Before long Rory and Logan are involved in the most loving make out session they have ever had. Logan is trying to show Rory without words that his love for her is genuine. He reaches over to grab a condom and Rory interlaces her fingers with him.
"No" She says meaning towards the condom but Logan gets confused and thinks she's saying no to him on making love on their wedding night.
"Ace I know I was horrible on the whole wedding thing but you're saying we can't consummate our marriage?"
"Oh absolutely not Logan, I'm saying no to the condom. Look at your left hand, we're married which means you don't have to wear one anymore. I've been on the pill for years, you know that. Make love to your wife Mr. Huntzberger."
"I'd love to Mrs. Huntzberger."
With that Logan and Rory share the most amazing and sincere lovemaking session. After words, while cuddled together, "Logan its time to talk birth control" Rory would tell him.
"Ok are you or are you not liking the pill?" He turns serious. This conversation, however personal for Rory affects them both, and he knows he's gotta participate in it.
"I like it fine but I've heard taking the pill for a long period of time isn't that good for you so I was wondering about options. What information do you know?" Logan would get up and grab the info he printed out.
"Ok there are shots, patches, implants and pills to name a few. What we need to figure out is how interactive we want to be?"
"Meaning?"
"Well the sponge, diaphragm, NuvaRing all have to be inserted in you, which I personally like the idea of touching you but I'm thinking it would take away from the spontaneity of being married."
"I've heard some talk about the patch & shot?" Rory says.
"I've researched both, I don't really like the shot because a) needles and b) it has an increased risk of bone loss and women who are under 35 and whose first exposure to Depo-Provera was within the last 4 years may have a slightly increased risk of breast cancer."
"So that one sounds like it's for after we get old?"
"That's what I was thinking too."
"Then it looks like the winner is the patch. It hasn't been around as long as most of the rest it looks like it has pretty much the same medication as the pill so it should be a feasible option. I'll wear it; you remember when it has to change. Deal?"
"Deal Ace." Logan smiles, they have this partnership thing down.
"When did you have the time to research all of this Logan?"
"Ace it wasn't hard but to answer your question, I had to have something to do in London. Sounds like though my wife has been doing some research too."
"Would I be the woman you married if I didn't?"
"No of course not. Do you have a pro/con list?"
"Do not mock my pro/con lists." Rory says exasperated.
"I'm not. I like them; I tend to come out heavily favored in them. I love you Ace Huntzberger."
"Now that sounds strange. Who do I talk to at Yale to change my name." She asks him like he would actually know. Logan kisses his wife.
"I'd suggest starting with the Office of the Registrar. Probably bring everything, student id, our marriage license and your driver's license."
"You think I should change my name on my license first?"
"I'm not sure it matters. But if you do I'd probably bring your birth certificate too."
"Shit I need a new passport too."
"I'll have my secretary handle that. She's getting us on the insurance plan and getting all the new paperwork together for our life insurance and all that as well."
"You know you get by way to easy on this marriage thing." Rory tells him out of left field.
"Why?"
"You don't have to deal with the school, the government –nothing."
Logan doesn't say anything; he just smiles and kisses Rory.
"Oh don't think you're getting out of trouble Mister."
"Why am I in trouble?"
"Because I fell in love with you and now I have to do paperwork."
"I'll make it up to you Ace." He figures he may as well keep the things we need to discuss topic going.
"We have to figure out living arrangements. I'm not going for the seeing you every once in while."
"What do you suggest?"
"Well we have options now that we are the Huntzbergers in charge. We have a plane and helicopter at our disposal anytime we want them. I personally like the idea of you organizing your classes so they happen just a few days a week and you spend the rest of the time in New York with me."
"So Logan rule number 1 of our marriage. Everything you want me to bend on you have to bend on one thing for me. This is a 50/50 partnership."
"Are you saying that living with me is a compromise?"
"That's not what I'm saying."
"That's what I heard Ace." Logan tries to win the discussion like he did about them 'hanging out' oh so long ago.
"Logan nice try but I'm on to you." Logan just grins using his trademark smirk.
"So I want us to live together, what's your counterpoint to that?"
"In order for that to happen you have to agree with me that Tuesday – Thursday when I'm in New Haven you can work as late as you want. But Friday through Monday is my time. We'll both be at the office, but work is done by 7pm at the latest. Saturday OR Sunday we will work from home – one day not both – and Sunday I'll during that time I'll do homework if I have it or help you if I don't."
"So you are trying to make sure it doesn't take over our lives?"
"Actually yes I am. I saw the marriage and family life you had and I refuse to partake in that."
"I love you Ace. Done." Logan kisses her. "Do you want to send a check to your Grandparents for Chilton and Yale?"
"I don't know yet, depends on how Grandma acts when I tell her I can't do Friday Night Dinners every week. I'm going to suggest once a month, you too of course."
"How did I get roped into-" Logan gets cut off.
"Again sweetie, check out that sexy left hand of yours." Rory kisses him. She loves the fact that they can lie in bed in one another's arms and discuss anything and everything.
"So how would you like a nice long backrub honey?" He tries a new term of endearment and Rory looks at him like he's just had twins.
"Ok so that one doesn't work." They both laugh.
"Backrub sounds excellent." She rolls onto her stomach and Logan quickly grabs some massage oil from the bathroom and returns.
"This is soooo good." She smiles a little later.
"Rory you are my wife, I love you. I know I sounded like and ass when we started talking about getting married."
"Yes you did."
Logan instantly stops smiling. No girl except Honor has ever told him he was being an ass, not about something serious anyway. Rory has told him that many times when they were flirting but never when they were being serious.
"You really think so?"
"Yes I do. 'You're my wife and I will have to have sex x# of times per week, I need a wife for business purposes." Rory can't believe she said anything but it had been festering inside her.
"I'm sorry Rory. I didn't mean to sound like a dictator. I was just spouting off on things I know I want in my marriage. Do I expect everything to happen like I imagine – No. Do I want lots of sex from my incredibly sexy wife? Hell Yeah! I'm not blind or immune to your charms. What I said Ace is nothing different than 85 of the men on the planet. When you get engaged part of your brain shuts off. I know for me it was the part between what I think and I say that stopped working. Do I want sex daily? Yes. Do you? In all honesty if you could have sex – oral or regular anytime you wanted it how often would it be?" He's hoping by opening this topic up he's going to get out of the doghouse for being such an ass by saying it.
"3-4 times a week."
"See you have needs too. I think its best we both know what those are so our marriage will work for both of us."
"So you think it's healthy to demand stuff from one another?" Rory challenges.
