December

Stars Hollow…..

"Mom, Come On" Rory shouted. She was standing outside of Doose's market, her hands full with bags of food. "Sookie's waiting"

"I'm coming" Lorelai shouted back. She was standing inside the shop, blocking the entrance/exit with her bag, which she had set down on the floor whilst she put her gloves and scarf on.

"Mom" Rory shouted again

"Ooooo Rory, calm down, Logan won't be here for another 3 hours, dinner will be ready by then"

"Not if you take another 3 hours putting your gloves on"

"Ok, do you know what, I'm just going to put my gloves in my pockets and walk outside carrying these heavy bags al the way too Sookie's house, putting more and more strain on my tired hands until eventually they freeze up and all of the food that we have just bought gets dropped and in thrown to the floor."

"Ok, I'm leaving you now" Rory said starting to walk away from the market

"No, Rory wait" Lorelai shouted. She quickly shoved her gloves on and wrapped her scarf around her neck and picked up her grocery bags. "I'm coming" Lorelai shouted after Rory as she came stumbling out of the shop doors and ran across the town square to reach Rory.

"I knew you'd come" Rory added simply.

"Sookie, we're here" Lorelai shouted, walking in behind Rory and closing the door behind her with her foot

"Hey Kid's, I'm in the kitchen" Sookie said excitedly

"We brought everything you wanted now make it into a dinner" Lorelai said. She put the bags of groceries down on the counter and made an obvious sigh directed at Rory.

Rory stuck her tongue out at Lorelai whilst setting her own bags down on the side.

"Thanks so much you guys, I'm so excited, I can't wait, 4 days till Christmas!" Sookie Chanted.

"Sweetie, you're worse than the kids" Lorelai pointed out. She watched Davey and Martha sitting at the table making Christmas shapes out of play-doh.

"I know, I just can't help it, I get way too excited this time of year" Sookie explained

"I know what you mean, there's something so special about this Christmas, I mean Luke put up decorations in the diner, he never does that, not in all the years I've known him has he ever decorated the diner. I remember the many many fights that happened every holiday between him and Taylor and this morning, Taylor walked into the diner and said 'Nice decorations Luke' and Luke just said 'Thanks Taylor, what can I get you'! I mean what is wrong with him, I think that he has been way too influenced by April" Lorelai chattered happily, Sookie watched as Lorelai smiled and laughed so broadly and openly, it was a smile that Sookie hadn't seen in years and she was so glad that it was finally back.

"Hey so, I'm gonna go and pick Eden up and get her ready for tonight" Rory said, breaking the scene of admiration going on between Sookie and Lorelai.

"Ok see you kid" Lorelai shouted after Rory

"See you Hun" Sookie added.

"Hey" Lorelai answered the phone after running down the stairs to catch it

"Erm hi, Lorelai it's me Logan" Logan said, he hadn't spoken to Lorelai in a while, it felt weird talking to her

"Hey, Rory's not here right now, can I take a message" Lorelai said doing her makeup in the mirror whilst resting the phone between her ear and her shoulder

"Well I didn't want to talk to Rory, I wanted to talk to you" Logan explained

"Ok, shoot" Lorelai said

"Ok so, I was wondering what you were getting Rory for Christmas?" Logan asked

"Erm I got her a couple of DVDs and a really hilarious t-shirt. I didn't know what else t get her, I mean she a millionaire for G-d's sake, I don't know what you buy a millionaire for Christmas. How about you, what are you getting her?" Lorelai explained then fired the question back at Logan

"Well I wanted to get her something meaningful but I didn't know what she would find meaningful so I bough her a new palm pilot and the video ipod" Logan answered

"hmmm" Lorelai sighed

"Do you think she'll like it?" Logan begged to know

"Well I'm sure she'll be really pleased and love it, but you said you were going for meaningful and o offence but I don't see how that would be meaningful. Mean unless you guys have some sort of little giggly story to do with palm pilots of video ipods, do you?" Lorelai asked

"No" Logan muttered, "so you're saying is should have another look"

"Yes I am, and let me give you another tip"

"Sure"

"Look at it through another persons eyes. Let's say there's a guy called Charlie and he has a beautiful ex-girlfriend let's call her Mary and he has 2 beautiful children with her and of course he still loves her and she still loves him. Now it's Christmas and Charlie wants to buy Mary something meaningful, but you see Charlie has a mortgage to pay and he doesn't make a lot of money, he has bills and other outgoing payments so what he's going to buy Mary has to be meaningful but it's not going to be expensive. Do you see where I'm going with this Logan?"

