Chapter 24: Meet The Father
Finn slept like the dead and nothing could have woken him. He didn't hear his bedroom door open quietly and then close followed by the pitter-patter of footsteps. He didn't even feel his bed give weigh to the weight of the individual. But Finn was wide-awake when someone started pulling his hair, rather hard too. He peered up at the individual who dared to wake him and realized that Gigi was sitting on him and yanking his hair out at the same time.
"Morning gorgeous, why are you pulling out my hair?"
Gigi have him her most 'who me?' look and shrugged her shoulders. Finn wasn't fooled one bit by her show of bashfulness; the girl could be the devil himself if she wanted something bad enough. He respected her for it.
"Come along Gigi, you go wake everyone else like you woke me while I get you your breakfast," said Finn.
"Otay," said Gigi then ran off to do Finn's bidding.
A few minutes later everyone was assembled in the kitchen area. They looked put out by their mini alarm system. Finn held back a laugh as Gigi led Robert to the table by pulling on the belt of his robe. Everyone seemed grumpy that their houseguest had woken them so early.
"She bit me," grumbled Colin.
"She tickled me," said an amused Stephanie.
"She kissed me awake. Told me she was my prince," said Seth.
Everyone laughed at the little girls antics to get all of them to the breakfast table.
"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around," said Robert. "Aren't you supposed to be her prince?"
"I think she thought since she was kissing me awake I was supposed to be her sleeping beauty," rationalized Seth.
"She told me there was fire and then proceeded to pull me here," said Robert.
"She sure is some smart cookie, but knowing who her sister is that doesn't surprise me," said Seth.
"I wonder if Rory told her to do wake us up like this. It wouldn't surprise me if she did because Rory can hold a grudge like no one can," said Stephanie.
They rest of them agreed with Stephanie's comment. Gigi seemed to like the coco puffs that Finn had given her. She seemed to like staying with Finn and his friends.
Rory and Logan decided to spend one day out of there four day holiday on the beach before they headed towards Martha's Vineyard. Logan wanted to pick their beach destination so he could surprise Rory. She agreed to indulge him and so she was kept in the dark about there location.
Logan wanted to make it into a game. So she would have to guess where they were when they got to their destination. He said he would give her some clues but she couldn't ask anyone else. Logan knew it would drive Rory insane to not know where they were going.
They landed in the top-secret location and Logan held up a blindfold before Rory could make a move to head for the exit.
"Logan haven't we moved passed the blindfolding stage," asked Rory.
"Darling, we will never move passed the blindfolding stage if I have anything to do with it," smirked Logan.
Rory smacked him then allowed him to blindfold her and lead her down the steps of the jet and into a waiting car. She was a little apprehensive of letting Logan pick the location because for all she knew they could be anywhere in the world: St. Bartz, Virgin Islands, Sydney Australia, Cape Town South Africa, Canary Islands or the south of France. Logan didn't specify and say it was a beach in America.
"Ace, we've arrived at the beach. I'm going to take you to the water's edge then take off your blindfold," said Logan.
Rory hoped there weren't too many people around who would notice a man leading a blindfolded woman to the water. She didn't think that would bode well for their four-day vacation. When she felt Logan take off her sandals then lead her to the waters edge it felt wonderful. When Logan took off the blindfold she had to squint because the sun was shining right in her eyes. When she looked around she noticed that there weren't that many people on the beach probably because it was so early in the day. It was a breath-taking place though.
"Are you going to give me a clue?" asked Rory.
"This place was founded in 1891 by a wealthy man named Kinney," said Logan.
"Well that helps, much good you are," said Rory.
Logan laughed and he plopped himself on the sand. He looked over the vast amount of water in front of him. He turned around looked at the vendors and small shops that were opening. Rory sat next to him then turned around and looked at the little shops that dotted the boardwalk.
As Rory was daydreaming Logan was staring at her. He silently thanked their friends for suggesting they take a vacation from all the madness. Hopefully the press would stay away from them and let them have a peaceful vacation. But he wasn't counting on it.
Logan had the urge to kiss Rory just for the hell of it. He leaned towards her and gave her a sweet little kiss on the lips. She turned into the kiss and grabbed the back of his neck to deepen it. When she demanded that he open his mouth he did so without much coaxing and did whatever she wanted him to do after that. They had no idea how long they had sat in the sand in front of the calm beach and kissed, but it didn't seem long enough as they came up for air.
Logan smirked, "I love when you get dominant on me, baby."
Rory blushed and was about to say something when her stomach took that opportunity to grumble and tell her it was hungry. She started laughing along with Logan at her stomachs demand.
"I think we should find me some food before my stomach starts grumbling really loud," joked Rory.
"Yeah, I think that would be a good idea. Do you want to go to the hotel and order room service or do you want to get something around here?"
"I want to get something around here"
Logan grabbed her hand the moment they stood up and headed towards the boardwalk. They spent a few minutes meandering through the vendors and going in the small shops. They had walked along the boardwalk for a bit when the came upon a little outdoor hot dog shop. Rory decided that she wanted to eat there and Logan obliged her.
