Chapter 10

A couple days later, Rory stood in her room surrounded by boxes of her stuff. Dean had helped Rory find an apartment in Hartford and she also helped him find one too because he had to move out of his, Gen was the one who bought the house so she asked to move.

As she was packing she heard a buzzing noise, it was her phone. She rummaged through the clothes she hadn't packed yet on her bed trying to find it before it stopped ringing. She accidentally stepped on a box and felt the buzzing coming from there; she opened the box to finally find her phone.

She thought 'how'd that get in there?'

Rory answered her phone with a flustered voice. "Hello?"

"Rory? You okay?" Dean says with a slight tone of worry in his voice. "Dean! Uh yeah I'm just packing up my stuff and managed to pack my phone so I was running around trying to find it." She said giggling slightly.

"Oh Rory, you crack me up." He said chuckling. "Anyways, why'd you call?" Rory asks Dean kind of worried about what he was going to say.

"Um I think we need to talk about the other night, dinner at mine...say 6?" Dean asks a little bit nervous for the talk as he wanted to ask her to be his girlfriend.

"Uh sure. 6 it is! See you then!" Rory said with a huge grin on her face before hanging up.

A couple of hours later it was 5:30 and Rory was actually ready for once, her makeup was done, her hair was done, everything was done and she was very shocked with herself.

Lorelai came into Rory's room with a smile on her face. "What? Do I look like crap? I should change right?" Rory started to panic. "No babe, you look beautiful. You got a date?" Lorelai asks Rory still with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, Dean asked me to meet at his place at 6, I'm so nervous mom. He sounded nervous himself, what if he only sees me as a friend? Or is getting back with Gen-" Rory rambles to her mother.

"Hun, every time I see him look at you he has heart eyes and I'm pretty sure he has never stopped loving you." Lorelai says truthfully.

"Really? I've never stopped loving him either." Rory says with a smile on her face.

When Rory pulled up to his apartment building, she sat in her car trying to calm her breathing. Meanwhile Dean was in the kitchen, he had finished cooking dinner and was now waiting for Rory to show up. He was getting a little bit worried as it was 6:15 and she wasn't here yet.

He decided to look out the window to see if he could see her, as he looked out of the window he spotted the familiar car and the girl herself at the wheel. He saw her breathing in and out and slightly panicking, he chuckled a little.

Finally after it felt like hours, Rory got out of her car and began to walk up to his apartment. She got the courage to knock on the door and Dean opened it with a smile on his face.

"Hey, sorry I'm late traffic was bad." Rory lies, whilst Dean chuckles softly.

"Are you sure? Because I saw you sat in your car having a nervous breakdown." Dean states laughing slightly.

Rory blushes a deep red, "Okay fine, yes I was in my car having a nervous breakdown okay? As I once said 'A little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl'" Rory admits to herself and to Dean.

"It's okay Rory, I'm nervous too." Dean smiles a little.

'God that smile is going to kill me one day' Rory thought.

Once they sat down to eat, there was an awkward silence in the air and Dean was starting to get restless, wanting to ask Rory already.

"So, we should talk about the other night?" Dean says trying to get Rory to speak her thoughts.

"Yes. The other night. It was...good." Rory says staring at her food and moving the food around the plate.

"Just good? Or?" Dean says trying to get Rory to admit to liking it.

"It was perfect. It was the perfect night." Rory finally days looking up to meet Dean's eyes.

"Good, because I want many more nights like that. Rory I want to ask you something, well actually my kids wanted to do it so Tom, Shep!" Dean called to his children that were in their Dad's room.

They walked towards Rory and Dean with the cutest smiles on their faces.

"Daddy wants to know if you will be his girlfriend." Tom, his eldest said.

"Omg Dean that is so cute, of course I will!" Rory says tears filling up her eyes. She got up and hugged Dean, she would kiss him but she thought she would wait until the kids aren't here.

"Daddy and me and Tom wanted to know if you want to move in with us!" Shep asked Rory excitedly.

"But what about my apartment?" Rory asks Dean. "You didn't buy it, I made it look like you did but you didn't." Dean says nervously.

"Omg you're sneaky! Of course I will move in with you!" Rory says not wanting to wait anymore she grabbed his face and kissed him in the lips.

Rory and Dean were sat on Dean's couch cuddled into each other.

"I'm having one of those moments right now." Rory says remembering the first time she said that.

"What moments?" Dean plays along with Rory.

"One of those moments that everything is so perfect and so wonderful that you almost feel sad because nothing can ever be this good again." Rory smiles. "So, basically, I'm depressing you." Dean responds looking at Rory. "Yup."

"You're very weird." Dean says getting nervous, thinking about what happened last time this conversation happened.

"And you're wonderful." Rory leans into dean and kisses him on the lips.

"Rory?" Dean asks shakiness in his voice. "Yeah?"

"I love you." Dean says closing his eyes waiting for the reaction he was expecting.

"Dean, open you eyes." Rory said grabbing his face. "I love you too." And dean finally calms down and grabs Rory's face and kisses her lips hard, afraid she would leave.

"That's how it should've gone." Rory says admitting she was wrong back then. "I did love you then I promise I just didn't know how to get it out of my head and out of my mouth."

"It's fine Rory, I shouldn't have acted out the way I did. I was just so hurt; I thought that you didn't love me." Dean admits.

"I will always love you, you idiot." Rory says both smiling to each other. They both leaned into each other and kissed.

"Stay here tonight?" Dean says on her lips. "Well it is our house now, let me just text my mom so she doesn't freak out like last time." Rory says pulling her phone out and texting her mom that she was staying at Dean's tonight.

"All done!" Rory says leaning back into Dean but he quickly pecks her lips, "I'll just go put the kids to bed and then I'll be back okay?" Rory nods with a smile.

Rory sighs in content, finally happy.

A/N: another chapter finally! I just wanted to say that I'm basing Dean's wife on Jared Padalecki's wife Gen and Dean's kids on his kids Tom and Shep, I love Gen to pieces so the way she is in this book isn't what I think about her and I love their kids I think they are gorgeous!
