AN: I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL FOR REVIEWING AND THAT UPDATES MIGHT BE A LITTLE LONGER TIME BETWEEN CONSIDERING I'M MOVING AND NEED TO GET THE INTERNET HOOKED UP AGAIN. I DON'T OWN GILMORE GIRLS!

Ch 21

"If we didn't live together, I swear I would never see you" I state coming into bed. It's been two weeks since little Caleb as been born and wedding planning has taken over our lives.

"I know, but I just want everything to be perfect" she says snuggling into my side.

"I know, but as long as it end the same way I'm happy Ace" I say and she smiles. She looks exhausted.

"I talked to Victoria and I still have to hit up the book tour in the bigger cities, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami and Minneapolis" she says.

"When" I question knowing that it's a lot traveling like that and now being pregnant she needs to concentrate on that.

"A week after we get home" she cringes and I just stare at her. We are planning the wedding in Hawaii on Maui and then spending another week down there. Lorelai already is going to Alex home with them. We'll be coming home and then she'll be gone again. I hate it but if she doesn't she'll be in breach of the contract and honestly I don't want to deal with the legal allegations with all that.

"How long" I question as she rolls to her side and I hold her close to my chest.

"6 weeks, I should be back in time for Steph's baby and then do all the east coast afterwards" she says yawning.

"What about with Alex and school" I question. He's starting pre-kindergarten in September at St. Marks this fall and he's been talking about it for months. It's surreal that he's attending the primary school of the high school the boys and I went to for three months. I feel old.

"I already took the week prior and the week of off. We have so much to do between supplies, uniforms, parent activity meetings and getting him ready that I need them. You have that big conference that week in London with Mitchum and not returning until the day before he goes. One of us has to be here" she states and I kiss her shoulder.

"Tired or do you have some energy left for me" I smirk hugging her and she yawns again. I'll take that as a no. Two weeks in Hawaii with her is going to be exactly what we need gear up for the next few months of craziness and maybe I even get some again. It's been a week and I need it.

Next Morning

"Mate we need to talk" Finn and Colin storms my office and I look up from the paperwork.

"Boys, what can I do for you" I smirk knowing that they received the invitations that we had delivered for Hawaii.

"What is this and don't tell me just an impromptu vacation" Colin states slamming the invitation on my desk.

"Rory and I want to go away before the baby comes and want all of you to join us. What's wrong with it" I smirk.

"Mate, we've been friends for bloody too long for that to fly. What is the meaning of this" Finn states sitting down.

"Fun in the sun" I say standing up and closing the door. Rory and I decided to invite everyone to a weeklong vacation to Hawaii next week paid in full. Only Lorelai, Luke and Chris know it's for the wedding. We only invited who were truly wanted and that included family and the gang plus Lane and Paris. Small, intimate and exactly what we want. No big society wedding that last for hours like Colin.

"Huntz, really, Steph is flipping out not knowing and wait until Rory gets to be almost 6 months, it's not pretty" Colin laughs.

"I can't tell you" I smirk and they look at each other.

"NO" they exclaim finally getting in.

"Mate, are you serious? After all this time you are pulling the best possible trick in the book" Finn exclaims laughing.

"And Gilmore is okay with this" Colin question.

"It was her idea" I laugh as we exchange man hugs in congratulations.

"99 really do know what she wants, doesn't she" Colin laughs.

"Have you met her, because Ace has always been this way" I state hitting the speed dial on the phone to her cell.

"Help" she yells.

"Ace" I yell thinking something is wrong.

"Steph, get off of me, It's Logan" we hear and laugh at them.

"Ace" I say trying not to laugh.

"Colin, I know you're there if she's here. Call her off, ouch that hurts Steph" Ace states through the phone.

"Logan, tell her to tell me" I hear Steph says as something gets slammed closed.

"She hurt me. Do you have any idea what it's like to be harassed by a pregnant lady? My god, her strength doubled is Colin sure she's taking prenatal vitamins and not muscle building pills" Ace says and we hear banging.

"Ace, the boys figured it out. Just tell her and Rosemary who I'm assuming is there as well" I smirk.

