Holly Jolly Christmas
Part4
"Dean what is it?" Rory urged as he sat her down beside him in the Gazebo.
"I got a promotion! Taylor said that because he's buying the bookstore that he's going to need someone to help him with it. So I'm going to work fixing it up then we it's done he wants me to be his assistant!"
"Dean that's great!" She threw her arms around his head and gave him a kiss. "My boyfriend is gunna work in a bookstore, Books and Dean! In one building, what more can I want! Oh can you put a coffee machine in there!" She asked excitedly.
"I'll talk to Taylor. My break is almost up, I better be getting back." They stood up.
"You better go to work, my big working man. Hee Hee Hee" She adjusted the collar of his coat and he leaned down to kiss her before running back to the market yelling goodbye over his shoulder. Rory zipped up her coat and trudged threw the snow to Lane's house.
"Lane, come downstairs Rory is here! Lane? Lane!" Mrs. Kim yelled upstairs while dusting off an antique chair.
"I'll go up, I have to bring her a book she left at my house."
"Ok." Mrs.Kim started babbling with a customer just as Rory went upstairs.
"Lane?" Rory cautiously opened the door to see Lane with tears in her eyes staring down the phone on her bed. "Lane? What's wrong."
"Nothing I'm fine." She got out as she wiped a tear off her cheek.
"Sure, Sure, Ok." She said, wondering what was going on."Henry didn't call yet huh?"
"No."
"Ah Honey." She sat down next to her and gave her a hug.
"Do you think I should call him??? ... No, that'll make me look desperate."
"And you don't call this desperate? Make him wait! Let's go get some coffee and then we'll go see a movie or something, you can come with us to the town meeting tonight. You haven't even seen my Dad yet. Come on.. Stop wollowing."
"Ok, Your right. I'll get my coat."
"Atta girl." They got their act together and then walked downstairs.
"Bye Moma, I'm going to go spend the day with Rory."
Later that night. Town meeting:
"Come on Taylor, that's ridiculous! I am not going to paint Santa Faces on my store windows. You got the mistletoe on the door and that's all your getting!" Luke shouted as he stood pointing at Taylor.
"Luke, you don't decorate your store at all, all year round, it's Christmas, just get in the spirit!" Seeing Luke's stern expression he relented and moved onto another subject. Luke sat back down in front of Lorelai, a smug look plastered on his face and smiled at his victory. Rory sat between Dean and Lane
"What time is it?" Lane asked Dean.
"Almost 8:30."
"Why do you wanna know Lane?" Rory inquired.
"Nothing." Rory looked unconvinced.
"Henry right?" She said with a long look.
"Your really good at that today."
"No your just really bad at faking it!"
"True. He hasn't called in 4 days. Do you think he's going to call."
"Of course. You went out and it went ok right. He'll call! Right Dean." Rory looked at Dean for some help.
"Oh Yeah! . He's probably just visiting family because it's Christmas. I'm sure he'll call when he can." Rory smiled at his comforting response when Lane relaxed again and focused back on the meeting. Rory mouthed a ' Thank You' to Dean then turned back to Taylor.
After the meeting
The meet had gone well, they were on their way to Luke's for coffee when Rory nudged Lane in the side. "Lane, look." She said as she nodded her head to the Gazebo. There, looking puzzled stood Henry.
"Henry?" Lane asked. He noticed her voice and turned with a big grin on his face.
"Lane!" She squeezed Rory's hand then ran over to meet him. The group followed her over to the bench they were now chatting on. "Oh, hi Rory."
"Hi Henry." Rory replied.
"You take good care of her now Henry." Lorelai teased. He laughed but looked a little nervous.
"She's kidding, we'll see you later Lane." Christopher said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her to Luke's."
"I'll be watching you! .Have Fun" Lorealai shouted over her shoulder.
"Is she serious?" Henry asked, a little confused.
"You have no idea."

"Henry?" Lane asked. He noticed her voice and turned with a big grin on his face.
