Memory Lane
Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did Finn would have more air time.
AN: This is my second story. It's my first PDLD though. I love Finn, so of course I love the pairing. It's set in the future with flashbacks. Rory and Logan did date. But never went past the no strings thing. No offense to Rogan lovers. I absolutely love the Rogan coupling and Logan will be in this one. If you see any errors let me know.
Chapter 1:
The sun was just beginning to peak through the curtains. Rory squinted her eyes to avoid the inevitable sun. She groaned and rolled over to look at her husband of five years today. He hadn't changed drastically in their day together. Running her finger gently over his face she noticed his face had almost completely lost the boyish look it had when they met. Of course, his personality radiated boyish charm. He was constantly getting into trouble and playing silly pranks in his college days. He still joked around, but he had matured. 'I guess being CEO of a law firm will do that to you,' Rory mused. As her fingers began to brush over his jaw his hand reached out and caught hers as he cracked open an eye.
"That tickles, love," he groggily murmured.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."
"You didn't, but the bloody sun did. You seemed to be having fun studying me. I didn't want to interrupt."
"I was marveling at how old you look."
"Gee, laying the compliments on pretty thick this morning aren't you kitten?"
"Sorry, that came out wrong. Ugh! Too early to function. I meant you've matured."
"Me? Never. I refuse to grow old. I'm off to Never Never Land!"
"I would normally combat that witty remark, but it's early and I need coffee. So go fetch me coffee, slave boy."
"Slave boy? And here I thought I meant more to you than that! At least could you manage a dear or a sexy charming Australian husband?"
"Husband of 5 years," she said with a small smile.
"Wow...is that today!" he said with a lopsided grin as he sank back into his pillow.
"Yes it is. December 5th," she said as her eyes lit up and a huge smile conquered her face.
"I love you," he whispered as pulled her into his arms.
"I love you too," she mumbled as she kissed him softly. The moment was short lived as a lump slowly worked its way under the covers and up to the head of the bed. Rory giggled as it brushed her foot and winked at Finn to play along.
"BOO!" the lump cried and it jumped from under the covers.
"AHHHH!" Rory and Finn fake-screamed. Rory hid her head in Finn's chest too hide her smile. The lump mistook her shaking shoulders as crying and immediately became worried.
"Mommy! It's ok! It's just me, Charlie!" the little girl cried as she shook her mom. Rory turned around with fake relief on her face.
"Oh Charlie it's you, I thought it was a monster!"
"Baby girl you shouldn't scare your mom and me like that."
"Sorry Daddy. I just wanted to make sure you were up."
"And why is that?"
"Cause it's snowing!" Charlie squealed.
"Snow!" Rory cheered.
"Can we play in it Mommy?"
"Of course we can hun!"
"Daddy will you play too?"
"Sure I will, but only for a little while. Mommy and I have plans later and you are staying with Grandma."
"Why?"
"Cause it's our anniversary."
"A what?"
"It's a day that celebrates something, like a birthday, but we are celebrating the day we got married."
"Oh! Well I'll make you something extra special, 'k Mommy?"
"I'd love that Charlie."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory and Charlie marched outside. Snow gear from head to toe. Finn followed, smiling at his girls. After a while Rory and Finn sat down on the porch while Charlie continued playing.
"I love the snow," Rory sighed happily.
"I know, luv."
"Everything is magical when it snows."
"I know, luv. We go over this every year."
"Hush you. Now where was I? Oh yeah. Everything looks pretty. The clothes are great."
"Oh I agree, but they'd look better on the bedroom floor."
"You did not just say that! Anyways where was I?"
"I believe you were about to go into 'Did you know the best things in my life happened when it snowed?'"
"Oh yeah. Did you know the best things in my life happened when it snowed?"
"No? Really?" he mock-gasped.
"My first steps."
"And I'm so thankful to snow and it's assistance in the walking process."
"The first time you told me you loved me."
