It was 7:30 by the time Rory and Logan reached Starshollow, lets just says showers turned into rounds three and four. When they walked into the diner, they saw Lorelai sitting at the counter bantering with Luke.

"Come on Luke one more cup"

"No, you have been served 8 here today, and I don't know how many you had at home when I left for the diner, then you most likely drank some at the Inn, so Lorelai I put my foot down and refuse the right to serve you."

Lorelai gasped and said, "I can not believe you just said that, and as your wife I reserve the right to withhold sex"

Rory was right behind Lorelai when she said it "Mom, my virgin ears"

"Honey your ears were never virgin, growing up with me"

"I never knew my wife was so impure" Logan joked with them

"Anyways I didn't know you guys were coming" Lorelai said with excitement. "I always know when you are coming; you to be always so busy you have to schedule time with me"

"But today is the day before Christmas Eve so everyone went home early from the office and since we are the bosses we were the first ones out, then we went to target."

Lorelai cut Rory off "you went to target again with out me, you are no longer my child, so this is it you get married and never go to Target with me ever again."

"Well we went right after work at like 3, so we avoided a lot of the rush if we called you then we would only be getting home now because of all the traffic and chaos."

"Well if you got off at three you must have spent 2 hours there tops, why are you only here at 7:30, you are lucky there is no Friday night dinner."

"Well we had to do other stuff," Rory said with a flushed face

"What kinds of other stuff" Lorelai knew what it was but she loved making Rory uncomfortable

"MOM" Rory said with a whine

"Fine I know what kinds of stuff, you have that just had sex glow"

"Mother, would you refrain from talking about my sex life in the middle of the diner, Babette is right there"

"Don't worry suga if Morey looked like Logan, we would never leave the house"

Rory was now a shade of deep red. She looked at Logan for help and he whispered in her ear "you wanted me to keep it G remember"

She gave him the death glare "help me"

"Fine, Babette how are you today"

"I am good Logan; it's so nice that you and Rory still visit a lot. You know she is the town princess."

"I have heard that story, now if you would excuse us we came to eat"

"Thank you" Rory said to Logan.

"NO problem Ace. Now why don't we go sit at a table?"

"Mom you going to join us?"

"Give me one second. Luke since Rory is here, and I would like to stay, would it be possible to drink the nectar of the Gods know to the rest of the world as coffee?"

He had the punned look on his face "because it is a special occasion, and if you don't give it to me I will walk next door to Weston's and get a cup there and drink it here. And in that walk to Weston's I may be run over by a car or worse break my ankle, and me your poor wife would need to be waited on and then you would feel guilty for my accident, all because you wouldn't serve me a cup of coffee."

"If I give you the coffee will you promise it will be your last one of the day?"

"Yes" Luke took a cup and filled it to the brim, Lorelai carefully sipped the hot beverage, and walked over to the table were Rory and Logan were sitting,

"I must thank you too on your impeccable timing, Luke was really not going to give me a cup of coffee, and it was like the end of the world."

"Logan has learned not to come between me and the coffee, he even makes it every morning, its ready when I get out of the shower, and it is at perfect drinking temperature, we have it down to a science."

"Rory you wouldn't mind if I stole Logan, or better yet can he teach Luke" Logan just loved to watch the conversation between the two; it was more entertaining then a movie.

"Mom Luke has know your coffee habits for the last 12 years, that is twice as long as Logan has know mine"

Logan butted into the conversation "he does it because it's fun to watch you to go to any length to get coffee. I used to do it in the beginning with Rory but it wasn't over coffee, it would be just anything that we could banter on its so much fun to banter with a Gilmore girl, it's almost like floor play" that earned Logan a swift kick from Rory under the table "aw, Ace that hurt."

"but you promised me, that was G Rory, I said floor play, and it is just look at us now, you just want to rip my head off and let me tell you angry works for you."

"Do you want me to kick you again?" Rory said with a stare

"NO, but just think about it and you will know I am right."

"Fine, what are you getting?"

