Christmas Eve

The Dragonfly Inn…..

"Ok Sookie, may I ask you a question?" Lorelai asked

"Shoot" Sookie replied, her flour covered face emerging form the cooker.

"Right, I don't mean to sound at all negative, but I was just wondering when you think this meal will be ready?" Lorelai asked. She had held out for an extra half an hour but Eden was getting restless and it was already 8pm.

"Well by my calculations it should be ready in erm, 4 hours. No wait, that's wrong. 4 minutes" Sookie said laughing at herself

"Oh good" Lorelai said fake laughing as she backed out of the kitchen.

It was Christmas eve and time for a tradition that had started 5 years ago, right after Rory left. The In closed for 3 days at Christmas, so Lorelai, Sookie and Michel and family all gathered at the inn for a sort of pre-Christmas meal. Of course Michel spent the entire time complaining, Sookie spent it in the kitchen, Jackson spent it trying to keep Martha and Davey sitting down and Lorelai and Luke were made to look like the sane ones. But even still, year after year the tradition continued, but this year it was different, this year Rory was there ad Logan and all of the children. Lorelai felt happy, like not just I bought a pair of new shoes happy, but really happy.

"Logan grab him quick" Rory shouted as Dylan made a dash for the open door. Michel just looked down as Dylan ran past him and out of the door.

"Michel" Lorelai moaned

"What?" Michel said, honestly not knowing what he had done wrong.

"You know I feel really sorry for the woman whose gonna have your kids" Lorelai said without thinking

"That'd be me then" a beautiful woman said emerging from the doorway as Logan ran past her running after Dylan. The woman was tall and beautiful her skin was dark and her face bright and alive. She was thin and tall and her stomach was bulging with being pregnant.

"Oh hey, Michel you're supposed to warn me about this kind of stuff." Lorelai said pointing her angry eyes at Michel then turning to smile at the woman and getting up to shake her hand "Sorry, my names Lorelai"

"Hi, I'm Kate" The woman said. Also extending her hand out to Lorelai

"Lorelai, everyone this is Kate, my fiancé" Michel announced proudly.

Lorelai was truly shocked, she hadn't expected this and most of all she was shocked that Michel hadn't told her this. I mean yes he kept himself to himself, but this was big, he was getting married, he was going to be a dad.

A mumbling of congratulations was heard from around the table, broken by Logan running back through the lobby chasing Dylan who had mud all over his face.

"Logan, how did he get like that" Rory got up complaining

"I dunno, he just came running through the lobby and he had mud o his face" Logan explained

"Well I can see that" Rory said sarcastically

"ok, you stand there and I'll stand here and we'll block him" Logan directed

"Good Idea" Rory agreed, getting into position. Dylan ran towards her and upon seeing her turned around and ran straight into Logan

"Yes!" Logan celebrated picking Dylan up under the arms. "Oh Dylan" Logan said looking down at his trousers covered in mud. "I'll go change him" Logan said to Rory.

"Dinner is served" Sookie said coming out of the kitchen carrying a huge silver tray in front of her covered in all kinds of Christmas treats.

"Sookie, what happened to your face" Jackson asked seriously as Lorelai looked up and started to laugh.

"I burnt a few things" Sookie answered defensively

"A few" Lorelai commented giggling into Luke's shoulder so that Sookie wouldn't see.

Sookie placed the whole tray in the centre of the table and sat down in her seat. Everyone reached out quickly for food and drink and the party started as usual. It felt so special this year though, knowing that tomorrow instead of there being just 2 measly presents under Lorelai and Luke's tree there would be loads and the house would be filled with noise and laughter not boredom and sadness. This is what Lorelai had wanted for years a family of her own to share Christmas with.

"So I'll see you tomorrow" Sookie said waving goodnight to Lorelai and Luke. Michel and Kate had already left and Logan and Dylan were asleep upstairs.

Lorelai Luke, Logan, Rory and the children were spending the night at the inn and then driving to Lorelai's n the morning.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow Sookie, Merry Christmas" Lorelai shouted back

"Bye honey" Sookie shouted as Lorelai closed the door.

"So, looks like its you and me Lukey" Lorelai smiled as she dragged Luke over to the sofa

"What did I say about….." Luke moaned but was interrupted by Lorelai putting her finger over his mouth.

"Please, it's Christmas" she whispered in his ear.

