The story is set five years after season 7 with some changes. Logan still refused to do the long distance thing again. After Logan left her Rory found out she was reinterviewed for the job at The New York Times, that's not the only surprise she got…
It was Saturday afternoon and Rory Gilmore's gaze wandered from her computer screen where she was writing her most recent article for The New York Times. Her eyes fell on the picture of herself with her mum and grandparents where she had just graduated from Yale. It was supposed to be one of the biggest and happiest days of her life – she was graduating from college, but no Logan had to go and ruin it by dumping her.
FLASHBACK
Logan walked over to Rory beaming, once he got close enough to Rory to see her face clearly, his face fell. He knew her answer. However he had the slightest glimmer of hope.
"I'm so sorry Logan, I can't marry you I'm 22 years old and I have literally just graduated from college." She told him "Please can we do the long distance relationship thing again?" she asked him hopefully.
"No I can't, when we were apart, when I was in London, when I was without you day after day, week after week, month after month, I hated that Rory, so it's all or nothing! What will it be you and me forever or not at all" he asked her. Silently he prayed to God that she was all in, in it for the long haul.
"I love you Logan, you have no idea how much I love you!"
Logan just said "If only that were enough." And he walked away leaving an upset Rory with tears streaming down her face.
Rory was suddenly pulled out of her day dream by her front door being thrown open by a very charming Australian. "LOVE!"
Rory looked to the door to see none other that Finn Rostchild who said "Rory darling, how are we on this fine day?"
"I'm doing fine you however seem to have forgotten something rather important" she questioned the chipper Aussie
"Rory darling I could never forget the ever lovely Bella, she with…"
But before he could say anymore in walked Colin McCrae holding a gorgeous five. She had beautiful long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes that were as pretty as her mum's. Bella was wearing a pink sundress with tiny sunflowers on it. Bella ran over to her mum and gave her a big hug.
"Hey baby did you have fun with Uncle Colin and Uncle Finn?" Rory asked her daughter.
"Yeah we went to the park I had a go on the swings and the slide and on the monkey bars and I even went on the flying fox but uncle Colin had to help me" she energetically told her mother.
"And did Uncle Finn behave?" Rory sceptically
"He went on the flying fox too only he fell off."
Rory and Colin laughed, while Bella erupted into a fit of giggles at the memory.
"What it's not my fault a beautiful red head walked by" he grumpily said
That just made them laugh and giggle more, ah typical Finn.
When Rory stopped laughing she was able to say "Finn you might want to be more careful next time… just a thought"
At that point Colin said "Rory I'm going to take Finn home before he hurts himself again"
"See you tomorrow" Rory said
"Bye Uncle Colin, bye Uncle Finn"
"Until we meet again loves" Finn told Rory and Bella before making his dramatic exit dragging Colin along behind him.
"Alright little miss time for bed" Rory told her daughter.
Bella countered with "can you please read 'Rainbow Magic', pretty please mummy?"
"Okay so you change into your PJ's on and jump into bed and I'll grab it."
Rory walked into Bella's room and laughed lightly "you really love this book don't you"
Bella just giggled. When they were both settled Rory started reading
Once upon a time there was an old lady called Gran Tibbet. She lived in an old, old house on the edge of the forest with her granddaughter Annie Tibbet and Little Dog Bozo. Around the house was Gran Tibbet's pretty rose garden was a grassy meadow that went right to the edge of the dark Fern Forest. Early in the morning the deer and their fawns would come out of the forest and eat the grass in the meadow. Sometimes Annie could get quite close to the fawn, but Little Dog Bozo would run out and bark at the deer. "One day they won't run away," Annie scolded. "Then you'll be sorry." But Little Dog Bozo only laughed. When the weather turned cold… and what about the crock of gold? Of course it was only fairy-sized crock of gold, so Gran set it on her mantelpiece in a tiny glass case, to prove that Fairy Folk really did live in the Fern Forest and that there really was a crock of gold to be found under the rainbow. The End Rory noticed that her daughter was slowly falling asleep so she carefully and quietly but the book on Bella's bedside table got up, turned off the light left the room she got ready for bed and happily drifted to sleep.
She was woken the next morning by Bella jumping happily on Rory's bed saying "mummy, mummy, its morning, its morning, time to get up, time to get up!"
"Urgh why must you be so chipper this morning" Rory complained
"Cause I get to spend the WHOLE day with Uncle Colin and Uncle Finn" Bella told her mother
"Well then you had better go get ready, I get ready for work."
"Okay" Bella bounced off the bed and into her room
An hour later they were ready and on their way to the apartment that Colin and Finn shared, Rory dropped Bella off at Colin and Finn's on her way to work.
Meanwhile a plane originating in Palo Alto was on its final decent into the New York airport with a certain blonde haired brown eyed guy on it.