"I want grilled cheese and soup since that is what I did cook for diner, but it burned." Logan said with a smile

"Well I am getting a burger with fries, and onion rings, MOM if I get Chile fries will you eat some too, Logan doesn't like them."

"Ace it's not that I don't like them it just they don't sit well and I get acid reflux."

"You two sound like and old married couple, do you want to stick the dinner rolls in your purse."

"Ha-ha you are so funny mom," Rory said sarcastically

"I know I am, and yes I will eat the Chile fries, I already had them for lunch so don't tell Luke I am eating yours okay"

"Luke" Rory yelled

" I want a cheese burger well done, with the, you know the usual, no greens and Chile fries, Logan wants grilled cheese and soup, and can we have two more coffees because mom was so rude and only got one for herself, and well that's it for now, you care to join us?"

" I will let me just put these in with Caesar, lane is coming in, in about 15 minutes she had to take Steve to the dr. his ears were hurting."

"Yeah I haven't seen lane in a while"

Luke walked back to the kitchen, and Lorelai turned to Rory and Logan "so what did you guys by at Target, I hope it wasn't my gift, I know I love the store and everything but now that you are loaded Rory I expect something from at least Bloomingdales."

"Well we had to go and by stuff for our future niece or nephew, Honor is having another baby soon, so we figured we might as well by the baby some things, she is due next month."

Rory was holding Logan's hand under the table know what the next question would, be and she hated not telling her mother, but if she told her here, then Babette would know and then Miss Patty then the whole town and everyone would be waiting to here the news. Logan squeezed her hand under the table giving the cue he would answer the question when it came up. Lorelai saw the tension between the two and knew Rory would tell her when she was ready; it was really none of her business until the day she felt comfortable making it Lorelai's business. So instead, she asked a different question.

"Is she having a baby shower?"

Rory was a little confused but kept up with her mother "yeah the day before New Years Eve. She said you were welcomed to come."

"Yeah it should be fun, the last one was." Rory was remembering the last one:

"Rory darling it as so nice of you to come" Shira said.

"I wouldn't miss it; Honor and I have become great friends"

"That is so great to hear" Shira said with a plastered smile on her face

" it really is, just yesterday we went shopping a little boutique in Hartford, we picked up some of the most adorable baby clothing, It was so good to see Honor smiling, you know with Josh being away on business the past week."

At that time Lorelai had walked in with Emily, "Shira" Emily called "Emily so good to see you, I haven't seen you this week."

"I know all the wedding plans are finished, we just need to have the wedding. Rory aren't you excited?"

for the first time Rory didn't have to force fake a smile, because she really was excited, she had know since Logan went to London that he was the one. She began to blush thinking about it "would you look at her she has puppy dog eyes thinking about it" Emily and Shira, cooed. She remembered the whole party thinking about her own children, everyone at the party was expecting it to be her next year, but she wasn't sure when, she and Logan had talked about it and he said that he wanted kids when she was ready.

Logan watch as Rory come back from her day dream, he and Lorelai ignored both new what she was dreaming about, but they knew she would tell them when she was ready. Luke had joined the table, he sat down and said "food will be out in about 15 minutes, Rory here is your coffee."

"Thanks Luke"

"So what are your plans for Christmas?" Lorelai asked

"well you know Christmas eve we go to grandma and grandpa's like every year, where we will pay our duties to the Hartford Society, we will see the Huntzbergers then we will go home, and go to bed, wake up and open our presents, Logan has done a good job hiding them this year, then we will come to Starshollow, and spend the day here until we have to go to the Huntzbergers dinner party at 8, some how we will have to go to church in between but it's all good. Nothing like the Thanksgiving when we had 4 dinners in one day."

"I have trained you well my little sensei." Lorelai said while bowing her head

"So what did you get Mitchum and Shira?"

"Well I suggested we give Shira a prescription for Chantix so she can quit smoking but, Logan said no, and so we got her a one week stay for two at the Ballantyne in North Carolina, you know the spa grandma went to during Mia's wedding"

"Did you get your mama one too?"

