A/N: See…I told you it wouldn't be long before I updated. I'm sorry but the f-word is used in here but I'd rather not bump it up to M. I don't really think it's that big of a deal but if it bothers you let me know and I'll remove the offending word.

Disclaimer: I don't know why I even bother to put this in here. You guys know I'm not ASP and I don't own this.


Previously on Mr. and Mrs. Finn:

"UNCA JESS AND MOMMY KISSED!" he yelled when everyone was laughing about something.

Everyone stopped laughing…in fact they stopped everything.

Finn looked at Rory and got up and left the table without saying another word.

"FINN!" she yelled and ran after him.


"FINN WAIT!" Rory yelled as she ran after him up the stairs.

"ALDEN GARRICK FINNLEY!" she yelled again.

"Who do you think I am? You're child? Do you think I'm Twister? In case you haven't realized, I'm your husband and I'm not supposed to find out from three-year-old son that you were making out with your ex-boyfriend? I took this guy in as my friend! He was my fucking groomsman, Rory! He was in our wedding!" Finn said turning around to face.

"Now if you'll excuse me!" he said, took a step backward and slammed the door in her face.

Rory sank onto the floor and burst into tears. She leaned against the door and just wished that he would open it. While she was sitting there she vaguely noticed Twister going into his room with his nanny following him.

A few minutes later she felt the door open leaving her back without support making her fall backwards. The door didn't open the whole way so she was still leaning against it partially.

She looked up and saw that Finn was wearing the same clothes, she opened her mouth to speak but she felt something soft hit her on the head.

With that she felt the door close behind her and push her back into a sitting position. There was still the white object sitting on her. She looked closer and saw that it was her pillow.

"Rory?" Twister's nanny Cara asked softly.

Rory looked at her and waited for her to continue.

"I just want to see if you were okay," Cara explained.

"Would you be okay?" Rory asked. It didn't sound as rude and sarcastic as it might seem; it was an honest question.

"I put Twister to bed early because there was no excuse for that. Why don't you come into my room instead sitting here?" Cara told her.

Rory nodded and followed Cara into the nannies' room. She had only been there twice before.

"Do you want to talk?" Cara asked as Rory sat down on a couch.

Rory shrugged and stared off into space. She was thinking about Finn and Jess. How much she loved Finn and how angry she was at Jess. How dare he come back and kiss her? Now he had screwed up another relationship, except this time it wasn't his to screw up.

Cara nodded and didn't press it. She sat down on the other end of the couch and turned on the TV.

"Jess was my first love…my first real love anyway. He wasn't my first boyfriend…he was my second. I was sixteen when I met him…a junior in high school. He was the guy who owned the local diner's nephew…and the diner guy is now my step dad but that's a different story. The first time that I met Jess I knew that he was different…I knew that my boyfriend Dean could never live up to him. He had this air about him that amazed me…it was like he didn't care and he was so confident and set in his ways. But he broke my heart…he didn't just break it but he shattered it and left me to pick up the pieces alone," Rory said at random.

Cara listened and waited for her to go on. "What happened?" Cara asked when she didn't continue.

"We started dating during my senior year…Dean dumped me because he knew I would never love him like I loved Jess. We dated and for awhile it was perfect…then I found out he was failing school and wasn't going to graduate. His absentee father came to our town and Jess followed him back to California without so much as a goodbye. He broke me…I was horrified that he had done that to me. Then a year later he came back to get his car from his uncle…we saw each other and he told me he loved me then just left without saying anything else. At the end of that year when I was leaving Yale he came to town again for his mom's wedding. He came to Yale and asked me to go away with him and I said no because I knew I would get hurt again…" Rory said after a moment.

"Wow…he was a real jackass to you," Cara replied shocked that Rory was friends with this guy. She knew that he had been in their wedding too, she had seen pictures.

"Yeah he was. I didn't see him for almost two years after that…but he came back my junior year at Yale…Finn's senior year. I dropped out of school the summer before because I was confused. I was dating Logan at the time--" Rory continued when Cara cut her off.

"You dated Logan? Him and Finn are like best friends!" Cara exclaimed.

"Yeah…I dated him for about 8 months…and him and Finn and Colin were best friends back then too. But I dropped out of Yale because Logan's dad said I wasn't good enough to be a journalist so that put stress on our relationship. Well when I dropped out I got a visit from Finn and over the next few weeks he convinced me not to throw my life away and go back to Yale the next semester. Well soon Logan and me broke up and Finn consoled me. Next thing you know, we're dating.

"This is about when Jess came back yet again. At first he was there to get me back…then he realized that Finn and I were meant to be and he just kind of let it go. We got to know each other all over again and became friends and the boys and Steph were friends with him too. He was no longer of interest to me and he was in our wedding and everything.

"Then a little while ago he came and told me he was engaged to some girl he barely knew. I told him that it was a bad idea and he got mad and left. We didn't talk until today when he came over. He found his 'fiancé' in bed with another guy and was upset and wanted me to know I had been right. He started rambling about how we could have been together but he screwed it up…then he kissed me. I pushed him away and he apologized but I told him to leave. I guess Twister saw us. I was gonna tell Finn but I was gonna wait until later when no one else was around," Rory finished her story and she was crying again.

Cara didn't know what to say so she just put an arm around her while she cried.


The next morning Rory woke up and didn't know where she was.

She looked around and it took her a few moments to realize she was in the nannies' room. Memories of the previous day flooded her and she was determined to talk to Finn.

She saw the door to their room was open and she hoped that it was meant as a peace offering from the man inside the room. She hurried into the room but was surprised to see not Finn but Francesca inside.

Francesca was changing the seats and humming a favorite song of her own.

"Francesca…is Finn here?" Rory asked urgently.

