After karaoke Darren and Chris had gone to their rooms, Colin and Steph went into their room in the suite, Robert and April shared a room in the suite, Marcum slept on a pullout couch, Rosemary, Logan, and Juliet went to the royal suite and slept in their own rooms.
December 24th
Finn and Rory wake up to the amazing smell of fresh coffee and food and get out of bed, they are quiet, and whoever was in the kitchen didn't hear them walking. Rory and Finn stood in the hall for a minute watching Robert and April interact and to see if they would even notice them, She was sitting on the table with him between her legs and her arms and legs wrapped around him kissing passionately. Finn cleared his throat and made both Robert and April jump apart quickly.
"Sorry to interrupt, mate," Finn says
"You two were so into what you were doing..." Rory says laughing
"Sorry about that, I'm sure you Don't want to see that," Robert says
"I don't care as long as your not doing anything dirty," Rory says
"Breakfast and coffee are on the table if you care to join us," April says
"Thank you. It's actually what woke us up at as Finn would say this ungodly hour. How are you two up and cheery?" Rory asks
"Easy we stayed up and talked and stuff all night," Robert says
"Well that works I guess, So Robert what are your plans for the day?" Rory asks
"Just hanging around New York," Robert says
"No, your coming to stars hollow for the big Gilmore/Danes Christmas Eve," Rory says smirking
"What... But your mom and Luke... they will skin me alive" Robert says
"You have to start interacting with family things if you want them to warm up to the idea of... (Rory says pointing back and forth between Robert and April). You will just act like close friends when they are near, and you can canoodle when they aren't around, Me and Finn will help cover. Remember it's at the Gilmore estate this year and as Robert knows there's always the sub-party and we can lock the pool house doors" Rory says
"Your mom will allow that?" April asks
"She will insist I'm sure since the Huntzburger's will be there, she would join if she could, but grandma makes her stay," Rory says
"Oh I get it, you will use the sub-party as an excuse to get away from the huntzburger's as much as possible" April says
"We will all have to make a few appearances through the night but not all at the same time thankfully" Finn says
"Well, darling what do you think, I escort you to the party?" Robert asks
"I believe that it will make the evening even better having you there," April says
"Will Huntz be joining us also?" Robert asks
"His parents insisted he come, I think they are trying to pair him up with someone again," Finn says
"Wouldn't be surprised if they were already arranging another marriage with some trophy wife who's fresh out of Yale, Grandma did tell me some Yale alumni are coming with their children" Rory says
"We will see if it's the female version of the male Yale party for Logan," Finn says
"Male Yale party?" April asks
"Yes in my 2nd year of Yale grandma and grandpa invited their Yale friends and their sons to come to a party, turns out they were trying to find me a boyfriend/husband, problem being I had a boyfriend already," Rory says
"Logan?" April asks
"No, Dean. Logan did get me out of talking to a guy by pretending to be my longtime boyfriend. Then after that, I lost track of time, and Dean was picking me up... well the whole sub-party escorted me out front, and Dean decided to break up with me after that Logan, Finn, Colin, and Robert took me back into the sub-party and cheered me up. Since then they have been my source of cheering up." Rory says
"Ahh yes I remember that evening, a little bit," Finn says
*Flashback to the male Yale party*
"so who's it going to be " Logan asks
"What?" Rory asks
"Well this shindig is an obvious meat market, your grandparents are expecting you to chose someone tonight so," Logan says
" Me, Pick me," Finn says holding roses on one knee
"No pick me," Robert says
"No pick me," Colin says
"But I'm exotic," Finn says
"So is the Asian bird flu," Colin says
"Wow, a room full of guys it's still extremely slim pickings," Logan says
"Well I don't know, it would be a pretty tough choice, maybe I should let my boyfriend help me choose," Rory says
"You have a boyfriend?" Logan asks
"I'm crushed, " Finn says standing up
"Isn't it always the way?" Colin says
"Richard and Emily know about this?" Logan asks
"Yeah," Rory says
"They just trying to make sure you have a backup, " Logan asks
"No there just... oh no what time is it, " Rory asks looking around for the time
"It's crying time," Finn says
"It's 8:45," Colin says
"Dean is meeting me at 8:30" Rory says
"Where?" Logan asks
"Here out front, " Rory says rushing to put her shoes on and get to him
"Dean is this the boyfriend," Logan asks
"Yes this is the boyfriend," Rory says
"Well we have to see this guy," Logan says
"What," Rory says
"See who the man is who's won your heart, got to make sure he's good enough, let's go, boys," Logan says as he stands up
Everyone gets ready to follow Rory out the front door
"You coming?" Logan asks Rory
Rory walks out the front door followed by the guys
