A/N: What's up?

"See I told you we would make it on time," Finn laughed as the family took off in the company jet Thursday a little bit after noon.

Rory smiled up at him and put her head on his shoulder.

"Da?" Twister asked wandering over to the couch that they were sitting on.

"You're supposed to have a seat belt on mate," Finn reminded him and pulled him up onto the couch.

"Sorry. Where we goin?" Twister asked not looking very sorry.

"Australia," Finn replied.

"Austan…Awestwa…Astaleya?" Twister tried to repeat the name.

"Try Sydney instead," Rory laughed.

"Sydney?" Twister said with ease.

Finn nodded. "We're going to see Grandmother and Grandfather."

"No fanks," Twister said like it was an option.

"We're going until Monday so you better be polite," Rory warned him.

"No fanks," Twister repeated.

"Alden Garrick Finnley, you will be nice…understand?" Rory looked him in the eyes.

Twister got up and ran back over to where Cara, Lizzie, and the twins were watching a movie.

"What are we gonna do with that kid?" Rory sighed.

"I think he's cute," Finn grinned.

"He is cute…but you only think that because he is you all over again," Rory teased.

"Like father like son," Finn shrugged but was extremely proud of his little boy.

Rory rolled her eyes but didn't comment further.

"Welcome! Welcome!" Sophia greeted the family.

"Hello Mum," Finn said kissing his mother on the cheek while carrying Kelsey.

"Hello dear. Hello Rory," Sophia said kissing Rory who was holding a sleeping Ryan.

"Hi Sophia…it's nice to see you," Rory said.

"Hello Alden," Sophia bent to Twister.

He stared at her but didn't say anything. Cara nudged him with her knee.

"Hi…I'm Twister," he said sticking out his hand.

Finn had to struggle to keep in his laugh. Rory had told Twister to be polite and he was but he was also going around what he knew Rory meant.

"Yes dear I know," Sophia said stonily.

"Then why did you call me Alden?" Twister challenged.

"Because it is your given name," Sophia replied refusing to give into a three-year-old.

"Too bad!" Twister made a face at her.

"Alden Garrick Finnley, what did I tell you?" Rory said feeling the trouble beginning already.

Twister looked at her and saw that her look meant trouble. He slumped his shoulders slightly in defeat making Sophia think she had won. But Finn and Rory knew that it was only for now and he was already planning something else.

"And who are these folks?" Sophia asked seeing that next in line were four unfamiliar women, one of which was holding her other granddaughter.

"These are our nannies," Rory said. They had decided to tell Sophia that Francesca and Patty were also nannies instead of telling her the truth that they were the maid and cook.

"You have four?" Sophia asked looking at Rory and Finn.

"We have four children," Rory reminded her.

"Why are you letting her waste your money? She is their mother, she should take care of them," Sophia said to Finn as if Rory was not there.

"Oh yeah, like you always took care of us right?" Finn rolled his eyes. "It's our money, Rory's as much as mine and we'll spend it how we wish."

Sophia huffed and strode away leaving the maid to show them to their rooms.

"She's driving me crazy already!" Rory groaned leaning into Finn's body when they got to their room.

"I know love…it's only for a few days…you can take the kids and everyone out while I'm working so you can get away," Finn suggested.

"Yeah, I think I might," Rory nodded.

The following day Rory, Cara, Lizzie, Francesca, and Patty took the kids into the city to sight see.

The next day was Saturday so they decided to stay in with Finn and his parents.

"Tomorrow I was thinking that we could have a small get together with your old chums, you know to show off your lovely family," Sophia suggested to Finn that morning.

"Yes I suppose," Finn shrugged not really caring.

"Oh! I have a surprise for all of you!" Sophia said looking around.

"A pwesent?" Twister asked lighting up.

"Yes, sort of like a present!" Sophia smiled.

Rory and Finn exchanged a glance and knew that this could not be good.

"The present is in each of your rooms…put the present on and come back down…the children may need help," Sophia said to the nannies.

"You've got to be kidding me," Rory groaned when she saw what was in the two garment bags awaiting her and Finn.

"A portrait? This sucks!" Finn matched her tone.

They looked at each other disgusted.

