A/N: Uh…I don't have anything to say so never mind.
Disclaimer: Belongs to ASP…oh and I don't own Winnie the Pooh either.
There was a small thud on the bed and Rory groaned.
She felt a small hand hit her leg but she refused to open her eyes and acknowledge the presence of the one at fault.
"Daaaaa!" came the scream.
"Go back to sleep Twister, let mommy and me sleep," a groggy Finn begged his son.
"Brekkers!" the boy yelled.
"Go back to your room, I'll be there in a minute," Finn finally relented.
The boy grinned and went scampering out of the room.
"Come on love, get up," Finn said poking Rory in the side.
"No," Rory said feeling his warm lips on her shoulder.
"If I have to get up so do you," he reasoned.
"Hello, pregnant with your children, you should let me sleep," Rory pleaded still refusing to open her eyes.
"Yes, I should but considering that we are going to visit my parents for the week today you need to get up and pack all of our bags," Finn said lugging his body out of bed and pulling a pair of pants on over his boxers leaving himself bare-chested.
Rory groaned but knew he was right.
As soon as he left the room she closed her eyes again thinking that he wouldn't know.
She felt him come back onto the bed and knew that she had been caught.
Suddenly, before she could open her eyes to explain, he attacked her lips.
When he finally pulled away she was smiling widely.
"What was that for?" she wanted to know.
"For being the most perfect woman ever…for being the mother of my son and pregnant with my next children…and just because I wanted to give you a proper morning kiss," he said grinning down at her.
"I love you Finn," she said and rested her head on his bare chest.
"I love you too, doll," he said kissing her hair.
"Da!" Alden yelled.
"Life is calling," Finn laughed and got up again.
"Don't," Rory mumbled trying to pull him back.
"I have to love. Twister got his mommy's cooking genes," he said and gently pulled away from her grip before heading off to find his little boy.
"Where we goin?" Twister asked from his car seat. The two-year-old had earned the named Twister because he made a mess in any room he went into almost instantaneously and the room ended up looking like a tornado had hit. He had outgrown that phase but the name had stuck.
"To see your grandmother and grandfather," Rory told him.
"Gammy and pap!" the boy squealed referring to Luke and Lorelai.
"No sweetie," Rory told him.
"Paw?" he asked referring to Christopher.
"Sweetie we're going to see Daddy's mommy and daddy…you don't remember them. We're gonna stay with them for a week," Rory tried to explain.
"Nice?" Twister asked.
"Yes, they're nice," Rory fibbed slightly.
Twister seemed satisfied and went back to watching Winnie the Pooh on the small TV in the SUV.
"Alden, Lorelai, how wonderful to see you!" Sophia Finnley said after the maid escorted them into the living room.
"Hello Mum," Finn said kissing her cheek.
"Hi, Mrs. Finnley," Rory said inwardly cringing at her and Finn being called Alden and Lorelai.
"Please dear, call me Sophia, you know that," Sophia said smiling acidly.
It was known that Sophia didn't like Rory and resented that Finn had gone against her wishes and married her. They had seen her twice since Twister was born, on his birthdays.
"Hello Alden!" the old woman said smiling at Twister.
He looked at his father as if to say "Who? Me?"
Finn nodded to him.
Sophia wrapped the small boy in a large hug and he looked positively terrified.
"My how you've grown Alden!" she cooed.
"I'm Twister," he said looking at her in an unsure manner.
"Twister? No, darling, your name is Alden," she said as if he was stupid.
"No! Twister!" he yelled in her face.
Finn groaned and pulled his son by the arm over to the couch. He sat him down in between Rory and himself.
"Be nice," he reminded his son.
Twister looked angry but didn't say anything
"How dare he yell at me? I merely told him that his name was not Twister and that he was named for his great-grandfather!" Sophia was outraged.
"Mum, we've called him Twister since he could walk…you knew that," Finn said tiredly.
