23. The Big Announcement

July 17th 2006

Doctors Office

"Mrs. Huntzburger, Mr. Huntzburger I see congratulations are in order?" Dr Marion asks

"Thank you, I'm still a bit scared im not due to finish school until winter and we don't know how far along I am" Rory says

"Well we can do an ultrasound and see what we can find out" Dr. Marion says

"That would be great, I am worried about when I got pregnant because we spent the summer abroad and I drank most of the time" Rory says

"Ok let's see how far along you are" Dr Marion says

~Dr Marion puts the gel on Rory's stomach and moves the paddle around hummin and hawing and typing in a few things~

"Alright so from what I can see and by your last period you would be about 5 weeks 2 days, Due around march 17th and Conception would have been around June 24th. Does that sound about right?" Dr Marion asks

"Yes, that sounds about right, Now about the drinking, would it have any effect on the baby?" Logan asks

"I would say there would be little to no effect at this point as long as you don't drink anymore" Dr Marion says

"I stopped drinking about 3 or 4 weeks ago when I was starting to get a bit sick thinking it was just from to much drinking and then seasickness" Rory says

"Well you should be good then, you stopped drinking very early on. I would like to see you in another 4 weeks for a regular check up" Dr Marion says

"See you in 4 weeks, Oh and we would like it if this was kept strictly doctor patient, We aren't going to tell anyone till the second trimester if possible" Logan says shaking Dr marions hand

"Understandable, I wont say anything to Lorelai or Honor" Dr Marion says with a nod

Logan and Rory's place

"So now we know we have about 3 months after I'm done school to get settled into a place and get ready for bean" Rory says

"Now we just need to discuss what office to work from, Hartford is close to your mom and most of the gang and my dad works from that office but New York is the main office, close to Honor and Colin, away from my parents and the grandparents, still close enough your mom can drive up" Logan says

"I think we should do New York, but I want us to buy our own place not the penthouse the company owns, I don't want certain people thinking they can stop by anytime they want un announced and with a key" Rory says

"Deal, now when do you want to start looking?" Logan asks

"Now" Rory says smiling

"Ok, when we get home get comfy on the couch and I will grab the laptop and we will curl up and find possible locations" Logan says

Logan and Rory found 3 places they liked and they all happened to be around 5th ave near central park, They made appointments to see them that afternoon.

The first place was a 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom 9th floor double unit. It was beautiful but the layout was wrong for a family with small children. The second was a 2 level (7th and 8th floor) 7 bedroom, 8 bathroom apartment but once again wasn't what they were looking for.

The 3rd place was 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom, penthouse suite with a private entrance off the elevator.

They chose the 3rd place because the living space was all on one floor, they had the rooftop terrace and pool and the master bedroom was connected to a bedroom via the masterbath.