They ordered their food from a guy that resembled Joe, the pizza delivery guy in Stars Hollow. He actually told them that they came to the right place for a hot dog since the boss was obsessed with perfection when it came to making hot dogs.
When they received the food Rory took a bite and said, "Mmm, this is the best hot dog I've ever had in my life."
"And I wholeheartedly agree with you, Ace."
"I'm glad that the two of you appreciate a masterpiece when you eat one. You must have superior taste buds," said a dark haired man dressed in blue jeans and a white t-shirt.
Before either Rory or Logan could reply the dog the man had on a leash attacked Logan's leg. He didn't get a chance to bite Logan's leg but he did manage to tear his pant leg. "Jimmy Jam, down boy. Dammit, stupid dog. I'm so sorry sir. He doesn't usually do this. Gosh…I'm so sorry," said the man.
Logan found the whole thing amusing. The dog hadn't hurt him and it was just his pant leg that was torn. Logan bent down and petted the dog that seemed to have calmed down. Jimmy Jam seemed to be a nice dog and something must have spooked him to get him riled up. "Hey no harm, no foul," said Logan.
"Sir, you are truly nice. But I feel terrible. Please let me pay for a new pair pants or have it dry cleaned or something," said the frustrated man.
"Don't worry about. I have more pants," said Logan.
The man ignored what Logan had said and suggested, "Why don't you let me have someone fix the tear for you. I know the perfect person. My girlfriend is good with the whole sewing thing. If you could just come with me I can have that tear stitched up in no time. I feel terrible for what my dog did. Oh you don't have to worry that I'm some psychotic killer or anything, just ask the guy behind the counter I'm the owner of this here fine establishment."
Rory smiled at the man. He seemed genuinely worried about what his dog had done and wanted to do something. Logan nodded his head after it was verified that the man with the dog was the owner of the hot dog place and he and Rory followed the man back to his place.
When they got to hot dog man's house they were introduced to hot dog man's girlfriend who quickly learned of the events that took place. She was furious with the dog and continued to apologize to Logan and Rory about her dog's behaviour.
After a while Logan and Rory were seated in a love seat as Logan was wearing a borrowed pair of the hot dog man's sweat pants. Silence filled the air as the girlfriend stitched away at Logan's torn pant leg.
Rory was the first to speak, "I sorry we didn't get a chance to introduce ourselves during the flurry of activity that took place. I'm Rory Gilmore and this is my boyfriend Logan Huntzberger."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Sacha Chancellor and this is my boyfriend Jimmy Mariano," said Sacha.
Rory and Logan froze after they heard the hot dog man's name. 'Mariano was a common name, wasn't it?'
"What?" asked Jimmy looking at Rory and Logan's reactions.
"Oh My God! You're…you are…you're" said Sacha staring at Rory and Logan.
"Spit it out Sache," said Jimmy.
Sacha dropped her sewing and ran to one of the other rooms. Everyone was puzzled as to what she was doing. When she came running out again she was waving a magazine. She threw said magazine on the coffee table and said, "You're them."
Jimmy was confused. He had never in his entire relationship with Sacha seen her act like this. So he decided to play along and picked up the magazine. He didn't even open the cover until he realized what Sacha was blabbering about. He looked at the cover and then up at his guests and his eyes widened.
"Holy Crap!" said Jimmy.
Logan and Rory had seen people act like this in front of them. They didn't mind it most of the time because they could ignore them but under the circumstances it was hard to look the other way.
"Yes that's us," said Logan.
"Wow, we've never had celebrities at our house," said Jimmy.
"We're not celebrities. People just happen to know about us because of our last names," said Rory.
"Well, people do know about you two so you're celebrities," said Sacha.
"Do you have a son Mr. Mariano?" asked Logan changing the subject.
"Hmm…yeah I do, Jess," said Jimmy.
"I can't believe this," said Rory.
"WHAT?" said Jimmy and Sacha.
"Your son and my girlfriend Rory dated two years ago. His Uncle Luke is dating Rory's mother. Jess has since come back into our lives and let's just say it has been interesting," said Logan.
"You know my son Jess?" asked a dumbfolded Jimmy.
"I was raised in Stars Hollow. My mother and my friends still live there. You son is currently residing with his mother there," supplied Rory.
"OH! You're Rory," said Sacha.
"Sacha, what in hell are you talking about? You know Rory," asked a confused Jimmy.
"Jess told me about her when he came to stay with us two years ago," said Sacha.
Logan thought of the irony of the situation. It seemed he and Rory were destined to run into someone related to Jess Mariano everywhere they went. He wished they had gone back to the hotel and ordered room service.
Sacha couldn't believe that this was the Rory Jess had gone on and on about during his visit two years ago. She seemed so sophisticated and mature. She also screamed money with her mannerism and posture. Sacha knew all about Rory Gilmore's rise to fame. She had first received notoriety as the girlfriend of the Huntzberger Heir then she had been put into the limelight by the sizeable inheritance she would receive when she reached a certain age. She didn't seem Jess' type.
