Author's note : I am sorry for not updating earlier. This year has started on a whim and I can't seem to catch my breath. I was also a bit at a loss with inspiration. I think I need to conclude this story and I hope you'll enjoy this epilogue …

I hope you like it... enjoy!

Rory was sitting at the table just looking and admiring the decorations. The wedding had been perfect, the decorations were just beautiful, not something she would have gone for herself, still it was perfect for the bride. She looked around the room and spotted Finn. He winked at her and smiled broadly. He always looked handsome, she smiled thinking about her days in College where he was the life of the party. It was still more or less the same but not for the same reason. Finn would always attract attention by his personality and charisma. This was probably where they both differed so much. She herself did not enjoy being center of attention, but today, it did not matter. She was, after all only the bride's mother in law. She turned around and looked at Meghan. She was stunning in a wedding gown. She could have been a model or an actress if she had wanted to. But Meghan had chosen to go into journalism. Rory was so proud of her. Meghan had went to Harvard instead of Yale. It was not out of rebellion, she had followed her friends. She was suddenly brought back from her reverie by the voices of her own children.

"Mom! Mom!"

"Yes! Sorry… what is it hun?"

"Do you think Meghan would mind if we went back home. We need to get back tomorrow and I'd like to have a good night sleep before."

"Oh, I am sure she'll be fine, just make sure to say bye though. Are you leaving with your brother?"

"Nah, He is sitting with Uncle Colin talking about law and stuff. I'll leave with Grandma Lorelai, she is tired anyway."

"That's good, don't let her convince you to a movie night though. What time are you planning to leave tomorrow?"

"Around 11?"

"OK, we'll do our traditional Sunday waffle breakfast before you kids get on your way. Just ask Justin to let me know if he leaves with you. You'll take the service car?"

"Yes mom. Talk to you tomorrow."

"For sure. Goodnight hun."

Rory looked at Gabrielle walking toward her older brother and she felt her life had given her everything she could have ever wanted. She had raised 3 kids. Only two of them had been her own but all three were equal to her. Meghan had been so sweet to her younger siblings.

Meghan was now 24. She had started to work right after College for a Newspaper owned by Logan. He had always said he did not pull any strings but Rory doubted him a bit. She would never ask though. Her son was starting University in the fall. He wanted to be a lawyer just like his uncle Colin. They had always had a strong bond; he had inherited her love of books and learning. He wanted to go into Environmental law. Gabrielle, 16 was more like her father but her outgoing personality brought her into theater. She wanted to make movies that would change the world as she always said. She was the official photographer of the family, she really had an eye to bring everything to life even in a picture.

At that moment, their song came on… She smiled remembering her own wedding, she looked towards where Finn had stood just a minute ago but saw he was now standing beside her holding his hand requesting for the dance. She smiled and got up without saying a word, holding her husband's hand.

As they settled on the dance floor Finn whispered in her ears

"Mrs Morgan, you are still the most beautiful woman in the room."

"Well thank you Mr Morgan, and you the most charismatic without a doubt."

"Gotta be, ain't I father of the bride?"

"And how do you feel now that she is married?"

"I know they love each other, I just wish they had not decided to move all the way to the west coast. Do you think they are trying to get away from us?"

"Finn, you know it's not about us. She needs to create her world, away from society. Here, everyone seems to think her name or her connections put her where she is at, not her talent."

"Is that why you had refused Logan? You thought people would assume you would have gotten in because of him."

"Partly, yes. But mostly because it did not feel right."

"Ah but with me…"

"With you, I felt at home. Do you remember our wedding?"

"I would never forget, best day of my life."

"Even though I gave you the scare of your life?"

"Even though you scared me to life, yes. When you called me to the room that morning, I thought you had changed your mind. Little did I know you were about to tell me I would be a father again." Finn said closing his eyes again thinking about that day.

