Chapter 31

Rory POV

Things had been great. I'd finally got the new firm up and running with Steph and Colin running it. Eight months after they got married, Steph found out that she was pregnant. Colin had completely freaked out. Steph had ended up kicking Colin out of their house and he'd ended up on my couch. It took him all of three days for him to realize that he'd screwed up before he went home to apologize to Steph.

Logan and Juliet ended up moving in together. Logan said that it was because he loved her, but Steph and I think that it was because he saw all of us married and moving forward and he was lonely. Finn thinks that now that things are more serious between him and Juliet that Mitchum and Shira will start pushing him to marry her. Steph and I just weren't sure if it was something that Juliet wanted.

My parents were a completely different story. They'd decided to separate. Mom and Luke seemed to be doing okay. Mom had even found out that she and Luke were going to have a baby. They were both terrified. My Dad on the other hand…I didn't know where he stood. He couldn't make any relationship stick. My heart broke for him.

Finn and I…everything was perfect. In early July, I had given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Lorelai Amelia. We'd named her after my gran and Finn's grandma. We felt that it was the perfect tribute. After she was born, Finn and I had both delegated with our companies and decided to take time off from work so that we could bond with our daughter. What I hadn't told anyone was that I was planning to stay home with her until she started school.

When Amelia started her first day at Chilton, I thought back to the early days before I'd made any of the friends that I had today. I thought back to how Chilton had formed me into the confident and verbal person that I was today. I'd learned so such during my time at Chilton and Yale. It prepared me for the real world. The only thing that it didn't prepare me for was the relationships that I would have.

I stood there leaning against my car with Finn as I watched my daughter walked into the school that once terrified me. "She's going to do great." He said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"I know. But you know what else this means?" I asked him.

"What's that?"

"We have an empty house right now." I said, looking up and smiling at him.

He kissed the side of my head, before whispering in my ear, "Then what are we waiting for."

A/N: Okay that's it. This story is finally finished. It's a bitter sweet moment. I've been working on this story since 2018 and it's finally done. Sometimes it feels like the stories that I've been working on for a long time won't ever get done but I'm slowly getting them done. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
