"
"Done. I'll be home in half an hour."
"See you then" Rory said and hung up
Half an hour later Rory was sitting on the stairs, waiting for Logan.
Logan opened the door to see Rory sitting on the stairs staring at him
"What are you doing?" He asked, confused
"Hi" Rory stood up
"Hi. What are you doing?"
"I love you"
"What did you do?"
"Well..." Rory squeaked
A small puppy came running in from the other room
"You didn't"
"They brought them to the chronicle today and were all like 'these poor little puppies all need homes' and I went in there on my break because puppies are cute and this one was following me around and then I bent down to pet her and she licked my face which of you think about it is really gross but also really sweet and I'm sorry and I love you"
"You're something else, Ace" Logan smiled and sent the food on the table by the door before bending down to pet the puppy "does she have a name?"
"You're not mad?"
"Look at this face. How can I be mad?"
"I guess you can't" Rory crouched next to him
"So, does she have a name?"
"Not yet. I thought we'd come up with one together"
"How about Hershey?"
"Because she looks like chocolate?"
"Exactly"
"I love it" Rory smiled "and I love you" she kissed him
"I love you too, Ace"
