A/N: I should have mentioned that this is AU. Everything is the way I wanted the story to go. Some events have happened (such as rory and the campaign trail) and some I have made up (such as the time rory has spend on the campaign trail and her working as a waitress). please read and review and let me know what you think :) -Annika xo
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost

He had to wait for 3 rings before Rory picked up "Hello?" he let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding "Hello kitten. I've really missed you". "Hey Finn, I didn't think you would want to talk to me after what happened between Logan and me. I was really sad that none of you kept in contact after all I thought that we were friends. I understand why you guys did it though. You were friends with him first but I am really glad that you called". He could hear her sniffle and trying to keep the tears in. It hurt him to know that she was so sad because of him "Oh Kitten. I don't know what I can do to earn your forgiveness. How about we have a movie night tomorrow. I know how much you loved them. I will even provide an enormous amount of coffee for you?"
Rory's P.O.V
A movie night with Finn sounds great. I loved when he started re-enact movie scenes, even his own version of The Passion of the Christ. "Sure Finn that sounds great. Do you want to come to my apartment because my roommate won't be here for the weekend so we can stay up all night catch up and fall into a sugar coma?" I held my breath whilst I waited for him to give me his answer "Of course luv, that sounds absolutely perfect. Just give me your address and a time and I will stand outside of your door with all the junk food we need". He can't see me through the phone obviously but I had a massive grin on my face.
We spend the rest of the night talking about little things such as what movies we've seen lately and how our families are. Finn was the only one coming from a society family who had a really good relationship with his parents and siblings. I kind of envied him that he had his dad whilst growing up. Even though I am disappointed in my dad for not being there whilst I was younger, I wouldn't change the relationship I have with him now for anything. We are closer than we have ever been before. I also get to see my little sister GiGi a lot more now since he got custody of her after Sherry decided that she couldn't look after her anymore and permanently moved to Paris.
No one's P.O.V
As Finn sat back in the driver seat he looked next to him and saw all the different take outs he got for his movie night with Rory; Chinese, Pizza, Thai, Tacos and Italian. He wasn't even surprised anymore as he knew that they would manage to eat all of this plus whatever candy Rory had decided to buy.
Soon after he arrived at her apartment complex, greeted the doorman and took the elevator up to the 5th Floor. He stood in front of her door for 20 minutes before he could knock the door as soon as he had finished knocking the door opened and Rory leaned against the door frame smirking. "I've been wondering what kept you considering you got here 20 minutes ago". She laughed and took some of the food of him and walked to the living room to put it down. She turned back around to him and gave him a shy smile "Now come here and give me a hug. I haven't seen you in 3 years". Before she even finished her sentence, Finn had walked up to her and grabbed her in a tight hug. "I've missed you more than you will ever know" she really quietly whispered. After Finn stopped spinning her around he looked into her beautiful blue eyes "I am so glad that I ran into you last night. I didn't think I would ever get to see you again. By the way, tell me why you aren't you writing for a newspaper? I've kept looking for your articles but apart from the ones you wrote when you were on the Campaign trail, I didn't find any".
Rory knew she had to tell him what happened but apart from her mother and grandparents, no one knew why she quit the trail. She took a deep breath and nodded "Ok, I will tell you everything that happened once we have eaten". Finn started laughing at this as the moment Rory finished talking her stomach started rumbling.
They got through most of the Chinese, Thai and the pizza before Finn paused the movie and turned around to Rory "Now kitten are you ready to tell me what happened?" Only thing she could do was put down her plate and take a deep breath.
Rory's P.O.V
"It all started 3 years ago when I joined the campaign trail after Logan broke up with me. I threw myself into the work and wrote of the best articles I have ever written. A couple of days into the trail, we were in Miami at the time, I got a phone call from a certain Mitchum Huntzberger. Let's just say that even though he didn't like me as his son's girlfriend, rejecting his son's proposal will have severe consequences. At the time I didn't think much about it and kept working.
2 months later I still felt extremely sick. We were in Iowa at our next rally stop and I had been walking with my roommate Emma to get lunch when I suddenly started feeling really light headed and saw blood spots between my legs on the floor. Just as I shouted out her name, my head succumb to the blackness and collapsed. A couple of hours later I woke up at the hospital, when Emma saw that I was awake she went to get my Doctor. The Doctor told me that I had lost a large amount of blood during my miscarriage "I took a deep breath before I could continued, Finn could see how hard this was for me and he just took my hand in his own and held it "The doctor told me that I had been 14 weeks pregnant and that I should take some rest before getting back to work. As he left the room I just sat numbly in my bed. I couldn't believe that I didn't realise that there was a little person growing inside of me. I know I should have phone Logan and told him what happened but my heart still felt ripped apart after he walked away from me at Graduation.
I got kept in for another night before being released the next day on the promise to take it easy. Emma took me back to our room and looked after me to make sure I took it easy during the rally. At night I looked at the calendar on my phone and found out that my baby would have been due on September 4th. For the next 3 years, I stayed on the trail writing for Senator Obama until a week before what would have been my baby's 3rd birthday. I phoned my mum and told her I couldn't do it anymore. It just hurt too much so I handed in my resignation to Hugo and moved back to Stars Hollow. I started sending out my resumes to every paper possible on the east and the west coast and all across the country. After 6 months of sending resumes out and getting 50+ rejection letters I knew there wasn't going to be a paper that was going to hire me.
So I phoned Hugo and asked him if we could ask around why no one would hire me. He did me this favour as we had become good friends and after a couple of phone calls, he had found out that Mitchum had me blacklisted so that no paper would hire me. I couldn't believe that my dream was over. In those 6 months I had attended some society parties with my grandmother where people kept asking me if I had found a job at a paper yet and it was just getting too much getting all this pressure from society. So I asked my grandparents if they could help me find an apartment here in Manhattan which they did and soon after I found my current job. I really like it there, my co-workers have become really good friends and it's where I've met my roommate Megan".
Throughout me telling Finn everything that had happened I had felt the tears slipping down my face and only when I looked up in his eyes I could see anger, love and proudness. He pulled me into a hug so that I nearly sat in his lap and whispered in my ear "I am so proud of you Rory".