"Well I would have thought it stopped by now! And why didn't you teach the boy some manners?" Sophia ranted.
"Sophia…he's just tired and cranky, I'm sorry for his behavior and I intend to talk to him in private about it," Rory said knowing that she wouldn't shut up until she was satisfied.
"I would hope so," she said.
"So how are you and Pop getting on in the States?" Finn asked trying to change the subject. His parents still lived in Australia so Finn, Rory, and Twister were obligated to visit them at their Hartford house when they were in the US. Neither of them could figure oh why they had to stay at the house instead of just commuting from their own house less than a half an hour away everyday.
"Very well, but there is no good help," Sophia complained.
"Mum…you're only hiring people for a month, all the good help already has jobs and they don't want to quit for a month," Finn pointed out.
"Alden, hush," Sophia said.
"Where's Pop?" Finn asked putting his arm on the back of the couch and playing with the small hairs at the back of Rory's head.
"Talking to the office," she replied. "Drinks?"
"Do you have any coffee?" Rory asked politely.
"Only de-caf," Finn reminded his mom.
Finally after a painful afternoon and dinner with Sophia and Alden Jr. Finn excused them to go to bed because Rory was pregnant and need her rest.
"God, hon…don't take this the wrong way but I hate your parents," Rory groaned leaning into him once they got upstairs.
"Love…at least you didn't grow up with them," he said flopping down onto the bed.
"Finn…neither did you! You went to boarding school!" Rory laughed and lay down next to him.
"True…but I did have to spend holidays with them!" he replied after a moment.
"Whatever you say my dear," Rory said snuggling up with him.
"God, I hate being here. I just want to go home and watch Willy Wonka with you and Twister," Finn complained.
"I know babe but we can't do that unfortunately," Rory said kissing him gently.
"I can't wait for you to be here with us," Finn whispered next to Rory's stomach. She was about 7 months pregnant with their twins so she was pretty fat.
"Do you want boys or girls or one of each?" Rory asked.
"I don't know…I want a girl because I want both but I want a boy because I want Twister to have the younger brother that I never got…so I guess I want one of each," Finn said after a moment of contemplation.
"Come here," Rory said cradling Finn's head and kissing him deeply. "I love you more than life…your parents won't change that. I'm so happy that we're having another baby…it means so much to me."
"I love you," he said burying his head in her shoulder.
And together they fell asleep.
"I have never been so glad to go to a Friday night dinner," Finn said 6 days later as they walked downstairs together. They still had the traditional Friday night dinner at the Gilmore's but the dinners had evolved from being just Rory and Lorelai to being Lorelai, Rory, Finn, Luke, Twister, Krissy, Will, Colin and Stephanie and their twins Rachel and Adam, Paris and Doyle and their kids Kyle and Matthew, Logan and his fiancé Kim, Jess and whatever girlfriend he happened to have at the moment.
"Ah yes here they are, I was wondering what was taking them so long," Sophia said when she spotted Rory, Finn, and Twister coming down the stairs.
"Richard and Emily are here," she told them and led the way into the parlor.
"Hello my dears," Emily said kissing all three of them.
"Hi Grandma," all three of them replied together. Even though technically Emily was only Rory's grandma they all called her that.
"How have you all been this week?" Emily asked.
"Fine," Rory replied stiffly. Everyday that they had been there Sophia had found something wrong with Rory or something wrong with Finn or Twister than she blamed on Rory and she was getting sick of it.
"Hello Rory," Richard said hugging Twister and Rory and shaking hands with Finn.
"Grandpa!" Twister said tugging at Richard's hand and pulling him to the couch.
"Twister!" Richard said. As much as he had loved Rory he was excited to have another little boy in the family because he had fun playing with Will who was now six years old.
Immediately after sitting down Twister launched into a long description of something he had done in the past week. Richard listened with perfect attention speaking at exactly the right times.
Alden Jr. watched this interaction and was suddenly filled with jealousy and wished that he had that kind of relationship with Twister, or any of his grandkids for that matter.