"My no miss! He left around seven as usual," she informed her looking up.

"What time is it now?" Rory asked looking around and not seeing the clock that was usually there.

"Around one miss," Francesca replied.

Rory was shocked, she hadn't slept until one since…a long time. She had missed her deadline last night when she forgot to email her story to her editor.

"Thanks," Rory said and left the room.

"Morning Mommy!" Twister called from his playroom.

Rory ignored him completely and went into Ryan's room where she knew Cara would be because she was also in charge of Ryan.

"You missed him," Cara told her.

"I know…I didn't know I slept for so long," Rory said sitting down in a rocking chair.

"I didn't want to wake you," Cara explained and Rory nodded.

"What should I do?" Rory asked her new friend.

"Tell him the truth," Cara stated.

"He won't listen to me," Rory sighed.

"Then make him," Cara said and lifted Ryan from his crib. With that she left the room and took him downstairs leaving Rory to stew in her thoughts.


"Mrs. Finnley! This is a surprise!" the receptionist at Finnley Corporation's Hartford office said trying to schmooze the boss's wife.

"Is Finn here?" Rory asked.

"He's in his office…would you like me to tell him you're here?" she asked.

"No, I'll just go in myself," Rory said starting to turn away.

"He's on a call," Finn's personal secretary, Lisa, said when she spotted Rory.

"Too bad," Rory said and marched into his office.

"Yes I understand Mr. Stein…I couldn't agree. Now that I don't agree with…you can't honestly believe that that is fair! Well no--. Mr. Stein I'll have to call you back. Yes, okay, thank you for your time," Finn was talking to a client or someone and spotted Rory.

"Lisa…didn't I tell you no visitors today?" Finn said into her intercom.

"I'm not a visitor, I'm your wife jackass!" Rory said in an elevated voice.

"I'm sorry sir, do I need to call security?" Lisa asked but she was pretty much kidding. She knew Rory from parties and such and she knew that Rory and Finn had a great relationship.

Finn opened his mouth to reply but Rory looked extremely pained when she saw the answer behind his lips. "No that won't be necessary," Finn said changing his mind at the last second.

"Why are you here?" Finn asked looking at her intensely.

"Why would you call security on me?" Rory asked sitting in one of the chairs across his desk from him.

"Because I don't really want to see you," he told her.

"Finn…I'm your wife…I don't know how you could say that," she was startled at his answer.

"Well you have a great way of showing it," he said sarcastically, his tone making her eyes smart.

"You don't even know the whole story!" Rory exclaimed starting to get angry.

"You're right, I don't. Because my wife didn't tell me the whole story…or any story for that matter and I found out from my son!" Finn said his voice getting louder by the second.

"You didn't give me the chance! I was going to tell you last night once no one else was around! It's not really a dinner conversation 'oh by the way darling Jess kissed me this afternoon, just though you might want to know'. Then you kicked me out of our room! We've been married for four and a half years Finn and I've never kicked you out!" Rory said looking at him hard.

"I needed to think, okay?" Finn said lamely.

"How can you think when you don't know the whole story?" Rory asked.

"All I needed to know was you and Jess kissed…that's enough to think about!" Finn nearly yelled.

"But it's not all there was to think about! What about the fact that I pushed him off me and told him leave right after? What about that? You didn't want to think about that? Oh wait! You didn't know that!" Rory said getting up to leave.

She was halfway to the door when she heard his voice. "Rory…I'm sorry, I didn't know."

She turned and went toward him. He scooted his chair back and patted his lap. She sat down and sniffled into his shoulder feeling like a child being comforted by her mother.

"I got confused…you can't really blame me. I mean what would you have done?" Finn asked.

"Gotten insanely jealous that some other girl had their lips on you and then want to kill you for letting her," Rory said truthfully.

"Exactly," Finn whispered.

"Finn…I love you more than anything…and you gotta trust that I wouldn't ever do anything to hurt you!" Rory said.

"I know love…it just scared me. I love you too," he said leaning down and kissing her.

They were just getting started with full-blown making out when someone breezed into the office.

"Mr. Finnl—oh I'm sorry sir!" some guy said entering the office.

Finn pulled away from Rory and looked at the guy still standing there. "Yes?"

"Well I just wanted to tell you that your father wants to speak to you," the man said.

"Oh bugger. Thanks," Finn muttered.

"Should I go?" Rory asked still sitting on Finn's lap.

"I don't know, let me see what the old man wants first," Finn said reaching for the phone.

"Pop?" he said into the phone. Rory watched his face as he listened to his father. It changed from annoyed to frustrated to helplessness.

"Fine. We'll be there I suppose," Finn said and slammed the phone down.

"What was that all about?" Rory asked.

"There's some bother or something in the Sydney office and Pop wants me to be there in three days," Finn explained.

"Oh," Rory's face was downcast. She hated when Finn was gone.

"Don't look so sad my little sheila, you lot are coming too," Finn rolled his eyes.

"We are?" she asked.

"Yep!" Finn said grinning at her.

She flung her arms around his neck and kissed him. She had only been to Australia once and that was seven years previously when she and Finn had been dating.

"Company jet, Thursday at noon," Finn told her still grinning.

"My mom is gonna be so jealous!" Rory smiled evilly.

"No she won't…we're staying with my parents," Finn looked downcast.

Rory shuddered. "Well I might as well get home and tell everyone. I think we have an excuse for Cara and Lizzie to come but what about Patty and Francesca?" Rory asked.

"It doesn't matter, bring them anyway," Finn said knowing it would annoy his mother.

Rory caught on and nodded.

"I love you Mr. Finnley," she said leaning her head against his.

"I love you too Mrs. Finnley," he said kissing her.

"Now go!" he said pushing her off him and smacking her butt making her turn and glare at him but giggle.