Jimmy couldn't believe the vogue model standing in his living room had dated his son. She seemed way out of his son's league. Rory seemed like a wonderful person but her and Jess didn't seem like they would mesh well together. He hadn't known this was the girl that his son had left behind until Liz mentioned this was the Rory. Her and this Logan guy seemed like a serious couple.
"Why don't I finish sewing your pants and Jimmy will get you something to drink?" said Sacha.
Logan and Rory could do nothing but nod their heads. Then out of the blue Rory said quietly, "We're in Venice Beach."
"You got it with only one clue. I bet you saw all the souvenirs in the shops we went into but wanted to indulge me and continued playing my game," whispered Logan.
Rory just smirked at him. 'She's becoming more like me as every day passes'
Finn was in a supermarket. He had never in his entire life been to the supermarket. The guys and Stephanie had ganged up on him to go buy groceries after they found out that he was the one who told Gigi to wake them up. So there he was with a cart and Gigi inside the cart wandering the isles like a fish out of water.
"Gigi, do you know where your diapers might be?" asked Finn to the little girl.
Gigi looked up a him and said, "Diapees no, no."
"Well, you're a lot of help. I don't know why Seth couldn't take you to his biology lab. It's not like you would actually drink all those liquids. I think Seth worries too much," said Finn.
He was trying to see how this supermarket deal worked. He was so confused that he stopped the first person he saw. She happened to be a cute little redhead, Finn's favourite type of woman. "Hello dear, could you help a fellow human being out?"
"Sure handsome, what do you need help with," said the redhead.
"I was wonder-"
"Diapees, diapees," said Gigi before Finn could ask the redhead where exactly the diapers could be located.
"Aww, I love babies. She is so cute. Hello sweetie, how are you?" asked the redhead to Gigi.
"Yes she's my favourite girl. She's my daughter you know?" said Finn lying through his teeth.
"You look too young to be her daddy. I'm Amber, by the way, what's your name?" asked Amber, who seemed to be checking him out.
"Amber, such a lovely name. Thank you for the compliment about my age. I am older than I look. I'm Finn and this is my daughter Gigi," said Finn.
"It's nice to meet you Finn and Gigi. What can I help you with?" asked Amber.
Finn was so glad that Gigi decided to come shopping with him. He asked Amber where everything on the list was. They casually flirted the whole time they spent together in the supermarket. Gigi was being good and not throwing any tantrums. She actually helped Finn's cause by acting cute to everything Amber would say or do. By the time Finn had everything on his list, he had gotten Amber's number and they had decided to have dinner the next night.
Amber helped Finn and Gigi to their car and kissed both of them on the lips. When he was driving back to Yale he looked at Gigi in the rear-view mirror and said, "Gigi I'm going to buy you some ice cream. From now on out, you and I are going to all the shopping. Got that?"
"Yes, yes," said Gigi. She had no idea that she would be helping Finn's harem of women expand to an unthinkable size.
Rory and Logan were saying their goodbyes to Jimmy and Sacha when Jimmy asked, "Are the two of you going to Liz and TJ's anniversary celebration?"
"Yes we are, Liz asked me herself. Are the two of you going to be there?" asked Rory. She knew, courtesy of Stephanie, that is was fashionable for exes to be at each other's weddings. But she didn't know if that logic could be put to use for anniversaries too.
"Yeah, we were going to decline when Liz phoned and asked us to come. You know, for Jess to have both his parents in one place," said Jimmy.
"Of course. Well Rory and I should go check into our hotel. It was nice meeting the two of you and we'll see you at the anniversary celebration," said Logan.
Goodbyes were exchanged and the couple got into the awaiting limo. Logan had given the driver the address to Jimmy and Sacha's place and asked him to be picked up there. They waved from the window.
"Can you believe that is the Rory?" asked Sacha.
"I can't believe my son dated a socialite," said Jimmy.
"She wasn't a proper socialite then. But she sure as hell is now," said Sacha.
Jimmy and Sacha sat on the sofa that had been previously occupied by Logan and Rory and looked at the cover of the magazine that was staring at them. "So the both come from some major money?" asked Jimmy.
Sacha stared at her boyfriend, "Jimmy he's the heir to the Huntzberger Publishing Group, as in Newspapers. She's the heiress to the Gilmore Fortunes, some serious family cash," said Sacha.
"No Shit! I thought they famous because they were the son or daughter of a politician. When Rory said famous last names I assumed politician or actor," said Jimmy.
"I read somewhere that Rory's grandfather was the late Straub Hayden, Supreme Court Justice, and I heard she was related to royalty. Her Gilmore grandparents even have a title. Can you believe that?"
"How do you know all of this? This girl doesn't seem like she was or is Jess' type."
"I know this because I watch TV and read the newspapers once in a while, something you've neglected to do since you had no clue who the two of them were. I agree with you on her not being Jess' type."
"I guess we'll have to wait until the anniversary celebration to see if there is still as spark between the two of them," said Jimmy.
Sacha and Jimmy got comfortable on the couch and thought of the couple they had just met.
AN: Please, Please, Please Review.
