A Year In The Life: a new beginning

Who are you, John Harvey Kellog?

Logan and Rory sat at a table in a cute breakfast joint in the city. He couldn't take his eyes off her because he couldn't believe she was actually there

She groaned "do you know how evil it is to take me here when the place smells like coffee, liquid gold stripped from my vains Huntzberger"

"Decaf is that bad huh?"

"It's like Christmas morning but opening gifts to find empty boxes" she opened the menu

"Can't you have one cup a day?"

"You think just one cup would satisfy me, I have a caffeine addiction. I've been drinking coffee with my mother since age 7, surprised I'm 5'7 I mean it's been a huge aspect of my life"

"So it's a break from coffee, you'll have it again" she frowned "but again is so far away from now" a waitress approached them

"Morning dears, what can I get for you two today?" Her British accent made Rory smile. One of her favorite parts of traveling was hearing different accents and languages

They placed their orders handed her the menu's and she walked away "we have to actually talk" she said

"I agree" he said "you seem to want to go first"

"I do" she said and her face turned serious

"I know you want to be a part of their life and possibly mine. But they come first Logan, you can't be a part time dad"

"I know" he cut in "I wouldn't do that" she looked at him uncertainly "I promise you Ace, I wouldn't do that... come on look at our dads we hate our dads. I don't want my kid to hate me, not have any good memories. I don't want my kid to have to go through what I do"

"Okay" she said

"I'll put in a transfer to New York request and if it gets denied I quit" her eyes widened

"Logan you can't do that"

"I can and I will" he stated simply "come on you know I love to piss off my father, he can't risk losing me so he'll transfer if I threaten and if not. I have offers over there"

"I can't ask you to uproot your life, maybe I can get a job in London"

"I am most definitely not having you uproot yours. Ace you love the states and I'm bored of London... I want to come home"

"This is your decision, not mine" she clarified but her heart felt heavy

"What's next on the list?" He questioned

"List?"

"Come on I know you, either written out or in your head... pro/con come on I know you" she rolled her eyes and looked serious once more

"I think for now we shouldn't attempt a relationship, it could complicate things and make everything worse if we don't workout"

"But what if we do workout, do you know how great that would be for us and our little baby" he said with a soft smile

"I think we should co-parent for now"

"And what someday get in a relationship when our kids older?" She looked even more uncertain then before "Look I know it's been so long since we've been together and I keep screwing up"

"No Logan, it's me" she said softly "I'm the screw up here, I mean your only here talking with me because I'm pregnant with your kid is that not true?"

"That is not true" he said immediately "your my family, you've always been my family. Baby or not if you asked that day at the B&B I would've dropped everything for you"