"How, did they tar and feather you? You were told not to tell and what did you do? You told. God, can't you do anything Huntzberger" she scolds me and I look up at the boys. Mood swing 101.

"Love, we knew something was up when we seen all expenses paid for" Finn says.

"I hate you, all of you" she says hanging up.

"Ouch" Finn says.

"They only get worse man, find a safety zone now" Colin says as Dad comes inside.

"You're getting married aren't you" he states and I nod.

"Go home and see your fiancé, now" dad says walking back out and I look at the boys. "No, wait. Get me the expense sheets for this wedding and then go home" he states coming back in and leaving again.

"Is he alright mate, mid life crisis perhaps. He looks a bit happy or did the old man finally get some?" Finn questions me.

"It's the Rory factor, I keep tell you man, that girl is like a precious gem that everyone wants and you get. Lucky bastard; but when you share her, she makes everything amazing. She even managed to change Papa Huntz into a human. Something I thought I would never see" Colin states.

"But she changed me in Yale and you didn't like it. Actually how many times did you complain about it" I question pulling up the wedding file on the computer.

"I know, but no one of us were supposed to get serious and committed like you did in college man" he says.

"This from the guy who got married first" Finn laughs as I print out the three pages.

"And you'll be next Finn, just wait" he says slapping his back.

"Rose and I have an understanding" he counters and I look at Colin before bursting out laughing.

"Right and next you'll tell me she hasn't been pushing for the move in stage" Colin says.

"Or the, I want a baby because Rory and Steph are having on" I add and he looks away.

"She has" Colin laughs. We knew this day would come.

"She can't have kids, guys" he says seriously and we look at him.

"Oh man, I'm sorry" I state knowing that he loves Alex like his own and now I see why. This must kill him.

"Remember the car accident in freshman year that she had" he continues but sits down.

"The one that we thought she wouldn't make it" I say sitting down. This is devastating because they both love kids.

"They did a partial hysterectomy to save her life because the glass cut through it. It would be impossible for her to carry a baby full term" he says and I feel for him.

"It takes a lot for you to love her knowing that man" Colin says. Finn is always so exciting and full of life and right now he looks like he lost part of himself.

"Just because she can't have children doesn't make me live her any less. I knew this going in. I was the only one she told afterwards. I doubt even Steph and Rory know" he says.

"That's why she's stepped back from Steph lately, claiming to be busy all the time. Steph though she did something" Colin says and he nods.

"Watching the two of them, get their dreams of having kids make her feel that it's her fault that we never can" he states standing up.

"But Finn, there's options out there. Surrogacy is a big one, adoption is another. There's other ways to have children Finn" I state.

"She doesn't trust anybody. And she doesn't want a baby that isn't ours. It's why we're going to Australia in August until January" he says and we stare at him.

"Finn, you can allow her to run away from the problem. You do realize that the babies will be here when you return" I state knowing Ace would want to run too.

"Seeing the babies after the fact will be easier. She was okay with Alex when he was a newborn. I think it's more the whole bring another life into this world that she hates" he states.

"But enough about that, bachelor party here or in Maui mate" he states obviously wanting to change the subject.

"Neither" I say grabbing a folder for the report.

"What no way, even Steph allowed one" Colin says as we leave the office.

"This has nothing to do with Rory, I just don't want one" I state knocking on Dad's office.

"Mate, I think I went deaf, did the almighty Huntzberger say no to a party?" Finn smirks at Colin.

"I think so man, I think they are running a two for one special at the hearing aid place, we should get him a backup" Colin replies.

"Funny" I state opening the door.

"Here" I say handing him the folder.

"I don't want you and Rory to pay for this" Dad states hanging up the phone and I look back at the guys.

"Dad, Christopher already tried that" I say knowing I don't want to deal with Rory again over the money issue of this wedding.

"Leave dealing with Rory to me, I can get anyone to see my way son" he says dialing the phone.

"I'm still mad at you" Ace says but this time I hear laughing in the background. I guess they stopped fighting.

"It's Mitchum Rory" Dad says.

"Oh" she says shushing Steph.

"First, I want to see a surprised wedding is just the thing. Intimate and you get what you want" he says and I know he's laying it on thick.

"Um, thank you" she says unsure and I try not to laugh.