Just then there was another group ushered into the room.
Louisa and James and their kids Fredrick and Nathan came in followed by Finn's other sister, Kathleen, and her husband Harrison and their son Steven. Kathleen and Louisa were both older than Finn so Steven and Nathan were both 9 and Fredrick was 7.
"Hi Aunt Rory!" all three boys greeted with hugs.
"Hi guys!" Rory said with enthusiasm.
"UNCLE FINN!" they yelled and dragged him off to the corner. Uncle Finn always told the best stories.
Rory was standing alone and feeling awkward as Stephanie and Colin came in dragging their twins after them. Rachel and Adam were a few months younger than Twister was and you could already tell that Adam was going to be exactly like Colin and the three of them were going to be the best of friends. Stephanie and Rory were already hoping that Rachel and Twister would end up together, making them feel like Emily and Steph's mom who had plotted their marriages.
Logan soon entered the room with his fiancé, Kim.
Louisa, Kathleen, Kim, Rory and Stephanie sat on one couch while Harrison, James, Logan, Colin, and Finn entertained the children.
"We're here!" Lorelai yelled as she came into the parlor with Luke, Will, and Krissy.
Rory hugged her mother Luke.
"Mommy!" Will yelled to Lorelai a few minutes later.
Lorelai ignored him and continued to chat with the girls.
"MOMMY!" he yelled insistently.
"What?" Lorelai asked rolling her eyes.
"The picture is wrong!" he told her.
"What? What are you talking about babe?" Lorelai asked looking at Rory who shrugged.
"The picture is wrong. His Twister has blue eyes!" Will insisted.
"Babe…what picture?" Lorelai asked completely confused.
Will pointed to the fireplace and Lorelai saw a family picture of the Finnleys when Finn, Louisa, and Kathleen were little kids.
"What's wrong with it?" Lorelai asked playing along. Will had come to enjoy pointing out mistakes that other people had made and they were all hoping that it was a phase.
"They got the eyes wrong!" he said starting to get frustrated.
"What eyes?" Lorelai asked not following.
"Twister's! He has blue eyes, not brown ones," Will told her.
"Twister isn't in that picture sweetie," Lorelai told her son.
"Yes he is! He's right there!" Will said pulling her over to the fireplace.
"Hon…that's not Twister. That's Finn when he was two years old. They look alike but it's not Twister," Lorelai explained.
"Are you sure?" Will asked looking at her doubtfully.
"Yes, I'm sure," Lorelai told him and went back to the others.
"What was that all about?" Rory asked.
"He saw the family portrait and thought that Finn was Twister and wanted to tell everyone that they got his eyes wrong," Lorelai explained.
Everyone automatically looked from the picture to where Twister was sitting of Finn's lap. The two were identical except for the eyes. They had the same dark skin and dark, messy hair but Twister possessed the piercing blue eyes of his mother.
"He's going to look exactly like his daddy," Stephanie commented.
Rory swelled with pride. "I'm definitely not upset about that," she said laughing. She still couldn't believe how lucky she was to have the two of them in her life. Without them, and now the new babies she didn't know what she would do.
Lorelai looked at her daughter and couldn't believe how much she had changed since she started Yale. When she started she was a scared little girl, who couldn't even go through the night without her mommy. And now…now she was a mommy herself. She had a wonderful husband who adored her, a little boy who was perfect and now two more little lives on the way. She went from small and scared to happy and confident. Lorelai could help but smile at her best friend.
"I love you babe," she whispered and gave Rory a hug.
Rory wasn't sure why her mom was hugging her but she didn't care. "I love you too Mommy."
"Dinner is served!" a maid announced.
The large rowdy group went into the dining room and had a loud but fun dinner, all catching up and just being together.
A/N: So the twins will be born in the next chapter I expect. I can't decide if it should be a boy or a girl or two of one sex…thoughts? Yeah well it should be up tomorrow. Review if you want.
