An: Sorry this took so long to get out. But, I promise there's good reason. I had my baby! 7 lbs. 8 ounces. Hannah Lorelai. The most gorgeous baby ever. I guess i'm biased though. I wanted to get back to writing and I figured it would be good now before she starts crawling and not sleeping most of the time. The things i she keeps me up all night and sleeps all day. So, when she wakes me up I cant sleep even after I get her back to sleep. So, here I am. I'm planning my wedding too. I'll try and find time, I promise. I love writing. I'll stop boring you now. On with the story.
"Finn!" Rory squeaked out. Lorelai tried getting back into her chair but found it quite difficult. So difficult in fact, that she had to have Lane help her. Rory muttered a thanks to Luke as he handed her the muffins. She now turned fully to Finn who was sporting a very smug smirk. How is it, she thought, that even though he is out of his element and into hers he still has this air of comfort and she doesn't. The man was gifted. Lorelai knew all about Finn and his sexy accent. Needless to say,s he's been dying to meet him.
"No kiss hello?" Finn said with his think australian accent.
"Well, come sit over here and you might get your wish." Lorelai piped up.
"Lorelai!"
"Sorry, Luke!" she said grinning. She patted the chair next to her in a welcoming manner. Finn was about to accept the seat when Rorysat back down in it. Finn tried his hardest to look hurt but came up short. He just sat between Rory and the lovely Lorelai.
"Finn, what on Earth are you doing here?"
"Well," he started as he stole Rory's muffin,"I just thought I should come see to it that you weren't terribly troubled by those nasty rumors."
Rory looked away. Truth be told, she didn't feel all that okay with them. "What rumors?" Lorelai asked.
Rory waved it off. "Nothing, just some stupid rumors about Logan and I."
"Actually, it's more on Logan and his intentions toward you. Rude as they may be I don't think they are entirely untruthful."
Rory just about choked on her coffee. "Excuse me?"
"I'm serious, love. I think Logan may really like you and if my judgement proves correctly you like him a bit too."
At that, Lorelai choke on her muffin as Finn chuckled. "You both seem surprised that anyone would be out of their right minds to like Rory."
"No, it's just, it's Logan. We are nothing more than good friends."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then, when we return to Yale you'll apologise to your good friend?"
Rory bit her tongue and nodded as Lorelai surpressed a laugh.
-----
Logan bustled around the common room as Steph and Colin watched in dismay. "With as much alcohol that's in him, I really dont think he even needs Finn's specialty." Steph whispered to Colin.
"Yeah."
"Where on Earth is Finn?" Logan slurred.
"Did he leave a note?" Steph offered.
"Steph!" Colin muttered.
"Oops." she mumbled when he found one.
"Went to Stars Hollow. Obvious reasons. I'll be back and I guarantee Rory will have forgiven you. What the hell?" Logan said.
"Uh oh. Here comes Kong." Steph muttered.
"I'm driving to Stars Hollow. Finn cannot be moving in on Rory! He knows I like her!"
Colin had to put his foot down. "I really dont think Finn is 'stealing' Rory from you. You probably wont believe me and you'll go whether I like it or not but at least call your driver."
Logan considered it. "Fine." he said pulling out his cell phone.
-------
An hour later they were laughing and having a grand old time. Finn was to stay the night on the couch. Finn commented it made him feel like a dog. Lorelai laughed because even Paul Anka sleeps in bed with Lorelai and Luke when he styas the night. They decided they would have a good old fashioned Gilmore Movie Night to induct Finn into the town. He explained he was just staying the night but they were to do it anyway.
"Okay, Rory you want a theme tonight or no?" Lorelai asked crouching beside the vast movie collection.
"Eh, no, let's mix it up."
"Alright, The Way We Were?"Rory and Finn clapped appreciatively.
"Anything a little modern?" Lorelai asked.
Rory thought a minute. "Oh! Scary Movie!"
Finn laughed. "I think it's better than the other three."
"So you concur?"
"Yes, Rory, I concur. Happy?"
"Yes!"
Lorelai looked confused. "I missed something."
"Just Rory's stubborness." Finn Quipped.
"No, I have a video camera. I never missed it."
Finn grinned. "Now, this I have to see."
Rory turned beat red. "Another time, Aussie, another time." Lorelai said.
Eager to take the focus off of her and embarassing home movies she jumped in. "Well, let's get this movie night started!"
Lorelai clapped her hands. "Yes, let's!"
--------
It was about an hour and a half later when they heard somebody urgently knocking on the door. They exchnged confused looks as if to question who in the world would be knocking on the door this late.
"Um, I'll get it." Lorelai assured.
Finn and Rory just turned back to the movie. Well, until they heard yelling.
"Hey, there's nobody here named Ace. I think you need to go home and get some coffee and sleep off your drunken stupor!" Lorelai yelled.
Rory and Finn stood up. "Oh boy." Rory muttered walking towards the door before Finn's hand caught her shoulder.
"I'll take care of it, love. He's probably angry at me." Finn said urging Lorelai the attack dog aside.
As soon as Logan caught sight of Finn he immediately took a swing. Luckily Finn veered to the side in time for Logan to ram his hand into the doorframe.
"Oh my god!" Lorelai and Rory screamed in unison.
Finn grabbed Logan's arm taking a look at his hand. "Yeah, that's gonna need stitches, mate."
Logan opened his mouth to speak but Finn cut him off. "No, i'm taking you to the hospital. We can talk in the car. Lorelai, Rory, it's been a pleasure but i'm afraid i'm gonna have to raincheck the rest of the night." He said giving a wave and pushing Logan down the front steps and into his car. As soon as the front door clicked shut Lorelai turned to Rory.
Rory sat on the couch, buried her face in a pillow and screamed.
When she took her face out of the pillow and looked at Lorelai, she was grinning.
"What!" Rory snapped.
Lorelai quirked an eyebrow. "Friend of yours?"
"Ergg, That would be Logan."
Lorelai smiled wider. "Ohhh, he likes you."
"No, he just wants to get in my pants."
"He got drunk because of you. You are so blind."
"Whatever, Mom. I dont feel like arguing with you over this. I just wanna pretend this event never happened."
Rory got up and started going to her room. "Wait." Lorelai said suddenly causing Rory to stop abruptly and turn slowly while groaning.
Lorleai rolled her eyes."Just one thing before you go to bed."
"What?"
"Ace?"
Rory just groaned and stomped off to her room.
Lorelai sat in her wake laughing. He liked her. That much was obvious. It would be fun when she finally realized that she liked him.
---------
Logan sat in the hospital getting stitched up while Finn sat across from him nonchlantly flipping through a magazine.
"You did this to yourself." Finn said not looking up from the magazine.
"I know." Logan replied.
"I went there to put in a good word for you."
"I know."
"You are an incredible ass."
"I kn-hey!"
"Well, you are." Finn said finally looking up.
"She will never look my way again now, will she?" Logan asked.
"She will, it just might take a little longer."
"Right. Time."
