AN: I do not own anything Gilmore Girls. In this chapter I'm going to follow part of the story line of the shows but change it a little. I hope you like it.
"I can't believe she's back!" Lorelai said to Luke the next morning smiling from cheek to cheek while grabbing a water bottle out of the frige. "There was that time when Queen opened for Bowie and I was ecstatic for days about it, but I think this so totally tops that."
"Well Queen can have that effect on you," Luke said nodding.
"God, I am so glad she has finally decided to get her life back together. I mean coming home should be the first step. Maybe she'll end up back at Yale and become the genius that she was always going to become," Lorelai said sitting down across from Luke on the table.
"I think her seeing Jess pull his life together might have made some things turn in that little pretty head of hers," Luke said.
"Exactly. I never thought I'd say thank God for Jess. And what about that boy?" Lorelai said getting an even bigger smile on her face. "Now that is a cutie. I like that she is now exploring outside the normal boy toys. These gosh darn American boys are a dime a dozen!"
"You just like the accent he's got," Luke told her glad that she was finally getting what she wanted- Rory.
"Oh sure well when you put it that way," Lorelai said to him.
Inside the room next door to the kitchen Finn was starting to wake up. He pulled Rory closer to him. Everything with her sort of felt natural. Like he's been with her for his entire life. She's seen the bare Finn, the venerable Finn. And yet she still hasn't turned away from him. He began giving Rory's shoulder light kisses, which ended up waking her up. She turned around to face him and he blushed. "Hey," she whispered wrapping her arms around her neck.
"Hey love," Finn said in the same whisper and brought her closer to himself. Rory leaned forward a bit and Finn closed the space in between their mouths. Finn didn't hold back at all. Within seconds he was exploring Rory's mouth with extreme passion, which Rory returned the passion to him.
After a couple moments have this Rory broke the kiss. "Finn, not in my mother's house, no matter how much I want to."
Finn just smiled and nodded. Than Rory told him, "We should get dressed, in real clothes I mean."
"Mhmm, you think so? I think I like the idea of us staying in this nice cozy bed all day long," Finn said not wanting to get out of that bed.
Rory sitting up and pulling on his arm said, "Come on big boy, we gotta get up. Plus I want you to get back to Yale and actually attend a class. Yale's probably been getting jealous, I mean I have been hogging you for over a week."
"Yale will have to deal now. I only have eyes for you love," Finn said now sitting up too.
"Aw sweet, but you still gotta go back there," Rory said getting up and getting dressed. Soon Finn was following Rory's steps.
Within 5 minutes they were all dressed. Walking out Lorelai looked up from the magazine and smiled. "What are you crazy kids up to?"
"I was thinking about getting breakfast at Luke's and then send this fellow off," Rory said.
"Well… Have fun, and play bagel hockey. Luke will let you get away with anything since you're back," Lorelai said.
"Will do. I'll be back in a little while. Come on," Rory said to her mother and grabbed Finn's hand and pulled.
Walking up to Luke's door and going inside and sitting down Rory simply stated, "So that's the town."
"That's the town?" Finn said appalled. "Rory, love I feel like I should whisk you away from this mental place."
"Hey, that's my hometown, my childhood, my hood you are talking about right there mister!" Rory said trying her best to sound offended.
"You're hood? Sweetie this is not a hood, it is a mental institution," Finn said simply.
The rest of breakfast went quickly. Rory found humor that Jess was helping Luke out with the diner… again. Soon Finn and Rory were standing in front of his car saying goodbye.
"So you're gonna call me when you get to Paris's place, right?" Finn asked.
"Correct."
"And you are going to try not to go crazy here, right?"
"Correct."
"And you are going to miss me like mad right?" Finn asked hopeful.
"Correct," Rory said smiling.
"Good answer love," Finn said and bent down and kissed her lightly and than said, "Talk to you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow," Rory said has she watched him get in his car and drive off. She turned around and walked into the house. She was than greeted by her mother's voice.
"Oh my God you guys are so cute!" Lorelai said walking in from the kitchen.
"Mom!" Rory said laughing.
"Okay, so tell me everything that has been going on with you since the fight. And I mean everything," Lorelai said pulling her onto the couch.
"Well, all I had been doing was hosting DAR meetings and hanging out with Logan," Rory told her.
"That's it?" Lorelai asked. "That's all you had been doing since your time away from Mommy? My God you are boring."
"Gee thanks," Rory said.
