The next weekend was Rory's birthday. On the Friday morning she came into work and there were bouquets of sunflowers on her desk, there was a note attached to them:

Kitten,

Your birthday weekend starts today,

I collaborated with your assistant

to clear your afternoon,

I'll pick you up at two.

Love Finn xoxo

Rory rolled her eyes as she pulled out her cell.

R: Seriously? Messing with my work day?

F: I checked that it wasn't anything really important or urgent first in my defense, if that helps?

R: Next year there will be more rules!

F: Next year? X

R: Yeah next year. Xx see you later

F: Sounds like a plan.


Two o'clock came and Finn announced his presence by walking into her office and plopping himself down on the desk blocking her keyboard and screen.

"It's two, time to go Kitten. I'm not budging until you walk out the door."

"Finn! Can I at least save my brief?" Rory said exasperated.

"Ok, I'll allow it," he said, moving aside grudgingly.

As they left the office, heads turned at the unfamiliar sight of the Director of the Firm leaving at two in the afternoon, nevermind the fact that she was hand in hand with a tall, handsome gentleman.

Finn had arranged for the two to go and get a couples massage together, he knew she would need it to relax for the weekend. While they were at the spa, Rory also got a manicure and pedicure.

"Thank you Finn, I really needed that. I always say I will book a massage and then never make time to do so."

"We can make it a regular activity Kitten. I'll gladly go and get a massage with you once a month. We can be each other's own happy ending afterwards." He said with a playful leer at his girlfriend. She smacked his chest in response.

"Okay, go get dressed. We are going out and we have reservations in an hour and a half. Now go," he sent her off with a smack on the butt.


Just over an hour later and they were ready to go, Finn had a car waiting outside for them.

"Am I allowed to know where we are going Finn?"

"Nope, it's a surprise. I'm not sure why you bother asking anymore. You know that will be the answer."

"Maybe one day you will slip and tell me the truth, Finn."

"Maybe," he said, leaning forward and giving her a gentle kiss, careful not to mess up her make up. "We're here."

Rory looked up, the car had stopped outside her favourite chinese restaurant.

"I love this place!" Rory said excitedly, squeezing his hand.

"I know. Reservation for Morgan," Finn greeted the hostess. He pulled Rory gently behind him and they followed the hostess. He wanted her behind him to hide where they were going. The hostess led them to a private room.

"The rest of your party has already arrived, Mr Morgan."

"Thank you. That will be all." Finn said dismissing the hostess.

"The rest of your party?" Rory looked at Finn, "what aren't you telling me?"

"Patience is a virtue Kitten."

"A virtue I don't possess."

"Open the door and see then," he smirked as he watched her step forward and hesitantly open the door.

"SURPRISE!"

Rory jumped at the squeal. She looked around the room. All of her friends were seated around a table waiting for them. Paris and Doyle, Colin and Stephane, Jess and his girlfriend Cara, Tristan and his fiance Louise, and finally Lane and Zack.

Rory reeled into Finn's embrace. "How? When? I had no idea!"

"I wanted to surprise you but I knew you wouldn't want a big party. I thought you'd like this better?" Finn replied uncertain, his voice having dropped to a whisper.

Rory stood on her tip toes and gave Finn a deep kiss, then whispered "I love you," in his ear before kissing him again.

"Gilmore I didn't come here from Boston on my weekend off to watch you make out with a stooge. Put the boy down and come sit down." Paris shouted.

"Nice to see you again Paris," Finn said while pushing Rorys chair in for her.

"Mare, I didn't think you had it in you. Making out in public. Where was this girl ten years ago?" Tristan asked.

"Oh she wasn't adverse to the public make out ten years ago." Jess piped up.

"Shut up Jess!" Rory shouted across the table. "And Tristan, it would take a lot more than ten years for me to ever consider a public make out with you!"

"Boys! It's like going back in time!" Paris threw in her ten cents. "Plus Tristan, she made out with me publicly - twice."

All the boys around the table's jaws dropped at that statement.

"Oh my God I'd forgotten that, I witnessed both times" Louise joined in.

"Kitten!"

"Mary!"

"Doogie!"

"Reporter girl!

"Paris!"

"Calm down boys." Rory started. "Once was Tristan here's fault which makes it funnier that he didn't get to see it. Who did you think took over to be Romeo in Chilton, Bible boy?"

"I never thought about it. Damn military school. Girl on girl at Chilton and i didn't get to see it!" Tristan said with a pout.

"Ok Kitten, when was the second time?" Finn asked, holding his girlfriend's hand tightly.

"Spring break Freshman year, I used Rory as my girl on girl college experience." Paris answered before Rory could.

"In the middle of a club on the dance floor," Louise added.

"Damn, Colin, where were we during Kitten's freshman year?" Finn asked.

"Fiji Finn, Fiji."

"Oh yeah, sounds like we should have been in Florida."

"Why does nobody call you by your real name anymore Rory?" Lane asked.

"I've given up getting them all to use my name." Rory stated.

"I use your real name in bed," Finn whispered into Rory's ear.

As Rory flushed crimson, the rest of the table laughed guessing what Finn had just whispered.

"I'm pretty sure her reaction to whatever Finn just whispered to her, shows Mary is still a justified name for her."

"Hey an awful lot of mocking going on, its my birthday you are meant to be nice to me!" Rory whined.

"Stop making everything about you Gilmore," Paris said matter of factly as the rest of the group laughed.

"Doyle I don't know how you lived with these two for so long?" Tristan stated.

"Du Grey, you were at our house in Boston so much you might as well have been living there. You were there voluntarily. I'm claiming Stockholms Syndrome myself." Doyle answered, while reflexively ducking from Paris' arm.

The rest of the night continued in a similar fashion. Conversation never veered into anything serious. The original plan had been to end up in a club, but the group had been having so much fun in the restaurant, they didn't end up leaving the private room until the early hours of the morning.

The next day was Rory's actual birthday. Finn woke up before her, while staring at his beautiful girlfriend, Finn decided to wake her up with his mouth. He silently slipped under the covers and slid down her body. His hands grazed her sides and breasts on the way down. He watched as her nipples hardened instinctively. Finn kissed her thighs gently as he pushed her legs apart. His tongue took a slow, long and gentle swipe over her, swirlinging lightly around her clit, as he continued the long lapping swipes he felt her breathing change as she woke up.

"Finn, what are you doing?"

"Giving you a happy wake up call," he said, smirking against her clit. She could feel him laughing against her clit. The vibrations added to her excitement.

She yelped as he bit down on her clit gently, before soothing it with his kisses. By now she was starting to wraith under him, looking for some more friction. Finn slid two fingers into her. He pressed his mouth as hard as he could against her, applying pressure with his tongue as his fingers continued pumping in and out of her as she grinded against him, riding his hand and face.

"Finn… oh Finn."

He curled his fingers and he felt her body stiffen and her legs vibrate. He continued licking her, lapping up the excess juices that came with her orgasm.

Finn appeared out from under the blanket and smiled down at her proudly, looking at her flushed and sweaty face.

"Happy Birthday Baby" he said, kissing her.

"Let's make it even happier," she replied, as she pulled his mouth down to hers and rolled him over onto his back. They spent the rest of the morning in bed making love.