"Dis pwesent sucks!" they heard Twister yell from his room.

Rory couldn't help but laugh at that as Finn grinned.

"Like father like son," Rory laughed.

Once they were all gathered in the living room again they spotted a man with a large easel in front of him.

Rory looked around and saw that Twister and Ryan were wearing tuxedos with tails like Finn's and the girls were dressed in large flowing dresses like her own.

"Do we have to do this?" Finn complained into Rory's ear.

"Sophia?" Rory said bravely.

"Yes dear? You look magnificent," Sophia said brightly turning to her.

"I'm not sure that this is the best idea…I mean the kids are so young…I don't know if they'll be able to sit still for this," Rory said.

"Well they're going to have to," Sophia said and flounced out of the room.

"Yes…we have to do this," Rory said with raised eyebrows turning to Finn.

He ran a hand over his face and rubbed his eyes.

"Dis is uncomfy!" Twister stated.

"Come here baby," Rory said holding out her arms. Twister walked into them and she lifted him up.

"I don't wanna do dis," Twister told her with sad eyes knowing that they always worked on her.

"I know darling…but we have to. You want to be in Uncle Logan's wedding right?" Rory asked smoothing his hair gently.

Twister nodded eagerly.

"Well you're gonna have to wear something like this for that too," she told him.

Twister nodded and set his head on her shoulder.

"It'll be okay mate," Finn said patting the little boy on the back.

"Da!" a little girl's voice called out.

"Lori!" Finn said lifting the little girl and spinning her around.

The girls looked a lot like Rory and also had the captivating blue eyes.

"Dwess," she said looking down at her outfit.

"Yes, a very pretty dress," Finn nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'm ready for you," the painter said and began to arrange the family in an order that he liked.

"Never again," Rory groaned flopping back onto their bed what seemed like five years later.

"Amen," Finn said flopping next to her.

"I hate your mother," Rory whined.

"I know love," Finn whispered pulling his jacket off.

"Sleep," Rory muttered and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up she was under the covers and smelled little boy next to her. You know that distinctive smell that little boys have? Well that's what she smelled before she opened her eyes.

There was brown hair directly in front of her face. At first she thought it was Finn but then she realized it was Twister.

"Mommy?" Twister asked groggily.

"Yes sweetie?" Rory asked stroking his head.

"I can't sleep in dat room," he told her.

"Why not babe?" she asked.

"Dere's monsters!" he said with wide eyes.

"You wanna stay in here tonight?" Rory asked.

He nodded looking scared.

"Okay, I'll be right back," she promised dragging her body and long dress out of the bed.

She quickly changed into pajamas in the bathroom and washed her face.

When she got back into bed she felt Twister curl up next to her.

"I love you Twist," she whispered.

"I love you too Mommy," Twister whispered back.

She kissed his forehead and they both fell asleep.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!" the insistent little voice said.

"Hmm," Rory mumbled not wanting to open her eyes.

"Da's making a funny noise." Twister said.

Rory listened and heard Finn's light snoring. "It's just snoring…go back to sleep."

There was silence for a few moments.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Yes?" Rory asked reluctantly opening her eyes.

"I'm not sleepy!" Twister told her.

Rory sighed and glanced at the clock. It was only 8 am…no sane person should be up at that time on a weekend.

"Okay, okay, I'm up," Rory said sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"Can we watch a movie?" Twister asked.

Rory nodded and let him pull her downstairs.

"Love?" Finn's voice brought Rory back to reality.

"Hmm?" she said looking around, the sun was WAY too bright.

"Come on, get up," he said pulling her to her feet.

"What time is it?" she asked groggily.

"Three in the p.m.," Finn told her.

"I slept that long? What happened to Twist?" she was all confused.

"I guess you both fell asleep watching a movie," Finn shrugged.

Rory nodded not really comprehending.

"We have to get ready for the party," Finn explained to her.

"What party?" Rory asked confused again.

"To see all my old friends," he reminded her.

She nodded but was still too asleep to know what he was talking about.

"Here," he said handing her a cup of coffee.

She looked around and realized she must have dozed off again because she was back in their bedroom.

She drank three cups and finally was able to figure out what was going on that evening.

