It was Thursday when Lorelei called asking Rory to bring me and Arabella home with her for the weekend. I had only been to Stars Hallow once. We didn't stay long it seemed like a town full of people as mad as a snake. But I knew Rory wanted to avoid Colin and I wanted to be with my kitten. So I agreed to go to Rory's home town. While Rory was in class and Arabella visited with my parents I got everything packed for our trip.
Thursday night the three of us watched a movie and relaxed. Rory poor Shelia has been so busy catching up this week. Tonight she fell asleep before my little princess. I carried Rory to bed and kissed her cheek. I had been aching to kiss her again but I didn't want to put her against a wall. So I've been waiting.
[The Next Day]
Rory was up early this morning. She had already made coffee and breakfast before I rolled out of bed. She told me she had already packed the car so we could go after breakfast and our showers. Arabella was her usual sleepy head self. We had to get her going. On the drive to Stars Hallow Rory told us it was the Festival of Fruit this weekend. It seems they were having all kinds of food. Also games with fruit and rides. Arabella got even more excited. Rory said Sookie her mother's best friend children would be around too.
When we arrived Lorelei was waiting on her porch for us. Rory ran out of the car and to her mum. They looked so cute hugging so hard they fell over. Arabella and I stood near chuckling at them. Rory came over and picked Arabella up and carried her onto the porch. "Mom this sweet princess is Arabella." Rory said. Lorelei bounced over to my daughter and said. "Hi there cutie I will fill you full of junk food and fun." Arabella smiled and said. "Hi Rory's Mommy."
Then I joined them on the porch and said. "Hello Luv." "Hey there Finn. Good to see ya again." Lorelei said smiling. She gave me a quick hug before we all went in. Lorelei had to get back to work so we were on our own to later when we would meet her and Luke for dinner. After I put our bags in Rory's room she decided to give us a tour of her town.
It was a small town so the tour didn't take long. Miss Patty the scariest red head I've ever met tried to pinch my butt yet again. We stopped by to see Lane. I thanked her again for helping me find Rory. She beamed at me as Rory and Arabella played with her twin boys. We were heading to Luke's when Rory's ex appeared.
"Oh look Rory's got another sucker at her beckon call." Dean said. "Hello Mate you need to just calm down and back off." I said pulling Dean away from Rory and Arabella. "Listen you asshole don't tell me what to do. Rory is just a slutty tease." Dean said. I couldn't help it I punched him. "Don't you ever talk about kitten that way again you wanker." I said as he tried to lunge at me. Luke came over and sent Dean home.
I followed Luke into Luke's. Rory was sitting at a table hugging her mum crying. Arabella was crying too. I picked Arabella up and put her in my lap. "Daddy did you make the bad man who made Rory cry go away?" Arabella asked. I nodded to her. Rory looked up at me tears still falling down her face. She went upstairs to Luke's old apartment. Lorelei smiled at me and said. "Why don't you go check on her and I'll keep an eye on Princess." "Thanks Luv." I said heading upstairs.
Rory was still sobbing when I arrived. I didn't say a word to her. I just pulled her into my arms. I held her tight and kissed her hair. It took a few moments but she did calm down. She went into Luke's bathroom and cleaned up her face. "You okay Kitten?" I asked in a serious tone. "Yeah thanks Finn." She said softly. "Not a problem Kitten." I said kissing her cheek.
After dinner we headed to the festival. It was actually fun. I hit Kirk with oranges and apples. I won prizes for Arabella, Rory, and Sookie's kids. Luke even joined us. Rory and Lorelei entered the couple's pie eating contest and won second prize. After the festival Luke and Lorelei took Arabella back to the house while Rory and I went for a walk. Rory told me about her past with Dean and Jess. She even took me to the bridge where she and Jess confessed their feelings. I could tell she still respected Jess. I told her she should call Jess sometime. She agreed it would be nice if they were friends.
[The Next Day]
We all got up and went to Luke's for breakfast. Rory's Dad Christopher and her little sister Gigi met us there. Arabella and Gigi hit off right away. Funny enough Christopher and Luke actually got along quite well. After breakfast Rory and I took the girls to the park. We ran into Sookie and her kids. Rory and I offered to watch them so she could go get some coffee from Luke's.
After the park Rory and I took Gigi and Arabella back to Rory's house. Lorelei had agreed to watch Gigi while Christopher was on a date. She was talking about how Christopher won't tell her much about the woman he's dating. Rory told her mum he hadn't told her much either. Lorelei left for a while. The girls both were taking their naps. Rory and I just talked. I told her about my childhood and she told me about hers.
When Lorelei returned she had a bunch of bags. She announced it was movie night. Rory gave her a strange look and asked about the girls. Lorelei then showed Rory the princess themed movies and costumes she picked up. I knew Arabella was going to love it as well as Gigi.
The girls loved the costumes and movies. Luke even joined us. He made the girls a castle out of boxes. Rory and Lorelei ate so much. I had no idea where they fit all that chow. A little after ten Christopher came and picked Gigi up. Arabella had already fallen asleep. I took her to Rory's bed. When I came back I heard Rory telling her Mum we kissed. Lorelei squealed and said she liked me much better than Logan. The two were giggling when they noticed me. Lorelei went upstairs to join Luke who was already in bed. Rory and I watched another movie before she fell asleep. I carried her into her room and laid her next to Arabella.
[The Next Day]
It was Sunday and we were heading back to New Haven. Luke made us all pancakes before heading to Luke's. We promised to stop by for lunch before we left. Rory was studying and Lorelei was playing Barbie's with Arabella. I heard Lorelei tell Arabella she could call her Nana. Arabella was so excited. The night before she had been so jealous that Gigi called Lorelei Aunt Lorelei.
When Rory got done studying she took Arabella with her to tell Lane goodbye. Lorelei asked if she could talk to me. She we went to the table and sat down. "What's on your mind Luv?" I questioned. "Well Finn I have a few questions I need answered." Lorelei replied. "Okay Luv I'm listening." I said. "Well how do you feel about my daughter?" She asked. I smiled and chuckled a bit. "I honestly really like her. Probably more than I should at this point but I can't seem to help it." Lorelei smiled and asked. "Good so think she'll break up with Logan soon?" "I don't know Luv one can only hope." I replied. She nodded.
"Luv before I forget thank you for having us and be so good to my daughter." I said sincerely. "She's amazing Finn. No matter what happens with you and Rory I'm here if either of you need anything." She said. "Thank you Lorelei that means a lot of me. And thank you for letting Arabella call you Nana." I replied. She just smiled and hugged me.
Rory and Arabella arrived back and we had to pack up. All three of us were sad to be leaving. We promised Lorelei we would come back soon. Rory was different today. She touched me more. Not sexual touches just little things. We went to Luke's for lunch and then headed back to New Haven. When we arrived back at my apartment Arabella was asleep. It was early so Rory and I just sat on the couch. I found a note from Colin. He said that Logan might be on to us just to let us know. He had left and went back to Steph's I guess he didn't want to be in the middle. When Rory saw the note she looked at me sadly and asked me to hold her. I just did as she asked. I no longer cared what would happen with Logan. I only cared about Rory and I knew I would never treat her as he had.
