Touch of Midnight

Chapter 7 – Where did the Night Go?

Time seemed to pass too quickly and Rory found herself packing her son's bags as he prepared for Yale. "Your great grandpa would be so proud, you're going to be a bulldog, just like he was, and I was and your father too. Even your godparents are Yalies. We are all so very proud."

Richard stopped his packing and gave his mother a tight hug. "I know mom, and I know you are all so proud of me. I am a lucky fellow, I have beautiful loving parents, grandparents and I even get along with my siblings. You and dad did a great job and in two years you'll be packing for Lily to touch the toe of greatness." He kissed his mother's head.

Lorelai Emily overheard the comforting words her big brother gave their mom and smiled, he was right she was Yale bound too and knowing her brother was happy about it made her happier somehow.

"Hey, did you save any packing for me? I can't wait to be the oldest." She teased.

The twins William and Rose hearing the commotion followed after her, "Hey it looks like a party, why weren't we invited? William teased looking at his family as they packed his older brothers things for college.

Logan came home and found his family upstairs in his oldest son's room. "Looks like I missed all the fun all packed and ready for tomorrow son?"

"Looks like it dad, ready to drive your oldest to your alma mater and show him around? I hear you were quite the man about town in your day. Aunt Stephanie warned me that I might already have a list of women waiting to try the Huntzberger greatness." He leered playfully and his sisters gestured the gag sign.

Rory looked at Logan expectantly, "Well son, you can have the many or you can look for the one. I may have had a line, but when I met your mom all bets were off. She was perfect for me. I didn't know it soon enough and I almost lost her but when you find the one be sure to let her know she is special.

Rory moved over and kissed her husband's cheek. "You said the exact right thing, now I will take the others to get ready for supper and you can impart some wisdom that little ears and I shouldn't hear.

She corralled his siblings and sent them to their rooms to freshen up and went to her room to do likewise. She was glad Matilda would have supper ready; even though she had been resistant to hire help in the beginning, having a cook and other staff was a godsend. She was stripping down to get in the shower to rinse of the packing from the day when she felt his arms around her, he had already disrobed.

"May I join you?" He purred into her ear.

"Always, I can never seem to reach my back." She turned and kissed him with the love in her heart that had never swayed.

They showered and were getting ready for dinner, "I can't believe he is going to college, it seems just yesterday he was so tiny and new." He said as he slipped on his shoes.

"I know, it's all been so fast, I don't regret any of it though, do you?" She looked at him as she fastened the pins in her hair.

He walked over to her and deftly removed the pins and fluffed her cascade of curls.

"Not a minute since we found each other again. The only regret I have is the time we were apart. I love you Ace." He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply.

They were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Mom, Dad, is you going to be any longer? We are hungry and Mathilda said as soon as you come down she will serve." Lily said through the door. She knew how easily her parents were distracted when they were alone.

Logan chuckled; their children knew them too well. "We're coming out now I just had to help your mother with her hair." He said as he opened the door, his daughter rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, right like we haven't heard that one before, Mom is capable of doing her own hair, you just like it down." They went down stairs and enjoyed the Yankee pot roast Richard had requested for his last meal before moving off to college.

After dishes were cleared Matilda returned with a cake lit up with sparklers and the family sang 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow' and toasted to his future success.

The children were in their beds and Logan and Rory were in theirs. "He's going to love Yale and the LDB, have they been notified?" She asked as she snuggled into him.

"All taken care of Ace, he is going to have the time of his life."

"Mom and Luke are meeting us there she wants to find the good coffee cart for him, she says its tradition." She yawned.

"Well we better get to sleep then, with your tour and your mother's the boy will be a pro at Yale in no time." He laughed and she felt the rumble of his chest against her cheek and she kissed his chest.

"I Love you." She said.

I Love you too" He replied and they drifted to sleep dreaming of Yale and the success of their children. Warm in the love that they shared, and it was all because she went for a walk after midnight.
