Rory woke to find her body snuggled into his. But before she could even think of criticizing herself she jumped out of bed for her usual routine.

Rushing to the bathroom and shutting the door she let the continents exit her body from last night. As the weeks went on the worse her morning sickness had been getting. The anti-nausea medication was doing the bare minimum

"Ace" she heard him say

But before she could say she was fine she got sick again. She heard the door open and felt her hair being pulled back tied into a bun

"Welcome to my mornings" she said weakly "I owe you a house cleaner" she said as he rubbed her back as she began to get sick again

"It's okay Ace" he said softly and kissed her head and he stood up exiting the bathroom leaving her there for a moment and returned with a glass of water

"Why are you being so sweet, I'm destroying your bathroom" she groaned

"You don't think I've ever been hungover and destroyed this bathroom? I've had to have a special cleaner come in" she chuckled softly and groaned

"I think this is where I die" she said "Just when I think there's nothing left, I'm never eating again"

"That's a stretch, what about breakfast?"

"Nah uh, don't speak about breakfast right now" she said in a whiney tone

"But it's the most important meal of the day. You have two people to feed"

"Ace" she looked at him and covered her mouth

"My breath has to be horrific right now" Rory leaned her head on the toilet seat "this must be a beautiful image to have in your memory"

"I just feel bad because there's not much I can do" he said softly "when Honor was pregnant with my niece Charlotte she had the worst morning sickness, what the duchess Kate has" she continued to stare at him

"Anyways, I'll have to ask her but she had these special ginger snaps that would help her"

"Your sister probably hates me" Rory said honestly

"My sister loves you" he replied "she still talks of you and asks how you are constantly, I swear she knows that we were seeing each other... she knows all"

"You never told her" Rory questioned

"Just the boys, I never knew where we stood and she'd call me an idiot to not go after you" Rory smiled softly

"She's a big Rory Gilmore fan"

"Tell her to buy my book if it ever makes it to shelves" Rory joked "if I ever make it off this bathroom floor, you know I've got like octagon imprints in my knees" he chuckled softly

He slowly helped her up "you good"

"I gotta keep vertical and my head straight" she said

"Good thinking"

"Can you get me my tooth brush" he nodded

"Hey what ever happened to Paul?" He said while he went to grab her bag

"Who?" She said and a couple seconds later

"Oh god please tell me you broke up with him"

"Oh Paul, he broke up with me after I... practically ghosted him for a year" she sighed "I'm a horrible person" she turned to the fosset turning in the water "I am such a terrible terrible person" she started to break down as she brushed her teeth

"You are most definitely not a terrible person" she shook her head as the tears fell

"No I am, Logan look at me I'm fucking 32 and I don't have my life together. So I ruin everyone's around me and just cause so much disappointment" he hugged her from behind sinking his head in her shoulder
