Under and Over

Chapter 4 – The Best Surprise

While they were visiting Stars Hollow Finn asked Rory to move in with him, her room in her mom's house would be nice when they visited, but he wanted her home to be with him. She recalled how she had only moved in with Logan out of desperation and was happy to move in with Finn out of his pure desire for her to be with him always. She was surprised to see his home was a fully restored brownstone on 81st street, it boasted five fire places he told her, the floors were heated on demand and the private garden was a rare treat in the city. There were 2 offices one upstairs and one in the wine cellar; he preferred the one in the cellar for the pure quite it offered. It was well decorated but had a feel that was fully Finn. She just loved everything about her new home; even the stylish copper kitchen gave her a comforting feeling. She had learned a little about cooking from Logan, maybe she could continue learning, even have some proper lessons so she could cook for their kids. She shook her head, it was too soon for kids, but she could see having his. She was surprised to see it had a separate studio apartment complete with its own kitchenette.

"Finn, does anyone live there? "She asked pointing to the small abode.

"Of course not luv, that's for guests. My family all has keys as do Logan, Colin and Stephanie, that way when they stay in the city they can use the little house. It is only a studio but it works well for two. If they are traveling with more there are other options outside the city. We keep a calendar of who is using it so no one barges in on anyone." He explained then he took her to the master suite. "Welcome home luv." He kissed her and they christened their bedroom and new life together.

They flew to Australia for her to meet the corporate staff and the rest of his family as well as some close friends. She was well received and found that she would have an adjoining office to Finn, she hadn't really considered the logistics and was so happy Finn had once again, thought of everything. Since it was her first visit Finn insisted it not be all work and no play so he took her to some of the local touristy sights. She was so excited when he took her to a place she could hold a Koala and pet a kangaroo; he was just dumbfounded by her exuberance. He took her to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef, she was giddy at the colors and her continuous pointing greatly amused him. He ended their day with a Sunset Dinner Cruise, they could enjoy the sights, chat and have a lovely meal on the water, she was enchanted. Finn loved how everything delighted her and he wanted always to see that light in her eyes.

It was amazing how quickly time passed when you were happy and in love. Before they knew it was January 20th and Rory had invited him to the Inaugural Ball celebrating the newest president. She had won the pool amongst the press corps guessing the closest number of votes he would win by. They were dancing and enjoying the most black tie event of them all, it was quite the coup in both of their circles. Finn was enjoying the evening in spite of the formality he wasn't even considering a sub party. He held Rory close as they danced.

"Luv" he began, "You could have said yes you know I would understand, working as press secretary to the President, it would be an honor and a first with you being so young and all. It was a great offer."

"Oh, but I had a better one, a prior commitment as I told them. Are you rescinding your offer? I am sure they will still take me." She said playfully.

"No, never and actually I would like to up the ante. Would you marry me Rory, live your life with travel and leisure and writing as my wife, friend and partner? "He held a ring to her it sparkled in the festive lights. A cameraman caught the unsuspecting pair and zoomed in. This may be the first broadcast of a proposal at an inaugural ball.

Emily cried out to Richard, "Richard come quickly you will never believe what is happening. He is proposing at the Inaugural Ball, and she is saying yes. Oh Richard, she is getting married." Won't they have beautiful children."

Richard sat beside his wife and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as she leaned into him. "Yes Emily, they will have beautiful children, but let's get them married first, hmm."

It had been only 6 short months, but they both knew. She admired the platinum setting, the princess cut three carat stone and the halo of sapphires surrounding it, and nodded, "Yes Finn, I will marry you and travel the world with you."

It was broadcast across America, the sweetheart of the press corps and the #1 bachelor were to be wed. Even the President applauded and took the photo opp.

They were slightly embarrassed to dim his limelight if only for a moment but thanked him profusely for honoring them with the first photo of a newly engaged couple with the President. He hugged them both as did his wife and the band played 'I Love You For Sentimental Reasons' and they invited all the couples to share in the joy only love can bring.

They had only been engaged a few short days but she knew he was it. He would be the man she dreamt about all of her days. He gave her what no man could, a life filled with travel and words. She may not be a foreign correspondent; but she would have her say. In college if someone had told her fortune and said she would marry an exotic man of great means from a faraway land she would have thought them a fool she always thought she would marry for love not money; and she would marry for love of a special man from the land down under who had the means to make all her dreams come true.