"Alden, you remember Libby Pesquiano," Sophia said introducing Finn to some random girl but ignoring Rory who was right next to him.

"Oh yes, Alden I remember you…I had the biggest crush on you," Libby said making google eyes at him.

"Please, call me Finn," he said getting annoyed at everyone using his first name.

"Okay Finn," she said grinning at him seductively.

"Oh and did I introduce you to my wife Rory," he said brightly making Rory laugh at Libby's shocked face.

"Nice to meet you Libby," Rory said shaking the woman's hand.

"Da!" Twister yelled scampering up. He jumped into Finn's arms.

"Oh is this your son? He's adorable…he looks exactly like you," Libby said not giving up just yet.

"Yes, but he has my darling wife's eyes…as do our other three," Finn said smiling sweetly.

"You have four kids?" Libby asked astonished.

"Yes…and they are all exactly like their daddy," Rory said taking Twister from Finn.

Libby finally gave up and wandered away.

"Did I hear right? Is Alden Finnley married with three kids?" a voice asked behind the couple and their son.

"Four actually," Finn said before he turned to look at the speaker.

"Hello mate!" the man said grinning.

"George Parker!" Finn exclaimed pulling the man into one of those hug-and-pat-on-the-back things.

"How ya been?" George asked. He was tanned and looked like he surfed everyday still.

"I've been great…I got me a wonderful wife and four kids," Finn said grinning at what Rory guessed was an old friend.

"Is this one of the little buggers?" George indicated Twister.

"Yep. This is Alden the fourth," Finn nodded looking proud.

"You gave him the family name you bastard?" George laughed.

"We call him Twister," Finn nodded.

"He's exactly like you then?" George asked getting the hint.

Finn laughed and nodded.

"What have you been up to?" Finn asked his friend.

"I'm married myself…got two little mates running around here somewhere," George said.

"That's great mate…introduce me to your wife when you see her," Finn requested.

"It's great to see you again," George nodded.

They did the little hug and pat thing again.

"Used to be my best mate," Finn told Rory who was still holding Twister.

"Why didn't I meet him last time I was here?" she asked.

Finn shrugged.

"Hi there," a petite blonde said to Finn.

"Hello," Finn said not really making recognition on her face.

"Jas Lewis," the woman said as if that would mean something.

Finn's jaw dropped slightly. "Jas!"

Rory sized up this woman as her husband's arms drew her in for a hug.

"You always promised you would come back, but you never did," Jas was saying to Finn.

"I came back for holiday," Finn pointed out.

"Sometimes…or you were off gallivanting with your new American friends," Jas shrugged taking in every detail of Finn's face.

Finn laughed but nodded.

Rory started to get annoyed. "I'm taking our son to bed."

Finn looked at her.

"No Mommy! Da!" Twister protested as he always did at bedtime. But Rory was right, it was time for bed.

"She's right mate, it's time for bed. Are you taking the girls?" Finn asked not realizing Rory was pissed.

"Well I guess I have to since you're so busy on memory lane," she said and spun away.

Finn stared after her and didn't know what was going on with them lately. It was like all they ever did was fight. He decided to let her cool off hoping that it would make easier to talk to her later.

"Wife?" Jas asked.

"Yep…going on five years," Finn nodded.

"I always hoped you would come back for me," Jas said ruefully.

"You can't mean that you waited all these years," Finn looked at her.

"I did for a long time…but I see that you've moved on," Jas shrugged.

"I'm sorry that I never came back like I said I would," Finn said sincerely.

"I understand," she said.

"But that doesn't make it right," Finn pointed out.

"It's life. It was good to see you again Alden," Jas said kissing him on the cheek and disappearing into the crowd.

Finn was glad to have talked to her again but now he had bigger issues on his hands. Finding Rory and making up with her.

A/N: I know this chapter wasn't that great but my boyfriend and I are fighting so I'm not in the best of moods. And to anyone who thinks that Rory is mean to Twister I don't mean for it to seem like she's mean to him but think about it…it must be hard to have a mini-Finn running around, she just gets frustrated. I am SOOOOO sorry…I've been saying that Finn has brown eyes but I was wrong. In real life he has blue-green almost aqua eyes. So I'm sorry for being incorrect.
