CH 2 Reactions
"Hey mate, where's Alex" Finn questions walking in to the penthouse. I got home from spending the afternoon with Rory and put Alex down for his nap. "Mate" Finn says waving his hand in front of me as Colin comes in following him.
"Sleeping Finn" I say.
"What's wrong man" Colin questions.
"Alex ran away in Macy's this afternoon" I state shaking my head. He's so like me when I was little. I was always running away from the nanny's, driving my parents crazy. Well that last part is still true. Maybe he'll outgrow it, but I doubt it.
"What" they say shocked.
"Yeah and you would never guess who found him" I smirk. They will never guess. It's still unbelievable. She looked amazing. The years have been great to her. Her hair slightly shorter than graduation with gorgeous red and blonde highlights that make her cheekbones and blue eyes stand out. She still has that flair of determination, but with more confidence that she didn't have in Yale. Like she knows who she is and what her life is.
"Oh, I'm good at this game let me think" Finn says excitedly pacing the floor. "Steph was with you early doing god knows what" he says pointing at Colin. "Rosemary and Juliet were in the Hamptons, so that would leave the gorgeous Reporter girl" he says smirking and I look at him.
"How the hell did you know that" I state.
"I'm good plus she called me" he smirks sitting down.
"What" I say almost jealous that she did and Colin laughs.
"Oh no wait…you're completely over her right, isn't that what you said, were you lying to us man. Finn, I think he was lying" Colin laughs.
"I guess so mate, but we didn't believe him to begin with. She was looking for Red and I answered" Finn replies.
"She was rambling and does that girl ever breathe when she does that. Her lung capacity must be bloody amazing" he states and I throw a pillow at him. "Right anyways, you went on to say how she couldn't believe you had a son and that you were great with him just like she knew you would be with your children and that it was weird yet great to see you again. Then she went on about something with chocolate, whip cream and snowballs before she burst out laugh. I was imaging all different things and I told her it was me. She got awfully quiet and hung up. What's up with the whip cream and chocolate mate, does love have a fetish with them during sex or what. No wonder you kept her to yourself. Mean mate really" he states
"I thought you had Alex with you. Kinky I say" Colin adds and they look at me.
"I bought them hot chocolate and Alex hit me with a snowball. Ace thought it was the funniest thing" I smile thinking about. The way the sun hit her face while she was laughing; she still so beautiful but acts like she still doesn't know it. I love that.
"Bloody hell you said Ace" Finn exclaims as Alex comes running in "Uncle Finn" he yells jumping on Finn's lap. So what if I called her Ace, I always called her that. Okay that's not true I couldn't even say Ace for a while and every time we played cards I thought of her. I'm pathetic.
"Guess what" he says excitedly.
"Hey little man what about me" Colin says tickling him.
"Hi Uncle Colin, you guess too" he smirks.
"What" Finn says just as excited as Alex was, I had to laugh the boys love Alex and took to him better than I thought.
"Daddy got lost and I met a pretty lady and she helped me find daddy and she's afraid of Santa too and her name is Rory. I like that name. Do you like it? Daddy says he does too but he keeps calling her um…"he says jumping on his knees on the couch between the guys and he looks at me for the answer.
"Ace" I supply him.
"Yep, that's it Ace. But I tell him it's Ro-ry, what's an Ace?" Alex says and they burst out laughing.
"Alex likes Rory what about you Huntz" Colin smirks.
"She looked good" I reply getting up and getting Alex juice. I don't want them to interrogate me on Ace.
"Good, the girl is bloody gorgeous mate, did you become temporarily blind mate? Those legs alone go on for mile no wonder you keep her to yourself" Finn says. I just look at him.
"And she has blue eyes. I like them daddy" Alex says and shake my head.
"So do I little man, but we may never see Rory again" I say hoping that won't happen. Colin and Finn just look at each other and I don't want to know what they're thinking. Alex looks upset, but what can I do?
Rory POV
"Rory" Paris says letting herself into my penthouse and she finds me in my bedroom with the Logan boxes all over the floor. I'm in his Andover long-sleeved tee and a pair of his boxers, two empty vodka bottles, one bottle of tequila and a scotch bottle next to me. "Uh no, I thought you were over this" she says trying to sit down on the floor but the pregnant belly won't let her so she sits on the bed.
"I thought so too, but I saw him today Paris and he has son, this adorable boy that looks just like him. He had this whole life these past few years and what did I have? Nothing" I cry hard touching my LDB dress for the first time.
"A career that people would kill for, awards in journalism that you earned by your hard work and dedication, a book in the works that is going to hit the bestseller list and much more" she says.
"I sacrificed love for all that. I sacrificed true love for all that and I'm alone. I hate being alone" I cry holding the rocket to my chest. True love is waiting. But he couldn't wait for me like I did could he? He moved on and had a child with someone that wasn't me.
"You have family that loves you, friends that adore you, and what about Tristan? I thought the two of you were hitting it off. You two looked happy a few weeks ago" she questions.
"The sex was great, don't get me wrong, but we fight and yell all the other times. I don't want a relationship like that. It was too hard and too much work. I want someone I can curl up to on the couch and watch movies with. I want someone that will make sure that I eat more than coffee and pop tarts all day long. I want someone that will surprise me for no real reason except that he wanted to. I want Logan" I cry leaning my head on her knee and she runs her fingers through my hair.
"Talk to Tristan about it" she says.
"Tristan and I broke up last week too" I say crying. The only one that knew that was Mom. "Then I call Rosemary forgetting that she was in the Hamptons and Finn answered. Finn, of all people; I haven't talked to him in almost five year and went off like I would with Rose, god now Logan will see that I'm crazy and never talk to me" I cry harder.
"First off, Huntzberger already knows that. You dated for three years and he loved you. Second, stop over thinking and just let faith guide you. If it's meant to be than it will be. You need to sleep" Paris says making me get up and crawl into bed.
"I hate being alone Paris. I hate that I chose a career over the love of my life. But most of all I hate that Alex isn't ours. I want Logan and I want a baby" I say "I know Rory and you will have it, you just need time" she says pulling the covers over me and turns off the light. She has calmed down since she got pregnant.
I walk up in the morning and see that Paris must have called Doyle to come over and help her clean up. All the boxes are back packed up and in the closet. Good. Without Paris and Lane those first three months, I would have been swallowed up in self pity. I went on the campaign trying to find my way again. It was when I moved to New York, that I reconnected with Steph and the girls. Not once did they bring up Logan or the guys. We plan to go out at least once a month and it's always just a girls' night. Hell the first time I talked to Finn was when I call Rosemary yesterday. I walk into the living room and I was completely shocked when I see everyone in my living room.
"Hey Love" Finn states and I look around to see Steph, Rosemary and Colin there too.
"Mmm" I say hurting from the hangover and closing my eyes heading to the kitchen.
"Nice shirt Gilmore" Colin says and look at him. I really want to hit him. So what if it's Logan. It's comfortable.
"She's worse than mate; I thought I would never see the day" Finn laughs looking in the trash and see the empty bottles.
"Girls are usually worse with heartbreak Finn" Steph says hugging me. "You okay, need anything girlie?" she questions. I shake no and she lets go. I just want to wallow more in self pity and that's something I have to do alone.
"Guys, I really appreciate you being here. Colin and Finn nice to see you again, but leave" I say throwing back 3 aspirin and water before heading back to my room and shutting the door. I don't want to deal with them.
