A/N: A little tired and in pain now that I'm off my pain meds but I'm trying to get this done as fast as Ryan can type!

Rory sat there for a while longer watching Finn play with the young boys before he saw her and waved.
"Hello…when did you get back?" Finn asked joining her on the same chair.
Rory smiled and leaned slightly into his body. "I've been sitting out here for like half an hour…I've never seen you with kids before."
"I love kids…they're so much fun. I wanted to have like six," Finn grinned at the boys who were sitting wrestling each other and running around.
"So what are we all doing the rest of tonight?" Rory asked.
"I'm not sure…what are you up for?" he asked.
"Okay this is random…but I want to learn to surf really bad," she tested. She saw his eyes start to close up and she could almost see him turning back into his sulking self.
"But you don't have to teach me, I just want to learn. Can you just help me find a place with an instructor?" Rory said quickly hoping to cut off the mood before it started.
"You'll have to take care of that yourself. I don't surf," he said and went inside without another word.
Rory sighed and leaned back into the chair thinking that that had backfired and she was back to him being annoyed at her.

Finn was polite but cold to Rory the rest of the night and as she was lying in her own bed, alone, she knew that she didn't want it to be like this. All she had wanted was to help him connect with his past and now they were back to not talking.
She slipped out of bed and into the bathroom taping lightly on Finn's door.
He didn't answer but she poked her head in and saw him in his bed with his back to her. She tiptoed over and slipped under the covers. She slipped her arms around his bare chest and kissed the back of his shoulder.
"What do you want?" he asked in a soft voice.
"To apologize."
"For what?" he asked with his back still to her.
"For trying to make you start surfing again. I know it's none of my business…it's just that I care about you and I want you to be happy," Rory almost whispered.
"You're right it is none of your business but thank you for caring. I know you didn't mean anything by it but I'm not ready," Finn sighed finally rolling over so that he was facing Rory.
"Finn…are we okay?" Rory asked feebly.
"Always love," he whispered. Then he kissed her hair and wrapped her in his arms.
As usual when she slept in Finn's arms she felt completely content and never wanted to move.

"Rory?" Logan's voice asked her the next day as she was laying out by the pool while everyone else was inside sleeping or doing something else.
"Hey."
"Can we talk?" he asked hesitantly.
"Of course…have a seat," Rory said nodding to the chair next to her.
"I'm sorry about how I reacted," Logan said.
"Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal or anything I just want to be friends," Rory assured him.
They sat there in silence for a moment before Logan turned to her again. "It's your turn."
"My turn for what?" she asked confused.
"To apologize," Logan said as if she was stupid.
"Apologize? For what?" Rory asked incredulously. She had nothing to apologize for and she couldn't believe Logan was asking her to in the first place.
"For leading me on and making me think you wanted to hook up," Logan said still acting as if she was stupid.
"I didn't lead you on! I never once made it seem like I wanted to hook up, because I never wanted to hook up! If you thought I led you on then all I can apologize for is your own arrogance and stupidity. Not everything with a vagina wants to get in bed with you, you bastard," Rory shouted once his words sunk in.
She picked up her book and stormed inside.
"What's wrong?" Finn asked as she almost bowled him over on her way up the stairs to her room.
"Logan!" she sputtered and continues past him.
Rory stormed into her room and plopped down onto her bed not sure how else to react, she decided to sit there and think about what an ass Logan was.
Finn came in a few minutes later and sat down next to her. "I took care of it."
"Took care of wh--" Rory started when Stephanie came in looking annoyed.
"Finn! Where the hell is the nearest hospital?" she asked fiercely.
"He's fine, he's faking to get attention," Finn said stubbornly.
"Fine, I'll use the navigation system. And just for the record, this whole 'I'm manly so I'm going to punch my best friend' attitude that you three have is getting old," she said and flew out of the room.
"WHAT HAPPENED?" Rory asked staring at him.
"I took care of Logan for you," Finn said simply.
"You didn't even know what he did," Rory pointed out.
"Be that as it may, he's needed a good punch for a while but Steph prohibited us from hitting each other anymore," Finn shrugged.
Rory hit him on the back of the head but on the inside was singing for him.
"Thanks," Finn said grinning at her.
He pulled her closer and kissed her on the tip of her nose.
"You think you're gonna get away with that? Get back here!" Rory said as Finn got up and started to leave after a chaste kiss on her lips.
Finn looked back and saw her coming so he took off down the hall.
Rory chased him slamming through rooms after him and trying desperately to catch him.
Being a Gilmore girl she wasn't the most athletic person but eventually she chased him into a guest room and closed the door so he couldn't get out. She launched herself at him and tackled him to the ground.
Finn grinned. "Took you long enough." He pulled her down to him and instantly they were fused at the mouth unable/unwanting (A/N: I know, not a word but deal with it) to pull away.

A/N: Shorter chapter but I just got off pain meds so I'm tired and in a lot of pain. It sucked but it's the best I can do right now. More once I'm able to sit up.
Ryan's Note- Hey everyone, as Lara said this one is shorter than usual but she's dragging a little. Thanks for liking this so far and I must admit, neither of us like this chapter but I'm trying to keep up with my homework and take care of/spend time with Lara at the same time. And she's still trying to recuperate so we're doing our best. Thanks again and God Bless. -Ryan
