A/N: Thanks to Tonks2004 for pointing out that only Christopher calls Lorelai Lor. I'll make sure not to make that mistake again. Also, thanks to Hollyfan4eva for your reviews. It's nice to have an ongoing commentary. Here is the hopefully long anticipated 4th chapter. Sorry for the wait, but I've been busy this week. Oh and for those of you whoa re wondering, I keep my chapters short so it's easier to read all at once. Enjoy the chapter!
Lorelai is 5 ½ months pregnant. Lorelai, Rory, Logan and Luke are sitting at the kitchen table in Lorelai's house. There are papers everywhere, some with pictures of dresses; others with churches. Lorelai and Rory are bickering about what colour Lorelai's dress should be.
"No mom, you would look better in white! And white is traditional!"
"Who says I want to
be traditional?"
"Well I know Emily will have a spaz if you
don't!"
"Fine, fine, white it is. Is that okay with you Luke?"
"White is fine. So I guess we're almost done. Rory, you're maid of honour, Logan you'll be best man; we've finally decided to have it at the Dragonfly. Have I missed anything?"
"Nope, that's it. Rory and I have to get our dresses made, but that's it." Lorelai sighs contentedly.
"If that's all Logan and I should really be getting back to Yale, it's getting late." Says Rory
"I suppose you're right, daughter of mine. You'll call later?"
"Of course I will. See you later mom." Rory gets up and kisses her mom on the cheek
"Bye Honey." Rory and Logan leave. Lorelai sets about putting all the papers into piles.
"Lorelai, why don't you leave that 'til morning? Rory's right, it's getting late."
"What does late have to do with anything?" asks Lorelai, not looking up from her papers.
"Well… I was thinking, we should be going to bed…"
"Oh you sneak! I know what you want!"
"To go to bed…?"
"No. You wanna get it on!"
"Very funny Lorelai. I'm tired, I have early deliveries tomorrow, I just want to go to sleep." Says Luke, exasperated
"Fine, fine. Just don't wake me up in the morning when you leave."
"I won't, I promise." He gets up and puts his arms around her waist and kisses her. When the kiss is finished, they walk hand in hand up the stairs.
Back at Yale, Rory is leaving a classroom when Marty comes up behind her. She is so engrossed in the book she is reading she doesn't even notice, even when he calls her. "Rory… Rory?" Marty sighs, but keeps on following her. When they get to the coffee stand she stops to buy a cup of coffee. As she turns to get a lid she finally notices Marty.
"Marty! Hey!"
"Oh, hi Rory. Funny seeing you here." Marty awkwardly tries to cover up the fact that he'd actually followed her all the way from her classroom. "So what've you been up to lately? We haven't seen much of each other."
"Oh… Well you know, class has been busy. Before- Christmas rush I guess."
"Yeah… I know what you mean." They arrive at Rory's dorm. Rory opens the door and lets Marty in with her. He takes a seat on the couch while she puts her stuff in her room. When she comes back she sits down next to him.
"I've missed you." Marty leans in and puts his hands on either side of her face and pulls it towards him. He kisses her, but when she doesn't respond, he pulls away. "Rory, what's up?"
"Uh… I have… a boyfriend."
"Oh… my god… I should go."
"Marty, I'm sorry. I should have told you!"
"No, it's stupid of me to think that such a beautiful girl like you wouldn't have a boyfriend. But… who is it?"
"It's… Logan."
"Ah. I should have known. I'll be going know."
He gets up and leaves. Rory sits on the couch silently for a minute; stunned. Then she picks up the phone and calls her mom. Come on mom, please pick up. On the fourth ring, Lorelai finally picks up.
"Hello?" asks Lorelai
"Hey Mom!"
"Hi Babe, how's it going?"
"Fine. Hey I have something to ask you."
"Okay… shoot."
"Would it be considered cheating if I un-willing did something with a boy who isn't Logan?"
"What did you do?"
"Marty kissed me."
"Just one kiss? Or was it like at the vow renewal?"
"Just one kiss, nothing big."
"Then what are you so worried about?"
"I guess it's nothing. Thanks anyway Mom."
"No problem Babe. When are you coming home next?"
"Uh I have 3 weeks off from classes for Christmas and New Years so I'll be coming home this Friday."
"Yay! And are you going to Friday night dinner?"
"Well I kind of have to, part of my deal with the grandparents; they pay for Yale, I got to dinner."
"So we'll see you after that?"
"Of course! I'll come over right away when dinner's over."
"Okay, see you then!"
"Bye Mom!"
"Bye Babe."
Rory hangs up and goes to the fridge to get some food. Paris comes into the room deep in a kiss with Doyle. Their bodies are practically glued together as they stumble into the room. They flop down on the couch, Paris lying underneath Doyle. As they kiss, Paris start's to take off Doyle's jacket. At this moment, Rory turns around and sees them.
"Oh my god, get a room!"
"Rory?" Paris screams.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm just gonna go into my room and forget I ever saw this."
"Rory, let me explain…" Starts Doyle.
"Doyle, it's fine. Just forget that I'm here. But Paris? I want the three-minute warning."
"Fine, fine."
Paris drags Doyle off the ouch and into her room. Rory goes into her room and gets her books then sits down on the couch. A few seconds later, Paris yells through the wall.
"This is your three-minute warning, Gilmore!"
"Oh jeez…" says Rory. She scrambles up and puts all her books in her book bags, runs out the door and slams it shut. She walks out of her dorm and to the coffee stand. She buys two cups of coffee then heads to Logan's dorm. When she reaches the door, she can hear the sounds of a football game blaring from the TV. She knocks and Finn answers the door.
"Rory, love. Hello there!"
"Uh hey Finn…"
Logan comes to the door and slips past Finn.
"Hey Ace. Finn, do you mind?"
"Not at all…" Finn goes back into the dorm and opens the fridge to get a beer.
"He's drunk, the Patriots are losing."
"Ah. Here, I brought you coffee."
"Aw, thanks Ace."
He kisses her then takes her hand and leads her into the dorm, past the couch and TV and drunken Finn, and into his room.
"Hey Ace." He kisses her again.
"Hey Logan." They kiss again. Finn boos loudly from the common room.
"Jeez, I didn't think that my kissing was that bad." Laughs Logan.