It was almost 2 pm. In about an hour he will be married again. It is funny this time was his second marriage but he felt so much more stress and excitement than he did at his first. The reason, this time he was getting married to the love of his life. He knew he could never feel for someone else the way he felt for Rory. He had proposed quickly, that was true, that was 7 month ago, he remembered and they had been together for at the most 1 year. But he was sure.

"Toc toc toc"

Finn jumped as he was brought back to reality.

"Yes?" He said as he answered the door.

He was surprise to see Lorelei on the other side of the door.

"Hey Finn, sorry to bother you but you need to come with me."

"Where? I am not completely dressed yet." And he gestured to show he was not completely done putting on his tuxedo.

"Rory needs to speak to you."

"But I can't see her in her dress." As he was saying it, he felt dumb believing in that tradition that a groom should not see his bride in her dress before the ceremony but he could not help, with Rose, he had seen her and his first marriage had been a sham and a disaster for both of them.

"She is not dressed yet either…"

This made his blood drain. He suddenly felt ill. He still followed Lorelei, thinking he would learn that Rory had changed her mind and did not want to spend the rest of her life with him.

When they got to the door, he took a deep breath and walked in. He found Rory sitting on a table her back to the door and looking at something on the dresser.

"Rory?"

She jumped when she heard him.

She turned and when she saw the look in Finn's face she saw that he was scared.

"Are you ok Finn? Do you want to sit?"

"Do I need to?"

"Come closer to me, there is something I need to discuss with you" Rory said trying to sound calm and detach even though she felt bubbly and so happy.

Hearing this he got more worried about what was to come. He started to walk toward his girlfriend, oh god he hoped she would still be his.

As he got closer he tried to look on the table to see what Rory was looking at. It seemed to be a white pen. As he was understanding what was in front of him, Rory started to smile.

"So Finn, how about a new little Morgan kid running around in the house?"

"You mean… "

"Yes"

"We… you are pregnant again?"

"Yes I am. I actually am already on my 8th week Finn."

"But, you… why didn't I know it?"

"I didn't either Finn."

"This is real?"

"Yes."

Finn just picked Rory up and kissed her , just holding her and enjoying the moment.

After a little while, he just looked at Rory and said "Thank you Mrs Morgan. And how about we show the world how much we love each other…"

"Well, that is an idea Mr Morgan."

"So what do you say we get married right here right now." He said smiling.

"Let's get it going then." She answered nodding.

Finn kissed her again and he left the room so both could get ready.

Both were lost in thoughts of their own wedding. Their wedding had been a small scale society wedding. It was classic and traditional but had few guests. Only those close to the couple at the time. It had been held in New York and Finn's family had joined them to celebrate. Their marriage had been successful but it does not mean there had not been any rough patches. But even in their rougher parts, Finn never drank again. Honestly, he did not touch alcohol again knowing if he did, he would fall.

Rory had stopped working full time or the Magazine after the birth of her son but was a free agent. She did some pieces for them, for National Geographic, for the NY Times and other renown newspaper bringing the entire family when her destination was not dangerous. She chose her assignment and since she did not need the work for her living, she had a blast anytime she was on assignments. She also helped with Finn's company writing documents and guides for the gamers. The first time was during her first pregnancy and she was not allowed to fly. While she stayed at home, she would get restless so Finn suggested she come in with him one day to review documents. She loved it. She actually started playing with Meghan at some of the games and ended up writing most of the guides for games for pre-K.

As their song finished, Finn whispered in her ears

"So how about we get home soon."

"Yes, we need to be up before 9 to prepare everything for the family breakfast."

"Yeah… it will be the first one without Meghan."

"I'll miss her." Rory said and added "Even though she was not living with us for the last few years, I will still miss her coming in and calling out for me to ask advice."

As they approached the celebrated couple, Rory started to feel the tears forming. She took a deep breath.

"Hey Dad, Mom, you are still here?"

"Yes, but we will get going, tomorrow is family breakfast and we don't want to break tradition."

