I know, I know.

It's too short.

Well guess what? LIFE'S SHORT!

But my homework isn't!

That's right!-I went back to school this week!

But with Labor Day coming up, I should be relaxed enough to pound out a twelve or thirteen pager.

Disclaimer: GILMORE GIRL'S PREMIERES SEPTEMBER! AHHHHHHHH! Oh, and like, I totally, don't like, not, don't, not, totally, not own this completely gorgeous, like show, called like, Gilmore, like, Girls!

If you can't tell, I dislike valley girls. Shame so many of my friends are valley girls.

I'm also in a bad mood, due to my baby brother. Ass ripped up all my papers.

---------------------------------------

Tristin smiled, breathing in the fresh air of the Mediterranean. His orders were relatively easy, considering what his job usually composed of. He was smart enough not to tell his mollycoddling wife, though he adored the tiny woman to bits.

"Tristin!" Bud grinned, "Just think. Three weeks and all we have to do is rescue a few hostages. Should be easy as cake,"


"Rory's asking me to transfer to a desk job," Tristin told his friend, "She's been asking since Scout was born, actually, but-" He sighed

Bud snorted, "Women. They worry too much, but at least they give you the best welcome homes," He grinned, "Almost as good as make up-"

"I don't want to know the end of that sentence," Tristin said, chuckling, "Bud, I've been on sixteen missions since my son-Allie was born,"

"Why give him such a girly name?" Bud asked

"Allie's not a girly name," Tristin was annoyed. Everyone said that, "It's in Catcher in The Rye,"

"Didn't think you were a reader," He said

"I'm not," Tristin sighed, "I just connected with Holden on a personal level,"

"You got kicked out a lot?" Bud asked, raising an eyebrow

"I thought you didn't read," Tristin said, grinning

"I don't," Bud said, smiling, "I got the Cliffs Notes on audio,"

Tristin laughed, "Bud, I don't care what you say. I missed seeing Allie talk-Rory says that his first word was Da-da,"

"I thought the Navy was your life?" Bud asked, "We were in Annapolis together, drafted off together-" He started to well up.

"Rory's my life," Tristin said, smiling, "Rory, Scout, and Allie, are my life. The Navy's just a job,"

"Tristin, you're a SEAL," Bud argued, "It'll be months before they let you step down to a safer job,"

He grinned, "It'll be months well worth it then. I'll be with my family for longer then two months and be able to attend Scout's basketball games,"

"Tristin," Bud protested

"Bud," Tristin shook his head, "Nothing's going to change my mind,"

"Who's going to be my wingman then?" Bud asked, "I've been shot at and you've taken the brunt of all my bullets!"

"Yeah, you big baby," Tristin grinned, "You need to start getting better reflexes,"


"Hell no," He said, "If you're stepping down, I'm with you," He said, passionate

Tristin laughed and hugged his dear friend, "Bud, do you have any idea what your wife will do when she finds out?"

Bud's ears perked, "That's a thought," He grinned, "Tell Rory that the Navy's losing their best SEAL,"

"Thanks Bud," Tristin grinned

"I was talking about me, you egotistical ass," Bud said, smiling.

"So," Rory smiled. Paris and Colin had finally left, deciding that Ella and Eli should be put down for their naps. Finn and Jill had left a while ago, when Finn had some nasty hacking coughs and Jill wanted to take him home for some chicken soup.

"Think Finn's okay?" Logan asked

"Finn's never been okay, in my mind," Rory said honestly, smiling. She knew what he meant though, "It's only a week before he breaks the news to Jill and she starts to loose it,"

Logan walked over to her. Rory was leaning on the counter and Logan put his hands on either side of her. Rory smiled and ran her hands up and down his smooth arms.

"Hello handsome," She smiled, giggling. Logan smiled too,

"So, would it be too forward of me to kiss you?" He asked, giving her his teasing smirk.

"It would be forward," Rory said, trying to look serious, "But I don't think I care," She smiled brightly and stepped forward. Logan beamed and caught her lips in a kiss that made Rory's knees shake.

The phone rang. Again and again. Both Logan and Rory ignored it. Then Rory's cell went off, followed by Logan's. They broke off their exploration of each other's mouths and looked around, a little dazed.

"I need to get that," She said, "Could be the kids," She walked over to her purse, while Logan picked up his cell.

"What?" They both screeched. Logan grabbed his keys and Rory hurried out the door, followed by him.

