Logans Destiny 2

Disclaimer: Bad language included I don't know if that means this should be M or MA either way you've been warned. Also the chapter tends to jump around a bit, remember the thoughts here-in are coming from someone who just lost ¾ of his family and the woman that loves him.

Chapter 2

Logan realizes he did the proposal thing without fully explaining the details to Rory, now however true his tales of love are she has every right to know what she's getting into.

"Ace sit down with me ok?" He asks and moves her to the living room so they can sit on the couch.

"I have to tell you some details about my family's will."

"Logan I don't need to know anything about that its to new."

"It affects you I think you have every right to know." He kisses her temple and then goes on to explain the details.

He tells her that when his parents and grandfather died he became the heir instead of it always being a threat its now the fact. Honor was given about $150 million the boats, cars and mom's jewelry, she also inherited the Hartford mansion with no strings. His inheritance was much larger, $180 million flat out, his trust fund still not active until he's 29, but he's now also the CEO and owner of Huntzberger Media Group. That company is now worth another $800 million or so worldwide. He has a penthouse in NYC, a home in Italy and a villa in Hawaii. Logan's inheritance though came with a stipulation. He had to marry a proper woman within 6months of his parents death or the company would be disbanded and sold.

Rory gets a little aggravated by the timing of his proposal and Logan see's that but doesn't do what most would expect, being to coddle her and re-assure her softly. Something inside him isn't functioning quite that way.

"IF you really think I asked you to marry me strictly for that reason – 

leave the ring on the dresser and leave."

Logan's comment shocks her.

"Ace I love you, can't deny that even if I wanted to. I was going to ask you – I bought the ring two days after I arrived in London and a whole month before I heard of the accident. I can't and won't sit here and defend myself. I love you but I have obligations now so the timing sucks. I could pick any one of the society bimbets on the market if all I wanted was a society marriage. I don't want that. That's why I asked you."

"You said you have obligations what are they?" Rory is over her slight tantrum now.

"Well I'm now owner and CEO of a multi million dollar media conglomerate. I can't run it all by myself. I don't want to become my father who is – was never home." Logan catches himself still referring to his dad like he's alive just absent. "I would like it if you stood by me with business as well as our personal life. I want to walk into the board meetings as a team, Mr. & Mrs. Huntzberger. You handle half the stuff I handle the other half."

Rory of course doesn't believe him. "Are you serious?"

"Yes I am. A marriage is a partnership right? Well that works in all 

regards as far as I'm concerned."

"No Logan, its your destiny I'm not qualified."

"Excuse me, where did I get my undergraduate degree?"

"Yale."

"And where are you currently attending school?"

"Yale"

"And what was my major?"

"Journalism."

"And what is your major?"

"Journalism." She admitted.

"So correct me if I am wrong Ms. Gilmore but we attended the same university, same classes and graduated with the same degree. How am I further qualified?"

"Logan your last name is Huntzberger." Rory states like that is enough of a reason for her to now believe she can help him at the paper. Logan takes her in his arms and kisses her softly, smiling, "Yours will be too after you say I Do."

"Logan!" She says exasperated that he's not seeing her point.

Logan states rather matter of fact, "Ok I'm going to be an ass & you may not want anything to do with me after this but please hear me out."

"Ok."

"Ace I love you. Nothing is going to change that. In some way, shape or form I will love you with my dying breathe. You taught me how to love, for that you will always have a place in my heart. That being said, I'm going to get very greedy. I don't know if it's because of what has happened, how drastically my future has hit me upside the head or just that I'm not liking that my proposal has been met with such a discussion, after all I was thinking you'd say yes and we'd make love all night not talk about everything to death. Either way here we go. When we started dating it was only about us. You and I, and how we felt about one another right at that moment. Somehow when my parents rejected you it became about us and a Fuck you to my parents. Rory this destiny- you have no idea what it feels like. Rightfully so, you're mom hid you away from your destiny but don't think you don't have one. You are society as much as you don't want to admit it. Richard and Emily have named you their Heir, they know your mom would never take on that role but you, you've always shown a little less dislike for it so you are the Gilmore heir. I know this because it's well known in the circle. I'd say within the next year or so you'll also hear about the Haden dynasty coming your way. That's in law by the way, your dad failed to go to Princeton and get his degree so they are not giving the power to him its going to you. In society it's understood that the heir apparent takes over at the age of 25 unless they are still in school getting a graduate degree in something. For most society kids, we know from the time we are 10yrs old what our future is. I was brought on board at the age of seven. I had shares in the company at that point. Mind you Mitchum still had the voting rights but I went to board meetings from that age. This company is mine now, ours as soon as you say I do and I hope at some point to have a kid to pass it on to. Since that child will be ours – in a perfect world – I would home we would raise him/her to enjoy the family business not hate it." Logan stops and looks at Rory to see what her reaction is.