"Just because it's Christmas" he muttered. Lorelai smiled as Luke held her in his arms, she lay down on his lap, her legs curled up on the sofa.

Lorelai slowly drifted off to sleep as Luke lay looking at her, stroking her hair.

"I love you" he whispered.

Logan lay in bed, thinking about everything. He was thinking about what his life would be like when Rory came to back California, would she and Eden move in with him or would he and the boys move in with them. He hadn't realised how many things had to be thought over now this relationship was back on. The press were bound to find out the second they touched down in LA. The only reason he could think of for why they didn't know now was because they were in Connecticut, a little off the paparazzi's radar.

Logan's thinking was disrupted when Rory snook in through the adjoining bathroom.

"Hey" she said smiling the smile. Logan was taken right then. She moved slowly and lay down next to him on his bed.

"Hey" he replied kissing her softly

"So some crazy party or what" Rory said recalling the events that happened throughout the evening.

"definitely" Logan agreed remembering chasing Dylan around the lobby a third time.

"Far different from any Christmas I ever spent in California" Rory though out loud. Looking back on Christmases before.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Christmas 1 Year Ago

Beverly Hills, Rory and Jack's…..

Rory lay in font of the TV drifting slowly to sleep. It was 2pm. She'd just eaten her Christmas lunch only it wasn't the traditional Christmas lunch; she had had a sandwich and 2 cold pieces of pizza.

Rory had been flicking through the channels for hours. She was waiting for jack to call. But most importantly she was waiting for Levi and Dylan to call her. She couldn't move to reach the phone so she was just sitting and waiting for them to call her so she had to move to get the phone.

Rory was 7 months heavily pregnant and jack ha left her alone for Christmas. He had left 3 days ago to tour Japan and probably wouldn't be back for 2 more weeks. All the other players' wives and children had gone with them but Rory couldn't fly. Even still, jack hadn't even asked if she had wanted to go and he wasn't bright enough to figure out she couldn't fly when she was pregnant on his own. He just didn't care that she wasn't there. If only she had figured it out earlier maybe it wouldn't have taken her so long to leave him.

Rory had never felt so alone. She missed her boys, she missed Logan, she missed her mom, but strangely she didn't miss jack. Somehow she felt glad that jack wasn't here. She didn't spend a lot of time at hoe when jack was around and she had finally figured out why. She didn't really like him. But she couldt leave him, she was pregnant, they were engaged and she had no where else to go.

Rory's train of thought was interrupted by the phone ringing and she was forced to walk over and pick the phone up.

"hello" She said perching herself on the edge of a chair

"hey mommy" Levi shouted

"Hey baby, merry Christmas" Rory perked up, she was happy to here the sound of his voice, he sounded happy

"Guess what mommy, daddy bought me a bike and Dylan got a trampoline, it's huge. And it's in back yard. Come over and see it." Levi boasted he was excited.

"Oh how cool, I'm sure you'll have loads of fun. I'm sorry sweetie, I can't come over you know that" Rory said. She was trying her hardest not to sound disappointed. She just hoped the boys would be as excited about her presents when they got them, 2 weeks from now.

"Aww but its Christmas" Levi begged

"I know but I can't, I have to rest, the baby's very alive and kicking today so I'm lying down" Rory tried with an excuse

"Fine" Levi said sadly and hung up the phone.

"Levi, Levi" Rory shouted down the phone "Hello" a deadened tone sounded and Rory slipped the phone back onto its stand.

She gently moved across to the sofa and lay down. Her eyes began to swell up and tears fell heavily, running down her face. The worst Christmas ever.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Christmas Morning, 2am

The Dragonfly Inn…..

Rory awoke from her sad dream to find herself lying next to Logan, he head rested on his bare chest. She felt at home, like she belonged here, even after the pain she had been feeling this time last year. She didn't feel pain anymore. Now all she felt was happiness and this burning inside her. This burning was longing. Longing to be with Logan all the time. Even when she was with him she felt like she wanted to be closer to him all the time because he could protect her, he was always there for her. He had promised, 'I'll never leave you'.

Logan stirred next to Rory and he opened his eyes to see tears flowing quietly from Rory's.

"What wrong?" He asked quietly and sensitively

"Absolutely nothing" she whispered back and then she laid her head gently back down on Logan's chest and he kissed the top of her head before they both drifted back off to sleep.