"Tristin?" Mandy smiled, "Look, I like you, and Bobby loves you, but-" She hesitated, "Can we get a divorce?"

Tristin smiled, "Thank God!" He kissed her full on the lips, laughing like mad. Tristin hurried outside in the rain and Mandy saw him dancing.

"I'm not that bad!" She yelled, chuckling. The truth was that both of them weren't suited for marriage but made a good set of friends. Bobby was their only connection. He had a Mary and she wasn't her.

"Where is she?" Rory asked, worried

"There's Finn!" Logan said at the same time. He took Rory's hand and they both walked over to Finn, worried.

Finn smiled and laughed, "It was just Braxton-Hicks again. I found out just now. Jill's learning the difference between false labor and real labor because apparently she didn't listen last time,"

Rory slapped him lightly, "You scared us to death! Calling and saying that Jill's having contractions!"

"Yes, and we were in the middle of-" Logan hesitated, seeing Rory's sharp look at him, "Scrabble," He ended, lamely

"You were going to do it, huh?" Finn smiled. He nodded his head, giving an obnoxious smirk, "You should really remember to brush down your hair, Logan,"

Logan scowled and flattened his hair slightly, giving it a rumpled look.

"Must've been something hot," Finn commented, "Usually when Jill's not fat, she likes-"

"Finn, there are some things that people don't need to know," Rory said, closing her eyes, "I already know some things, and I don't want to add any more to the list,"

"And I thought Jill didn't like being called fat?" Logan asked, grinning

"Well, you don't like being called Baboon, but what's stopping me?" Finn asked

"Baboon?" Rory asked, smiling

"Don't tell her the story, Finn," Logan said

"Like I give a baboon's arse about you," Finn's eyes twinkled, "It's a good story!"

"Fine," Logan said, "But I'm telling her about Mindy,"

"It's worth it," Finn smiled brightly, "Rory, Logan and I have been friends since-what tenth grade at Andover?"

Logan nodded, sitting down, putting his hands into his face.

"We went on a week long trip with our grade to DC," Finn explained, smiling, "We were at the National Zoo, Colin, Logan and I. Someone dared Logan to moon Miss. Stevens-this really hot teacher at our school,"

"No," Rory said

"He did, and it was in front of the baboon exhibit, so all the baboons saw him and did the same thing, to Miss Stevens," Finn said, smiling, "Everyone called him Baboon for the rest of the year,"

"Poor you!" Rory laughed sitting down to hug him.

"Miss Stevens wouldn't look at him after that," Finn said, laughing, "I still have pictures of Logan's lovely arse shot and the baboons imitating him,"

"Thank you for that story," Logan said, "And Rory, I was drunk. I swear to god, Three sheets to the wind,"

"He was completely sober, I assure you," Finn said, grinning, "And he doesn't believe in God anyway, the two timer,"

"My baboon," Rory pecked him on the cheek, smiling, "You're so cute!"

"That's the only thing he's ever been embarrassed about," Finn told her thoughtfully,

"You would be too, if all the girls asked you if you really had a baboon's ass!" Logan said crossly

"I can attest to the fact that your butt is the cutest and most non baboonish butt I've ever seen," Rory said honestly, smiling, "Excepting Allie's. When he was a baby-" She smiled fondly, "So cute,"

Logan kissed her on the nose and Finn smiled

"Finn!" That was Jill walking out, upset, "Guess what?" She looked as if she might cry

"What is it, babe?" He asked

"These stupid moronic doctors," She ranted, "I only have three more days of this hell and they choose this moment to finally discover a second heartbeat!"

"What?" Finn asked, sitting down, "Jill, do you mean-"

"I had to get another ultrasound since the doctor said something about an irregular heartbeat and augh!" Jill sat down, "They said it was a boy. Both babies are boys. I get twins for some reason and not one of them can be a girl?"

"I think it's hormones," Finn whispered, patting her, "Jill, sweetie, are you saying that we have two new arrivals?"

"I don't want another boy!" She weeped, "I want a girl! Just one girl, Rory,"

"Jill," Rory rubbed her back,

"Maybe there's a reason why you don't have a girl," Logan offered

Jill looked at him darkly, "What?" She asked

"Well, girls are really hormonal sometimes, you know?" Logan asked, wanting nothing more then to leave.

"So what, Baboon?" Jill asked, sniffling, "Rory, don't you want a girl?"