"Not really" Logan answered puzzled as to why he had just been told a story about 2 made up people.

"Logan you have to pretend you don't have money, well you have money but not a lot. If you have only say 100 then you're less likely to buy something materialistic and more likely to but something meaningful" Lorelai explained in all her wisdom.

"So what you saying is meaningful comes cheap?" Logan questioned, looking for a simple way out or Lorelai's gift buying riddle

"Yeah basically" Lorelai said simply

"Ok so 100 dollars" Logan sighed, trying to get his head around the small amount of cash Lorelai had assigned him. It wasn't as if he didn't know how to shop with a budget, it was just he had always spent a lot more than 100 dollars on any Christmas or birthday present and he really needed this one to be special.

"Yeah, now I gotta go, now have fun and I'll see you in a couple of hours." Lorelai said hanging up the phone.

"Hey Luke" Lorelai sat down at the counter and looked up at Luke, smiling cheekily at Luke

"Hey" Luke said looking at Lorelai as if she was up to something suspicious

"So Lukey have you done your Christmas shopping yet" Lorelai questioned, looking around the diner as if searching for evidence that Luke had been shopping

"Don't call me that" Luke said plainly, looking down and writing in his notebook

"So have you?" Lorelai asked again

"Forget it, I'm not showing you what I've got you" Luke said knowing exactly what was coming next

"So can you tell me?" Lorelai tried

"I'm not telling you either" Luke said

"Well what am I supposed to do" Lorelai asked putting on a sad face

"Wait until Christmas morning and you'll find out" Luke retorted trying his best to ignore Lorelai's attempts at bribing him into showing her with her sad face.

"Where's the fun in that" Lorelai said stubbornly crossing her arms moodily

"It's a surprise" Luke said smiling at Lorelai

"And that's meant to be fun?" Lorelai asked

"Is every season wasted on you?" Luke wondered

"Coffee please" Lorelai looked at Luke and stuck a cup in front of him

"Fine" Luke poured coffee into Lorelai's mug and then walked off leaving Lorelai smiling. She was happy.

Rory had spent 3 hours getting ready. She'd showered, done her make up, changed, changed again, re-done her make up and then changed again. She was so nervous. This would be her first Christmas with the boys since the court order and she just couldn't wait. The whole family. She was back in Stars Hollow; she had her mom and Luke, of course, her 3 children and last but certainly not least Logan. It felt right when she said Logan now, before it used to make her feel scared or full of resentment but now when she said his name her heart melted and she went into like a dreamy sleep, thinking about him made her feel like she was going to burst, it was more than love, it was head over heels, falling over your feet, crying because you're happy love. And most of all she loved feeling this way.

The sound of Logan's car pulling into the drive made Rory jump. She had been in a trance just thinking about how happy she was right now. The door slammed as someone got out of the car and Rory quickly ran to the door. She opened the front door and there he was. Standing there. He smiled at her and dropped the bags he was carrying and let Dylan slide down his waist to stand on the floor. Rory smiled at him and Logan began to move towards her. He grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her into him, holding her close to his body. He tipped her backwards over his arm and lent down to kiss her. He slowly pulled up and looked at her. She looked into his eyes and she was safe, just like that.

"Hey" Logan whispered in her ear as they hugged tightly

"Hi" Rory whispered back

"I missed you" Logan said smiling

"I missed you too" Rory whispered starting to cry.

She pulled away from him and gave him one last look before turning to Dylan who was standing in front of them.

"Hey baby" Rory said looking at him as her eyes continued to ferry out heavy tears. Rory picked him up and held him right up to her body and she gently rocked him, holding his head. All of a sudden she just felt like she had everything and that she would never stop crying, it was perfect.

She looked around to see Levi standing down beside her feet. She let Dylan down and knelt down next to Levi. She took hold of his hand and looked at him. Levi was crying.

"Hey, sweetie, what's wrong?" Rory asked, wiping the tears from her face

"I missed you" Levi replied his voice mumbling through the tears. Then he quickly put his arms around Rory's neck and let her hug him tightly. He didn't want her to ever let go.