"I can't tell you, and anyways you would be offended if you got the same gift as Shira."

"You know me so well"

"What did you get the devil dressed in Armani?'

"Logan picked it out, its pro golf lessons, at the club, because he is such a bad golfer, did I tell you that I beat him last month when I went to the club?"

"No way" Lorelai said in shock

"Yes, he almost started crying" Rory was laughing

"It was one of the best days of my life," Logan said with the biggest smile

"We got our nephew Matt a toy car that you can drive around it, it's plastic but I want one Rory, it's not too late to by it for me"

She looked at him like he was crazy, "why would you want a toy car when you already have three real ones, would you like to trade the Escalade for a plastic one because it could easily be arranged, one less car to pay insurance on, speaking of which, the lease on the Prius is up, so we have to figure that out later."

Luke had gotten up during one of the rants and was bringing back the food, Rory almost burnt her mouth biting into a fry because she was so impatient.

"Luke this is amazing, Logan we have to come more often, screw Friday night dinners with the family, we should go to Luke's or better yet, Luke can bring the food to grandma and grandpa's"

'My mother eat a French fry?" Lorelai said laughing

"it has happened, remember when we were planning the wedding we met here and she ate a whole plate of them"

"yes, and I asked if she was really my mother"

"Rory lane just called and she can't make it to work today, just to let you know."

"it's okay I spoke to her last night on the phone, and she said Steve wasn't feeling well. We are going to stop and see her on Christmas; hopefully Steve will be feeling better."

It was 10 o'clock and the diner was closing, everyone was saying there goodbyes, and Rory and Logan walked out of the diner hand in hand, they reached the car when Rory said "thank you"

"Anytime Ace, anytime."

"I heard your mom say that there is a town meeting next week maybe we can come after work"

Rory smiled, "yep that sound really good."

It was 10:30 when they got home and they were exhausted, they checked the message machine, it was Honor wondering if they could baby-sit Matt next weekend, when here and Josh went to celebrate their anniversary.

Rory had called Honor back and said that they would love to. And she told honor her mom was coming to her baby shower as well.

Rory crawled into bed next to Logan, and leaned her head on his chest, "Thank you for today, it was amazing"

"What part," Logan said with a smirk,

"All of it before Starshollow, and Starshollow"

"It's no big deal"

"We are baby sitting for Honor and Josh next weekend, just thought I would tell you" Rory said with a smile

"That's great Matt is my little buddy,"

"Oh I almost forgot, what about the car"

"Yes what are we to do with your 2002 Prius, I say we trade it in, I know you love it but will it be reasonable?"

"I know but the Asian cars are indestructible," Rory said with a giggle

"Well we are going to need a bigger car for when we have kids"

"I know, I sorta want the soccer mom SUV," Logan laughed at how cute she was right now.

"We will go car shopping, we should bring Matt he can be a test child,"

" you do realize by the time I get pregnant, carry a baby for a whole 9 months and then wait for it to be Matt's age, we will need a new car. And at least my car even though it is old can still put a car seat in the back, while your little Porsche is a two seater; we should really be getting you a new car."

"But I have the escalade, in the garage, that I can drive,"

"But I hate the escalade, it's like a tanker, and it eats up too much gas, we should trade that in too for a new car,"

"No, nope the escalade, it was a gift from Finn to me when I got home from London. It holds too much sentimental value. And just think of everything that has happened in that car, and then tell me it is not a good car." Logan smirked

"Fine keep it, but I am never going to drive it" Rory said reluctantly she leaned up and kissed him,

"I am so tired, I am going to sleep" Logan kissed her again, and she began playing with the hem of his shirt.

"I thought you were going to sleep?"

"I was but, I don't know, but the escalade reminded me of something else I wanted to do before bed." She said seductively

"Hum, well then" Logan said as he rolled her over.

AN: please review, I would like to know how I am doing, anyways I own nothing