Rory laughed, "I'm happy with Scout and Allie, Jill," She said, smiling, "I don't think I want another baby, period,"

Logan was happy to hear that. He was never sure how to act around a baby.

"Don't tell my mother that though," She laughed, "Mom's obsessed with getting a granddaughter out of me,"

"Why?" Logan asked

"Someone to carry on the Lorelai name," Rory explained, "Mom wants a Lorelai Gilmore IV. She was very upset when I changed my name to DuGrey and dropped the Gilmore completely,"

"Let's get outta here," Finn said cheerfully, "I'll get ice-cream for my wife who is now eating for three, apparently,"

"No, still two," Jill said, "Doctor said that the smaller baby was most likely dead. Probably would've never seen him if it hadn't been for the ultrasound. Vanishing Baby Syndrome, they call it,"

"Well, you know Miles and Sawyer were both supposed to be girls, so?" Finn

"Deacon was a boy and they said he was a boy," Jill grumbled, "I better get Cherry Bing Garcia, Morgan, because now, I have to haul twins out of this body in less then two days,"

"Anything for you, my lovely," Finn said, kissing her on the forehead.

"At least I still have my idiot husband around," Jill smiled, "And I'll still have a kid in a few days. Stupid false labor," She growled

"We're going to go," Logan said, not standing the tension. Finn wasn't doing so well either, looking at the floor when Jill expressed her thanks that he was still there.

Rory was surprised that no one had figured it out, apart from when Finn had told them. He looked much paler then usual and slower.

"Sweetie?" Jill looked at him, "Ice cream?" She reminded, smiling

"Let's go," Finn said, "I have to pick up Sawyer from a friend's house anyway,"

"Where's Miles?" Logan asked

Finn's eyes turned wide, "Bloody-" He broke off and pulled out his cell phone. Rory and Logan groaned, taking seats on the bench while Jill sighed as well, looking at them.

"I'm guessing that when I called Finn to tell him that I thought I was in labor, he forgot to get Miles from camp?"

"I'd lay money on that," Logan said

"Poor kid," Jill sighed, "Miles hates being forgotten, saying that we're always forgetting about him-the middle kid,"

"Tristin said the same thing," Rory told her, "And look how he turned out!"

"Dead?" Jill said hollowly, "No thanks,"

"I meant," Rory laughed, "When he was alive, he was one of the top SEAL in the Navy. He also had two very adorable children and a beautiful little sister,"

"Does he have a loving relationship with his mother?" Jill asked, "How was he during high school? Was he ever a problem child? Is he considered to be a troublemaker?"

"Stop being so negative," Rory said

"You know," Logan chuckled, "Jill just described me,"

Rory opened her mouth and then closed it. She looked like a gaping fish and groaned.

"I can't believe Finn was right," She said, surprised

"What?" Logan asked

Rory is bouncing up and down, from the glow of Tristin having proposed to her. She is showing off the ring to all friends and strangers.

"I can't believe you're marrying him!" Jill said, jumping up and down. Finn stops her,

"Don't jump and jiggle Baby out, sweetheart," He says, grinning, "Go sit down and I'll bring you something,"

"Pudding," She says immediately, "I want lots of pudding!"

Finn looks at Rory for a few moments, "Are you sure you want to marry him?" He asked

"Yes," Rory said firmly, "Why?"

"Because," Finn sighed, "I always thought you dated Tristin because he was a lot like Logan and you two really loved each other," He frowned, "You are over Logan, right?"

"I-" Rory hesitated, "Tristin loves me Finn, and I do love him too. Just maybe not in the same way that I was in love with Logan,"

He nodded, "You think they're like each other?"

"They have certain coincidental qualities, yes," Rory agreed,

"If you hadn't met Tristin in high school already," Finn said, smiling, "I'd be positive that he was just a stand in for Logan,"

"If you weren't carrying his baby, I'd punch you in a place that it's not ladylike to say," Rory walked away, fuming a little.

"I never really got over you either," Logan said, grinning. He kissed her softly and she responded with unusual zeal.

"Don't let my presence stop you," Jill said, breaking them out of their thoughts, "I'm just an oversexed pregnant woman who can't do it until her stupid BOY babies are out of her vagina!" She started to cry.

"We'll stop," Logan said quickly, alarmed by Jill's tantrum. Plus, the technical words for girl parts unsettled him.

She sniffled, "I hate pregnancy,"

"That's a first!" Rory joked
