Tuesday and Wednesday followed similarly. The commute getting routine, Rory felt she started fitting in a bit more, etc...but by Wednesday evening, Rory was looking forward to the holiday weekend. Luckily they had made time to make the extra keys and Rory was happy to drop one off at her mom's when visiting to look at the progress on the wedding dress.

Wednesday evening, Rory sits with her laptop on her lap while in the living room, looking at recipes.

"I thought you already found recipes - isn't that why we went shopping right after work?" said Logan, walking in the room and handing Rory a bottle of water.

"I know, I have." said Rory. "But even with Luke planning to swing by early and toss the turkey in the oven, I just want to make sure we know what we are doing. Hope you don't mind Thanksgiving more for lunch...it's just more usual we end up having one at that time and the time seemed to work for others."

"It's fine." said Logan. "Want to go with me to pick up Colin and Finn? They are both flying in and I said I would pick them up."

"If it's okay, I'd rather go ahead and keep reading these." said Rory. "Even with Luke also doing the pies, I want to be sure I'm prepped as much as possible for tomorrow."

"Okay." Logan said, bending to give Rory a kiss before getting his coat, wallet, and keys. "I'll see you in about an hour or so?"

"We'll be here." said Rory jokingly, patting her stomach. The couple exchanged goodbyes and Rory sipped at the water, thinking she would probably have a handle on things tomorrow. While her mom had always refused to learn to cook, she had at least made some attempts over the years and could follow a recipe if she tried.

Deciding the laptop would be in the way tomorrow, she sent the recipes to print and walked into Logan's office to get them out of the printer. Walking into the kitchen, she set them up against the microwave before deciding to go ahead and prep some vegetables.

Rory was just finishing up and getting the dishwasher loaded with the cutting board after carefully washing the knife, she heard people entering. Walking into the foyer, she spotted who she expected. "Welcome boys." Rory said giving Colin and Finn both a hug.

"Rory!" said Finn, giving Rory a huge hug. "You are a sight for tired eyes."

"What Finn said, but I'm less drunk from the flight." said Colin, making Rory laugh. "I told him the little bottles weren't a challenge, but..."

"What else are they for?" said Finn, seemingly confused. "And you're just mad I beat you."

"Whatever." said Colin, while the rest of the group laughed.

"Let me show you two to your rooms." said Logan, grabbing one of the bags.

"Rooms? Swanky Logan." said Finn. "Though we wouldn't expect less of you."

Rory laughed watching the boys go upstairs. They would be a handful, but they were essentially Logan's family. She only hoped nothing would get broken beyond repair. A few minutes later, Logan came walking down the stairs.

"So they are settling in. I never did ask where your grandma is staying." said Logan.

"She has issues wanting to stay with people." Rory said. "I think Mom set her up a room at the inn. And April is staying in my old room. Mom called earlier and said she got in safely."

"That's good news." said Logan, putting his arm around Rory.

"Oooo, the lovebirds." said Finn, coming downstairs, teasing his best friend and the girl he also considered a friend. "I assume we aren't banished to our rooms."

Rory laughed again. Finn would always be Finn. "No, though you might want to help yourself to some coffee."

"Good idea." said Colin, appearing in the kitchen where everyone else is. "At least for him. Is it possible to get some tea though?"

"Sure man." said Logan, getting water in the electric kettle and getting down a selection of teas, picking out one he knew Colin would approve of. "Rory can drink coffee day or night without issues."

"What can I say, it's my super power." said Rory with a shrug, making the boys laugh.

"It only sucks I can only stay until Friday morning." said Finn, sobering up a little. "Though I'll be back to throw Logan the most epic bachelor party."

"What else would he expect from the Life and Death brigade" said Colin, sipping at his tea as everyone retired to the living room. "Though not sure if Honor will be the one to throw the bachelor party."

"I think she knows you two will want that honor." said Logan to his friends. "She'll likely make an appearance at Rory's bachelorette party instead."

"Sounds good to me." said Rory, with a shrug. "Honor and I have always gotten along."

About an hour later, everyone is getting ready to head up and to bed. After Logan made sure the boys got upstairs safely, he and Rory retired to their room. "Hope they aren't being too much of a handful for you. I'm more used to them and their antics."

"Not really, they are cool." said Rory, slipping into pajamas. "It's nice to see them honestly."

"I just realized I'll likely see Robert at the bachelor party." said Logan, also changing into pajamas. "Though I mean I'm cool with it...just hopefully it won't cause issues with the group."

Rory gives Logan a hug. "I'll keep my finger crossed it goes well."

"Thanks." said Logan. "I think I told you everyone on my side has gotten their fittings done."

"You did. It's one less thing to think about as we start getting RSVP cards back in." said Rory. "Mom and I will probably talk over the weekend more about decorations and flowers for the wedding."

"That sounds great to me." said Logan, turning off the overhead light as the bedside lamps were on. "I think Colin is also leaving Friday morning, so you guys could get together then."

"Perfect." said Rory. "Pretty sure Sookie is planning to go along and she'll want to get to the flower market bright and early."

"So you staying up or going to sleep?" said Logan. "I have to confess I'm worn out."

"I might read for a bit, if that's alright." said Rory.

"That's okay, I sleep through almost everything...as you know." said Logan turning out his light. "Goodnight my love."

"Goodnight." said Rory giving him a kiss before he slipped under the blankets. "I'll get my light before I fall asleep."

Logan made a mumble of his approval as he fell asleep. A little while later, Rory felt herself also growing tired. Placing her book down safely and turning out her own lamp, she snuggled closer to Logan and also fell asleep.