"How does this equal you being greedy?"

"I know what I want and need in a wife. She has to be strong, know journalism enough to do her thing but assist me at the paper. She has to enjoy everything from jumping off scaffolding to hanging at the pub with friends to staying home together watching movies. She has to have enough strength of character to accept the society criticism, and also to believe in her husband 100 when things get ugly." Logan stops and takes a breath and then says the part that he figures she'll have problems with, "She also has to be willing to keep me entertained in bed. I've had a lot of sex and for me to give up multiple partners forever; my wife has to be more than willing to give me quality and quantity in our sexual excursions. I told you before I don't want a society wife; I don't want the proper woman who stays home while I find my entertainment elsewhere. I want a real wife who'll be in society with me but she IS my entertainment so I won't need to look for it elsewhere." He finishes and looks up to her daringly.

"You did not just demand sex from your would be wife."

"Basically, yes I did. Ace I like sex. I'm not going to attempt to hide or change that because if I got married to a woman and a she believed sex once every other week would be ok, it would be a nightmare marriage & I'd constantly be grumpy because I'd be horny. Before you I was getting laid six times a week, luckily for me we've been averaging five nights so I'm satisfied. Personally I'd love to make love to you 24/7 but I'm not sure I could convince you of that."

"And I suppose next you're going to demand no condoms and she 

handle birth control?" Rory was stunned; part of his requirements for a wife was sex whenever he wanted. Was this really the Logan she loves?

"Boy you got touchy all of a sudden. Rory I am just putting words to what I feel I want and need for my future, that's never been an issue with us before. Yes I would love to lose the condoms with my wife. I'm going to go into this marriage and vow to be faithful. I'm not going into it thinking its ok to play around on the side. My future wife can make requests and needs known as well but yes I want to make love to her without condoms. I've worn one every single time I've ever had sex, I'd love to know what my wife truly feels like. Besides once you're married if you get pregnant it's not the end of the world."

"What if your wife wants to wait a bit to have kids?"

"Where there are birth control methods that aren't such a pain in the ass." Logan explains.

He can tell that Rory is slowly calming down and just talking with him. "Like the patch which you only have to change once a week, or the shot which lasts for months at a time. Either of those is more reliable than condoms anyway. Honestly Ace there is more options for a woman. I'm more than willing to go to the Dr. Appointment with you to decide which one fits us best."

"Logan you've thought about this stuff?" She says rather shocked.

"Yes Ace I have. I want to be your husband and I know when I asked you at some point these topics would come up so I started looking up info."

"So this conversation isn't started by Mitchum and Shira's deaths?"

"No honestly we would have had this conversation regardless; the time has been changed by their deaths. I feel a sense of urgency that I didn't feel before. I'm serious Ace. When the change in ownership & running of the papers is done I want it to be both of us at the realm equally. A married couple in charge is what I want."

"So you seriously don't want a big wedding at all?" Rory asks.

"Rory I want to be your husband. If you notice I've used Rory mostly during this conversation, I'm not joking or light hearted about any of it. To me a big wedding now would be socially and emotionally irresponsible. If it's ok with you what I propose is a small wedding, I'd invite five people, Honor, Josh, Colin, Finn and Steph."

"I'd have Mom, Luke, Lane, Zack, Paris and Doyle." She says thinking this through out loud.

"What about your grandparents?"

"They'll complain the whole time."

"NO they won't-" Logan smiles to her, "They love me."

"But they are ALL about how it looks Logan. Why do we have to get married this fast, we just got engaged."

"Rory it's the stipulation on my dad's will. He requires I'm married within 6 months of his death or I forfeit the company. I've been put through too much in my life to lose that company now. I want to marry you, that's not fake or contrived. I wasn't thinking this early but I can handle it. Ace I know this isn't the engagement or wedding you've probably dreamed of. I'm sorry Ace. I promise you here and now if you compromise with me now and we do the small wedding, on our 1 yr anniversary you'll have the wedding of your dreams. This wedding is for legal/business purposes."

"I don't understand." Rory tells him.