"Anyways, what changed?"
"Jess actually."
"Jess?"
"Yes."
"So Jess's visit had that much of an impact?"
"Yeah, I mean he should up and Logan got so mad at him for some reason. Long story short Logan and I broke up and I also found out that he cheated on me, probably several times too," Rory said.
"What? You are kidding right?" Lorelai asked and Rory just shook her head. "Can I kill him?"
"Mom no, I don't think that would be very good."
"Please? I mean he deserves. Does he think those airheads are better than you? Because if he does than he is the world's biggest idiot!"
"Hey at least now I can date Finn, who wouldn't cheat on me, right?" Rory said trying to change the subject.
"Oh that's right! The exotic boy! Tell me about you two," Lorelai said smiling.
"Well, he took me to Australia to get away from the drama that was growing-" Rory started.
"He took you Australia? Over drama? And you didn't ask me to go?" Lorelai asked dead serious.
"Mom, come on now- we weren't on speaking terms. Well we spent a lot of time together and bam! We are dating," Rory said.
"I like him, he seems like a good kid," Lorelai said now seriously.
"Yeah he is," Rory said nodding.
"Okay so movie night?"
"Movie night!"
"Mom, I'll be back this weekend to help with the wedding plans don't worry," Rory said trying to get to her car the next day to leave.
"Yes but I don't want to loose you again!" Lorelai said still not letting go.
"You won't, I swear! Jess, Luke get her off me!" Rory said pleading.
Finally Jess and Luke did get her off Rory. Rory said her goodbyes to her and Luke. Last was Jess.
"Well, goodbye," Jess said simply.
"Goodbye? That's it? Come here Jess," Rory said engulfing him in a hug. Pulling back she looked at him and said, "You'll call right?"
Jess smiled and nodded, "I'll call."
Rory got into her car and drove off waving. It took her a little over an hour to get to the apartment Paris said she lived at.
"Paris the apartment is nice and everything, but the building itself is scary as hell," Rory said after Paris gave her the tour of the place.
"Well why do you think there are so many locks on the doors Rory?" Paris said in her usual voice.
"Finn's coming over in a couple minutes so please be a little bit friendly," Rory, told her.
"Finn?" Paris asked confused.
"Logan's friend, Finn."
"What happened with Logan?" Paris asked.
"We broke up," Rory said simply.
"Why?" Paris said and right after that there was a knocked. Paris got to the door first and undid the locks. Once the door was open there was a very frightened Finn standing behind it.
"Finn! Come in please," Rory said ushering in.
"Rory love, what have you gotten yourself into? I think I pissed off the person a floor under you," Finn said walking in.
"How did you mange that?" Rory asked.
"I was on the wrong floor… that's all. They didn't seem too happy though," Finn said. Paris had disappeared into someplace in the transition of Finn from the hall to the apartment.
"Let me give you the tour," Rory said walking towards her room, than the rest of the apartment. Finn was silent during the entire tour.
"Finn, what do you think?" Rory asked trying to sound hopeful.
"Rory, my dear, no," he said simply.
"What do you mean 'no'?" Rory asked.
"You can't live here," Finn, said matter of factly.
"Why not?"
"Have you seen this place?" Finn asked.
"Finn it's only 10 minutes away from campus which is perfect. It's the perfect cost for me since I don't have a bundle of money-" Rory started.
"Let me pay for a better apartment then," Finn said.
"What? No," Rory said refusing.
"Why not?"
"Because this is college, I don't want things handed to me. It shouldn't be that way," she told him.
"Ah! I have an idea. You move in with me!" Finn said getting excited.
"Did you just not hear what I said or something?" Rory asked confused thinking he was joking now.
"Yes, something about not wanting thing's handed down to you."
"So I take it you were kidding when you suggested moving in together?"
"Not at all love."
"Finn that is the same thing as it being handed to me," Rory told him.
Finn stood there for a moment thinking this over. "Another idea time, you move in with me, and of course Colin will have to be living there too. But it won't be free you pay the price you are paying living here," Finn suggested.
Rory thought about it. She realized he wasn't joking anymore. "You're serious, aren't you?"
Finn walked over to her and put his hands on her face. He bent down and kissed her quietly. Pulling back and standing up again and keeping his hands on her shoulders he said, "Like a mime, we can even get our own apartment if you'd like."
"You are crazy Finn," Rory said smiling.
"You're just figuring this out love?" Finn said giving her another kiss.