"Good snow."
"Charlie's birth."
"I'm eternally grateful to snow for that one."
"Yup! Thanks to snow we have Charlie."
Flashback
Rory and Finn sat on the porch of their new home. Finn absentmindedly rubbed her now very pregnant belly.
"I think I felt her kick!" Finn cried excitedly.
"Yeah, she's very active today."
"Have you been sneaking coffee again?"
"No! Of course not," at his pointed stare she sighed "maybe a little."
"Rory you know better, it isn't good for the baby."
"Finn!" she said standing up.
"I mean it Rory. You should be careful."
"Finn! I think my water just broke! Oh god. I just had a contraction!" she cried holding her stomach.
"Oh God! Luv, just hold on. Everything is gonna be ok! Now you go get in the bag and I'll grab the car! Wait...reverse that. Get in the car. I'll get your bag," he said hysterically.
"Finn! Calm down! It will be ok! Just sit down! Breathe in and out! Good...now are you ok?" Rory asked calmly as the contraction passed.
"Yeah. I'm ok. I can get through this, we can get through this." Finn said as he took deep breaths. He closed his eyes and laid back.
"Are you coming?" Rory asked after she retrieved her bag.
"Yes!" Finn exclaimed running to the car. Rory sat in beside him and before her knew it they were in the hospital. The receptionist pointed them in the right direction and got Rory into a wheelchair. When they reached the room their doctor came in to check on Rory.
"Rory how are you doing today?" Dr. Stewart asked.
"Umm..in a lot of pain. The contractions hurt like hell to be honest." she said as another wave of pain came over her.
"The drugs should kick in soon. You'll probably be ready to push in a few minutes. I assume you'll want to go with her Finn?"
"Yes Dr." Finn said feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"Rory! My baby is having a baby!" Lorelai said running into the room followed by Luke.
"I'm sorry guys, I tried to make her wait in the waiting room. We're going now!" Luke said dragging Lorelai out of the room.
"Bye Rory! Have fun! Finn you better let me know as soon as you know!"
"Have fun?" Rory mumbled as Finn brushed the hair from her face. "She's kidding right?"
"Yes luv. I'm gonna let go for a second to get these scrubs on."
"Ok guys, we are gonna move you into delivery." the doctor said as a nurse pushed Rory's bed down the hallway with Finn jogging beside. Soon they were in delivery and on their way to parenthood.
"One more push Rory." the doctor told her.
"Finn, wear a damn condom next time." she screamed. Then she heard the most amazing noise. Her baby. Their baby.
"Congratulations Mrs. Morgan. You have a healthy baby girl!" the doctor said as Finn cut the cord. After the baby was cleaned up they handed her to Rory wrapped in a little pink blanket.
"Hey baby." Rory cooed. The newborn opened her eyes and look at Rory. Finn felt as the wind was knocked out of him. He had her eyes.
"She's amazing luv." Finn whispered as kissed Rory's then his baby's head.
"What's her name?" the nurse asked.
"Lorelai Charlize Morgan." Rory said smiling at her baby.
"Why Charlize Mrs. Morgan? If I may ask." the nurse said.
"So I can call her Charlie of course. Like in Willy Wonka," Rory smiled.
"I love you, Rory. And I love you too Charlie." Finn said as he picked his daughter up. His daughter babbled happily as he cooed at her.
"She's a daddy's girl." Rory whispered.
"Daddy. I can get used to that." Finn said as his eyes watered up.
"I love you Finn."
"I love you, too luv."
End flashback
"I think that was one of the best days in my life." Finn whispered as he hugged Rory to his chest.
"Definitely." Rory said as she kissed him sweetly. He was just about to deepen the kiss when Charlie interrupted.
"Can we have some coffee now Daddy?" Charlie said as she looked at him with her bright blue eyes.
"Anything you want baby girl."
"Me too?" Rory asked.
"Anything." he said with a smile. And he meant it.