Both realized while Finn said it that tradition was changing anyway since Meghan had always made the pancakes with Finn. Meghan herself looked suddenly saddened by the new.

Rory picked up on the mood.

"But you are welcomed anytime Megabug. Just call and we'll save you a seat."

"Can I come tomorrow?"

"Meghan, are you sure you'll feel like a family breakfast on the first day of your marriage?"

"Probably not hug! But next week, we are coming back on Friday to pack up our stuff and send it to San Diego. So we'll join you then. I'll even be there at 8 to start preparing."

"You'll be waking us up!" Rory said laughing. "Is everything settled for your stay out west?" Rory did not want to ask if Rosemary had made all arrangements for their arrival, still she did not want to ask bluntly.

"Yes, Rose had our room prepared. She is doing better this time. I feel it."

Finn was sad to hear once again the hope in his daughter's voice. She had been disappointed so many times already. Rosemary had stayed sober for 15 years when she had gone to rehab when Rory and Finn had gotten together. Finn had played father figure for Matthew until Rosemary remarried and moved out west. Matthew was then 11 years old. He did not take well to the separation from his "father" and sister. He ran away coming to New York a few times during his teenage year and had always been welcomed to Finn's place as long as he respected the rules. That is when she had started to take pills and drink again. Her relationship with her son already shaky by his rebellion against her marriage had shattered the little confidence she had and she has started to drink again. She was on and off the bottle promising to her two kids that this time was the last… it never was. She was back to being consumed by jealousy towards Finn and Rory as even her own son preferred living in New York than with her in San Diego.

Matthew had moved back to New York to live with his grandparents and get closer to Finn. He had chosen to study in New York University and was not getting settled in Rory's old house that they kept and rented, Meghan had lived there for the last few years.

Neither Rory nor Finn had the heart to let Meghan know they doubted Rose in her confirmation she was now completely sober from both alcohol and pills. Still Meghan was happy to start her new life close to a familiar face. She wanted to get to know her mom a bit better. Rose, on her side, was excited by the prospect of having one of her kid close to her and furthermore, away from Finn. She felt it was a bit her revenge.

(Note from the author : Rosemary will screw her relationship with Meghan when she will babysit her grandchild one day and get caught drunk when Meghan came to pick the baby up. Afterward, Meghan would still see her mother but never did she trust her again and never made plan not to disappoint her kid).

At that moment Finn saw that Rosemary was getting closer, he took Rory's hand before she arrived to their level.

"So, saying goodbye to your Father Meghan?"

"Exactly mom. I was just letting them know that I will be back next week to meet with them and spend a few weeks back east before the big move."

Rosemary looked at Finn but only saw a proud smile on his face.

"Oh." Rosemary was deceived as she had been hoping to see Finn angry or hurt by Meghan's decision to go west.

"So , we'll get going Meghan. Once again, Congratulations and call us when you land. Rosemary, always nice to see you well."

"Yes, nice to see both of you also." She answered in a cold voice.

She knew if only she had been able not to take Matthew's leaving her on Finn, they would still be on speaking terms. She had created the drift and knew it would never go back. At least, she was still on speaking terms with Logan and Stephanie… She walked back to her husband of the moment and put on her best society face. She really had turned into her own parents.

Finn and Rory hugged Meghan and Rory could not help but cry a bit. She was so proud of Meghan. And just before she let Rory go, Meghan told her "I love you Mom… I'll miss you most I think."

"You know we'll be a second away with cells, pc's we can talk all the time."

"yeah. So talk to you tomorrow when we land." On this she went back with her husband to their friends who were also celebrating their moving out of state.

Since Logan and Colin had both already left, they made their way to the valet to get their car back. The drive would be nice and quiet. Both loved their conversation in the car when they were alone. Tonight they had a lot to talk about… Tomorrow they would find themselves alone in their house for the first time since they had gotten married. Both felt as if it was a second honeymoon. They knew without a doubt they would enjoy it as long as they could.

The end