"That being said; I want to pay for it. You and my son…" he starts when Rory cuts him off.

"Absolutely not; I will not have you or my father paying for this wedding; I honestly don't give a damn what is society right or blah, blah, whatever. This is our wedding and we will pay for it and I'll tell you the same thing I told my mother and my father. You try and you can find yourself staying in Hartford and missing the entire thing. Do you understand me" she yells and scolds him. He looks up at me and I nod.

"Loud and clear, Rory, but…" he says but gets cut off.

"Don't but me! What are with all you Huntzbergers and your buts? This is how it is and that's the end of it. No buts, expects, however or maybes. The answer is no, final the end and deal with it. Oh and Logan sweetie, bring home cantaloupe, raspberry syrup and chocolate ice cream will you" she says hanging up and everyone is quiet.

"Well" Dad says stunned and I smirk. No one makes Mitchum Huntzberger speechless, but I guess my Ace can.

"I tried to warn you" I state.

"Raspberry syrup and cantaloupe mate" Finn says making a nasty face as I look at him.

"Don't forget the ice cream man. I thought Rory was making a banana split the other night, surprised to begin with knowing that there was fruit in it, but it was that. Alex and I just backed back out of the kitchen and left her alone" I say shaking my head at the memory. It was nasty.

"You're mother used to eat watermelon with pancake syrup with you" Dad says and I can already feel my stomach turning.

"Steph wants blueberry yogurt with Cheerios and chocolate syrup" Colin state and I look at him. Finn looks ready to hurl.

"It's just the beginning, not to mention Rory is a Gilmore. I could only image what her craving are and this is only the first trimester" Dad laughs and close my eyes. What have I gotten myself into?

Colin and I head to the penthouse with supplies and I walk into see Rory, Alex and Steph surrounded by junk food and fruit on the floor of the living room. Alex is passed out on the couch behind the girls "What the hell are they watching" Colin questions and I shake my head. They haven't even looked up since we came in. "Ace" I say and she waves her hand at me to be quiet. "Gross" Colin states disgusted and I look up. "Ace" I try again but the girls are heading their head in each other's shoulders.

"Okay enough" I state shutting the TV. I really hate the TLC channel. A baby story is all she will watch lately.

"Logan" she states.

"Huntz come on, we were watching that" Steph complains.

"You're both obsessed with that show" Colin says and they look at him. Bad move.

"Well sorry that it's our bodies that are getting stretched out and changing because you couldn't remember to wrap yourself. If we want to watch exactly what will be happening deal with it. We'll be so drugged up on pain meds by then to realize what's going on and I for one, want to know what's ahead for me" Rory yells at him getting up.

"Gilmore" he says stepping back. Steph is still planted on the floor; she's showing and almost 6 months along. Rory on the other hand, doesn't even show.

"Huntz" he says as she backs him into the island.

"You have no idea what is doing on with us and you get the easy job McCrea while Steph and I have to get up for feedings, diapers and all go through the damn labor. So shut your mouth and be glad that we love you enough to do this" she says but stopping when something catches her eye. "Strawberry, I thought I said raspberry. Didn't I say raspberry Steph" she says turning to me.

"Yes" Steph says.

"I got both" I state defending myself and walking to the island, pulling out the raspberry for her.

"Oh" she says smiling at me.

"Steph, let's go" Colin says helping her up.

"Bye girlie and I'll find that thing we were talking about" Steph says and Rory giggles. I'm confused. They leave and I look at Rory who's sitting on the island.

"What is Steph finding" I question walking to her. Something for the wedding that I can't seem to find" she says eating the strawberries out of the carton from the farmer's market we stopped out.

"Mmm" she moans out and I look at her.

"Good" I smirk as she opens her eyes.

"Very" she says taking another with the same reaction.

"Ace, you keep moaning like that, I'm going to be forced to have my way with you" I smirk kissing her neck.

"As we can take these and maybe the syrup, I'm game" she says squeezing the butterscotch syrup on top and eating it. Chocolate I can do, but butterscotch I will pass on.

"Never mind" I say stepping away. Weird craving is a definite mood killer.

"Okay" she says hoping off and heading to the recliner and flipping the TV on.