"Dean Hi, I'm sorry have you been waiting long? I didn't have a watch, and we were in the pool house. These are some friends they go to Yale with me, and they know my grandparents. The party was so boring... is that a new shirt Cuz I like it?" Rory asks
"What am I doing here Rory?" Dean asks
"Your picking me up," Rory says
"I don't belong here... not anymore... do I?" Dean asks
"Dean..." Rory says giving Dean a sad look
"You look good," Dean says before he turns around to get in his truck and drive away
Rory watches dean drive away with her arms crossed as she starts to cry, Logan and the guys walk up behind her
"You ok," Logan asks in a hushed tone
"No mom not," Rory says
"Ok that's it, back to the pool house men we have some serious bucking up to do here," Logan says
"I Swiped some scotch'" Colin says
"I'll re-enact passion of the Christ," Finn says
"Come on Ace... nothing seems quite as bad after Finns passion of the Christ except Finns passion of the Christ" Logan says as St hey turn around, and he puts his arm around her shoulders
*Back to the present time*
Colin and Steph enter the dining area and sit down to eat
"Morning" Colin says
"Morning, eat what you can," Robert says
"I seem to remember you asking you to chose me because I'm exotic and Colin saying something about the Asian bird flu. You finally chose me after all these years" Finn says
"Yes I remember that, it only took 13 years, a few failed relationships and one depressed, drunken night of I'm sure fantastic sex to get us here," Rory says smiling
"I guarantee it was fantastic for both of us," Finn says smirking
"I know you do, and it's part of how you hooked me," Rory says smiling
"Gross, don't need to hear the dirty talk," April says jokingly
"Just be glad we didn't hear the dirty stuff happening, I've been told things..." Robert says
"Shush Robert," Finn says
"Oh.. so much for "We don't tell each other every detail," I think you fibbed," Rory says looking at Finn
"I didn't mean too... I just corrected what Logan had said. He told them you aren't very vocal..." Finn says
"Let me see it was a "You just need to know what you're doing" kind of dig at Logan?" Rory asks
"Damn straight, we know the real reason you married him was to secure the sex for life," Robert says
Rory walks away face palm's and smiles
"That's not the only thing I wanted to be mind forever," Rory says as she kept walking towards the master bedroom to change
"She married me for my talents and equipment," Finn says motioning to his pelvic region before he walked towards the room following Rory
"Oh my God... that was just... Dirty and so not what I wanted to hear" April says
"Get used to it around us as long as both parties are OK with things being divulged then it sometimes happens," Robert says
"I guess I will just get used to it, and if the time comes I'm ok with some details being said but not every gory detail," April says
"good to know darling, I will be a gentleman and keep the dirty bits quiet. for the record I'm ok with you divulging anything if it comes up, most of my friend have seen me naked at least once" Robert says smiling
"Good to know I don't need to hold back all details if I don't want too. I'm also not going to ask you why they have all seen you naked as I may not exactly want to know but I can guess" April says
"Not as naughty as most would think," Robert says
"good to know, we should probably get ready for this party tonight, I will have to ask Rory if I can borrow something of hers since I didn't know it was going to be a mega fancy party," April says
"I have to buy something to wear tonight, you should come give your opinion on what I should wear since I am escorting you I wouldn't want to embarrass you," Robert says
"Is that your way of saying you want to keep me as close to you as humanly possible while we can?" April asks
"You saw right through me, I thought I was coy about it," Robert says laughing
"no, I just feel the same way, be as close as possible while we can freely do so," April says
After Colin and Steph have a cup of coffee and sit down
"Steph your looking radiant this morning" Robert says
"Bite me asshole... i just finished puking" Steph says in a grumpy tone
"Baby not playing nice today' April ask
"No, baby's mad, it wanted something in the middle of the night that I can't eat... lobster," Steph says
"Yikes, well eat up and wish me luck today," Robert says
"You act as if your going to die," Colin says
"I just might... I'm going to the Gilmore/Danes Christmas Eve at the Gilmore estate with Finn, Rory, April, and Logan... getting in with the family in the hopes when they find out about us it lessens the flip out" Robert says
"Good idea, just don't get caught making out by another family member who will flip," Steph says
"We already have a sub-party in the pool house plan that Rory came up with," April says
"Good, we don't need to go to a funeral between Christmas and new years," Colin says laughing
"Not funny, I'm actually worried because of my past behavior in front of Lorelai and Aprils dad, plus remember the Tarantino party date..." Robert says
"I'm sure they either won't remember or will see you have grown up and changed, just don't do anything stupid," Steph says
"Easier said than done, have you not seen this woman, she's hard to resist," Robert says
"Especially on a table first thing in the morning," Rory says walking back to the living room
